shattering the Looking-glass. ,
Men will always worship beauty. '
They will like to be seen about with !
women who look like living pictures. !
Tl'ey will nit by the hour and dea- '
tM i t. upon their Ideal of feminine
cl. rm, and lead you to believe that
r .voman who did not look like '
A t i could interest them. j
Wnen, however, they come to mar-
l. ninety-nine times out of a bun- '
Ii" I. they will pick out for a wife
jm.,o woman who hasn't the allghtest
pivtonBe to prettlness, and nevr
claimed to have. In proof whereof,
tune a look at the marriod women of
your acquaintance, many of whom
risk shattering the looking-glass ev
ery time they take a look into it.
The woman who knows that her
face is plain, doesn't expect to bo
admired, and is so humbly grateful
to every man who shows her any at
tention that she is perfectly willing
to burn incense before him.
Hard knocks for the plain wom
ar sets battered about a good deal
by life teach her sympathy and un
derstanding, so that, Instead of be
ing a queen to be worshipped, she
is a man's best friend and comrade),
ready to pity him w-hen things go
wrong, and rejoice with him when
tSry go right, and at times to enter
into his hopes and plans and fears.
Good looks don't count nearly so
much as some people think. To ap
preciate this fact you have only to
look about you and see the many
extremely plain women who are
making their husbands supremely
hnppy. In fact, men who marry be
cause of a woman's good looks alone
are not so numerous as you may
think.
A man likes a woman to be wom
anly. He does not want her inter
fering in things that don't concern
her. And yet he wants her to be
interested 1a what Is going on In
the world and if he loves her he
thinks her opinion invaluable on all
pubjects, no matter how great.
Although an astute woman novel
ist has said that no man ever mar
i .ed a woman for her intelligence,
this is certainly the most desir
able quality In a wife, provided she
understands the proper use of it and
toes not let her smartness and wit
:i away with her. The man with
Intelligent wife surely has the
' bargain, and the fact that so
ly men marry plain women would
.n to Indicate that they And in
.tm intelligence and sympathy
?h more than compensate for
,.io lack of beauty.
It should also be noted that there
is no woman on earth bo fascinating
as the ugly woman who is fascinat
ing. She may not attract a man at
urst, but when she gets him she
r -ilds him at least long enough to
r 2t him to the altar.

Ine Mnrjr Holies of Oshcrton, Nut
tlnhnmsliirc, Was So Honored.
Tho rank of baronet was given
first by King James I., as a mean f
raising money. The recipients or
the dignity were to be gentlemen of
good birth possessing not less r.han
1.000 a year; and In times of war
like the old knights banneret
wer" to occupy posts of honor near
the royal standard.
The money payment has wholly
ceased; but when a baronet la cre
ated the ancient form of warrant is
still retained, and a "tally" is struck
at the exchequer and handed to tho
new baronet by ..ay of receipt. Bar
onets have no coronet or robes; but
In the Kngllsr and Irish divisions
they possess as a distinct badse the
"Bloody Hand of Ulster," which Inva
riably appears o . their coat of arms.
The baronets "of Nova 8cotla,"
who date before the union of England
and Scotland, show the arms of ova
Scotia upon their shields. The bar
onets of Scotland have a distinctive
badge consisting of an enameled dec
oration, "worn from the neck !y
orange-tawny ribbon," showing St.
Andrews cross upon a small shlelJ.
surmounted by a crown, and sur
rounded by the enameled motto,
"Fax mentis honestae gloria'
("Glory, the Beacon Light of the No
ble mind"),
With this King Charles conferred a
crest a branch of laurel held by u
naked hand, and a thistle held by an
armed one with the added motto,
".lunit haec, altera vlnclt" ("One
defends, the other conquers"). Al
later baronets are of the United
Kingdom" or of "Great Britain," and
possess no such pretty toys.
In fact, many people who pride
themselves on their famlllarty win
Debrett know scarcely anything of
baronets, badges, and beyond a mis
ty notion of the meaning of the Uul
ster Hand, are unaware of their hla
tory and significance.

majesty's service." No slight help
in those troublous times.
"Dame," the old English word tor
lady, U the almost obsolete style to
be used by a ba 'onet's wife. Nowa
days she is styled "lady" without the
use of her Christian name. Should
she prefer the old word "dame," that
is always followed by the Christian
name, and sounds dellclously quaint
and distinctive. Modern Society.

Girl Who Connives.

For Women Who Work.
"Our confero'oe this year Is de
signed to bring us Into closer touc'i
with the women who, from choice or
circumstances, are earning their own
living. We are to discuss the eco
nomic position of women. We -shall
try to picture the conditions under
which they work, and criticize the
payment they receive."
vv'th these words Mrs. George Cad
bury, president of tho National Un
ion of Women Workers, opened the
women's conference at Manchester.
j'm. Cadbury prefaced her address
by explaining why she had called the
paper "The Kiddle of Circumstance."
"I have been overwhelmed with
thoughts of the ruzzle of life and the
riddle of circumstance," she nald.
"Why is it that hundreds of thous
ards are born Into circumstances
where there seems no chance of lead
ing either healthy, useful, or desir
able lives?
"I am afraid to trust myself to
speak of the owners of slum proper
ty," she said. "In London alone
300,000 to iOO.OOO people have
homes consisting of one room. Can
we be surprised when we hear of
physical deterioration, infant mortal
ity, mental Incapacity and drunken
habits?
"There are many evils to be con
tended with in factory life. Only
those who know well the daily life of
a factory girl know the temptations
and dangers and influences that sur
round her. There are some three
and a half millions of unmarried
women who work for their living in
England.
"The employer might alleviate the
monotony of work by offering prizes
for suggestions. Committees of men
and women might be formed to dis
cuss and share responslbllltes of ar
rangements. Educational facilities,
gardens and recreation grounds might
be provided; classes for drill insti
tuted among the younger girls; game
mistresses could teach hockey, crick
et and basketball during the summer
evenings; and evening continuation
classes might be started, and the at
tendance of 'he boys and girls made
a condition of employment."
Mrs. Beer deplored the fact that
women tend to crowd Into unskilled
trades and lower the general stand
ard of wages. There also was reason
to believe, she Bald, that the number
of children who enter a Bkllled trade
on leaving school was steadily de
creasing. v
Sbe contended that it was fatally
easy for a child nowadays to enter
employment iu which the Initial
wages are high, but which offers no
prospects for the future. London

no room left in them for bemoaning

perhaps the measure of its own value;
those are trifling benefits for which
we pay nothing. My career has
doubtless cost me the realization of

"It is, I think, only in stories that
things happen so crudely. In real
life the matter is more subtly ad
justed," writes Ann O'Hagan In Har
per's Bazaar. "We we professional
womn are busy, we are interested
In our work, we are profoundly in

THE POST CARD CRAZE.
Rare Indeed is the Home Today thr.t
Has Not Some Collection.
The legitimate post cards are ure
ful. They permit thousands to bs
come acquainted with the fine works
of art that they would never see nt
all were It not for tho little messen
ger that comes through the mall.
They can be placed in frames arftl
make a room artistic and pleasant;
an album of them is the aftermath
of a pleasant journey; a delicate
frieze may be made around a room
with them, the beautifully tinted ones
of scenic panorama and those that
blend or harmonize in color serving
as an excellent border.
And think what a revenue is ac
cruing to the government of the
co'irtrle8 where tho post card craze
has taken possession of the people.
On every pound of cards mailed
Uncle Sam pockets $1.20; that Is
nearly $15 a minute, $900 an hour.
$21,000 a day, $151,200 a week, and
nearly $8,000,000 a year. Lucky
Uncle Sam! Merchandise of the
same weight pays only 16 cents a
pound, books 8 cents, newspapers and
magazines 1 cent. In the summer
time when the craze Is at its height,
some of the smaller post offices are
exhausted of their supply of one
cent stamps and the mall bags are
filled to the bursting point. Estab
lishments are now being run whose
stile business it is to handle picture
post cards; delightful little out-of-the-way
places that were never hoard
of before are each season being in
troduced to the public through the
means of the post card; people are
attracted thither, and the landlords
of the place and the Inhabitants In
goneral are benefited. Think what
a web of scene and color Is woven
across the country each summer sea
son as the government's great loom
of mall routes Is fed this enormous
number of cards that go direct, diago
nally and zigzag across the country
ceaselessly, one after the other.'
Rare indeed la the home today that
has not some collection, be It ever
so small, of these cards on the wall
O" on the table. The craze will not
abate; rather It will ' increase and
more and more cards will be Issued,
beautiful, comic and bizarre In de
sign, to attract the host of purchasers.--The
