If, as has been feared by a few worry- ing persons, the broader life of women is leading them from the love of house- hold duties there will he comfort in the thought that the men will take up the ' reins of government and the home life will not suffer in the least. I don’t for a minute admit that such a state of af- fairs is threatening us; I only offer this as a balm to the objectors of women’s clubs and all that means a broader, feminine world. There is more than one factor in it. There‘ has gradually grown up among the members of the other sex a liking for cooking, for entertaining, for house government in general. It has sprung, of course, from the bachelor apartment life which men with the strong home instinct and insufficient means for keep- ing a familyfound the next best thing “ to a real home. Two or three, or even more men find -. an apartment with one or two servants a. very comfortable existence, for they new all the comfort and n0ne of the )‘ :3. ,~ . .’-~ responsibility or other annoyanaces of‘a married llfe.

It is' an easy and pleasant life, although a selfish one. These men will tell you that house- keeping is an easy matter, that women have made it an unnecessary burden- They have found it a burden undoubt— edly mainly because they have not had the money to spend upon it as men have. ' It is a well-known fact that the man who thinks his wife ought to run the house on $10 a week finds double that sum—yes, more than that -~—necessary when he runs it. He will not personally superintend one detail or consider the price of anything he wants done. He wants it, that is sufficcnt. If these masculine housekeepers or home-makers, or whatever they choose to be called, were obliged to run estah-' lishments ona weekly sum doled out by somebody, say their wives, would they find housekeeping the joy they now consider? It makes a difference, you kn0w,when somebody else holds the purse~strings, and I would almost be willing to see the field deserted by women for the sat- isfaction of watching the men struggle with the problem of trying to make six out of two and two, when the laws of mathematics say nothing but fcur is possible. ‘ Just in what manner this increased liking for housework among men will affect the domestic question I cannot say. It may be that men will be bred to housework instead of women, and make it their life vocation. ’I know of houses where men are employed to do any kind of housework, and they give entire satisfaction. I have also heard of another house- hold where the usual order of things has been reversed because the wife came into a large inheritance. She pays the bills and his salary and he does just what she desires. I am not sure that the feminine dis- like to household cares springs from the difficulties, principally the money difficulties which attend them, but un- doubtedly they have something to do with it. . If the household could be simplified to suit the allowance or the income in- creased to accommodate the demands of the house, at least one serious diffi- culty would be carried away. There are women to whom the rest would mean nothing uncomfortable. fl finyét’eé (fixiggue. «~40-..—~- ' The Homeliest Man in Norwalk, As well as the handsomest, and others are invited to call on any druggist and get free a trial bottle of Kemp’s Bal- sam for the Throat and Lungs, a reme- edy that is guaranteed to cure and re- lieve all Chronic and Acute Coughs, Asthma, Bronchitis ‘ and Consumption Price25c. and 500. FEMININE CHAT. It is a silly girl who quarrels with her best young man at this season. ' How happy we can be when our con- science is not condemnatory. You had better buy your Christmas tree this week if you wish a good one. Why are we always telling our troubles to persons who take no interest in them? It is a noticeable fact that a day off frequently signifies just what is implied in the expressio n. How many persons are far more ready to belie e in the prognostications of a fortune taller than ll the efficacy of their own efforts. The Sunday school superintendent looks wise as he regards the crowded benches these day’s. Two women com get more innocent fun out of a day ’s shopping than a man could possibly imagine. Some men are like pet dogs in that they never will show on“: when you most wish them to make a good impression. Even though you do not expect any- thing yourself it is a joy to be present when a. gift is selected for some one 615:. » 'All the talk is of Christmas, with no mention of the day after, which is as important in its way as the great fes- tival itself. How marvelous it is that a smallehild can so absolutely rule a grown person that the latter is helpless before the small fury’s will. It doesn’t speak very loudly of a per- son’s ambition when some one else has to be deputed to wake him or her for a business appointment. When a woman arrives at an age when she enjoys feminine society more than that of the best men going, it argues either that she is married or that she intends to be. Do not give your domestic a purse . unless there is a live dollar bill in it. To do so is a. breach of servant hall etiquette, as‘you will discover by the rapid Way in which the china will dis- appear after Christmas. Women love each other so much. When you hear, one advising another to take atonic, do not be too greatly touched by the devotion; it is onlya. femininemethod ofveayiug ‘how thin I It does not require‘an expert to der' tect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes. the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache 1n the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desn‘e to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it: if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling, as if it must at once be repeated, or if the ugine has a brick dust deposit or strong 0 or. When these symptoms are present,no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation. causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
