morning for several days with her bead
coated with q sort Of paste, and this process
had to be repeated every month, as the

This hair-dying business is by no means q

the unfortunate lady aforesaid submitted

by q fashionable hair-dresser. A bottle Of
the most potent and popular Of the blonde

Of these dyes destroy the hair, causing 1t to

means uncommon But the sufferer usually

On the Pedestal of DisaSrecableness.
Thackeray even, who, with his large
knowledge Of the world and Of the human
heart, might have been expected TO be more
lenient to the unfortunate race Of mothers
in-iaw, goes out of his way to draw the hor-
ribie Mrs Mackenzie, .pitying his sweet,
silly little Rosie, and the much-injured
wives Of her acquaintance, without reflect
| ing that they might in their turn become
| mothers law. Does not this fact furnish
food for reflection to the young husbands Of
to-day, who a quarter Of a century hence
may find their loving wives unavoidably
drifting into mother-in lawhoodf And again
ID It not rather UNI easonable in young
man to OBJ Jet to her who has had the great
est share in molding the character and
training the habits of the one woman he
has chosen from all others 70 be his COM
panion for lifei How strange it is, when
one looks the question in the face, that
lady who is considered harmless enough
until her children marry. should after that
happiest Of family events be elevated to
such painful pedestal Of disagreeablenes.
As matter of fact, in spite of all that
novelists and play wrights have written, the
mothers-inlaw Of sons generally get on with
them far better than with their daughters
in-law.-Casseli's Family Magazine
Immunity From the Carpet Worm.
This is the time of the year when house
keepers begin to wage war against that
dreaded enemy, the buffalo moth, or carpet
worm A correspondent says:
Il have never, during my twenty years Of
housekeeping, had moth of any descrip-
ton, and attribute my immunity entirely
to the use of turpentine After each of my
carpets is well swept, it is at once gone over
with the following mixture: To three quarts
Of pure cold water add three tablespoonfuls !
Of turpentine In this thoroughly saturate
q sponge, squeeze about two thirds dry, and |
go over each breadth separately and in all |
the corners As often as the water becomes /
soiled take fresh supply. You will be |
surprised to see how beautifully it will |
cleanse your carpets, besides being one of |
the best disinfectants. My father, an emf |
nent physician, had this always practiced |
in his family, and we were never troubled |
with fevers any more than noths-Phila-

Social Duties Absorb Domestic Ones.
There are many society slaves who drudge /
incessanty for a place in the circle. and yet |
do not feel the fetters; SO many hours of |
precious afternoons are given to the labor
Of paying calls" and many more, as
Emerson said, allowing Indifferent acquaint-
ances to devastate the day, giving constant |
thought to the revision of ores toilet and |
the improvement of ones visiting list There
are too many who have not time for the in
nocent delight of their children in the nur-
sery; no time for reading anything beyond
the last novel; social duties absSib domestic
ones We heard lady remark last week
Of her infant, who is only few weeks old:
"Pocr little dear! I declare haven't had
peep at him since 10 o'clock this morning"
1t was then 4 O'Clock in the afternoon But,
so many calls to make, % much to do"

Features of y Boston Drawing Room.
A lady who devotes much time and en-
ergy to adorning her own fair person and
the shrine consecrated to it, recently gave
an afternoon tea in drawing room which
had some peculiar features 1t was lighted |
with a pale, bright light, which, falling
through delicately tinted lamp glasses, gavs
. pearly tinge to everything. Chairs anG
sofas were mufIlsd;up unlimited covers Of
white wool, so soft and curly in its effects
rs to initiate the fleece Of q young lamh |
Some were fastened on with knots of deli
cate blue and pink ribbona These wooen
houses" looked really elegant, and had the
aspect of freshly fallen snow. Tho mantel
was arranged to initiate q gilt rush basket,
and was bordered with moss from which
crocuses peeped out At each end of this
mantel basket was a bow of ribbon, large

Where Parents Rights Are Respected.
Il know one family where the parents
rights are respected" said a social philos-
opher, where the children do not rule, and
where the mother and father are really first
in the household They are that in theory
everywhere, Of course, but everybody
Knows that in nine cases out OF ten they are
quite at the end Of the list In this model
family the children 60 to bed at childish
hours Tho two eldest children never think
Of offering to stay mp a minute after their
mother says IS o'clock Tho third one
trots of at Z O'Clock without an idea that
it would be possible for him to stay up
later, and the four months old baby goes
to sleep as soon as her mother has dined,
and never deigns to wake up, even il the
house is filed with music and dancing and
laughter. That mother has q will Of her
own, anu degree OF Seu-reSpect winch
would make it as impossible for her chill
dren to try and go against her will as it
would be for them to fly. She never in
dulges them; that is she never refuses them
a pleasure first only to give it TO them for
teasing afterward, and she never changes
her mind about either consent or refusal
Her children love her all the more that they
have hearty wholesome awe Of her

4 Very One-Si6ed Arrangement.
1t is often said when young wife seems
to be living in style rather beyond her
husband means: Il do not blame her for
having these things if she can get them 1t
is nothing 10 her whether they are paid for
or not That Is her husbands look out IL
Is for her to have what she can get in the
way OF dress and servants aad furnish

But Is not that making OF the holy ordin-
ance of marriage q very one-sided arrange
ment, Having once accepted a mans lot,
Is it not her duty to conform her manner to
it, as long as he is doing his loving duty by
herr Il Is doubtless hard. of;entimes, for
petted daughter who has been surrounded
by loving caro- all her life, TO be suddenly
confronted with the responsibilities Of

limited means, and harder still il the hus-
band prove not perfectly sympatnixinS and
