A Woman I'm IL.

There is always woman in IT." If
there be any evil done, we always see
the words, There was a woman i'm 1t,
but these people forget to count the
thousands Of noble deeds where a wom-
ans steady hand and clear brain were
at the helm. Certain men are so apt to
pattern after Father Adam, and when
they err throw all the blame on the
woman, forgetting while they accuse
woman, and yet boast of their own
strength, courage and soldlerly power,
that 50 doing is confessing their own
weakness.
Go back, If you will, to Isabella Of
Spain. When all others laughed at the
chimerical dreams of Columbus. she
parted with her jewels and equipped the
ships which found their way 10 the new
world. She was the equal of her hus-
band, and as such counseled and gave
her commands, and who would call Isa-
bella Of Spain unwomanly2 Certainly
not we, the beneficiaries of her self
sacrifice.
And was II not the woman who kept
up the faith of the men and urged them
to renew energy when those first pilgrims
landed on the New England coast?
There was ga woman in il" when HaT-
riet Beecher Stowe brought home 20 the

The WOES of nrIde-.

There is no escape for her short of the
wilds Of Africa. Such a thing as a bride
travelling incOgnito is unknown. The rail-
road porters and other officials are IA
miliar with all varieties and are never
deceived. 1t Is the same with hotel func-
tionaries, and even the street gamins
follow her carriage for chance to earn
a dime from the overgenerous groom.
The attention which she receives imme-
dfately gives the cue to those not so well
versed in the detection of brides. and
they at once begin to watch ler every
movement
She enters a hotel dining-room, and
there is a subdued buzz Of Here comes
the bride" from every tab People
usually remember their mann srs suffi-
GENTLY 70 abstain from comment while
she is present, but the moment she leaves
the room they begin TO criticise.
If she IS dressed as a bride should be
dressed, you viii hear them say, well,
if ever l am married, / shall not put
on a matrimonial uniform to advertise
the fact" or why is it that brides never
can be sensible2"
But II she has endeavored to dress
with as little ostentation as possible they
are no better pleased and exclaim, isn't
she too dowdy for anything

not all fiowery, SO do not neglect her,

Ch1aren,s Mistakes.

Never scold a child for mistakes. and
do not nervously and lmpatiently fret
and nag and worry at it because il does
not learn to 60 a thing after once tell
ms. When a baby begins to sit at the
table and use q spoon there is need Of
continuous Quiet and judicious watching
and training IN order TO cultivata
proper habits and teach il to use the
spoon and fork correctly.
There is nothing at all inviting cum
ming or pretty in seeing a child play with
its food or make unsuccessful and awk-
ward attempts to set the spoon to its
mouth.
Teach the child precisely what is to BE-
done and do not stop until it under
stands, then mildly but firmly insist on
its doing the right thing as nearly as it
is able every time. There are children
of FIVE years whose table manners are
everything that could be desired There
are others, children of larger growth
who all their lives are a source of an
nOyance to their friends because they
either do not know or do not care what
proper department is
1t is nonsense to say that one cannot
teach children. Every mother Of a fam
lily should take time herself or. if she is
not capable Of doing this. should en-
ploy some trustworthy person 10 do il
for her.
1t Is almost always possible to find
time for the things we want 10 do most
and certainly there can be nothing more
important than the judicious care that
assures for the child in later years rea-
sonably good table manners.

Tight LacIng and Tender Feet.

The evil effects of tight lacing will be
very soon realized by the woman who
has tender feet. The undue compression
adds tenfoid to the pain. and very often
the ankles are so swelled and inflamed
by the end OF the day that they are ut
terly shapeless.
In cases of this kind the remedy is not
far to seek. but it is more difficult TO re-
lieve those who suffer legitimately. so to
speak. The following treatment should
be persevered in. 1t viii give immediate
relief. and when practiced should be re-
sorted to twice day:
Soak the feet we'll in tepid water. to
which a little ammonia has been added.
and as the water gets cold pour In more
hot to keep up the temperature. After
drying the feet rub them gently and thor
oughly with a mixture made thus:
Add an ounce Of the best linseed oil TO
the same quantity of limewater, shake
the bottle in which the ingredients are
until mixture about the thickness of
cream is produced; then pour in half a
dram OF spirits OF camphOr, shake again,
and it is ready for use. The feet. after
being rubbed. should be wrapped in soft
linen for a little while, and then pow
dered with boracic acid before the stock
ings are replaced. In the event Of the
feet and ankles being in a very intiamed
condition. after soaking them as l have
described, apply an arnica lotion, which
VIII soon allay the discomfort. This is
made by adding twenty drops of tincture
OF arnica to a cupful Of tepid water;
saturate a piece Of lint sufficiently large
to envelope the entire foot with the TO-
ton. cover II with a piece Of oiled silk,
and rest for an hour or tWO.-EXchlnge.

rhore Fctchlng ErcIn.he..

Do your long. dark, curling lashes lie
upon your checks like a dusky fringe
when you sleep or when you coyly gaze
downward? Would you~1ike them to If
they do not?
II your ambition lies in the direction Of
the regulation heroine eyelash, the first
step toward obtaining it is 10 cure any
trouble you may have with your eyes.
All local irritation is as bad for the
lashes as il is to the eyes themselves. The
tendency 10 rub the eyes invariably re-
suits in thinning the lashes. Inhamel
eyelids always bring about thin, short
''scrubby" iashes. If the lids are inclined
TO be inhamed, a wash Of two or three
drops of camphor, a teasp0onful Of bOraX
and two ounces of water is invaluable A
mixture of two parts water TO one OF
witch hazel, allowed to simmer and ap-
piled very hot, IS also soothing to in
famed eyelids. When these washes are
being used to strengthen the eye, soothe
the lid and preserve the lashes from total
destruction. the lashes may be rubbed
every night with some greasy ointment
to encourage their growth. Vaseline is
probably the best thing 10 stimulate the
growth and give a good dark color to the
eyebrows and eyelashes.-N. Y. Mail and
EXPRESS.

do not believe In stays that are too
tight. something that can never be
said about absolutely well fitting one.
Overlhg corsets are seldom desirable,
inasmuch as they turn over on the edges
and the bones are apt TO press upon the
abdomen In a way that Is not pleasant.
A high bust corset should be selected for
the woman who is rather large. but for her
who is slender a lower one viii be found
to fit better and TO give a better shape.
French dressmakers all prefer a short
corset. Never buy your corsets too large
in the bust. They simply turn over and
make an ugly lump and do not. as you
expect, appear TO increase the size OF the
bust. Even II one buys coutille corsets a

will Il last longer and be found 10 draw

the round cotton lace. imprint itself upon

ing a cheap corset.-Isabel A. Mallon In
