Hospitality.

Hospitality, the real hospitality Of the

for lunches and dinners. This Is carried to

and those OF moderate means, the enter
tanning Of guests Is often looked on with
dread rather than with delight.
However, there aro many women who
keep the grace of true hospitality alive by
inviting their friends BECAUSE they want to
see them, and by giving them a true well
come and the best Of their heart and mind,
although they must place simple fare be-
fore them, minus costly flowers, yards Of

Sunshine Hygiene.

+ The broad sunshine which will purify a
poisonous atmosphere better than all the
deodorizers and disinfectants known to the
chemist will also do more toward restoring
health to human frame whose machinery
is out of gear than all the medicines known
to the drugshop. 1t seems strange that
dogs and cats should understand the value
of basking in the rays of the sun so much
better than their human friends. The blue
glass craze of few years ago had a great
underlying principle Of truth, in that it
was the medium for floods Of sunshine,
which would otherwise have been shut out
or ignored.
The shining or clouding of the sun has
an immeasurable effect upon many sensi-
tive temperaments, and IL delicate women
especially would initiate the old sun wor-
shippers to the extent of letting limitless
sunshine into their houses, regardless OF
carpets and furniture, but regardful Of
their own vitality, and would make it a
point to follow the great glowing source OF
all life and health in its westward course,
going from room to room to keep him COM
pany, and would on no account sleep in a
room .unpenetrated by his magnetic rays,
they would live happier, healthier, longer

The American Woman.

II the American Union is today one of the
first countries in the world. 1t owes the fact
to large extent TO the American woman,
who was and still is an important factor in
its astonishing prosperity. The United
States owes 1t TO her that 1t has preserved
the religious faith, the principle of vitality,
imported by the pilgrim fathers to the
American shores.
She has been the efiicacious artisan OF
the work. She has maintained 1t, extend
ed and enlarged it in the church and the
school. In the hours OF difficulty, as dur
ing the war Of independence and the war
of secession, the patriotism OF the woman
sustained the courage of the man. Under
all circumstances she was his companion
and his equal. AS such he respected her,
and that respect which she inspired in him
by her self denial and her courage in the
beginning, by her intelligence and good
breeding afterward, by her charms and
her confidence in his protection, has fash
ioned American manners and has strongly
impregnated them with the idea that re-
spect for his companion was for the man
one of the prime conditions of moral life.
This moral life is her own work. She
created and she maintains 1t. In the cult
of which she is the object, In the homage
which man renders to her, there is more
than the mysterious attraction which sex
inspires; there is the instructive recogni-
tion of great and salutary influence nobly
exercised.--M. c. de Varigny in the Revue
des Deux Mondes
