son that special parties have come
into fashion for social buds; they are
the sequence of the predominance
OF married flirts, with whom no
young girl can cope. Much of the
forwardness of the present young
girl is traceable to the necessity
forced upon her by the married
competitors.
The relegation of the married flirt
to her proper duties is within the
power OF society. Ifsociety frowned
on wives who arrogate to themselves
the privileges both of young girls
and wives, the custom would soon
become offensive.

FLIRTING WIVES.

Amelia E. Barr in North 4meyi
can ReuiczV says: If some good
and thoughtful woman who died
fifty years ago could return to this
world, what would most astonish
her? Doubtless it would be the
amazing development of her own
sex-the preaching, lecturing, pro.
fessional women, and especially the
women who make marriage the
cloak for much profitable post
nuptial filtration. A good woman
in the presence of frivolous flirting
wife feels as if law OF nature were
being broken before her eyes, since
behind the wife stands the possible
mother, and the claims OF family,
race and caste, as well as of conjugal
honor, all in her keeping.
Wife errantry IS now as common
as knight errantry once was. Young
men have discovered the personal
advantage and safety there is in the
society of another mans wife. They
practically say, fools marry and wise
men follow their wives. For, if the

neighbor's cosy living-room and let
into the secret of her new couch.
There it stood, in shape and size
quite similar to the old, faded red
covered one which l had seen there
only a day previous, and which she
had declared was too small and old
fashioned to merit new carpeting
cover.
l was ashamed of the old thing, said
she, SO yesterday afternoon l ripped up
the braid around the edges, and
covered it With this calico that | had
intended using on the big rocker.
Then l tackled the braid back again,
and I think it looks quite fine, don't

1t certainly did look fine. No one
would have suspected that it was only
calico. The main color was red, with
a large vine pattern in black.
The year previous, this same ingeni-
ons little woman had converted her
parlor couch which had done service
for years, into new styled one by
having the back piece taken eff and
covering the body part with hand
some Brussels carpeting. This carpet
ing was remnant. which she had
bought at bargain, not large enough
to cover the back piece, so 1t was very
convenient for her that backless couches
were IN style.
She is continually surprising one
with new chairs or other articles CT
furniture, and they always prove to be
o Id pieces rescued from the depths OF
the attic or other out OF the way places
which have, under her nlmble fingers,
turned into things OF beauty, to grace
the parlor.
When the cane in the seat of one of
her rockers commenced to break, do
you think it was thrown asidef Ah,
no! 1t was taken from the living
room and given a place of honor in the
parlor.
But first the cane was strengthened
by wire woven through it, piece of
sacking stretched over, a few bits OF
old comforters and lastly covered with
garnet plush, stretched tightly and
tackled with brass headed tacKs. An
oblong piece OF the plush was lined,
padded and tackled across the top OF
the cane back.
An old wooden kitchen chair was
given a coat of bronze paint, THAT which
comes in ten cent packages) the seat
cushioned with silk crazy work. A
crescent OF the crazy work was padded
lined and tied on the back of the char
with bright ribbons.
Another kitchen chair was painted a
wine color. The seat cushion and a
long strip covering the back was a
combination OF yellow brown and pea
cock blue plush, which had done
service as dress trimmings. Across the
bottom OF back piece were yellow brown
silk tassels and at the top were bows of
ribbon.
Seyen two quart tin cans, each one
covered with the leg of cotton sock,
will, in a few hours under her manage
ment, blossom out into foot stool.

and four large harness hooks, will
furnish her with the foundation for a
handsome foot rest.
With two squares of blue denim,

rope silk and small sack Of pine
needles, she will manufacture sofa
pillow, which is not only lovely, but
durable. And her rugs-but time and

TRIALS OF A BORROWER.
ImprOvidence Rebuked at a
Loan Office, Where Cash Is
Client the Same Day.

A gentleman suffering from financial
disability went to loan office to nego-
tiate borrow on his furniture. In the
advertisement Is stated that the money
would De lent the same day by Choc-
taw lady, without removal and upon the
note of hand by the borrower. All this
looked very fine in print

property, said the would be borrower,
and | have to meet wash bill of $3.50
coming due tomorrow noon. Can
get fitted out here so as to be IN
position to meet the collector without
blushP
The manager of the loan office was
strangely silent. The would be borrower
became nervous and thought he hadn't
said the speech right, and so he began
over again IN this style:
1 am person of poor but honest
parentage, temporarily embarrassed. l
need the sum of $3.50 to meet an un-
just liability.
Still there was 10 answer. Then the
borrower walked into the outside room
and said to the office boy:
What he,matter with the manager7
Can't he talk2
l guess it's because you haven't paid
the entrance fee. No person is men,
Der CT this loan society until ne has put
up one dollar.
The borrower apo!ogized and deposit
ed the money. Next he repaired to the
manager and repeated his original as
sertion.
We charge one dollar more for book
age, said the manager.
What's bookageP
That's none of your business. One
dollar, please.
He paid the money, and the
manager wrote down something IN
book.
Now give me two dollars to inspect
the furniture.
The borrower gave him the money.
Now call here next year at o'clock
IN the afternoon and get our answer.
But the money is due tomorrow.
Can't help it. Put 'em off.
But you can't put people like that
off. There are some fellows that won't
wait.
The manager smiled a superior
smile. Oh, no there aren't, he said.
You'll know a little more about wait
ing when you get through with US.
The borrower left the office reluctant

O'Clock. Then the manager told him
somewhat sternly that he couldn't lend
money on that furniture because it had
got too old. In vain the borrower rep
resented that it was new when his
claim was filed. The manager ended
the interview by charging him 81 IS

Or you may simply enclose your en-
grayed visiting card in your letter, this
being on the whole the most elegant
and also the most convenient method
OF showing ones relation to society.
The exception must be remarked here
that the visiting card is out of place in

which has not even remotely social
bearing.
To the careful observer nothing is
better worth doing thoughtfully, and
doing in the proper way, and at
