Wifely Opinions on Husbands
T"OES It really do to take a wife'
U opinion nbodt her husband?" was
a question recently naked, yet without
Awakening ma,ny conclusive or definite
replies, Contributions on the subject were
decidedly diverse, the majority holding
that the wife was really the tnost rellnblo
person In whom to trust or delineation
Of husbandly characteristics, nnd, of
course, hUbbandly fallings.
One somewhat cynical writer, however,
took the opposite point of view. "A
wife's opinion," she declares, "must neces
sarily be prejudiced. No woman can ever
live lth n man for nny length of time
and yet continue to hold a good opinion
of him. Just as no man la a hero to his
valet, so no husband Is a glorified being
tp his Wife. Mntrlmony kills the germ or
amiability In a man and acts as a perfect
kind of Inoculation against every form
Of caress. Any husband, however bad a
match ho may be, can be guaranteed to
flare up at the slightest opportunity.
There Isn't a hero, dead or alive, who
ever felt It Incumbent upon him to bo
civil to his wife!
... ,
"A man may bo awfully' fond of his
wife, mind ou-he probably Is deadly
of raid of he.r and jet for the life of him
ho Can't help bulbing her about the
bacon, or his boots, or his bank balance
"Why' can't a husband remain a lover,
that's what I want to know? It ought
to be much easier now that he's got the
whftle house to make love In without any
Inconvenient Interference. Why can't ho
say nice things about his wife's eyes, In
stead of nasty ones aboutiher seeing too
much; or pralso the size of her mouth
without any ulterior observations about
the length of her tongue?"
...
Why not. Indeed7 I am very much In
clined to dispute the entire truth of the
foregoing too analytical remarks. There
are a few husbands, after all, who do
remain lovers', although assuredly some
of them have" a' curjous way of showing
that selfsame affection.
The British husband, for Instance, has
a strong dislike of any public demonstra
tions In the matter of matrimonial re
gard! He may be utterly devoted to his
CHILDREN'S CORNER
A Shadow-Land
ONE bright sprjng day, Ned couldn't
go to school with the other children,
he cquld not even sit up, ho was so Blckl
All (ho whole long sunshiny day he had
to stay In his bed-whlch is stupid busi
ness you know, If you have ever tried it.
By the next day he waB much better,
but still unable tu go to school, When
the evening of the second day came, he
was well enough to want something In
teresting to do every minute and he had
used up every suggestion his mother had
made.
Finally bedtime came and mother said
good night all around. "But. mother."
objected Ned, "I've been In the house all
day. and lying down a lot of the time,
I Just know I can't go to sleep yet! May
stay up a little longer?"
"Not a minute longer!" said mother
pleasantly, "boys who have been sick
need rest, so bedtime mustn't be neglec
ted I"
''But I know I'll Just lie awake and
. lie awake," grumbled Ned, but he started
for the stairs Just the same.
"If you like, Ned," said his sister Em
ma, "I'll tell you a game I used to play
with myself when I had to stay In bed
so long with my hurt ankle. It's lota of
fun."
"Oh, I don't care for any girls' 'game!"
replied Ned testily. But Emma took no
notice of the testlness; she only said kind-,
ly: "This Isn't a girl's game, Ned, this Is
a. circus,"
"Circus!" scoffed Ned In. real brother
fashion. "Who could play circus In bed I
Xou have to run and Jump and rowdy
ta play circus! Guess I ought to know;
I've, played It enough times."
Emma laughed, "That may be true ot
your kind of circus, hut it Is not true
of, mine. You HAVE to be fn bed to play
mine) I know, for I have played It many
anight,"
"Ail right. let's try It," said Ned, In
terested Uv spite of himself. So the chil
dren got permission from mother to go
Int'tf .Ned's, room for ten minutes while he
jf,, should be Instructed In the new game;
they even persuaded mother to come
along and be timekeeper and watch the
fun. rJ

MATRIMONIAL
MANNNERS
By Ellen Adair
wife, but his temperament Is such that he
doesn't want other people to guess the
real slato of his feelings. Hence he Is
often unnecessarily brusque and off-hand
In his manner toward her. You simply
can't get him to go In for little public
demonstrations of affection.
...
Therefore, ho Is often a much-maligned
man, not by his wife, but by Interested
spectators. "Mr. Jones doesn't care n
bit for his wife," people will say. "He
Is so casual In his manner toward herl"
Hut Interested spectators are frequently
very wide of the mark In their final
summing-up. For an Inside view Is the
only thing that counts In the matter of
opinions. And the wife Is really the
only person who can speak with author
ity on any such subject ns her husband
nnd his particular disposition.
One meets many charming cultured,
Interesting men. who appenr the em
bodiment of liUBbandly virtues. But to
listen to their wives! "You should JuBt
see him at home," they remark with
bated breath!
When I hear talk of that sort, I wonder
Just whoso fault It Is, the husband's or
the wife's? What nre the wives like
In their prlvato attltudo toward their
husbands? And Isn't the game scry much
In their own hands, after all? The attl
tudo of the husband too often reflects tho
unfortunate attitude of his wife.
The Sleeping Singer
Love In her heart and song upon her lip,
A daughter, friend and wife,
Sho lived a beauteous life.
And lovo and son shall bless her In her

The flowers, whose language she Inter
preted, The dellcato airs, calm seas and starry
skies
That touched so sweetly her chaste sym
pathies, And all tho grieving souls she comforted
Will bathe In separate sorrows tho dear
mound
Where heart and harp He silent and pro
found, Oh, womnn, nil tho songs thou left to us
We will preserve for thee In grateful love;
Glvo thou return of our affection thus,
And keep for us the songs thou slng'st

of the room and see where you can mako
the best shadows."
"Make the shadows'" exclaimed Ned,
"what shall I make them from?"
"From "the night light," replied Emma,
pointing to where It stood on the littio
tahle by tho bed
"All right," said Ned. looking round the
room, "I think that wall over there Is
the best,"
The shadows of your raised knees make
the big tents.
"Then It Is our circus ground," said
Emma, "and now we will make the pa
rade." She pointed to the wall. "See
how the shadows of your raised knees
make the big tents? Now see how many
kinds of animals you can make with your
lingers,"
Hy that time, mother, Mary Jane and
Jack were all as Interested as Ned, and
they all set to work to make shadows.
By curling and twisting their Angers, by
moving their hands In different ways,
they made animals of all shapes and
sizes, and they found It a lot of fun.
After the parade, Ned pulled down the
tents and had a real performance, which
was so Interesting that mother forgot all
about bedtime,. Finally father called up
the stairs, "Do .you know it's way past
8?" and tle circus was packed up Jn a
hurry and took the train for dreamland!

The Desertion of Daffodil
Maid
On the subject of how he had been In

been for the nggressiv. solemnity of the
Vestry Walls, and tho engrossing task of

nnd the breath-balding moment of the

It wns the violent beginning of n tem

The first usher prodded him Into con

Once outside, Harrington come again
Into his sclf-efTlc!oncv As the prcnnrl
carriage came up tho yellow confection
was hustled Into It, the door slammed
upon tho astonished girl, a peremptory
"drive on" Issued, and a hatless young
man dashed breathlessly around the cor
ner to the organ entrance, Just In timet
In another vehicle the nuburn head was
bolng extinguished.
"Why, Joe Hnrrlngton ! What's wrong?"
The bride's brother was a clear-headed
master ot ceremonies. "You belong with
ClarlsRa. you know."
"Yei, I know. Some mistake. Every
body excited, of course. Say, Dickie, I
can go In hero Just as well Don't worry,
old man! I don't mind In the least."
"All serene! Here, Ethel, you can

Dickie flow off to see thnt such "mi -lessness
as the best man's being stranded"
was not repeated.
"Ethel," mused Harrington as the
rubber wheels started, leaning forwnitl
and devouring her with his cjes. "Ethel!
It suits so admirably I might almost have
known. Madeleine only told me Mls
Harman " I
ino red-brown eyes met his Bquarely.
"Joe." she said meditatively.
"Yes. I like It. Sho only told me, Mr.
Harrington."
"You came ?"
"Only this afternoon."
"Why have you never come before?"
"I didn't know there was anything to
come for."
As she spoke they flashed under nn nrc
lamp, and, bending eagerly toward her.
he caught tho shine of her eyes. It wns
enough His hands Kropcd nn lnstnnt,
then gathered In her two warm, jlelding
ones
"Oh, girl, girl!" he whispered exultlng
ly "I knew the moment I saw you thnt
you had come for my sake! But how,
how have I lived nil this wIiMa on ,,.,-
found you?"
"I cannot tell, clear, only that now Is
the right time," was the low response.
Holding both her hands, in one of his
own, he slipped to her side nnd tipped
her head back against his shoulder Hla
eyes sought hers In the gloom of the
carriage, glorying In the reflations
brought by the passing lights.
"The right time of all the world, girl
of all the years that have been for you
and for me-tho right time for the seal
of the promise for those that are to como
for us," he said with quiet intensity, his
lips closing on her unresisting ones.
After a moment she straightened her
self with a happy little laugh.
"I think we must be nearly there."
"Yes Wretchedly short drive. Oh,
glrllo, girlie, I am so proud of you, so
glad' What will they think of us, to bo
sure? I wasn't having a bit of a good
time, and now I'm ever so grateful that
Bob Insisted on making mo best man "
"Why. but dear!" It was avertible
gurgle of astonishment. "You're not
dreaming of telling' now? It would never,
never do. We've not even been Intro
duced! I'm to be here several weeks, you
know, and It must come to pass verv
gradually." y
"I suppose so, bless your proper little
heart! But Isn't It a wee bit more un
conventional to have It happen thus than
that It should merely be known of? Any
way I promise to be the most persistently
lovelorn of any swain who ever aspired
to fair lady's hand. Ah! here we are."
Fortunately, the avenue was we)l shad
ed Just before the blaze of light at the
steps was reached.
Dickie greeted them (how he had man
aged to pass them a certain team might
have borne breathless testimony) In an
agony of contrition. His very first blun
der, He supposed, of course, they'd met
Clarissa had come alone Madeleine had
been Investigating and wrenched from"
him the. whole sad tale. Clarissa wouldn't
say a word. They sweetly forgave him
and were smilingly introduced.
During the ensuing hours of the recep
tlon Harrington, Ingenious to the point
of bjuntness, found use for all his skill
as a dissembler. The auburn head was
an irresistible magnet, and his telltale
eyes followed where his feet were for
bidden to tread. Again and again he
dragged himself back to the daffodil maid
and his proper duty, to find her always
mysteriously smiling at him out of a
quizzical face. It was hard that the first
madly happy hours of one's life should
b made to speed so slowly; but at last
the bride and groom were oft In a shower
or rce, kisses and merry cries.
Then quoth the maid -of the daffodils to
Dickie, "Do look at Joe and Ethel !'
There they stood, on the top step hand
In band, placidly and absently waving
after the disappearing carriage with their
disengaged hands. The other two mem
bers were clasped.
It was three. Interminable months before
Harrington was permitted to announce a
farewell dinner to his bachelor "friends.
When he reached the club on the memor
able night, a letter awaited him bearing
the familiar fpreign postmark of Mr. and
Mrs. Blake's honeymooning nest Qver
the signature of Madeleine Blake he read
the following! t

GARDEN HAT
The Garden in Summertime
Hints for the Amateur
THE color-scheme In a garden Is a mat
ter which should receive the most care
ful attention. For, no matter how beau
tiful tho flowers may be, their correct ar
rangement with an eyo to color and ar
tistic effect Is most Important. Reds an!
purples, for Instance, If grouped together
without thought as to effect In shades,
etc., will spoil a garden and give It a
garish look that Is not to be desired.
Another matter which Is frequently
overlooked Is a lack of sufficient greon
in a garden. The natural environment of
n plant Is green, and there is little chance
that the amount of this color bo overdone.
Too many of the public gardens and
parks show a lack of green growing
amidst the brilliance of the flowers. Col
ored bedding plants are crowded together
and stand out harshly. They would look
Infinitely better were they against a soft
background of green but many otherwise
proficient gardeners will not understand
this fact.
Properly separated by green, colors can
be used near each other which would
clash dreadfully were they brought Im
mediately together. Take, for example, a
red bed; .there are tew pure red flowers.
Thp varieties tun from scarlet and crim
son and orange red to the blulph tints of
magenta nnd solferlno It will bo easily
seen, then, then If these are all mixed
heedlessly the effect will be discordant.
But if red is used as the leading note, and
there be plenty of green to separate the
plants, the border may gradually merge
Into yellow reds and purplish reds with
wonderful and satisfying effect.
Some light and airy plants, such as the
garden heliotrope, meadow rue, caraway
and wild carrot, will Improve the scheme.
It must be remembered that. Just as
Romewas not built In a day, neither Is
a successful garden worked up In even
one season! This Is the mistake, which
so many amateurs make. They expect
that the plants will grow with the rapid
ity of the famous fairy-tale beanstalk,
nnd that In one night everything will
show results. The wise gardener must
remember that Infinite patience and con
stant watching and study are necessary
for the cultivation of a fine garden.
As regards the placing of plants, tall
plants should be placed toward the back'
or the bed, while the smaller ones come
forward. Or If a circular arrangement
Is desired, tho tall plants, go In the centre
and the smaller ones are arranged around
In a circle,
The wise gardener Bhould own a note
book and all sorts of notes should be
entered with reference to the plants. For
Instance, while plants are still In bloom,
a note should be entered of any .change
to be made In the fall. Most perennials
are benefited by occasional lifting, though
shrubs are, of course, an exception to this
rule. "
The use of ferns improves the look of
a garden Immensely, An ugly, corner In
a garden can be made to look perfectly
beautiful If a few ferns nre planted
against a background of stones. Small
Blabs of rock, with earth placed In be
tweemand large atones iarranged artisti
cally around will be a fine bed for ferns,
and wll.prese,nt a cool, delightful appear
ance. If there Is by chance any little
pool or stream In your garden, ferns
should be planted nearby.
Many delightful varieties can be ob
tained In the woods and wU transplant
very nicely. If the soil Is rich, ferns will
stand a full sun. Ferns should really be
taken from the woods In early spring,
but .they may be transplanted successfully
In midsummer, It they are carefully
shaded for the first few days and also
well supplied with water. -,
, The hop vine Is another useful plant
which can easily be transplanted and
always looks well. It festoons around
and over wall, trellis or arbor with its
pale green calyxes,
For use In a more severe climate, the
Virginia creeper Is popular, also If the
Situation bappens to be exposed. At
,flrBt U takes a little time to get estab
listed, but once is under way there
is no limit to Its growth. It requires
certain things, such as severe pruning
frL5UtUmn: ?ome aun' ,otl f fwtlllz,
ng and a, certain amount of water. But
It Is so beautiful that It repays one for
arty trouble taken, and It Improves the
appearance of any garden or wall oj
arbor Immensely.
