tongue sand witches, little buttered bis
cults, and all kinds. shapes and sizes of
that great American institution, the
pie. The menu is piled around on neat
little shelves, and the customer
walks up and helps himself. From a
pretty basket of split cane he can
obtain clean, white napkin, and,
settling himself down in one of
the chairs, can enjoy his lunch, and in
fifteen minutes time be back in his of
fee. Eating in this manner is some
times quite embarrassing, especially in
eating pie, for many slices of this article
of food have tendency to bulge in the
center when two rows of teeth are
brought down on the end. Very often
this happens, and many johnny"
with a sad sigh has laid aside, to be
worn no more, a pair of 81 trousers as
the result.
In this connection it might be stated
that luncher ripe in years of eXper-
fence gives the following rule for hand
ling slices of pie as the rules Of etiquette
and laws of safety would demand:
Grasp the pie firmly bat gently with
both hands, extending each thumb and
index finger along the periphery to
guard against breaks and supporting
the undercrust with the remaining fin
fiers. The slice of pie is then elevated
to the mouth, and nature does the rest"
This is said to work splendidly, and is
much in favor among men in hurry.
The individual who gave it to reporter
declared that it beat fork all to pieces.
If perchance one should try this he
will find it a great benefit to place a
napkin Oh his lap, because the expert
menr sometimes ends with general
! collapse.
The break for the lunch room is gen
orally made between the hours of II and
| 3 O'Clock, and the walters or attendants
are kept Oh rush. and the little gong
| on the cash register keeps up steady
| clang. The lunches are cheap, seldom
running over 10 cents, which will pay
for a cup of steaming hot coffee, a
| French roll, with slice of ham Oh
tongue, and piece of pie.

crowd that throngs one of these places

Some of Gem show pannlers and hip
draperieS of various kinds. A very
pretty and simple gingham frock | saw
few days ago was of pink and gray, in
broken plaid. The plain skirt was fin
ished with wide pleating, set on without
a heading. The waist had seams only
under the arms, and was gathered
slightly into belt, below which fell a
deep pleating. The high sleeves were
finished with cuff of Irish point, and
the slightly low neck was finished with

While l depIore the way in which we
are outgrowing all the sentiment our
mothers and grandmothers INDUCED in,
there is one bit of sentimentalism | am
very glad to see laid aside. 1t is the
custom of burdening children with friv-
olous names. The idea of naming a
dainty, Dresden china morsel of baby
hood Pearl, or Lily, or Violet, is in
itself very pretty fancy, but when the
same exquisite atom develops, the con-
trast between the name and its bearer

anything, and Violet is as bold as can
be. The eighteen-year old heroine of a
gushing novel, who has all the beauties
the authors fancy can secure for her,
who has eternal youth, and is utterly
angelic. may have any romantic name
that suits her; but real nine
teenth-century woman, with heart
and brain abreast of the times,
who lives an earnest, real
life, and grows old with dignity, ought
to have name worthy of her. Ones

A woMAN's PHILOSOPHY.

She can tell you better how much
principle there is in man to the square
inch of his face than you could discover
by months dealing with him.
To think wisely is the part of a sage;
to act wisely requires a combination of
man and angel.
1t is easier to forgive friend for the
wrong he did US than for the lie he told
to keep it from us.
To forgive when we nave forgotten is
easy; to forgive when we Know we can
never forget Is noble.
The half thoughts of the foolish put
into words are often the levers that
move the wise to think in silence and
then act.
To yield love for service is too much
like commercial bargain; but to serve
for love is monopoly of souls. and sell
fishness can never break tie combina-
ton.
That we lost the race because we
stopped to point out the right way to a
wanderer will be remembered by him,
though our names are not capitalized in
the next days newspaper.

condescend to ring the bell for you
when you desire to leave the convey
ance. Somebody ought to buy ice for
the water passed round in certain
playhouse. or kill the boy who passes it.
It's a custom that reminds one of the
way water used to be passed around in
country schools. If we are to be pro-
vincial enough to need a water carrier
between acts. let US be provincial enough
to have the water iced. 1t is CALLING to
spoil ones glove by taking wet glass,
and then to find the water lukewarm

HOW TO DRESS THE HAIR.
Always Arrange 1t to Suit the
Shane of Your Face.


Shape of Your Face.
How to wear ones hair is really
most important question, for on its be-
ing becoming or not depends so much,
says the Ladies' Home journal. A low
arrangement CT the hair is given the
preference for daytime, although the
woman who does not find this suited to
the shape of her face should not permit
herself to wear it under any circum-
stances.
However, as the oval face is much
more general in this than any other
country the low arrangement is posi-
BILE to almost all. Smooth waves are
very much liked, and these waves are
produced, not by putting the hair up in
pins, but by using an iron specially
made for that purpose.
This is heated, the tress of hair is laid
between. the iron closed, and the hair
when taken out is in beautiful, nat

THE MAIDEN OF ROMANCE.

Above her alabaster brow
Her hair is like spun gold;
Her eyes beneath shine like the stars;
Her mouth of rosebud mold.
Her nose is something quite sublime;
Her cheeks are rose and cream.
She glides, she floats-she does not walk
This evanescent DREAM
Her heart. how very frail it is,
Pierced through with Cupid's darts.
Her constitutions quite as weak;
She dotes on fits and starts.
A vision of loneliness,
Worth many thrusts of lance
A dream got up in silk and laLe,
This maiden of romancel
No more she haunts the novels page.
I'll mourn her charms for aye!
The heroine men worship now
Is made of common clay
realist of modern school.

beg of thee to give me back
My maiden of romance.

New YORK, March 26.-There is no
surer sign of the advent of real spring
weather than the appearance in the
park and on the boulevards of groups cf
pquestriennes, and that sign may be
looked for now that Lent is happily
drawing to a close. and the wanderers
from the South are vending their home
ward way to take part in the winter
gaieties. Our American girls have been
learning of late years that there is moth
Ing so productive Of graceful carriage
as horseback exercise, and likewise that
no physicians prescription will bright
Eli the eyes and rouge the cheeks as eff
fectually as the morning gallop in the
crisp air and warm sunbeams. This
they have learned from their En-
glish cousins, whose ride is as
much part of the days

the evening toilette for dinner. From
these same experienced teachers. too.
has been learned the fact that to the
girl with any pretensions to face or fig
ure. the riding habit may be made more
charming than the IoveIiest ball or din
ner gown. But to attain this effect. il
must be like the cIubman's dress suit,
Of special material, perfect in every
ed to the figure. Such riding habits
have long been one of the specialties OF
the Redfern establishment, and this
year they have been made, in some
ways, more admirable than ever. Here

Imumbled something in reply, and he
took three or four turns across the room
and disappeared into his private office. AT
l O'Clock Smith came in. He had forgot
ten his usual dignity Of entrance. and he
was so absent minded that he hung up his
coat on the wrong hook. He fogeted and
then observed:

Before the week was cut Jones escorted
Mrs. Temple 70 the rheater, Brown had
taken her out for 8 drive, and there were
well founded rumors that Smith had sent
her bouquet. I then set 10 work 70 find

she was the widow Of a Nevada nine own

Second-That Brown expected to marry

her.
Third-That Smith had become so in
fatuated that he would have run away
with her, leaving wife, business and all.
Well, the proposition to buy her silver
mine came up at the business meeting one
morning. There was nothing in the looks
or words Of either party 20 lead one 20 mis-
trust that he had ever met her or talked it
over before. Ii would have been proper to
send some expert out TO the mine to inves-

the names of parties TO write TO, and il
was agreed that if reports were favorable
the deal should be closed. l now for the
first time learned of the location Of the
mine I had not only been on the site and
knew the mine to be worthless, but had
friends there who would attest the fact.
