THE THOUGHTLESS HUSBAND
fBllen Adair Deals Willi the Grievance of the Long-Suffering Wife,
The wheels of married life must be well
tolled If they are to run with any sort
of smoothness. The majority of unhannv
mimlngoB arc caused by wnnt of thought
more than by want of heart.
Tho thoughtless husband Is to bo met
with everywhere Ho may be exceedingly
fond of his wife, but he Is thoughtless
regarding her, and she naturally resents
It. Hence vnrlous matrimonial upheavals
arise!
By thoughtlessness I do not mean nes
lent. That Is too strong a wordl Tho
thoughtless husband may be most atten
tive and dovoted to his wife. Ho may bo
always at her beck and call yet he doc?
not possess tho saving grace of tnct, and
'shows a lack of understanding sympathy.
Men do not rcallzo tho dldlculty of
liouBckccptng, for Instnnce. Tho average
man will bring guests homo to dinner
without giving his wlfo tho slightest
warning that ho Intends to do so. He
catmot understand why sho feels wor
ried and excited.
"Calm yourself. Mury!" ho will say;
"It doesn't really matter what wo liavo
to cat tonight! Jim Brown Is not par
ticular, and I'm so hungry that 1 could
eat anything!"
But "Mary" knows from past experi
ence long-suffering woman that "any
thing" will not do to set beforo tho un
expected guest! Sho rushes around tho
liouso and out to tho neatest store and
works herself Into a fever over the pro
raring of tho dinner.
In homos which boast of many servants,
this typo of thoughtless husband does
not work such havoo with his poor
wife's happiness, for tho heavy end of
FOR THE
LONELY GIRL
j Hints ITrom a Sympathizer
Seldom can tho heart t lonely
If It seek a lonelier still:
SeU-forgettlnir, eeeklnc only
Emptier cups with love to till.
F. n. H.
"Are you going out this evening?"
Amy looks up from her book for ono
Instant, then she moodily shakes her
bead.
"Going out!" sho retorts. "No. "What's
tho good7 I h.avo nobody to go out
with."
So Amy stays In. Sho misses tho fresh
ness of tho autumn evening. Sho
shuts herself up with her thoughts and
her grievances.
Everybody appears to be happy except
liorself. Everybody else seems to havo
a friend. With a bitter pang, sho notices
tho man who literally hangn upon every
word uttered by tho girl who Is clinging
to his arm.
"I Am So Lonely"
Oh, moro than onco you and I have felt
tho full meaning of that expression, "I
am so lonely," haven't we? Wo havo
suddenly discovered that wo are Just a
tiny unit, and that somehow or other wo
Just don't count
But, of course, this Isn't true, although
we may bo Inclined to think so nt times.
"Ve look at the Joyous faces around us,
nnd wo seem "shut out," as it were, from
the pleasures others enjoy.
The Cure
As a mnttcr of fnct, I am inclined to
think that tho loneliness Is sometimes a
blessing In disguise.
How greatly we shnll appreciate tho
real friend who will possibly turn up one
day better late than never! Tho being
who will see eyo to eyo with us, and yet
who will kindly sympathize with our
fallings, and who will lend a hand when
Xftfc are beset with difficulties.
r But It Is a serious matter from n
woman's point of view. I have known n
woman to marry more from the dread
sense of loneliness In the future than
from a feeling of love.
And this Is why, now we are on tho
subject, that I feel Inclined to sound a.
little note of warning. It Is bad enough
to spend a. day or a week with a person
who Jars ever so slightly upon ono,
but how would It be If It meant a llfo
.time together?
The best way to get out of the lonely
feeling Is first of all to get out of our
selves. The self-forgetting habit Is worth cul
tivating. It teaches us to keep our eyes
open to the needs of others, and it in
cidentally teaches us that. In nine cases
out of ten, we possessed blessings of
which we were In total ignorance until
we compared our lot with that of our
next-door neighbor!
THE ROUND-SHOULDERED GIRL
The round-shouldered girl Is always
tw Wltn ub. Olio Yfaa nub ou vciy jiiuimuciib
until lately, when the "debutante slouch"
(whatever that is) and fashion book Illus
trations encouraged this attitude.
It la really too bad that our fine,
straight American girls should endanger
their health and ruin their appearances
for a mere passing fad. The hunched-up
shoulders and prominent abdomons of last
season were disgusting, and tickle fash
ion has changed her decree. This year
the straight, upright figure Is In style.
Tho Influence of the military fashions Is
snowing itself in a most commendable
way.
But In some cases the problem of the
round-shouldered girl remains. Corsets,
braces and all such surgical arrange--ments
are of no use; the girl herself gets
tired of them very soon and throws them
'aside. She must be taught, first, to
""breathe properly; and second, to stand
correctly.

tho benm falls on the servants, not upon
herself,
A husband who Is thoughtless In the
small domestic ways can he cured of It
If a judicious attitude Is maintained nt
tho outset by his wlfo. Sty sympathies
are all with her, and the remedy really
lies within her own hands, It sho but
knew It.
It Is qulto truo that many wives are
foolish In the methods .thoy ndopt to euro
this type of thoughtless husband. They
bemoan his shortcomings to nil and sun
dry, nnd at afternoon icceptlons, wom
en's clubs anil women's caul parties, onn
will son them lay the family skeleton

"John Is tho most careless, thought

understand howmuch I have to do! Illght
at my busiest time he wants me to go
out nutomnblllng with him, or off to tho

Personally, I thought that this typo of
Inconsiderate husband was rather at
tractive than otherwise! Viewed In the
most erltlriil spirit he only showed a
llttlo want of thought and that wns
amply counterbalanced by his kindliness!
1 think llioso other women must havo
envied the llttlo grumbling wife, and ,in
their hearts wished that their husbands
were equally attentive!
No amount of nagging will cure tho
thoughtless husband. It will only double
the evil by serving to cslrango him alto

over-willing person only gets the loull.

Ideas in Idleness
A man who Is determined to succeed In
llfo will not let a woman tlo him down.
Trust goes hand-ln-hand with love.
There Is no real affection when these are
separate.
Tho great advantage of a small house
is that there Is no room for inconvenient
relations.
No amount of lovo and devotion can
overlook a sloppy woman seven days a
week.

man can bo himself, with all tho fallings

A man can sympathize with a whining
woman Just so long. When ho gets ac
customed to her, he's a brute.
The Suffrage Strength in
Denmark
The suffrage struggle, it nppears, Is
nearly over in Denmark. The Govern
ment bill embodying franchise has been
twlco passed by the Folkcthlng, or Lower
House, nnd twlco rejected by tho Lands
thing, tho Conservative Upper House,
Now It is hoped that a compromise has
been arrived at by which the bill will
pass Immediately. As a dissolution oc
curs this year, the Danish women may
vote this spring.
When Making Coffee
Sprinkle a little salt on the coffee before
pouring on boiling water and the flavor
will be wonderfully Improved.
sides of tho body at the edge of the lower
ribs should push outward. Kew women
will find they can -o this, because their
clothes nre constraining. This Is a se
rious defect and the organs of tho chest
and lungs will be affected sooner or later.
This Is the Interior result: the exterior
result Is the slouching, inelegant figure.
To stand properly let the arms hang
naturally at the Bides, taking care that
the splno maintains a vertical position,
so that a line drawn from shoulder to
hip would bo straight up and down. Now
raise the chest, keeping tho chin close
to the neck and the abdomen retracted,
and your round shoulders will disappear.
This proves that the shoulders are willing
to do their part and are not the offenders
the offender la the girl herself.
If you are dealing with a round
shouldered girl, don't say anything to
her about her Bhoulders, but Induce her
to wear the proper clothes, allowing free
dom to the waist muscles, and to breathe
deeply. Then the problem of round
shoulders is solved forever.
Vegetable Soup
Two onions, one-half a small cabbage,
two ounces of dripping or margarine, one
pound of potatoes, salt and pepper, mac
aroni, flour or cornflour (a small quan
tity of either).
Melt the fat in the pan. Cut up the
onions very small and fry in the fat.
Prepare the potatoes and cabbage, out
them up very small and stir them In with
the onions. Add the flavoring and two
quarts of water. Simmer all gently -till
the vegetables are soft. If flour Is used
for thlokentng, mix It with a little cold
water, stir It Into the boiling soup and
continue stirring gently for 10 minute.
If macaroni la mad. It should be added
when the soup is about half done and

Pearl Barley Drink
Barley Is a nutiltlous grain, and makes
a very acceptable drink when nicely made.
Put about two ounces of barley into a
basin, and wash It In two waters, then
put the barley Into a quart of boiling
water nnd simmer It for about threo
h-iurs until the liquor is reduced f about
half. Should It require more water be
fore quite cooked, add It; stir often or
It may burn. Strain the liquid and put
to cool. When required It may be sweet
ened to taste. Mixed with milk (cream
is nicer), and many nurses add a glass
of wine, barley water may be sweet
ened and makes a nice warm drink. The
barley should not be thrown away as
many would do; It may be made Into
omelettes, or pies, or put Into soups. Bar
ley water does not keep long; It Is better
to make a little and otfen.
For the Baby
A dainty and usoful gift for the baby
consists of a big sheet of Turkish towel
ing of the very softest quality. This Is
large enough to spread over mother's or
nurse's lap when baby takes a bath. To
complete the set a bath towel and a
wash oloth Is added.
The three pieces are edged with a little
buttonholing of pale pink or blue, with
the baby's Initial, If he or she has one.
Some other models have a little flower
In the corner, or "Bady'a Bath" em
broidered across the centre. The set Is
charming, but very useful.
Schools for Mothers
There are now In London 800 schools

MODES OF
THE HOUR
The Almost Universal Dominance of
ihe Elaborate Costumes Now In
Vogue Gives the Very Simple Frock
a Charm of Distinction In Its
Rarity,
A few years ago the plain suit for
street wear was tho rulo nnd not the
exception. Serge, tnrcd or broadcloth,
II Whs tho cut and the fit that pioved
Ulo tnllor's cotrcllelice.
lhit now we have changed all that.
It Is not often that two suits nre seen
that aro cut after the some pnttern, and
a Raiment that fitted tho flgurc woutd
be archaic, nt least as far as the waist
Is concerned.
It Is possible that tho new materials
arc partly responsible for the elaborate
costumes that aro now In vogue. Not
only nro the colors much moie beautiful,
but tho weave and tho texture nro vastly
I in proved.
Perhaps It Is the quality of tho cloth,
the softness and the pliability that tempt
tho designers to exercise not only their
skill but also their Imagination.
It must bo n delight to handle tho ma
terials and to Mud tl'at they fnll Into
folds and draperies almost of their own
volition. It does seem like a wasted op-im-tuttlty
to cut 11 perfectly plain Hkht
and coat out of such .1 material as duve
tyno or of velours.
Tho rarity of tho very simple frock
gives It tho chnim of distinction. There
nre many women to whom plnln clothes
aro Infinitely more becoming than thoso
of elaborate cut or trimming. If thoy
nre wise they never loso sight of this
fact nnd keep within th law of the sil
houette of tho moment without depart
ing from their own fixed principles of
dress.
Tho little frock sketched today will
mnko Itn appeal to nil those who aro n.
llttlo wearied of tho fanciful nnd tho
ornnto. And, although elaborate nnd In
many Instances extremely artistic clothes
aro tho rule. It docs not follow that tho
plain suit, or the plain frock laclB tho
cachet of stylo. The models come from
tho great houses, perhaps tossed off In n
moment of relaxation by tho famous
modistes.
Velveteen Is suggested for the frock
Illustrated. It would make a deml-sea-
son toilette sultnble for street wear be
fore really cold weather makes a coat
necessary.
Tho fur banding of tho collnr, cuffs
and hem of tho skirt Is tho most at
tractive trimming and the most modish
that exists at the present mo-.ient. Pelts
aro treated so scientifically that tho In
expensive furs do not have a cheap look,
and certain kinds of skunk and the
short-haired black furs are within al
most any one's reach.
A pretty touch Is given to tho dress by
the white collnr. It Is made of corded
silk, ond looks extremely well outlined,
ns It Is here, by tho narrow fur trim
ming. Tho sheer white collar Is replaced with
growing frequency by tho collnr of whlto
silk or satin. The trend of fashion has
set In this direction, and tho silk collar
has many points In Its favor, bcsldos nov
elty, for winter wear. One, beyond dls- ;

One of tho most beautiful new ar

After Investigation she finds It can come

And therein lies tho secret. The electrlo

Women Aviators of England
The number of women aviators Is strik

The Explanation
The palm for bievlty In speech should
be awarded, according to a contemporary,
to a marine who testified about the ex

explosion that had sent him to the hos

"Pleaso give your version of the ex

"Well," he said, "I was standing be

"GOOD MIXERS"
As Necessary in Ihc Kitchen as the Parlor
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author The New Housekeeping.
It seems almost nn anomaly that Just
as manufacturers nre perfecting labor
savers to eliminate tho heaviest house
hold drudgery this same task Is being
entirely given over to commercial special
lets. ' For Instance, tho bread-mixer ap
peared Just at the era when tnoro families
than ever before wcro taking advantage
of the commcrclnl bakery. In splto of
this tho bread-tnlxcr remains nt tho very
top of the housewife's list of labor savers
If she lives In a small town or bakes any
amount of bread herself.
How tedious nnd sometimes unpleas
ant Is the long task of mixing bread by
hand, simply because tho human hand
and nrm are not as perfect a lever nnd
pnddlo as are thoso of Ironl Whllo
many housowlvrs mnko tho most per
fect bread with their hands nlcne, ihero
Is every reason to cncouiago the uso
of mechanical mixers, especially when
moro than two or three loaves nro
needod. Several kinds of mixers nro
on tho market, all resembling one nn
othcr In consisting of n'pall with a re
volving beater which, when rotntol by
a handle, stirs or mixes tho bread dough
until It reaches the proper consistency.
One of the newest mixers has tho linn

While beating up a cake by hand does
not seem a difficult task, when wo con

of energy It takes to successfully beat

Wonders of Massage
The art of massage Is healing as well
as beautifying. It does not require a
professional's experience to learn the ele
ments of massage. A few hints will be
of value to any one.
First, put your patient In an easy, nat
ural position. Sit on a chair which raises
you above the level of the patient' and
allows perfect freedom for your arms and
fingers.
Lightly grease the parts you Intend to
rub. If this Is overlooked a red, rough
skin will result Use almond oil on tho
body and a good cold cream on the face.
Make all movements upward. For in
stance, rub the spine from the base to
the neck.
Work your fingers as If you were work.
Ing dough. Plain rubbing means friction
pf the skin, which Is useles?. Knead
slowly and deeply, making your Angers
sink right down to the muscles. If your
movements are good and firm, no fatigue
should result.
An excellent movement for headache and
scalp treatment Is as follows:
Hold the head firmly on either side.
Just below the ears; raise the scalp gently
as far as It will come without hurting

11 wetl-mnde stone Jug with a beater
fitting Into It In this way the contents
can bo wrlpped or beaten and then poured
directly from tho spout, which Is sof
much more convenient than taking up tho
batter In tablespoons only. It Is par
ticularly good for wnfiles and all grlddl
mixtures.
Whllo the beating of mayonnaise seems
also a small mntter, In many homes It
Is a frequent task. Gone nro tho good
old days of soup plnlo and silver fork.
The mechanical mnjonn.also mixer has
Jnken Its place. One such consists of a
small bowl nnd a separate dasher or
boater which can bo fastened with a
clomp to a support, such as tnblo or
ledge. In this way very slight pressure;
on tho crank turns the mixer, which thuf
prepares mayonnaise In a much shortci
tlmo than tho old-fashioned hand way.
Every ono knows how mussy It Is ta
whip cream In tho ordinary opon bowlv
A -"new eggbenter combination Is seem
which overcomes this difficulty. This If
a glass bowl with a tightly fitting glas'
lid. Into this Is fitted an eggboater s J
liar to tho Dover. Cream, eggs or othi '
liquid can bo whipped In this covered,
bowl without danger of tho contents
sputtering or splashing nbout.

tureB nnd boaters, of course, are opcrat'
by power. It Is qulto wonderful to wat
a hotel mayonnaise mixer and to see t
