He Should BE Able to Select a
Supper, but if He's Not
Anything special you wish? Well,
how does this strike you? Say, Blue
Points on the hslf-shell, roast mallard
duck, lobster salad, bottle of fizz and
cafe noir and Siberian punch FOR fin
ish?"
'Delicious,r said the girl end it was
delicious, says the New York World.
Not the least part OF the pleasure was
the fact that the young man had brains
enough to order the little supper with
out insisting upon her help. If she
didn't feel quite as we'll as usual the
next day that was her fault, not his.
She told him what comfort it was to
have an escort who understood these
things, and lie was immensely pleased,
but made the usual remark:
81 should think any fellow would
know enough for that"
"They DON'T" said the girl, conf
den TALLY, and under the stimulating
influen nee of the mallard duck she went
on:
"Nine-tenths of the men who take a
woman out to supper after the theater
expect her to do all the thinking. Pm
so used to it that don't mind, but to-
night felt as if did want a change"
and she paused for dazzling smile.
What do you order when you are
doing it yourself?" asked the young
man, after lie had basked a moment.
''That depends entirely Oh tile escort.
l adapt myself to circumstances. Say,
for instance, Pm with Uncle John or
some staid midde-aged friend of papa,
I'll order porter-house steak, with mush-
rooms. potatoes au gratin and burgundy.
He'll think Pm the most sensible girl
he's met yet. and he'll want to take me
out again the very next week." And
the student of human nature chuckled
softly to herself.
The young man was getting inter-
eSted.
"If Pm with a gentle youth, like
Charley Blank, who is aesthetic in his
tastes" resumed the maiden, s''of course

long front paror of New York houses.
Mysterious cabinets line the walls from
floor to ceiling. In case near
the window are glass jars filled
with large and small brushes. The
former are well-made wOOien-backed,
dark-brlstled London hair brushes, the
latter long, narrow, ivory-backed
brushes, used to apply the tonic for
which this house is famous. A faStidi-
Gus woman who has not her own pair of

Behind Theoretically sealed glass doors
are hung in row switches of various
lengths. sizes and colors, varying in
price from IS to $500. "A switch may
now be bought for $50 or $50 that used
to cost $500" said the clever and at
tractive proprietor. Gray hair is the
most expensive. Bleached hair is the
least expensive. Golden tlntS are no
thing.
Women like to please their hus-
bands. A lady i'll here yesterday said
that her husband admired her hair. He
had confessed to having ridden up four
blocks beyond where he was going on
purpose to admire a head of blonde
hair. His wife, instead of flying into
passion. simply came to me and asked
me to color her hair Titan red-with
the results to be expected in woman
of fifty.

dark. Gray hair is beautiful. and it

known New York journalist if it were
not for her gray hair? Still, it Is hard
for women to reconcile themselves to
the first gray streakS. There is Mrs.
H., one of the Four Hundred, complain
ing to the attendant because there is a
streak of gray on the right side of her
head and Zone on the left.
'sIf women wish to keep their hair in
good condition they should bursh it
thoroughly night and morning and have
it washed once month. Then, besides,
it Is good thing to have dry shampoo
about two weeks after the wet.
''The difference between a dry and a
wet shampoo is that when the ends OF
the hair and the bang have been clipped
and about half pint of the tonic
rubbed into the scalp and the hair, if it
is to be a dry shampoo the hair is simply
brushed thoroughly. Otherwise it is
washed in warm water with soap and
rinSed with warm and afterward cold
water until the water running from it is
perfectly clear. --
For the street the hair should be
braided and coiled at the middle of the
head. For evening the hair is worn
more deliberately dreSSed-iow down, if
the neck is long; high, if MOTTO suit the
contour of the head, and not fashion.
More false hair is worn than formerly.
Shell is not so much in demand. Young
dancing girls wear the hair waved at
the side. A jewel may be worn, but
young girls dispense even with that"

to women, and there are stockholders
all over America and even in faraway
Japan and Africa. The company en-
ploys only one lonely man, who over

factory. A long search was made for a
woman to fill this position, but none had
the technical knowledge necessary. Six
thousands cans of fruit a day are turned
out. Last week the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:

Rosina Off the Stage.

New York World.
Rosina Vokes, in her own home, they
tell US, is by no means the gay and bubs
bling Rosina Vokes of the stage. She is
almost morbid, and the only thing that
cheers her up is some form of outdoor
amusement. While skating, riding,
driving, walking. or even running, she
is happy. She once broke collar bone
during an exciting foot race in England,
but that has not in the least diminished
her ardor for the sport.

Out of PurgatOry.
New York World.

During the last few weeks the Roman
populace have been saying that Beatrice
Cenci is now out of purgatory. The
legend runs that when, during the pom
tifcate of Clement Will. Beatrice Cenci
was executed for the crime OF parricide,
the people, who pittied her greatly,
said that God had not sent her to hell,
but into purgatory. At that time the
property of the Cenci family was Sc
Questrated, but when Paul Borghese be-
came pope he fastened to distribute it
among his nephew5. This favor, it was
said, would only last until Beatrice was
released from purgatory. Now that the
Borgheses are ruined it is commonly re-
peated in Rome that the punishment is
ended and Beatrice liberated.

A RURAL THANKSGIVING.

"The past rises before me like .

back in the good old times before the
war, in the middle section of the Wa
bash valley. The glorious, mellow, yell
low, late autumnal days have come. In
dian summer is past, it is true, but its
aroma still fingers ON the brown mead
ows and in the gloriously varicolored
woods. At least year In three we
have "late springs and late falls" as the
farmers say, and this is n of the years.
The frost is on the pumpkin, but lightly
as yet, and the fodder is in the shock,
though the cattle still browse a little
and are fattening in the stalk fields. from
which the yellow corn has just been
gathered.

There was a partial eclipse of the

by weeks of lying in the cellar. And
the small boy-how he does enjoy this
season! These are the days when he
"slips off at afternoon recess" gives the
school house the ''cold shake" and hur-
res to the south woods, there to gather
the big green walnuts in piles; pounds
the soft bulls off and picks out the nuts,
pausing occasionally to crush n with
a convenient stone for immediate con-
sumption. His lips are stained; his
hands are dyed and dull brown; he
knows sit will never come off till it
wears off" and that the chances are
ever that he will get whaled, but still
he does it as he did it last year, and as
he will do it again. We all did it.
1t is the day before Thanksgiying-a
glorious, golden, sunshiny and stimulat-
ing day-and the old farmyard is full Of
life. Red Pete, as we call last years
gobbler, is strutting about in the glory
of freshly attained adult gobblerhood,
as proud and important as if he were
directing the proceedings. He is in a
sense, though he little imagines the
sense. "Our riot dooms him to bleed to-
day." as Pope says, but not having our
reason he can look on in the happiness
of ignorance. The chopping block,
staked fast for the convenience of cut
ting kindling, is before his eyes, and just
beyond the ak is on the grindstone, but
he little imagines that it all has any ref
erence to him; that he is the central
figure in the coming proceedings. Heis
lovely in life, and in death he will be
divided, the preacher and the poor get
ting their share.
The wife and mother takes stock of
ducks and chickens, but talks Of the So
cial features. Will the boys get home
from Asbury university? They will, for
the ''spondulix," as college boys in
those days called the remittance, was
sent in time, and even now the younger
brother has gone 70 the country depot to
fetch them home in the old farm wagon.
Thanksgiving morning-the light break
fast is soon dispatched, for that is a
small affair on such a day. There IS a
general brushing up, and all are off to
the country church. The preacher and
his wife return with the family, and
about l o'clock the great event of the
day is on.
All are there-the two boys from
college, the hired man and one or two
cousins, the oldest girl of the family and
the rosy checked farmer she married a
year or so before. The baby is laid on
the bed in the nearest room, and there is
always at least one little girl so fond of
children that she volunteers to watch
him. The happy group is seated, the
preacher has his devotional say and ac-
tual business begins. Red Pete shines
once more, in culinary beauty this time,
but it is positively his last appearance on
these shores. And then the long after
noon of social chat and innocent merri-
ment, and the evening in which the
young people take possession of the
house! Such was Thanksgiving in the
good old times, such for the most part
it still is, and such may it long continue
to be. Woo.

FOUND IN THE STREET.
A Deck of Cards That Can Not he Dupli-

a Il formed n of a small dinner
party, and after the coffee had been
served the four men in the party adj
journed to the library to enjoy a cigar
and a game or two of whist.
"When my host produced the paste
boards | noticed that the design on
the back of no two cards was alike and
that the colors also varied. On being
dealt my hand / also found that on
the face of every card was written the
name of some street aud a date, and
IN every instance those we're different.
When taking leave of my host that
night asked him about it.
That pack of cards he said, can
not be matched in this CITY. 1t is 3
wonder. Beside. it was very cheap,
not having cost me a cent, as every
card in it | picked up in the street.
One night, seven years ago., when
walking along Park Row.I saw a play
ing card lying on the sidewalk. and a
sudden thought struck me. Why not
try to get an entire deck in that way,
marking each card with the place
where it was found, the time and
date? | started my strange search
and persevered, and you have seen the
result tonight.

The Homestead strike. that ha

The Homestead strike, that has
continued for the past five months,
has reached a crisis. Official action
will be taken at once to decide
whether 1T is policy to continue the
struggle. Early this morning the
national officers of the Amalga-
mated association returned to Home
stead and are now in secret confer
ence with the mechanics and
laborers who joined in the strike
through sympathy for their fellows.
Another conference will take place
with the members of the Amalga-
mated association. 1t is at this time
impossible to obtain any expression
of opinion from the members Of the
advisory board, but it seems certain
that the strike, as a strike, will be
declared off. There yet remains a
strong feeling among the members OF
the Amalgamated association against
giving in, and if they continue to
strongly oppose the idea of a surren.
der it is possible that they will hold
together and fight it out. The me.
chanics and laborers will, however,
as a result of the conference, be re-
leased from their obligations OF
remaining out On the strike with the
Amalgamated men, and it will be
left to their own option about accept
ing employment at the mill. No
matter how the matter may end, the
strike is over. Applications from the
old men are pouring into the mill in
unusual numbers today. As there
are but few vacancies to be filled the
men were temporarily turned away.
The first business failure since the
strike occurred this morning. S. No
giles, who has been in business for
six years, conducting a clothing store,
was forced to close up his store. His
affairs are in the hands of the sheriff.
but it is thought he will be able to
effect satisfactory adjustment and
resume business.
