NY LApY's DRESSING TABLE.


Ornament Any Boudoir.
II Is many years that poets have
sung OF their lady loves sitting before
their dressing-tables, adding delicate
touches 70 the beauty OF which both
the lady and her lover were so proud.
says the Housewife
But surely no prettier background
for the scene which they picture
could be imagined than a charming
little dressing bureau. a new design.
Around the white enameled table. a
simple affair, but in fne taste are
three short brass rods fastered 20 the
wall. Over these three rods and at
the back is arranged a drapery OF
figured white muslin, edged with a
soft frill or lace. At the sides Just
on level with the top OF the table
the drapery is caught back by cord
and tassels, but it would be fully as
picturesque and feminine in the po-
sition IT is TO occupy IL tied back
with ribbons
Fastidious persons, who dislike TO
have any Of their toilet articles out
In the dust Of the room, will probably
keep their pretty table dressed up
with vase Of fresh flowers and a
china cat hall perhaps. But more
will love TO see il all complete with
the useful button-hooks. scissors,
knife, and similar trinkets, all laid in
rows ready 20 hand. The nail things
will all be on tray by themselves
the brush and combs in their own
tray Of china or laclu and on either
shelf pretty sachets and cushions for
both stick-pins, hat-pins, and toilet
pins.
Pressing tables were almost un-
heard OF in American homes a few
years ago, but their utility is so un-
questioned that their use spreads
from month TO month. Certainly,
no matter how many persons sleep in
one room, they should, il they make
any pretense whatever toward max
ing toilet, have each a dressing
table to herself. Rooms may often
be SO small that one large clothes
bureau must do for two sisters or
friends, and this without the least
need for one interfering with the
others comfort
But to dress at one glass, that is
quite different Superstition argues
that it is wretchedly unlucky for one
person TO look over the shoulder OF
another in a mirror, but it is more
than unlucky: it is bad manners.
No woman can give TO her love-
locks that undivided attention which
hot iron requires while another w.
man is nodding and bobbing behind
her shoulders. 1t is diStracting TO
the mind, and burned foreheads and
lost tempers are apt TO be the result.
More than that, what would be all
right TO one OF the roommateS would
be highly dspleasing to another's
sense OF neatness, and that would
not lie pleasant
Every human being has right TO
a reasonable amount OF liberty, and
that cry for liberty is nowhere more
just than in the relations between a
pretty girl and her picture in her
mirror

! II Is well-known that the late Sir
Andrew Clark had contempt for
I the view that hard work hurts a
man, says the London News. From
I the latest OF the series OF articles re-
producing in the Lancet instructions
given by him in clinical medicine at
the London hospital, we make the
following interesting quotation, re-
viving in his. own words a bit OF
autobiography, with the substance
mil:ar:
Labor is the life OF life. And
especially is IL the life of life TO the
delicate. And when any organ is
sick, il Is then truer than la health
that even in sickness and delicacy IL
is better for the organ TO do what
work OF its own IT can, provided 1t
can do it without injury. And can
say To you from a considerable ex-
perience OF tuberculous pulmonary
disease, l can say with perfect con-
fldence that those who have done

who have occupied themselves the
most ! never knew my own par
ents.
"They both died OF phthisis At
the age of II / myself went to Ma
dera to die OF phthisis But did
not die. and on coming back had
the GOOD luck TO get into this great
hospital, and in those days they
were not very pleased TO have the
Scotchmen coming TO London TO Oc-
oc upy such appointments. The
mem bers OF the staff had heard that

since that time, and IL Is all the
other doctors that are gone. Only 1

tleman-not dead yet"
There was one little mistake here,
as the editor OF the Lancet points
out. Sir Andrew Clark had for the
moment forgotten that Dr. w. j.
Little was still alive

Clark in the lecture above quoted,
