DIXIE LAND.

And humbly begged permission that his

An, we'll, perhaps it was; but that old

Could you, my friend. stand by the grave

Don't Laugh at Blunders.
Exchanged

Instead of laughing at the mistakes
or blunders of others, we should do all
in our power to conceal any amuse
ment we may feel, for to the one
making the error it is deeply embar-
RAISING to find that those who wit
messed it are making merry at his ex-
pense, says the /enaess Miller Monthly.
Good manners and a good heart 60
hand in hand tact, after all, is but a
show of kindly feeling and under all
circumstances we should remember
that we are not infallible and quite as
liable to make mistakes as those whom
we are pleased to ridicule.
Can not every person, no matter
how worldly-wise they may be at the
present time, remember when they
have made some fane Pas which even
to think OF now causes them to break
out in a cold perspiration? 1t may
have been an error in table etiquette
or in pronunciation of word, it does
not matter how trivial the mistake, yet
after all the years since it occurred
the smile which went around the circle
stings even in memory.
No one is perfect, not even those
who set themselves up as oracles in all
matters pertaining to social life and
its exactions. The day will come when
flaws will be discovered even in the
leader, and then those who have been
laughed at will have chance to laugh
if that will be any satisfaction.
After all, the gracious manner and
the kindly spirit count for more than
form and empty show. OF course, the
amenities of life must not be regarded
as serions as lack of consideration.
Good form means essentially the be-
havior Of gentleman or lady, and
the highest type of it is found in the
kindly heart that seeks not to wound,
! the gracious, considerate manner, and
courtesy to old and young, rich and
poor, regardless Of their social status
or importance.

Some Don'ts for Women

Don't be sorry you are woman.
The feeling does you no good, and it's
not generous to us.
Don't hate other women so. Think
of the way you look at one another on
the street. Don't keep all your polite

Don't keep smoothing the wrinkles
out of your waist. A few wrinkles
will keep you from looking hideously
smooth, like a fashion plate.
Don't have your skirt badly fastened
at the back SO that your underskirt be-
comes visible. You can't see this and
no woman seems to tell you.
Don't get off a car with your back
to the horses. Men get great deal
of fun out of your persistency in doing
this. But you are not bound to amuse
them.
Don't stand at the door of street.

What Men Like In Women.

What men like best in the opposite sex is
that indefinable attraction called womanli-
ness which makes up for the lack of beauty
and other attractions. But it takes a great
many virtues to make up this womanliness.
Men like amiability in woman, they like a
pleasant, cheerful face, the courtesy Of the
ireside. They like motherliness large
enough to include the wants of the older as
well rs the younger boys.
They like sympathy, which means a will
ing ear to tale of sorrow or of gladness.
They like intelligence, but they prefer that
her heart should be stronger than her brain.
They like women whose minds and faces
are always full of the sunshine of con-
tented mind and a cheerful dispositions
They like woman to possess knowledge
Of how to dress well, which doesn't mean
conspicuously. They like a companion-a
woman who has sufficient knowledge of
the world and its ways to talk well with
them, who can become interested in their
plans and hopes and can give cheering
word or intelligent and sympathetic hear
ing.

The Use and Abuse of Powder.

Powder may be valuable or ludcrous
adjunct to the toilet. When it hides a
facial blemisb, tones down an apoplectc
color or dries an oily skin, 1t is valuable.
When it makes a woman look like a clown,
it is ridiculous and vulgar.
Powder should he put on before dressing
and applied evenly, not only TO the face,
but to the ears, throat and neck, the cut of
the bodice regulating the depth. An eye
brow brush, which may be had for 10 cents,
is about the best thing to remove the chall;
from the eyelashes and brows, but the lips
should be wiped. Although powder puffs
are bought and sold, women of the world
seldom use them. Chamois skin, old linen
and scraps of merino are thought to be
more serviceable for filling, instead of dust
ing the skin. 1t is all matter of fancy,
however.
For evening use powders are about the
same In effect, but daylight powders should
be selected with reference to the complex
ion and the toilet. Violet tints are not
generally becoming; blue-white is better
than pearl, and flesh pink than either The
best all round powder for complexion
with decided brunette tint is almond meal.
Powder keeps the face clean and IS
thought to cool the skin, but it should be
thoroughly washed out of the pores, not
with soap, but with good grade of cold
cream.-New York World.
