"D
O I get my own way?" the young
I iLr married woman asked the
i pseudo-palmist who wu presiding at a
i charity bazaar.
I; The pretended palmist gazed at the
: soft white hand.
, ; "No," she said, "you don't."
"Well, I just do." assented the other
i :decisively. "I just don't let up till
' John gives in to me." Then she strolled
t ' on to the next booth.
"She tells the truth there," said an
acquaintance, who had been listening.
"She nags and nags, or else she cries,
!;and, finally in desperation, her husband
I gives in. And then she crows about it."
"If I had known that," said the pre-
tended palmist, "I certainly would have
; handed her one as to her future. And
; It wouldn't have been guess work
.either. You can count on what will
! happen to those two as sure as you
J can add two and two to make four."
; "You certainly can," said the ac
I . quaintance. "And it Is a pity. too. Her
"' husband is a nice fellow. . But he will
either become resigned and just stolid-
ly endure the life she makes him, or
- some day he will kick over the traces,
and there'll be either a divorce or an
, infirmity,' as the old darkey called an
; affinity."
: , "But don't she see how selfish she
; is?" inquired the pseudo-palmist, in
; dignantly. "Can't she see that she
; really loesn't love her husband when
'. she never considers him at all, but
just wants her own wishes gratified
t all the time? Now and then, of course,
lier way might be the right way; or

lier to do as she wishes. But simply

hers, and to contemptibly use tears to
get her way, for lots of soft-hearted
men can't see a woman cry, and then
to gloat over a triumph won in this
fashion, is almost as small and mean
as anything a wife can do."
"That's quite true," observed the ac
quaintance, cynically. "But that's the
programme of many a wife. And that's
the sort of outlook many a husband
has. It is a case either of always
giving in, or always quarreling. Some
men are heroic enough to shoulder
their burdens and make the best of
them. But it is mighty hard on them."
"Especially," said the pseudo-palmist,
"when you think how happy they both
might be, if she would be considerate.

joined and used their combined savings as a fund at Christmas
towards paying the church debts. 100 accounts in class 5 would

HE outdoor girl is beginning to
rummage about among her sport
ing togs in an effort to find some
thing good for the coming season. The
athletic girl's clothes this season savor
strcngly of the English influence. From
the tips of the sturdy little walking
boot to the crown of the soft felt hat,
the clothes are English. A suit of
etthir cravenette, cheviot or tweed is
desirable. The skirts are plain with
added fullness to permit ease in walk
ing; the coats are loose with the Nor
folk effect. A waist of tub silk is
worn with the suit which has a soft
turn-over collar with a four-in-hand
tie.
The flimsy lace underskirts are re
placed by knickerbockers and bloom
ers. The satin and brocades are dis
carded for the most serviceable ma
terials, and the whole general appear
ance gives one a vision of a fishing
stream or the shady woods.
A smart suit for golf or tennis is of
a soft mixtu'-e of tweed with plenty of
large pockets, a feature which appeals
to every woman. The skirt and coat
are both trimmed with large button!
to match the material.
An attractive hunting suit may be
developed from green cravenette. A
tan Angora hat is worn to' match the
waipt and tie of tan wash silk.
The Russian sport coats are especial
ly attractive. They are made of plaid
cheviot with a wide belt just below the
waist line. The coats are full and fall
below the knees. Another model is one
with the belt :it the waist line with
large buttons all the way down the
front. The model is developed from
plain material with velvet collar and
cuffs of a different color.

A HEHAL1S, Waslx., Feb. , 27. A
hovel way for a girl to make pin
money, whether she lives In a city or
country, is to take subscriptions for a
popular woman's magazine. Several
magazines have pin money clubs. Join
one of them and you will receive "some
lucky hints and other useful supplies."
The club's treasure box is running
over with bright, gold coin, waiting
your demand; the only limit to the
amount you draw is your own ambi
tion. By getting subscriptions you
retain a certain amount for yourself,
the rest sending to the club; besides
you receive an additional salary ac
cording to the amount of work done,
with dainty "encouragers" to show
how very much they are interested in
your success. Before calling on i
prospective subscriber, saturate your
self thoroughly in the magazine's at
mosphere, know all telling points, and
you are bound to succeed. Of course
one will oftentimes meet objections; a
woman will say, "I can t afford it
then suggest a six-months' subscrip
tion. Another "last resort" method
worth trying is to suggest two friends
or neighbors taking a subscription to
gether, each paying half price.
I do this kind of work in my spare
moments. Last Summer I earned
about S225 in three months. Your sal
ary depends upon the time you devote
and the saying is:
"She can who thinks she can."
MISS C. G.
Presses Trousers of Father.
ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 26. I am a 16-year-old
" girl, and I find that I
can earn quite a little pinmoney at
home by pressing . trousers for my
father and older brothers, for which
they give me 25 cents a pair. Often
they give me other little odd jobs, such
as mending gloves, repairing a hat
band, cleaning and pressing neckties,
or laundering evening ties, and some
times there is a whole suit to be
sponged or repaired. For all of which,
of course, they pay me according to
the amount of work. Any young girl
who is handy could do the same. 1
am sure If she just suggested the Idea
to the menfolk of the family they
would be glad to pay for the con
venience of having their work done
quickly at ihome, and whenever theyJ
wanted it. M. H.
Bake Salt-Rising Bread.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 27. One way I
make money at home is by making
salt-rising bread. So many people,
who are very fond of it, do not make
it. I can sell almost any amount of It
at from 15 to 20 cents a loaf, accord
ing to size.
The morning before I want to bake
I scald two heaping tablespoonfuls of
cornmeal with hot milk, making a thin
batter, then I add more cornmeal (not
scalded) to make it thick, cover to
keep the air out, and keep in a warm
place until light; when light put In a

Advice,
Men Speak to Her.
r EAR Mrss BLAKE: I am a girl of
J 18, rather tall and very pretty,
with large, expressive brown eyes, a
quantity of golden-red hair, and a good
complexion. I have often been told I was
good looking, but of course I myself
never think about this. But lately
wnenever I go on the street I am
bothered by the stares and comments
of people, especially men. As I dress
simply and quietly, do not paint or
use much powder, and do not putt and
frizz my hair, I canot see why this
should happen. My friends think my
maners very dignified. Do you think
it could be, as some of my friends say
on account of my unusual beauty?
And what can I do about it? I cannot
wear a veil always. ANXIOUS."
You probably exaggerate the atten
tion which you excite. If you walk
along quietly you will not notice the
stares and the comments of men. Un
usual beauty does not excite comment.
It may excite admiration, but never un
favorable comment. Make up your mind
that if you are quiet and reserved no
one will pay any attention to you, that
is. no one will embarrass you by com
ments. She Has a Broken Heart.
"Dear Miss Blake: I am nearly 30
and very close to the age called spin
sterhood. So you see if I am to marry
it must be soon. I have had several
offers of marriage, all from a worldly
point of view desirable, but I love none
of the men who made them. Long
ago I had a very unfortunate love
affair and ever, since my life has seemed
so profitless. Could you not suggest
something that I could do to occupy
my thoughts? My housekeeping is not
extensive, as only my widowed mother
is left me. I canot read a. I the time.
and when I sew I can still think and
dwell on my past. One of these offers
of marriage of which I speak is still
open to me. Shall I accept it and so
change my condition by giving my
self new interests? Although I can
not bring this man love. I can be a
faithful and devoted wife. Awaiting
your help. B."
One of the greatest truths about love
is that often the person whom we
love ardently when we are young will
appeal to us in no way when we are
older. This is perhaps true in your
case. If you would see the man who
caused you unhappiness when you
were young your entire self-made love
would leave you. It is your interest
in it that keeps it alive. In a case
like yours, I should think that mar
riage would make you really happy. It
would not be fair, however, to marry
without explaining to the man that
