noble; that Sarah is princess, Susan a
lily that Anne, Phoebe Lucy and Clara
are In Specification the same, all standing
for light, brightness, shining purity. So
is Theodore, the gift of God. Dorothy has

tween the very thin layers of mere amuse-
ment in Juvenile magazines and general
literature. Mental moral and physical
improvement is so constantly thought of,
and the old fashioned notion Of sheer fun
is so slightingly regarded, that one may be
forgiven for wondering what will be the
end Of all this constant effort ut develop

nothing has ever marred the 45-year- old
friendship that has existed between her
and Susan B. Anthony There was one
time long ago, though, when It had a Sc
we're shock Bloomers were the innocent
cause.
Both Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony
believed In bloomers. They discussed the
matter seriously and decided that bloomers
were a rational form OF dress, conducive
TO good health. They further decided that
It was their duty To wear this costume and
try TO get others 10 do SO.
Each woman had bloomer suit made.
The two planned to don them on the same
day at Mrs. Stanton's house. At the APP
pointed time Mrs Stanton, who then lived
in the country, sent her carriage to meet
Miss Anthony at the station. Aunt Susan
had planned little surprise for Mrs. Stan
ton and had her boomers on, concealed by
her petticoats. Before she reached the
house she told the driver to let her out,
and she would walk up the hill. When
Mrs Stanton came to the door to greet her
friend, she was astonished to see her walk
ing up the hill in all the glory Of bloomers.
But instead of the praise which Miss
Anthony expected Mrs Stanton exclaimed,
my goodness, Susan, if l look like that
in bloomers, I'll never wear themp' Miss
Anthony's feelings were hurt by this re-
mark. So the compact to wear bloom ers
was declared off.

has turned his mind over again. Now he
really has discovered something TO which
women will listen. He says that mental

A Hairbrush Gaze.

One of the most useful Of homemade
presents is a satin case to protect the bris-
ties OF the silver backed hairbrush. 1t Is
very easy to make, the materials required
being few pieces of pasteboard and quar-
ter of a yard of fancy silk or satin. The
pasteboard is cut the same size and shape
as the back of the brush and neatly Gov
cred with the silk. A band as deep as the
bristles and long enough to go all around
the first piece Is also covered and joined to
the other so as to make box without a
lid The brush fits into this, the bristles
are protected from the dust, and the silver
back shows to great advantage. II the join
is too evident, as is frequently the case
with homemade articles, a bow may be
placed over 1t, but 1t must be tackled down
as smoothly as the bow on a mans hat,
the object being to avoid dust.

Germs In the Dustpan.

To those who know the true inwardness
of things the sight of housemaid brush
ing dusty carpet Is suggestive OF many
evils. The death of Pasteur reminded the
world of what is constantly present in the
thoughts of medical men-namely, that,
while micro organisms are the great pro-
duoers of disease dust is the great carrier
of micro organisms. Now that we know
these things 1t is distressing TO find how
little our knowledge is put to practical
use, and TO see old customs still unchanged,
old habits which we know TO be destruc-
tive carried on, and to find the housemaid
on her knees, with her brush and dustpan,
stirring up dust to the detriment of every
one and breathing germ laden particles TO
her own destruction. 1t needs but a small
amount OF common sense to sec that il
carpets must continue, thing greatly to
be deprecated, they should be rubbed with
damp cloth rather than brushed, and
that If, in Difference TO prejudice they
must be brushed, this should be done by a
covered American sweeper, with plenty OF
damp tea leaves.
OF all ways of removing dirt from car
pet the worst is by the use OF the ordinary
short brush which involves the housemaid
kneeling down in the midst OF the dust
which she SO needlessly creates and draw
ing it into her lungs with every breath.
For ordinary household use something
like linoleum, something which can be
washed with wet cloth every morning,
would seem TO be the best covering for
floors, but If carpets must be-and IL is
impossible to teach the present generation
the evils OF seeking present comfort at the
expense of future risks-at least let us re-
member that carpets may be washed even
where they lie; that till the day of wash
ing comes a closed sweeper is far better
than brush, and that the worst form of
brush is one with short handle.-British
