He . Woman.

Girls, all of you, everywhere, this is
word to you.
BE womanly.
BE true to yourselves and be guided
by the promptings of those who have
been through it all, and know by ex-
perience the best line of conduct to
pursue. You may lose the companion
ship of some whom you think very gay
and jolly, but their evanescent friend
ship will be replaced by sincere re-
spect and commendation.
1t is great fun, perhaps, to be bit
slangy in your talk, to take surrep-
titious puffs of cigarette, or to de-
ceive your chaperon as to your where
abouts.
Possibly for time such q line OF con-
duct will appear amusing and clever,
and you will undoubtedly think you are
pleasing Tom, Dick and Harry by being
hail fellow we'll met and willing to de-
ceive those who have your best inter-
ests at stake. But when your back is
turned no one will be SO quick to CEN
sure you as they.
Remember that, and don't yield To
the temptation to be nippant and un-
true.

Quality Not Quantity.

DR.. Bischotf, the celebrated professor
of the University of St. Petersburg, pub
lished pamphlet in 1882 against the
study and practice OF medicine by wom-
en-. In this pamphlet he declared that
women were physically unfit for heavy
studies. After careful investigation he
discovered that woman's brain was
inferior to that of a man, and that it
was incapable of any great develop
ment. He based this opinion upon the
average weight of the brain of a woni-
an, which was considerably less than
that of the ordinary man. In his will
he provided for the weighing Of his
own brain, and put its expected weight
at pretty high figure. He died re-
Gently, and it was found that his brain
weighed considerably less than that of
the ordinary intelligent woman. The
ladies are delighted, and the women
have fallen back upon the theory that
it is the quality of the brain that
counts, and that the weight does not
amount to much. Some of them go SO
far as to assert that If mans brain
were composed of as good material as
is put into a spiders brain it would
make him a mighty smart fellow.

Only VIII.
The girl was just twenty. She had
been at school for the last ten years,
had studied everything she wanted to,
and several things she did not care for,
had come with trunkful of pretty
gowns and half dozen dainty hats
and wells to spend the summer in a
suburban town far from her home,
which was in the south.
1t had always been enough for this
girl to be alive and to be happy Her
sweet Hooks and her sweet ways had
been SO pleasing to her father and
mother, her brothers and cousins, that
she had. never felt the need of trying
to do them any good. says Harper
Bazaar Whenat school the same sweet
ways and sweet looks had. made her
popular, and IL did not occur to her
that she was to exert an influence on
her companions, s-s
II probably never does occur to a
rose or pansy that it has any duty in

In the summer home, however, Grille
as her father liked to call her, found
that everybody was on the qui vive to
help everybody else. Her aunt and her
girl cousins all had their work among
the poor, or they read to sick people
or taught in Sunday-school Tive

THE PITT DIAMOND.
History Of Ono OF the Famous Brillianta
of Europe.

Thomas Pitt was born in 1858, and in
1898 we find him appointed to the post
of governor of Madras for the East
India Company, an imperious and ablc
man, hot tempered but kindly, bent on
amassing riches which he neither could
nor cared to enjoy, but which he OBJ
viously regarded as a fortune to be
left to his children, though he was
thoroughly determined that they should
not squander it in his lifetime. He is
interesting, not only for his own
marked individuality, and for being in
some senses q typical Anglo-Indian
ruler of the period, but as the grand
father of Lord Chatham, and the great
grandfather of William Pitt. The only
hiatus in this succession of able men
was in the case of Robert Pitt, Gov.
Pitts son. who appears to have wanted
the noticeable qualities of his father
and the great gifts of his son. The de-
tails In regard to the custody and sale
of diamond of extraordinary size and
beauty which was purchased by Gov.
Pitt in the east and sent home in
charge of his son are most interesting.
1t has been sometimes said that Gov.
Pitt obtained his fortune by means of
this stone, but it Is clear from many of
his letters, not only that he had ample
private means long before he sold this
| jewel, but also that he had numerous
other business transactions, the results
Of which were highly profitable. This
remarkable jewel was sold in 1717 to
the Regent Orleans for one hundred and
| twenty-five thousand pounds The
stone," writes the governor on June 20
of this year, was sold for two million
| livres, sixteen to one pound ster.
ling. received the third of the money,
and the remainder is in four payments

Crown jewels, four parcels, one to be
delivered with each payment. This
statement shows that the p ice, which
is usually stated to have bee., one hun.
dred and thirty-fve thousand pounds,
has not been hitherto correctly given.
The brilliant has been known in later
times as the Regent, sometimes as the
Pitt, diamond it Is now among the
national treasures in Paris, and has
been valued, it is said, at four hundred
and eighty thousand pounds. II is
clear, from the account which Gov.
Pitt gives OF tho purchase, that the
stone was fairly obtained, being bought
in 1902. after good hard bargaining
from one Ramchund, a diamond ii.er

subject, like most gossip, was not good

She went in her pretty white wool

SO becoming, that she was bewitching

They crowded around her, and begged
her to come and teach one Of their
classes on Sunday.
Grille was persuaded. She said she
knew SO little herself that she would
have to study very hard. When Sun

dainty tailor-made gown, her simple
sailor hat, her gray gloves. From head
to feet she was like an exquisite flower,

Striped Serge Suits.
Blue and tan-colored serges striped
with white in fine lines nearly two
inches apart are chosen for yachting
and country suits. These come ready
made, with the popular Eton jacket,
neatly lined. and given excellent finish
and style by revers and butterfly coll
lar Of black moire cut with curving
seams to flare outward over the top of
large gigot sleeves. What are called
Illuminated serges are rough wool di-
agonals of two colors shot together,
giving changeable effect. They are
sold fer sixty-fiye cents yard, in
widths that require but seven or eight
yards for a dress. Unlined suits Of
serge or of hop-sacking are liked for
midsummer wear on account of their
light weight. as they are literally with
out lining in jacket, sleeves or skirt. A
good quality of material is required
for such suits, and all the seams are
well bound to prevent fraying. The
blazer with fiaring collar and full
shirted back and the umbrella skirt
are popular in these suits. Made of
hop-sacking, and provided with arather
wide belt of black satin folds. the suit
costs twenty-eight dollars. -Harper's 8

CRIMES THAT BREED PANICS.

If the Volume of Money Increased as Fast

he No Panics.
Rev. Robert Collyer preached on
"Panics, Secular and Sacred" He said
that the whisper, 1--WE are on the edge
of panic" may rise into a shout of
dismay and cause wreck and ruin.
''The terror of the whispers we have
heard he said, ''lies in the hollowness
and worthlessness of what we agree
upon calling business, when there is no
more truth or reality in it's heart than
there would be in raising the apples of
Sodom. When the fever of what we
call speculation rises towards the panic
line from year to year, and the fatal
year of the whisper and the cry arrive,
then we know that there is something
wrong in the values that have been ex-
changed. Those caught in such bus
mess go down in the grip of panic,
unless they unload in time, while those
who only deal in values that are worth
their face escape with diminished for
tunes, if they are strong, while the
weak go to the wall"
