DOORMAT OR SLAVE DRIVER,
WHICH IS BEST? M'LISS ASKS
It You Have an English Husband He's Likely to
Gall You "Old Dog," but Horrors! an Amer
ican Will Let You Walk on Him
uAVE ?ou a little doormnt In your home?
JlL This. according to the English point of view. Is equivalent to saying! Aro
yotrtttarrleA to the typical Ameilcan man? f
For the typical American husband s a doormat a sort of conjugal Fldo who
.)le4"dowi And lots his pretty American wife trnmp right over him, scraping tho
mud'drf lice dainty feet us she goes.
. These are not my views. Indeed notl For somehow, despite the slings nnd
arrows of ndverso ciitlclsm that nro constantly belnrf hurled at our men by tho
gracious nhd tactful foreign Visitors who come to us, I hnvo an abiding respect
Wr tho kind of qualities the durability and chivalry and generosity that charac
terizes tho typical American husband.
They give all uortu of reason, do these foreigners, for tho superiority of their
own brand of masitllnlty to ours. One Italian writer went so far as to Infer that
did tho American men wear yrccn clastic corsets as do somo gentlemen of Sunny
Italy of her acquaintance, their charm would bo Infinitely enhanced.
A self-rtppolntcd Kngllsh critic now sings a paean of praise to J. Hartley Man
ners, tho playwright, Tor his taste in having ttie American heroine of his play,
Thd Wooing of Eve." "turn away from the too easy predominance assured to her
If she marries her American, nnd embrnco tho less regal but inoro rounded exis
tence that Is open to her as the wife of the Englishman."
Less regal and moro rounded existence! The wife of nn Englishman, it
seems, cannot expect to be a queen, but on tho other hand she Is sure of the "sub
ordination, the discipline of self-sncrluce. nnd n, contentious but full and exciting
companionship," which it Is said will provide for her a founded existence.
Contention, It 1 .sad to observe, docs sometimes manage to creep into even
tho best regulated menage, but I rather Imagine that the American girl docs not
exactly marry for It except, perhaps In tho play.
1 know nn English wife. I have no reason to believe that sho Is not typical.
Certainly her position Is less regal than thnt of the nverngo American wife. Judge
tor yourself of the "rounded existence" thnt she enjoys. x
When her husband Is nt homo she trots around like a little puppy dog doing
things that no A met lam man would permit his wife to do when he Is In the
vicinity. For Instance, the door bell rings, the maid has left for the night. John
Bull does not bestir himself, but says with a latge nnd complacent nlr: "Mary, tho
bell." Mnry trots down. Let thnt door bell ring n dozen times, It never occurs to
the, man that ho might go and answer it.
Alary has Just come upstairs after the sixth trip down. She is a llttlo breath
less and asthmatic. It is true, but tries to hide the fact, so as not to nnnoy her lord
and master with her wheezing.
"Mary, this pipe Is no longor sweet." This is not only tho statement of a
fact; It Is something of a command. Mary registers obedience nnd goes to tho
pipe rack for a sweeter pipe ho telling her from the comfy coign of vnntago
of his armchair which one he desires.
The hour groweth late, the room cold
"Mary, It is chilly."
Prestol Mary, who weighs but 12G pounds, and her husband nigh onto 100,
bouhds down the stairs. Directly pleasant little sounds of raking nnd coal
ncavlng nscend. Mnry, the wcll-dlselpllned spouse that our critic commends,
returns, somewhat disheveled (Indeed, thnt seems to bo her perpetual condition;
and small wonder: ) nnd awaits the next order.
And the crowning Insult of nil Is that If her husband's digestion N good, It
the world has been doing well by him, ho rewards her with a negligent pal on
tlie hand and culls her "old dog." This she regards as ono of the fondest terms
of endearment.
Old (log, she Is. poor thing, tho mother of four ehllilren. tlm mlsti-oss of n
largo household, and ntns, alackadny. tho wife of an English husband. Much-to-be-ent-ied
woman, she of the "full nnd rounded existence."
I'ersonally, I think 1 prefer a doormat. M'LlSS.

GARDENING FROM A WINDOW
Plants to Choose and Their Care
By JOHN BARTRAM
Taking up from Thursday "Unfortun
ftte's," query as to plants that will not only
flourish but give constant bloom in a
northern light, I would suggest first of all
begonias as fulfilling theso requisites.
There nro two kinds, the tuberous rooted
and the fibrous rooted, which require
BQmewhat d'fferent culture and bo should
pot be m'xed The former aro the more
striking In effect and have double flowers,
but will not bloom so freely, though they
are generous with flowers. The latter
bloom continuously from May till frost,
and may be taken Indoors for later winter
blooming.
Both can be grown from the soil up, one
with bulbs and the other with clumps of
roots, but it Is really better to buy estab
lished plants, which are ready at the
seedsmen's by or sometimes before May I.
Tha begun'as will permit a wldo variety
of color. Single flowering tuberous rooted
are listed at 10 to IS cents each in the
named varieties, which insures control of
the color scheme, or they can be bought
for 8 cents each or 75 cents a dozen In
mixed varieties, tho selection left to the
dealer Personally I would buy the named
Varieties selecting a couple of harmonizing
hues. A very good combination would be
the Zeppelin (rermilllon) and the Lafay
ette (brilliant crimson). These special
varieties are a bit dearer, SO cents each,
or $2 per dozen. A dozen would be enough,
planted nine Inches apart In a single row
for two small window boxes. Then for
the background u&e some of the fancy
leaved caladiums which come at 20 cents
each or J! per dozen. Half a dozen of
these would be enough for two windows.
They can be chosen In a wide variety of
foliage, to match the color scheme of the
begonias. The Fred liause or the Itapocu
Would make u Una combination with a
choice of red In the begonias.
In the front of the box could be planted
fuchsias at 11 a dozen or ferns like the
maidenhairs (Adlantums) at Jl 50 a
dozen, or theuo might be used as the
entire combination, omitting the begonias
altogether, though there would not be
so much bloom.
Another suggestion would be to mix
stone nt tha Asi QratfUji Ifalntruiteerfoiitil!
f with ferns. If only a green effect Is sought.
' r Derrle$ set freely un the tips of tha
branches. They cost 35 oenU, each or
li.aq a. dozen. The so-called asparagus
fern, Pliunosus. Nanus, is very effective
with Its misty foliages it costs 15 cents
each or 1 1.50 a dozen. The emerald
feather Is another asparagus fern variety
Sprengerl which Is excellent for window
box use : It has a trailing habit and should
be used on the edge of the box.
- Other slants for trailing over the box
are ymca (arwgated periwinkle) at 12 a
doze a ivy geranium or trailing; fuchsias.
The tuberous rooted begonias require a
Boll that remains motet, but it roust not
b allowed to- become waterlogged. Too
rruch catering make the plants soft and
they break dawn under the burden of
turgeonlotr ' The fibrous-rooted begonias
acquire regular watering, but not soak

Centefleur heliotrope Is a deep violet ; the
Chleftnn lilac, the Mme. do lllonny, white.
Heliotropes and verbenas mix very well
for window box use. If white of both Is
used sweet alyssum may be planted as an
edging with white flowers. It costs In the
dwarf form 75 cents a dozen. If purples,
lilacs or violets are used the Kenllworth
Ivy (Llnarla Cymbalarla), with Its trailing
habit and las-fender and purple flowers,
makes a charming border. Tho price Is
10 cents each or 1 a dozen.
I'etunlas and sweet alyssum may be

HOW TO SNEEZE, COUGH AND SAVE
ANNOYANCE TO PERSONS NEAR YOU
By WILIJAiM
NOWADAYS tho doctor has to teach
people how to stand, sit, lircathe. eat,
brush the teeth, dress, wot Is and play.
Wo havo offered suggestions about all of
these things In this department. Now lot
us explain how one should sneeze, blow
the noso and cough.
A good, hearty sneeze Is an excellent
thing for the health. It is nature's own
autldoto or prophylactic against coryza
nnd various other infections gaining en
trance through tho nasal mucous mem
brane. To suppress a micczo, for a llttlo
whllo, ns pending the conclusion of thu
sermon (preachers generally aro brief
nowadays), you make gcntlo pressure
upon the upper lip upward against tho
base of tho noso with tho edge of tho
index linger. Hut to muzzle n sneeze
which is bound to come, and for tho sake
of your health should come, you simply
hold your handkerchief over your nose,
thus molding the hprnylng of the atmos
phero with infectious droplets nnd perhaps
saving your neighbor from catching your
"cold." If you fall in this duty you deservo
punishment qulto ns niuch us tho Impos
sible person who spits on the lloor.
Most peoplo Injure theribelren In blow
ing the nose. The wrong way to do this
Is by grasping the proboscis ilrmly be
tween the lingers and blowing for nil tho
world ns though the intention were, to
balloon the lungs and burst the ear-drums.
The right way Is by closing only one nos
tril at a time by pressure mid then blow
ing the other. This obviates the risk of
forcing Infectious secretions up into the
Kustachian tube and perhaps setting up
earache and InMamiuatlou of tho middle
ear. Also It gles a more effectual clear
ing of the nasal passage Also it causes
no at normal congestion.
Troublesome cough often persists long
after tho original irritation or cause has
(spider wort) atl5 cents each or $1 a dozen,
make a good edging. Ageratum Is a varia
tion of blue flower that may be planted
with lobelia, (la doien. Abutllon, ut the
same price. Is a good choke if yellow Is
the motif of the color scheme. It goes well
with trailing nasturtium.
Occasionally uso a little manure water
made by making a very pale tolutiun of
sheep manure in water or by using one
of the patented plant foods which come at
about a quarter a package Once a fort
plants or is veering around to them, as
this will burn the foliage and create gen
eral havoc.
After the cummer blooming Is over
and all the plants have been mentioned
for constant blooming habit the boxes
may be filled for the winter with some of
the llttlo evergreen trees which are so at
tractive. When the plants begin to peak
and pine In midsummer, tn order to stim
ulate fresh bloom, It Is wise to give
them an occasional dressing of a solution
of nitrate of soda, one ounce to a square
yard of burface, dissolved In a quart
of water. Pour this gently upon tho soil
aad do not let it come In contact with
the roots or foliage.

I I'loyte. of tho Wisconsin State Snnltar-
I lurn. the following plan Is excellent for
' ono forced to yield to the desire to cough:
Fold the handkerchief Into a live-Inch
' squnro pad. Hold It over the mouth
I tightly, not loo.sely. Then cough. The
noise is muffled by the handkerchief. With
i practice you can learn to cough almost
silently -a very duslrablo accomplishment,
too, whuti the sermon Is tiresome and iong

1 zles tho cough nnd makes you n compar

Ono woman does away with this calam

entertains, or even when she goes to a
dinner party or luncheon outside of her
home, sho makes a mental Invntoiv ff
tho menu. This sho enters In a llttlo book
she keeps for tho purpose, with the date,
the number of gueKts, nnd tho cost, If shr
happens to know It.
Whenever Mto sees a good reclpo In tlm
papers or In some cookbook, sho cuts It
out and pastes It In tho back of the hook
Oddments In cable decoration, color
scheme favors, salads, and anything .if
this sort nre also noted. In this way she
has a wealth of suggestions always at
hand, besides widening her knowledge of
nrtlstlc table decoration, palatable cook
ery and the art of bulng a real hostess.
In another part of this book one may
see the names of her intimate friends, nnd.
opposite the nnmo, their particular likes
and dislikes. In this way thero Is no em
barrassment In serving meals. Kach one
has some little pet dollcai-y, nnd this is
noted down. The Idea is a good ono and
open to many Interesting variations.
