crossed surplices on the bosoms in en-

A Little Friendly Advice.


There are several "don'ts" which
should be observed whenever two or
moro women are gathered together,
but which, alasl are frequently disre-
garded For instance, don't say to n
friend: "How stout you are growing"
No lady likes to be told that she is
growing or has grown stout II 1t bea
fact, she is doubtless quite well aware
of it, and anxious to keep others from
discovering it. Don't say: "iow thin
you are," either, for both women and
men loathe TO be told that they are
either stout or thin. Unless you can
say: "How well you are looking" 1t is
better to make no remark on the person
al appearance OF your friond. Don't tell a
friend who has on a particularly becom-
ing gown or bonnet that she looks ten
years younger in that than in any thing
you have ever seen her wear. Don't
tell her, either, that II is the most be-
coming thing you have ever seen her
wear, That is an impeachmcnt-ot her
tasto heretofore, though you probably
have no Suph tbouaht -DresS
