Adaptability of American Women,

Wherever we meet the American woman
and we meet her everywhere, in the ranks
of the English peefage and of the highest
European aristocracy as we'll as in more
modest conditions-we are struck with that
marvellous adaptability in which wise men
see the sign Of the superiority of a race or
of a species. 1t is revealed notably by that
good humor with which she accepts the nu-
merous petty a%nnoyances that every change
of medium implies and which put the best
characters on trial. She submits to them
without effort and criticises them without
bitterness-she is, further, prepared for
them by her education and does not expect
to find everything easy.
Then the necessity Of manual labor does
not seem to her like a degrading mission.
At most only one or Two generations sepa-
rate her from the time when her grand
mother kneaded the family bread in the
primitive settlements. These stories are
familiar to her, and the lessons deduced
from them are not discouraging or humili-
ating. She is the daughter of a race of
emigrants who have become a great people
through work, energy and determination.
She has in this at her command Il whole
of traditions from which she
not without pride.-C. de Varigny in
Popular Science Monthly.

INDICATION OF CHARACTER.
A Writer Finds II in tho Entrsnee to the
ft House.

The vestihulc aad doorway OF a house,
ewen tts porch-piazza, If it has one-are an
Indication Of the character of it's inmates.
havs not generally found that the word
Welcome" emblazoned in red on the mat
Or framed and hung in the vcstibule, with
ss00d Bless Our Home" over the parlor
door, betokcned any real welcome or was
proof positive that there was n home to
bless. But there is no disputing the air of
simple elegance and dignity that Is given
10 8 house by a spotless, clean exterior.
A spacious doormat lettered with the
name OF the place is most attractive, and
~ the name be we'll chosen gives n sense of
surety Of finding welcome and hospitality
within that the above legends fail to i'm
press us with.
A stately palm, a Towering daisy or n
handsome cape lily in n glazed jardiniere
may be very effectively placed on the steps
or piazza, but do not let the glazing of the
Jar form a hideous contrast to the painting
of the house and do not range %jardinieres
up either side Of each step in alternate
shades of yellow and red.
Small tubs or pals painted dark bronze
green or porcelain In the same shade har-
monte with almost any scheme of house
painting and do not detract from the plant
~ brighter colors do.
II there is ample piazza room, a swinging
hammock, chairs, large and small floor
cushions and an inexpensive rug, footstools,
. small table, pillows and a mating paper
holder hung against the side Of the house,
combine to form a retreat that 1t is hard to
surpass outside of a tropical climate.
Bright hinges, door bell or knocker are
always pleasant to look upon, and next TO
these ones eyes fall upon the curtained
window in the door. This, whether of
swiss or scrim. edged with lace or of silk
silkoline, must be fastened top and bot
tom by a slender brass rod. Tapes soon
give an air of untidiness. New York Re-
cor6er.

Must Surrender the Pass.

One of the New York theater managers
was down mt the scashore, and while wan
dering about the hotel piazza ran across Il
friend, who touched him up fora pass. The
manager searched in his inside pocket and
then shook his head. I'D give you one
willingly, but | didn't bring my cards. l
don't see how l can do it without Them"
The deadhead looked blank. Suddenly the
manager spoke: I'M tell you what l can
do. Instead of using a card I'll just write
Pass bearer on your shirt front, and that
will get you in all right. Win that do?"
The man assentcd, and the pass was writ
ten. That evening the deadhead showed
up at the theater, and the man at the gate
nodded when he looked at the shining
bosom. "All right. That's good" The
deadhead passed through the gate and
started into the theater. He had only taken
a few steps when the gatekeeper called him
back. The man looked surprised. Whats
the matter now? Isn't it all right?" The
gatekeeper nodded. Yes, but you must
surrender the pass. "-Boston Budget.

The Woman Traveller,

The lady traveller is an outcome of the
last so or 40 years, and the lady explorer OF
ever a shorter period. Men still hale can
recall the time when Mime. Pfeiffer's ex.
periences in lands no more remote than Ice
land were the amazement of stay at home
folks, and when Lady Franklin's ceaseless
journeys with her niece, Miss Cracroft,
were more talked about han nowadays,
when the female tourist is met with in ev-
cry land from Lapland to New Zealand.
Swift steamers and palace cars have robbed
any hardship, indeed-and the stories of
one home coming tourist send forth a dozen
more eager to initiate or surpass herachieve-
ments Wherever she goes the lady trav-
eler has a way of making herself amazingly
at home and obtaining courtesies which
are denied to the sterner sex.
In Tobolsk in Siberia we near of the Eng
lish governess. The Siamese princes were
brought up under one. Another has re-
Gently narrated her experiences in Egypt,
and more than one could tell tales which
the male infidel never heard of about life
in Fee and the city of Morocco. The ac-
tress or the opera singer, who is even more
adventurous, may perhaps take a more
practical view of the rounds she makes.
This city has n money" in it, that one is
remembered by the diamond bracelets in
the bouquets she received on the stage.

A most amusing Fourth of July incident
occurred on Long Island. A thoughtful papa
sent home carly on the morning of the
Fourth q box OF fireworks, which were to bt
discharged in the evening forthe pleasure OF
tho children. He then went to town, and
after arriving at the Office became troubled
lest the little folks should play with and
become injured by the rockets and crack
ers and firewheels.
Accordingly he sent n telegram to his
wife which was interpreted by the operator
in this way: Put the fireworks in the gar
den house and leave ut once"
The frightened mother saw visions of
headless trunks, single arms and legs fly
ing about, and concluding that her hus-
band had discovered that the fireworks
contained dynamite she heroically carried
them into the garden house, left her cake
in the oven and Historically dragging the
frightened children left sat once
She arrived at her husbands office in a
fearful state of excitement, which was aug
mented by her Observation-Disclosures Il
queries us to whether she had lost her rea-
son or what dreadful thing had happened.
She told him of the telegram, and he
acknowledgement long and loud. Then he,
the wretch, explained that he had wired
her to Put the fireworks in the garden
house and leave alone"
There are now things, as the song says, in
that family that it is better not to dwell on.
