The most popular woman 10 New
York society is Mrs. Paran Stevens.
The bellies and the beaux pour
into her willing ear the first breath OF
their betrothals, she is godmother
more times than any six women In New
York, and lucky is the debutante who
has Mrs. Stevens TO assist al her COM
ing-out party. She lives in the most q g.
lightful house on Fifth avenue and
Flfty-seventh street, just across from
Cornelius Vanderbilt.
1t is knows as the Mary Mason Jones
house, and the number and grandeur Of
the entertainments held in the magnlfi-
cent ballroom are worldfamors. Mrs.
Stevens is very rich woman, having
inherited q great fortune from her hus-
band. She has one daughter, Minnie,
who married the Hon. Arthur Paget.
She is always called Lady Paget by
courtesy, and she is as popular In Lon.
don, where she belongs 10 the Princess
of Wales's set, as her mother is in New
York and Newport.
Mrs. Stevens is always royalty enter
tanned in England and on the Con tinent,
and, in consequence. all OF the titled
folks who come across the seas present
themselves first to her, and she sees

TRAINING AND EFFICIENCY.
The Lack of Them Explains the Under

payment of Women.
Many deplOre that woman's work is
not Justly com pensate1. The real want
is on the other side, thinks the Phia-
delphia Times. Trained and capable
women can command good pay any
time, but they can seldom be found.
The pay is always ready-it Is the
trained workmen who are lacking. In
the common class OF industries,
where few days practice will
qualify any one for the place, poor pay
is the rule, and employers often fix
wages as low as they dare. But whero
skill is required and women put their
heart and mind and strength into their
work, they are likely TO be well paid.
When they learn to love their calling
and strive to make it one with them
selves, putting their personality into
it. making it as nearly perfect as posi-
BILE, they will be masters OF their Tor
tunes and destinies.
They are too much given TO half
heartedneSS in business. They do not
put their whole energy into 1t, but
rather treat il as thing they do not
expect TO bother with very long. They
don't try to learn everything about 1t
and improve their methods OF perform
ing it, but are contented with just
enough knowledge OF it to enable them
TO slip along and get paid for it, Per
haps deep down in their hearts they are
always longing TO get out Of H. and
looking for the prince who will carry
them away. That sort OF thought Is
sure TO bear slovenly and unhappy
fruit. 1t is giving a divided interest TO
their most i'm portant worldly interest
and thereby cripDling their financial
future"

MUsIC's SUNDAY EVENING HOME.
Every Sunday evening she entertains
a number Of guests at dinner, and after
ward there is gathering OF musicians,
artists, authors. society people, and just
whoever this independent woman
chooses to ask. This is the nearest ap-
proach to tbs famous French salons
that we Americans have.
Mrs. Stevens is very pleasing person
ely. She IL above medium height, with
a well-rounded figure, expressive gray
blue eyes and dark brown hair. She
does not look by many years the dlgnl-
ty OF having granddaughter nearly
fifteen. A day with Mrs. Stevens Is
equivalent TO a day with almost any
rich fashionable woman in New York,
the routine of their lives Is SO much the
same.
II Is a very pretty room In which she
opens her eyes to each new day. Inc
carpet is of rich dark red velvet,
matching in tone the color OF the cur
tains and the canopy over the massive
mahogany bedstead. The busting table
and the desk are of mahogany, and all
OF the articles used upon both are OF
Dresden china with a monogram OF
gold.
AT the stroke of 10 each morning her
French maid enters and announces that
Madam's bath Is ready. Slipping into
a robe de chambre of cashmere lined
with fur, she steps across the room into
the beautiful bathroom. Walls, ceiling
and floor are tiled with white marble,
and the porcelain tub has sprays and
showers, all of solid silver. Alter the
bath Mrs. Stevens has n vigorous mas
sage from the min BILE hands OF her maid,

length must be al least equal TO the

knife upon the sugar. DO not take it
of or scrape the cake. After the top is
well and evenly covered, draw the knife

Mistletoo Dinners.

Mistletoe or holly dinners are the
proper thing this week and next, and
some OF the lovelest effects can be pro-
duced with red lights and green shades
and mistletoe. A young lady who at
tended TO the entire arrangements for
such things aud provides everything
from A to II, has secured some beauti-
full mistletos and holly cards done in
water colors. The mistIetoe cards are
OF palest green hue, so that the waXy
white berry shows on them. The
lamps at holly dinner she is arrang-
ing are to have red silk shades yelled
in holly leaves. The menu holders are
sprays of natural holly, and the fat
table decorations are trails and mounds
of holly, among which are concealed
tiny white and red fairy lights.

Of Christian and upright men bring up
families TO do them honor. Ignorant,
Drawing mothers, dissipated fathers,
extreme poverty, fill the reform schools,
while the good home, though ever so
humble. performs the higher mission OF
turning out good citizens. Manners
and morals are taught at home more by
example than precept, and the best
type OF heavenly happiness is the hap
piness of perfect union and happy fami-
ly life In the home.
But Of all the nuisances in the world,
the spoiled child is about the worst.
The child that has always had its own
way and dominated everybody is no
more fitted TO have happy time in life
than the child ready for the reform
school. Nothing is good enough for 1t,

wanted to. You must not cross him,
