Lovely women,s Unselfashness.

Lovely w OsMeH'S OnSelflShneSS.
The unselfshness of women with the
men they love has passed into proverb,
and when reckoning up the work accom-
pllshed by great men few take into account
all the labor of their wives, whose toll goes
into the general fund and gets itself called
by their husbands name. He gets all the
credit, and she gets-well, she probably
gets the reward of an approving conscience,
with which she has to content herself. 1t

Fans and Knick-Knacks.

White lawn neckties for ladies have bow
aud fasten behind.
The popular transparent fans are made of
silk gauze of the sheerest quality, and are
quite appropriately called filtration fans.
Lace bows are fashionable neck gear, but
only those in which the lace is used in a lib
eral fashion are satisfactory.
Grape fans powdered with spangles are very
effective in the evening.
A big bow of tulle under the chin is becom-
ing to almost any wearer of bonnets. since
one may choose whatever color one likes and
they are easily replaced, as they cost so little.
a little crystal locket inclosing a four
leaved clover 'sfor luck" is a late fancy.
1t is the day of little things in jewelry. A
small diamond sells much more readily now
than large one, and rubies, which are al
ways more valuable than diamonds, are pre-
ferred by people who don't care to be sus-
pected of wearing paste.
Broad white ties of null or French lawn.
datntily embroidered on the ends, are again
very fashionable for neckwear.

Engagement, Rings,

In an article on engagement rings a
French writer says: do not choose the
ruby; it is too snowy, loud and indiscreet
Good taste inclines toward the sapphire and
the diamond, of which the one does not go
well without the other. Do not choose a
large sapphire, surrounded by diamonds
but ask your jeweler artist to interlace in
happy combination the sapphire and the
diamond. The turquoise is also a tasteful
stone, but when it is constantly worn it has
the immense disadvantage to change color
and to this change most women attach sad
and sentimental superstition. 1t should
not, therefore, be chosen for the first
present, which is to be worn and cherished
while life lasts, and which remains from
the days of youth while everything else

Gobelin tapestry is the correct thing to

This Generation.
New York Mail and Express.
The selection by the president Of the
fourth day of the week for his marriage has
occasioned considerable talk among those
| who believe in superstitions. The follow
ing doggerel is an old Scotch rhyme that is
not often quoted nowadays. The idea of
! Wednesday being the best day for we'd
| ding is all that now remains; but it will be
| seen each day has its own peculiar trait
| the first three days of the week being of
good omen and the last three ill-omened.
| The lines RIM thus:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no day at all.
| In Judea rainy day has always been
considered unlucky for wedding. 1t will
| b9 remembered how many weddings were
| this year crowded into the last in April in
consequence of the lateneSs of the close of
Lent. The reason assigned at that time
was that May was the unlucky month of
! weddings, and rather than wait until June,
| the events of the marriage season were
| thus crowded into one week. This idea in
regard to May is likewise of very ancient
origin. Sir Walter Scott, in writing of the
custom, says: 1.-The Scottish people, even
of the better rank, avoid marriage in the
! month of May, which general season of
! flowers and breeZes might, in other respects,
appear SO peculiarly favorable for that pur-
pose"
1t was especially objected to the marriage
of Mary with the profigate Earl of Both
well that it was formed within the inter-
dicted month. This prejudice was so rooted
among the Scots that in 1854 set of en-
| thusiasts, called Gibbtes proposed to ridi-
| cule it and embraced it, among long list
| of stated festivals, fast days. pOpiSh relics
and other peculiarities which they de-
nounced. The objection to soemnize mar
riage in the merry month of May, however
| fit a season for courtship, is borrowed from
the Roman pagans. The ancients have
given us the maxim, ''Mala nubent Maia, :"
that it is only bad women who marry in
May. The parties to marriage may Sc
lect the month and day of the celebration,
| but it is rather difficult task to choose the
day of ones birth. Yet these, too, have a
| meaning.

Singing as q PhysicaI Exercise.

A physician is quoted as follows in
the New York Mail and Express on
this subject: Other things being
equal, there's no occupation so condu-
Give to general good health and long
living as singing. 1t doesn't make a
particle of difference that lots of pro-
fessional singers die early in life The
hard lives they lead, travelling from
place to place, keeping ell kinds OF
hours, eating all kinds of food, and
enduring ALL kinds OF exposure, would
break them down anyway ii they had
constitutions of steel. In fact, it is
an argument for the truth of my theo-
ry that professional singers are able to
live as long as they do and be as heal
thy as they are.
If they stayed in one place, kept
regular hours and lived like civilized
beings. they would be the longest
lived class of people in the world, and
the healthiest, too; though, of course,
as long as there were other singers
alive, they wouldn't be the happiest.
You see if person is taught to sing
properly in the beginning, and then
keeps 1t up regu. arly, the effect is Ger
tain to be very beneficial in all the
vital organs. For instance, to begin
with, the pupil is taught to breathe as
he should, and as very few persons do;
that is, by the deep, abdominal method,
lifting and lowering the diaphragm
and filling out the entire lungs below
the chest. That develops the lungs,
and brings all their surface into action,
insures pure blood, and a strong and
regular action of the heart. Then the
act of singing, by which the lungs are
filled to their utmost capacity in the
way have described and then slowly
emptied over and over again, is q
splendid exercise for those organs.
Nothing, in fact, could be better. Then
tho action Of the diaphragm being
pressed strongly downward, and of the
walls of the stomach being pressed out
ward, have a certain effect upon the
digestive organs and help to keep them
in tone. Added to all this the public
singer, il he or she be endowed with
the true artistic instinct, has kind OF
physical frenzy in singing that throws
off great deal of magnetism. Of
course it often leaves the performer
weak and exhausted at the end of the
program, but it is like the athlete on
the bars. The exhaustion is a good
sign if it is not carried too far Alter
rest and recreation the performer
always feels the better for it.
