All Can he Attractive.


Few women are beautiful. some are pretty,
many may be handsome; all can be attractive,
and there is absolutely no excuse for being
unsightly. 1t costs money to buy dresses,
hats, cloaks, shoes, gloves, collars, ribbons,
and hhndkerchiefs; but little more expensive
is a neat dress pattern, simply made but well
fitted, than a startling novelty, loaded with
trimmings and slovenly made. A becoming
hat costs no more than n loud, gaudily
trimmed one, and it is possible to get just as
neat n shoe for So as for double the price. II
would seem impairment to have to speak OF
personal cleanliness, yet so gross Is the
neglect that n woman, with a head of clean,
well-kept, well-arranged hair, white teeth,
immaculate hands, face. ears, and neck, Is
quite as remarkable in a public place OF
streetcar as a positive beauty, 1t is this
%scrupulous care of the body that adds so much
to the reputation OF Mrs. Langtry. Her haiI
is so clean and fragrant of bay rum, her teeth
so white, her lips so rcd, her ears and finger
tips so pink, and her skin so perfectly free
from imperfections, and there is about her
such All air Of being well-fed, and well-kept
as to remind one OF a Thoroughbred horse.

Decorative Value or the Open Fire
Mace.

Inc DECORATOR.
Open fires have more than an aesthetic In.
fuence. As centres for the home circle or
family semi-circle that forms them, and as
disseminators of cheerfulness and content 1t
may be- claimed that they serve an aesthetic
purpose. The swapping, fragrant back log,
or the genial glow Of camel coal, mantled in
limpid flames OF blue, dispose one to profitable
reflections, to generous and sympathetic feel
ings, and to a placidity Of mind that was for
n time supposed by the rushing public of this
nineteenth century to be one Of the lost arts.
Classy furnaces, cast-iron stoves and such
pretexts as kerosene and gas radiators can
never impart more than physical
warmth. Mental caloric and those airy
fancies, delicate as the flames that give them
cause, are not evolved by hugging
stoves and sitting over registers. The
cheerful effect of visible fire gives It dec.
orative value, and 1t is doubtless for this
reason that appropriate settings for andirons
and CRATES have recently invited the attention
Of architects and designers. Fires were
almost the sole decorations, IL they may be
no regarded, of early settlers homes In this
country, and many an old farmhouse would
be dismal enough to day but for its cozy
hearth, the focus of family heart warmth.
Even When it flashes from a rude cavern OF
brick and mortar, n fire may DO regarded as
the eye of an apartment, giving cheer and
animation to what might else be cold and
lifeless. It naturally attracts the human eye,
and is therefore a fitting spot about which to
group objects OF attractiveness and beauty.
Antiquity of decoration is not amiss, so the
designs he cheerful, but let not admiration
for antiquity betray US into admiring an
tiquity for its own sake. Select what is beau
tiful and useful in it, for a catholic spirit Is
the spirit Of the time, but do not, as one
house owner OF my acquaintance has done,
hang the ancestral pots and kettles upon a
crane over the drawing room fire, showing
them complacently TO visitors as things TO
t..Tact

at is better for you,u says Thackeray, ito
pass an evening once or twice In a lady's
drawing-room, even though tie conversation
is slow, and you know the girls songs by
heart, than in a club, tavern, or the pit of a
theatre. All amusements Of youth to which
virtuous women are not admitted, rely on 1t,
are deleterious to their nature. All men wha
avoid female society ave dull perceptions
and are stupid or have gross tastes, and re-
volt against h is pure. Your club swag-
gsrers, who are sucking the butts OF billiard
cues all night, call female society insipid."
