Show me mans companions and
I'll tell you what manner of man he is,
is statement one often hears. But
show me the place where woman
lives and | can tell you her whole
nature. Thus lately declared recent
woman writer. Woman's talk may de-
ceive one, her eyes may look love from
a heart OF hate. her lips breathe
honeyed lies and her gown cover with
sumptuous and deceitful grace the
holows of her unlovely form, but l
can divine at the threshold Of her
living room whether | shall touch her
hand always or whether shall remain
forever apart from her. | can discern
whether she is stupid or sprightly,
deep or frivolous | have grown to
think of home atmosphere so much of
late that when any one begins TO praise
woman's wit or beauty my first ques-
ton is, 'Well, what sort of home does
she live in?'
want to know that before I can
judge whether she is the woman to
lead in social life or in public enter
prises at least in public enterprises
under aiken by women, because have
known some very brilliant and sue
cessful women whose minds ran toward
the pursuits men most care for, and
whose homes were unattractive.
The woman who leads among women,
mark my words, will have pretty
home She will have it because she
couldn't be the strong, real woman
that she is without attractive sur
roundings. They are part of her
nature, just as much as her clear skin
and bright eyes are a part of her
physique, or her laughter and pleasant
voice and ight-heartedness are quail
ties of her temperament.
The real woman may adorn palaces
or a cottage, for it is the way of put
ting things, the ingenuity of artistic
creation, the ability to combine colors
and decorations so that to each
separate article may be flattered by
the other into far more than it's worth,
or worthlessness, may be.
The real woman doesn't decorate her
rooms with handsome things because
they are expensive. nor with cheap
things because she found them on Il
bargain counter, and couldn't resist
them. Not bit of it.
With a plethoric purse she frequently
passes the latest expensive decorative
novelty to purchase something else
even higher in price, but something
that the ordinary shopper has not
taken to something too odd in colors,
too curious in design TO suit the
general taste, and with this kind of
expensive selections and with the in
expensive ones that really mean some
thing--odd sweet smelling Eastern
fans. cotton cloth dyed by hand, little
pictures reproduced from great ones,
chairs that are good to look at, but
oven better TO sit on, footstools that
suit the chairs. pillows that harmonize
with the couch draperies with these
she makes a nook for herself which
visitors enter with sense of peculiar
delight and surprise. Interest, charm,
thought, is in this pretty place-the
charm of that most courteous and
pleasing gift of Providence, a charm
ing woman.

Ladies' Home Journal Tor March.

Gen. Greely's article in March
Ladies' Homo journal upon 1.-THE Per-
sonal Sido Of Washington" will show
that Washington was largely influenced
by his environments, but also that he
steadily tended toward the higher stand
ards of the present age, especially as
regards his habits and ideals. OF the
first election in which he actively par
ticipated Gen. Greedy writes: :" In his
younger days Washington extended at
his first election the usaul post election
hospitality, which, in those days. con-
sisted in the minimum amount of food
with the maximum amount of spirits.
We find him paying AN account for
such an entertainment for some 400
voters, whore the account was three
shillings for food and 81 for LIQUORS.
The capacity of the average drinker
may, perhaps, be placed at three
quarts at sitting, as derived from
this account, which covered one hogs
head of punch, one barrel of punch, 40
gallon of punch, nine bowls of punch,
40 aallonss of wine and AZ gallons of
beer. Washington, who was not pres
ont. expressed his surprise at their
moderation, and wrote his agent that
he feared he had not been liberal
enough, and expressed the hope that he
had not neglected those who had voted
in the opposition.
His reflective mind and acute obser
walton soon noted the ravages made BY
drink, and doubtless confirmed that
personal moderation which never per.
mitted him TO run into excess of any
kind. In the Provincial army. when
general charges Of drunkenness were
made against the Virginia troops there
was no word against Washington per
sonally. He had, moreover, thus early
depiored 1t as serious vice, forbade
II by stringent orders, and applied 100
lashes TO every man found drunk. Still
later he wrote that Gin shops served
to ruin the proprietor and those who
make the most frequent application 10

Messrs. Hamhleton & Co., Baltimore,

circular 1851 of this date you say
No one can demand gold for silver
certificates, ana If gold is demanded
for silver dollars, it will he paid out 30
long as there ID one gold dollar re-
naming in the Treasury
Surely, this statement is incorrect.
The Treasury of the United States will
not exchange silver dollars for anything
except silver certificates, Silver dol
lars are not convertible into any form
of any other sort of paper or coin, ex-
cent possibly fractional coin. Don't
you find this to be 20 at the Sub
Treasury with you? The Treasury here
is most jealous in guarding what little
gold it has. What dacreditable state
of affairs it is, and how shamefully
have we been trifled with by the poll
ticians. Yours truly,

To which we replied;

Baltimore, Jan. ~, 1896. --
Washington, u. G. Dear Sir
Referring to your favor of January 18th,
we beg to thank you for your compli-
mentary remarks regarding our tinan-
cial circular. Silver dollars are full
legal tender, and are receivable up to
any amount for all purposes, except re-
demption of gold certificates. As the
government has undertaken to maintain
all of its legal tender promises to pay on
parity with gold, it is bound to redeem
silver legal tender dollars, on presenta-
ton, in gold. We have never heard the
question raised before, SO universally
is it accepted. Upon reflection, you
will, We think, realize that should the
government refuse to exchange gold for
silver dollars. the parity between gold
and silver would be at once broken,
and tho silver dollar would circulate
only at its bullion value. Again, il
the silver dollar is not redeemable in
gold, in what is il redeemablel Legal
tender currency? If 50. these notes are
redeemablc in gold So there you are.
We are very glad to receive such let
tiers as yours. A full discussion brings
out the nice points, and we hope,
paves the way for final settlement
Truly, il is a shame that the politicians
should be so unratriotic But, we have
great faith in the business interests of
the country, and believe ultimately
sound finance will prevail.
Yours very truly,
Hambletun a. Co.
Washington, ID. G., Jan. II, 1896 ~
Messrs. Hamhleton a. Co., Baltimore,
Md. Dear Sirs: have yours Of yea

lender nature Of standard silver dollars
Il quito correct; but while the govern
mcnt undertakes 10 maintain its legal
tender promises to pay on a par with
gold, it is neither bound, nor does it
Try, to do SO in the case of the silver
dollars The latter are final money
Of redemption, the government declin-
ing to exchange them for any other
form OF leeal-tender money, coin or
paper. They can be exchanged for sill
Yer certificates only. Nay, more, the
Treasury will not even issue transfer
checks as they do for notes unfit for
circulation under certain regulationsl

The authorities carefully block all
methods by which silver dollars might
be converted into either gold or legal!
tender paper.

ment on this subject, dated November,
