The Model Hostess.

To be a hostess that at once enjoys
entertaining and makes entertaining en-
joyable, there must not be an over
amount of worrying done. The truest
hospitality does not mean that which
overburdens the recipient with a sense
of his or her debt due for the honors
heaped upon them. 1t does not harass
the existence of the visitor by exclusive
zeal in the matter of excursions, fetes
and other features of social welcome,
but it calmly takes the outsider into the
enjoyment of home happiness, and when
something is especially prepared for the
strangers edification it is not done in
such an aggressive fashion that it comes
more like sword thrust than a sign Of
genial friendship.
The hostess who feels that fit of
nervous prOStratiOn is imminent as she
waves farewell to her departing guests
has much to learn in the true art of
entertaining. In the very poorest house
the visit Of friends should not be per-
mitted to become strain either upon the
nerves or the purse. The favor is on
the visitors side quite as largely as with
the visited. The considerate visitor
makes his or her presence JOY that is
sadly missed when the time of departure
arrives. The true hostess causes that
time to appear all too quickly. as her
unobtrusive cordially sets the visitor at
ease, and a week or month passes by
in true enjoyment that is not found in
a treadmill Of going, and which is far
more acceptable to the sensible visitor
the sort of one most delightful to enter
tain.
There can be no genuine satisfaction
in being dragged out to Mrs. BIS tea,
or to inspect some noted art collection,
when the body and brain both cry out
against the fatigue of such exertion. Let
the hostess take life easy, at the same
time permitting her guests the same priv
ilege, and entertaining will become much
more enjoyable and genuinely pleasant
than it is in many cases where a too
jealous woman wears out both herself
and her friends in her eagerness to give
them good time.-Philadelphia Times.

Are wives Mendicants ?

Said a bright club woman recent ":
ut is an open question whether some
men regard their wives as an employee,
whose services are given without salary,
or as mere mendicant That this is
not an extreme view is proven by the
fact that the marriage partnership is re-
garded in almost every Instance as diff
ferent from a business partnership,
whereas there are number of reasons
why one should be regarded in much
the same light as the other. A wonaan's
management of the home. her care of
the house and children, her subsection
to all the trials and annoyances of daily
domestic life, her solicitude for the thou
sand and one details that come under her
attention, these and many other things
may fairly be set off as u full business
equivalent for the husbands financial
support. Yet how few, comparatively,
can see it in that light. A clever South
ern woman whom / know in writing on
this subject. said: No man can possibly
understand how a sensitive woman
shrinks from asking for money. The
normal condition is for the wife to be
as hard worked at home as her husband
is in his Office, and in this case it is fair
to regard it as an equal partnership, in
which both partners have right to
share the profits, and there is no giving"
about it. If she keeps house she is at
least entitled to what you would pay a
housekeeper; if she does the duty of gov
erness let her have the compensation
of one; if she does the duty of a cook
she earns a cooks wages. Do not regard
all these economics simply as something
to be saved to the husbands pockets;
the saving has no place in his pocket
it belongs to that of his wife. You do
not expect anyone else to keep house or
teach for her board and lodging; then
why ask the wife to do it? If a penny
saved be as good as a penny earned, her
saving should count as earning. | am
satisfied that if there could come sud
den revelation OF all hearts we should
be astounded at the amount of soreness,
chatting and secret unhappiness which
exists beneath multitude of roofs in
the hearts of seemingly happy wives,
and which could be instantly removed
by the certainty of even small income
which they could call their own. Either
a wife should be in the domestic estab-
lishment recognized partner, with all
the rights of a partner, Or she should
be salaried officer, with the rights
which that implies. In no case should
she be a mendicant. A just partner
ship between man and wife, and recOg-
milton of equal financial rights, would do
away with this continual and unjust hui
initiation endured by wives, who undergo
this perpetual ordeal of asking their
husbands for money"

never more peaceful than now, and was
the government wise in adiourning Tor
six months without expressing its inten-
tions in this mattcri
Mr.. Balfour said there did not appear
20 be any pressing anxiety to bring for
ward Irish land legislation before the next
session 1t must be dealt with then.
John Dillon said he feared TINT the ON
nous silcnce of the government would
undo the life work of Pnrnen, who brought
the Irish people TO believe that homo rule
could be won on the floor OF chat house.
Mr. Balfour chief secretary for Ireland,
recognized Mr.. Redmond's moderate tone,
but reminded him of the great difference
between the state OF things now and in
1856. His reports showed that the har-
vests were good in every district of Ire
land, and that there was no heavy fail in
prices in the last two years. Therefore
the land question was not urgent.
Regarding the massacros of missionaries
at kuchong, Lord Salisbury said There
is every reason to believe that the Chinese
government is sincerely DESTROYS of pun
ishing the perpetrators Of the outrage and
those who connved at it. Should any
lukewarmncss become discerniblc, it will
become our duty to supply its defect. With
respect to Armenia, We have accepted the
policy which our predecessors initiated,

SYMPATHY FOR MARIA.
Governor Morton Flooded with Letter
Asking Tor Mercy.

Asking Tor Mercy.
ALBANY, Aug. l0.-Numerou letters and
petitions, some sent by telegraph, continue
to arrive at the executive chamber inyok
ing the clemency Of the governor in be-
h alf Of Maria Barberi.
Colonel Cole the governors private sec
rotary, says that the lack of knowledge
revealed in these letters regarding the real
facts of the tragedy, the prisoners mo-
tiyes, her age and social condition are as
tonishing. All that is apparent is a craze
pervading the whole country from Cape
Cod to the Golden Gate in behalf Of the
prisoner. Last night after he had retired
he was aroused by the receipt Of tele-
gram from Fresno, Cal, addressed TO the
governor and saying, We implore You to
pardon the unhappy child, Maria Bar
bori. This message was signed "The
Fresno Woman's Equal Suffrage Club"
Although the notice Of appeal acts as a
stay, thousands Of people are still excited
by the fear that Maria is to be executed
during tho coming week, and a large
number of the writer's of letters to Gov
ernor Morton are of the belief that tho
condemned woman is "a child only 10 years
old. Many Of the letters are devoted 20
extolling tho prisoners course as a self
avenger reviling her victim and harshly
criticising the judge before whom she was
tried
