prnrressira Conversations.

A new amusement particularly adapted
to the traditional talent of fair women IS
the progressive conversation party, q"
which had its birth in the east. Its popu-
laritv is established by its possibilities to
entertain any number of guests, though
more than twenty cannot be easily man
aged. It's modus operandi Is somewhat as
follows: As many chairs as are required
by the number of guests invited are ar
ranged in pairs in a continuous line, one
behind the other, and are yoked together
with broad ribbons of different colors. The
topics Of conversation for the evening are
announced on the invitation cards.
A card on which is written topic Of
conversation is tied with narrow ribbon
to the connecting ribbons on the chairs,
and tally cards, as in progressive eucher,
with tiny ribbon bow which matches the
colors on the chairs, are arranged for both
ladies and gentlemen, as in the game when
PLAYED with cards. When all the guests
have drawn card they take their seats ac-
cording to the color designated by the
tally card, the ladies on the left and the
gentlemen on the right, the hostess taps a
bell, and the buzz of conversation begins.
Ten minutes are allowed for each topic,
and the topic on each set of chairs differs
from all the others. The judges chosen
pass down the line and criticise, and at the
end of the time specified slEx a gold star
on the card of the best conversationalist, a
silver star on the card of the vanquished.
The entire company change seats, the gen.
tleman retreating one seat, the lady adj
vancing one, and the buzz begins again.
When ten changes have been made ten
topics dished up and discussed, the person
having the greatest number of gold stars
is the winner.-Chicago News.

nan, -. Afraid of Pink SMEAR

A great many housekeepers do not I'M
derstand the use of pink sugar in cake. A
tri-colored cake is very ornamental Make
one layer of pink, one Of white. and one of
yellow cake. The same rule serves for all,
using half of pink sugar and half of white
sugar for the pink layer; the yolks of three
eggs in the golden layer, and the whites
alone in the white layer. The angel cake
rule is a very nice one for this purpose. A
layer of crab apple jelly, of white frosting
favored with orange juice or almonds, or
layers of chopped raisins or chopped figs,
may be used between the layers, and a
thick white icing should cover all. Pink
sugar costs but ten cents pound. and can
be bought at any first class confectionery
1t is too deeply colored to be used wholly,
but is perfectly harmless, being colored
with cochineaL-New York Tribune.

An mnlished Telegrapher.

Perhaps the only society woman in New
York who has any practical knowledge of
telegraphy is Mrs. Coils, wife of Gen.
Charles H. I. Coils, ex-general, ex-banker
and present insurance magnate. Mrs.
Coils, who is a strikingly handsome wom-
an, unusually accomplished, may really
be considered an expert at the art of tele-
graphing. She learned when Gen. Coils,
then banker, had n private wire connect
ing his New York and Philadelphia offices
with his handsome Fifth avenue residence.
Mrs Coils learned to telegraph that she
might have little snatches of conversation
with her husband during business hours
or his occasional bsences in Philadelphia,
and so thoroughly did she acquire knowl-
edge that Gen. Coils declares that no tel
egraphic expert can click a message over
the wire with greater skill and frmness
than his pretty wife can wire PLEASE send
me a check. New York Press.

To Wash Blankets.

In washing wooden blankets, to avoid
shrinkage do not have the different wa
tiers Of widely different degrees Of heat,
and do not apply soap directly to them
The best way is to dissolve two table
spoonfuls of bOrax in hot water, and add
the solution to a tub half full of very hot
water; put in the blankets and let them
remain one hour, stirring often and rub
bling with the hands, but never on wash
board. Squeeze them out Of this suds,
prepare another water of the same temper
allure, containing but one tablespoonful OF
borax, and enough fine white soap to make
a nice suds; immerse the blankets and re-
peat the same process of cleaning as at
first. Afterward rinse through two clean
waters, of the same temperature as the
others, and dry.-Good Housekeeping.

Right Eating and the Complexion.

Good diet, not limited, should be the rule,
for eruptions in young people are quite as
apt to indicate debility and call for gener-
Gus diet as the contrary. No ham, bacon,
salt beef or salt fish, fat gravies, lard pies
or buildings of the roly poly order, should
be allowed girls desiring good compilations.
If they can eat four to ixlarge juicy pears
every day they are in seasonit will do much
for digestion and bloom. If the appetite is
capricious follow its caprices till baths and
wholesome bread regulate it. Keep good
courage.
1t may take three TO six months or a
year to cure the trouble, but / do not be-
lieve there is such thing as incurable skin
disease Plenty of exercise and friction of
the body are called for, and hot foot baths
with soda in the water, to equalize circula-
ticn. Carbolated oil, ten drops carbolic
acid in two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, rub
bed on the face at night, will soften and
heal the eruption, if other care is taken

How Children Are Spoiled.

It is easy enough to spoil a child. No
great art is demanded. Only three or four
things are requisite to complete the work.
Make all the nurses wait on him and fly
at his bidding; let him learn never 10 go
for drink. but always have it brought TO
him; at 10 years of age have Bridget tie
his shoe strings; let him strike auntie be
cause she will not get him a sugar plum.
He will soon learn that the house is his
realm. and ne is 10 rule it. He will come
up into manhood one of those precious
spirits that demand obeisance and service,
and with the theory that the world Is his
oyster, which. with knife, he will proceed
to open.
II that does not spoil him buy him a
horse; il is exhilarating and en!arging for
a man TO own such an animal A good
horseback ride shakes up the liver and
helps the man TO be virtuous; for II l. al
most impossible TO be good with too much
bile, an enlarged spleen, or a stomach of
duty. We congratulate any man who can
auord 70 own horse; but II a boy own
one he vii probably ride on Il 10 cestruc-
ton. There VIII he room enough IN Tie
same s9d5le for idleness and dissipation

A Woman's Hair.

Has it never occurred to people to note
the intimate relation that exists between a
woman's mental processes and her back
hair? Why, woman can't give her hair
a twist of morning without looping into
it something of her own state of mind If
she is in her loveliest and best temper her
hair will go up quite of itself, seemingly,
and into the easiest and most beautiful
little coils. 1t adjusts itself at the most
becoming angle, and when all is done the
quintessenceo of her amiable being bresthes
from the top of her head. But let the day
start disastrously, let her rise with her
''innard vane printing east" and her back
hair will be the first herald of her misfort-
une to the world. IL at once manifests a
familiar demon. 1t takes crooked ways
unto itself. 1t refuses to lie in any &C
cepted pattern. Each individual hair has
a theory of its own which it proceeds to
carry out. She pats and coaxes and
smooths, but the hair will not down, and
when she comes out to the world her hair
and her temper are at one in being the
crookedest and most unlovely things in all
the world.-New York Evening Sun.

The Rose Bath.

The bath Of roses, so often mentioned by
writers on the luxurious age Of Roman
life, Is comparatively cheap luxury to-
day. The warm water, in quantity amount
ing 10 the usual requirement Of the bath,
Is first softened by stirring into the Tub
finely sifted oatmeal. 10 which also is added
half pint of glycerine; lastly put into it
two drops Of altar Of roses. II the massage
treatment be available use it by all means;
If not, let a coarse towel and hard rubbing
serve the purpose OF the massage system.
This bath is simply fine, as it softens the
skin and blends perfume into each line Of
the body.-New York Telegram.

Young men, and within the last two decades

And four colleges, exclusively for women,

The question as to her capacity to receive
this blessing is not yet decided, and the
fear that it will subvert the purposes of

Meanwhile there is a great and powerful

For 200 years this institution has held
dignified and responsible place in the edu-
cational and social system of this country.
To this the American woman, such as she
has been in times past and such as we find
her today, owes the character, the culture,
the grace and the embellishments which
enable her TO take her stand, not blushing
for her ignorance or her stupidity, side by
side with the cultivated and representative
woman Of other countries.
1t has no favor from the state. Being
private property it cannot hold endow-
ments; it has paid its own taxes and sup
ported itself European educators have
marveled that American writers should
leave the world to learn by accident that
American ladies were not all educated In
their famous public schools.

to the Centennial exhibition, whom / af-

that it had not afforded him an opportu-
nifty to visit the schools in which the ac-
! complished women whom he had met in
this country were trained.-Mrs. SylvanuE
