The Account Was Wiped out.

A Missouri grocer yesterday received a
lesson IN keeping accounts. and he is now
ready to admit what he would never ad-
nit before-that bookkeeping is not mere
" waste of good clean paper, says the
San Francisco Post.
The grocer always kept his accounts af-
ter the fashion of the Chinese vegetable
peddler. who marks it on the side of
the house with a lead pencil and rubs Il
out with his sleeve when it is paid. A short
time ago he had occasion to sue one of his
customers on bill OF long standing The
defendant demanded a bill of particulars
Yesterday when the case came up in court
the grocer was compelled to admit that he
could not give an itenized account.

a paper sack.

1t is a curious fact, says a Washington
correspondent, that there are several wo-
men in that city who find a source of
qualification in advertising that they have
been Tilted by famous men. A former
sweetheart of John c. Calhoun is an in
mate of Louise Home. She has a ring
that he gave her. a lock of hair and
other mementoes of an early engagement
and she likes to tell the story of her love
affair.
Another woman here was once engaged
to James Buchanan, and might have been
mistress of the white house had she been
so inclined. She does not advertise the
fact, however, but the story is related
by her friends to explain the reason why
she prefers to remain a recluse rather
than occupy the social position which
her wealth and accomplishments would
command.
1t is curious to note how quickly a need
is supplied-the Bishop sleeve is not pref
ty without something underneath to fluff
1t out, so prestol the shops display corset
covers with big puffs, such as are seen
in Old-fashiOned Infants waists
The sensible girl has discarded her veil
for warm weather wear which materially
lessons her discomfort when the mer-
curry is climbing in the nineties, and gives
her skin a chance to acquire an early

The difference between a man and a
wOman's method of wearing a belt Is
curious evidence of the training and hab-
its of the two sexes. The girls is so tight
that her skirts perforce sag beneath it,
while that of the man is so loose that
/ his trousers ride up a couple of inches
| beyond it, and il seems to be worn as
a mere matter of ornamental ornament

Indiseriminate reading, says the New
ork Tribune, is one of the evils of the
Gay among young people. Girls especially,
used to be kept under the strictest sur
Veiance. An old-fashioned maiden would
never dream of commencing any book
without hrst asking her mothers permits
sion. We have changed all that how
ever, nowadays, and up-to-date young wo-
men read everything, see everything and
know everything while the austere inno-
IS now voted in society as slow and unin-
teresttng. This state of affairs IS not easy
to remedy. Although the bloom is neces-
sarily brushed off the peach by modern
laXness IN openly commenting upon the
strange views OF life, religion and morals
taught by the literature of the period and
by the publicity given to the mysteries and
tragedies OF the great city 1t is a wonder
that the younger generation are so little
anected as whole by thus eating of the
fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and
evil In some cases it may, of course. do
untold harm, but as to the pure all things
are pure, even so the majority of our girls
thank Cod touch the CRIME and soil of
life, and are not dehled. 1t is the insidious
inhsence that does the most harm, the
baleful novels, that are admired for their
bfilliancy, while they inst!ll the poison
OF unbelief and a lax morality, the tempt
er who by virtue of being a poet passes
unquestioned into many a home carrying
pollution into minds that are Clearly and
simple, that are responsible for so much
that is evil.
Tact in these latter days must be sub
stituted for old-time authority in the
household The coming generation will not
be cOerced, but it may be Influenced and
persuaded. Let parents, without apparent
surveillance, see to 1t that sensational
journals, common Illustrations and chief
of all, hurtful fiction and poetry, are not
brought into their homes

If one leaves in the shadow certain ev-

American woman is charming and almost
superior TO the majority Of European wo-
men. She is more amusing, more frank
more funny, and has infinite variety. she
is more serious, also. She likes noise ana
pleasure; chiffons and even love: she
likes children, too-but not TOO many Of
them. One may even say that she prefers
other peoples children; but she makes a
good, intelligent and affectonate mother.

Shirt waists this season, SAYS the New

ming as many other articles of dress and
quite as near perfection, perhaps, as it is
possible for them to reach The prettiest
of all are the silk ones, made exactly like

with white linen collars and cuffs are
very dainty, and those of fine ecru batiste

waists is seen IN the sleeves, where the
stripes run around instead of IN and

more marriages take place than in any
others. It is interesting, therefore, to note
tntt the choice Of white for wedding dress
es Is comparatively a modern fashion. The
Roman brides wore yellow. and in most
eastern countries pink is the bridal color.
During the middle ages and the renais-

our Plantagenet and Tudor Queens were
married In this vivid hue, which Is still
popular in parts Of Brittany, where the
bride Is usually dressed in crimson bro
