Ways Of Earning a Livelihood.

A writer in the Ladies' Pictorial makes
some suggestions for those who seek a new
way OF earning a livelihood. After asking
her applicants few questions she usually
finds that they have not been educated for
any particular branch Of industry, but are
willing to try anything The more ambi
tious ones aspire to writing stories for mag
azines or course they have had no spe-
cial training for this, but some of their
friends have latteringly suggested a latent
talent for literary work, so they produce a
manuscript and submit it with the utmost
confidence in their own ability. Some
women can do leather work, wood carving
and water color drawing, while others wish
to be companions to nice old ladies who
will pay well to have some one sing and
read to them.
1t seems that in Ireland there are some
employments for women which are not
overstocked with workers, such as genuine
ly good cooking, laundrying fine things, re-
pairing delicate laces and accompanying
vocal and instrumental music at sight in
an efficient manner A lady skilled in the
art, who will go out and cook special lunch
cons and dinners in a clearly, economical,
punctual and satisfactory way at a reason
able cost, can be great success and OF in
estimable value to many families in this
country as well as in Ireland
Laundrying is not high art enough to
tempt many women to perfect themselves
in it, but it requires a certain amount of in
telligence-much knowledge Of fabrics not
usually found in the ordinary domestic
such as when its perfection demands that
silk handkerchiefs be delivered as pure
white and as soft as new, the backs of mus
lin fabrics ironed into perfect shape, such
fannels put through process that will not
necessitate transferring them to the small
est, most attenuated doll the business be-
comes worthy Of consideration. Mending
lace so that the stitches cannot be detected
exacts a special skill which would seem to
be easily acquired by ladies who are fond
If dainty work.

The Etiquette of Calling.

'The proper thing to do" If girl wishes
to have new acquaintance "a man) in
formed that she wishes to have him come
as a visitor to the house where she lives is
to ask her mother or whoever is at the head
of the house to send him card inviting
him to come on fixed evening or on set
evening, such as Friday evenings" any
week. That is sufficient announcement to
the man that his call will be welcome. 1t
is not good form for her to invite him her
self, but it is quite correct for him to ask
il he may have permission to call on her.
He will generally do this II he has any
sense of propriety at all, and in no cass
will he or should he expect her to invite
him to come to her house ''out of hand. -

A Poets Opinion of Women.

Kate Gannett Wells writes interestingly
Df the society girl and Of the college girl.
One is charming and the other is intellect
ual, she says, and she adds that both are
noble and both desirable as wives.
Amen to that proposition, Sister Wells.
That man young or old) is fortunate who
can interest woman in him. We do not
wonder that man is attracted to woman,
for to womankind are accorded the gifts Of
personal beauty, of amiability, of grace, of
tenderness, of spirituality, Of delicacy, of
graciousness-in fine, Of every sweet and
detachable thing. Therefore to be drawn
toward one of these divinely endowed
creatures is a result easily to be under
stood, but it passes our comprehension
why upon her part woman tolerates-nay,
even becomes assoted upon man. How
little, compared with the transcendent
charms of woman, is there to praise in the
awkward, rough, homely, hairy, uncouth,
illkempt, selfish males of humankind.
So he is happy who has a woman to love,
ind he is blessed who finds woman that
will love him. Be she n society or college
girl, it matters little and it differeth not;
she is a woman, and therefore to be beloved
and honored and reverenced and cherished
as one whose companionship is a delight, a
solace and an inspiration in this life and a
preparation for further companionship in
the better life beyond.-Eugene Field in
Chicago News-Record.

the foreigner, bend your ear TO the faint,
disjointed whispers Of the sick. But for a
full grown, healthy native to hand out to
you an abortive mess of words to disentan-
gle and comprehend as best you may, and
then to resent your error or Impotence, is
unreasonable.
Some amiable and long suffering men,
Der, generally the mother, is skilled in un-
Outstanding the rudimentary outcries Of
her young and her mate, and by so doing
perpetuates their weakness. An immov-
able standard of accuracy maintained from
the very beginning would be far kinder.
Refusal to answer until the question was
clearly expressed. refusal to notice an ir-
relevant statement, refusal to do others
work for them-this policy, rigidly pur-
sued by the mother, would be far wiser, far
kinder than the YES, dear, mother knowsp
which is so comforting at the time, but
which prevents any one else from ever
knowing.
If the desire to be understood is not mo-
tive enough, if the laws Of common cour-
tesy are not motive enough, if there is no
claim of Christian kindness to be acknowl-
edged, has not the artistic conscience some
uthority?-Charlotte P. Stetson in Kat

WOMAN AND HOME.
REV. DR.. THORPE OF HARTFORD PIC
TURES THE MODEL WIFE.

Ways of Earning Livelihood-A Poets
Opinion or woman-CareIess Expression
In the Home-The Love Between Daugh-
ter and Father.
She looketh well to the ways of her house.
bold proverbs XXI, 20.
The elements going to make up model
wife are usually quite as important to be
found in the model husband, and first let
us say that the model wife makes herself
an interested partner in all the affairs of
the husband. Not to be supported, but to
support in every laudable way by sympa-
thy commendation and real and manifest
interest should be the constant aim of the
wife.
The model wife should have larger faith
in the husband, magnify instead of minify
his ability, his good qualities Let him
feel constantly that whatever the world
may say of him or disbelieve in him the
wife at least has large faith in his ability
and disposition to succeed. The model
wife will try to make the home the best
and brightest place on the earth for the
husband. The home may be humble, but
it can be clean and bright with the light of
love The wife should study the art of
homemaking, which enables the husband
to say, Home is always where my wife is"
The model wife makes herself an intel.
ligent companion of her husband. She
sets out to know something of the hus-
bands daily work-mechanical or profes
sional-and studies to comprehend some
what the scope OF thought upon which his
mind is for the most part severely bent
The wife of the newspaper man learns
something Of newspaper making; of the
merchant, something of the store; of the
mechanic, something of machinery; of the
lawyer, something Of law, thus making
herself an intelligent companion of her hus
band.
The model wife studies to make herself
attractive to her husband. Especially does
she do this quite as much after marriage.
Many wife was a perfect butterfly be-
fore marriage, who through neglect Of her
personal attire becomes quite uncomely,
not to say rcpulsive, after marriage. The
model wife always puts on her company
attire for her husband. She never allows
herself to talk to others of the frailties Of
her husband. That the husband has frail-
ties, makes mistakes, comes short Of the
highest ideal, will doubtless be quite ap-
parent to all; 1t is not necessary nor best
that the wife should go peddling them
along the street or among the neighbors.
The model wife will always avoid the
habit or spirit Of fault finding. Probably
there will be enough to criticise, faults
plenty If you look for them, but it rarely
pays to dwell upon them or make them to
appear prominent in the home life. Better
to forget and forgive, The model wife is a
Christian wife She has come to love God,
the giver Of all good, and she desires and
tries to follow Jesus Christ, his Son, the
highest model Of human life. She is rich
ly possessed of the spirit of charity, and she
lives, or tries to so live, that she can take her
husband along to heaven.-Hartford Cou-
rant

Wouan's wit,

This is the way one woman extricated
herself and another from an embarrassing
situation. A young girl under the woman's
chaperonage came to her early one morn
ing with direful tale of a moonlight walk
rather late the night before and the acct
dental encounter with some sad old gossips
under the same roof. The elder woman
listened to the end. Then, Pop into bed. I"
she said briskly.
But am dressed for the day." cried the
other, bewildered.
The only response was to repeat the com.
mand. Lying down on the bed, she was
snugly covered up after which the jolly
little matron kissed her and broke out into
a laugh of satisfaction.
"That story will be brought to me first
of ALL" she then explained. II can reply,
don't you see, that tucked you up myself
as usual before 10 o'clock. did-before 10
this morning. The occurrence will pass
for case of mistaken identity. But don't
do it again. New York Times.

Lace For Walls.

An excellent effect for wall and ceiling
decoration was obtained recently by clev-
er fellow, who pasted cheap nottingham
lace over plain colored wall paper. The
materials. both the lace and the wall paper,
were cheap, but when finished the wall had
a most aesthetic appearance. OF course
all lace patterns are not desirable, but by
cutting the borders and combining proper
details of the curtains the effect Of the
scheme, II done carefully, is excellent In
handling lace the decorator should catch
one end to the wall and carry the rest
of the fabric along by allowing it to drape
evenly over an ordinary broom handle,
pushing the broom handle along to the face
Of the ceiling The lace is thus applied per
fectly even.-Philadelphia Times.

Payne's Little Sweetheart.

The little sweetheart Rosalie" Of John
Howard Payne's correspondence was pref
ty child whom he had always petted and
of whom he complained whimsically at her
marriage for the purported cruelty with
which she had thrown over her old admirer.
The saddened man never forgot the bright
eyed girl who had lived out long life at
the birthplace of both these oddly assorted
friends in the quaint old seaport town of
Easthampton. Rosalie has been for many
years the portly, gray haired widow of Cap
tain Baker, whose body is buried in the lit
tie graveyard IN the village green. When
the author of Home, Sweet Home" was
laid to rest in his native land few years
ago, Mr.. Corcoran sent formal invitation
to Mrs. Baker to attend the public funeral.
In her reply she playfully remarked that
the wish to go to Washington would scarce
ly be accepted as railroad fare BY return
mail came check for her entire expenses

The Love between Daughter and Father.

Inc Love ltetWecn OhuBnber ana chther'
There are countless examples of devoted
affection between father and daughter to-
day Young girls have fitted themselves
for business that they might be better able
to aid the parent whom they 30 love and
honor.
Some years ago one of the best pupils in
a school of mining, connected with one Of
the western universities, was a young girl
who chose assaying as her profession that
she might always be closely associated with
her father, who was a wealthy mine owner.
There are similar examples to be met on
every hand, and in the new regime it is
quite likely to be the daughter who is des-
tined to be the stay and support Of the
father in his old age, as the son has monop-
olized this responsibility in the past. To
thousands of women the father is the ideal
of all manly virtues, the pattern and model
by which all other men are judged. 1t
sometimes happens that so exalted is this
ideal in the mind of the daughter that it is
never approached. much less surpassed, by
those destined to come within the circle of
her friendship. Fathers seldom realize the
height and depth of this type of daughterly
affection.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Flower Decoration.

An abundance of flowers is by no means
anecessity for arranging either a room or
a table for festive occasions. Sometimes
the most perfect long stemmed roses are
put singly here and there in tall glasses,
showing their beauty much better than
when massed. The attraction of dinner
table that was much admired was just one
magnificent rose in rare vase of Venetian
glass.
The Japanese secure the fine poise their
flowers have when arranged by putting
them in sand instead of water The beauty
Of the stems is, however, lost by this ar
rangement, and the flowers fade sooner

Care of SiIverwnre.

A careful woman that know permits
neither her silver spoons nor the knives
and forks to be laid upon dishes of china
or glass when the table is being cleared.
This care often prevents delicate pieces Of
tableware from being broken or scratched,
and also keeps the silver in better condi-
ton. Knives and forks are placed in one
common earthenware pitcher, with the
handles standing, and the spoons in an
other. Treated in this way the handles Of
knives do not become stained and the silver
needs less frequent cleaning.-Exehange

NO BLANKS IN THIS co..PEr1oN.

NJ BLANhS IN THIS COs-PET1ON.
This is a competition of rather an un-
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for
club house on certain corner is not &C
cepted has spent his labor on something
of very little use to him. But the person
who patented a simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty. five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

get away from the very ornate and illegi-

much employed But the opposite extreme
is reached when the name or initials are
merely written in a running hand and out
lined in the embroidery cotton, which prac-

few, is hardly to be commended in com
parison with the employment of simple,

SPANS Regent Is a Great Swimmer.

The queen regent of Spain is magnifi

Every day in the season at San Sebastian,
where the members of the royal family
spend their summers, the seashore is
thronged with spectators to witness her
majesty's really remarkable feats. She is
always accompanied by two men in boat,
who watch her closely for fear Of accidents.
1t often happens that they find it impos-
sible to keep up with her movements, and
nothing affords the swimmer more amuse-
ment than race with and to distance

Only wealthy Women Should Have Hair,


A poor woman has no business with
lot of hair. Only maid or French bar
Der can keep an abundant head of hair in
order, and this luxury is not within the
means of the average woman. Mothers OF
large families who are obliged to do their
own work; girls who are employed in
shops, factories and offices all day; dress
makers and operators on clothing who have
long hours, close quarters and intermina-
BILE worry; girl students who are obliged to
help with the homework after school
hours, and professional women who are
fighting for every inch Of ground should
wear minimum crowns of glory" 1t
takes great deal more time to keepa head
Of hair clean than the aforesaid woman can
spare, and If the head cannot be properly
cared for it should be shorn. A bald head
is not beautiful object, but an untidy
scalp is a sure indication of low breeding

Very Handy In Anv siokroom.

broad stanchions. 1t spans the invalid's
