The Southern Girl.

There is one point at least where the
southern girl is the superior Of her visit
ors, and that Is In her relation to her own
sex, says writer In the Boston Herald.
Let strange girl come into southern
ballroom or reception or afternoon tea,
and she will find herself surrounded with
q spirit of frlendliness and welcome. Even
the ordeal Of the dressing room Is turned
from trial to privilege. She will find
kind faces to look pleasantly at her and
kind hands ready to render her any little
service, quite independent Of the question
as to whether they know who she is or not.
She will fad that she Is not stared at,
either, with approval or severity. II her
gown Is beautiful, there will be no vulgar
curiosity about 1t, and If it Is dowdy or
ugly there will be no supercillous criticism
of glance. Contrast all this with the
manner that obtains In dressing room In
the north, and the advantage will un-
doubtedly be on the southern side.
In her manner Of treating the opposite
sex the southern girl has also her own
way. She Is more free and easy undoubt-
edly, but close study of her will reveal
the fact that she Is more apt to put man
on his honor than her sisters Of other SEQ
tions are. She Is so unsuspicious Of the pos
sibility Of danger that that very fact great

BabY's Daily Bath.

The most sacred rite In a household
which boasts o baby Is the baby's daily
bath. 1t should be conducted with due
ceremony, and not with haste, splashing
and squealing. The tub, which may be Of
porcelain, tin, wood or rubber, should be
placed on broad bench high enough to
save the mother from much bending. The
baby will appreciate having a straight
backed mother when he grows up even
more than he will low bath in his infan.
cy. The tub should not be too deep and
should be large enough to allow the baby
to kick without knocking his feet against
the sides.
The water should be about the tempera-
ture Of the baby's blood, which Is about 98
degrees F. Thermometers placed in a
ring of cord can be bought, which Goat in
the water and prevent the danger Of
mistake in temperature. Care must be
taken to place the bathtub out of the way
of drafts. A screen placed around the tub
Is a safeguard not to be despised.
The sponges used for the body should
always be the softest and finest procurable
and the soap plain and pure-castile is the
best-and baby himself should be scrub
bed from the crown of his bald head to his
rose petal feet till he looks like q pin
oherub and then wrapped in a warm
Turkish towel and rubbed briskly, If his
little constitution will allow Of such treat
ment. An alcohol rub makes the skin
hard and the baby strong. After the bath,
breakfast, flannel wrapper and nap for
baby, and the little rub, the sponges and
all other accessories of the baby's toilet
should be washed out thoroughly and
placed in the air and sunshine to dry

Urbane-I should have said that that Is
one Of its great merits. The spring Of the

doubt suited to the old Greek life and to

Rath--The Southern Girl.
It is indeed refreshing in these fin do
steele days of feminine fads and foibles to
find woman pre.eminently domestic--a
yeritable home body, if you please-who
believes 1t is nobler to mold shuman heart
than to mold in clay, to dabble in crayons
or to "giggle, gable, gobble" at social
functions. On this account the wife Of
the distinguished London reformer and
journalist, Mr.. William T. Stead, is all
the more interesting.
Doubtless no more striking eXempli1ca-
tion Of radiCslism and conservatism may
be found than in the commodioUs, hedge
encircled country home at Wimbledon,
England, widely known as Cambridge
House. 1t Is the abode of that distinctive
man of affairs, who, In his loyal defense
Of q principle, suffered incarceration In q

wife, who finds her chief delight in the
quiet retirement of the flreside Though

ments Of each others life and love.
For time Mrs. Stead assisted her hus-
band in his journalistic affairs, but her
life has, for the most part, been lived in
private Her time and her talents are de-
voted to the interesting family of four
sons and two daughters, and in this happy
household she reigns as the beloved and
honored queen of hearts.
To personally supervise the education Of
this interesting flock, sometimes pursuing
a branch of study with them, Mrs. Stead
considers her highly happy prerogative.
In word, she makes their interests her
all absorbing theme Of thought. Herein
she finds woman's sphere, so called. Phil
anthropic work in her church, affairs of
the Bristol orphanage and the Salvation
Army consulate diversion. She enter
tains hut few friends and indulges only in
a semiocoasional outing. Her life Is given
to the preparation Of six other lives for O
creditable role on the stage Of life.
In appearance Mrs Stead Is unassum-
ing. Of medium stature, her face has
sweet, sympathetic expression that invari-
ably attracts. Her eyes are blue, her COM
plexion fair, and her hair waves into q
simple style of coiffure. Modest in man.
ner, unpretentious in dress, she is a typ
ical example Of an English gentlewoman.

If man dies intestate, his widow takes:
First.--Real estate: One-third for life in
all real estate, except wtd land. If there
are no children, she takes $4,000 of his
real estate absolutely and one-half of the
rest of his real estate for life. II there ara
no children nor kindred, she takes the
whole absolutely. She also has the right
to occupy the home for 40 days after the
husbands death without rent.
Second.-Personal property: ProVisionS

be made by the court. II there is issue,
the widow takes one-third. If there Is no
issue, she takes all up to $4,000 and one
half the excess above $40, 900. II there are
no issue nor kindred, she takes all.

Face Lotions.

It Is often mistake for woman to use
certain face lotions because they seem to
agree with and improve the skin Of soma
other woman. A dry skin requires one
kind Of treatment, very oily skin an.
other, and even the different features Of
the same face different treatment. A
FrenChwoman thinks that our country.
women are slow to remember or think Of
this difference. She says: 'If the skin be
of good quality on all the face, with the
exception of the nose, and the latter Sc.
cretes too much oil, bath with sponge
dipped in borax water will keep the nose
in better condition, while the rest Of the
face would be injured and dried by borax.
The wrinkles about the eyes may be suo'
cessfully treated with cocoa butter, while
for the other features that treatment might
be harmful. Every woman may try for
herself the action of harmless cosmetics,
but they should be used sparingly."-

Hot applications to che stomach are Of
6rSt Importance in this complaint. Flan-
mel bands heated at the fire or wrung out
Of hot water, hot salt wrapped In flannel
or a hot water bottle next the skin all help
a speedy cure, but no medicine is lasting.
With attention to the diet the number and

but 1t will very likely be three months be-
fore they subside. e.--Kennett Wood in St.
