our, n nKes a deep chair, and yes, a
fairly light novel. Nothing sensational,
but just the kind that soothes the brain
as sleep would do. Her pet talent, how
ever. is for pastel painting, and she does
some dainty work.
Strangest Of all fads In this lazy day
Is Mrs. Chief Justice Fuller's. Listen to
1t, indolent people, for it is early rising.
at is a belief with me-" said she,
"that a household cannot go wrong
where breakfast is served at 8 o'clock"
When she came to Washington last
winter people warned hes that a winters
gayety would play havoc with her pet
theory, but she tells me that she has
never once swerved. Here comes the
indulgence of it. Although she rises
early, she sometimes allows her daugh-
tiers TO do he prescribed thing for So
ciety girls and sleep till noon.
Her daughter, Meme, when home
from Germany, tried to instill German
laxity in the matter in her mothers
mind, but no amount of reasoning could
introduce into the Fuller family the
German custom of drinking coffee in
bed.

market, arranges with her cook for the
days menu, sees the -four youngest chill
dren off to school. and at IL O'Clock
things are going SO smoothly that she
can easily take the time to drive her
husband to the Capitol
Another supreme court lady has SINH
lar views. That is the bride, Mrs. Jus
tice Gray. She is one of the best house
wives at the capital, and gives a per-
sonal supervision to every detail of what
were once the bachelor quarters of JUS
tice Gray.
Mrs Wanamaker's fad is her under
clothing.
She probably has the finest underwear
OF any woman at the capital. People
soon find u the wonderful refinement
OF the postmaster generals wife, and in
no way is it shown more than in her
taste for dress.
Every bit Of her lingerie is white. She
has never been touched by the crazes
that have swept over the country for
black or pale yellow or scarlet under
garments. The use OF anything but
white is almost repellent to her, and for
years she has purchased the same flmy
silk or cambria goods from the same
house in Europe.
Next to color, machine stitching Is un-
p~ardonable in her eyes, and everything
she wear is made by hand.

Any number of women adopt the fad
Of hand sewed underclothes now that
they know French women of refinement
do it, but Mrs. Wanamaker has always
done it, and she has the first lien on the
Undertaking fad. Every dainty bit she
wears is finished by inch wide Valen-
ciennes lace made by the nuns of a Car
melite convent in southern France. Very
little of it is used on each garment, as
she dislikes over trimming, and the only
other inishings are clusters Of tucks
separated by delicately wrought cut or
bias stitching.
Mrs. Wanamaker is not in any sense
ostentatious about her fad, and she does
not satisfy her taste because she is a very
wealthy woman. 1t is just her innate re
finement, and she said once that no mat
ter what her income she would have
dainty things mex her skin even If she
must needs wear a calico gown. She
always buys her Undertaking before
her dresses, for she cares not at all for
outside show.

man in Washington; at least all who
nave met her give to her the palm.
She Is Mrs. Gen. Clarkson, the wife OF
the assistant postmaster general, and the
following is her idea of what q woman's
fad should be:

what hers might be. 'Fad-I haven't

to get ahead of her. Men move around
the world and learn everything, while
their wives never think of acquiring
anything after marriage. The first
thing the spouses know is that their hus-
bands have shot away ahead of them,
and they never realize hat it is their
own fault.
Now" said she, with a charming air
of disdain and defiance, II mean always
to know as much about everything

Therel l was almost departing without
telling you"-
Then follows a long story about how
Brother Johns chickens have been
scratching in that cross Mrs. Twosticks'
garden, and how she has threatened to
sue Brother John for damages, and, OH
wasn't it ridiculousi-until ten minutes
have passed. and still Mrs. Smith has
not gone.
Presently she rises again. How I
am stayingi" she exclaims again
At this moment enters Mrs. Robinson.
Mrs. Smith is fond of Mrs Robinson and
must remain for just a more.
Her moment" consists Of ten mere
minutes. Then she starts again, paus-
ing in the hall for five additional minutes,
n on the doorstep for five more. Mrs.
Brown and Mrs. Robinson nave both of
them accompanied her to the door, and
all three ladies affectionately exchange
remarks until Mrs. Smith is fairly out of
hearing.
They do not like to see other ladies do
this, but somehow there is almost always
a reason why they should do it them
selves. Many a really well bred and es-
Unable lady, carried away by the triHing
enthusiasm of the moment, errs in this
respect.
Mr.. Howells refers to the usual rustic
difficulty in getting away" but this u
ITCHY, il such it be, is not confined to
the rural districts; it occurs everywhere,
and is a constant source Of ridicule
among men when they discuss-as, alasl
they are fain to do-the foibles of their
sisters and wives
1t is really a mark Of at least lamenta
BILE f~orgetfulness of good manners, il not
a token Of positive i'll breeding, to dawdle
and delay in taking ones departure, and
this rule, like nearly all Of the rules Of
good society, is founded upon reason.
The well balanced and well bred woman
does not forget what she was going to
say; she restraints her spirits somewhat
in fact, she is likely to be almost too well
restrained. 1t is better to err in this
direction, however, than in the other.
The fashion of gushing" to use a vulgar
but expressive term, is happily past. 1t

ference and the other extreme?

In a well known club for women, one
bright member recently proposed that
a reform among the entire sisterhood
should be inaugurated.
LET us begin" she said, cleveriy, .sby
paying attention to what our children
say to us, and to trying to answer them
accurately; by noticing just what Is re-
marked to us in general society, and by
replying to such remarks to the very best
Of our ability. Women are 20 apt to be
only half attentive to what they consider
trihes."
1t is indeed worth while to consider
that, often, "trifes discover character
more than actions Of Importance"
George Eliot somewhere tells US: ''It Is
In those acts called t~rivialities that the
seeds of joy are forever wasted"
1t is sometimes very funny to hear the
linked sweetness, long drawn out" Of
the good-bys Of women; but, until they
learn to reform in trifes like these, It
will be impossible to convince skeptics In
the matter that women are anything but
the in~consequent, i'll balanced, silly crea-
lures which, ever since literature began,
they have been set down to be.
The dignity Of the whole world of

At the recent annual dinner Of the
Pittsburg Press club, George 8. Wei
shons st. Geo.), one of the best known
and wittiest newspaper men of the
state, got off the following in response
to the toast The Reporter"
There are three grand divisions"
Mr.. Welshons said, lin newspaper
work-journalists, reporters and edi-
tors Speaking more accurately, there
are three stages of development. a
journalist is a calf reporter. He is a
reporter in the miniature tadpole
stage, when his head is SO big that it
takes all the rest of his person to shove
it around. II he is lucky, by and by
he becomes a reporter. After a report
er's legs wear out they make an editor
out of him. The final stage of a frog,
you know-the extreme removal from
the tadpole-is the bullfrog. too stiff
TO jump, too old and tough to eat,
who just sits on the bank and bellows.
That is an editor.
I'm the old days the editor called a
man a chicken thief; nowadays the re-
porter finds the feathers in his back
yard. The weapon Of the old time edi-
tor was the epithet; that of the modern
reporter is the evidence. What the
editor used to assert the reporter now
proves.
IF the people who complain of
what the reporter writes about them
would only consider what he does not
write about them, they would shrine
him in the friendliest corner of their
hearts. The waste baskets in q daily
newspaper Office of any town do moro
to keep its citizens in good repute than
any other agency, excepting the fear
of the law and the hereafter. Not all
that the reporter writes is truth. He
is not infallible himself, and those
who are the ources Of his information
are much less so. There are very
many men who cannot tell a straight
story. There are others who do not
try to. The man who tells the story
to the reporter is usually an interested
party. He has a purpose to serve in
metamorphosing this or suppressing
that. The reporter has no desire ex-
cept to get the truth accurately and
completely, and to write it quickly and
entertainingly.
"All men do not love the reporter,
and / am glad OF it. The fear and ha-
tired of bad men is as a chaplet above
his brow. 1t is the assurance of bis
honesty to his badge of honor as a ser
want of truth. 1.-THE time ever comes
when all men love the reporter, it will
be time to bury him. He will have
forgotten his mission, betrayed his trust
and shamed the noble fellowship of
men who have made the white cross of
the Pittsburg reporter the decoration
of a legion of honor Exchange.

As l entered NJ. Labouchere's hall,
l was amused to observe q broad back
ed German officer, quartered on him,
in the act of mounting the back stairs,
bent nearly double under the load Of
a roebuck, the legs of which he wore
round his neck, and which met under
his chin. The officer had evidently
been doing a little poaching, unbe-
known to his host.
Poaching was indeed, during the

The old saying, in time of peace

regard to fires as to the movements of

a house, from the sleeping rooms of

and that near the chimney, is running
a terrible risk. Double windows are
a source of comfort in cold weather,

Veterans Of the Civil War.

AS part of the census of the PEG.
pie to be taken during the month Of
June special provisions has been
made by Congress for ascertaining
the names ofsurviying soldiers. sail.
ors. and marines who were mustered
into the service Of the United States
during the war Of the reb ellion, and
Of the widows Of soldiers. sailors. and
marines who have died. In connec.
ton with this special census of vet
Grams the organization or vessel in
which they served, the term OF SER
vice in each case, and present resi-
dence will be taken by the census
enumerators. In the case of widows,
information regarding the service of
their deceased husbands is also re-
quired.
The importance of accurate state
ments concerning the military record

should not be underestimsted. 1t
should be the duty. moreover, OF
every veteran soldier or sailor to see
that the enumerator IS placed In pos

concerning his own service. If he

wife or other mem Der of his house.
hold, so that the work of the census
may not be delayed. and also that
there may be no doubt as to the
accuracy of the statements concerning
his service which may be given to
the census enumerator. That there
may be do question as to the points
to be covered by this memorandum,
it may be well TO state that the spec
ial inquiries to be made concerning
veterans of the civil war include the
name, the company. and the regi-
ment or vessel in which they served.
their late rank. the dates of enlist
ment aud discharge. the length OF
service in years, months, and days,
and their present post.ofice address.
Where q soldier or sailor re-enlisted
or served in more than one organiGa-
ton or vessel, he should be very
careful to give the term OF service in
each instance, and to cover each en-
listment. In giving the organization
care should be taken to distinguish
the arm of the service, as infantry,
cavalry, artillery, etc., and if a person
served under an assumed name. his
statement should be made to cover
both the name under which he served
and the true name by which he is
now known.
Veterans of the war generally will
recognize and appreciate the value Of
this special census to them, and they
should aid the census enumerators in
getting true statements in every way
possible, Without their cooperation
correct results can not be reached.
This personal appeal is made to
them, therefore. in the hope that
their attention may be specially
directed to the Importance of this
work and the necessary information
may be promptly supplied to the

1t lie the peculiar province snd
function Of the House to originate
Tariff legislation. 1t Is the right of
the Senate to amend a House Tariff
bill. But the Republican Senate will
not, We believe undertake to criticize
or amend the essential features of the
House bill, and it certainly will not
defeat that bill by substantial chan
ges that would endanger its enact

other hand, Is admirably qualified to
solve the dangerous and complicated
silver problem by a compromise bill

to accept such a bill if the Republican
Senators, mindful of party pledge
