over the sonnets of Shakespeare or the
prophecies of Isaiah. Not that we really
do put them on level, you know, down
deep in our hearts, but only that we let our
sensitive responsiveness overthrow our
standards of value.
And Just the waste of that one last COM
ponent-nervous energy, is worthy OF being
considered quite by itself, in these days
when one needs all ones nervous energy to
live by. Being very enthusiastic, admiring
things verv hard, makes one as tired as
thinking very hard over mathematics or
scientific problems. And the end of it is
nothing at all.
"But," says some little woman, ''is there
nothing in life worth getting tired for?
Isn't there any place for Enthusiasm
Surely, surely, but there is a difference
in enthusiasm. To get into a fine glow of
admiration over a noble deed or great
thought, that is one thing. To allow one
self to get into an intoxication of enthusi-
asm over almost tanything-that doesn't pay.
What are some of the things that it pays to
be enthusiastic over? Well, let us see:
Over the household holidays, Christmas
and birthdays and Thanksgiving.
Over splendid deed of heroism.
Over unselfishness in men and women.
Over any discovery in science that helps
mankind.
Over the saintsin literature and art.
Over q great man who knows enough not
to be tiresome.
Over a pretty woman who isn't vain.
Over Wagner's music, if you really like it.
Over some babies.

stamp. And there should be an easy chair,
too; wide and deep one into which one
could slip and dream tor little while.
A fresh flower in vase, tiny pot of
ferns or dainty statuette, these are good
to rest the eyes and brighten the iinagina-
tion. The toilet stand should have everv
requisite for the toilet-a little pot of cold
cream. n big bottle Of delicate cologne, a set
of brushes and-wash cloths More host
esses commit the sin of omission as an Irish
woman would say in regard to wash cloths
than in any other way. Towels there are
in abundance, great, big, snowy damaslz
towels, soaps and powders and puffs
yea, and bath sponges even,
but never a wash cloth. And there are still
guests who are old-fashioned enough to
want wash-cloth. and these grope and
plunge and wish and finally compromise
with their own self-respect-and their
hostess towels. And who can blame them?
Wash-cloths, then, q fresh one every dav,
either of linen or flannel, and buttonhook
and a shoe-horn and footbath and whisk
broom and tinv mending basket. Lastly,
if TO all these luxuries you can add this, an
open fire kept bright and clean, and if then
your guests do not love to tarry IN your
home, conclude that something must be
wrong either with your temper or your
guests.

TRRIEING EoR CHILDREN.

nov Cbe hEouern Progressive w oman is
Rearing a Family of Five.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcI1
The American child isn't always the bad
tempered, utterly spoiled youngster that
travellers and foreigners fancy. There are
manr, many homes where he is growing up
from childhood to youth, carefully watched
and guarded and admirably trained, amid
surroundings lovingly adapted to the de-
volopment of the best there IS in him
Parents ere learning more and more every
day to appreciate the advantage OF physical
IS well rs mental training, and to under
s'a2l thar tie two go hand in hand. And
verv fortunate are the children who have
been born into the new order of things.
Five such little people are the children of
Mrs. Richard Watson Glider, the wife of
the editor o. The Ceatary. Mrs. Glider is
deeply interested in the subject of the
training and education of children. and she
tries 10 nut her theories into practical exc
cnton IN 2er own family. She believes
very thoroughly in kiHdergartens and ali of
her children attend one fer two years, from
ine tn2e they are three or four years old
until thev are five or six. After that they
study az nome Tor few wears with a COVER
ness, anc, as .hey grow 20 be large boys and
girls, they will all he sent away to school
Tome Training Isn't Broad Enough
Mrs. Glider thinks that an exclusive home
training IS apt 10 be narrowing in its effects.
and she likes 10 have her little ones brought
into contact with companions of their own
age, that their minds and sympathies NAV
be broadened by learning early in life 70
understand how many needs and interests
there are in the world besides their own.

velveteen, and a sailor blouse of white wool,
with color in the collar and cuffs-pale
blue, or gray, or black and white in broken
stripes. His dress suit may be of pale gray
cloth, with its edges finished by a white
satin piping cord. The coat has its fronts
slopcd away toward top and bottom, and is
open over white silk blouse shirt which
has turned over collar and cuffs A wide
belt of the gray cloth, pointed at top and
bottom, passes across the shirt front and
under the jacket. A white ribbon rosette
ornaments each knee For street his ap-
proved attire is leather leggings that reach
to the thigh and meet there short REFER
coat. In this part the extreme effect of his
legs is reached.
A critical glance at these costumes shows
that, after all, the radical change is only in
the matter of leg ACKNOWLEDGMENT. They
have none of the severity of mans dress.
Nothing could be fuller of charming and
simple variety than the tiny jacket over the
blouse that pillows below, and falls out in
fiutings in front, and rolls over its crimped
rufles at sleeves ana neck. As to the
trousers, if they follow closely and do not
disguise the ousline of the leg, taste cannot
wholly object to them. And, as the tailor
has observed, the boy steps out with light
ness and ease he did not have in skirts, and
is happier in his freedom. Let the boy have
his legs! If only the girl could have hers!
a Dress Suit for Little Boys.
A recherche dress suit for boy of or
thereabouts is of black velveteen. The
coat is French shape, with seam in the
back. 1t Is slightly pointed at back and
front, the outline over the hips being con-
cave. The open front is sloped back
toward top and bottom. 1t is ornamented
with braid. The blouse shirt of white linen
falls below the coat, and has wide collars
and cuffs and frills The coats for such
small boys are without collars, the blouse

GEORGE W. CHILDS on WIRES
The Lighter Are Dispiacing the Heavy at
Dinners and Many Use None.

The Lighter Are Dispiacing the Heavy at
Dinners and Many Use None.
It is an undoubted fact that the serving
of many and heavy wines at large dinners Is
gradually becoming thing of the past,
writes George W. Childs in the Ladies Home
Journal. Of course, 1 do not mean that
wines are no longer served, for they are and
will continue to be, so long as civilized men
consider them feature Of dinners. But 1
do m can that of the varieties of wine
there are fewer, of the quantities less, and
of the qualities lighter, than was the custom
ten wears ago.
Were preparing for large dinner for
men-which is always from the nature of
things more heavily wined than an ordinary
'mixed" dinner-I should not think it in
the least degree necessary to order any
thing like the same amount or assortment
Of wines that would have been imperative a
few years ago. And in extenuation of the
statement that the qualities of the wines
served are becoming lighter. the simple fact
that at the average English dinner table
port wine has been almost entirely super
seded by ciaret, may be cited. 1t is also
becoming very ordinary thing at English
dinners to meet prominent men who do not
drink wines of any kind, and in our country
this is also becoming more and more tact.

A HOME FOR THE GUEST.

The Chamber should o. Place Where She
Can Rest Quietly.
WRITTEN FOE THE DIsPATcH.r
More than any of the sleeping rooms of
the family should the guest chamber have a
cozy and hospitable air about it. 1t is not
a place alone where the invited guest goes
to sleep; it is his or her Withdrawing room,
the one safe, sole spot 10 which the tired or
busy guest can go to draw a few deep breaths
without being aware of it. Because visiting
is to q sympathetic and responsive guest,
sometimes q little wearing.
And so the room tor the guest should be
the most reStful and kindly in its atmos-
phere that the skill of the little house
mistress is able to plan. 1t should have
divan in it, for one thing-a big cozy divan
with pillows, and there should be a little
shelf with well-selected books hanging so
near the divan that an outstretched arm
will bring them. Then there should be
little spirit lamp and tiny kettle close 10
the divan with a teacup and tiny jar of
choice tea, so that the tired occupant can
have cup OF tea or hot waite, if she wants
it. without having to ask the hostess for it.
OF course there should be writing table
with ANYTHING that a writer could want,

while the envelope is severely plain.
Among the fancy note papers-by which
term the clerks in the stationers' shops
designate all decorated stationery-the only
variety seen at present that conforms to
good taste is a dull gray, with tiny feur
de lis in silver in the upper left-hand
corner of the sheet and in the flap that closes
the envelope.
All envelopes are either square or very
slightly oblong. A new envelope which is
somewhat longer than it is wide, and trife
larger than the ordinary note size, has q
diagonal flap instead of the usual pointed
one.
A variety that is certainly>in bad taste is
bright blue with monogram in white.
With this white ink is to be used Another
that is in perfect taste is cool gray, wholly
unornamented save for the house address in
small silver letters.

CoIored Designs on Glass.

An invention has been patented in Ger
many for producing colored designs on the
polished, engraved or etched glass surfaces
or mirrors The method, by which some
pretty decorative effects are achieved, con-
sists in depositing film or coating of
cadmium salt thereon, subjecting this coat
ingN to the action of sulphuretted
hydrogen or ammonium sulphide, whereby
the colorless cadmium sulphide is converted
into yellow cadmium suIphide, and then ap-
plying a coating of metal toll to the colored
surface for protection or additional orna-
mentation. The process is finished by ap-
plying coating of silver over the whole
surface of the glass in the usual manner.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

Burdette Says She Has Gained Much in
Freedom and Lost Some, Too.
Now woman can do anything she tries,
even to singing bass in her own quartet of
girls, so that weak man is superfuity in
the choir, writes Robert J. Burdette in
the Ladies Home Jo,srnaI. She has harnessed
her grace-hoops tandem, and made bicycle
of them; she rows, she fishes, she shoots,
insomnch that all men, and it may be that
some game, fear her shooting Coke; she
weareth her brothers hat, and his outing
cap; his shirt front, his four-in-hand tie,
and many things that are her brothers.
She is stronger than her mother, and can
stand great deal more rest; she is quite as
happy, and far more independent. She
hangs onto the strap in the street car when
her mother had seat in the omnibus if
every man rode outside in the rain.
She gets jjostied and pushed about in the
crowd, when some bareheaded man, bow
ing low, used to make way for her grand
mother With weary patience she stands
in line at the ticket office; woe is she if she
presume on the privilege of sex to step in
ahead of a man; she gets hustled back to
her place. Much she hath gained by
freedom; somewhat, also, hath she lost.

collar falling over them. The neckties are
of bias silk, and of white for dress occasions.
The head coverings are caps of material
to match the suit Velveteen, with a gros-
grain bandeau, is popular. There is choice
between an English shape, with visor, and
the round jockey cap. A felt of sugar
loaf form, with soft creased crown and
stiff-rolled brim, is also in use. There Is
also the sailor cap, to wear with the still
popular sailor suit.
For boys somewhat older, say of 8 years,
the dress suit is in three pieces. There is a
style with long coat, called ''colonial. }"

The Mashonaland Husband Prays for the

The Mashonaland Husband Prays for the
Firth of Daughters.
All opinions concur as to the utter worth
lessness of the Mashona as laborer or as
servant, says Lord Randolph Churchill in
a letter written The DISPATCH from Mash
onaland. They rarely stay more than a
fortnight with any one person, and almost
always bolt should any blankets or clothing
be given them. One of our trio alone re-
mained faithful, '"Tiriki'' by name. He
told me that he was very anxious to get
married, as if he was lucky his wife might
have daughters which he would be able to
sell in exchange for goats.
1t seems that in Mashonaland boys are
perfectly worthless articles. 1 asked him
how much it would cost to buy wife, to
which he replied that 10 buy very pretty
wife required seven things. Two goats,
two blankets, two spades and some other
article to be specified according to the taste
or fancy of the vendor. Tiriki has remained
with me till now, and WILL hope, before
leave Mashonaland be in position to ac-
quire the wife he longs for, more especially
as he told me he had girl in his eye who
might be bought up before long by someone
richer than he.

one that is small and rather narrow and put
it just above the large middle one. In this
way you will have Il group that is graceful
and effective. So much depends upon the
pictures You have and the space at your dis
posal, that it is impossible to lay down
very exact rules with regard to grouping.
Be sure not to hang your pictures too high
unless you balance them with bookcases
underneath, and do not place heavy oil
paintings side by side with light water
colors
Always place the most important picture
over the mantel, as every room is focused
at the hearth stone. That is the center of
attraction, and if you fail to emphasize it,
there will be felt want. Or if you have
no large picture, long narrow mirror,
placed lengthwise over your mantel- l-board,
and a row of etchinrs or water-colors hung
above it, will give the desired effect

on Every Opportunity.

Do you know little women, that you and
I and most other women, spill out our en-
thusiasm too lavishly? Enthusiasm is COM
pounded of about the best that is in us-a
sensitive love OF the good and the beautiful,
a forgetfulness of self, quick imagination
and considerable nervous energy. Isn't
that rather precious ointment to pour out
too lavishly? Yet we do it constantly,
don't we. We grow as enthusiastic over a
new bonnet as we could over the discovery
of new solar system, we lavish as vivid
praise over the latest society novel as we do

paper. 1t must occur to one, therefore,
that, just because this ornamentation is new,
it is to be avoided. If one must do ones
mourning through the means OF stationery,
We should at least not seek novelty in it.
For ordinary use the newest papers are of
thick satin with finish that is neither
rough nor smooth-"dull" is perhaps the
word that best expresses it.
The tints are either cream white or pale
gray, and the ornamentation is either in
black or in silver. The sizes are in note
and billet. There is less and less instinct
for ornamentation on note paper. Many
persons will no longer use monogram or
initial, the address or the coat of arms be-
ing all that is permitted on the sheet,

A change has come into the dress of little
boys 1t stole silently in when none knew
it. Haranguing had no part in bringing it
about. The little boys did not fill the land
with discussions as to hygienic improve
ments ill dress; they went to work and
effected a revolution and reform without
saying word. Whether mountain high
conglomerate of tears and kicks and peuts
were toppled down upon the hearts of the
mothers 10 crush them into submission, or
whether q simple involuntary appeal for
the common rights of man has won the vic
tory, it has come about that in the matter
of dress our boys are now boys from the
word-Go.

Doubtless the best way is not
to call at all, but to ring the bell for Thomas
and let him carry the message needed to be
sent to the di0ant member of the family
But, owing to circumstances over which
they have no control, there are people who
cannot do this. They are frequently obliged
to make their voice save their heels-as it
were.
The head of the family needs William in
hurry. She knows most of the family are
downstairs, and she supposes William is
there too. With this much knowledge, and
her imperative necessity in her mind, the
head of the family pushes to the door of
her room and calls:
"Williamp' "Willlamr' "Williamv'
Now it happens that William has Just
stepped out into the street. or perhaps he
is in the cellar, or it may be he is upon the
housetop. Anyway, he is out of hearing.
But in the room below, understanding per-
fectly the frantic appeal, repeated repeat
edly-sit Mary, John and Kate. They know
William is wanted-badly. They know
William isn't there, or where he can answer.
They know William will be called for until
some knowledge of his whereabouts is OBJ
tanned. Yet there they sit-and sit un-
needing. Not until the wronged woman
above goes down, and, discovering the
situation, asks fercely why somebody
couldn't tell her William wasn't there, do
they look up.
civilian wasn't here, they repeat calm
ly all together. "And whv couldn't you
tell me that?" demands the indignant and

The Tuxedo Coat for Big Boys.

Larger boys wear the Tuxedo coat, which
has q shawl collar faced with silk. This is
dress coat merely. Another coat, suita-
BILE for either dress or street, is three-but-
ton cutaway, bound with braid. The correct
material for these dress suits is undressed
worsted. Knee trousers are worn up to the
age of IA, and often beyond, depending on
the size and the style of the boy. School
suits for boys OF all ages are OF dark blue
cheviots or of Scotch plaids, made with a
double-breasted coat and edges simply
stitched. Your tiny son can have also a
house jacket that is miniature of his
fathers smoking coat. It is of fancy plaid,
with cord on the edge and about the pocket
holes and fastenings. Or it may be of
velveteen, with silk quilted tacings of color
and fastenings of passementeries.
In overcoats for boys of all ages there is
choice between the REFERS and the long
cape ulsters. The REFER is a coat after the
active boys own heart, because it is short
and offers no hindrance when he is on skate
or wheel. 1t is made of chinchilla, with
velvet collar and braid binding, and is but
toned to the neck. Very dressy ones are
made also of cloth trimmed with fur; either
seal, Persian lamb or beaver The colors
most in vogue are dark blue and dark
brown

field of kersey with velvet trimmings. The
long ulster with the two-thirds cape is a
comfortable driving coat. The plaid ulster
is the approved storm coat.
