Women who Are Always Welcome
There are women whom one meets
every day who deserve a word, re-
marks the Boston Transcript. the
women whom everybody is glad to
see. First, there is the busy, bust
ling little woman-almost always she
is little, and almost always she is
stout. These characteristics to
add to her cherry nature. Wherever
she goes she carries a pleasant face, be
the day never so dull. Wherever she
is, something funny is to be found, be
the time or. place so monoton-
Gus. Blunders or mistakes never
seem so notifying when she describes
their amusing side, and the rankle OF
self-disgust passes of in a laugh. She
is always ready to help, whatever
may be the occasion, and il it costs
her a sacrifice il is eve told. The
invalid always brightens to see her
coming. and even the mourner does
not shrink from her, for she has a
deep sympathy under all her jollity.
Again, there is the serene, stately
woman. To those who do not know
her she seems distant and reserved,
but a nearer acquaintance reveals all
her graciousness. She is v OBJ
trusive, but she always proposes the
right thing at the right time, and
though unconsciously, it is her plans
that are acted upon and her advice
that is followed. Her personality is
the least noticeable of her character
isties. One always thinks of her in

zone her loss is strongly felt. Her
manners, her words, her very appear
nee is soothing and restful.
In this category of welcome women
is the dear, old fashioned, motherly
woman. You know her as soon as she
appears, and your heart, whatever its
though she may be a stranger. She
sits and rocks, and knits, with her
tongue as busy as her hands, for she
knows and loves to tell whole family
histories of at least three generations.
She goes to walk in the woods, and
she knows every herb and its use, and
when she goes home she carries bun
dies of wintergreen, and MULLEN. and
sassafras. In sickness and sorrow she
is invaluable. She always has her
wits about her, to use a homely phrase,
and can always be depended upon
Hints About Lace Go WINS.
Somebody asks, Wi black lace be
worn?n and one is glad to answer with
an emphatic Yes, says The Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t is a little early to
decide just how the lace gowns will be
made, but they will be lace rather
than net.
French or Chantilly lace will re-
main in vogue, and fine Spanish will
also be seen. A particularly elaborate
lace has its border design outlined with
velvet cord. and each flower has a vel
vet heart; with this a bodice of lac e
and velvet will be worn, and that an
omalY for the summe days, a velvet
bonnet, will be assumed. This, of
course, is an elaborate gown, and is
only suited for carriage or house wear.
A simple style shows a plain, full
skirt of lace made over silk, with a
pointed bodice of lace, and sleeves,
very high and full, of heavy silk with
frills of lace as the finish at the wrists.
A Timely Word on Long engagements.
The sort of courtship that goes on
for hours behind closed doors, that
insists upon seclusion and resents a
third person, that thinks first of the
beloved object and not at all of any
one else-this may do for a six weeks
intermission between maidenhood and
marriage; but long engagements
should be conducted on radically diff
ferent lines. Was there ever a dearer
sweetheart than Lorna Doone. whose
maidenly reserve allowed John Rid
one day a kiss, and no spooning what
ever? And do you remember Mary
Garth, so true to her not-any-too-
eligible Fred, and vet SO strait and
strict with herself? Engaged or not,
she must surely have been a welcome
companion in any house, Fred or nc
Fred. And again that dame in silver
gray who married John Halifax-be
sure that her betrothal was a modest
and unselfish one.
Lace yourself straitly, Mistress
Lucy, and encourage Colin to under
stand that while you stay under the
paternal roof the obligations of that
shelter are on you, and forbid you tc
concentrate all your courtesy on
single guest.-Apru ScTibner.
The Decline of "Good Form"
Chambers Journal says.-'Nod doubt
the changed conditions of life. the
hurry and scurry of business and the
tussle for very existence are largely
responsible for this. We have no
time to be polite, and if we stay t.
consider others we ourselves may b.
jostled out of place, But is not tn,
prevailing tendency of self indulgence
and l-uxuriousness equally to blame
for this decadence of manners? II
