Business W61 B3Y LAURA To smile at someone in the clutch Of black despair and greet. A lonely heart-it isn't much, But, oh. it makes life swoot. (Copyright. 1916.) When a poor young man proposea snarrlage to a young woman employed and earning c good salary, th( first serious prob. ten they discust is whether the girl should con. tinue in her posi. tion or drot money making after she has as. sumed the busi. ness of wifehood. It Is usually a great. temptatli to the girl to help fill the fatully cof fers and ' she coiixes so hard she wins her hue band over to ler View of -a, mat ter wlich seems susceptible to'solu tion. Still retaining her position though A bride seems actually to have a tinge -of romance ;cdnnected with her anbli tion. She quite believes that hubby .und she lead ideal lives. Of course she gets the breakfast-cereals, eggs, baker's rolls, coffee. Then both hurry , on their wraps, with an eye on the clock, turn thi key in the door and hurry off. chattering and laIghint: to gether to catch their different ears. 'hey generally arrive home at the same hour at night, he having to stop to buy the meats and such articles, while she buys the lighter articles from the corner grocery. The rooms do smell a trifle mjusty 'After being closed all day, but they dox't mind that. He reads the eve ming paper to hier while she hustles .round to get the supper. If she haE had a hard day at her place of busi. ness this added toil seems a bit irk some, but she is careful not to let hub. by surmise that. It is sure to be pasi Irish Linen Sets. Among the newest temptatins to buy at the counter where the table linens , are sold are the luncheon napkins made especial ly to go with Irish linen lunch eon sets. Many a hostess has been puzzled to know Just what form of napkin to use with, th, Irish linen setsI Madeira nap kins, though dainty, are hardly In keeping, and the conventional damask napkins are no more so.% But now we find the solution in the form of linen squares, edged about by an Irish lace pieot. Many of them are simply this and no more. Others are decorat ed with an ornate monogram or conventionlal design at one of thle corners. WVhile these may be bought at ai shop1 for something like $8 or $9 a dozen, they, can be very sImply and easily made at home ; for the merest novIce cani learn howv to make a picot or Armenlfan cedge ; and that samue novice can quite simply roll ii on lnenl squares of correct lunch napkin size. * 1Mother's Cook Book Shakespeare's mother was greater thar her eon, for she bore and nursed him.

Hubby proposes, that they shall go to a show, but, dearly as sho would like to accept, duty forbids. "You can take an hour's walk. I have something to do which prevents me from accompanying you," she says. It Is a relief to her to see hin out of thei way for, a little while. He never realizes the herculean tasks she ac complishes in that short hour.' Those four roomis are swept and dusted. I'he bed (which they were obliged to leave just as it was in the morning through want of time) is made. Her white waist, collars and cuffs are washed and Ironed, the rent in her dress is mended, the hole in his vest pocket 'Ia darned, to say nothing of the washing of dishes, pots and pans and tidying the range. One cannot work all day and all night too. Housework soon becomes i drag. In reckless desperation,- she chooses between two courses-board ing or patronizing the delicatessen store. . ' -. Hubby does not thrive well on fiell catessen dinners. He loses ambition. They give up housekeeping and try hoarding with results far from antis fying. During the month's vacation with out pay which the young wife is obliged to take, she tries the experi ment of again starting housekeeping r-nd using her days in having the house work nil done and a sinoking hot, tempting honemrade meal ready for him to sit down to when he enterm the house; in short, attending strictly to i wife's business, building up her hus band's strength and health to meet the exacting daily labors ie must go through. She has plenty of time to do. the mrarketing and she is surprised how far sire can make i dollar go. They both conclude a wife's best place Is in the home. The amount she could earn outside of It does not comr pensate for haphazard living, extra night work and loss of health uir( strength for both husband and wife. FANS FORGET G WHEN STAR . Detroit Baseball Writer Roasts Crowd Which Rides Donie aush When Midget Has Bad Day.

Why Not a Half Nloke? New Coin Might Help Keep The Cost of Living Down Tle ham sandwich, whlch was once five cents, now freqpently coAts a dimie. The saime disturbing truth up plies to other things in common life, both Inside and outside of lunchrooms. There Is no need- of statistics -from economists to .inform us that the.<cost of living han'adyanced. E0very spend er of money knows it. Retailers are more reluctant to put prices up than is generally realized. They know that consumption decreases as prices ad vance. That means less business.and profits depend partly on large 'busi ness. When more than traffic will bear is charged the traffic falls off. Change making is one of the Items in up-to-date retailing.' It must be done quickly If expenses are to be kept (own. The young woman at the. lunch room desk has not time to count pen nies. She must deal in nickels, dimes and quarters if she is to maintitin her astonishing speed and accuracy. We need another coin. Three-cent pieces were confused 'with dimA and were hard to use, because they. were not fractions of other currency. No.one but a statistician thinks In decimals. The rest of us do our sums iniifrac tions. Four three-cent pieces :,make W 12 cents, . but there Is no such colh., light -of them make 24 cents, bit the coin aiuost corresponding is worth one S cent more. If three-cent pieces were again issued they, would not fill' the bill. With a half nickel it would be dif ferent. 'lalf a nickel is a fraction of every coin from the tnint. Wereithere such a coin, five-cent raises would not have been so common. If there grould )e such a coin, many prices would conie down.-Bostoni Globe.
