An agreeable speaking voice is one of the greatest charms you can cul tivate. In your association with other girls you would feel deeply hurt if any one accused you Don’t I ie Her Up at Home All the Time By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. A If you are look- IW|W ing forward to a yC —:— social c a reer. — nothing can be more valuable to ELLA WHEELER WILCOX, vou than ac quaintance with languages; and if vou are expecting to be self-support ing you will find a linguist who reads and writes two languages besides English has many more desirable i hances for gaining a good salary than one who knows only English. Therefore, I would advise you to apply yourself to your Latin earnest ly; and then it will be less of a labor to acquire the French, Spanish. Ital ian and German—one or all of them. But unless you mean Lo study some language I see no benefit in your giv ing time to Latin. Be thorough in English and study its niceties. Do not be stilted or pedantic, but no matter what sort of slang and toarseness your associates may in dulge in and think it “smart,” in the American way of applying that word, •void all loose and sloppy language, ns you would avoid soiled clothing. The rarity of good English (or good American) among our high school and college graduates is shocking and h militating to one who takes pride h being an American. The rarity of well placed voices is equally shocking and ear-bruising. An important part of your educa tion should be in learning how to use your vocal Organs in speaking. of being common in your looks or actions. Then avoid the com monest qualities possible in a hu man being—jeal ousies and gos sip. Teach yourself to praise freely and criticise rare ly; and when you have a criticism to make, make it only to one whom you feel can be helped by your words to over come a. fauit —never behind the back of the offender. Learn to sympa thize with your schoolmates i n their trials, but also learn what is harder still: to rejoice with them when they sur pass you in any achievements, or win any prizes for which you may be seeking. Root out envy and jealousy from your nature, and know ip so doing you will make yourself more lovable and more admired than by attaining the highest school honors. Character building is a greater work than brain building. Be ready to share your best friends with others, and do not be one of those exacting and unreasonable girls who wants no one to love or be loved by her friends but herself. In every community and school such types are common, and it always savors of pettiness and lack of broad and noble qualities. Just as each flower .n the garden has its place, so each friend and acquaintance has a place; and no one should crowd another. Be helpful wherever you can, and be appreciative of the hard work your teachers have done and are do ing to til! their positions. Teaching is one of the most trying and nerve taxing occupations, and if you show consideration, affection and courtesy to your teachers it helps to lessen their troubles and gives zest to their labors. Even as a pupil, remember, you have something to give as well as something to receive. GOOD many husbands labor un der the idea, that if they give their wives a good horrid* and arc generous in money matters they arc doing all that should be expected of them. • “Woman’s place,” a man argues*, “is at home. She should be quite happy attending to her house and children; they should fill her life. As for me- 1 am a man of affairs-—it is necessary that 1 see life from all side?.” He expects his wife to be perfectly content in the narrow coniines of the home circle. If she grows dull'and unattractive he finds re.crcajiort in tin* society of some other woman. Too much of anv one thing is bad | for everybody, and too much"home and i babies is bad for even the most' do- ; mestie of women. 1 It is very easy for. a. wo map to g«-t it into her head that the bolide and children can not possibly get on with out her even for a day. The Difference. Her husband, who should Im the ntu to get her out of her rut, is too much absorbed by business, politics or out side pleasures to notice what a dull routine her life is. He is vaguely aware that he is not ah attractive as she used to he, but as long as his meals or. good- and lie «.-■ comfortable he does not much care. He loves her, of course, but in a very prosaic, take-it-for-granted sort of w*y,\ He would miss his eom'o.c: more than her companionship if she went out of his life. Sometimes he wishes discontentedly that she would be as gay and viva cious as young Mrs So arid So. whon. he met the other day. He does nut realize that she is swamped witn household cares and a growing family It is absolutely necessary that the mother of a family should have relax ation. The father has* his business, with its varied interests and excite ments. He probably belongs to a club of some kind; he has plenty to keep I his mind alert and interested. But the mother sometimes for.days ! does not get away from the house and | children. Her husband comes home, reads his- paper and goes to bed. H<t 1 life goes on day in and day out in the I same old grind. What She Likes. Row tired she gets of eating and h ! many cases cooking the dinners she • orders day after day. How she would enjoy out to dinner once a week, dressed in her prettiest clothes and dining with a husband who paid, ii r | the little attentions he u.-ed to in tin j courting days! The relief of getting away from t'm house and even the beloved babies for a while would be great. MANY HUSBANDS MAKE THIS SAD MISTAKE: Daysey Mayme And Her Folks IDE. By FRANCES L.

According to my dictionary here, the former is a ‘slope up.’ and the lat ter ‘a slope down.’ I've never yet seen a slope up that didn’t slope down.” “Yes, ma'am.” said Harry, the out-o’- work man. “I know I look like a strong man. hut out of my fifty years op life I've spent more than sixteen years in bed.” “Why, you poor man!” replied the lady, sympathetically, handing him a copper. “What has been the trouble- paralysis?” “No. ma’am.” said Harry, "jest a reg'lar habit of Sieepin’ eight hours a day, ma'am.” The lesson in history was in prog ress, and in vain the teacher coaxed her class to answer. At last.she bright ened up. She had reached the star pu pil of her little class. “Now.

The story is told that when M. Poin care. the new President of the French Republic, first entered politics one of his youthful political opponents taunted him with his youthfulness. “I may be young.” M. Poincare re plied, “hut I promise you that some thing shall be done every day to wipe out that disadvantage.” An Englishman who bad been for a tour around the world was mtifcft an noyed by a report of bis return which appeared in a local paper. This report ended. “His numerous friends are -surprised that he is unhanged.” He did not know lhat the offender was the compositor, who, in setting up the report, had omitted a letter ”c,“ thus substituting the word “unhanged “unchanged,” which the reporter written. ored by being one of these for a while.” He Eats Humble Pie. “Surely,” objected .Beatrice, “you do not mean, to intimate that 1 tried to attract you. or that I trie<J to make you pay attention to , me!” “On the contrary,” declared Robert Maynard, "the fact that at times you seemed Lo avoid me, piqued and irritated me. . You know men always-want that which is 'beyond their reach. So I made«. fool of myseK.” * - “By admiring me, yoh mean?” queried liis companion. “You are hardly com plimentary.” / She smiled as she spoke, but there was a hint of acerbity in her tone, and the man was conscious of it. ~ “Ah,” he’begged, “dear Mrs. Minor, don’t misunderstand me! And please hear ine out! I want to make a clean breast of the matter. “I thought myself, in loVe with you. I was lonely, and when you discouraged my attentions I was angry. .Then J met Miss Damerel ffequeptly. You know’ how lovely she is. . ] asked her to mar ry me. She accepted me. “Then she went away to the country and I was left without the charm of her presence, affd suddenly I found my self earing a great deal about you. I saw that you were tired of me. that you doubted me, that you disapproved of me., And one day wiien' I was unhappy I took more liquor than I should have taken—and I called on you and said many things for which I now apolqgize. Will you pardon me?” Beatrice thought quickly, but there’ was no perceptible pause before she re plied: “Certainly, 1 pardon you. And I am more than . willing to. fojrgqt it. Moreover, I consider that the matter now is none of my business.” “Because I am engaged to be married,' you mean?” he asked. “Well, let me explain that 1 found,' when I went to the mountains where’Miss Damerel \vas staying, that, after all, she was the* une woman in the world for me. Then I was heartily ashamed of my behavior while away from- her.” Beatrice’s sense of humor asserted itself, but she repressed it. The words “How happy could I be with either Were t’other dear charmer away!” said themselves,over in her- mind# .but she did not allow them to rise to her lips. lusteajj,/Hlie;,gaveTkeed to what her romi>ank)n l vrafc saving. “We are to be hiai*ffe,d In ten* days, you know ." lie went oh, "atid, of course. my dear little gir! wanted to send you cards for the wedding, but I asked her to wait, for I wanted to make my peace with your first.” You did not tell her that, did you?” asked Beatrioe abruptly. “Oh, no. indeed!” Maynard replied, “I told her it would be best to wait until 1 could learn from Mrs. Robbins where •you were. So 1 wrote and asked her.” “We came into town last week,” said Beatrice, to fill in the sudden pause that followed his speech. Please accept my hearty -congratulations on your happi ness.” She had stopped thinking of this man and hijs affairs, and was wishing she dared ask him about his brother. Rut she was afraid to trust her voice. As if in reply to her thought Robert May nard spoke suddenly. “Paul’s Wife Is Dead.’’ “I was shocked to hear of your mis fortune by fire, and of the accident to poor Paul.” he said, heedless of the ex pression of pain that swept across his listener’s face. He was one of the men who like to impart news, and he had come to tell. “It was strange that this accident should have happened to my brother just when it did. For on that very morning he had received the news that his wife w ? as dead.” “Dead!” ejaculated Beatrice. “His wife?” “Yes—I thought you probably had not heard of It. She led him a dance all Vight, neglecting his only child when it was a tiny baby, so that it died at less than a year of age. That woman made an inferno of his home w'hen she was in it, and stayed away from it as much as she could. “At last she ran away, without the shadow of an excuse. Poor old Paul waited until he was certain that there was no chance of ever having her before he got a dviorce from her. And in less than a fortnight after he got his divorce in fact, .just when he had completed the entire business—she dropped dead of heart disease out West somewhere. So - a merciful Providence freed him at last. Poor old chap! I hope he will have some happiness yet in his life be fore lie dies!" Beatrice tried to $peak, but her tongue failed to do her bidding. Her hands and feet were like ice. The room seemed to swim before her eyes. The sound of the children’s footsteps in the hall roused her from her stunned con dition, but, before she could speak, Rob ert Maynard arose hastily. “I must go!” he exclaimed. “I left a taxi waiting down below for me. Good day. Mrs. Minor! And thank you! And pleqse come to the wedding!" He shook her hand quickly, and. be fore she could find words iq which to ask the question that trembled on her lips, lie was gone.

At last they appeared, and the sight of his daugh ter caused his wrath, which had long been smoldering, to burst into flame. She wore low shoes and silk stock ings, though the day was cold. Her akirt was so tight she walked gin gerly-, and her hair was so combed that only enough of her face showed to prove she was not afraid to fool with her complexion.
