Sometimes" writes Oliver Wendell
Holmes of the true wife, 81 have seen a tall
ship glide by against the tide as If drawn
by some invisible bowiine, with u hundred
strong arms pulling It. Her sails were I'M
filled, her streamers were dropping, she had
neither side wheels nor stern wheel; still
she moved on stately, in serene triumph,
as with her own life, But know that on
the other side of the ship, hidden beneath
the great bulk that swan so majestically,
there was little toilsome steam tug, with
heart of fire aud arms of iron, that was
tugging it bravely on, and l knew if the
little steam tug untwined her arm and
left the ship it would wallow and roll about
and drift hither and thither, and go of
with the reluent tide no man knows
whittier. And so have known more than
one genius, high decked- full freighted
full sailed, gay pennoned that, but for the
bare toiling arms and brave, warm beat
ing heart of the faithful wife that nestles
close TO him so that no wind or wave could
part them, would have gone down with
the stream and have been heard Of nc
more.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
HOW TO MAKE PRETTY OTTOMANS
FOR THE BEDROOM.
Cost of Tailor Made Dress-Value of
Soap for the Face-The Science of
"Making Eyes"-Dreamy Cuban
Mountaineering for the Baby.

For bedroom use nothing is more con
venient than one or more low ottomans.
AS seat before the dresser for hair dress
ing purposes it is preferable to a chair, and
whenever low chair would be used in
making ones toilet an ottoman is equally
suitable. Upholstered and with springs
ottomans are cutie expensive affairs, but
almost any one can get up useful and
pretty one with little ingenuity and labor
Grocers generally have boxes that are right
as to size and shape for such bit Of fur
nishing, so IL foundation can easily be pro-
cured.
If merely a seat is wanted, box turned
upside down is the beginning, and the COW
ering may be Us varied az individual tastes
can make it. Excelsior should be put over
the top to pad it out comfortably, md over
this a piece of ticking or stout muslin
should be tackled to hold it in place and
make it easier to fit ON the outer cover. If
the box is smooth enough the sides can be
stained and tassel fringe of silk, cotton
or wool put on as deep as the box itself.
Plush, turcoman OF the velour squares in
pattern may be used as top covering.
The cretonnes that come in tapestry designs
are very pretty, with cotton tassel fringe.
If the ottoman is to be utilized for a shoe
on and the inside must be made neat and
presentable by silisia lining If shoes are
to be kept in it pockets can be put around
the four sides for holding them. Casters
may I've added also to move it easily. A
cover that is pretty for room where Gre
tonne is used is of the same material, with
very full frill plated on and short fluffy
fringe added for heading and as finish
at the bottom of the frill also. Big square
headed brass tacks are the prettiest things
to fasten the frill and fringe or gimp to the
box. The good effect and usefulness Oh
such an ottoman will we'll repay the out
lay of money time and labor spent on con
structing it.-Washington Star.

The Dreamy Cuban Woman.

The Cuban woman goes through the
world in an easy, shiftloss sort of way,
lounges only too gracefully in hammock
or lolls in her rocking chair, her mind in
tont On only one iden-how TO keep cool
Thu sSrace of the woman is set off by the
marvellous way with which she uses her
fan. Not for a moment is it at rest it
futters, waves idly, is opened and shut in
the space of second falls to the side, and
again rises TO take part in the converse
ton. The type of the face which beams
above every fan in Cubnn high life is diff
cult to describe. The complexion varies
from olive to white; deep black hair is the
prevalent hue; but the eyes Luminous,
dreamy, so large, dark and vivid. La SEN
orita with her certain cbildlike frankness,
but with a provoking richness and fire OF
nature in her features, ensnarcs many q
heart as she sits at her open window twirl-
ing her fan and watching the curling smoke
from her cigarette, and, while she is kept
under the strictest surveillance, she is a
woman, and romantic and many are the
proofs that "stoue walls do not prison
make. Cor Louisville Courier-Journal

The Science of "nIaking Eyes"

Woman chosen weapon is the eye, and
an important feature of this new system
from abroad is education in the use of that
lovely organ. Within a certain range the
female of our species has an instructive per
ception of the manner in which her optical
apparatus should be employed upon her
Complimentary creature in pantaloons; but
science has reduced the subject to exact
terms. Charts have been prepared-Wash
ington girls are studying tbem-showing
that the eye has 729 distinct expressions,
conveying as many shades of mean
ing. The proper thing to do is to procure
one of these charts, and reproduce with
your own eyes the 729 expressions before a
mirror. When you have mastered them
all, try them on other people and see how
they work
1t is peculiarly imagined that the eyeball
itself is an expressive thing, but, as a mat
ter of TACT, the ball of the eye has scarce
any EXPRESSION at all. That all depends

The lower lid expresses, by it's drawing up
or otherwise, the senses. The eyebrows

ever, is only the beginning. Certain it
would appear that young ladies of the
future, trained to make eyes on exact prin-
ciples, will be much more seductive Great

Xaiuc of Snnn for tho Face.

I went once to a doctor to consult him
about a slight eruption on my face, and
what do you think he told me? That it
was probably owing to dirt / dirty, with
my cold baths in the morning! was furi-
Gus, but when he explained himself was
forced to acknowledge that he might be
right. He seid; "In the first place, good
many people do not use soap On their faces,
claiming that it Injuries the skin. Now,
soap is absolutely necessary to remove the
eXudatiOns Of the skin, and the face GER
tainly has more of these than the hands,
and good CASTLE soap will not hurt any
face Then most of you fill basin with
water, soap yourself wash and rinse
in it. Why, cont you see you are
washing in the dirt you try to re-
move? And very little of it does come
off, but, mingled with soapsuds, stays
On to dry and irritate the skin. The way
10 do is TO soap and wash yourself in the
FIRST basinful, rinse out your washrag, then
In fresh basinful wash without soap and
rinse in still third water. BY this time
you will be really clean. Clothes are never
fresh and white, no matter how well
washed, if they are not rinsed. Better one
such washing day than half a dozen
smears. And never wash just before being
exposed to the air"
[ went home and thought the matter
over The advice was all / had for my
three dollar visit, and / finally concluded
that l might as well teke it. In week
there was a decided difference, and people
began to remark the improvement in my
complexion. The first few trials left me
feeling as if had been fayed, but the skin
gradually gained the silky texture peculiar
to babies. ! told number of women OF
this simple remedy, and it never failed in
any case to do good.-Interview in New
