IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
M*bt of the Old Custom* and Com*
dltlona Are Paulng Entire
ly Away.
A generation ago to be an ideal house*
keeper was the chief ambition of almost
every woman. No girl desired a fairer
fate than to be placed at the head of a
household with a good and loving hus
band to supply all her wants and make
her the mistress and the queen of his
heart and his home. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experlequ In the art under the tuition
of her mothW. She loved to decorate and
beautify the house wtilch was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
grimage. She loved to create delicacies
for her husband and her children, and,
disguise It as we may, much of the af
fection she received was due^ntlrely to
her skill as & homemaker. When her
children grew up around her this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief attractions in their world.
As they gre w older the ties only grew the
stronger. When they acquired families
of their own the old hoHoctead, with
Its abundance of good thUjgs, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
mother was still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter In starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
worth mor« to them than gold. The
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally went away from the home
circle she left a vacancy which could
never'be filled.
But we are assured with every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that women have been
emancipated; that in the future they are
to be the rival, Instead of the helpmate,
of man, and that they must combine to
enforce their just demands against the
hostility of the male sex. This is non
sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women in
this generation than there were in the
last It is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popula
tion has been forced to be self-support
ing, but it is not true that women enjoy
the so-caHed “liberty” which goes with
tolling for a living.
The home instinct is too deeply
planted in the heart of women to be re
moved by the effects of a generation ol
club work. It will never be removed. A
few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
find her highest ideal of happiness in
a good husband and a coxy home. The
clubs may succeed in making such home*
impossible to a few men and women by
making the young women feel that they
have a more Important work in the
world than the prosaic duty of home
making, but among the masses of the
American people the mother will con
tinue to be the bond which unites the
unities of that holy Institution the fam
ily, and she will continue in this exalted
role until the end of all tbjnga.

“Da/ling,” he said, as he placed hla
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
Timge, “why those pearly tears? Is the
hoirite that I have bro'ught you to-less
magnificent than you expected?"
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. “It is g-grand
er thtm I dared to h-hope."
“Have you found since our marriage
that I am less exalted than you had sup
posed me to'be?”
“Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousand
times more exalt-t-ted than I thGugttt
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he klsiud away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful lashes, and asked:
“Has it grieved you to be taken from
your parents and the Beenes of your
childhood, little one.”
“No, no, dear-dearest," she replied.
1 “I would g-gladly go anywhere w-with
| you."
“Great heavens!” he cried, in wild
I alarm. “Perhaps you are ill. Tell me,
j is it so, sweetheart?"
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst
of tears, “it is not that.”
A look of deep perplexity overspread
: his handsome visage, and, pushing her
: back so that he could look down into
her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, he
asked:
“Then, what in the dickens is the
; trouble?”
“I was J-just think-thinking,” she re- !
turned, “how miserable I should be if
you were to die and I w-were to marry
s-some one who wouldn’t appreciate all i
this magnificence.”

When only russet apples are to be

is to pare, quarter and bake them in
the bean pot all day. Add a little su
gar and plenty of water. When cold
it looks and tastes like cider apple

KEYSTONE OF .
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founds"'
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered.
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach,of alL
