Then the ladies drifted into general
fashion talk and MIS-. S1epard's friend
asked her if she had ever worn the
divided skirt.
No" said Mrs. Shepard. and she said
it i'm way that indicated that she never
intended to, either. ITO be honest"
she went on, ''I'm not very enthusiastic
over dress reforms of any sort. L be-
leve that sensible woman will, as a
rule, dress herself senSibly, and GER
tainly the fashions of the present day

dividual taste in the matter Of DRESS"
Mrs. Shepard certainly puts her the
DRY into practice. for Oh this particular
morning no one could have been more
light soft silk of dark. rich red, all
covered over with a delicate, feathery
figure in black. The skirt was plain,
save for graceful drapery of airy
black thread lace. The waist was made
surplice fashion, shirred down to point
in front. Her bat was of cream TuS-
can, with airy trimmings of black gauze.

of a manly arm in the water than there

see the question has been somewhat
widely discussed whether the skirt is a
part of the swimming suit. 1t is not.
The suit is made all in one piece that
consists of waist and pair of neatly
fitting trousers that reach below the
knee. A Normandy cap of rubber
cloth, with bindings of bright ribbon,
completes the outfit. and the girls who

There are so many silly women who al
ways try to ape and toady to some
one who has little more gold, or
little more style, or a little po-

edge: they hear their aristocratic
neighbor talking about going to the sea-

condescending, matter-of-course tone:

Just why women OF this age will en-

There has been great deal of dis
cussion from time to time as to who was
the prettieSt woman in New York. The
discussion is rather senseleSs. it seems
to me. for New York is not famous for
pretty wemen. 1t is the Mecca of hand

question of supremacy in this line

CUSTOM IN GERMANY.
Girls Who Are Well Born Not Per-

mitted to Work for Their Liv-
ing.
AS custom will not permit a well-born
German girl to work for her living, and
as the number of noble families with
little property is large, a young lady
who suddenly found herself destitute
would have to face an embarrassing
problem in Germany, were it not for the
institutions peculiar to the land, and
known as stifts, which are intended for
the maintenance of destitute ladies of
high birth. Many of these have been
founded and endowed in SileSia and
SaXOny.
At the head of each is the Stifts-hof-
meisterin, who is appointed by the
crown, and whose Office gives her high
rank of precedence at court. The APP
pointment OF the ladies is In the hands
of committees, but each is required to
have certain number of quarterngS.
The ladies need not be orphan S; if their
parents are alive they spend so many
months year with them, and when
they marry a suitable dowry is pro-
vided. But the chances of marriage are
small, and in many cases they spend
their whole lives in the Stiff, and
dreary existence it is, as rule, there
being an almost entire lack OF Interests
and occupations.
The mere arrangements for living are

ences of opinion have always existed
and always will exist in mixed society
as to the merits of infant prodigies and
model spouseS; but in relation to the
shortcomings of domesticslthe ladies are
all but unanimous.
Now, the eyes of servants may be full
of notes. but are those of their employ
ers free from beams? 1t must be con-
fessed that the majority Of ladies do not
treat their dOmestics on the "Do-unto-
others-as-you would-they-should do I'M
to-you' principle. If there is any ground
for the saying that good husbands make
good wives, there is certainly equal
reason to expect that just and consider
ate employers will be faithfully served.
In the treatment of domestics, the
familiarity that breeds contempt should
be carefully avoided, but it is quite pos
sible to make those who d your behests
your friends without making them your
confidants. Be thoughtful for their COM
fort and welfare. Do not require too
much of them. Fancy yourselves SER

realize how they feel.

on the most comfortable scale. One
Stiff in particular is palatial. 1t was
built about 200 years ago in the Italian
style, with a grand approach of terrace
and steps. Within is great marble
hall, with magnificent staircases on
either side. On the first floor is a sa-
loon forty feet high, with painted
ceiling, and on the same floor are the
guests rooms and the meisterin'S apart
ments.
The ladies are lodged above, the
seniors having two rooms each. They
all furnish their own rooms themselves
They have their private laundry, their
maids and their carriages, and, in fact,
every luxury to which their birth may
be considered to entitle them.

but prevents the metal top from rust
ing. Ii such cautions are neglected,
the metal soon becomes unslghtly; we
all know the liability of salt TO engen-
der rust. In damp weather it often
seems difficult to keep these Sprinklers
in working order; but they are so much
cleaner and more convenient than the
open salt cellars that their use fully re-
pays the trouble.
In filling them, if the salt has been
put near the fire to dry, it should al
ways be allowed to become perfectly
cool before it is put into the sprinklers,
for, if put In warm, it will harden into
a cake. In the nicer sprinklers little
jagged piece of plated metal is loose in
side: this shakes about with the salt
and prevents it from hardening. These
little things need good deal of atten-
ton; a table soon looks slovenly if the
salt and pepper boxes are ill-fllled, the
sauce and vinegar bottles stained with
drbletS of their contents, and the water
carafe obviously clouded. Some of the
