THE MARRIED WOMAN AND HER MUSIC. The following very interesting article by Hector Charlesevorth, on the above subject, appeared in a recent is- sue of the Canadian Home Journal. I was very much interested in a paragraph which .appeared in the o "Tea Cup Time" Department ,of this journal last month which recorded a discussion stimulated by Oolong on the question of why so many women who have been trained to play and sing, drop their music after marriage. Of course the superficial answer is "Ba- bies,"—but I think it will be found that many women whose wealth in this respect is not so great as to pre- clude all other activities, do keep up their music. The mother who can play and sing finds her musical resources inwiluable in amusing and delighting i her youngsters. It is a grave mistake to assume that eneui is mererly an adult affliction; it is sadly present in childhood, even when the mother has means to give her babies everything that her heart could desire for them, and for ennui, music is the most po- tent of all remedies. The women who drop their music after marriage will, as often as not, be found to be those who have few family cares and seek recreation in other forms of amusement and ex- citement. There is perhaps an ex- planation that lies deeper still. Music, even in its cruder sentimental forms, is the language of dreams. The girl without a sweetheart, or compelled as most girls are to see that desirable person only at intervals, finds music In its many moods an expression of her dreams and longings. Once mar- ried she ceases to feel the need of its power in the evocation of tender reverie. I ani not one of those males who boast of being a seer of the feminine temperament, but I think this diagnosis is fairly near to the truth. The young married woman who lets her music go, is however, making one of the great mistakes of her life. Most of those who have given thought to the practical uses of music advocate its study by girls as part of their general education, and not specifically as a professional tic-. com,Aishment, the rewards of which niust fall to the very few. When mar- riage COMOS, as it frequently does, de- sette the murmurings of those who shake their heads over the conse- quences of allowing modern girls to earn their own living, and when the natural sequel of babies transpires, then /nude assumes a value to the wo- man that it never previously possess- ed. It has its phases in the nursery, but its influence is continued all through the various stages of family - life. I know of no more ' delightful sight than to see grown boys who danced in babyhood to their mother's music, singing around the piano with her when grown to budding manhood. There are doubtless many households in this broad land of ours where the young_ people of the household dancel with their friends, while mother sets the tune. But we could well wish woman who wilfully lets her music go, is casting away something precious. BOILING WATER AND STAINS. Not only will boiling water remove many fruit and vegetable stains from linen but its use on the fruit will ften prevent such stains on the fin- gers. And, of course, every woman wants to protect her hands as much as possible. When new apples are desired for pies or other desserts, pour boiling water over them and let them stand for a short time; the skin can then be removed withoue stains on the fingers and much more thinly than can be done otherwise. Peaches and toma- toes may be handled in the same way. Partially cook such young vegetables as potatoes, beets and carrots in boil - ng water and the skins can be re- moved without staining the fingers. PAINT THE CELLAR STEPS. Cellar steps will be much easier to keep clean and much more sanitary at all times if properly painted. Battle- ship gray is a good color to choose. If a band of white is painted at the juncture of the step and riser, dirt will not have a chance to lodge unseen in this favorite collecting place. If the cellar steps are dark it is a wise precaution to put a band of white paint at the end of each tread, thus preventing one from stepping too far to ane side. It is also a good idea to paint both the top and bottom treads white so that they may be more easily seen. - there were snore of them. There would be fewer heartaches because the young folk wish to keep smiling out to the movies; or because they are "never home." Even the childless woman finds her music a rather useful net for keeping her husband if his tastes are at all sympathetic toward its appeal. I suppose that the number of men who like what is known as ''high -brow" music" is comparatively limited but there are few who do not like simple airs, whetleer sentimental or gay. No woman should consider herself ill - mated becauee her husband is not up to Debussy or Raeel,—although no woman should needleesly let her taste fee' good music utterly disappear sive- plY beconse Eer husband cannot fol- low her in appreciation of its intrica- eieS, lit she can easily find plenty of music that will interest him, with- out at the same time sacrificing her own artistic interests. Which brings one back to the original point that the A POPULAR STYLE FOR THE GROWING GIRL. 6 3 3 1 —EY WILLIAitif MACLEOD Rimy's • (Copyright, Thomas Allen.)

He returned to the subject of the bond. It seemed to him best, he said, in view of Jack's feeling, to get other bondsmen.

One thing stuck in his mind as the gist of the hint. The attorney was ad- vising him to go to the court -house and check up the marriage licenses: , He walked across to the Equitable , Building and dropped in on his cousin James. Cunningham rose to meet him a bit stiffly. The cattleman knew that jJack had already been in to see him . or had got hirn on the wire. j Kirby brushed through any em- barrassment there might be and told frankly evhy he had come. "I've had a sort of row with Jack. Under the circumstances I don't feel that I ought to let you steer on my bond. It might create ill-feelin' be- tween you an' him.

From Serbia comes an interesting account of a popular hero who lives in one of the country districts. He is a peasant named Marko, but he is known far and wide as "The Man of Perfect Service." "With nine of his peasant comrades he was detailed during the Great War to do orderly work with a general and his Staff. It was the duty of Marko and his companions .to keep every- thing in order about the general's headquarters. They had not been at work long be- fore the general received loud corn - plaints of their slackness. He called them before him. "Brothers," he said, "you are here to render service to my- self and my officers. Let it be done joyously and perfectly. That is all." After the appeal they showed mark- ed improvemerit. But before leng the complaints began again. One night as Marko and the others were settling to sleep the liap of their ,tent lifted, and the general appeared. "Good- night, brothers!" he said. "I hope all is well with you." "Good night," was the gruff rejoind- er. When the flap, had fallen Marko cried, 'Brothers incleecli Who's he calling brothers! Don't we do all the work! What is lie a general for, I'd like to know? He's no better than the rest of us." • The next morning when they awoke they discovered to their astonishment the OfflOOTS. boots, brightly polished, standing in a row just inside the tent. They hastened into the hall and found the fire burning merilly and the place looking cleaner than they had ever seen it before!' They rubbed their -eyes and spoke to one another of the old fairy tales of the elves that cdine to help the good housewife. ' Wb.en the same thing occurred the next morning they decided to set one ,of their number to vvatola, during the night..

As soon as the 'general' bad gone the man aronSed, comredes and told -them the staggering news: ;• IPresently, Marko 'velis summened., to the general's .presence; he ;guessed, that the general had ovvhieard his ooUSbvil'ords of complaint, -"lVIttrice;"; said the gerieral, "did'you ever hear of 'Jesus Christ?" • "Why, yes, sire!" was , Marico's amaeed response. , • Then you remember the lesSon He gave His disciples when He; washed. their ,feet."', • Mexico's heart was-stddenly flhled with shame. - • • ; "Marko,' eoutInued the officer; "I am-yoUr general because a ,general g UPI) OSOd. to be able to, do any 'Of, the 'duties Alf• these under his, Charge as well as'inuch More, • I have ilto,Wri you that I cat do YOnv'work, but you ninst • not think ,that I have net enjoYecl do- ing i.t!"- eyeS 'twinkled with de- light: "In eve'ry perfect Service there Is hidden a great tree.sure. Whenever a man truly serves he finds God." That was the beginning of a great change for Marko and his friends. There was never any more need of complaint, and when the war was over Marko returned to his own district to begin there a new' life of service.
