Love and poverty are deadly foes.
Regret is the weakness of imma-

The successful liar is generally a
successful lover.
At times sympathy becomes twin

Love, like justice, is certainly
blind. Witness how many ugly
men marry handsome wives, and
vice versa.
Love can make the boor O gentle
men, and the hog gentle, generous
being. But only before marriage,
remember.
The man who can fall down over
a banana skin and not swear has

A Social Problem.

a thoughtful woman remarked
the other day, "Now that the season
is over, it is borne in upon me that
afternoon teas are fast changing
friends into acquaintance and &C
quaintances into strangers. When
We only see our friends in their best
gowns, and in the society of others,
we have to nourish our interest and
affection upon what we have known
of them under the surface in times
past, and little by little we grow iu-
different and learn TO live without
them.
Our visiting lists naturally become
longer with the passing of the years
since one meets charming new peo-
pie, and one does not neglect old
friends, but the time between sun.
rise and sunset remains unchanged,
and the demands upon US increase as
our children grow older, our parents
more feeble, and our realization OF
the sscrednsss of life and opportuni-
ty more keen. Then at the end OF
the season we fiud that we have re-
ligiously paid the social mint, anise
and cumin," have called upon our
acquaintance on their days with
punctilious courtesy, but those for
whom We really care have been al
most crowded out OF our lives.
We all feel that the receptions
known as AFTERNOON teas'' leave
much to be desired. We receive
hurried greeting from our hostess,
who has only time perhaps to ask
some question showing personal in.
terest, when her attention is claimed
by the next conner, and our answer
is no longer of consequence. We
see familiar faces of friends here and
there, and hasten to exchange few
words with each, knowing that there
is no time for real conversation, and
that we have several other teas for
that same afternoon, and must not
stop too long.
We hurry out of the house, and
entering the carriage, sit bolt up
right, as though the relaxing of cur
muscles might retard our progress,
and alight at another house, where
is repeated the same scene that we
have just left. Upon our return
home we have pleasant sense of
having accomplished much in Check
ing Off goodly number Of social
obligations but To this feeling often
succeeds another that is self-gratula-
tory. We reflect that society fills
life with imaginary duties that our
best selves are dominated and stiaed
by its petty conventionslties that
our social intercourse is built upon
the trivial interests OF our lives, and
not upon that which can make US the
joys of friendship, or even bringing
real relaxation, or any better by de-
yeloping and ennobling our immor-
tai part.
True, society does no. pretend to
be moral teacher. 1t tells US how
to dress, how to behave, and accord
ing to the rigid traditional law of
uniformities, dictates how we must
endeavor to amuse ourselves and en-
terrain our friends; but why may
we not make our very respectable
bow to Dame Fashion and her satel-
lites, be careful not too fagrantly TO
outrage their sense Of what is t,but
claim for ourselves little time TO
enjoy each otherf

Our little baby or two months was padly
afflicted with Eczema. 1t began when che
was three weeks old, and in spite of all our
skill and that of two good physicians, she
continued to grow worse. Her head, arms,
neck, and limbs, and, in fact, nearly every
Joint in her body, were raw and bleeding when
we concluded to try CUTIcuRA REMEDIES.
The child being so small and delicate, we
began with CUTIcURA (ointment), and CUTI-
cURA SOAP. according to directions, and after
the first application zoe could see change.
When we had used the remedies one week
she was very much better, some of the sores
had healed entirely and had ceased to spread.
After using them for less than month, the
child was free from scales and blemishes, and
to-day has as lovely skin and hair as any
child. She was shown at the Grange Far
when four and half months ole, and took
the premium of a silver cup, as the rrettlcst
baby, over sixteen others. We recommend
