been produced at the Burg theater at

wildly and weirdly absurd in plot and
so bombastic in language that the man

one day and asked nervously il he
might have little conversation with

and after some awkward blushing and
indefinite illusions he asked the artist
if he supposed he had among his sam

looked like him, but was better looking.
"What do you mean, young MANI"

THE GIRLS HOME TRAINING.


How 1t Is Possible by a Gradual Process
to Make Good Housekeepers of Your
Daughters.
There are the studies that must not
be interrupted-soc exchanges to be
duly met, certain amount of sewing
and reading to be accomplished; out-of-
door life in abundance, and enough
sleep to insure health, to be secured.
The most efficient, ambitious mother
is often necessarily absorbed with other
interests than adapting her spare mo-
ments to the intervals of her daughters
leisure; and the completion of house
duties is imperative, and can not wait
for the hand of novice.
How would it do 70 begin the house
keeping lessons when the daughters are
5 and 6? Teach them to handle their
toys nicely, and to arrange their play
houses conveniently for dollie's com
fort. AS they get older, show them
how to dust and how to sew, using
dolls patterns and, when the study
hours begin to grow longer, let them,
once or twice week, do some genuine
homework, like the thorough sweeping
of their own room; or making certain
kind of bread; the coffee for breakfast;
from time to time & staple dish-des-
serts will easily follow. During vaca-
ton with lots of fun in between) let
them make out the programme of two
or three days work, submitted the day
before to the mother, to be carried
through by them, with the exception of
emergencies.
Let them contribute share in the
Inequalities of their home. Who is
more attractive hostess than the accom-
plished daughter gracefully and intelli-
gently entertaining guests in the home
of her parents? And how easily and
naturally all her growing duties will
fall into line in the home that follows
that of her maidenhood. Rural New

WHAT A WOMAN EATS.
The Unhealthy Diet of n Large MaJorit,
of the Women Who Work.

The tnhcalthy Diet Oh Large mhJoriby
of tho Women Who Work.
OF twenty women lunching at pop
ular restaurant few days ago, five or
dered ice-cream and cake; three a piece
of pie and cup of coffee each; two had
bread and butter followed by dark
fruit cake, and the eight remaining
women were divided between cellars,
cream cakes, jelly tarts and doughnuts,
with an occasional cup of coffee or tea.
The one sensible woman had soup, a
sandwich and light salad, with piece
of sponge cake and cup of chocolate.
/ fingered over my own luncheon, so
that the twenty women all changed
during my stay, but the proportion OF
cake-eaterS remained the same. The
majority of these lunchers were work
ing women. They had probably, at
the least calculation, been at work
since o'clock that morning, and had
yet some four or five hours more of la
Dor before them; during that time they
expected to sustain life and nourish
their body and brain upon one piece of
pie and a cup of coffee. Among the
harder working class the same thing
exists also, and women deliberately re-
fuse to avail themselves of cheap and
nutritious food, preferring, instead,
worthless, harmful pastry. isscarcely
necessary to add that among the forty
odd women who came and went during
my luncheon, there was scarcely one
with clear, rosy complexion
such as every woman should have, or
who gave the impression of perfect
health. One saw instinctively they had
no appetite, had headache and NERVES"
and were heiresses to thousand natur'
