there always, and beneath the picture is
another cushioned divan. When the bright
fire fiickers in the chimney how cozy and
comfortable is this hall, and how the men,
bers of the family would hate to separate
to go to other places less pleasant!
The magnificent home of Thomas A. Edi-
son at Llewellyn Park has just such anoth-
er delightful hall, with a cozy cushioned
corner beyond the fireplace, with a wide
window, which gives a fine view Of much
of New Jersey and some of New York. In
this corner are a few books, a vase with a
handsome palm and some of the easiest Of
easy chairs. A great and richly carved
black walnut settle and two or three ia
bles, with flowers, and soft rugs under feet,
make this a place to stay in forever. g
Another hall in Mr.. ]. H. R~emington's
new home in Brooklyn is another evidence
of what taste can perform under a wom-
ans guidance in the way Of making a hall
mean something more than a place to enter
the house by. A hall like this is a well
come, and it is a pleasure. 1t is square,
with richly draped doors on two sides.
The windows are large and curtained with
Irish point lace, and thus it is light. The
staircase turns once only, and is open, with
simply a balustrade. Thick Turkish rugs
cover the floor, and great high backed
cushioned easy chairs and a big settle stand
around the open fireplace. Two or three
stands of plants and a table with books
and a reading lamp make this hall one of
the pl~easantest in the whole great house.
The horrid dining room paintings of dead
game and uncooked fish and vegetables
are forgotten now, and pretty etchings or
handsome oil paintings have taken their
places. The books that used to be ranged
upon high shelves in a cold and uncom-
panionable fashion are now put on low
shelves all around the room, and q hand

HUMAN NATURES INEQUALITIES.

The Sort of Consolation a Philosopher
Finds in His Thoughts.
"I've lost faith in human nature, = is the
common expression Of many who have been
deceived by strangers or wronged by pre-
tended friends.
|"Idon't believe in anybody or anything,1n
says the cynic.
when all is said and done life is not
worth living" say the bruised and heart
broken men and women who have grown
weary of the fight.
Not one in a hundred who utters such a.
sediment believes a word of it. No, not
even while it seems wrung from them by
apparently justifying circumstances 1t is
the utterance of the sublime egotist. HUI
map nature deceives only those who mis-
take human nature. Having assumed it
to be something it is not, they are disap-s
pointed because it disturbs their cherished
and carelessly constructed ideal. Human
nature is weak and beautiful and change
able and true, and bad and solid and full
Of holes. The man who is conversant with
and really close to human nature is never
disappointed in it. If we are equally good
and true and irrevocably upon the same
perfect plane physically, intellectually and
morally, then indeed life would not be
worth living.
Perish the philosophy which would re-
duce us to that.
Life is alone worth living because Of its
inequalities, as beauty is worshiped be-
cause of it's rarity and strength and good
ness, and riches give pleasure because Of;
their widely contrasting opposites. On the
dead level of equality we might as we'll be
so many senseless hogs in the warm mud
fat, in~sentient, fit only to eat, lie in the!
warm sun and to roll over and die. With
nothing to stimulate love or hatred, with
nothing to provoke laughter or tears, with
nothing to command respect or awaken
contempt, with no incentive to thought
and no use for physical strength, withsno
ambition and no development-that is just.
what we would be. &s
Thank God, l say, for the weaknesses,
the strength, the goodness, the badness
the beauty, the ugliness, the grandeur, the
insignificance of human nature! For in
this ~unevenness we reach the highest phys
ical, mental and moral development, and
in it we find the greatest happiness and
the most reasonable excuse for living

beginning to combine real comfort with
artistic beauty. How many of us can call
to mind the stiff and uncomfortable and
unhomelike manner of furnishing our par
lors, no matter how extensively it was
done. Our halls were like barns, for all
that was in them designed for the comfort
of the inmates or the visitor. A stiff hat
rack and perhaps a carved chair or two,
and that was all. The dining room was
simply a place to eat and display ones sill
verware in, and the bedrooms had little or
no cozy arrangement of easy chairs and
comfortable couch where one could cud-
die down for a quiet rest or a good chat
with some one whose friendship merited
the privilege of this sweet communion.
Sometimes there would be a good sized
family living room, where there would be
some comfort, if a corresponding amount
of confusion. Now it is different. Whether
women awoke to the fact that their homes,
however, splendid, were not as comfortable
as other places, and that if they wanted
their husbands and sons to love home as
the one haven and refuge from all ills, it is
hard to say, but some leader among women
did awake, and the result is that today the
homes of the millionaires, as we'll rs the
homes Of the poorest, depend more OIL the

their attractiveness.
Halls are now differently planned and
made into cozy places where any one might
love to sit. The hall at Mrs. Ogden Goe-
let's palace home, for instance, has Il great
deep fireplace, and on eitherside area richly
carved oaken chest and chair. There is a
flight of stairs that turns in squares, and
over the balusters are thrown rich rugs.
On one side is Il wide and long divan,
with a fur rug in front, and it is piled with
cushions. Under the stairs is an alcove,
with a large painting, and a light burns

then the settles with unlimited cushions,
the good old rocking chairs with their soft
head rests, and the thousand and one things
that women can invent for comfort or.
beauty that are now sanctioned by fashion!
A gown designed on purpose, a longing
dress, for the mother of a large family OF
grownup sons. and who has a jolly, good
natured husband, is a success, if their
delighted praise is proof. 1t is of OK
blood red cashmere, with gimp and fore
arms of rich gold and black brocade and a
tasteful garniture OF black velvet ribbon
two inches wide. All of the dress proper
is of the red cashmere. They declare that
she makes warmth and sunshine wherever
she goes. I do not mind admitting pri-
vately that I AVE copied that gown my
self. 1t is 30 comfortable to slip on after a
morning at,the milliner's OF. dressmaker's,
and it is bright and lights up rainy day
with a point of brilliant color. III
Speaking of comfortable things reminds
me of a shopping costume a friend of mine
brought from London last week. The gown
was made with a plain skirt just reaching
the ground and bordered with three very
narrow roleaux of krimmer. l should
have said that the material is pepper and
salt" cheviot. There are two pocket lids
bound with krimmer, and the corsage is
outlined with it. Large oxidized buttons
close it on the left side. Where one does
not wish to be burdened with a wrap or
coat a channels vest can be worn, but if so
it must be removed Immediately on return.
ing home.
While my own taste would prefer the
English gown on account of it's trim neat
ness, many others would prefer the walk
ing costume because it has II, greater APP
pearance of novelty, though l presume our
great grandmothers wore something very
similar. The dress is made of thick corded
black biarritz, is opened all the way down
the front and is fastened with Invisible
hooks and eyes. All around the bottom is u
band of leather colored cloth, and this has
atrimming of moss green feather stitching
between rows of very narrow green SOU
tache braid. The gimp and simulated
cuffs are made of the same material. The
deep cape rufle adds a distinctive style to
the costume. A black velvet poke bonnet,
with green plumes, goes with this.
The empire styles, it seems to me, have
reached the height of their popularity, and

Improving the Mind.

Women in Political Work.

1t is not a little remarkable that nearly
every country that admits the right of a
woman to succeed to the crown has had
female sovereigns in the highest rank as
patriotic statesmen and skillful admins
traitors. The names of Isabella of CASTLE
and Maria Theresa will rise at once to every
lip, and it is even more notable that in
India, where the general position of women
is SO degraded, many native states have
been governed by able and devoted female
sovereigns.
But the most valuable historical evi-
dence of the capacity of women for political
affairs is to be found in the names of the
English queens. Mary. the wife of Will
liam III, is hardly to be counted, for
though in name a queen regnant, her pol
iticai influence was hardly more han that
of a queen consort. But if we take the
other four queens regnant, three of them,
Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria, occupy the
highest position on the rollcall of sover-
eigns who have been successful in building
up the strength Inc glory of England, de-
veloping her power and resources at home
and abroad in frugal domestic administra-
ton, and in subordinating private desires
and inclinations to political duties.
The high percentage of first classes and
the small percentage of failures among
women who have reigned appear to indi-
cate in a pretty decisive manne that wom-
en- have at any rate no natural l~ncapacity
to grasp the import Of political AFFAIRS

1t is notorious fact that the good people
of OwOssO can not leave our churches after
the evening service, without meeting with

sidewalks for One-half block. A large
number of these border-men were smoking
cigarettes and did not hesitate to puff the
smoke into the faces of the passers, crowd
them from the walks, often making uncom-
plimentary If not insulting remarks, and
upon the whole, arousing the Indignation
