IF all the ships I have at sea Should come o-salling home to rne, Ah, well, the harbor could not hold Bo many sails as there would be If all my ships came In from sea.

Ah, well, I should have wealth as great As any kin who sits In state Bo rich the treasures that would bo In half my ships now out at sea. XP Just one ship I have at sea i Bhould enme a-snlllng home to me. Ah, well, the storm clouds thfn might frown. For If the others nil went down ' Still rich and proud and clad I'd be. If that one ship cnino duck io me. IF that one ship went down nt ea And nil the others came to me Weighted down with gems and wealth untold, 'With elory, honors, riches, sold. The poorest soul on earth I'd bo If that one ship came not to me. OH, skies, bo calm I Oh, winds, blow all my ships safe home to mo, But If thou sendest some a-wrack. To nevermore como sailing back. Bond any all that skim the sea But bring my lovo ship home to me. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. TAKING "DOMESTIC Life of the Orient as Compared with Do mestic Life of the West," Ng Poon Chow Chinese editor and lec turer, gave the Berkeley (Cal.) Hillside Club something to ponder over the other day. He said, In part: "As wo Chinamen understand it, love Is a hallucination, a delusion, intoxication, mirage in the desert of passion, a perverted product of a deluded brain, a disease, and a most deadly contagious one, a kind of de mentia Americana. It is a symptom of a disordered brain, as a night mare is a symptom of a disordered stomach. "Wo Orientals have no use for lovo, emotion or tender passion in marriage affairs or any other affairs. Wo are not sickly, bentiuioutal ciea tures, but cold, philosophical, fatal istic beings. We do not know, wo do not recognize any lovo, strict or free. "In these matrimonial affairs you Americans go at it blindly. In all other things, oven at the most incon sequential ones, you follow reason; but in the most important of all life's affairs, marriage, you follow the blind impulses of the reason-defying emotion of passion. "You throw deliberations, logical conclusion, reasoning, all the prod ucts of the matured brain to the winds, and, rushing along under the lnfluonco and stimulation of one of the by-products of passion, which, for a better name, you term Ioto, you come to grief on the shoals of matrimony. To the Oriental mind such a course leads only to disaster. "Wo ndmlro the American people for their Intellectual attainments, their material progress; yet wo can not but marvel at you, wise as you seem to be, permitting yourselves to be led and guided by the mischie vous, brainless kid you call Cupid In tho most serious affairs of life. Now, sinco marriage Is arranged In Btich a hnp-hazard manner, It Is no wonder you call it a lottery and so many draw blanks. A Means, Xot an End. "In China marriago is regarded as tho means, whllo in this country it Is tho ond. It somotlmes ends In a surprisingly short tirao. Now, sinco marriage is tho means for tho con servation of tho human raco, It fol lows that It Is not for tho conven ience of tho man nnd woman con cerned. Individual concerns, pleas ure, convonlonco and happiness are merely Incidentals and not tho sum total of tho purposo of marriage. Tho parties assuming tho marriago state nro moroly performing tho necessary functions of life. Onco assumed It Is final, and thero Is no way out of It but death, "To tho Oriental marriago is ah soluto and not n trial. Wo marry because we must; you marry bocnuso you will. Wo marry becauso wo hold It an oWtentlon to our ances tors and a duty to our po3t3rItj; yo; B ..'.. r Ti .f 7" J. 1 marry becauso you fancy that you have found your affinity. "In China no life career Is con sidered a success unless a marriage state Is entered into finally and truly. A man Is no man until ho Is mar ried. Though a Chinaman bo born a bachelor, he Invariably dies a mar ried man, provided he lives to a mar riageable age. Divorce Unknown. "To the slow-thinking Chinese marriage will not last for a day or n venr. but for all time. It will last for better or for worse In truth; It sticks closer than a brother through all tho span of life. Divorce is un known and trial marriages much less. "You regard marriage as an affair of the heart, and by logical conclu sion you are bound to follow the whim and fancy of ever-changing emotions In choosing socalled life partners. We pay more attention to its negotiations than you exert in tho search into the title of farm or lot with a view to purchase. "In this deliberation we do not for a moment take Into consideration the wishes or desires of the young people Immediately involved; conse quently our young people have ab solutely nothing to do In their mar riage arrangements. "In a Chinese marriage absolute Impartiality Is extended to all parties concerned; either party can take tho Initiative In negotiating for mar riage, while In America a square deal Is denied the girl. The young man has the initiative and chance to choose, while the young girl has no chance at all. "Your method Is unequal, partial and unjust, for you deny tho woman privileges that aro her right. In our marriage ceremony we are also far ahead of you, for we do not enjoin the woman to obey her husband, neither do wo ask her to love him. For to a civilized being the one is just a Irksome as the other." Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Flanagan en tertained Wednesday evening in honor of the Misses Sheridan. Tho event was one of the most enjoyablo of the week, the suburban home be ing aitistically decorated for the oc casion with colored lights evergreens and asparagus ferns.

Since the fashion for wearing rib bon buttonholed through tho hair has becomo popular some clever person has Invented a comb to save trouble. It Ts of shell or Imitation, is shaped In a circle, and is slipped into the hair by a group of teeth in the cen ter of front and back. The rim of the comb Is very fragile and Is the the col or of the hair. There are buttonholes through It and through them ribbon Is put. In arranging It, lace the ribbon In and out of tho holes before putting the comb In tho hair. Make a large bow at tho left side or a rosette on each side. Do not have one in the front and back. Then push tho comb Into the hair around the center of the head, and you have no Idea how attractive the effect is. You can use any color of ribbon to match tho costume. It Is an especi ally pretty hair dressing for autumn evenings and need not be kept for special occasions. It Is not too dressy for one's own house.
