An Old Maids Luncheon.

A few days ago twelve young women
received daintily written invitations to
attend I" An Old Maids Luncheon, -
whatever that might be-evidently
something extremely pleasant, from the
alacrity with which those invitations
were accepted. AT all events, on the
appointed Cay dozen pretty faces. be-
longing to girls with dainty toilets,
were gathered around table loaded
with delicacies. In the center of the
table were banked large bunchts of
field daisies, but, alas their former
companions could scarcely have recog-
nized them, so changed had they be-
come. Each blossom had been con-
verted into the head of little old lady;
by clipping the white petals, with the
exception of two, cap and strings were
formed, while pen and ink had placed
eyes, nose, and mouth in each yellow
center. At each plate were placed
few sprays of pussy willow, strangely
suggestive of oldmaidism. In spite of
this, the faces were unusually beaming,
and the tongues as lively as only girls
tongues can be on such occasions.
After the luncheon the " old maids "
left the dining-room, and as each one
passed through the door. way she re-
ceived pretty be-ribboned basket con-

busting a Fine Art.

Not one servant in fifty knows how
to dust a room properly, and, if the
truth were told, half the mistre sses are
quite as ignorant. In the first place
the bunch of turke y-tail feathers
hanging behind the door, alleged TO be
an implement for removing dust, should
not be allowed to remain in a well-kept
household. A minutes reflection will
prove that they merely agitate the dust,
filling the air with molecules which,
after choking ones lungs, settle again
to veX the cleaners soul. Now if ones
mendge is carefully dire cted, it should
not be necessary to sweep every por-
ion of the house oftener than once in
seven days. But when the broom is
introduced, every small piece of furni-
ture, with all the bric-a- brac, should be
first thoroughly wiped free of dust
with a clean cloth, and then covered
with an unb cached cotton sheet re-
served for the purpose, or else removed
altogether from the room. Nothing is
50 Injurious to books, pictures, and or
naments as TO be exposed to the dust
while carpets, mattings, or even bare
floors are being brushed. No matter
how scrupuously they may be cleansed
afterward, the minute atoms are ground
in and soon destroy their first fresh
ness. 1t is good rule to carry into
the next room every light chair, table,
easel, etc, so that when the sweeping
begins there may be no distractions
whatever. The next thing is to ha We
paper of pins, and 90 from window to
door securing all the drapory from the
dust 1t is taken for granted that
divan.covers, sofa pillows, mantel lam
brequins and tides are of course pro-
tected. The competent maid will then
throw every window wide open, and
examine all the crevicos for cCbwebs
before she starts With the broom. Tea
leaves and coffee-grounds, if not too
wet, will do much to arrest the dust;
but too often they are careessly used,
to the injury of delicate colois. When
a room is being freshened for weeks
steady occupation, it is well to pass
soft white cloth over as much of the
walls as is possible. BY doing this one
will be astonished to discover what an
amount of dirt is removed. Then
every inch of woodwork should be
wiped, one section at time, and the
buster taken to the window aud shaken
free of lint before starting afresh,
Only in this way can we hope to really
attain good work. Where domestic af-
fairs are well ordered, busters are neatly
hemmed, marked and numbered like
towels, are boiled in the weekly wash,
and given out from the linen-closets as
the needs require. Illustrated Amer

General Palmer's first appointment is
that of Colonel Frederick Fisterer of
Albany as Acknowledgement. Colonel
Fisterer was born in Germany, and

Let the Girls ROmp.

Most mothers have dread of romps,
so they lecture the girls daily on the
proprieties, and exhort them to be little
ladies'. They like to see them very
quiet and gentle and as prim as pos
sible. The lot of such children is
rather pitiahle, for they are deprived of
the fun and frolic which they are en-
titled to. Children-boys and girls
must have exercise to keep them
healthy. Deprive them of it, and they
will fade away like flowers without
sunshine. Running, racing, skipping,
climbing-these are the things that
strengthen the muscles, expand the
chest, and build up the nerves. The
mild dose of exercise taken in the nur-
sery, with calisthenics or gymnastics,
will not invigorate the system like a
good romp in the open air. Mothers,
therefore, who counsel their little girls
to play very quietly make mistake.
Better the laughing, rosy.cheeked,
romping girl, than the pale, lily-faced
one who is called every inch a lady.
The latter rarely breaks things, or tears
her dresses, or tires her mothers pa
tience as the former does; but, after
all, what do the tearing and breaking
amount to? 1t is not wise policy to
put an old head on young shoulders.
Childhood is the time for childish
pranks and plays. The girls will grow
them be children as long as possible,
and also give them plenty of fresh air
and sunlight. -Peterson'S Magazine.

Crab-Apple Jelly.

Wash the apples, remove the bios
som end and cut in small pieces, but do
not pare or core, for the skins and seeds
improve the color and quality of the
jelly. Cover with cold water, and cook
gently until soft. Keep them covered,
and turn the kettle often, but do not
stir or mash the apple. When the
apples are very soft and the liquid is
red, turn them into strainer-cloth and
hang it up to drip all night. In the
morning boil the liquid ten minutes,
then strain again through very fine
cloth and measure it. Allow half a
pound of sugar to pint of juice. Boil
the juice alone until it begins to thicken
on the edge of the pan, then add the
sugar, and cook five minutes longer, or
until it jellies, then skim and turn into
glasses.-Erchonge.

japanese Views of Etiquette.

In explaining to my scholars, who
were reading Little Lord Fauntleroy
in English, passage where a footman
Is spoken of as having nearly disgraced
himself by laughing at some quaint
saying of the young lord, my little peer
esses were amazed beyond measure to
learn that in Europe and America a
servant is expected never to show any
interest in or knowledge of the CONVEX
sation of his betters, never to speak
unless addressed, and never to smile
under any circumstances. Doubtless
in their shrewd little brains they formed
their opinion Of civilization imposing
such barbarous restraints upon one class

The Woman Who Is Wanted.

We want women who are going to
make the home better, the husband
much better, and whose name will be
written not in brass, but in the great
life book by him who knows the heart,
and who judges not severely, but
justly. You think there are no women
like this? Plenty of them, my friend.
But they hang out no sign to tell you
of their virtues and their learning, I'M
less you can call sweet manner, a
womanly presence and sympathetic
word sign. They are to be found
Everywhere. In the shops, among the
workers, and even, strange as it may
seem, among the oft-quoted Four Hun
dred; for to be born fashionable does
not always mean to be born bad.-BoS-

The Girl Who Teaches.

Sound health is prime necessity for
any worker in the world, no matter
what the line of work may be, but it
becomes of the greatest importance if
the work is to be carried on in the
school-room, writes Caroline B. LeRow
in the September Ladies' Home Journal.
There not only the physical, but the
nervous and mental forces are taxed to
their utmost. The young graduate has
hitherto gone to school to sit comfort
ably at her desk; to stand occasionally
for Rotations; to use her voice but lit
tie; to have constant variety in her
work; to enjoy her recess with perfect
freedom and in congenial companion
ship. AS teacher she goes to school
to stand upon her feet all day long; to
use her voice necessarily, perhaps, too,
in large room filled with the tumut
of the street; to keep noisy and, very
likely, rebellious and disobedient chill
dren not only quiet, but interested, and
to spend the recess in care of them in
the halls and the yard. Besides this
she is TO stimulate their brains, and a
certain amount of time-usually pre-
scribed by a board of education, the
members of which know little of the
capacity and possibilities of the youth
full minds allotted her, in which she
must, somehow or other, succeed in
teaching them a certain number of
facts-no allowance being made for the
slownoss, stupidity, or disorder, which
increases the friction of the work and
delays the doing. No matter how COM
plete the education, or how enthusiastic
the spirit, the power for physical endur-
ance is absolutely necessary.

A Suggestion.

A correspondent of the National Tri
bme suggt SITS that in 1892, when the
G. and Army holds its encampment in
Washington, the grand review be by
states and regiments, as it was dur
ing the war, the regiments with their
numbers well displayed, and their old
flags, when they can procure
them; while the men who served in the
navy should be in body, and if pos
sible in full uniform. He thinks that
as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
were the first to send troops to the gov
ernment's aid, they should have the
right of line. AS it is twenty-six years
since the Army of the Potomac and
ST erman's army were reviewed by the
then pre- sident of the United States,
and as the present president was SOL
der of the late war, it would be more
appropriate than the usual parade of
tl,e Grand Army. He thinks that the
march should be on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol
to the war department, and then coun-
termarch on the north side, so the boys
can see once more what they look like

Every once in a while some war
W teran, under proper circumstances
and con ditions, will tell you how he es-
capped death at such place and such a
time by the "queerest chance in the
world" One of these "queerest chance S
in the world fell to the lot of an old
timer who lives in Germantown, and,
in truth, it is one of the very queerC st.
He was about to leave for the seat of
war in 1868, and the girl to whom he
was engaged, among numerous other
things, gave him a chest protector made
by her own fair hands and wet by her
tears. 1t was meant to be practical,
and was of immense thickness-that is,
it was padded to the depth of an inch
or two. During long and tedious
campaign in chilly weather, the soldier
found it invaluable as a safeguard
against colds, and wore it almost con-
stantly. He had it ON one morning
when plunged into the heat of a hand
to hand skirmish. The affair developed
into quite a little battle, and soon
the struggling fire on both sides had
become rafting volleys. When it was
over the soldier retired to his tent and

stanch the flow of blood from small
flesh-wound in his back. In removing
the protector he felt sharp pain shoot
through his chest, and then he noticed
that the protector was cut all up by the
passage of bullet. An investigation
developed an awfully "queer chance"
His sweetheart had accidentally left a
needle sticking in the pad which he
had never noticed before. This ran
right through the cloth and bullet had
struck it on the point. The needle had
been forced back clear through thick
button on his wooden undershirt and
thence had gone little distance into
the skin. The resistance of the button
had forced the soft lead of the bullet
clear round the needle so that the
bullet was fairly impaled on the slender
wire. Thus was the life of the soldier
saved, and through the carelessness of
his beloved in leaving the needle in

are fatal to the beauty of shoes; con-
sCquently, it is matter of simple econ

in width, extending across all three
panels of the door, and then, by means
of the braid, this is divided up into four
or five separate cases. The parasol-
