WOMAN’S WORLD.

HOW MUCH SHOULD A WIFE FORGIVE? LECTURES OX DUTY. What must a woman submit to before she has reasonable grounds for declining to live with her husband? This point was raised in the Divorce Court in London by Sir Charles Gill, K.C., when the husband, Colonel F. C. S. Samborne-Palmer, took the unusual course of petitioning for a restitution of conjugal rights. Mrs. Caroline Mary Filmer SambornePalmer, who asked for a judicial separation, alleged, through her counsel, Sir Charles Gill, that the colonel was suspicious, disagreeable, dictatorial, badtempered towards her, used coarse and unkind and cutting remarks to her, used threats towards her, had assaulted her. Sir Charles said there was no process by which a husband could compel his wife to live with him. Therefore the only object—there being no children—to induce a man to •take such proceedings was to obtain money from his wife.

Sir Charles said the colonel appeared to have broken the spirit of this woman. She was the only child of the Rev. J. F. Anstey, a wealthy clergyman, and wax brought up with the greatest possible care.

After the marriage in 1904 the colonel, continued counsel, took upon himself to educate her as to how she should treat servants. He took a dislike to her maid, Marie, whose ambition it Was to be a nun.

He suggested that she was dishonest, and he put sugar in an envelope to see if the maid read the letter which it contained.

At the time of the marriage, said counsel, the wife’s father settled a large sum on his daughter, and the household expenses were defrayed by her. The petitioner talked to her on the duties of a wife to her - husband, and said that if she were asked to go to the top of St. Paul’s, or Central Africa, or to hell, it was her business to go. On the suggestion of the president (Sir Hy. Duke), who said a full inquiry into the charges must damage both parties whatever the issue, a settlement was arrived at as a result of a discussion between counsel. Later counsel announced a settlement under which there would be a deed of separation, the wife agreeing to pay the husband £3OO a year. The husband (counsel added) did not believe certain statements alleged to have been made against his wife. ADVICE TO A DAMSEL. ANOTHER OF WALT. MASON’S RIPPLING RHYMES. When a damsel has a lover who’s a pretty decent man. And who shows a disposition to perform the best he can, Who is kind and good and pleasant, and whose bosom holds no guile, And who labors in the vineyard with a gay and cheerful smile. Then she shouldn’t make him promise that he'll do a seraph stunt, When they’ve stood up at the altar with the preacher man in front; And she shouldn’t spring a lecture when he comes around to court, For a man is only human and his wings are pretty short; When a maiden has a lover who is surely making good, Who is winning admiration, who is sawing lots of wood, Then she shouldn't make him promise that he'll be an Angel boy, With qualities all golden, with no touch of base alloy; She should murmur: “He’s a daisy, and we’ll take things as they come; For a man is only human; as for faults, we both have some!” TEN SIMPLE BEAUTY SECRETS. One of the most beautiful women in English society presented her daughter with the following hints recently. She said they were worth a, guinea a word: When your mirror tells you you are not looking well, rest. To keep the hair beautiful, wash it once a week. To keep the mouth young, massage with the little fingers the lines of petulance from nostrils to lips. To have always a youthful contour, keep the line of the jaw as thin as a knife edge. To keep the nose shapely, give it frequent massage. To take away the ugly middle-aged redness of the nose, use hot compresses on it. To keep the tired lines away from the eyes, bathe the lids and skin about the eyes with water as warm as you can endure it. To make the eyes always brilliant, bathe them as often as you do your face. To avoid the multiplied chin, sleep with the head low, the lower the better. To refresh the dry, withered skin, bathe it often in water as warm as you can endure. WHAT A MAN LIKES TO TALK ABOUT.
