Useful Hints.
A letter sent by one friend or ac-
quaintance to another, through the
hands of a friend or acquaintance of
either or both, should always be un-
sealed.
Silver or linen given to a bride is
marked with the initials of her maiden
name.
Temper has been called the ''climate
of the mind,n but persons who keep
others waiting are the promoters of a
blizzard. Morally speaking, women
should not quarrel with each other
anywhere, but especially not in
crowds. Every one respects a woman
who can smilingly keep her temper.
Olives should be taken from the
dish with a spoon or olive fork and
not with the fingers, though they are
afterward eaten by aid OF the digits.
Hints for Travellers.
Nausea, from the motion OF the cars.
may be prevented, says The Ladies'
Home Journal. in the following
way:-Take a sheet of writing paper
large enough to W. both the chest
and stomach, and put it on under the
clothing, next TO the person. If n
sheet is not large enough paste the
edges of two or three together, for the
chest and stomach must be well COW
cred. Wear the paper thus as long as
you are travelling, and change it
every day if your journey is a long
one. Those who have tried 1T say that
il is a perfect defence.
Those to whom the term sleeper"
is a hollow mockery may profit by
the experience of statesmen and others
who travel frequently, and have the
bed made up with the pillow toward
the locomotive. Just why this should
make sleep easier is not explained,
but the plan is highly recommended.
If you are ever in straits for a clean
handkerchief or two when no washer
woman is within easy call, try this
plan:-Upon reaching your hotel take
all your soiled handkerchiefs, wash
and rinse them, and spread them out
smoothly on the window panes. Be
sure that there are no creases, and
that the form right angles.
When dry and carefully folded NJ one
could tell that they had not been
ironed. Heavily embroidered hand
kerchiefs will not look as smooth as
plain ones, but will certainly defy de-
lection across a a aisle.
One Pocket
A Boston paper, commenting on
women's clothes, says that the women
of today need pockets infinitely more
than the ballot. Certainly, pockets
would add to the comfort and phys
zeal freedom of women of the present
day, but to be an advantage they
must be placed in a position where
the wearer can reach them without
growing red in the face with the eff
fort. The other day a lady walked
down Broadway dressed in a tailor
made cloth gown; on the right
side of the skirt, at a convent
ent distance below the waist
line, was a pocket, inserted as &
Jacket pocket is inserted and covered
with a stitched and bnttoned lap. The
pocket was deep and broad under the
skirt, and evidently fastened fat or
the under or muslin skirt. Her hand.
