How a Perfect Lady" Acts.

No lady who is rude to her servants,
who gets into RACES and abuses them, will
ever win the mysterious and difficult title
of perfect lady. Again, no lady who is
hail fellow we'll met with her servants,
who chatfs them, or who makes friends
with them too obviously, can obtain it.
That sort of lady may be liked, may be
loved indeed, but she will not be called
perfect. "A very pleasant spoken lady"
''as good tempered a lady as ever lived"
or possibly "a very familiar lady"-a some
what Malaproprian expression in occa-
sional use-but not "a perfect lady"
A perfect lady means a lady who keeps
to her own place-or what is considered to
be her place by those who use the words.
She is a lady who let's it clearly be seen
that she is incapable of doing anything for
herself that servant can possibly do for
her, whether it be putting on Goals or tidy
ing a room, who is always somewhat eX-
pensively dressed, who keeps perfectly
calm and self possessed whatever accidents
happen, who coldly polite to her interiors,
and yet never rude, and who, in fact,
treats her household as if they were made
of a different clay. This is the perfect
lady Truly a not very interesting or
amiable 1igure.-London Spectator

a physician said: with some women I
am told the main object of wearing cor
set is that they shall have fine busts, but
as a matter of fact corset wearing is ac-
Countahe for the lack of development that
one sees in many young women of the day.
Were they to throw away their corsets
they would find that i'll a short time the
longed for development would come, and
unless they were uncommonly lean or in
poor health they would not have so very
long to wait either. In all the photo
graphs of wild women that one sees,
whether they are Sioux, Sumatrans or
South Sea Islanders one observes that a
lack Of bust development is the exception
and not the rule. Nature is nature every
time, and natural woman is healthy woni-
an under ordinary circumstances and con-
dltions. | may state that it is hot always
well to be too precipitate in this matter of
throNing aside the corset
The best way for a woman to rid her
self of corsets is to first loosen them up
and wear them that way for few weeks.
This will in itself give her great freedom
and Will prepare her for the greater COM
fort which she is sure to enjoy later when
she shall have finally cast off her tightly
buckled shield and made of herself Who'll
ly free woman. Then let the strings be
let out still further and further, until the
ribs of the corset give actually no support
t. the back, when they may be discarded.
In this particular, you will see, there is no
exception TO the rule that radical and ex-
IRENE measures suddenly applied often re-
suit disastrously. 1t is better to take the
reform III hand with determination not
to pursue it too hastily.
Yes, | have no objection to what are
known as waists They are all well
enough, il the women must wear some
thing to keep them in shape, as they call
it. There is great deal of difference
between the reeds and bamboos in the
waists and the steel and whalebone of the
uorsete. Compared with the corsets they
are, indeed, quite harmless. San Fran

The question of woman's most attractive
sge was recently discussed by an artist, an
author and a woman ofsociety The artist
said he did not like to paint the portraits
of those between the ages of twenty -five
and forty years. Before twenty-five, the
face has an expectancy which charms. 1t
is looking forward with joyous freshness
and hope, and it is full of puzzling prom
Uses. At forty years the character is
formed, and the lines of the countenance
are stronger in the painters study; but in
intervening years the face has lost it's ex-
pectancy, is apt 20 be Indifferent. and has
no particular interest. The author diff
fered. lie liked TO study women between
the ages of thirty and forty. They had
then the experience of the world and the
joyousness of youth. In those years they
were brightest and most interesting.
The society woman thought that it was
impossible to give general answers to the
question, as individual women differ in
regard to the most attractive age Some
are most charming at sixty years, while
others have passed their prime Mt twenty.
At thirty or upward the best nature of n
woman will show to every advantage, but
probably the balance of opinion turns in
favor of eighteen to twenty-five. Taking
everything into consideration the best an
swer would be That women are always in
teresting to the friends who love them. -

anything about the quality of different
brands Of -four, or can tell whether they
are using -four of choice or OF an inferior

There are various methods Of testing
-four, but this is one of the simplest: Take
some -four in the left hand, add a little
water, and with the right forednger mix a
rather stiff dough in the hand
Let it stand few minutes, then knead
and work in the hand. If the -four is good
