the night to rest in. Let some poor
tired woman try it. and see if 1T is
not better than doing all in one day,
and then be sick two or three days
afterward.
THE.DRUDGERY OF PosITION.-The
wife of the rising man advances with
him, and with all her might strives to
enter s'society." Her old friends read
in the papers of her receptions, her
germans, her costumes, her dis

days when they were poor neighbors,
happy with their babies, their work,
and homely little gayeties. The sue
cessful woman, struggling, maneu-
wiring. climbing up the slippery peak Of
fashion, could tell her how often the
taste of the melon is bitter on her
tongue she could tell the price she
paid for it. She had an enormous list
of friends. chiefly kept up by cards
and glimpSeS in ball room; but the
hearty love of the people in the little
village where she was born, the famil-
lar faces, the ready hands in sickness,
the hearts that would faint and fall if
she were dead--she has put these
things all away from her. They were
the price she paid. For in this world
nothing is bought for nothing. For
all sorts of success the full price must
be paid.
SEAsONABLE HINTs.-After spring
cleaning is over, most housekeep-
ers like to add a few pretty
home made trifes to their
rooms, and brighten them up.
Tides made of strips Of velvet or silk,
with lace insertion and edge, are easily
made, and may be decorated in any
way to suit your taste. Hand en-
broidered vines on the strips of silk
or velvet are lovely. A tidy made of
square of silk with an applique boquet
in the centre is handsome. Really
serviceable tides are made Of linen,
trimmed with torchon. with outline
pictures drawn with indelible ink. If
you do not know how to sketch, get
sheet Of tracing paper, select some
simple outline picture for your first
attempt, trace it delicately and care
fully on both sides of the tracing
paper, then transfer to the linen by
placing it where you wish to have the
picture, and 60 over it again with the
pencil, then use the ink. You
may in the same way sketch for paint
ing in oil or water colors. This is
not, to be sure, "high art" but it is
pleasant work, and if you have not
much time to give to it is far better
than doing nothing of the kind.
Pretty trifes Of this sort add greatly
to the tasteful appearance of a room.
LICENSED RuDENEss.-You are
asked to a little dinner party,
and have every reason TO ex-
pect polite treatment from your
hostess. Do you receive it, Not in
variably. It is surprising to note the
number of social, subtle, but none
the less ruffianly affronts that we'll
bred people permit themselves to
offer to others. Are you talking
happily !--your hostess sweeps down
on you, and takes away your COM
panion as prize too precious for you
to retain. This is an affront common
from women, especially where the
one is to be annoyed is of the kind
with whom gentlemen like to talk.
She is to be taught that she must not
expect to monOpolize the gentlemen.
Gentlemen are the confessed bones
bouches of a room, and to be allowed
only to be fayorites Of the hostess.
Those whom it is desired to snub are
interrupted in their conversation, and
made to feel that they have not been
asked to amuSe themselves, but be-
cause of social necessities with which
personality has no concern If this
happens, as it most likely may, to a
woman of middle age or to one of
mediocre means, it naturally causes
great deal of Indignation and heart
burning /; which is exactly its object.
FRETFUL w. RDs.-Why be SO
severe in dealinG with the faults Of
those at home while we excuse any
thing friends or acquaintance may
do? The laws of politeness should
be binding at home as well as abroad.
We enjoy seeing our husbands and
wives polite to our neighb0rs, only
let us be sure to practice our good
manners at home. There are hus-
bands who would hasten to assure a |
neighbor' wife, who had. in her haste,
burned her biscuits, that they greatly
enjoyed them where they were so nice
and brown who would never think
their own wives needed the same con-
sideration. No man can be gentle |
man, though ever so genial abroad,
who is a tyrant or habitual Pathfinder |
at home; and no woman is real lady |
who is not a lady at home in her morn |
ing wrapper, as well as in silk in her
neighbours parlor. One member of !
family who begins the day with fret
full words and harsh tones, is generally |
