take your choice. No. was at a small dance party given at 8 private house. It was late in the evening, and when the music had died away after waltz, and the dancers had seated themselves around the room, there, lying in open sight in the center of the room. lay beautiful blue silk garter. My first impulse was to step forward and pick it up and look for the owner, but was afraid she would not thank me for my trou- b!e, so the trinket lay where it was until a maid was actually gent with dust pan and brush, and the offending article was swept from the floor, while the guests tried vainly not to zee what was going on.
 At another party the oveTskirt of one of the ladies who was dancing collapsed and hung limp and formless where it had previ- ously swel!ed in triumphant pride. The cause of this sudden metamorphosis was the loss of newspaper, which was found on the floor, and when it was picked Up a hasty glance showed that the particular journal that had been dedicated to this purpose was the Christian at Work.
 THE HUSBANDS FAD MANNERS. They Arc Too Frequently the Cause of
 Many a Wife's Heartache.
 From the Atlanta Constitution.]
 A friend was spending the day with me the other day, and while she was here our pastor called. After he left the friend said:
 "Did you ever notice with what respect MT. Conrad speaks of his wife, and how courteous ly he treats her at all timesa'' I nodded as- sent and my friend went on:
 'I suppose my husband is es good a man as ever lived, but his mother did not train him to be courteous to ladies. His sisters were his slaves, and thereby he is a spoiled hns- band. I wish could train several hundred boys to be husbands for the next generation. Do you suppose they'd consider it their pre- rogative to drive the girls out of the easiest chair, take the sunniest corner of the room, the best place by the light, throw books pa pers or slippers down for some one to put away, grow up with the idea that wife must be valet and the rest of the household stand respectfully by 10 obey orders? You smile, but this is anything but subject to laugh over.
 1T really believe that husbands never think how their unkind words hurt. They don't realize the difference to us, for instance, in their monner when they come to dinner. All day the wife has been alone with the children and servants, and is more hungry for kind word from her husband than an epicurean feast. He comes in just as dinner bell rings. For a wonder dinner is once ready on time, the husband says. Couldn't he have saved the heart stab by saying:
 "'That's pleasant sound to hungry fellow and what hinders him from ada ing, what would be the milk and honey to weary soul all the rest of the day-nay, all the rest of her life-'You are a good wife, Cornelia.' And if dinner is not quite ready why need he say, Of course not never is.' In working notices for the home why hasn't some one taken Wesley's remark: I'd as soon swear as fret in- stead of hanging up T Need Thee Every Hour
 "When think I have 8 hard time I just think of tbe women who have no ser wants, but who themselves care for the children, wash, iron, cook, mend, churn, milk, carry wood and water, all for less than an Irish servant girls wages Of course men appreciate their wives; of course they do, but they keep their polite man- ners and courteous ways fer-other mems wives. One time James thanked me for saving him room beside me at the concert, and then sort of apologized for being po- lite by saying he thought it was my sister Maryn
