Tho Vanishing Couple.

A fashion safe to stamp young girl
in general society as but i'll equipped
with knowledge Of good form is that Of
vanishing" in company with her at
tendant after dance and remaining in
nnfrequented corners until remark is
thereby created. Such is the young wo-
man whose chaperon is in continual spec
ulation as to her whereabouts or else in
active exercise to find her. She is no
doubt often innocent of intention to Of
fend, but at large and mixed entertain
ments the better part of wisdom in wo-
man is TO keep in view of her fellows.
A witty Frenehwoman, Nine. de Gira.
din, once wrote: "Amuse yourselves, o
young beauties, but futter your wings
In the broad light Of day. Avoid shad-
ows in which suspicion hides" The
vanishing woman act should be lin
tied in performance to platform in full
view of the audience. The prompt re-
turn of young woman to the side or
vicinity of her chaperon after dancing is
not only a graceful and well bred action,
but affords an opportunity to the man,
who too often is embarrassed in this re-.
spect, to withdraw and fulfill some othe,

why MIX Differs in Quality.

Milk Is more susceptible to changes
from the normal condition than any
other food product. The first class Of
changes has been brought about by the
action Of breeders. BY many years Of
attention to breeding for fat production,
it is now possible to set milk which may
be twice as rich as the normal. On the
other hand, other breeders have paid
especial attention to production of large
quantity, even at the expense of quality,
until pure milk is sometimes produced
having as low as 10 per cent. of solids,
when the normal is 10 per cent.
A second set of causes which influence
the quality of milk grows out Of the ig-
noranco or carelessness Of the producer
or seller. Where the persons held the
exploded idea Of tile value of one cows
milk for children anything in the treat
ment of the COW which affects its nervous
temperament may unfit it for food for
very young children. Uncleanliness or
neglect is often grave source of trouble
in the handling of milk, not only on ac-
count of the possibilities of the addition
Of visible filth, but because milk is pe-
ouliarly susceptible to odor, various
kinds of bacteria and disease germs.
Epidemics Of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been traceable to the milk
supply, unclean cans and other utensils,
and particularly to propagating bacteria.

Those of us who like Friday for vari.

It is not half SO unlucky a day as Mon

been much maligned day, determined
to make scientific investigation of the

but Monday that is the most unfortunate
