If there is any one thing in the world
that may be said to denote the breeding
of a person it is in the taste displayed in
the use of note paper Fashions change
but slightly in that line, and artistic
simplicity is the form to be sought AFTER
There is nothing so offensive as eccen-
tricity in styles of paper, for 1t is ono OF
the little things that seem 80 trivial ana
count for so much in the eyes OF tho
world The height Of bad form is IN
the use Of anything startling or pro-
nounced Paper that rivals the sunset
in gorgeonsness Of hue, odd shaped
sheets and envelopes or gilt edged paper
stamp the user at once as one who Is mol
familiar with the precepts OF fashion
And not fashion alone, by any means;
II is refinement that Is shown in the
use Of proper stationery, and refinement
and fashion may not always mean the
same. Never use paper that is decorated
with flowers in one corner, the leaves OF
which wander all over the sheet. Avoid
ANYTHING in that way. A landscape re-
sembling Christmas card or fancy
figures for headings are not in their
proper places on note paper. There Is
nothing artistic in such forms, nothing
refined simply display OF bad taste
and i'll breeding that is shocking to the
person well Informed on such matters.
The etiquette of note paper is dictated
by taste. Ladies shonld use only the
smaller size of paper, requiring but one
fold. and the envelope should be square
The single correspondence cards have
gone out of style and are seldom seen
nowadays. The paper is generally linen
or cream laid. as best suits individual
taste and should be unruled. White or
cream paper is the best, although a gen.
tie shade of blue is permitted. Other
tints are not desirable, neither are they
proper. Do not use paper that is ragged
at the edges nor envelopes with curious
flaps. The best linen paper may be pur-
chased at the same price rs is paid for
the fancy varieties. and the best is the
cheapest: it is a guarantee OF refinement.
II a monogram is desired, have it en-
grayed-never printed. In this country
coats of arms and crests are out OF place,
but you may have neat monogram or
your initials for heading with perfect
only be sure that the work is
in keeping with taste and not too promi-
nent or glaring. The name Of your
country place is very good, the name of
the village in which you live. or the
street number if you chance to reside in
a city. In the latter case however,
omit the name of the town, and in Either
case the state should not be given.
This is but II glance at the etiquette of
note paper; it is very simple when you
think of it, but so many people seem to
be ignorant Of the rules The one great
thing i'll note paper is to avoid vulgarity
Or show in any way, and then you know
that you cannot be wrong. The SIM
plest is the best. Oddities Of tint or or
nament which are the caprice of a day
should be used with caution. -Harper's

Too Much Housekeeping.

Our housekeepers must have relief, but
that relief can only come when we adjust
ourselves and our style OF living to far sim
pier methods than those which now prevail
in our homes. Domestic expenses are tricky
things; they increase almost imperceptibly.
But therein lies their greatest danger. Ad
dition is easier than subtraction. A luxury
soon becomes necessity. Too many of Us
know where to begin, too few Of us where
to stop. But all this time our women are
wearing themselves out by the frightful
wear and tear of housekeeping on a scale
which compels all too many TO live in false
positions. No matter how much a man may
desire everything comfortable in home, ht
values the health and happiness of his wifi,
above all things. If he doesn't, he isn't 9
man.
concede that men are, in measure, t.
blame for this excessive housekeeping
Many man well intcntioned brings bur
dens upon his wife because he doesn't un
derstand what he is doing. But our women
are at fault here as well. A wife should
not silently assume burdens which in heI
heart she feels incapable of carrying out
No matter how much she may love her hus
band, that affection is i'll directed that al
lows woman to carry her beyond her
physical resources, even in the noblest re
solve or for the highest motive.-Ladies

Growth During the Night.

1t is a curious fact that night is the time
which nature utilizes for growth. Plant
grow much more in the night than in the
daytime, as can be proved any time by
measurement Measure a vine Mt night.
then measure it again in the morning and
the next night. and it will be found that
the night growth is two or three times that
accomplished during the day. During the
day the plant is very busy gathering nour-
ishment from various sources, and during
the night this raw material is assimilated
into the plant life.
The same fact is true of the animal crea-
tion. Children grow more rapidly during
the night. In the daytime, while the child
is awake and active, the system is kept
busy disposing of the wastes consequent
on this activity, but during sleep the sys-
TEN is free to extend its operations beyond
the mere replacing of wornout particles;
hence the rapid growth.
This is why so many invalids need sc
much rest and sleep. The system has been
taxed for years beyond its ability to repair
the tissues, and hence the organism has be
come worn and disabled from the accumu-
lation of waste products, and disease has
resulted.-Good Health.

The charm OF we'll dressed Frenchwom-
ans attire lies in three elements, the first
being perfect taste, the second due regard
to the charms of fashion and the third ap-
propriateness to the time and occasion for
which the whole getup Is arranged. You
will never find your genuine Parisienne go
ing to an evening entertainment in tailor
made cloth suit, or starting on journey
(as have seen a British matron in the act
of doing) in soiled ball dress of pale col
ored silk, worn under a jacket in rough,
dark cloth, or donning on similar occa-
sion a velvet costume and diamond ear
rings. And in no class In France is this fit
ness Of attire more manifest than among
the servants. Your cook and your cham
bermaid will think no more of copying
your best gowns, or Of surreptitiously tax
ing wear out of your last seasons cloaka
and dresses, than they would think of exc
cutting a fancy dance in your drawing room
They are very careful to get themselves
up neatly and trinity Of holiday. but the
great difference of their garb on such oc-
casions from their ordinary working day
attire lies principally in the assumption OF
bonnet. If you send your maid out on ar
errand, she disdains to cover her head ex
cept in very cold weather, when she will
probably wrap herself up TO protect her ears
and throat in black knitted scarf or shawl
Also she will put on clean white apron,
and so arrayed she feels herself altogether
respectfully gotten up. On Sundays and
fete days she may indulge, if she be very
dressy parsonage, in black net veil and a
pair of the discarded kid gloves Of her mis-
tress. Also she likes a neat umbrella or a
sun umbrella. Lucy Hooper in Home Jour

There are few things that women will not
do or endure to attain the beauty which is
at best only skin deep, except indeed the
one thing needful, and that is to live hygi.
enically. Nothing is SO truly beautiful as
the rounded contours and brilliant glow OF
health. 1t is only In novels that heroine
can be beautiful after sleepless nights and
days of suffering. The pensive languor, the
lily paleness and the violet circles under the
orbs of brown or blue, as the case may be,
become in reality listless inertia, "A sallow,
pasty complexion and dull, red lidded eyes,
to which are often added the utterly un.
beautiful red nose, for lack of exercise
and healthful appetite and sound, recreat-
ing sleep bring these things to pass with
terrible certainty.
The Lancet, realizing that no such insldi
Gus recommendation of deadly drug could

increase personal beauty, has recently raised
