She Rang the Bell on Them.

Two burglars caught tartar in Bos-
ton one night recently, through which
they were themselves caught to their sor-
row and pain. While ransacking house
in Cambridge, Mass, they entered the
bedroom of Miss Margaret E. Russell,
who owned the place. That lady, who
kept large bell on chair by her bed
side for just such visitors, jumped up,
seized the bell and not only used it for
ringing purposes, but banged the bur-
glars over the head with it at the same
time SO effectually that the wounds thus
made rendered their Identification COM
plete when captured shortly after on the
street, whittier they had hastily fed from
the attack made ON them.-Philadelphia

Goats and oxercnats.

A clothing dealer says that about one
fifth of the masculine portion of the city's
population go through the winter with
out overcoats. In most instances the
cause is the lack Of money to make a
purchase, but there are men who are
able to buy but who refuse to wear a
top coat. Some of these prefer two or
more suits of underclothing to an over
coat. A great many whose occupation
keeps them indoors constantly invest
. their money in street car rides on cold
days and get along well enough without
the big coat.
A well to do merchant scouts the idea
of more than one coat at time. He
keeps an assortment of coats of varying
weights and uses them in accordance
with the high Or low temperature. He
insists that it is the only way to avoid
colds, which comes from overweight of
clothing that is used in all kinds of win
ter weather-St. Louis Republic.

ETIQUETTE IN NOTE PAPER.
Cautions That the Delicate and Refined
Woman should Remember.

Cautions That the Delicate and Refined
Woman Should Remember.
If there is any one thing in the world
that NAV be said to denote the breeding
of a person it is in the taste displayed in
the use of note paper. Fashions change
but SLIGHTLY in that line, and artistic
simplicity is the form to be sought after
There is nothing so offensive as eccen-
tricity in styles of paper, for it is one of
the little things that seem SO trivial and
count for SO much in the eyes of the
world. The height of bad form is in
the use of anything startling or pro-
nounced. Paper that rivals the sunset
in gorgeousness of hue, odd shaped
sheets and envelopes or gilt edged paper
stamp the user at once us one who is not
familiar with the precepts of fashion.
And not fashion alone, by any means;
it is refinement that is shown in the
use of proper stationery, and refinement
and fashion may not always mean the
samei Never use a paper that's decorated
with flowers in one corner, the leaves of
which wander all over the sheet. Avoid
anything in that way. A landscape re-
sembling Christmas card or fancy
figures for headings are not in their
proper places on note paper. There is
nothing artistic in such forms, nothing
refined, simply display of bad taste
and i'll breeding that is shocking to the
person well informed ON such matters.
The etiquette of note paper is dictated
by taste. Ladies should use only the
smaller size of paper, requiring but one
fold, and the envelope should be square
The single correspondence cards have
gone out of style and are seldom seen
nowadays. The paper is generally linen
or cream laid, as best suits individual
taste and should be unruled White or
cream paper is the best, although gen.
tie shade Of blue is permitted. Other
tints are not desirable, neither are they
proper. Do not use paper that is ragged
at the edges nor envelopes with curious
flaps. The best linen paper may be pur-
chased at tie same price as is paid for
the fancy varieties, and the best is the
cheapest: il is guarantee of refinement.
Ii a monogram is desired, have it en-
graved-never printed. In this country
coats of arms and crests are out of place,
but you may have neat monogram or
your initials for heading with perfect
propriety, only be sure that the work is
in keeping with taste and not too promi-
nent or glaring. The name of your
country place is very good, the name of
the village in which you live, or the
street number if you chance to reside in
a city In the latter case, however,
omit the name of the town, and in either
case the state should not be given.
This is but a glance at the etiquette Of
note paper; it is very simple when you
think of it, but so many people seem to
be ignorant of the rules. The one great
thing in note paper is to avoid vulgarity
or show in any way, and then you know
that you cannot be wrong. The sim
plest is the best. Oddities of tint or or
nanent which are the caprice of day
should be used with caution.-Harper's

The very rich find means for outlay in
almost any direction. A fad just now is
the purchase of expensive whips. A re-
cent writer says that zone presented to
William H. Vanderbilt cost $4,000.
w. K. Vanderbilt has one that cost $3.50.
Pierre Lorillard has one, with carved
ivory handle, that cost $500. Whips
that cost from twenty-five dollars to 500
are favorite articles for presentation,
and America leads the world in making
them. One of the costliest whips was
made in Connecticut for Frenchman.
