Do you know, Amy, have quite come to
the conclusion that a woman's toilet is
never quite successful unless it shows two
or three inches of slender wrist, whether
gloved or very tightly sleeved. l noticed
one or two women in the park last week
who looked better dressed than the rest and
after puzzling over the matter for some
little time, settled in my own mind that
it was because the prettily shaped wrists
were not wrapped up in fur or hidden in

The Cuban woman goes through the
world In an easy, shiftless sort of way,
lounges only too gracefully in a hammock
or Tolls in her rocking chair, her mind in
tent on only one idea--how to keep cool
The grace of the woman is set off by the
marvellous way with which she uses her
fam Not for a moment is it at rest; it
hutters, 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 Cuban high life is diff
cult to describe The complexion varies
from olive to white; deep black hair is the
prevalent hue; but the eyesl Luminous,
dreamy, so large, dark and vivid. La Sem
orita, with her certain childlike frankness,
but with provoking richness and fire OF
nature in her features, ensnares many a
heartas 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 'stone walls do not prison

The Cost of Gas in London.

The issue of the accounts for the half
year ending Dec. 81 of the three gas
companies distributing gas in London en-
ables calculation to be made of the cost
of and the results derived from manufac-
turing and supplying gas to the large and
thickly populated areas covered by these
companies in 1889. The gross amount of
capital and borrowed money required to
light London with gas in the entire year
was GA, 350,S96, which is an increase of
2126,6T3 ON the figures for the preceding
year By the working of this capital a
revenue Of "a ,40s, 1923 was earned, of which
sum co ,05O, 224 was for gas sold to consul
mers, 92l0429 was for public lighting,
9S0,670 came from rents of meters and
stoves, 81, lac, 257 from residuals obtained
from the carbonization of the coal used for
the production Of gas, and q balance of
2l7,7H from miscellaneous sources.
The coal required for the manufacture of
the gas needed in London during the year
cost no less than 81 500, 800, or g79, 1853 more
than in 1883. The expenses of labor
amounted to e44S, Ss4, being an increase OF
Ell 500, which is nearly all accounted for
by the change of working ia the retort
houses during the last three or four
months Of the year, from twelve hour to
eight hour shifts Several of the other
items Of expenditure show enormous in
creases, the result being that the gross
profit of the companies fell to 81 ,273, 419,
which is upwards of quarter of million
less than their profit for the year 1885,

Caring for the Baby.

A knitted blanket or an embroidered
cashmere one can be wrapped around the
baby unless the weather is very warm. 1t
is always safe to use one when it is carried
from one room to another, to protect the
head from draughts. Little knitted socks
keep the feet warm and add much to its
comfort.
Do not be afraid of fresh air Open the
window and provide artificial heat suff-
Gent to keep the room at temperature OF
69 dogs. Do not let the air blow directly
upon the child; a screen placed near the
window or a strip of flannel pinned in front
of the opening will prevent this.
Take the baby into the open air every
pleasant day, putting on sufficient clothing
to keep it warm. Do not trust it in baby
carriage with young girl, whose careless.
ness might iniure it for life.
Always dress and undress young baby
by an open fire. If it cries during the day,
unpinning its foot blanket and warming
its feet will sometimes quiet it.-Ladies

That pink and white young woman was
Miss Mabel Wright, who has been called
such beauty, and who was more than
ever talked about when she married the d.
vorced brother-in-law of the Duchess of
Manchester Her hair was exquisite, be-
ing that perfect blonde so seldom seen ex-
cept on the heads of babies, but she lacked
expression. Her discovery was very funny.
One morning at Narragansett one of the
gilded youths went in bathing very early.
Suddenly as he was swimming far out
there seemed to come from the depths of
the deep blue sea mermaid, whose long
yellow hair was floating in the water.
With his mouth full of salt it was rather
difficult for suffering young man to
speak, but he managed to gasp out: Are

swered to this, but an introduction to two
or three fashionable women over at New
port followed, and Miss Mabel Wright got
in the swim from knowing how to float
successfully Skillful, wasn't it?-New

The silent Helper.

Sometimes" writes Oliver Wendell
Holmes of the true wife, II have seen a tall
ship glide by against the tide as If drawn
by some invisible bowline, with hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sails were un-
filed, 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 and arms of iron, that was
Juggling it bravely on, and 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 off
with the rehuent 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 no
more.

Where Women Fail, and why.

Practical business men, as a rule, do not
feel much interest in or respect for the
efforts of women who, while they would
compete on business arena, refuse to be
governed by business methods. There is a
demand for home made pickles and pre-
serves at fair business profit, but only a
few women who can but partially supply
the demand have taken advantage of it.
Women, as a rule, fail in this work for
two reasons First, because they do not
do their work by exact methods, which
always give uniform result, but by a
species of guesswork, which requires that
every lot of goods shall be sampled. Sec,
ondly, they are anxious for an immense
return from their goods at once and usually
overestimate the price. They are often in
such need of money before they begin to
work that they cannot afford to put their
goods before the public as business man
does and expect no income till they are
we'll introduced. They therefore come un-
der the head of objects of charity rather
than as independent business workers.

The Burmese girls are very bright, and
good beggars, too and when one steps up
to you with six inch cigar in her mouth
and her comedy person swathed in gar
ments, the colors of which would rival
Joseph's coat, and offers you her wares, the
only thing for man to do is to buy, and
buy at once. The Burmese girls are noted,
too, for their independence, and they walk
about the streets and through the bazaars
and around the pagodas with big cigars in
their mouths with as much freedom rs do
the men in most countries. Their dress is
more picturesque, too, than the Arabs.
They use the very brightest red, yellow and
pink silks in their adornment and the pre-
vailing fashion runs to scarfs, more than to
dresses, and bands of ribbons more than to
jackets don't believe they wear corsets
either.-Rangoon Cor. Kansas City Times.

For bedroom use nothing is more con-
venient than one or more low ottomans.
AS seat before the dresser for hair dress
ing purposes il 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 quite expensive affairs, but
almost any one can get up a useful and
pretty one with a little ingenuity and labor.
Grocers generally have boxes that are right
as to size and shape for such bit of fur
nishing, SO a foundation can easily be pro
cured.
II merely a seat is wanted, q box turned
upside down is thabeginning, and the COW
ering may be as varied as individual tastes
can make it. Excelsior should be put over
the top to pad it out comfortably, and over
this q piece of ticking or stout muslin
should be tackled to hold it in place and
make it easier to fit on the outer cover. II
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 or 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.
II the ottoman is to be utilized for shoe
or bonnet box it must have cover hinged
on and the inside must be made neat and
presc. liable by silisia lining. Ii shoes are
to be kept in it pockets can be put around
the four sides for holding them. Casters
may be added also to move it easily. A
cover that is pretty for room where ere
tonne is used is of the same material, with
very full frill plated on and a 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 OF
such an ottoman will well repay the out

Cost Of a Tailor Mnde Dress.

ANY woman who can make dress Is en-
titled to $25, provided it is made right and
gives satisfaction. In such case it is not
only cheap, but positive luxury 1t gives
a customer grace case, comfort and service.
1t puts her at her best. There is about a
well made costume finish that comes
from intelligence and is wholly lacking in
a hit or miss fit. s,You can't tell a new
artistic gown. It is fresh, bright, pleasing
and ultra, but not new for the reason that
fine trimmings are used The Innings have
body without starch, and the whalebones
bend to the figure instead of from it, as is
the case with steels and celluloid. Then
too, there are the delicate ruchings about
the neck and sleeves, the cloth lined pocket
and the faint scent of lavender, orris OF
altar that is not characteristic of cheap
finery.
The thing is, after ALL as broad as it is
long. BY close buying dress pattern can
I've had for $40. The findings will cost s.
which, with $25 for making by an artistic
will bring the total to $40 This means the
very perfection of u fit, a quiet, lady like
style and costume that may be worn six
months without interruption if necessary
While it lasts the owner has the satisfac
ton of knowing and feeling that she is
dressed like a lady.
On the other hand the customer, being
i'll advised, pays $50 for some alleged i'm
portation and SO for Innings, threads, etc
The dressmaker recklessly chops into the
cloth and finding herself limited, demands
buckle, some passementerie and bolt OF
ribbon to finish off and cover up her blum
der. BY the time it is finished the bill o.
expenses amounts to $40, at the very lowest
estimate. The dress is failure; it fit

Is there any use for other towels that
have developed very thin "middles" and
lost most of their fringe? If one has time
to devote to such saving work, or if there
are little girls in the family who need EN-
ployment, my advice is to cut the towels
down the center, lengthwise, and "over
and over" the edges together. This gives
firm middle" good enough to cut square
