Hospitality.

hospitality, the real hospitality of the
heart, too often appears not among the
lost, but the neglected graces of woman.
Thousands of dollars are spent in large
cities every week by wealthy hostesses on
decorations, favors, souvenirs and music
for lunches and dinners. This is carried to
so great an access that, both by the wealthy
and those of moderate means, the enter
tanning of guests is often looked on with
dread rather than with delight.
However, there are 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 wei
come and the best of their heart and mind,
although they must place simple fare be-
fore them, minus costly flowers, yards of
silk and ribbon or golden souvenirs.

When Women Are Most Beautiful.

The physical beauty of women should
last until they are past 80. Nor does ieau-
ty reach its zenith under the age Of "a or
40 Helen Of Troy comes upon the staec at
the age of 40. Aspasia was 36 when mar
red to Perces, and she was brilliant
figure 30 years thereafter. Cleopatra was
past 80 when she met Antony. Dialt de
Poicters was 80 when she won the heart CT
Henry ii. The king was half her aye, but
his devotion never changed. Anne of Aus
tria was IS when described as the most
beautiful woman in Europe. Nine. de
Maintenon was 43 when united to Louis,
and Catherine Of Russia 80 when She seized
the throne she occupied for o. years. Nile.
Mar was most beautiful at 45, and Mime.
Recamer between the ages of 35 and 90.
TIE most lasting and intense passion is
not inspired by two decade beauties. The
old saw about sweet IL is exploded by the
truer knowledge that the highest beauty
does not mean alone the fashion Of form
and coloring as found in the waXon doll.
The dew of youth and a complexion ofrOses
sometimes combine in face that is Unmov-
ing and unrespousive, us though lacking
utterly the life spark. n womau's best
and richest years are from 26 to 40 1t is
arrant error for any woman to regard her-
self as passee at an earlier day.
In the course of years. however, time
arrives when the coming of age must be
recognized, when the muscles begin TO re-
lax, the skin to lose its polish and round
ness and softness gives place to angles.
Contentment and good humor will still
outrival all medical inventions as a pre-
sentative of youth. a woman, beautiful
in all else, but wanting mirth, will grow
old, sour, thin and sallow, while the merry,
fun loving woman will be fresh and sweet
despite life's happenings and sorrows.

MISCELLANY.


WV y ttNhhNNs
sat in the gathering shadows
And gazed to the west away,
Where the hand of an unseen artist
Was painting at close of day,
A strange and wonderful picture
That filled my soul with awe,
And made me dream OF the city
No mortal ever saw.
"Paint me, o, wonderful artist"
cried. as the shadows came,
And with marvellous glory
The western hills aname;
"Paint me the face Of an angel"
And, 10, before my eyes
Was the face of my sainted mother,
Who dwells in Paradise.
"Paint me the face of a sinner"
A darker shadow crept
Down the hill, and thought in the twilight
The unseen artist wept;
when, 10, from the magical pencil
A face In moment had grown
The sad, white face of a sinner,
And knew it for my own.
And then the face of my mother
Looked sad as saw 1t OF ce more,
And wondered If she had been looking
Right down through the open door
OF my heart, to the darkness that sin
And its follies had cast
Der heart that was guiltless in childhood,
But polluted and dark toward the last.
But smile on the face OF my mother
Cast all those sad fancies away,
And voice had heard in my childhood
Came back at the clote of that day,
And it said, If you dream OF atonement
BY doing some grand mighty deed,
just take a sinner to cherish.
To cleanse and to purify too;
Think not Of the sins of your neighbor,
But remember that sinner Is you."

Women "Cold Shouldered."

Over and over again, writes Miss Ada
Sweet of Chicago, have seen a party of
women formed into a committee and start
ing out with great enthusiasm to accom-
plsh some work. In two or three days,
when they came together again, have no.
tced marked falling off in their enthu-
siasm and confidence. This | always found
to be due to the fact that they had talked
it over with their husbands or friends and
had been discouraged, ridiculed and cold
shoudered" out of all hope for the accom-
plishment of anything

Hints for the H0usekeeper.
A Sickroom Boon.

Lavender stalks. when properly dried,
are most agreeable. | always keep mine
to burn to scent the rooms in winter time,
when there are no flowers. They burn
slowly, and if laid upon a metal tray, will
smolder on for long time. A few stalks
make quite sufficient scent for an ordi-
nary room. In sickrooms they are a boon,
for the smell is much cleaner and more
natural than the pastiles and other things
which offend the patients nose and only
clear the atmosphere for IA comparatively
short time.

Send Them TO Bed with a Kiss.

o mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain OF the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexatons,
So many things going amiss;
But mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with n kissl
The dear little feet wander often
Perhaps from the pathway of right,
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night.
But think of the desolate mothers
who'd give all the world for your bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings,
Send the children to bed with a kiss;
For some day their noise will not vex you,
The silence win hurt you far more.
You will long for the sweet children voices,
For sweet childish face at the door.
And to press a child's face to your bosom
You'd give all the world just for thisi
For the comfort it will bring in your sorrow,
Send the children to bed with Il kiss

Grease Spots on Mating.

If you have dropped grease upon the mat
ting, do not try ammonia or benzine or
grease eXtractors; you will only make the
spot worse, says Jenness-Mller. Some
times brown paper and hot iron will be
effective, but the best eradicator is French
chalk and benzine. Cover the spot thick
with the chalk and moisten by sprinkling
not pouring, the benzine upon it. When
the benzine has evaporated, brush off the
chalk, and the spot will have vanished

SILK Underwear.

Silk stockings and silk underwear gener.
ally should not be worn two days in sue
cession. When taken off, they should be
shaken free of dust, turned inside out and
hung in current of air. This will reduce
the number of washings necessary to them.
They should be washed in warm, not hot,

rinsed in warm water They should be

Consult on What Shall Be Done
Resolutions of Sympathy.
The Bethel board met at the resi-
dence of Mrs. r. NJ. Newport, on Sum
NIT avenue, yesterday at 10 o'clock.
Rev. II. Franklin, of Chicago, superin-
tendent of Bethel work, was present,
and opened with prayer. Mr.. R., A.
Kirk presided over the meeting. Moth
ing definite could be done, except to de-
termne to secure as soon as possible a
room in which to continue the lunch
counter, and to hold the Sunday school
services. On account Of the death of
his daughter Lulu, Rev. David Morgan
could not be present, and as his aid was
desired, it was decided to postpone any
further action for the time.
On motion it was decided to hold
service on Sunday afternoon at the
Auditorium instead of the usual Sunday
school that had been held at the Bethel
boat. This service will be in the form
of memorial. and whatever collections
may be given VIII be for the
benefit of those injured by
the fire. Mr.. Kirk was named
as a committee of one to secure
the Auditorium. A committee on ar
Engagements was appointed, consisting
of Mesdames Newport, Nichols and
Willis and Messrs. Morse and Clark.
Interesting speakers will be provided,
and it is hoped that all who are in SYM
pathy with the Bethel work will be on
hand to aid by their presence those who
are employed in it, as well as to testify
to their respect for those who died in
the fire at the boat.
Mrs. Higbee, who has had charge of
the mothers meeting for the last year,
spoke in commentator OF Mrs. Jennie
Peak, the late matron of the Bethel
boat. Her place will be hard to fill, as
she seemed peculiarly fitted for the
work. Mesdames Stone, Gilbert and
Nichols were appointed committee to
procure flowers to be placed on Mrs.
Peaks coffin as token of the love and
regret OF these, her fellow workers.
The board has taken part in her burial,
the large majority attending the funeral
in person.
Sympathy for Rev. and Mrs. David
Morgan in the sad loss of their daughter
Lulu were expressed. The hour of her
burial was announced as 10 o'clock this
morning from the home at Hamline to
lakewood cemetery.
An appeal was also made for clothes
for the family of Rev. William A. Al
leyn. The little girl is six years old,
