WOMAN and HOME.

Among the many interesting eollec-
lions made by royal and famous women.
a fancy Of the princess of Wales has
hitherto escaped the general notice. Her
royal highness never suffers a hat or
bonnet she has worn to be thrown or
given away. AS it is discarded each is
put carefully away with large collec-
ton Of fellow sufferers. labeled with the
season of the year in which it was worn.
This custom the princess has vigorously
adhered TO ever since she first came to
England thirty years ago, so that the
array Of various forms Of headgear has
now assumed formidable proportions.
If the princess could be induced TO ex-
hibit her collection it would be extreme
ly interesting to all who follow the
vagaries of fashion, for as a rule the
whims OF the tickle goddess are more
pronounced in our headgear than in any
other part Of our attire. or an article
might be written by one Of her literary
sisters-in-law on the subject which would
be quite absorbing to lovers of dress and
which might give fashiOn-makers, who
seem just now at their wits end for
something TO invent or revive. many a
hint for future guidance. The only
drawback TO the collection from the
point of view of a history of hats in
the last thirty years Of the nineteenth
century lies in the fact that the prin-
cess Of Wales has always shown ten
dency to be uninfluenced by fashion, es-
pecially when it was at all outre though
doubtless this tendency has largely in
creased Of late years, for early photo
graphs show US that she succumbed to
the crinOline and fell a victim to the
pork pie hat, than which it would be
difficult to find anything more hideous.
For several years past the princess has
discarded any suggestions Of hat. L
suppose she thinks it would be out of
place on the head of a grandmother.

a royalty, for many a princess who pays
homage at the shrine Of fashion seems
TO lose all the advantages she should

plan of conducting her children's read

and romp and play to their hearts con-

table is set out In the big nursery, bOun-
tifully loaded with lots and lots of the
very thinnest slices of hot buttered
toast, some dainty little dishes and pre-
serves, and unlimited cups Of hot cocoa,
milk and hot water; then the children
and mamma Danish the nurse to the
kitchen and hold the fort in high glee
until 8 O'clOCk-the children eating, and
the mother reading aloud some delight

The children, as a result, have beau

me a list of the books she read thus to
the children, and for the benefit Of other

Netting.

Netting has again come into use. or
rather is used in making very pretty
articles in fancy work, doilies OF all
kinds being trimmed with it. Toilet
sets, too, are beautiful when the work is
done in silk. The articles required are
a steel netting needle and a fiat mesh
stick. To try to teach the actual stitch
by illustrations or explanations would be
very unsatisfactory as the peculiar twist
in getting the knot must be seen in &C
tual working, but in the most remote vii
lage an old lady can be easily found who
in her time made hair nets, and that is
the stitch pure and simple.

Sandwiches.

Chestnut sandwiches are not at all
common and can be excellently made.
Boil the chestnuts soft, then peel and
pass through a wire sieve, spreading the
paste thus obtained between small OBJ
longs or triangles of bread. Ginger
sandwiches call for bits of dry candied
ginger as filling, and chocolate sand
witches require an abundance Of grated
sweet chocolate. These are few sorts
not often seen, and a little ingenuity will
suggest more combinations. Almost any
thing edible, from roast beef to candied
violets, may serve between sandwich

Keep Wen. BE Clean.

Women everywhere pay less attention
to the laws of health than men. They
have less exercise, less fresh air, less
sunshine and less variety in their lives
than men. Hence. although the most
beautiful women are more beautiful than
the handsomest men, yet in all civilized
communities the average man Is a finer
specimen OF creation than the average
woman. First health, then beauty, and
with the facilities for living a clean
life and the privileges Of being gay and

Are American Children spoiIeds

A Boston paper has been getting to-
gether several opinions for persons sup
posedly informed in the matter upon
the question: rs the American child
spoiled?" They are specially interesting
because every contributor to the SYM
postum, in one way or another, attests
his idea that the children of today are
having toe much done for them.
Very many persons share and often
express similar opinion. Said an old
man, speaking on this matter very late
ly: Children are taking the journey
of life these days Just as they are TAX
ing their railway journeys-in Pullman
cars. Every luxury of education is pro-
vided for them, every pill of knowledge
is sugar coated, every dose of learning
has the bad taste taken out or is com
pressed into tablets that can be swaI-
lowed at gulp. And the process isn't
going to make the sturdiest kind of men
and women, in my opinion"

The Sandbnr.

A sandbag is a useful household
article. It's virtues are equal, if not
superior, to the hot water bag, ana the
cost is considerably less. The sand
should be fine and clean and should be
thoroughly cleaned out before being
bagged. 1t is better to cover the flannel
bag which holds the sand with a cotton
one, as it prevents the sand from sift-
ing out.

French Girls Dress Well.

1t does not seem to me that French
girls think any more about dress than
other girls, but they go to work on the
problem more scientifically. They know
how to make the most of themselves, and

care for their appearance as it is for
them to brush their hair. The little shop

The Listener.

Persons who have regard for the
usages of polite society should remem-

of good manners. Absentmindedness is
impolite. Everyone is entitled to a fair
share of attention paid him when con-

mands that he should still listen and APP

The crime was committed on 1,e even

Povaro lived on the top floor of the
house with his wife, mother and Mrs

Pavoro went to pawn shco and

her instantly. The ball entered her left

her body. Old Mrs. Povaro recovered.
