AN UGLY DucKLINo.
The Great Transformation Effected in III,
by Sensible Woman.

ne Dftdt Enecteu In Her
by n Sensible Woman.
She never thought she had any points;
she had quite made up her mind TO the
irredeemable ugliness which she had
been told was her lot. Then spoke
good, sweet. wise woman: ASK your
mothfr TO let you come to spend the
day with me when next you are going
to party, and we will see what can be
dore." So the poor, ugly duekling
went, and this is what her fairy god
mother did for her.
She took her first for short expedt-
ton, which interested and amused, but
did not tire her. Then she gave her d
thoroughly comfortable lunch, and
made her lie down in n warm room
for two or three hours. The short,
refreshing sleep induced by the warmth
ana quiet ended, and cup of tea en-
joyed, the dressing began. Now,
at home, the routine of the day
had never been interrupted be-
cause there was to be a party
that night. The regulation work and
afternoon walk having been taken,
the girl reached home tired, just in
hAAht W hdN0 a nasty cup VI Nt0 anu
dress. The operation of dressing was
carried on in a cold room, giving time
to get thoroughly chilled, SO that the
transition to warm drawing-room
sent the blood with unbecoming force
to the face.
But the wise woman did nothing so
foolish. She made the girl dress leis-
urely before good fire. She taught
her it is great mistake to stand be-
fore looking-glass to do the hair. 1t
is better to sit and take it easy. else
tired expression comes into The face.
She allowed no hasty washing with
water 20 irritate the skin, hut re-
freshed her face gently with a cloth
dipped in rosewater. She kept up
running commentary on the girls
poin,s as she brought them out one by
one.
"Your hair looks bright as the light
falls on it. | admire that pretty chest
nut brown, with shades of red and
gold in it. There, now Your com
pleXion looks as clear as possible. Ny
dear, how bright and rested your eyes
look! Now do use the hand-mirror to
Ste NOW pretty indL curve Oh your neck
is, with those little curls just waving
about it.'
And the fairy fingers of hope and
happiness touched this girls eyes with
light and tinged her cheeks with soft
color, and gave her gait firmncss and
elasticity which prevented all awl1-
wardness, and when she entered the
crowded room she was able to look peo-
pie in the face, and let them see her
eyes, with the newborn light of pleas
ure and satisfaction dancing i'm them,
and the rest of this girls story, is it not
written in the chronicles of her happy
life and is not the name of this dear,
judicious woman engraved upon her
heart?
The moral of my little preachment is
that, Il 4 girl is plain, you won't make
her any prettier by DINING into her
ears that she is plain. And that at
Effectiveness, if not prettiness, is with
in the reach of all women who realize
what their good points are. And that
it is a mistake to tire ones self out be-
fore party.-The Housewife.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS.
Fashion Causes Them to Vary, but Leaves
Room for Taste.

Room for Taste.
There is a large variety of engage
ment rings in vogue at the present
time, among which are some very elab-
crate and unique designs, but the en-
gagement ring that holds popular favor
among the young men who are serious
ly contemplating indulging in nuptial
functions is the solitaire diamond.
About two years ago the sapphire.
set with diamond, was the favorite,
because it signiied that the lady to
whom it was presented was true blue
and innocent, too. The opal is very
rarely, if ever, used as an engagement
ring. because most people are preju-
diced against it through superstition
Mr.. Sartoris presented Miss Nellie
Grant, daughter of Gen. Grant, with an
opal engagement ring, which she re.
fused to accept, in consequence of
which the ring had to be exchanged for
another.
The most expensive ruby that has
ever been imported into this country
was one that. at wholesale, cost So, 600
1t was retailed to wealthy Califor-
MAN for almost double that price. A
greater number of engagement rings
are purchased during the months of
February and April than any other
months of the year. The reason for
this can not be calculated unless it is
because February is the month pre-
vious to Lent and April the month fol-
lowing.
The different stones are selected in
accordance with the months of the year
If the engagement occurs in January
the stone which represents that month
is the jacienth or garnet; if in February
the amethyst Is appropriate; March.
