THE NOTE ELEGANT.

The Careful Woman Should BE Very
Particular In Her Correspondence.
1t takes. a poet or a woman TO condense
into the few brief sentences of the con-
ventional note the comprehensive, grace
full message of congratulation or condo
lence, the elegant acceptance of invita-
ton, or the exquisite refusal which
never offends. Some one has called wo-
man "the genius of epistolary communi-
cation" and indeed the gift of graceful
letter writing is one peculiar to women,
handed down from mother to daughter
through the mystery of heredity. Ger
tain regulations govern these apparent
ly spontaneous productions, even as q
Browning sonnet in all its mysticism
conforms to the requirements OF verse
structure. In the first place the note
elegant is not written upon the con-
venient correspondence card, but upon
a small sheet of thick cream paper,
either glazed or rough, according as the
writer's taste inclines. The sheet has
at the top the street and number of the
lady's address in plain letters, the name
of her country home, or the town in
which she lives, if it is SO small as to be
without numbered houses. The sheet
is folded once and inclosed in a square
envelope, and is more elegant and cere-
monial if sealed with wax.
AS to the c~hirography, that which is
most illegible is most stylish. If a wom-
an cannot correct her unfortunate habit
of writing so that people a read it in
any other way she uses a quill pen,
which generally brings about the desired
result. The great feature of the stylish
hand is that it has no curves, but is
sharply pointed and the letters are
closely crowded together. The reason
why this style of writing is considered
elegant is that it cannot from its forma-
ton be written hastily. Any evidence
of haste is considered inelegant, whether
it manifests itself in a careless toilet or
in a careless note. The note begins on
the first page, skips to the fourth, and
finishes up by being written across the
sheet on the inside pages. This is one
of the things it is well for a man to re-
member, for sometimes the words of the
fourth page are not read at all, as the
signature is on the third and complica-
tons arise thereby.
One thing for a woman to remember
is that she can never afford to write q
careless note, for some one is certain to
see it and judge her by it just as she is
sure to meet the man for whose opinion
she most cares when she goes out in her
old bonnet.
The woman who wrote in her haste
upon her visiting card, Come with
pleasure" in answer to a dinner invita-
ton, found the gates of society closed
against her ever afterward as one too
busy or too brief for civility. Abbrevia-
tons and numerals are as bad form in
the note elegant as a derby hat with a
dress suit.-New York Sun.

The cranks are still lard at work. Peter
Leonard thinks he has drawn a prize in
the Louisiana lottery and hat Inspector
Byrnes, of New York, has part of the
money. He therefore fingered about the
door of the chief detectives private house
for several days and nights and until he
was arrested. The other crank was prob
ably a subject Of King John Barleycorn.
He had been a butler for August Belmont,
the banker. He was dismissed for drunk
enness. Several times since he has forced
himself into the bankers house and raised
disturbances which have thrown the serv-
ants and ladies of the family int great
CONSERVATION. Mr.. Belmont has made no
charge against ex-Butlsr Nixon, but po-
licemen guard the house for fear that
Nixon may attempt some violence.

Pretty Fancy Dress Costumes for Children

FTttt EhhCy brthSt % Shlluftn.
At a recent children's fancy dress
party given in London many pretty
flower costumes were worn that some
mother may find suggestive for a chill
dren's fete in the future. A poppy dress
had the skirt cut to represent overlap
ping petals of the flower, with a large
single blossom jauntily set on the head,
like a little cap. Other flowers repre-
sented were pansies, wild roses, sunfow-
ers, daisies, sweet peas, lilies of the val.
ley, the mistletoe and the leek. The
finer flowers were dressed in little slips
of silk covered with the blossoms, or in
with fringes, streamers and f~estoons of
flowers.
A golden haired, blue eyed boy of less
than six summers was arrayed as Cupid
in a short Greek chiffon of fine white
wool, bordered with Roman key en-
broideries Ion in pale blue. His shoes
and stockings were of flesh color, his
hair garlanded with pink roses and a
golden arrow in his hand.
A harebell, quite as charming, was in
a little robe of pale blue leaves, dropping
over an underpetticoat of blue chiffon.
With the harebell marched ''Dick Whit.
tington" in rose pink velvet coat, drab
hat and tights, with a white cat under
his arm. After them came two little
sisters dressed as white butterflies, with
white dresses of creamy tissue paper
dotted with gold, and wings of butter,
flies on shoulders, butterfly hats and
fans.-New York Post.

There's danger
in a cough-nore than ever when
your blood is chad" 1t makes
things easy for Consumption. But
there's a cure for it in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. A posi-
tive cure-not only for Weak
Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Bron-
chitis, Asthma and all lingering
Coughs, but for Consumption itself
in all its earlier stages. It's rea-
sonable. All these diseases depend
on tainted blood. Consumption is
simply Lung scrofula. And for
every form of scrofula and blood
faint, the discovery" is a certain
remedy. It's so certain, that its
makers guarantee. it to benefit or
cure, in every case, or the money is
refunded. With a medicine that is
certain, this can be done.
There's a cure for Catarrh, too,
no matter what you've been led to
believe. If there isn't, in your case,
you'll get $500 cash. It's a bona
fide offer that's made by the pro-
prietors of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. There's risk in it, to be
sure, but they are willing to take
the risk-you ought to be glad
to take the medicine.

VIM. Timmous. postmaster OF ldaville,
Ind, writes: Electric Bitters has done
more for me than all other medicines
combined, for that bad feeling arising
from Kidney and Liver trouble" John
Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same
place, says: Find Electric Bitters to be
the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made
me feel like a new man." j.. w. Gardner,
hardware merchant, same town, says:
Electric Bitters is just the thing tor a man

whether he lives or dies; he found new
strength, good appetite and felt just like
he had a new lease on life. Only SOC. a

A well known gentleman in this city
moved into a house that had been pre-
viously occupied by another gentleman
who was a subscriber to one of the even
ing papers. The carrier of course con
tinued leaving the paper for a space of
a year, never having been notified of the
change. The collector recently went
around to collect for the paper, the bill
being made out in the name of the gen.
tleman who had subscribed. When the
collector presented the bill the gentle
man of the house said:
"Why, my dear sir, that man has not
lived here for over a year. You are at
the wrong house."
"Well has not the carrier been leav-
ing you a copy of the paper all the
timer"
Eyes, sir. But 1 did not subscribe,
and | told the boy to quit leaving it.
But he never did So"
you have received the paper every
day, haven't youT'
Eyes, sir"
"Then you ought to pay for it,"
well, excuse me a moment" and the
gentleman went into the house. Re-
turning in a moment he lugged out a
stack of newspapers half as tall as him
self. Here are your papers, sir; | have
no use for them"
He had read them and carefully filed
them away until the bill should be pre-
sented.
The collector sent a transfer wagon to
haul away a years accumulation of
papers, the pay for which he failed to
get, because n man returned them and
the man never received them. -Chatta-

Comes today or comes tomorrow;
Here's a longface who Is moanlngl

Let dull age go weep and pray;
Heed not grief, the ghost there, groaninK.

All, they say that anguish found them,
Men cut down with battle round them
Hear the boys there gayly singingn
In some region far awayl
What care we who laugh today
Bring no tears, whate'er you're bringing;
Honor to the Jocund dayl
What's that sound that cools our laughter
What's that form that follows after
Funeral music sadly sounded
One more man is turned to clay.
Let dull age go weep and prayi
Youth by death was ne'er co~nfounded-
Long shall shine our Jocund dayi
Oh, my dear one, to my weeping
Marble silence sternly keeping,
Lying there in breathless blindness,
Death is never far away.

Dead are they this bitter day.

Next l knew it was climbing up

costly embroidered silk, with the asters in

some of these ladies are very busy. as,
male reporters being mercilessly excluded,
on their shoulders falls the responsibility
of informing the unfortunates without of
what they have missed. Around the saus-
age booth the crowd is so thick that
one can scarce get within speaking
distance of the presiding goddess of the

sausages are hot and tasty. but the gray
haired woman in the costume OF tavern
hostess of the good old days of Branden-
burg when the great grand eleetor came

merry word in her rich-toned voice for all
whom her fame as one of Germany's finest
actresses attracts to the comfortable cor
ner. The beer and refreshments circulate
as rapidly as if the guests were not all of
the fairer sex and indeed, many an ideal
