Amusemenfs for Girls,

Although the recent introduction of GRO
quet, lawn tennis and similar games, to-
gether with rowing and swimming, which
are beginning to be received with favor for
women, are introducing much needed re-
form III this respect, the general class Of
amusements regarded as suitable for her
are still those which tend to keep her Sc
Guided and debarred from muscular exer-
ZION. Even dancing, most beautiful and
healtn1ul exercise. is usually participated
III under Injurious conditions. Heated
rooms, late hours and modern dress, preiu-
diclal to health, deprive women of the in
vlgoratlon which lies within it's compass.
Music, SO assiduously pursued by young
women OF the present day, takes low rank
as an amusement. With it are connected
weeks and months of hard and unremit-
ting work, distasteful and uninteresting to
those not endowed by nature with extreme
love for this art. From recent investiga-
lions music is found capable of depressing
the clfculatlon and may exert a probably
injurious Influence. Although the tedium
OF Women'S lives may draw them to the
piano. nothing can be more cruel and in
furious to young girls health than an en-
forced confinement to this instrument at a
time when her nerves and muscles peremp-
torily demand exercise in the open air.
Drawing. painting, crocheting, embroidery,
among the accomplishments presented by
society, are more or less hurtful, as they are
made to occupy the time absolutely re-
Quired for active amusement. The most
vigorous young man, compelled to this
mode of life, would soon lose health, his
muscles become faced, his nerves lose
tone, his blood deteriorate and his whole
physical and mental system become re-
Taxed.

New Dainty Hose.

Spun silk hose come in all colors, with

foil lowed by navy blue. More cardinal is
worn this spring than has been for many
seasons.
Hose suitable for summer costumes come
in all shades. either plain or fronts of
woven work, after the style of lace, finished
OF with hand embroidery.
The harlequin is of the newest. The
half-and-half colors are divided perpendic-
ularly, and come in white and black, pink
and black, lilac and black, or any color de-
sired.
Cotton stockings known as the '.cut'' can
be bought for 10 cents up. They are not
cheap" though the price is low. They
are seamless and the best thing of the kind
On the market.
Among the novelties in hose are those
which have toes like glove has fingers.
They are not destined to be popular be-
cause Of the bulk they cause, and even with
a neat fitting shoe they will hurt and ruin
the feet.
The Richelieu, ribbed, comes in any color.
1t has peculiar, yet handsome look, being
woven in alternate wide and narrow stripes,
giving the narrow piece between the effect
ofvelvet ribbon stripes.
The Grated is another of the latest. The
feet and trifie above the boot tops are of
one color, such as blue, red, yellow, olive,
ETC., with tops of black grated to the stock
ing proper in points, hand-worked with
dainty stitches.
The hose most popular at this time of
year. when wooden is too warm and Isle too
cool, is the medium weight cotton. A BEAU
tlful, nice-fitting stocking, coming in black,
all the garnet shades ranges from 25 cents
to $2.75.

When the Angel Smiled.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
A child found an angel grieving, and
being asked the cause of her woes the an
gel replied:
s'The funeral bells call me to the bedside
of a youth. Vice had already found lodg-
ment in his heart, and weep because |
cannot purify his soul before it enters the
presence of its Maker''
Again the child found the angel sorrow
ing and again she made inquiry
death beckOns me to the bedside of a
man in his PRIME" replied the angel, '.and
l fear for his souls salvation. He had a
heart OF stone, and his deeds of kindness
were never heard of in heaven"
The child walked forth once more. and
again the angel sat in fearful meditation.
''And will you never smile?" softly
asked the child, as she came nearer,
''ThiS time | am called to the death-bed
of an old man. He has lived his three
score years and ten, and the wickedness of
the world may have often tempted him."
The child fell Ill and walked forth no
more. Fever-burned and pain-racked, she
tossed on her bed for many days, but one
evening as the summer sun was sinking
away in the great blue ocean the fever
went away and the pains came no more
Then the child heard the rustic of wings
and the angel stood beside her-not weep
ing and lamenting as before, but smiling
and radiant
why are you here?" asked the child.
Because death will soon claim you,"
''But you wept for the youth, the man in
his prime and the old man."
AYE! but a soul without sin will be
carried in my arms to heavens gates this
night and the echoes Of the rejoicing will
be heard on earth''

How Women May Act and Yet Es-

keynote.

Keynote.
Actresses, like all other women, have to
obey certain laws of social life If girls
come up from the country, go into lodgings
alone and live without personal guardian
ship OF social protection of any kind, they
may be Unas and Virginias to the backbone,
but they will have to pass through the
mud heaps by the way, and
their experience will be more or
less abominable. Also they will be roughly
handled by the censOriOus and loosely re-
garded by the vicious The fact of being on
the stage does not emancipate a modest
girl from the conditions held necessary for
her social preservation elsewhere. And to
hold that one daughter may not go to ball
at private house without chaperOne and
another may live alone in lodgings, go on
the stage without protection and travel
about in a mixed company without the finn
SleSt pretense OF a caretaker, is stupidity
scarcely worth the trouble of discussing.
Girls have to be protected against their
own ignorance, from their innocence, their
very selves, until they have learned some
thing OF life and its dangers, and to know
the look of bird lime and how to avoid
springs and snares. 1t may not be possible
to incumber the side scenes with mothers,
and yet we know of instances where this is
done and where girls never set their pretty
feet inside the theater unaccompanied and
unprotected This is the main reason why,
in a family Of actors and actresses, bred to
the board from their birth, the women can
be, and are, as blameless as a nest full of
doves. Father and mother and brothers are
all there to watch, to guard, to check, to
protect-if need be, to avenge. They
themselves, these doves in tights and span
giles, know al the nets spread by outsiders
and the pitfalls dug behind the scenes and
they escape where others are caught and
fall in. They can even dress in those
tights and spangles. dispense with pet
ticoats, dance break-doWns and perform
acrobatic feats with their toes, with clear
eyes and pure conscience. They are so
accustomed to the whole thing from the
beginning that it is all impersonal and mere
business no more shocking to the moral
sense than is the low cut and sleeveless
bodice of the present day to the ordinary
lady. They have never had anything to
get over; consequently they have never
dropped part of their moral furniture in the
scramble. They were born ON the other
side of the leaping bar, and there is no more
difference between their modesty and that
of the primmest prude's than there Is be-
tween ours and the Chinese wOman's, who
holds it shameful exposure to show her
hands, while we have only gold cord and
bracelet for all covering from the shoulder
to the finger tips.

in these days of social strife and aggrandize-
ment, and a question that no one is quite
able to apswer'in a word 1t is not because
she is well dressed or even pretty: it is not
that her fairy godmother bestowed witty
tongue to amuse the billiards; it is not be-
cause she is rarely intelligent or highly ed
ucated, or so s'amiable" -no none Of these
desirable qualities would render the popu-
lar girl more popular than she is, though,
perhaps she is fortunate enough to possess
one or more of them for her stock in trade.
The girl everybody likes need have neither
money nor beauty, which, in the worlds
estimation, constitutes social power; but
she must have and does have gracious
manner, a certain graceful bearing, decided
intelligence. instructive generosity, and
above ALL the greatest gift ever awarded to
woman-personal magnetism.

value of Exercise.

Women are advised to exercise as though
that were the panacea for all evil. 1t isnot
exercise that is needed. A majority OF
women are now compelled to more exertion
than their system requires. Women need
| more amusement-a broader companionship
than is possible in the isolated home. Ex-
ercise is of small benefit unless accompanied
by pleasant exhilaration, and the adyant-
age to be derived from social intercourse
| largely depends upon whether or not the
people with whom one comes in contact are
regarded as sources of pleasure or OF pain.
The members of ones own household may
act preJudicially upon the health.
Statistics of the great lunatic asylums of
New York and Pennsylvania during period
OF years, show that the majority OF insane
women belong to the class whose physical
labor is most severe and their variety OF
social intercourse the most restricted. TO
the Isolated household with its deDllltatlng
and multifarious labors can large part OF
wOman's ill-health be traced. women live
TOO much within themselves Tor the highest
health. Solitude exerts depressing in
fluence upon mind and body. And yet even
TO young girls are amusements in the open
air amid companionship of an exhilarating
character denied. Those kinds OF exercises
requiring full, deep breathing, and prov0ca-
tive OF muscular development, are termed
hoydenish, and those young girls who so
Tar break over social bounds as to indulge in
them are regarded with OpprObrium as
romps and tomboys. To girls are also de-

what the Fond Mother Said.

From the Hartford Post.
The April sun, which had borrowed from
July some Of its intensity, was pyuring its
melting rays into the back yard of the
McGush family. Rosalind, with her hail
in crimping pins, sat on the back piazza
suggesting to her mother how the carpet
should be properly fiayed.
Il think, ma" said she sweetly, ''that
right on that breadth that was in front OF
the sofa there is some dust yet"
81 should say So When / was your age
young gentlemen knew enough to wipe the
mud off outside, rather than use the carpet
for door mat"
Rosalind, crushed, stole grievously into
the house and played ''Chopin's OPP. IS" in
the minor key.

Telling Time by the Eyes of a Cat.
From the Rochester Herald.
According to Pere Hue the Chinese used
the cat as a clock. s'They point out to
u.s." says the missionary, ''that the
pupil of it's eye contracted gradually
as noon drew near; that at
noon it was like hair or an extremely thin
line traced perpendicularly on the eye;
after midday the pupil began to decline.
When we had attentively examined the cats
in that place we concluded that it was past
noon. The eyes of all presented an exactly
similar appearance.

TRUE LOVE.

There is true love, and yet you may
Have lingering doubts about it;
I'll tell the truth, and simply say
That life's blank without it.
There is love both true and strong,
A love that falters never;
1t lives on faith and suffers wrong,
But lives and loves forever.
Such love is found but once on earth
The heart cannot repel it;
From whence it comes, or why its birth,
The tongue may never tell it.
c This love is mine, in spite of all
This love / fondly cherish;
The earth may sink, the skies may fall,
This love will never perish.
Tt is love that cannot die,
But, like the soul, immortal,
And with it cleaves the starry sky
And passes through the portal.
This is the love that comes to stay
And other loves are feeting;
And when they come just turn away
1t is but Cupid cheating.

SWEETHEART.

TITS the prettiest word
That ever was heard
From lover to his near one;
1t means much more
Than fifty score
Of darling, pet and dear one.
To lover tall
Doth it recall
His little lady slender;
Her cheeks ripe peach
His heart doth reach,
His heart both strong and tender.
And be her eye
Like summer sky,
Or. be it black and cleaning;
And be she small,
Or queenly tail,
This word for her is seeming.
Sweetheart, sweetheart,
If not one part
Be hers of beauty's power:
Her heart so true
Beats sweet for you,
You crave no fafrer dover.
If loved were I
And should die,
By him who'd learned to love me,
Might on my stone
Sweetheart" alone
Be sadly cut above me.
