good dinner than could by all the knowl-

bit gross. But that isn't the
way 1 mean it. 81 What / mean is that a
woman who is wise enough 20 realize her
power as the mistress Of the house has "a
power, an absolute power that all the
knowledge Of diplomacy can never give.
And the power OF the dinner table in its
best sense, is the greatest The dinner, no
matter how simple 1t Is, can be we'll served,
and the finest dish at the table can be the
woman who, understanding herself, realizes
the value Of each dish, not only from
material, but from an aesthetic stan dpolnt.

THE PECULIARITIEs OF MEN.
There are women, regret TO say, who
find the gentle service of dinner trouble
some; and who believe il just as well TO put
everything on at once, and let a man eat as
he pleases. Now, just as certainly as you
train man to live like a pig, just so GER
tainly will he behave like one. From pig
you expect nothing but satisfied grunt
From civilized creature you expect, aud
you will get. gentle courtesy, compliments
and kindly consideration. There IS no ami
NAL so easy to civilize as man; and no ami
NAL who is 30 appreciative of civilization,
The man, accustomed to look on woman as
the luxury Of life, to see her dainty, TO see
her oonsiderate, TO find her aiTectonate,
gives to her the treatment that she demands
and when she is unCidy, inconsiderate, and
without affection, she will only get back
what she gives. Man is the only absolutely
truthful looking glass. You find in him
what you are yourself, and you are so much
his superior in many Of the pretty little
ways of life, that he enjoys In knowing that
you train himup. He didn't know the diff
ference between q dainty and a dowdy
frock until yon showed him; but now be
has learned, you can't take him back to his
old style of ignorance; you have got TO live
up to his knowledge.
IL pleases me greatly to think of woman
as the civilizing influence In a mans life A
man will be clean, Immediately clean, be-
cause he prefers to; he is only dainty when
be thinks of a woman. A man will eat
what is good for him. what makes Drawn,
when be is alone; IL is only when he is with
a woman that he makes Drawn and bone
subseI Went TO delicacy of taste and appear
ance. He lie a good bit like q dog, is a man.
Once you teach him trick, and ne learns it
well, he can't go back TO his original state
Of ignorance.
MAN AS AN AFFECTIoNATE BEING.
You know it is perfectly beautiful to cit
up and feel that without women men
wouldn't amount to much. That's when
you are woman. You can see they

women. They would have died out long

the closest thing to the mother, and from

No man ever loved a woman who admit
