Not content with expanding the skirts
and returning TO the ugly and discarded
fashion of forty years ago, it would seem

may merge into long ringlets ike those
that shaded the cheeks of our grand
mothers in the days of their youth.
! The well known effect in lessening or

an ornamental and, at the same time,
efficaoious way. In winter she wears an
| inch wide strip of asbestos, a noted nom
conductor of heat, folded in GOLDEN
bossed velvet ana buckled with jeweled

are spheroids of rose quartz about an inch
in diameter, linked together with filigree
silver, these possessing to a remarkable

What figure Mrs. Roger Pryor cuts at
the grand opera l saw her few even
ings ago, says a writer in the New York
Advertiser, raise her gold pince-nez to
her eyes and survey the audience with the
air of queen. She is as beautiful indeed
in her middle age as she was in her youth.
Her lovely hair curls gracefully from her
forehead. She has delicately marked
eyebrows. regular features, and faint,
sweet, wintry bloom in her cheeks. She
is at once dignifed stately, resolute and
naughty, and looks much as though she
had been accustomed to her own way all
her life.
The amusing blunders Of the green
servant, says the New York Times,
would fill a volume. Not many. however,
reach a more comical hight than that
told by woman at a luncheon last week
of her own lately arrived cook. 81 told
her" she said, "to put some thyme In the
breast Of the turkey on the first occasion
of our having such fowl after her advent,
at the same time handing her bunch of
the herb sufficient to last all winter.
CHANGING in the kitchen later, | saw the
bird ready for the oven,' as Mary told
me. 1t was not drawn, and in the
breast she had cut hole and inserted
the entire bunch of thyme la corsage

Although society folk who were erst-
while Anglomaniacs, says the New York
Tribune, are at last beginning to have the
courage of their convictions, and corn is
now eaten off the cob openly and detiantly
by the best people, while pies are no
longer treated with contumely, but have
an honored and recognized place among
the other sweets for dessert, eggs and
even sugar are still handled with a GER
tain reserve. Even the boldest patriot
would hesitate to break the former into
an egg cup il visiting with a smart"
house party, although it is manifestly alb
surd that an egg may not be mixed on the
table as well as in the kitchen. Even the
word scrambled is obnoxious to Angli-
can ears, although the chief may send up
"oeufs brouilles on toast" as breakfast
dish in the most conventional houses.
Sugar has come more or less under the
ban of late years, and 1t is considered
'quite English" to take tea and coffee
without any sweetening. $50 much
cleaner, you know" said an Englishman
with British lucidity and tact, when
asked why he declined sugar at his hos
tess's table,
The education of girl resolves itself to
single basis, writes Edward w. Box in
strong article in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. Woman's progress may,
in the minds of some, have seemed to
make it more complex, aud, confusion
can enter into the question IL a mother
allows herself to listen to the proclamers
of so-ca1led advanced ideas" We
win be led into the mis-,
at the expense of the heart, if we allow
ourselves to be so led. But the error is
cruel one-painfully so to the girl who is
led unknowingly, into it. But if we permit
our common sense to rule, the problem
solves itself. We do not want our
daughters to be encyclopedias, but
true, womanly women. The first
we can buy the latter we cannot. Let
us first look after the physical develop
ment of our girls, teaching them that
good health outweighs all things. Let
them understand the human mechanism,
| hiding nothing Let them know what
God requires of woman and why it is
essential that she shall be as perfect in
| health. and as well developed in body as
possible. Teach, by example as well as
| by precept, the value of outdoor exercise.
| Then begin mental development, giving
her the benefit of the largest educational
advantages within your powers, insisting.
| however, that her studies shall be those
! likely to be of great usefulness in after
life. Let her study not up to her fullest
capacity, but just little this side of it.
| A margin of unspent power is a tremend-
uous force to woman. Then, if our
| schools and colleges shall continue to neg
| lect the teaching of household economics,
| keep your daughter close to
you at home for year at
! least, or longer If necessary. With
her mind free from mental studies, teach
J her the rudiments of the home, hiding
not the kitchen uutensils as you show her
the dainty china. Make of her an all
round good home builder and housekeeper
| holding up ever before her the one great
! truth that woman is always most salts
! factory to herself when she is a woman
and most beautiful to others when she is
womanly Let her know what ii means
| to be wife and mother. Make her not
| dependent, but not likewise independent
| in the modern Interpretation of that word
Between the two lies the truest type of
| womanhood Let her aim be womanly, her
| thought OF others tender, living her life
