WOMAN AND HOME.
WHAT MEN THINK OF THE "GETuP1
OF WOMEN AND GIRLS.

Tho Fireside's Impressions - Women
writers OF the Western Press.
There is nothing that men of society dis
like so much or criticise so freely as un-
tidiness In q woman. Slovenly details In
the way OF shoes, gloves, ties, etc, are al
ways noticed ard commented upon, and to
say q woman is ''smart" and well turned
out" is to give the highest need Of praise
In their vocabulary. Very expensive clothes
are not at all necessary TO insure masculine
appreciation. On the contrary, the simplest
toilets are the most admired. If the fit and
style are good and II the accessories are
carefully considered, and, above all, if the
gown Is fresh and unsoiled.
There is something quite fascinating
about dalntily shod foot peeping In and
out among the 'frills Of her petticoat," and
nowadays expense need be no obstacle, as
the pretty suede shoes, black and white
and tan and gray, are very reasonable in
price Even a girl who is far from wealthy
can easily afford several pairs to wear on
special occasions, while her feathers, tan
and black, can so easily be kept brilliantly
clean by the right sort of polish.
A man also Is more apt to admire style
than beauty. A girl who is ''chic" and
dresses effectively is generally much more
OF belle than her more beautiful sister,
who perhaps relies too much on her pretti-
ness for her attractions. After all Is said
and done, clothes are and will remain one
OF the chief factors Of our existence, the
tailor making the man and the dressmaker
the woman as far as externals 20. Humili-
ating as IL may seem, n becoming or an un-
becoming gown often influences destiny
more than women, much as they love
clothes, dream Of
what In the matter with women's skirts
for the last year or two that they are al
ways open behind at the waisti" asked
hypercritical youth the other day. II never
saw anything like il. Last Sunday In
church three girls were sitting in the pew
In front Of me, and / assure you not one
was tidily put together at the waist Now,
your waist and skirt never come apart" he
continued, addressing his companion.
Pray, how do you manage it' / should
really like to tell my sisters, who are al
ways coming apart"
They will not thank you for quoting me
TO them," laughed his companion, "but
unless things are sewed together there Is
only one way, and that is TO wear the band
OF the skirt very tight; otherwise 1t Is sure
TO sag below the belt. And besides this,
there should be two sets OF hooks and eyes,
'so that there is . good lap. Tell your sis
ters to try these two essentials, and am
quite sure that they will have no more
trouble."-New York Tribune.

shortness Of his speech, and promised to

The F,reside.s Impressions.

The freside is seminary Of infinite i'm
portance. 1t is important because il Is uni
versal, and because the education It be-
slows, being woven in with the woof OF
childhood, gives form and color to the
whole texture of life. There are few who
can receive the honors of college, but all
are graduates of the hearth. The learning
of the university may fade from the recol
lection, its classic lore may molder In the
halls of memory, but the simple lessons OF
home enameled upon the heart of childhood
defy the rust of years and outlive the more
mature but less vivid picture of after years.
So deep, so lasting indeed are the impress
sions of early life, that you often see man
in the imbecility of age holding fresh in
his recollection the events of childhood,
while all the wide space between that and
the present hour is a blasted and forgotten
waste.
You have perchance seen an old and hall
obliterated portrait, and In the attempt to
have it cleaned and restored you may have
seen it fade away, while brighter and
more perfect picture. painted beneath, is
revealed to view. This portrait, first drawn
upon the canvas, Is no inapt illustration OF
you, and though IL may be concealed by
some after design still the original traits
will shine through the outward picture,
giving II tone while fresh and surviving ii
I'm decay. Such is the freside-the great
institution of Providence for the education
OF man.-New York Commercial Adver.

eastern cities women sent out on night de
tails are compelled to go unattended, while

exposure to the rough element, she Is pro

not often assigned to other night work
than that of dramatic and society report

Few women are employed on the daily
press In San Francisco. The Call has one
woman on its staff; The Chronicle employs
one woman, but IL is an Innovation; The
Examiner employs two and sometimes
three women; The Post, The Bulletin and

STOVES WITHOUT FLUEs.

There has recently appeared a fresh illustration of ''what knowl- edge is of most worth" in the dan gers that come from the pitiful ignorance of the simplest facts of science still prevailing among pre- sumably well-informed persons. Certain "patent fuels' have been put on sale, to be used in stoves without chimney connection, and are advertised as being entirely harmless. The natural result has followed. Gullible merchants, ministers, and even doctors have been buying them and nearly smothering themselves or their friends with the gases which must result from the combus- ton of any form of carbon. The makers of these fuels state that ven- tilation is required with their appar- atus, but their customers reason, why let in the cold air if the fuel is harmless, as statedi Or they imag- inc that one opening from room into hallway secures ventilation. " Probably most of the victims of the patent fuels have read about the process of combustion, but they have not learned its nature from expert ments that would make this knowl- edge real to them. Their education has been of the antiquated but not yet abandoned kind which substitutes tho study of books for the study of things. As an explorer who tries to cross deep river is drowned if he cannot swim, so any one who lives in the present age, when natural forces are being put into ssrvice as never before, is badly of if he does not understand how to use these forces without letting them over whelm him. Science is doing many wonderful things in these times, but its achievements always consist in employing laws of nature, never in circumventing them.-From the Editors Table in The Popular Science Monthly for March.
