The Southern Society Girl.

a Washington correspondent writes
to the Chicago Tribune "This life
Of gayety does not seem TO embarrass
southern women in the least. They are,
from their tenderest years, educated in
social calisthenics up 30 this point Of
endurance. Southern children are
ofteEer in the parlor than inmates Of
the nursery, and pass the hours which
should be cradle-rocked among the
evening guests, talking, eating, and
flirting with amusing grace and ma
turity. Their complexions suffer, as
does their health in the after years, and
the rush to cosmetics, to cover up de-
fciencies in coloring, is as natural and
necessary as their use of quinine or
Misunderstanding medicines. But they
have the easy, elegant, unconHciously
graceful manners of well-bred women
of the world, whom no exigency sur
prises, and who look upon the world as
hung with roses for their special pluck
ing. You never see southern society
girl act awkwardly, or look miserably
ont Of place, as did poor Joe Gargery
when he dressed IN his Sunday clothes.
They are natural, because they are as
much in their element as are swans on
the breast of the river.

The Secret OF Beauty.

It is not in pearl powder, nor in gold
en- hair-dye, nor in ieWelry. IL cannot
be got in bottle or box.
It is pleasant TO be handsome !; but all
beauty is NOT in prettiness. There is a
higher beauty, that makes us love peo-
pie tenderly. Eyes, nose, hair, or skin
never did that yet !; though it is pleas
ing TO see fine features. What you are
will make your face over for you in the
end, whether nature has made il plain
or pretty.
Good people are never ilI-looking.
Whatever their faces may be, an amia-
bic expression atones for all. IF they
can be cheerful also, no one will love
them the less because their features are
not regular, or because they ara too fat,
or too thin, too pale or too dark. Cul-
tivation Of the mind adds another charm
to their faces, and, on the whole, If any
girl is deairous of being liked by the
many and loved by the one, il is more
in her power than she may believe to
accomplish that object.
Cosmetics will not accomplish it, how
ever. Neither viii fine dress though
a woman who does not dress becominglyI
wrongs herself.
Forced smiles and affected amiability
will be of no avail but if she can man
age TO feel kindly to everybody, not to
be jealous, not to be cross, to be happy

ment, then something will come into
her face that will Outlast youths roses,

What Constitutes Warm Clothing.

The London Sanitary Record has an
article on Warm Clothing" in which
the following appears +: Experiments
conducted by DR.. Krieger tend to show
that flannel and WOODEN materials
answer this purpose more fully than any
other manufactured materials. The
same series of experiments also demon
strate that loose fitting garments tend
to keep us much warmer than tight-ft.
ting ones. The reason Of this is that
our clothing not only renders the air
still around us, but ii also regulates its
temperature by the heat that leaves our
bodies. We heat our garments, and
they continually heat the air passing
through the meshes and pores of the
skin. We do not feel the loss of heat
which our clothing undergoes as we
should If the air were to strike our sur
face without having been previously
prepared by our dress, the differences
of temperature balance themselves
within the material we are clothed in,
and of which the ends of our cutane-
GUS nerves form no part. Inside our
dress our temperature average about 75
to 81 degrees Fahrenheit, which is best
kept in by rough, loose woolen textures,
while garments of silk and linen should
be avoided. Another correspondent
points out the value of hair as non
conductor of heat from the body, and
recommends more general use of the
cheaper kinds of furs and skins, espe-
cially for persons obliged to be much in
The open air. A fur is SO arranged that
the finer projecting hair intercepts all
the heat which flows from the surface
by radiation and conduction, and dis
tributes this heat through the air which
eirculates between the single air-eylin-
ders the finer the hair of the fur the
more it takes up the outgoing heat,
and, however cold the air may be, il
reaches the nerves of the skin as
warmed air. Furred animals In winter,
when douched specifically, give very
cold sensation. II is only near the skin
that their hair feels warm. In severe
cold, certainly little of our animal heat
coiaes as far as the points OF the hair,
from which it would radiate or be con-
Quoted into the air. The current Of air
in the fur cools the air from its points
toward the roots, and severer cold
penetrates only little further into the
fur, without necessarily reaching the
skin OF the same. The researches made
all so to prove the soundness of the
conclusions arrived in favor of fur
clothing, and demonstrate beyond doubt
that al persons, old or young, feeble or
strong, who value the preservation Of
their health or their lives should, IS far
~ possible, in inolement weather,
elothe themselves in flannel and the
lighter materials until the advent of q |
more favorable season. .

a Lost Babe.

HOW 4 CALIFORNIA MOTHER WHO WOULD
DANCE WAS BADLY scAREDt
a ball was given at Camptdnville,
Yuba county, Cal, on New Years Eve,
which was attended by 9 certain lady
who resides some distance frotn that
place She had baby that could not
be left at home. Arriving at Catnpton-
vile early in the evening with her
baby, she put up at the Globe hotel,
kept by one Jones. She told Joues she
was desirous Of attending the ball if
she could find some one who would
take care Of her baby. Jones, being an
accommodating fellow, proposed that
he would safatEaer" the ssyoung an"
ad interim. The lady accepted the
Offer with joy, and putting the baby to
sleep, laid ID down gently in Jones'
bed, and then went to the ball, Up to
midnight Jones made frequent visits to
the room, to attend to the wants. of his
precious charge From that hour the
babe, SO far as Jones or it's mother was
concerned, was left alone, for Joaes fell
victim to sleep. It happened, how
ever, that ssage.drivar was asleep ID
d room nearly opposite to the one %
cupied by the babe. About ons clock
i. IT. says the North San Juan Times,
the babe began TO cry fearfulI5 and TO
appease it the stage driver TOOK it to
his own bed, and kept il quies bhe re-
mainder of the night. He was tip and
off by daybreak, before the moslSer had
returned from the ball, and before any
one was stirring in the house. leaving
the babe fast asleep il his own bed,
An hour later the bali broke up. ana
the mother returned to The hotel. She
went straight TO Jones room To Wee her |
babe. Lot and behold il wasn't there
neither was Jones. Soon tile whole
house was in an uproar, and search was |
made Tor the missing babe, BAT all in |
vain. In the meantime the whole town |
was startled by the infoEmasion that |
child had been stolen and carried away.
Finally, il was remembered slas The
stage.driver had slept ID the house that
night, and that possibly be might know
something about the missing child. He
was teIegraphed 10 on the subject, 10 |
DownieYilIa. and ia the course pf few |
minutes d reply was received fscn him,
which read as follows: e FranE Ramp

to the stage-driYer's room ana found
