Bill was challenged again near the door of the Captain's suite. which was close to the bridge —- companiou. but was permitted to pass on making his identity known. Captain Bracken and his friend Withers, the fint-officer. were in the COl11lI'1tll(l0I"S sitting-room as the American entered.

Oh, there you are, Madison. greeted Bracken Help yourself to a whisky. I've decided, the Com- mander continued in slow. measur- ed toms. to take every precaution for the protection of the vi‘al parts of the ship -that is, where such arrangements are not calculated to upset the calm of the pansengers.

A Paton the Back, a Word of Appfieciatiflfl and a Separate Pocketbook for the Little Woman” Will Work Wonders in Many Households

Perhaps the greatest mistake that husbands and wives make in deal- ing with each other ls in thinking that because mm and women are of different sexes they think and feel differently to the little commonplace, everyday problems of life.

Unfortunately, this belief ha; been I05- lcred by the traditional conception 0f man as a big. strong, self-sufficient. being whose mighty intellect lifted him ab0ve_ all the petty weaknesses of humanity; Woman was pointed a5 a beautiful, frail creature, with more heart than brains, whose sole desire was to attach herself to some man and have him make u pet. of her, feed her on cream and tie a blue ribbon around her neck.

It is because they act. upon the mistaken theory that their husbands and wives don't- look at. things from their point of view and

\ _ don't want what they want. that, causes so

~ many married couples to be forever at cross purposes with each other and inflict unintentional cruelties upon each other.

It is. for instance. because men are sold to the belief that women do not feel as they do about financial independence that. causes so many hus- bands to refuse to give their wives an allowance and make them come like beggars to them for every cent. The husband isn't. stingy. His wife has un account at all the best stores. But. he never gives her my money that is her very own and that she can spend without telling what she did with it.

The very men who do this know that their wives earn the salary of two or three servants by the work they do in the home. They know that they themselves could not. endure the peonnge of working for any em- {ployer for Just. their board and kcep. They know that they would feel |degraded if they had to go to even the most generous father and ask for ‘carfare or the price of u new pair of shoes, yet they put. this injustice and this humiliation on their wives because they think that there is some pec- uliarity about the feminine temperament that makes a wife art-joy rattling a tin cup before her husband and asking him to please be so good and generous as to give her a little o." the money for which she has worked.

.- Men know. to cite mother common illustration, that nothing stimu- ‘htm their ambition and makes them put all that is in them into their jobs like a little appreciation, u few words of praise. On the contrary, nothing breaks clown a. man’ smorale and makes him ask "What's the use" and turn slacker like having his good work passed over in silence or re- warded with some criticism.

Yet. there are thousands upon thousands of husbands to whom it up- pu-ecitly never occurs that. their wives need u few rounds of applause now and than to hearfcn them up and spur them on. They take all that their wives do for them for granted. They eat a. hundred good dinners without a comment ,but raise ructlons if on the hundred and first there is a little too much salt in the soup.

Every mun known that utter s hurd day's work he mud: change and diversion. to lot uvny from hi: workshop and see and do something d1!- ferent that will pqa him up and make him forgot. his worries. So well is this recognized that a whole cycle of lmusements have been devised for the Tired Business Man. But when Friend Wife complains of the mon- pbmiy of housework and aye that. lho feels that if she can't. get. out of the house and away from the children for an hour or so she will scream. it is another awry.

Her husband is shocked and thinks there is somelhing unnatural about her. Sunday afternoon with the little darling give him an acute attack of nervous prostrwtion. but. he ca-nff. see why any woman would want any amusement. gayer than fixing the baby's bottle and pulling Johnny out o! Susie's hair and answering the eternal cry of M-o-t-h-e-r!

Strangest of all la the way men look on philamdering. ‘rhey can't. forgive it in their wives and they can't. nee why ther wives should mike any pother about it. when they sidestep. Their hearts ure broken when the wives they tnisted betray them. Their souls are seared with Jealousy over the Other Man. They sound the depths of humiliation when their names are dragged in the mud and people pity them. But they think it in just silly for a woman not to be oh"- f0 take her husband's affairs as lightly u he does, and keep on "ovin book when he gets loo old to '1 Illfl If

“"1" any longer. Funny, DORUn-Ill DIX.

SERVICE

We owe other .. People service. Service goes with loving. Wecan- not love truly and not serve. Love without serving is but an empty sentiment.....The needs of other people are therefore divine com- mands to us, which we rim-anal, disregard or disobey.

TRUE HAPPINESS "l

True happiness is to be free from fear; to understand our duties toward God and man; to enjoy the present without any anxious dependence upon the fut- ure; not to torment ourselves either with hopes or fears; but to rest satisfied wit-h what we have which is abundantly sufficient. for he that is so. wants nothing.

, -—Seneca.

POPULARITY

The secret of popularity is t0 make everybody you meet feel that you are especially interested in him. If you really feel kindly toward others, 1f you sincerely wlsh to please. you will have no difficulty in doing s0. But if you are oolddndiffeient, retiring, silent. selfish; if you are all wrapped up 1n yourself and think only of what. may advance your own‘ interests or increase your own comfort, you never can become popular.

—O. B. M.

INDUSTRTY

As steady qmllioation to work is the healthiest training for every individual so is it the best dis- cipline of a state. Honorable in- dustry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty and progress is altogether impotsibie without it..—S. smiles.

HOW TO LAUNDER PATCH- WORK QUILTS

Patchwork quilts can be laundered mocessifuliy with worm water and plenty of soap suds. If the water b hard, use a softener, but be sure the softener and the soap are thorough- ly dissolved before putting 1n the quilt. Allow tihe quilt to soak for ‘about. five minutes. then work the suds well through all parts. Do not rub on a board. 1f the edges are extra soiled, rub with soap and scrub with a small brush. Three or (our rinsings in clear water should be niftielent. Do not wring. Press 111w water mit between the hands 01- by pressing the quilt hard against the side of the tub. Stretch into shape on the line. I1 the
