1.-THE Touch of a Woman's Hand" is
the caption of an editorial in September
Ladies Home Journal" in which Edward
w. Box makes a plea for pleasant, bright
homes in which are manifested the evil
dences Of the wife's good taste and an
enthusiastic interest in her household:
zone reason why some men do not get
along better in this world" Mr.. Box con-
tends, sis because they have not the
proper stirnulant in their homes. Their
homes lack those little touches of refine
ment which bring the best out of them.
Neatness and taste are possible in the
poorest homes. Let a woman make that
atmosphere as dainty as her means allow,
and she will raise her husband 10 the
same standard. And as she elevates him
the effect is felt upon herself. her chill
dren, her home and her future. Some
men respond more slowly to the touch
of a woman's hand displayed in their
homes and upon their surroundings. The
task may seem hopeless to the wife at
times. But sooner or later the effect
will show itself. There Is something in
every man which responds to a higher
and gentler influence. Let his home be
rough and he will be rough. But infuse
into that home a softening touch. be it
ever so simple, and the man feels it even,
though he may not directly notice 1t. He
iinbibes it unconsciously. and its effect
Is sure upon him.
American women. above women of n
other nation, have the reputation of over
dressing. An Irish girl paying her first
visit to an American church asked If
they gave parties in America after

become educated to a proper style of dress.
but 1t should be so with all women.
Dress appropriately and you will lessen
your expense and increase the becoming
ness and style. Do not wear diamonds
or a lot of jewelry in the morning. Do not
wear a light or fancy own shopping, or
to church, which is only suitable for the
evening or a social function. Do not
have on a nice quiet gown to go down
town and spoil it by all the fancy lace
trimmed parasol or a much bedecked and
bedizened hat.
It is a mistake to believe that because
the Rothschilds are the richest people in
the world they continually revel in the
finest and most elaborate of clothes, and
that on small as well as on great occa-
sions the women are covered with dia-
monds and jewels, says a writer in an
exchange.

than Nine. James de Rothschild and her
daughter, Mile. Jeanne. When / had the
pleasure to cal on them last summer

Rothschild wore a very simple gown Of

simply trimmed with galloons of a darker
color. Their chief distinction lay in
their extreme affability. good manners
