THE HINDU WIFE.
How She Compares With the American
Girl.

How She Compares With the American
Girl.
An impression seems to prevail in
western countries that there is no love
between the Hindu wife and husband.
happiest in the world. The Hindu
woman, having been tied to the lot of
the man early, thinks only of him. His
happiness is her happiness. She loves
her husband devotedly. In the western
nations observe that the man works
from morning to late in the night to
earn money. He has no rest. Who en-
joys the benefits of his money? His
wife. While he is struggling to get
the almighty dollar, his wife is enjoy
ing the luXuries and the leisure it buys.
If she can not get the newest fashion
of ornaments or clothing, she is often
unhappy, and, consequently, if the
husband can not buy Them he, too, is
made unhappy. Moreover, the women
in America seem to have greater liber-
ty than the men. The young girl is
brought up by her mother to think that
she is equal to man in some respects
superior to him. She reads novels
spends much time at her toilet; she
wears in her bonnet flowers, feathers,
dead birds, seaweeds, moss, horns,
thorns, big needles, and in her dress,
pins, hooks, ties, iron and brass bars,
clips, stitches and what not, and on
her bosom l have seen her wear liv-
ing lizard fastened with thin chain.
Her waist is laced tight by corset,
which makes her pant for breath.
Thus equipped she sallies forth to
make conquests of young mems hearts.
She seems to me pardon me, l write
without offense) to lack the mild and
delicately sweet look that even the
commonest Hindu woman has. Her
look is bold and defying to the man.
This is all owing to the innate feeling
that she is equal to the man. In her
pride she has forgotten woman's part.

WASHING LACES,
Give Cobwebby Garnitures Your Personal
Attention.

Il
Attention.
Since even duchess is not above SUI
perintending the process of washing
her laces, there is no reason why any
woman should slight this bit of cleans
ing work, which will keep in good con-
dition the webby garnitures costing
these days quite as much as the gowns
they are lavished on.
Miles of laces is sown upon summer
frocks this season. The heavy torch
ons and substantial meshed laces which
deck bright chintzes and ginghams
may go to and from the laundry
whole season and look none the worse
for little rough handling. But tilmy
lace trimmings, which are choice and
expensive, must receive personal at
tentlon from their owner when the
time for cleaning arrives. Some So
ciety women, rather than trust their
laces to cleansing establishments, with
their own jeweled fingers give them
the delicate care necessary.
Laces may be bleached by exposing
them to the sunlight in soapsuds.
Afterward dry the points by pinning
to cloth. They are next rubbed with
sponge dipped in soapsuds of glycer.
inc soap One side should be cleaned,
then the other To remove the soap
rinse in clear water, in which a little
alum is dissolved.
The wrong side of the lace should
be dampened with sponge dipped in
rice water; then it is ironed, and each
flower raised with an ivory stick.
When not much soiled lace may be
cleaned by the use of bread crumbs.
Valenciennes should be folded reg
ular length, inclosed in a sack of fine
linen and soaked for about twelve
hours in olive oil. Afterward boil the
sack containing the lace for fifteen
minutes in water, to which pure soap
has been added in slices. Rinse well,
dip in thin rice water, and pin down
the lace to dry, iron under a muslin
cloth.
Butter-colored laces, and those with
tinge of cream, require to be boiled
for sixty minutes in soapy bluing wa
ter, then take out and boil twice again,
always in fresh water. The third time
leave the bluing out of the water.
A fterward the lace should be put in
gum water, having little brandy and
alum dissolved in it. Then powder
lightly with sulphur flour and iron
when damp.
A trick of the French maid which
obviates the necessity of cleansing lace
often, is to cover the delicate garniture
with silver paper when folding gowns
away.-Boston Globe.

Do the NEXT Thing.

Don't live a single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it, and going straight through
it from beginning to end. Work, play,
study, whatever it is, take hold at once
and finish it up squarely; then TO the
next thing, without letting any mo-
ments drop between. 1t is wonderful
to see how many hours these prompt
people contrive to make of day. 1t is
as if they picked up the moments the
dawdlers lost. And if you ever find
yourself where you have so many
things pressing upon you that you
hardly know where to begin, let me
tell you secret: Take hold of the very
one that comes to hand, and you VIII
find the rest will fall into line and fol-
low after like company of well drilled
soldiers; and, though work may be
hard to meet when it charges in a
squad, it is easily vanquished if you
can bring it into line.-Detroit Free

The HelDless Baby.

The baby too often suffers because it
is the helpless victim from the mis-
taken kindness of loving parents. The
greatest mistake of the parents is, that
they never let baby alone. He gets
too much handling, too many kisses,
too little real care. Put him on his
stomach to sleep. Do you know why?
1t rests his spine. 1t rests grown peo-
pie quite as much. Keep him dry
everywhere, not forgetting his bib.
Keep him out of hot sun in summer and
cold wind in winter, but this does not
mean from all out door air. Give him
plenty of air. He will thrive on it,
Womankind.

At the Circus.

While the elephant was banging
away at the bars of the tigers cage
trying to attract the attention of that
feature of the exhibition, keeper
passed by with giraffe.
Hello, there, necky," exclaimed the
elephant, swatting the giraffe in the
flank with his trunk, you ought to
have the job of taking the flags down
off the top of the tent poles"
"Iwould," observed the giraffe quiet
ly, 'if it wasn't for one thing"
"What's that?"
"Some country zap would take me
for an elephant"
The elephant blinked his eyes time
or two.
"How do you mean?" he inquired
cautiously.
"Meddling with what didn't concern
me-" and the giraffe walked gravely
on.-Detroit Free Press.

ROB ROY" A SUCCESS,
Best Performance Yet Given b

Best Performance Yet Given by
the scotch People.
The lads and lassies Of auld Scotland
turned out in goodly numbers last night
to witness the performance of DRAM
atizalion of Walter SCOTS Immortal
story of Rob Roy" the Highland
chieftain.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of ST. Andrews Society of
st. Paul. and all the preparatory-wor
had been done under the guidance of
Prof. j. a. Walker, of Aberdeen. Scot
land. Prof. Walker will be remem
bered as the arranger of the "Gathering
of the Clans" which was presented
here two years ago. He is the cham
pon Scottish dancer in this country,
having received a medal at the world's
fair.
The story of Rob Roy is too well
known to readers TO need repetition.
Suffice it to say that the presentation
last night at the Grand was most cred
liable one in every respect, especially
when it is taken in consideration that
ali the performers were local amateurs.
Prof. w. w. CarneS, of Chicago, is
noted as the best impersonator OF Rob
Roy in the country, and did not dlSap-
point his audience. Walter Bruce, as
Francis Osbaldistone, earned warm APP
plause, especially for his excellent sing
ing. Peter Cochrane furnished the fun
In his lmparsonation of the red-headed
Dougal cratur, and Mrs. Allan Brown
deserves especial mention for her work
in the difficult character of Helen Nc
Gregor.
Throughout the play the work of the
actors was fairly even, and attested
careful study. The hundreds of chill
dren who participated in the many
dances in the presentation of sketches
from the gathering of the Clans were
accorded liberal and well earned APP
plause. Their work. OH the whole. was
splendid. and showed painstaking eff
forts on the part Of their instructor, for
whom too much cannot be said Ill that
direction. The young people seemed
to enjoy their work even more than the
spectators, and number of the dances
were encored. The comic dance by
twelve little tots was highly amusing.
The Gypsy dance by sixteen young
ladies was one of the prettiest features
of the evening. Every character of
dancing and of every nation seemed
represented, and, where all was good,
it would be hard to select any special
one to accord particular praise.
Rob Roy" will be presented again at
matinee and tonight. In order 10 give
all visitors in the city an opportunity to
attend, the balcony seats have been
reduced from 81 to 30 cents for tonight 8
performance. 1t is we'll worth the price
