10 \fr2o(Y)en T^Unrei^s Little Mary's Essays-Wives By DOROTHY 1)1 X ■ Wives Is what men get wlsht on them when they get married. So me times the men looks like my cat di d when he et my can ary, but mostly ho looks like he Just wisht ho knew who done it to him. A man speaks nice and polite to a lady, and he takes her arm and helps her across the street but he snaps up a wife when she .speaks to him, and when they walk on the streets together she tags along behind him. A man calls a young lady "angel face" and "sweetheart" before they are married, but a man calls his wife "say." Also a man kisses a young lady's mouth when he tells her good by before they are married, but when" he says ,good-by to his wife he pecks at her back hair. I know that this is true, because I watched my Aunt Susie and her beau, and my mamma and my papa. A wife is one of the most useful of all of our domestic animals. She cooks, and sews, and minds the baby, e-nd does the shopping and the mar keting. and entertains the company, hut she does not have to be paid any money like a cook, or a housemaid, or a nurse. Women who nre not wives have to "work for a living. < »h. how thankful a wife should be that she does not have to work! A wife is also useful to lay things on. That Is why men got them.

There is a First Wife, who works, and Inches, and pinches, and scrlnches to help her husband get on, and who never has any nice clothes, and who rides on the street cars; and there's the Second Wife, who has dia monds, and Paris dresses, and a limou sine that the Rood First Wife saved up to buy for her. And there's Thin Wives and Fat Wives, but I guess wives is like au tomobiles. Every time you get a new one you try a new make. Wives have many curious peculiari ties. One of them Is that they have got noses that can smell things as far as a hound dog. When my papa has had a drink my mamma can smell It before he gets within a block of the house. Also wives Is like cats, and they never sleep, and no matter how easy you tiptoe in, you always wake them up. Wives is very noble creatures, and they feel It their sncred duty to tell their husbands about their faults. Men would not know how many faults they have and what poor, miserable worms of the dust they are if they did not have wives. Wives save their husbands a great deal of trouble by spending their money for them. A man who has a wife never hits to worry about the danger of banks breaking. When a man's wife dies he has no body to quarrel with, and this makes him so lonesome that he runs right off and gets married again. This is all I know at present about wives. THE CAPE TAKES AN IM PORTANT PLACE IN THE AUTUMN WARDROBE A Smart Wrap, Easy to Adjust, with Graceful Lines and Folds. By MAY~MANTON 8391 Douhlc Cape, One Size. Never was a more graceful garment Worn than the cape wnen cut on good lines. This one is both practical and beautiful. When made double and in full length, it mean* generous wramth, when made shorter and without the over cape, it is a lighter wrap, adapted to milder weather but, In both instances, it is attractive and satisfactory. The band which finishes the neck and is extended to pass around the figure holds the gar ment perfectly In place. In the illustra tion, an exceedingly handsome double faced cloth is shown but wo make the cape of today of almost every fashionable material, of sturdy cheviot and Scotch frieze for hard use and of soft silks and satins for afternoon and evening wear. Black charmeuie satin with lining of white Is a favorite combination and a handsome one, or black velvet treated in the same way for colder weather. In addition to all other advantages, the cape is always a simple garment to make. Tho long double cape will require yds. of material 27, yds. 44, 3% yds. 50 in. wide; the short, single cape 4 yds. 27, 2 yds. 44, 1 "j/i yds. 50 in. wide. The pattern 8391 is cut in one size.

[Continued.] Her point won \. „u surprising ease, when she had feared that military form and law oould not be circum vented, ehe leaned against the wall in reaction. For twenty-four hours she had been without sleep. The In terest of her appeal for Feller had kept up her strength after the excite ment of the light for the redoubt was over. Now there seemed nothing: left to do. "That's fine of you, Lanny!" she said. "You've taken it like a good stole, this loss of your thousandth chance. You really believed in It, didn't you?" "Forgotten already, like the many other thousandth chancee that have failed," he replied cheerfully. "One of the virtues pf Partow's steel au tomatons is that, being tearless as well as passionless, they never cry over spilt milk. And now," he went on soberly, "we must be saying good by." "Good-by, Lanny? Why, what do you mean?" She was startled. "Till the war is over," he said, "and longer than that, perhaps, if La Tir remains In Gray territory." "You speak as if you thought you were going to lose!" "Not while many of our eoldlers are alive, if they continue to show the spirit that they have shown so far; not unless two men can crush one man in the automatic-gun-recoil age. But La Tir is in a tangent and already in the Grays' possession, while we act on the defensive. So I should hardly be flying over your garden again." "But there's the telephone, Lanny, and here we are talking over it this very minute!" she expostulated. "You must remove it," he said. "If the Grays should discover it they might form a suspicion that would put you in an unpleasant position." The telephone had become almost a familiar inetitutlon in her thoughts. Its secret had something of the fasci nation for her of magic. "Nonsense!" she exclaimed. ''l am going to be very lonely. I want to learn how Feller is doing—l want to chat with you. So I decide not to let It be taken out. And, you see, I have the tactical situation, as you soldiers call it, all In my favor. The work of removal must be done at my end of the line. You're quite helpless to enforce your wishes. And, Lanny, If I ring the bell you'll answer, won't you ?" "I couldn't help it!" he replied. "Until then! You've been fine about everything today!" "Until then!" When Marta left the tower6heknew only that she was weary with the mind-weariness, the body-weariness, the nerve-wnariness pf a spectator who haa shared the emotion of every actor in a drama of death and finds the ex citement that has kept her tense no longer a sustaining force. As she went along the path, steps uncertain from sheer fatigue, her sen sibilities livened again at the sight of a picture. War, personal war, in tho form of the giant Stransky, was knock ing at the kitchen door. His two-days old beard was matted with dust and there were dried red spatters on his cheek. War's furnace flames seemed to have tanned him; war seemed to be breathing from his deep chest; his big nose was war's promontory. But the unexposed space of his forehead seemed singularly white when he took off his cap as Minna came in answer to his knock. Her yielding lips were parted, her eyes were bright with in quiry and suspicion, her chin was firmly set. "I came to see If you would let me kiss your hand again," said Stransky, squinting through his brows wistfully. "I sue your nose has been broken once. You don't want it broken a sec ond time. I'm stronger than you think!" Minna retorted, and held out her hand carelessly as if It pleased her to humor him. He was rather graceful, despite his size, as he touched his lips to her fin gers. Just as he raised his head a burst of cheering rose from the yard. "So you've found that we have gone, you brilliant intellects!" he shouted, and glared at the wall of the house in the direction of the cheers. "Quick! You have no time to lose!" Minna warned him. "Quick! quick!" cried Marta. Stransky paid no attention to the i urgings. He had something more to i say to Minna. "I'm going to keop thinking of you and seeing your face—the face of a good woman—while 1 fight. And when the war Is over, may I come to call?" he asked. His feet were so resolutely planted on the flags that apparently the only way to move them was to consent. "Yes, yes!" said Minna. "Now, hurry!" "Say, but you make me happy! Watch me poke it into the Grays for you!" he cried and bolted. Within the kitchen Mrs. Galland was already slumbering soundly in her chair. Overhead Marta heard the exclamations of male voices and the tread of what was literally the heel of the conqueror—guests that had come without asking! Intruders that had entered without any process of law! Would they overrun the house, her mother's room, her own room? Indignation brought fresh strength as she started up the stairs. The head of the flight gave on to a dark part of the hall. There she paused, held by the scene that a score or more Gray soldiers, who had riotously crowded into the dining-room, were enacting. They were members of Fracasae's company of the Grays whom Marta had seen from her win- night before rushing across the road into the „wden. When, finally, they burst Into the redoubt after it was found that the Browne had gone, all, even the judge's son, were the war demon's own. The veneer had been warped and twisted and burned oft down to the raw ani mal flesh. Their brains had the fever Itch of callouses forming. Not a sign of brown there in the yard; not a sign of any tribute after all they had en dured! They had not been able to lay hands on the murderous throwers of hand-grenades. Far away now was barrack-room geniality; in oblivion were the ethics of an inherited civili zation taught by mothers, teachers and church. But here was a house —a houee of the Browns; a big, fine house! They would see what they had won--thiß was the privilege of baffled victory. What they had won was theirs! To the victor the spoils! Pell-mell they crowded into the dining-room, Hugo with the rest, feeling himself a straw on the crest of a wave, and Pilzer, most bitter, most ugly of all, his short, etrong teeth and gums showing and his liver patch red. lumpy, and trem bling. In crossing the threshold of privacy they committed the act that leaves the deepest wound of war's in heritance, to go on from generation to generation in the history of fami lies. "A swell dining-room! I like the chandeliers!" roared Pilzer. With his bayonet he smashed the only globe left intact by the shell Are. There was a laugh as a shower of glass fell on the floor. Even the Judge's son, the son of the tribune of law, joined in. Pilzer then ripped up the leather seat of a chair. This in troductory havoc whetted his appetite for other worlds of conquest, as the self-chosen leader of the increasing crowd that poured through the door way. "Maybe there's food!" he shouted. "Maybe there's wine!" "Food and wine!" "Yes, wine! We're thirsty!" "And maybe women! I'd like to kiss a pretty maid servant!" Pilzer added, starting toward the hall. "Stop!" cried Hugo, forcing his way in front of Pilzer. He was like no one of the Hugos of the many parte that his comrades had seen him play. His blue eyes had be come an Inflexible gray. He was stand ing half on tiptoe, his quivering muscles in tune with the quivering pitch of his voice: "We have no right in here! This 1b a private house!" "Out of the Way, you white-livered little rat!" cried Pilzer, "or I'll prick the tummy of mamma's darling!" What happened t!:"n was so sudden and unexpected (Jial ell were vague about details. They saw Hugo in a catapultlc lunge, mesmeric in ite swift ness, and they paw Pilzer go down, his leg twisted under him and his head banging the floor. Hugo stood, half ashamed, half frightened, yet ready for another encounter. Fracasse, entering at this moment, was too intent on his mission to con -1 sider the rights of a personal differ ence between two of his company. "There's work to do! Out of here, quick! We are Aos'.ng valuable time!" he announced, rounding his men to ward the door with commanding ges tures. "We are going in pursuit!" Marta, who had observed the latter part of the scene from the shadows of the hall, knew that siie should never forget Hugo's face as he turned on Pil zer, while his voice of protest struck a singing chord in her jangling nerves. It was the voice of civilization, of one who could think out of the orWt of a whirlpool of |)nsririv:.to barbarisrt' She could see that he w 1 nbout spring and her prayer v leap.

"No Alum" must be the watchword when the housewife buys baking powder. Alum is well known to be a powerful astringent, and should never be used in food. Prof Geo. F. Barker, M.

CHITS EVES NEED GREAT CURE Commissioner Dixon Calls Atten tion to the Necessity of Commonsense, Too Dr. Samuel G. Dixon. State Com missioner of Health, has called atten tion of parents and teachers to the grave importance of attending to the eyes of children. The commissioner says that more persons go through life with their eyes strained as the result of lack of eare in childhood than in any other way. Speaking on the subject he said: "In all of our schools there are children who, to use the small hoy's expression, are 'blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.' Unfortu nately, often the children themselves are hot aware of it nor are their parents and teachers. "Near-sighted children struggle to see the blackboard from'their benches in' the rear of the schoolroom and far-sighted children in the front rows endeavor in vain to get distinctly the image on the board immediately lie fore them. "Children with an astigmatism in one or both eyes are made unaccount ably nervous and irritable by the con stant demands upon their Imperfect vision. Persistent headaches are often caused by such imperfections. "Of three hundred thousand chil dren inspected in the rural schools of Pennsylvania over 82.000 were found to have defects of sight which no effort had been made to correct. Nothing is more irritating or trying to the nerves than the continual strain resulting from the effort to see through imperfect eyes. To the grow ing child, whose brain is endeavor ing to grasp new facts and solve new problems, it is oftentimes an insur mountable barrier. There are hun dreds of 'dull' children who could be cured by properly fitted glasses. Un fortunately, many parents hesitate to "•! small children wear glasses on nits of appearances or for other I. foolish reasons. They fail to that often the wearing of for a few years Is sufficient to visual error which if left d ''or would continue for a llfe clnu " Pittsburgh Men Buy Manganese Iron Mine Pittsburgh, Sept. 30.

There is in cir- I culation in Berlin a copy of the In- i ternatlona! Monatschrift, in which j there appears an article concerning Emperor William from the pen of ! Houston Stewart Chamberlain, an j English author, who has lived in Gcr- • many and Austria since 1885. Mr. Chamberlain says that he has! often met Emperor William without i ceremony. He declares that his Ma- j .iesty's guiding principles are a deep | feeling of responsibility before God and a determination to preserve peace j for Germany. The highest desire of: Emperor William, Mr. Chamberlain writes, was to be able to stay on his! deathbed: '"I have preserved peace | for my country. History will call me the peace emperor."
