THE SCHOOL TO TURN
OUT PERFECT BRIDES
“Tom Boy” Will be Tamed and
Made a Perfect Peach.
Domestic Friction and Family J ars
Will Disappear and Divorces
Become Unknown.
The tiling long looked for, ear
nestly desired hut never seen, has
come at last.
We are to have a school that
guarantees to educate young wom
en to make such model wives that
all domestic friction and family
jars will he things of the past and
divorces become unknown quanti
ties. It is not to be confounded
with the ordinary Ladies Semina
ry or Fashionable Hoarding School
for Girls. The latter only aim to
give general culture and all-around
learning, hut the new discovery,
according to an exchange, has no
other aim in life than to turn out
perfect brides. It is thought that
\7
keeping ’em steadily until the nup
tial age is reached, even the ver
iest shrew may be tamed, the most
incorrigible Tom Boy broken in
and the most hoydenish vixen that
ever climbed a tree or rode strad
dle, may be taught to Look with
cast-down eyes, fold her hands in
gentle submission and possess man
ners as meek as a mouse. The
very things that every man wants
in “his girl” are to be taught
these sweet creatures from the agt:
of ten until the time when ordina
rily. they are looking for a hired
man to run off with. Every one
of the cardinal virtues is to lx
drilled in, all the deadly sins to lx
chiseled out, and in addition then
is to be a fascinating menu of ev
cry day wearing qualities none th<
less attractive because they arc
humdrum and commonplace.
Space is lacking to enumerate
all the good things that are to be
made part and parcel of Jhe “per
feet peach” of this new School ol
Design, but the average bachelor’s
mouth will water and lie can hard
ly restrain himself from demand
ing that one be s -nt C. (). I), ns
well as p. d. q. when he reads tliai
high up on the list of bridal re
quirements is this meatly legend
“Feed Him Substantially.” O
course this is garnished with sucl
maxims as “Be cheerful,” “Prac
tice repose,” “Train the servants
well*' stnd “Spend money prudent
ly.” But the main thing is “feec
him substantially,” and the geni
us who featured that requirement
as a headliner for the matrimonial
matriculants certainly understooc
her business. And just listen a'
tins as another primary priming
for the perfect bride: “Divide
your time between baby and bus
band.” Was ever anything love
lier or so conductive to supreme
. happiness in the homei In rea
life, during the uncultivated anc
semi barbarous ages that precedet
this blessed reform, the baby was
either the whole thing or hubbj
had to hold him half the time tc
secure a semblance of peace in the
household. But the graduated
wife will actually divide time be
tween the prodigy and the progen
itor.
The cheap newspaper wits wil
be deprived of all their stupa
jokes about “new wifey’s sodder
biscuits” and “the pies that moth
er used to make,” when the new
hymenial graduates begin flooding
the market. Husbands will no
longer be stuffed with fearfully
and elaborately constructed dishes
that would puzzle a French maitre
de causine. The girl who ha.'
graduated with the new degree ol
M. II.—“Model helpmate”—wil
have been taught to find out wliai
he likes best, have it cooked ir
fashion and make him forget (oh, !
blessed soul) that mother ever
knew the rudiments of the culina
ry art. The wives in cities will
know just how to choose the cuts
of meat, select the proper fowl,tell
a fresh vegetable or fish from last
season’s vintage, have some mon
ey left after a morning amid the
stalls and altogether be a model
marketer. The lucky farmers
who get wives from this matri
monial manufactory may expect
women who can teach daii.ting to
the best creamery expert, give
cards and spades to the fanciest
poultry breeder of the neigh bor
hood and outdo old man \ ick him
self in the matter of gardening.
We haven't the slightest doubt
that as soon as they are put on
to the coming boon by this an
nouncement, every eligible farm
bachelor will be sending in a hur
ry order to be supplied with a
member of the first class turned
out by this twentieth century man
ufacturer of miracles.

BOOKER WASHINGTON'S
ADVICE TO NEGROES
Prominent Negro Educator Gives
Negroes Timely Advice.
Tells His Friends That They Should
Lead a Life of Usefulness, So
berness and Simplicity.
Professor Hooker T. Washing
ton in an address at Birmingham,
Alabama, recently, gave some ex
cellent advice to the people of his
race. He said:
Not a few have predicted that
|on account of the recent election
many members of our race would
lnse their heads, would become un
duly pompous, self-assertive and
generally offensive. With all the
earnestness that I can command I
I want to urge our people in every
part of the country to disappoint
those who have made such predic
tions by leading a life of increased
usefulness, sobernees and simplic
ity, remembering that in the long
run it is to certain fundamental
ideas of growth in property, intel
ligence and high Christian charac
ter, of the cultivation of friendly
relations with our neighbors of all
races that we must look for our
ultimate success.
“The masses of our people are
to dwell for all time here in the
south and here it is that our des
tiny must be worked out and we
can only succeed when we have
the confidence and co-operation of
those about us.”
The advice is timely, and com
ing from so high a source it ought
to make an impression upon the
more thoughtful members of the
(Colored race. It is greatly to Pro
jfesser Washington’s credit that
he should take an early occas ion
| to thus warn his people against
rash and foolish action. The race
issue having been brought into the
campaign by President Roosevelt,
some of the colored men might
thoughtlessly construe the election
as a triumph for the doctrine of
social equality. To do so would
not only be a great mistake, but
it would be a real injustice to the
colored man.
Professor Washington, without
saying anything to offend the feel
ings of his people, points out the
necessity of confidence and co-op
eration between the two races in
the south and confidence and co
operation are impossible if the
question of social equality is
raised.
