called out all together. Don't you know her
nameW
"You see, girls" she answered, "Mr Brent
is SO very discreet that he never makes a
blunder. He can hear everything and say
nothing. AS I said, it does not concern you,
nor me either, only Mr.. Brent thought it did
We shall not speak of the matter again.
No,o, Mr.. Brent, shall we have our little
walk in the garden"
He rose with them trying to find a word
which might enable him to play the part she
assigned him; but none came. Only as they
descended the flight of steps into the grounds
he managed to whisper in her ear, "You are
the cleperest Uomdn eper kne,o"
She turned upon him with look full Of

"My good man." she whispered back, in
accents of the utmost scorn, don't trouble
yourself to say what am. You are a great

Manners from Books of Etiquette.


True politeness is always unassuming,
but people who learn their manners from
books OF etiquette often make themselves
ridiculous in attempting to show off their
fancied superiority. At lunch in Wash
ington recently a distinguished prelate sat
next to a young lady who is spending her
first winter In the capital He was eating
his ices with spoon, when he was for a
moment struck dumb by her remark, loud
enough to be heard by others, "Oh, why
don't you use forkf 1t isn't polite to eat
ices with spoon.
When he had recovered his breath, he re-
Piled, in the softest and most amiable tone,
My dear child, am sorry it is not nice !,
but l was brought up to eat ices with a
spoon, and uni ortunately am too old to
forget"
similar incident occurred at dinner.
An army officer of high rank, while en-
gagged In an animated conversation with his
vis-a-vis, inadvertently stuck a three
pronged fork into his oysters The hostess
Immediately cried out, "Oh, general, use tho
smaller fork"
From the grim look which settled upon
fancied that he was preparing Tor q bait 10
charge but he said ne'er a word and he
did not tarry long after the dinner
Both the general and the prelate wsrs
probably aware, however, that they had
only neglected to observe a mere caprice Of
fashionable society, and that they had not
violated any law of genuine good breeding

The Line of Deinarcation.

One OF the most encouraging signs OF the
times is that the line of demarcation be-
tween house and walking costumes is grow
ing more and more distinct The canon OF
good taste in this respect has been notori
ously disregarded, even by those who might
have been supposed to know better Bright
coors, it l., true, are still to be seen on the
streets, but women with refined feeling have
set their faces like flint against the use of
them AMI choose tints Of the least con.
sIicuousness for outdoor toilettes On tho
other hand, home and ceremonious dress
increases in richness This is in accordance
with the eternal fitness of things 1t is the
high prerogative of woman to adorn herself
for the home and drawing room, where she
holds intercourse with her Equals in the
social sphere; and it is equally her province
to lie modest AMI inconspi uou3 in her street
attire, where she comes IN contact with the
pro lis :uous crowd, who may jostle her at
every turn. New York Commercial Adver

What u Mother Should Do.

1t is part OF the average mothers creed
that her child can do no wrong. If she
doesn' t acknowledge it, she feels it and acts
upon it and is lull, d into false security by
it, until her children have very likely &C
quired evil habits of which she little dreams
and which will curse them for lifetime
The common school is good thing, but
children do not mbibe unmixed blessed
ness therefrom They are quite liable to
meet other children from families of lax
morals or none at all, who will teach
them bad words and impure thoughts and
actions, by which they will be greatly
harmed, albeit secretly unless the wise
mother forestalls ally such danger by plain
and unequiv ocal teaching, both moral and
physiological How much better for girl
or boy to learn the truth from the pure lips
of a loving mother than from ioulmouthed
and ignorant companions, in whose obscene
Conversations are blended about ten grains
oil error to one of truth
And in the matter of drinking and smok-
ing does not a boy always learn before his
mother knows It'll If every mother would
stuly ply siology little, learn just what
effect alcohol and nicotine have ON the hu.
man system, espe ialy the stomach an |
brain, and teach the same to her boys, it Is
altogether probable that few of them, COM
paratively, would ever willingly take such
enemies into their mouths And girls SHOULD
be taught the same that they m y in turn
teach their children and set good example
in society. Good books on alcohol and to.
Dacco are easily obtainable; if you don't
know of one ask your minister or ply stefan
what to get Minneapolis Housekeeper.

Thinks Love Is Pay Enough.

In all our marriage services, if l remem-
Der rightly, some such stipulation is ma lie
as ndel stand it, the principal part Of the
contract. Let those wives VINO are camor-
ing for pay ask thcmsel les ii they under
stood this part of their obligation. Let
them ask -hoIr womeus hearts If they know
what love is. l. they do not they are not
wives, and if they do they will be patient.
Tennyson says in "Locksley Hall"
Love took up the harp OF life and smote on
all its strings with might
Smote tie chord Of self that trembling
passed in music out of sight

husband at so many dollars and cents has
not lost self in her love for him wife

AHint for the sleepIes..

Year ago l learned in school that man,
woman or child should not eat any thing for
"three or four hours before retiring" Did
I believe a word Of all that If l did,
certainly id not live up to my belief" for,
every night, the last act which performed
before the door Of my chamber shut me In
from mortal ken, was to pay a visit to q
certain pantry, which still lives in my mem
DRY, the embodiment of all things toothsome
and good, where made such use of my OPP
portunities that if the sleep that followed
was not the sleep of the just" it certainly
was the sleep Of the well fed Now all this
does not mean that we should become ''glut-
tons or wine bibbers" or even invite noe
turnal visits Of our deceased grandmother
by the too free use Of mince pie, but it GER
tainly does mean that to secure good sleep
We must use our stomachs fairly, and give
them something to do, which very doing
will have a tendency to draw the blood
from the brain. If a cracker will accom-
plish this, let it be only a cracker; if cup
of milk see to it that the cup of milk is
forthcoming

The frequent invitations every woman re-
ceives to run in and spend the morning
with me- gives a forcible suggestion of how
little any one must have to do who can
afford to take the golden hours Of the day
for social recreation. The Hin loos have a
custom, when detained too long by prosy
or untimeiy visitor, of rising and saying
courteously, 80, and come again" The
guest never thinks of resenting the decidedly
broad hint but, receiving it in the spirit in
which it is offered, makes his adieu While
the introduction of this habit into America
may nol 10 altogether practicable, it would
be well if the plea of pressing occupation
could be accepted by one woman from an
other in the same manner that similar ex-
cuses are exchanged between business men.
