HOW TO RETAIN FRIENDS.
Advice to a. Girl Concerning Her Social
Relations.

Advice to q. Girl Concerning Her Social
Relations.
It may be taken as general rule
that no woman can retain her friends
who can not control her temper. What
she thinks may be right, but because 1t
is SO no excuse can be found for her
going into long quarrelsome argu-
ment, raising her voice and making
her hostess and all the other guests
uncomfortable. Then the people must
know that she is to be relied upon;
that she is not going to bring the daily
worries of her life into the social at
mosphere, but that she is certain to
bring her mite of agreeableness to add
to all other mites until the perfection
of enjoyment is achieved, and the
pleasant side of everybody is seen and
enjoyed. The woman who wishes to
keep her friends must steer clear of
vital subjects on which they may diff
fer religion or politics being especially
undesirable for discussion.
Be pleasant and agreeable to all men
who may be in your own social world,
but give no one man the right to
especially claim you until the veritable
Prince Charming appears. To retain,
ones friends one must also respect
their social rights, ana by this l mean
that il their hospitality is accepted 1t
must be catered to properly in the way
of dress and manner, and that the girl
shows wisdom, who, invited to very
elaborate affair and feeling that she
can not afford even simple dress, re.
fuses the invitation rather than NOR.
tify the hostess by being out of tune in
the general harmony. Consideration is
one of the greatest claims girl car
have. Ruth Ashmore, in Ladies' Home

A BROKEN-HEARTED DOG.
He Sorrows Over the Death of His
Old Master ald Pines Away.


san Francisco Call.
''Well, maybe not-maybe not" l
heard a man say the other day. sit may
be that the lower animals are incapable
of feeling grief to any great extent, but
let me tell you of dog my father once
had, and L thing you will agree with me
that there are exceptions to the rule.
"Ihe dogs name was Duke. One Of
the earliest recOilectiOnS | have is that
of my father riding into the yard one
day with the little plump pup in his
arms.
Duke grew up with us children as
though ne were one Of the family, sure
enough. He would play and eat with
US, and all but sleep with us. There
was but one person In the world he
preferred to US, and that was my father
"The attachment of Duke to my
father was the wonder of the neighbor-
hood. 1t was very seldom they were
separated for any length Of time during
the day, and in snch case they were
equally discOnsOlate.
Duke was almost ten years old when
my father died. AT SUCH a time. of
course, no one could be expected to give
much heed to dog. L doubt if any one

fathers death had upon Duke until we
moved across the river into town and
rented the old cOuntry-seat to a tenant.
Then we couldn't help see it.
Every night that dog would steal
from the house and swim the river to
the OLD home.
Every morning, in compliance with
our request, the tenant would drive
him back. 1t was of little use, how
ever. for Duke would always come
back, and, in a heartless, detected
way, go over to the old familiar haunts
where he had always before found his
master.
"In some vague way he seemed to
realize that the cemetery held all that
was left Of his friend, and would spend
hours at time beside the grave, but al
ways with an uncertain air, as if he was
not quite sure.
1.-The change in Duke was a matter Of
concern to us all. From the romplng,
bounding, lively fellow of few weeks
before he had become quiet, dull-eyed
chap, full of midnight winnings and
mysterious disappearances.
1--WE knew it was grief that was kill
ing him.
zone morning, after a longer search
than usual, we found him lying dead in
the cemetery beside his masters grave"

SILVER AND GREEN.

Charming Spring Effects in Table
Decorations Of These Two Col
Ors.
A table entirely decorated in green
and silver, without vestige of stronger
color, has fresh aud spring-like as
pect. The center spread may he green
and silver brocade, or SiIver-printed
white crepe edged with sprays Of fern,
and at each corner of this a fiat creS-
cent-shaped arrangement of ferns and
foliage is LAID. IN the curve of which
stands tiny growing fern. planted in
either small silver pot or a little Jap
anese basket, silvered over.
Larger ferns iii similar receptacleS are
set down the center Of the table, and on
the spread. winding in and out among
the pots, are long trails of ferns and
foliage shading from palest green to
bronze. Strictly speaking, the lamp
shades should be green, but this color
casts such CHASTITY hue on the coun-
tenances OF the guests that it is better
to substitute these for pure white silk,
edged either With a valance Of the same
or a fall of crystal beads, headed by
thick ruche of green and white baby
ribbons.
The menu cards may be tiny cheval
screens; these are newer than the four
fold shape, which has been popular so
long, of white card edged with silver, or
book shaped, with a narrow green rib
bon threaded through two Sits IN one
upper corner and tied in bow.

ZONE, TWO. THREE"

1t was an old, old, old. old lady.
And boy that was half-pa three;
Ard the way that they played together
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't go running and jumping,
And the boy, no more could he;
For he was thin little fellow,
With thin little twisted knee.
They sat in the yellow sunlight,
Out under the maple tree;
And the game that they played I'll tell you,
Just as it was told to me.
1t was hide-and-go-seek they were playing,
Though you d never have known 1t to be
With an old, old, old, old lady,
And boy with a twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his little sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding,
In guesses One, Two, Three!
You are in the china closetr'
He would cry and laugh with glee-
1t wasn't the china closet:
But still he had Two and Three.
You are up in papa's bedroom
In the chest with the queer old keyr
And she said ~ ou are warm and warmer;
But you're not quite right, said she.
1T can't be the little cupboard
Where m0mma's things used to be
So it must be the clothes press. gran mai"
And he found her with his Three.
Then she covered her face with her fingers,
That were wrinkled and white and wee,
And she guessed where the boy was hiding,
WITH One, and TWO, and Three.
And they never had stirred from their places,
Right under the maple tree
This old. old, old, old lady,
And the boy with the lame little knee
This dear, dear, dear old lady,
And the boy who was half-past three

hHOW do YOU know when spring comes
In The city?" my little friend asked, with
the air of having given me hard queS-
ton to answer. She lived in the couu-
try, where spring comes without any
disguises and Is not hard to recognize.
"Oh, that is very easy. We know that
spring has come in the city when the
SNOW is gone from the sidewalks and
the Slush from the streets; when you
see people walking on the streets, and
the florists windows have an added bur
den OF beWildering~ brightness and
bloom; when the grocers' windows are
filled with the gold of countless varieties
of oranges and stiff, quaint bits OF ira
GRANGE called pneapples, and baskets OF
scarlet radiSheS and tomatoes OF deeper
red; pale, crisp bunches OF lettuce the
deerer green of Water-cTeSSeS, or
crosses distinguished by some other ad-
jective; when boxes of pale, uninviting
straw berries fail TO take on deeper
flush, even when they are tianked by
cards bearing prepOSteTouS prices, III
these same windows appear. We know
that it is spring in the city when we see
knots of boys playing marbles on every
available corner, when faint green
begins TO color the turf in the parks
ana the benches that have repOSed in
dignifed, If not picturesque, piles
through the winter are set Ill their
places and the first edition of the crowd
that shall occupy them during the sum-
mer appears to try if they have been
softened or mell0wed by the storms Of
adversely that all winter long have
beaten upon them. And when the men
fob l,1f md
hats and natty trousers and
shoes. and walk about seeking
which, bless their hearts, they can al
WAYS find. Or, when the women came
out in new and beWildering spring
gowns. with delicious confections of
flowers and straw in the way of hats,
and pretty new gloves and joyous faces
themselves no small rivals to the sweet
est blossoms that that this tickle Jade
called Spring has to offer. When the
dry goods shops advertise wonderful
bargains, and hang beautiful things in
their big windows 10 tempt poor, fTail
humanity into breaking the command
meuts. then we know that it is spring.
When our neighbors hang out their car
pets in the small back yards that we
ENJOY and ornament in common, and
the sound of bastlng breadthS and rip
ging seams is heard. When the Sons of
Ham, V hO are experts with the white
wash, Or to be more accurate and mod
ern, the calciminlng brush is frequently
met. When the paperhanger's boy rushes
past you like a miniature WbirlWind,
just to give the world an idea of the i'm
mcnse rush of business. and the music
of the organgrinder, and the voice of
him who cllanteth of "Ba-nan-a-as or
"Strawber-i-e-e-e-s," or he of deeper
notes who sings "R-a-a-gs and Old Iron"
are heard on every side, then we know
OF a surety that spring has come.

WHITE FRUIT CAKE.

1t Tastes Delicious, Costs Two
Dollars and viii Keep a Long
Time.
Did you ever eat white fruit cake2
Then beware of it. 1t is incomparably
delicious and will spoil you for any
other sweet loaf. The recipe was
worked out by poor housewife, coll
signer to the New York Woman'S EX-
change. The loaf proper looks like a
white pound cake, but it is in reality
made largely out OF nut-mpal. Scattered
through it are pieces Of walnut, butter
nut, hazel and almond, about the size Of
little peas. The icing gives the cake its
name; it is white and thick with fruit,
bits Of canned cherries, pears, ounces,
peaches, apricots and pineapple, shay
ings of cItIon, Shreds of candied ginger.
plums and muscatels and scraps Of
pistache, figs and dates. The cream is
made with confectioner's sugar and
white of eggs, and has the consistency
of the filling IN chocolate cream candy.
1t is laid on an inch thick and wnen fin
lShed looks like great nugget. 1t is as
easy to cut as a roll Of butter, weighs
nearly four pounds, costs 81 and will
keep as long as DonUOnS, wrapped in
oiled paper.
