This little story is told of two arts
tocratic Southern ladies, mother and
daughter, who stayed at a Back Bay
hotel for short time during the
summer. One day a friend whose
home is in Boston encountered them
just before sunset walking down Com
mOnwealth avenue with nothing but
their lovely tresses upon their heads
''Where in the world are your hats %

II let my daughter persuade me that
we might just step out to look at the
Garrison statue a minute before din

all the way down here bareheaded.' >
That's why l like Boston," said the
daughter serenely. Its so intellectual
and unconventional. You can do just
as you like and nobody looks at you"
. And the rows of closed houses on
either hand, the three dreaming bench
occupants within half a mile and the
friend she addressed maintained a
conspiracy of silence in favor of this
naive admiration of Boston. - Boston

ADVICE FOR THIS DAY.
wives May not Like 1t. but it Is Good
Nevertheless

There is not a wife living who would
not resent being told that her wom-
AMY nature, her true self, was being
destroyed, undermined by too in
tense and absorbed devotion on. the
part Of her husband: that she was
daily losing womanly strength and
force and rapidly becoming a clog
and impeachment to her husbands nro-
greSS because of his indulgence. We
near great deal said about the selfish
ness of men, but unbiased observers
viii have to admit that a great proper
ton OF the SelhShneSS that ESCAPED
from Pandora's box found refuge in
the hearts of women.
Look about the world and see if
you do not find as many husbands
victims of a Wife'S nerves, headache
| or backache as you find wives sacri-
| feed to a husbands sins or weak
neSses. Mems acts of selfishness are
more apparent, as a usual thing; they
are more fragrant. Woman's selfish
ness is more insidious.
A husbands comfort is wholly de.
pendent on a wife. If she chooses
to revenge herself for any inattentior
or deprivation there are thousands OF
petty ways open to her thai man
would scorn to use. The writer calls
TO mind a pretty, girlish wife who
was excessively eXtravagant, and who
had a most devoted husband. Sitting
with party of ladies one day when
the subject of managing husbands was
under discussion, she shook a pretty
/ golden head, and with a merry laugh
said: II manage better than any OF
you; when Sammy don't do just as
want him l go to bed, and stay there
till he gives in" There was a burs
of protest, but the young woman went
on with perfect calmness: ''You know
last week you all thought l was i'll
/ wasn't. | wanted 500 for my sprins
suit and bonnet; Sammy would only
give me $50, but tell you he was
glad to give me the other $50 to ge
me up. I'd have stayed there unit
now if he had not" And she looked
around with an air of triumphan
pride. There are none worthy of al
honest love; but are there not wome1
who assume a cold, reserved, con
strained manner il they are deprived
of an indulgence or liberty, wome1
who resent, perhaps unconsciously
any control over actions or expendi
lures?

THE VALUE OF APPLES.


People who lead indoor lives have
VIGOROUSLY bad livers. Unless that
organ gets systematic shakings it be-
comes sluggish, the skin turn a green
ish yellow or blotches, the brain, hay
ing an impure blood supply, gets lazy,
and health declines. The Norsemen
called the apple food for the gods"
and used it to renew the strength Of
the body and mind. There is not
only lime, albumen, fbrin, acid and
water In the fruit, that the system
rapidly assimilates, but the large
amount Of phosphorus stimulates the
nerves. That's what the women who
stay at home and the people who are
tied to grindstones of factory and Of
flee life need-nerve food.

EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY.
And While Doing SO at Table Observe
These Rules.

Children should be taught to drink
as little as possible while eating.
Fruit is not to be bitten. 1t should
be peeled and cut with a fruit knife.
Never drum with the fingers upon

BETTER is a dinner of herbs where
love is than a stalled OK and hatred
Herewith"
No gentleman will ever place his
arms upon the table either before, dur
ing, or after the meal.
Meats are to be cut with a single
gliding movement of the knife, not by
converting it into a saw.
Keep the elbows always close to the
side, no matter how ample may be the
room before the guests.
! Never hurry the dinner Let every
thing come along promptly on time
and move steadily thereafter
Iced oysters or CLAIMS are to be eaten

Never sip it with an audible sound.
Never play with knife of fork OF
other table utensils; do not touch
/ them at all, except when about to use
them.
He lives longest and most safely
who at dinner and elsewhere turns
down his glasses and "tastes not the
cup"
If an accident of any kind should
occur during the dinner do not seem
to notice it-unless help may be quietly
given.
Do not forget that cheerfulness 'sug-
ssests good health, Il clear conscience
and a soul ct peace with all human
nature"

MRS. kendall AS A HOUSE.
KEEPER.

Mrs. Kendal's methods of house
keeping are worth hearing In every
room of her house hang a pencil and
slate. Once a day she makes a tour
of the entire house. Wherever she
finds anything wrong she writes her
complaints and orders on the slate
assigned to the particular room at
fault. The housemaid follows in her
mistress wake, and if she has any re-
plies to make, writes them also. This
saves all Earring, and nothing is for
gotten. As for the originality of the
idea, who could have conceived it ex-
cept Mrs. Kendall?
