do the thing up in style.

A WIFE of nearly ten years having Civ
en- her servant holiday, was attending
to culinary matters herself, and hearing
her husband coming to the kitchen,
thought she would surprise him MS soon
as he entered the door by throwing her
hands over his eyes and imprinting
kiss on his brow as in the days Of the
honeymoon. The husband returned the
salute with interest, and asked, as he
disengaged her hands, "Mary, darling,
where is your mistress ?" The wife dis
charged "Mary, darling" the next day,
and has adopted new plan of "sur-
prising" her husband.
SPRrNGFIELD, Illinois capital, IS said
to be at present groaning under the ty-
ranny of seryantgalism. The Amazons
of the kitchen have ''bulled" the mar
ket, and created panic in that sort OF
stock. They have got up corner
IN the aforesaid kitchen. and cannot be
hired at any price, except with condI-
tions that leave no doubt that Bridget
is mistress of the establishment. ln

with "Girl wanted" The papers con

NJ. Z. Haweis :
"Ladies are accused Of spending too
much on their dress my point is that
whether they spend little or much, they
may lay their money out on right~-or
wrong-artistic. principles. A woman
who understand and knows how to aP-
ply a few general principles, such as
have tried to point out, may often spend
half as much as her friend who gives
herself over to her dressmaker and emp
ties her purse by ezhausting the last
fashion book.
"We are told again that ladies think
too much about dress. I should say
that they think too little, or rather they
dent think all. If they thonght little
more about dress, they would waste less
time, and probably spend less money,
but the result would be grace, harmony
and expressiveness, instead Of those
astonishing combinations which rob the &
fairest women Of half their charms
and expose ruthlesslv the weak points
Of their less favored slstere. But az,
in spite Of Quaker and philosophers,
women are likely to money and time
