Dr. l;orrest li. Dager, of St. Paul's lipiscop.il Church, l'.ro.id and Venango streets on "A Model Wife." At his request various male members of the congregation sent him letters expressing their opinions on this interesting subject, and these he read, to the great wonder and edification of the large number of women present. Some of the views expressed follow: "An ideal wile should not spend $25 a week on a $20 salary." "One that does not spend three parts of her time gadding with the neighbors." "One that has the breakfast dishes washed when her husband conies home to supper." "One who keeps her home neat and tidy." "One who does not harass the soul out of a man." "One who enjoys his prosperity and is ready to sympathize with him in adversity and helps to make the home happy." "One who thinks more of her children than of a bull pup." "A woman with more gray mat ter in her upper story than red paint on her busybody face." "A woman who dresses well is remembered more for herself than her clothes." "A woman who cares more for her home and children than for af ternoon bridges and parties." "A woman who realizes the val ue of peroides as a disinfectant, not as a hair dye." "A woman who does not con sider her home complete when it consists of herself, her husband and a dog." "A woman w ho reads, under stands and obeys the Bible." Dr. Dager in his sermon advo cated a combination of the ideas presented. Especially should a woman be neat and tidy, keep her self nicely dressed, always have the meals ready when her husband arrives home, love her children and home.read her Bible faithfully, and go to church regularly.

At last, after , he had loudly repeated his query for the fifth or sixth time, a grave iooking gentleman laid aside a : book and rose from a seat near one end of the car. "1 have the privilege of being a minister of the gospel, sir," he said, "can 1 be of any service to you ?" I "Yes," said the large passenger, i "A fellow back in the dinning car i has bet me $5 that it wasn't Lot's ' wife who got Jonah into trouble, , a;id 1 thought you might have a J Bible with you, so 1 could prove j he was wrong and get the mon ey."

I HOW TO LIVE A THOUSAND YEARS. i THE LITTLE BO, THAT DIED. I am all alone in my chamber now, And the midnight hour is near, And the faggot's crack and the clock's dull tick Are the only sounds I hear; And over my soul, in its solitude, Sweet feelings of sadness glide; l-'or my heart and eyes are Full when I think Of the little boy that died. 1 went one night to my father's house Went home to the dear ones all, And softly 1 opened the garden gate, And softly the door of the hall; My mother came out to meet her son, She kissed me and then she sighed, And her head fell on my neck, and she wept For the little boy that died. And when 1 gazed on his innocent face, As still and cold he lay, And thought what a lovely child he had been, And how soon he must decay; "Oh! death, thou lovest the beautiful," In the woe of my spirit 1 cried; For sparkled the eyes, and the forehead was fair Of the little boy that died ! And I will go to my father's house, Go home to the dear ones all. And sadly I'll open the garden gate, And sadly the door of the hall; 1 wlil meet my mother, but never more Vi'ith her darling by her side; But she'll kiss me and sigh and weep again l-'or the little boy that died. 1 shall miss him when the flowers come In the garden where he played: I shall miss him more by the Fireside, When the flowers have all decayed; I shall see his toys and his empty chair, And the horses he used to ride; And they will speak with a silent speech, Of the little boy that died. I shall see his little sister again With her playmates about the door, And I'll watch the children in their sports, As 1 never did before; And if in the group I see a child That's dimpled and laughing-eyed, I'll look to see if it may not be The little boy that died. We shall all go home to our Father's house, To our Father's house in the skies, Where hope of our souls shall have no blight, And our love no broken ties; We shall roam on the banks of the River of Peace, And bathe in its blissful tide; And one of the joys of our heaven shall be The little boy that died ! And therefore, when I am sitting alone, And the midnight hour is near, When the faggot's crack and the clock's dull tick Are the only sounds 1 hear, Oh ! sweet o'er my soul in its solitude Are the feelings of sadness that glide Though my heart and my eyes are full when I think Of the I i i tie boy that died. BANO YOUR HAIK. The new hats press down over the hair, framing the lace witn hard line. "What shall we do?" we ask in dispair. "Behold the bang," says the hair-dresser, that would settle the matter. So we have the bang again, or as the English call it, the fringe. It is not as simple as it looks, however, and cannot be done at home with the shears. It is not cut straight across. It is rounded, and then made into soft, loose little curls that are just visible under the drooping hat brim. The hair must be wider at the sides and half low and full at the back. Naturally, the "rat" must not cross the top of the he..d, nor can it be placed across the back. A woman s love lor a man is real if he can make her lose her temper. Miss (iertrude Athvrlon Says the "Sharpened Intellects" of Mod ern (iirls Entourage Indepen dence i I Leaving entirely otnof tlie ques 1 lion the substantial improvements demanded by the suffragists, and : those ill-balanced children of Itheir old age called suffragettes there j are certain more intimate disadvan j li'ges pertaining to the immemorial status of woman, which, uneoii I seiously or otherwise, influence I the thousand of girls that dehber j ately enter upon the independent ; life before man shall have a chance to marry, iiesert, neglect or Pore them, It is possible that iHe wo man never lived who was born j without tlie instinct ot romantic i love, and its less romantic sequels, l:.ut I'ie anj Niils, I) an.l Sleep in ?ss :n vvhite .ton s . " is ' the ige, or a Vf il'S lie j marriage and maternity, says Ger J trude Atherton in the Delineator ! for August. Being the only hope of the race until science learns to manufacture estimable Franken I steins, every sort of woman, when j young, is as prone to the disease j of love as to the microbous afflic tions of childhood; but the sharp j ened intellects of the modern fe j male teach her to observe not only that indulgence in tlie primitive blessings are often productive of a tame happiness at best, but that it is mere chance if she does not waste several years of her active youth waiting for some man to exert his inalienable right to woo and pro-1 pose. A man may trample down bar riers, make opportunities, persist, overwhelm, but a woman with double the fascination and intelli gence, must either stoop to con temptible scheming or proudly bide her time, as likely as not to miss her chance of happiness be cause circumstances do not give her the opportunity to reveal her self to the kindrei spirit. If she cannot pursue a man as a man pursues a woman when he wants her; if she has not the su preme attractions which bring a man to a woman's feet with a flash of the eye, she can at least avoid the mean subterfuges of the hus band hunters, and lead a life in which man as a love-factor is prac tically eliminated. She can also enjoy much the same privileges as men, until, perhaps- who knows? one day she may meet in this larger, fuller life a congenial, many sided creature who wants some thing more than a reproduction of his grandmother.
