THE IDEAL HOSTESS.

Failure Often Lies In the Sins of Om's-
sion.
With the best intentions, and the
most hearty goodwill, one may fail of
imparting the desired flavor to hospi-
tallty. Like the poet, the ideal hostess
is undoubtedly born rather than made,
but she who aspires to such honors
must have both tact and salient; she
must study the situation like true
statesman, and adapt her course to it.
Failures lie oftenest in sins of onnis-
sion, perhaps at the very outset in
neglecting the wisdom of the old saw
which enjoins us to welcome the com
ing guest" In towns and cities lit is
usually quite possible to find con-
veyance from the station to the
home of your friend, but what
sense of relief and welcome it gives
one to find a bright face ready
with greeting, and have the respon-
sibility of bag and baggage at once
taken off your hands. We forgive a
good deal to our friends, but it GER
tainly dulls the edge of delight to be
received at the threshold by servants
whose mistress is out shopping, and to
wait in the parlor, weary and dusty,
until your hostess at last rushes in,
breathless and apologize.
1t requires a very sturdy quality OF
self-respect to come out undismayed
from the disorder of travel, and no one
enjoys being exhibited at her worst.
Therefore avoid the mistaken familiar
ity of taking your guest at once into
the bosom of the family, and usher her
directly to her room, which should in
itself breathe a welcome in the evil
dences that her comfort has been pro-
vided for.
The perfection of art is that nc
trace of the laborious processes should
appear in the finished product; the
perfection of style is that the polished
faultlessness which is the result of in
finite painstaking shall grow to be
spontaneous. And so the golden rule
of hospitality is that it must never
display evidence of effort, or that
moment it ceases to be enjoya BILE.

For moment Mr.. Carter was mo-

No "rhree Estates OF the Realm"

For all practical purposes there were
only two estates in the English parlia-
ment, lords and commons. Thus the
phrase of the three estates, which had
a meaning in France, became meaning
less in England. For centuries past
there has been no separate estate OF
the clergy; some of their highest mem
bers have belonged to the estate of the
lords and the rest to the estate of the
commons. Hence has arisen a common
but not unnatural misconception, as
old as the long parliament, as to the
meaning of the three estates. Men
constantly use those words as if they
meant the three elements among which
the legislative power is divided, king.
lords and commons. But an estate
means a rank, or order, or class OF men,
like the lords, the clergy or the COM
mons. The king is not an estate, be,
cause there is no class or order OF
kings, the king being one person alonk
by himself. The proper phrase is the
king and the three estates of the realm.
But in England, as l have already
shown, the phrase is meaningless, as
we have, in truth, two estates only

An Amphiblous Graft.

The only vessel of its kind in the
world was built at Christianstad. in
Sweden, in 1890. It could be propelled
on land by means of its own engines,
and was intended for the traffic on two
lakes close to Boras, which were sepa-
rated by strip of land. Rails were
laid between the two lakes, and the
steamer was to run itself across from
one lake to the other. When tried at
the works the vessel fulfilled the tests

horse power, and the boat could accom-
