the most deplorable conSequences-not
only for the lives of the persons directly
interested, but also for society at large.
A committee was appointed to deal with
the matter. and the meeting referred to
has done much to infuSe new life into
this movement
Baden appears to have taken the lead
as regards the erection of housekeeping
schools and classes. A model school in
this respect is the LOuiseSchule at Carls-
ruhe. Besides considerable amount
OF theoretical teaching, the pupils are
thoroughly instructed in all kinds of
needlework, land learn. both theoretically
and practically, everything connected
with housekeeping.
Travelling Cooking Glasses.
OF greater Importance for the poorer
classes are, however, the perambulating
housekeeping and cooking classes after
the Swiss fashion. These classes. which
last six or eight weeks, are generally
held in towns where there is no special
occasion to erect stationary schools. A
portable kitchen presented by the
Grand Duchess of Badem and kitchen
utensils, which are sent from place to
place, greatly facilitate the holding of
such classes in a number of places
which could not otherwise have profted
from them.
Another model school is the one es-
tabliShed two years ago at PfOrZheim.
which receives groWnup girls, both
from town and country, in order to
teach them all the different kinds of
work of modest and orderly home.
The practical teaching is supported by.
the regulations of the house, which iae-.

tice this latter quality, it may be men,
toned that it manages to supply nour-
ishing and fully sufficient dinner, with
good deal of variety, from II pr. to %

How 1t Is Supported. 81
The school receives donations from
the corporation and the guardians Of the
poor, from private charitable institu-
tons, various employers. ETC., and has
also prospects o. attaining aid from the
government and from some country
parishes in the neighborhood. Similar
schools have either already been started,
or are in course of erection, at Hanover,
Halberstadt and Frankfort-on-the-M Main.
In addition to the regular instruction,
there are also evening and Sunday
classes for female workers, who other
wise would be unable to attend. Cheap
eating houses and aundrieS are gener-
ally connected with these schools.
Schools in Factories.
Besides the schools supported by the
corporation and charitable institutions,
good many large manufacturers have
begun to establish similar institutions
at their works, very often in connection
with ''homes," where the female hands
can obtain cheap board and lodging.
One of the best known and oldest insti-
buttons is at A. Probst's works, at In
menstadt, which 'Madchen-Anstalt' has
already existed for ten years. A num-
Der of large Dresden manufacturers
provide gratis instruction to their female
laborers in nredlework, etc., and place
sewing machines and other appliances
at their disposal. The classes generally
end with small exhibitions of the work.

cause the number of hapgers-on at the
place impeded business to such an ex-
tent that he could not receive proper
attention.
One of the most persistent of bores is
the professional street beggar, who,
without that knowledge of human char
acter which is supposed to be a pre-
requisite to success in that line of bust
ness, unhesitatingly tackles the impe-
cunious newspaper reporter on Thurs
day, and on being told Il have no
change" continues to walk along the
street abreast the poor penny-a-iiner,
and only surrenders his ungodly grip
when he meets a more promising look
ing customer.
But, then, there are so many who
merit the title of bore that an entire
sheet Of newspaper would not suffice
to speak of them. Thore is the office
bore, the society bore, the female bore
(who never can finish her good-bys), the
base ball crank, the fellow that knows
everything and lot more like him.

muscles contract with violence, and
bursts of laughter follow. which. in
turn, die away as the energy produced
bv the nervous excitement is expended.
The laughter born of mental excitement
raises more subtle and interesting is
sues. 1t involves, incidentally, an eX-
PLANTATION of the comic, and leads to the
question, Gin what does the ludicrOuS
consists The cruel smile on the face
of the dentist might arise perhaps from
the operators sense of superiority to his
suffering patient; but the laughter
which is caused by mimicry. for exam
pie, or a play upon words, needs an
other explanation.
Whatever is out of harmony with its
environments, whatever is miSerably
Inadequate to the end it serves, is pro-
yOcatiye of laughter. In the natural
world there is hardly touch of the
ludicrous. Trees Or flowers are rarely
seen in homogeneous positions. They
rarely violate the recognized fitness of
things. Defects of character are far
more fruitful source of amusement. He
who DISPLAYS qualities. either good or
bad. which do not belong to his station
or disposition appears in comic light to
a majority of men.

poem when she d0nS yellow gown. A
yellow frock and yellow fan have
been known to transform rather plain
blonde into vision of almost perfect
loneliness. How could it fail to be so?
All the lines of blonde beauty are fair
and sunny. Why, then, should it not
follow that they are set off to the best
advantage and brought into most ad-
mirahle prominence by similar tints?
To my mind like has as much attraction
for like in the law of beauty as in that
of love, for l am not one of those who
believe in the doctrine that people are
attracted by their opposites.
But it must hot be supposed that pre-
cisely the same shade of yellow will
suit every blonde. There are many
types of blonde beauty-as many as
there are shades of Scarlet-each wholly
different ard distinct from all the
others. In dressing blonde in yellow
the point is to frame her beauty in that
shade which shall harmonic perfectly
with it.
It used to be thought that light blue
was the color par excellence for blondes.
Now. modisteS. who are artists in color
as well, are awakening to the fact that
blue is chilling to blonde beauty, which
needs the tints of the sun and not those
of the sky to give it warmth. 1t is the
brunette, with her own rich warmth OF
color, who may beeomingly wear even
that SHADE of blue so long considered
sacred to babies.

Cruelty. hypocrisy and uginess are
not the only qualiti es which can rob the
homogeneous of its laugh. Ignorance
and lack of experience may invest the

tory Of the Scoed Buggy Company, land that no other

which the sale Of the Daisy buggy has been at
tended, certain manufacturers and dealers in other
and inferior buggies have endeavOred to gain for
themselves, by the use Of the name Daisy buggy"
an advantage to which they are not entitled. The
unlawful and fraudulent use of the term {" Daisy
buggy" by the said persons has caused damage to
the Scofield Buggy Company and to the trade and
the public.
