IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
Ummr of the Old Customs and Con
ditions Are Passing 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 hi9
heart and his home. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in t heart under the tuition
of her mother. She loved to decorate and
beautify the house which 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 entirely to
her skill as a homemaker. When her
children grew up around nev this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry j
were the chief attractions in their world.
As they grew older the ties only grew the .
stronger. When they acquired families j
of their own the old homestead, with !
its abundance of good things, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
mother was still their best friend. She j
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
worth more 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 j
never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp- 1
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 i
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-called “liberty" which goes with |
toiling 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 of
club work. It will never be removed. A
few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still i
find her highest Ideal of happiness in .
a good husband and a cozy home. The .
clubs may succeed in making such homes '
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 tbs
unities of that holy institution the fam
ily, and she will continue in this exalted
role until the end of all things.
WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
She Was Happy and Yet There Was
an Awful Possibility Op- .
pressing Her.
"Darling,** he said, as be placed hit
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
Times, “why those pearly tears? Is the
home that I have brought, you to lew
magnificent than you expected?"
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. "It Is g-grand*
er than I dared to h-hope.**
“Have you found since our marriage
that I am lees exalted than yon had sup
posed me.to be?"
"Oh, F-Fred, you are a tb-thousand
times more exalt-t-ted than I thought
you to b-be.”
mooping down ne Kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful lashes, and asked:
“Has It grieved you to be taken from
Soar parents and the scenes of your
childhood, little one.”
"No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied,
“I would g-gladly go anywhere w-wlth
you.”
“Great heavens!” he cried. In wild
alarm. “Perhaps you are ilk Tell me,
is It so, sweetheart?”
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst -
of tears, “it is not that”
A look of deep perplexity overspread i
his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he could look down Into
her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, be
asked:
“Then, what in the dickens is the
trouble?”
“I was J-Just thlnk-thlnklng," 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
this magnificence.”

When only russet apples are to b*

is to pare, quarter and bake them in
the bean pot all day. Add a li^e su

KEYSTONE OF lil
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazie quality, the fou
tion of its grreat musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians,
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest frac
of a aezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal.

Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a pi
scale. The cost t/S produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of
