Giving Pleasure.

A little thought will show how vastly
your own happiness depends on the
way other people bear themselves to-
ward you. The looks and tones at your
breakfast table, the conduct of your
fellow-workers or employees, the faith
ful or unreliable men you deal with,
what people say to you on the street,
the way your cook and housemaid do
their work, the letters you get, the
friends or foes you meet--these things
make mp very much of the pleasure or
misery Of the day. Turn the idea
around. and remember that just so
much are you adding to the pleasure or
misery of other peoples days. And this
Is the half Of the matter you can con-
troll. Whether any particular day shall
bring TO You more of happiness or of
suffering is largely beyond yonr power
10 determine Whether each day Of
your life shall give happiness or suffer-

READERS AND NON-READERs.
bright People of tho World who Have
Very Little Book -Knowiedre

bF'sht feople OF tho World Who Have
Very Little Book knowledge.
Certainly there are plenty of people,
men and women, who are exceedingly
intelligent, and this not in any limited
direction, who never read, who know
nothing about books, and who could
not gain from them any appreciablc
hddltion to their brightness They
nave thought, and they can talk. They
observe, as rule, much more closely
than the readers who are apt either to
be preoccupied, or to be mentally "dis.
sipated'-there is no other word-and
think, when they think, in a more
original way, or rather. as that word
has now conventional meaning, in
way which is less obscured by the
influence OF "the common-sense OF
most"
Their thoughts, poor or perfect, are
ut least their own; and are strong
thoughts. They lack width usually.
though not always; for intercourse
with readers has much of the effect of
reading; but they have certain di-
rectness and tenacity MS to the point
at issue. They are apt, too, to have
humor, the incongruitics of things
striking them even more than they
strike readers--how much had Burns
read?-and humor of the peculiar kind
which we define rather indefinitely by
the word "raciness, that is, flavor, the
trace of the onion which animates the
salad. In talking, it is said, they are
deficient; but that is often only be-
cause they are in presence OF
persons whose knowledge of books
they dread. or because they be-
long to the classes or racen
for there are both-to whom the
privilege of talking easily has not been
given. There are women among us
who never read, and talk eXcellenkly
well-there were scores of them in
France just before the rcvolution-and
men who talk as only chiefs of profes.
sions can, but who have never seen a
book since they were at college. In
deed, we believe that II the literary
would inquire, they would be rather
startled at the number Of the latter.
There are not only the scores of able men
who have no time for reading, but other
scores in every profession TO whom
reading is very like an impossibility.
They can not do it any more than a
reading man can get through isis
mondf' or "The Wanderer.'
There is MISREPRESENTATION current,
now indeed crystalizing into an axiom,
that all able men with the time can
read books, and that If they do not, it
is the fault of the newspapers, or the
novels, or eongenital perversity; but
the assumption is totally unfounded.
Numbers of men of keen intelligence
simply can not read, and never open a
book, and neither suffer for the def.
cheney nor find it suspected by the
world. There was plenty of intclli
gence before printing and before man.

list of guests invited to the hops at the
neighboring hotels One morning at
, breakfast they discussed the last invi-
tation with their father, who was
rather opposed to what he called
linked gatherings" 80
IEeweyer, Mrs. Grant had provided
her daughters with evening dresses,
and remembered how she had loved
dancing in her youth. She would
chaperone them and be very cautious
about introductions. SO their father
reluctantly consented TO their going,
and their dresses next absorbed them.
The night was perfect, and the ball
room at the fremont presented a
Charming scene when they entered IL.
The girls soon discovered friends in
the many groups, and their cards rap
idly filed. Both became interested in
tall slight young man, who wore a
badge and seemed quite ubiquitous,
managing everything and every body.
"He dances beautifully" said Belle
Grant to her partner, who was de-
cidedly awkward
No wonder. He has lots of prac-
tice," said Mr.. Felter. .'He really
starts all these festivities for the sake
OF having dance Can't / present
him? He is really charming, talks as
weli as he dances, and sings exquis-
itely."
Lillian Grant laughed at her own
partners seriousness, but just then the
good dancer approached them. Felter
presented him, and he chatted easily
about the success of the evening. He
was on the floor committee, and was
apparently overwhelmed with affairs;
out le managed to put his name on
each sisters card, and they agreed
aiterward that his was the best dance
oi the night. They described him to
s,heir mother, wondered II they would
meet him soon again, and really spent
agreat deal of time thinking and talk
ing OF his many attractions.
Several days afterward the coal sup
ply gave out and Mr.. Grant wrote on a
postal card an order for several tons

simplicity Prevails.
Fashions for larger children follow
the wake of their elders, and there IL
noticeable the same dearth of origin
atty at the present time, both in ward
robes large and wardrobes small.
Among the prettiest things is a revival
of the English fashion of low-cut neclss
and short sleeves. II is said to be more
heathful and is certainly very sweet to
look upon. Besides, so little variation
is required, as a short waist and full
skirt comprise the entire frock The
little English dress in the illustra tions
of to-day has n draped effect in front
and bertha of lace drawn in with
baby ribbon at the neck. The. empire
dress, which is going ont OF style just
as everybody knows how to make it, is
certainly very pretty for little girls
from three 10 six years of age. Cres
ponette is nice material to use, with a
bow of wide ribbon at the back of the
yoke and ends falling to the hem.
More becoming yet are the round
wasted frocks trimmed with bertha
or drapcd rcyers and a long sash. A
pretty dress for girl of twelve or
thereabouts is of mauve spotted cam
brio trimmed with narrow white braid
and "a full vest of white nainsook
tucked very finely at the neck and fin
ished with straps and bows of ribbon.
