The very frat duty Of those who serve

There is a demand for woman's ser.
vice in the business world, because OF
the cheapness OF her labor, but her
thoughtlessness is not calculated to
enhance her value. People who oppose
the universal suffrage use this as an
argument. These mistakes will be
corrected in time, and when things are
adjusted and young women go Into
trade and are trained and promoted
according to their fitness for RESPONSE
bility, as they are being trained st home
and 10 this country, we shall have un-
iversally polite, II not as good, service
from women as from men clerks. That
men are more available than women
1t would be useless to deny, but women
must live, and to live we'll they must
work, and work hard. With equal
rights, something like equal efforts
must be put forth In the public world"

Soap bark is about the best thing that
YOU can find for wash for the hair,

For weak person when bathing, es-

When preparing onions for cooking
hold them below the surface OF the wa

Cold water made strong with soda

About Stationery.

No warm tlnts are correct this sea-

gray and delicate fawn are the only
tints admissible, and unless these are OF
the most expensive quality, and as
rule decorated with crest or monogram,
they are not in place. Even these faint
tints will be rather "iad" or "con-
ceiL" for very young ladies' than stand
ard good for the older set
For short letters the small paper and
square envelopes are In order The
larger size should never be used unless
really REQUIRED for q long letter, so that

The people of slegance and good

Miss Harradsn says They Can't Succeed
Until They Learn TO BE Polite.
A charming thing about little Miss
Beatrice Harraden IS her loyalty TO her
sex. Although few women bore her,
there are several types to which she
does not take kindly. One is the selfish
woman OF fashion: the other is the
mannish woman, and the third is the
insolent woman in trade, service or
public life, whose misconduct does
violence to the cause Of woman's Ad-
yancement.

men is the character Of the men tina,

Women swallow at one nouthful the
lie that flatters and drink drop By drop
the truth that is bitter.
A woman is seldom tenderer to man
than Immediately after she has de-
ceived him.
Vanity acts like q woman-they both
think they lose something when love or
praise is accorded to another.
To say "every one is talking about
him" is a eulogy; but to say every one
is talking about her" is an elegy.
The reason why so few marriages are
happy il because young ladies spend
their time making nets, not In making
cages.
Before going to war say prayer; be-
fore going to sea say two prayers; be-
fore marrying say three prayers.
In anger against rival all women,
even duchesses, employ invective.
Then they make use Of everything as a
weapon.
Discretion is more necessary to wo-
men than eloQuence, because they have
less trouble to speak well than to speak
little.
During their youth women wish to be
treated as dlvinities; they adore the
ideal; they cannot bear the idea OF be-
ing what nature wishes them to be.
When =, woman has explicitly con-
demned a given action, says W. ID.
Howells, she apparently gathers cour-
sge for its commission under q little
different conditions.
1t is women's way. They always
love color better than form, rhetoric
better than logic, priestcraft better
than philosophy, and 1ourishes better
than figures.
There is one thing admirable in wo-
men, wrote the Cynical Balzac. They
never reason about their blameworthy
actions. Even In their Discrimination
there is an element Of sincerity.
Women hove no fear Of marriage, be-
cause they are so occupied in imagining
the happiness it may bring them that
they never think Of the possible misery
it includes.
The man who, after studying hun
dred women, thought he knew the sex
thoroughly, admitted on Intimate &C
auaintauce with the hundred and first
that he was densely ignorant OF the ma
ture OF any Of them.
Virtues beautiful thing In women,
said Douglas Jerrold, when they don't
go about 1t like child with drum,
making all sorts Of noises with it.
There are some women who think virtue
was given them as claws were given to
cats-to do nothing but scratch with.

LITTLE THINGS FOR LITTLE ONES

Fencing is the latest fad for little
girls, whose older sisters have long been
experts in the art; even tiny creatures
of seven or eight are now taught TO put

The following represent the best
meats for children in the order Of their
digestibility: Cold mutton, mutton
chops, venison, tenderloin, sirloin steak,

b. c., and now 10 the British museum.
The engraving upon ii is fair picture
Of the horse Of Amenophis II, and the
characters underneath have been de-
cinhered as being the names and titles
of that monarch. The earliest instance
OF an engraved precious stone IS toe

them, but this notwithstanding there is
