FOR YOUNG WOMEN WHO rnAvrn.

A little advice to young lady who
may be obliged to travel alonc for the
first time may not come amiss. In buy.
ing her ticket for the trip Young lady
should also buy ticket for her sleencr.
IL is most convenient to get the berth as
near the toilet room as possible. Tho
railroad officials will arrange, if she does
not get the entire section, that the other
berth is occupied by lady. The porter
Will make up the berth whenever she
desires. a lady should always provide
loose wrapper of some light, wooden ma
terial to sleep in when travelling. When
retiring, remove rs much of the clothing
as is necessary for comfort, and hang it
by the berth. 1t is moro convenient aud
much plensanter to rise early in the
morning and get to tho toilet room be-
tore there is too great demand for it.
No lady will monopolizo the toilet room
very long.
When lady reaches strqnge city she
should get into the stage that belongs to
the hotel to which she wishes to go. get
out ut the ladies' entrance, 20 into tbe
reception room and ask to see some one
from the office. She should tell tho
clerk, or whoever comes, what kind of
room she wishes, ask the price of it, and
give him her name to register. In dress
and demeanor in hotels, etc., young
lady should be scrupulously quiet.
A lady should remain in her own room
and not sit alone in public parlors. A
lady should send word to the office, by
the bellboy, when she wishes to leave
the hotel, and porter will be sent for
her baggage, and she will be appraised
when the hotel coach is Mt the door. 1t
is usual to give "tip" to porter, u
beilboy, waiter or chambermaid in
return for any small service. -Roue&eep-

WOMEN PRACTICE onAronY.

An exceedingly clever and original
Washington lady has organized club of
six scarcely less interesting women than
herself, who call themselves the Society
for the Gncoura cement of After-d dinner
Toasts and Speeches. Once mcht1 they
meet by invitation at the house of q
member, and in elegant toilets discuss
an elaborate repast. Then, any woman
who may be called upon must rise and
talk for at least five minutes upon some
topic of interest, or respond to any toast
proposed. No Encouragement of phrases
is permitted, the object intended being
the cultivation of the art of impromptu
aud graceful speaking in response, con
troversy, or acknowledgements. Need
less to say, no men are permitted to be
present, the entire charming programme
being carried out for the ladies' private
delectation and cultivation. - Chicago

Out of the enormous profit of 300 or 400

to $50 week, and of the army of small

THEY DUST FOR A LIVING.

There are several women of good fam
lilies in New York who are professional
busters. Busting has almost risen to
the dignity of u fine art in these days of
bric-a- brac, portieres, draperies and
carved furniture. To the average par
lor maid it is either an unknown or a
lost art, and she has no more respect for
cloisonne vase than for one of plcbian
china.
The women engaged in this pursuit
are retained for certain days and do
their work thoroughly. 1t can readily
be imagined that a woman of refinement
is much better adapted to perform these
duties than the crude and clumsy maid
of-all-work, who fiips her duster about
in the most reckless manner among the
costly articles of bric-a-brac and en-
broidered hangings. Yorh Recor-
