WOMEN'S MANNERS.
They are Neither Better or Wor.e Than
 Those of Men.

Women's manners are and long have been Il e subject of much discussion. It has been said that women usurp the rights of others, intrude on the time of other people without conscience: that by thoughtleSsness and indifference they detract much from the peace of life, and add irritat ton to friction. One popular writer accuses women of pre- suming on their sex in their relations with men, especially in business, and assert that they are splteful to others. He sums up their offenses under the following heads:
 FIRsT-The indifference with which a woman will contemplate the fact that the convenience of others has been sacrificed to her caprice Very observable in young women
 SECOND-The needless delay woman often causes in making her appearance when visitors have called upon her Most commonly noticed among women who are no logger classed as girls
 THIRp-The unwillingness of woman to wait for another 10 finish speaking before be. ginning to speak herself Characteristic of nearly all women.
 FoURTH-Woman'S failure to recognize the impor rtance of an engagement Most noticeab ble among women who have the fewest social duties.
 What do insist upon, however is this: that fin the public the average woman shows an in considerateness, a disregard for the ordinary cour tesies of existence (which amounts some. times to positive insolencel, to a degree which is not anywhere nearly approached by the average man.
 There is degree of truth in what this writer says; it is true of some wom- en-of women enough to detract from the comfort of the whole. But rude ness, spitefulness, indifference to en- agreements, an impetuosity of ideas that demands or seems to demand re- lief, are not sins monopolized by wom- en; they share them with their breth- ren. The average woman, like the av- craze man, represents the average in- telligence and culture of our people. It is not the exceptional man or woman who is representative. The manners that prevail represent the popular con- ception of what is good. d.-Outlook.

The Perfect Female Figure,

A Wisconsin girl would like to know the measurements for perfect figure of a young lady of 20 years. Answer: Age, 20; height, 5 feet inches to feet 4]4; weight, 1lS to 122 pounds; bust, 32H to 33 inches; waist, 21 to 22I inches; bust over biceps, fl to 43 inches; ankle, G2l to 714 inches; shoe size, 3N. This is one standard. Others give waist measurement an inch or possibly two inches larger, on the the- ory that a strictly perfect form must not have compressed waist. There are, however, various authorities, mono of which agree. Some prefer Juno, others Venus, and yet others some fairy-likc creature who would be of but little value to the world other than as an ornament or plaything. It seems, however, to be conceded by those who are best qualified to judge that the medium is most to be desired. -Jenness Miller Magazine.

ing garments for a time until he is ashamed of their condition, and make him understand that If he is careless he must abide by the consequences. Ifs child takes sweet things surreptitious- ly it may be because he does not have a sufficient quantity of saccharine matter with his daily food. Give him more sugar or jam at his meals and a little candy after them. Many per sons can recall the uncomfortable longing for sweetmeats which haunted their childhood. At the same time make the offender understand that he has for Q time forfeited your perfect confidence; that you would have given him what he wanted had he asked for it; so he has been foolish as well as greedy, and that no manly man sei2es what he wants without stopping to ask whether he is getting it rightfully or wrongtully. He will appreciate the force of your argument, and the next time the doughnuts tempt him he will be far more likely to resist than if he had been whipped for taking them

AN INVITING EXCHANGE
Is That of San Francisco, With Its Good
 Cookery and Service.

The managers of the Woman's Ex- change in San Francisco are demon strating the value of such an organiza tion in other and more practical lines than as a depot for embroidered doy- lies and painted menu cards They have rented a large and pleasant room on one of the principal business streets, and serve appetizing lunches at req sonable rates to the public. It is by no means ladies lunch room, though the unmistakable fine touch of wom- ans taste makes the place most attrac- tive and homelike. The window is filled with wealth of flowers, not gathered carelessly, but grouped with happy harmony of color These flowers are for sale as we'll as for dec oration. Each of the immaculate little tables inside has its bouquet of flowers There are rose days, when every flower belongs to the Queens family. There are pink days, and violet days, and cool green and white days, when the flowers of divers kinds follow the same color scheme, and the place is pretty enough for a wedding. The photog- raphers of the city frequently perpet- uate the picturesque scene in photo graphs which find ready sale, and the patrons find the place most charming for entertaining their friends.
 Of course. without a good cook in the kitchen all these frills and furbelows would amount to little in the minds of men, but the cooking done by a woman is exceedingly good. The whole place is run by women, the only man being q. Chinaman who SCOUTS tin and keeps the floor clean in the kitchen. This kitchen is always on exhibition from one of the windows of the room set apart for the use of ladies up stairs, and the cleanliness of the place is not the least attractive feature by any means.
 The waiting upon guests is all done by women, who are not allowed to re- ceive any fee. If some insistant and grateful customer refuses to depart without giving fee the waitress turns it over to the management. The super intendent, a most cultured and cordial lady, presides over the whole, and as for noise and confusion it is unknown. In small department near the en- trance the fancy articles are received and sold that form the chief stock in trade of the usual Woman's exchange. N Y Sun

SOME SOUND ADVICE.
How to Treat a Child Guilty of a Slight
 Transgression.

How to Treat a Child Guilty of a Slight
 TransgressiOn.
 When a child does wrong we should . try to probe to the spring of the ac- tion and apply the remedy there. If he disobeys we should ask ourselves whether the obedience we demanded was reasonable, and whether to render it did not require him to overcome a temptation beyond his power to resist. To dress child in spotless attire, and send him out to play with the injunc- tion not to soil his clothes, is as futile as to tell him to swim without going near the water. Contact with mother earth, which his imperative instincts compel him to seek, makes obedience impossible. Dress him sensibly and let him get face and hands dirty; they will wash. If it seems necessary that he should be made more careful, in- stead of taking off the soiled clothing, scolding him, shaking him and re- dressing him, let him wear the offend-

EARNINGS OF MARRIED uwoMeN.
The Many Ways by Which They Add to
 the Family Income.

the Family Income.
 A married woman is not usually sup posed to contribute directly to the fam fly purse, her time and strength being sufficiently taxed when she keeps house, manages children and servants, and administers carefully the domestic affairs which lie within her province. That the husband shall provide the means, and the wife attend to their outlay, saving and economizing as thriftily as she can, is the ordinary ar rangement, sanctioned by custom, and agreeable to our idea of justness and of fair division of labor
 It is now quite usual, however, for married women to supplement the in- come of the family by the exercise of some gift or accomplishment. They write, or teach, or lecture, or paint pictures; they embroider. or make pickles or preserves. With delight ful feeling of independence, and the most generous and tender unselfish- ness, wives who earn money by some effort of this kind spend it for family uses. It goes to pay school bills and purchase shoes. Wherever there is a deficiency, the supplementary earnings of the wife fit in SO easily and in so timely a manner that both husband and wife count on this added source of income as if it were in the anticipated order of things. Often, style of living rather more expensive than would be practicable on the husbands salary or on the profits from his business is adopted because of the wife's earnings: a larger rent is un- dertaken, or the living of the family is on a broader scale. It is not usual for wife to hoard or invest her earn ings separately; they go into the com mon purse, and are spent either for luxuries or for the benefit of the chill dren. When Will gets into a very tight place." said, one day, woman who wields a ready pen, "I sit down and write two or three stories to help him out"
