AlWaYa Dress For Dinner.

Take a bath before dinner; it will be ap-
petizing, refreshing and refining. Dress
for dinner; it is a good example for the lit
tie folks and a compliment that is due the
hostess. These are among the amenities
that distinguish dining from feeding. Some
husbands and brothers will not dress for
dinner, and it is dangerous to try to coerce
them.
Women make the rules and regulations
of social life, and while it is not advisable
to make the lords do what they don't wish
to do it is very easy to make them uncom-
Portable. Reform will come of itself. Teach
the children to dress for dinner. Watch
the special sales and buy Charles a pair of
50 cent patent feathers and a SET Elton
suit, with an extra pair of trousers. Sacri-
fee the train of a pompadour silk and make
Catharine II Josephine slip without sleeves.
For a dime q week those blessed children
will tub and make a dinner toilet with
speed and grace. Some evening daughter
will startle her unconventional sire by ex-
claiming, "Oh, papa, you don't look nice!"
That will be the wife's hour of triumph,
and the next night papa will put on a fresh
collar and another coat. In a week Or SO he
will be tamer.-New York World.

Seusifixeness OF Children.

In our visits in many places and in many
families we have perhaps observed nothing
more often and with more regret than the
want of appreciation which prevails to-
ward the sensitivenesS of little children.
As a rule we find them, even in what would
be termed well regulated homes, treated us
though they had 10 feelings whatever, ne
tender little hearts Il no trials and disap-
pointments worth considering. Nor do
many of the kindest Of parents consider
how surely they are leaving happy or I'M
happy impressions, by their conduct on the
minds of the little ones, which will be in
delible.
Few parents treat their children with the
courtesy they deserve and would like. Chill
dren are ordered instead Of asked to do all
sorts of things for their parents and are
seldom thanked for their errands or re-
warded by q kindly smile of appreciation.
They are spoken to in harsh tones, and
when they retort in the same way they are
reprovcd for impoliteness.
There is nothing truer than this-that
like begets like; that a pleasant smile and
a kindly tone will develop a pleasant smile
and kindly tone; that courteous. polite
words and manner from mother and father
will engender courteous, polite words and
manners in the children: that kindly con-
sideration in the trials and disappoint-
ments of children. which to them are as
great as those which their elders are bear
ing, is far better than Il rude disregard Of
them and making light of them, as though
they were of no account.
This Objectionable manner toward chill
dren, which is SO common, is oftentimcs
remembered by them through long lives
and prejudices them toward many persons,
no matter how eminent they may be or
how highly thought of in society.-Chicago
Standard.

When You Sign Your Name.

When a woman signs her name, she gives
the reader more or less ancient history. A
gentlewoinan, who is married. who is mod
est, who is happy and who loves her hus-
band, signs herself Mary A. Brown. IT she
doesn't love her husband, if she is not mod
est, sho signs herself Mary Aggressive
Brown. A woman who has missed the OPP
portunitics of education signs herself Mrs.
Brown. Ignorant girls use miss" in sign
ing their letters. Mannish girls, who like
to be considered good fellows, use initials,
as M. A. Brown, with or without the title.
Childish women take the whole world into
their confidence and use their pet nalnc as
Mamie Brown.-Boston Herald.

The Modern Girl.

It is tolerably certain that whatever may
be the character of the young woman of the
future, whether she devote herself to poll
tics or cooking, spend her surplus energies
upon baseball or embroidery, n quality
she will not possess-she is not likely to be
helpless. Perhaps it is a charm that she
already lacks. for certainly in the days
when the gentle Sophia compelled poor,
broken armed Tom Jones to support her
sinking but uninjured form II wait until
her feminine emotions were calmed before
the bone could be set women were not as
they are now. The modern girl prides her
self upon being equal to All emergency,
upon her sense and strength; she can pull
a BOAT and walk her 10 or Is miles; she
finds her own sex entertaining, and she can
bear discomforts equally; accordingly in
her summer vacation it is not surprising
that she should camp Quit is a sign Of
the times.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Paris ShOpeirIs,

A Paris shopgirl ordinarily begins at a
salary of from S. to S. per month. Besides
she invariably has q commission IN her
sales varying from -one-half to l per cent,
according to her success. Many receive as
high as s3oa month in salstry and make
much more in commissions. Retail selling

GRAY Hairs.

How often q handsome woman of 81 or4o
will watch some young bud of Is with
envy and SILVER when the little p%eachblow
beauty says to n companion; "Oh, Pm sure
I don't act like a child. Why, l feel like
an old lady Of 3d." Then the foolish matron
will retire into the dressing room perhaps,
take a jaundiced look at a few gray hairs
that adorn her royal head and possibly
shed a tear or two. Foolish woman! If
the writer were a man and you were single.
I'd choose you at any time in preference to
the Eighty, bread and butter beauty whom
you so envy. Gray hairs are never unbe-
coming.-New York Times.

A Rule of Domestic Economy.

The first point of all to be decided def
pitely is how much of the family income
should be spent for shelter. 1t is not IN
usual to leave the settling of this important
point to chance, to u pretty house suddenly
found or to the location of friends. No one
wants the remembrance Of his and her first
home to be clouded with bitter or sad
memories of financial disaster. and the first
step to prevent this is carefully to gauge
one's needs by ones income. 1t would not
be possible to say definitely how many dol
lars ought to be spent, but n rule that is
safe is not to use more than one-fourth Of
the family incomn for a house. 1t is better
to spend even n Lesser amount if possible.
Having settled the amount to DO used for
rent or interest, the real cornerstone of a
home has been laid.--Ladies' Home Jour

An Athletic Empress.

The empress Of Austria, when she was
enjoying life incognito as Mrs. Nichol-
son" at Cromer, used to put the athletic
girl to the blush. She had an energetic
habit of rising at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Then she was rowed out to sea, where she
would plunge from the boat and swim
awhile. Returning to shore. she would
mount her horse. and about II o'clock
would return home for luncheon and a rest.
About 5 O'Clock in the afternoon she would
either ride again or indulge in a long walk.

There are theories and theories about
house furnishing. One that its ~evolvcr
calls IA sort Of impressionist theory is
that the value OF your materials Is really
of no nsequen as the satisfactory re-
suit comes from "the decorative effects Of
color, contrast, general mass and form"
To the person much given, to changing his
fireside, whether at home or abroad, this
is a convenient theory, as rugs, hangings
and good photographs arc easily rolled up
and taken from place to place. and the
number of breakable objects is somewhat
reduced. In the right place a beautiful rug

An important contract has lust been
made by Charles 0. Wentworth, vice.
president and treasurer OF the Ameri-
can Bridge and Iron Company, of this
city. Mr.. Wentworth left Roanoke on
January 30 andduring his absence, which
terminated yesterday morning, received
an order for 1,50o tons of iron work and
castings from the Mathieson Alkali
Works OF Saltville, Virginia. This order
is to be used in the manufacture OF soda
ash and salt, and for making the posts,
columns, ETC., for tho alkali works. In
fact the plant will be virtually new, as
it is to be torn down and re-erected
from the ground up. This will not only
double its size and number OF enploves.
but will require an entire revolution in
the force required.
-Four months is the time allowed to
tho American Bridge and Iron Company
for the fulfllment of the contract. at
its completion this order will leave the
Mathieson Alkali Works the largest in
Its line OF business in the United States.
Mr.. Wentworth stated that the work
would be entirely OF cast iron and would
double the force of men now EMPLOYED
by the American Bridge and Iron Com
pany. Some of the pieces Of iron for
the new structure, he said, will weigh
in the neighborhocd Of eighteen thous-
and pounds; also, that it had been ar
ranged for more work to follow the orig
inal order.

Der OF contralto singers in the society is

for selling tickets. They have divided
them into combinations as follows, each
combination costing S.: They will sell
eight reserved seats. four to be used at

sion tickets, six TO be used for each con-
cert; or sixteen tickets for non residents,
