Happily, as we are past the day whom men
looked askance upon women's sincere efforts
at advancement, so we are past the day when
women deemed 1t profitable to ape distinctly
masculine traits. We have outgrown the first
rude period of abortiye and misdirectet en-
ergy, but it does not follow that the millen-
mum has been reached. Mr.. Arnold has ven-
tured to say that the best spiritual fruit Of
culture is to keep man from a self-satisfaction
which is retarding aad vulgarizing, yet no
one recognized more clearly than he the un-
gracious nature of the task. What people
really like to be told is that they are dong all
things well and have nothing TO learn from
anybody. This is the reiterated message

ers itself so sapiently and by which 1t main
tains its popularity and power.

the dazzling mountain tops which we may
never reach-From "Aut Caesar Aut Nihil,'

During the Summer there is nothing better
for dessert than fresh fruit. 1t may deserved
in its ordinary state temptinSly arranged, or
frozen, or in jellies.
An effective way of serving currants is to fill
the center of large glass dish with broken
ice. Tastefully arrange fresh currdnt leaves
around the ice, making "a handsome bed on
which to place punches of fruit. Each per-
son at the table should be provided with q
l:ttle powdered sugar. in winch TO dip the
currahts before eating them from the stem.
Another good way OF serving this fruit is to
dip il in the beaten white OF an egg aud then
in sugar and let the coating get dry before
serving the currants.
This produces a pretty effect, though the

laid on lee.
The yachting glove is here. There are
number OF styles from which to choose.
