HOW TO

Foreigners say American women en-
terrain well. They do. says the New
York World. when they entertain accord
ing to their native customs, but when
they serve roast beef with Yorkshire
pudding to IN Englishman and macaroni
to an Italian they make a mistake. An
American meal should be served in
American style. both as to dishes and
ceremony. We have food fit for the
gods among our native viands. and il
needs only the tact of a truly American
housewife in serving it to make it very
ENJOYABLE. Just here we recall to mind
a ceremonious dinner given by a society
lady last season. where everything was
English. you know, and the amount of
foreign stiffness and etiquette so all per-
vading that the very gravy seemed to be
chilled with cold ceremony, and the
hearts of the guests grew stony as the
leaden hours dragged on and the awe
inspiring footmen showed nc signs. of re-
lenting. but still kept their victims peg
ging away at those foreign dishes; and
then we remember Il little supper given
by Il charming hostess in one of the
suburbs. where was had brOiled
chicken, American style. hot bread. ditto
steaming coffee, ditto raw fried potatoes.
ditto. etc. etc, and plenty of lively on
versation and a good time generally.
Thinking of these two feasts. looking up
on this picture and then upon that. we
vote for American customs forever. Din
ners of ceremony are Il rock ahead which
every lady should "Sheer or from, rs
Capt. Cutie would say, unless she is
very sure of her bearings. II takes a
genius to give a dinner, and the only
safety for persons with but moderate re-
sources at their command lies in simpler
feasts, IL o'clock breakfasts, l o'clock
luncheons, j o'clock teas. and 100 clock
suppcrs-always American style.

ANCIENT MOTHERs-IN-LAw.

The hatred of mothers-in-law seems to
be one of the touches of nature which
make the whole world kin. The Paris
poisoning ease has ended in an acquit-
tai, owing to the astute device of the
prisoners counsel in representing him as
a victim of his m0ther-in-law's maligni-
ty. A fellow-feeling made the jury
wondrous kind. They thought it better
that twenty criminals should 90 free
than that one innocent man should be
sacrificed to his mothcr-in-law. 1t is a
curious illustration of the injustice done
to woman by the domination of the
sterner sen in literature that the term
.'mother-in-law.' without any qualifica-
ton. is always held to denouncc the
wife's mother. The light literature of
all nations swarmS with malicious ear
features of the wifc's mother, while hus-
bands are either motherless or blessed
with angelic embodiments of all posi-
bic maternal and grand maternal viz
tues. Man hasfor centuries had his say
about my wife's relations:'' il is high
time that nm should give her YER
sion of my husbands membranes"

A REPENTAST HUSBAND.

A queer thing occurred at the Four
teenth street theatre on the first night of
the production of '.Evangeline," writes
are Il number of beautiful girls, and
among them is the daughtcr-in-law OF Il
merchant Of great prominence in New
York. Of the stage she is Il sweet. deli
cate little creature. with fine features.
big eyes, and Il graceful manner. About
two years ago she married a man who
was supposed TO be a great catch. He
is the son and heir of the merchant re-
ferred to, and, though Il hard drinker. is
thought to be a decent sort of fellow at
heart. He turned ont to be a sot: he
came home nights in biastly intoxica-
ton; he thrashed his wife: she was fore
ed from his home. That she was not 10
blame is proved by the fact that her faith
er contributed largely to her support af-
ter she had left the son. He made many
promises, and she went back to him
twice, but each time found il impossible
to stay more than a day or two. Mean
while her only relative and mother died,
and the remittances of her father-in-law
ceased. She tried needle-work. found it
would not go. and then went on the
stage. Finally she went to an actor,
who is a sor of everybody's friend, and
he put her on in the ''Evangcline" COM
pany on a salary of $l4 or SIG per week.
On the first night she came on the stage
in a little peasant dress, and though her
trouble Within tho past few years had
made her thin and slight she made a
charming picture. She was very much
frightened and trembled visibly. Only a
short time ago the father died, and the
son fell heir to an immense property.
That night he occupied a box and stared
persistently mt his wife whenever she
was on the stage. He was Us white rs a
sheet, and seemed thoroughly unnerved.
Ii is said that he has since promised re-
form. and friends of his have gone to his
wife begging forgiveness. Notwith-
standing his money. however. she will
have nothing TO do with him. for oddly
enough she has become Stage-struck
with her short experience. and prefers
working for Il small salary as a chorus
girl to being the wife of a man of
wealth. Perhaps she is right after all,
when one takes in consideration the sort
of man her husband is.

Grant was president Col. Smith went to

President Grant laughed heartily, and

F|ourishing to an Unprecedented Degree
POND Bros, the Clothiers.

Honest advertising, truthful representations, re o at variance with the
common habit of deludng the public by marvellous promises, which were
never fulfilled, it is a wonder to us how some of on windy competitors do the
little business they do. If we advertise any special bargain we have it, We
have never deluded the public in III advertisements. When we advertise a
Suit at Sc, we have it; and when a customer comes after it, we have his size,
and don't try and work off $40 or SIS Suit, saying we just sold the last of
that lot. The buying public of Mankato and vicinity, will not be fooled but
once, and will buy. OF houses whose word is as good as a bond, and such houses
are bound to win. $8 buys the best Suit ever shown in this o any other
State for the money. We challenge the world to produce its equal for the
money. $500 buys as good a pair of all wool Cassemere pants is ever was
shown in this city for $500.
