AFRw MATTERS Os INTEREST TO
THE FAIR SEX.

Notice.
There is not man with en- Office, says
Clara Belle in the Times Democrat, who
has not somewhere in his desk private
drawer that he keeps locked, and there is
not q woman who has not box tucked
away that she wouldn't open for any one in
the world. Ten to one, the man or woman
are not sure what is in the drawer or the
box. When young Jones' wife all of a sud
den insisted upon his opening that particu-
lar drawer he got rather white around the
mouth and said 30, pshawP She got such
an awful fit Of Mysteries, though that he
had to. Just as she thought, a lot of pink
notes! In spite of his frantic objections
she grabbed handful Of them, and, while
the cold perspirstion came out on his brow,
she began TO read. Such lot Of idiotic
Iove-letter stuff. She got Mysteries worse
and worse. Finally her quick eye caught a
signature.
MADAM" he said, with awful severity
continue! Do not stop-read on"
She did, and when she got to the very
end she began to hold her breath till she
got nearly black. Then she fell upon his
neck and sobbed, "darlingp
He forgave her, but he did say over her
shoulder while he clssped her to his breast:
THAT was jolly close call, old boy"
The letters were her own to him, before
they were married, you know.
You may think it is a frivolous occupa-
ton TO be a fashionable woman, says the
New York Sun, You may dream that it
means idleness and ease to have your name
on the list of the Patriarchs and to spend
your summers at Newport. Pleasure is the
fashionable woman's business and profess
sion, but she works harder at it than any
woman at her trade. Setting aside the
Rmusements, the engagements, the enter
tainments, the distractions of society, there
are now the charities, the mental fashions
that are enough to drive one mad. No
sooLer is one line interest mastered to the
point of conversation than another is taken
up by the leaders, and to confess yourself

recently, ito go to first-class places for
meals. Most such hotels and restaurants,
says the New York Times, are willing to
open their kitchen for inspection at any
time, and it is pleasure to see the shining
pots and saucepans, the long ranges show
ing clear fires and the neat looking chefs
and assistants.

day the care necessary to keep the kitchen
utensils safe and usable. They are all of
copper tin lined. Use wears away the tin
lining after while, and then the acid of
foods cooked in them acts upon the copper,
forming 3 dangerous compound, as is we'll
known. He told me his pots aud kettles
were all sent away twice year to be re-
lined with tin to the depth of a quarter of
al inch.
and in this connection he added a story
of an uptown hotelkeeper, who, few
years ago, conceived the idea Of Keeping
pigs out on his Long Island farm, fattenIng
them on the garbage from his hotel. SO he
bought the pigs and they thrived and grew
on sour ice cream, spoiled jellies, and stale
salads. But one day in the heart OF sum-
mer they were mysteriously attacked with
sO.called hog cholera, and every pig on the
farm squealed his last.
He probably would have looked upon
his loss as a visitation Of providence, for
which no one was responsible, but a num-
Der Of his guests became i'll, from no ap-
parent cause, at the same time, which set
him TO thinking. An investigation showed
many bare patches in his copper cooking
vessels, notably in his ice cream freezers.
So, since then he does not keep pigs, but he
does watch his coppers."
The dress, says the New York Sun, that
interests most women Just now is that
which will be worn at the exposition. It
should be OF material light in weight, smart
in style and severe in make, as demanded
by gentility. Fortunately fashion no longer
coun euances the train for outdoor wear,
and women will not need to have their at
tenblon distracted from the worlds wonders
by the care Of their petticoats. The skirts
to these gowns will not be up to the ex-
treine OF fullness, but rather cut with a

-four Yards. Beside the travelling gown the
woman who goes in for comfort as well as
Tor gentulty Will have an Eton suit of serge,
with the silk or chevio5 waists, that may be
worn on hot days without the jacket. A
China silk Of subdued color and simple
make will be almost q matter of necessity if
the pilgrimage is planned for the Summer
months, and the travelling cloak with de-
tRchabie cape must be included in the outfit.
Capes in this day Of their popularity will
outrank in preference the jacket, which is
less easily adjusted, and. indeed, many of
the travelling gowns will be made with
cape of the same material as the gown.
Like almost everything upon which So
ciety lays it's ephemersl and capricious
touch, flowers are subject to changing laws
OF fashion and supremacy" says the New
York Times.
Even Easter flowers are not set in a
permanent mold. Time was when the
Easter or Annunciation lily was the queen
OF Easter flowers. 1t is still a great favor
lite, but 1t is slowly losing ground in favor
OF brighter aud more varied blossoms.
The conception of Easter is, l think,
gradually widening. 1t is no longer confined
to strictly religious feeling, at least so far
as its use of flowers is cDuosrned, and this
fact naturally has it's influence to give
wider choice of blooms. As a matter of
fact. typical flowers representing certain
seasons or occasions are not much in evil
dence now purely as such. Any flower does
for all seasons, or all flowers for any season.
For example, short time ago funeral
flowers could be nothing but white; then
pale tints-heliotrope, pink and delicate
straw-colOred roses-were used in wreaths
and crosses. but now the most vivid and
gorgeous blooms are sent to houses OF
mourning. Orange blossoms used to be the
only available wedding flower. To-day
Orchids lilies of the valley sld a half dozen
others are quite as much in vogue.
1T has come to be so with the Easter lily.
most significant fact in this connection Is
that the growers are realizing the change,
and are paying less attention than hereto
fore to its cultivation. And it is the grow
ers who hold the balance OF power In such
matters. They can cultivate and make
beautiful species or let it degenerate at
their will. TO considerable extent they
