For those who like to reason,
You'll find, hope, a thought
And a word of soft persuasion
For those who don't and ought;
A laugh for all the merry ones,
And for the gloomy, Hope
A star to pierce the canopy
Who in the darkness grOpe;
A sigh for those who wish 1t,
A song for those who sing,
A prayer for those who love to pray
Whose hearts with praises ring;
Oh, yes! for everybody
| would the hours beguilel
SO here's an earnest handshake,
And loving, happy smile!

A Plea for CON Maids y


am very glad that our talented
South Columbia correspondent
agrees with me on my remarks on
Now and Then" When she chooses
to let herself out on any subject, she
is equal to her gifted sister May b.,
and that is saying "a heap" But l
do not think just as she does when
she says that every woman will
marry, even if ''she Sinks | know
there are many girls who willmarry
just anything or anybody rather
than be called an "old maid,' and
there are others who will never
marry unless the right kind of a man
passes her way; and that leads me
to my "plea for ldmaids."
The period of life at which girl
hood ends and old-maidenhood be-
gins is very unsettled and discord-
ant. Misses of twenty are apt to
consider all their unmarried lady
friends who have passed their thir-
tieth year as absolutely old maids !;
those of 30 suppose the era begins at
about IS, and some women of so lose
no opportunity of indicating that
they are still girls, by which it is to
be assumed that old -maidism is post
poned indefinitely, at least in their
cases. But it is fair to suppose that
when a single woman has passed
her fortieth year she may be con-
sidered as standing, if not within
the gates, at least on the threshold
which divides youth from age. But
1t is also true that years have very
little to do with it. Some persons
appear to have been born old, while
others seem to have III them the
springs of perpetual youth, Ninon
de Il Enclos, who was belle at 80,
with scores of admiring knights at
her feet, kept in her heart as we'll as
in her face the freshness and spright-
illness of youth, and never grew old,
despite her crown of years. An old
young maid is most depressing
sight, while a young old maid, pro-
vided she does not affect infantile
skittishness, is quite the reverse.
1t is, and seems to have been since
the earliest years, the fashion to d.
rect the sings and arrows of ridi-
Guile and criticism al "old maids"
That grave injustice is often done
the sisterhood there can be no doubt.
Curiosity, the love of gossip, acrid-
ity and sourness of temper. and
numerous other undesirable quail
ties, are attributed to the theme,
often without the shadow of excuse.
The fits of temper and the habit of
tittle-tattle so often INDUCED in by
married women are forgiven, or not
thought of at all, while the same
failings IN the maidens of uncertain
years are set down to the acerbity
engendered by her life of single
blessedness. Now, l am not pre-
pared to say that undue interest in
the affairs of other people is not a
prevailing characteristic of old
maids. 1t would indeed be very re-
markable if it were not so, on the
principle that the mind is so consti-
tuted that it must be employed. The
married woman has, or is supposed
to have, duties that engross more or
less of her attention, while the
spinster has no such refuge. Be
that as it may, each one must ans
wer for her own faults and short
cOmings, and if she makes society
suffer for them, society will unre-
servedly mete out just punishment.
The old maid who atfirms that she
never wishes to marry, pronounces
the severest of satire against her

A full loose effect around the nape
of the neck is a conspicuous feature
in up-to-date dressing of the hair.
The hair is waved on a large iron to
make it stand out, arranged very
loosely, and the ends are coiled
quite high on the head. This
affords resting place for the hats
worn tilted over.the eyes.

A Vista of Fashion.

Several colors in one costume APP
pear to be the rule.
Well dressed women are wearing
more jewelry than they have in
many years. Women everywhere,
at home and abroad are wearing
long gold chains. To these chains
are attached watch lorgnette,
lOcket, or other convenient article. ,
A special feature OF the summer
fabrics is the transparent effect.
The belt buckles and clasps
enamelled in dull reds, blue, and
green, defy description.
Leather belts are embroidered
with gold and silver beads, and
white kid belts, set with enamel
traced with gold, are the latest
fancy.
Tulle and chiffon, with satin
edge, are sold by the hundred yards
for neck ruches and frilling on
capes, parasols, and gowns.
Rocco enamelled hairpins, set
with jewels, assist in modern hair
dressing.
Vandye collars of ecru and white
batiste, trimmed with lace and in
sertion, are made to wear over their
summer gown.
Chatelaine bags of monkey skin,
with rose gliding clasps, have
numerous adherents.
A feature of the newest millinery
is an increasing harmony of colors.
Flower hats are still the rage, and
as the season advances the arti-
fetal ones simulate natures BIOS
SONS by being reasonable as well as
clever copies. Aigrets are large and
come in all colors. Fan shaped
ends of lace are arranged to give the
height effect. All hats are tilted
well over the eyes, and even bon
nets are worn well forward. This
requires a careful arrangemet of the
hair at the back. Jewelled quilts
are very effective and paradise
plumes are gaining in popularity.
Medium aged women wear low
crowned, medium sized brims, in
shades OF green straw trimmed with
pink roses and an abundance Of foli-
age.
The only noticeable change in out
line in the newest gowns is seen in
the sleeves, which are beginning to
follow the contour of the arms again.
The return of the balayeuse and the
rumor that the skirt of walking
dresses are to be shortened, are in
dications that the fulness is to be
diminished at no distant day.
Ruches of silk are now placed on
the inside of the handsome street
dresses, and evening gowns show
rutfies of lace and chiffon, as a
balayeuse, to keep the skirt out
from the bottom. White gowns are
being much worn for informal as
well as dressy occasions, and these
are properly accompanied by white
hats, shoes and parasols.
The newest skirts, many of them,
are trimmed some with fat bands
of velvet, silk or lace. Ruches of
all sorts are used for dress trim
mings, and they are made of lace,
net, chiffon, or silk, in various
widths to suit their purpose. Tiny
ruches of silk or lace outline the
skirt seams, and wider ruches trim
the bottom, finish the sleeve epau-
let's, and adorn many a little cape.
All the new blouses and bodices
are exceptionally attractive.

WOman's ReVeries

A woman's thoughts are varied as
are April days; full of sunshine and
happiness, or blue with failing
friendship, or rudely jolted by the
recollection of past social triumphs
that have ended in broken ties. A
woman thinks different from her
masculine opposite. The reyerie of
woman is like an April shower,
always followed by sunshine and
happiness. Friends and acquain-
tances are arrayed before her fancy
for comparison and review. They
are staunch and true, or deceitful
and Eighty. Time alone decides the
question of the honest frienship, and
the hours of thought and fancy in
women are so prone to indulge, pass
by and leave the hearts brighter or
sadder as the reflection may be di-
rected. In spite of all the jokes and
ridicule of the new woman, the
summer, girl and a hundred other
epitaphs heaped upon the fair sex,
woman is to-day-as she was hum
dred years acquire, good, noble,
elevating, and the friend without
which no man may expect the high
est congeniaiity and help. Their
ummer dreams will in the end con-
vince them that friends are friends,
and tried friend and true sympa-
thy is the most pleasant of all sum-
mer dreams. There is no one who
is quite friendless in this world but
those who have had friends by the
score are often wont to believe the
falling away of admirers or friends
in the trial is the exception that
proves the rule. When one stops to
think seriously of the matter, is
there not one friend who Is proven
true as steel, ready and willing to
become the subject of a summer
thought, and stand comparison to
the bitter end? Who has not that
friend?

Recipe for Beauty.

An Eastern firm has been adver-
Using that they would sell a recipe,
which was sure to produce a per-
sonal beauty, for twenty-five cents.
A young lady sent the money and
got full value in return as follows:
"Mind your mother and stay at
home at nights" The recipe, 1
think, is most valuable one to any
girl; and if the young lady, who re-
ceived it, uses it, she will become
beautiful in soul, which after all, is
the richest dover young lady can
have.

Hints for Housewives.
Chemists say it takes more than
twice as much sugar to sweeten
preserves and sauces if put in when
they begin to cook, as it does if the
sugar is added after the cooking is
done.
When baking cake, on removing
it from the oven place the tin con-
tanning the cake on damp lowell
for moment, and the cake may
readily be taken from the tin with
out sticking. Do not wash oil
cloths or linoleum in hot soapsuds.
Wash them with tepid water and
wipe with "A cloth dampened in
equal parts of cold milk and water.
A small piece of candle may be
made to burn all night by putting
finely powdered salt on it until it
reaches the black part Of the wick.
To prevent bruise from discolor-
ing apply Immediately, hot water,
or, if that is not at hand, moisten
some dry starch with cold water and
cover the bruised place.
To remove finger marks from var
nished furniture rub them with
cloth dampened with sweet oil. To
remove them from oiled furniture
use kerosene oil.
Don't spoil yonr pretty dishes by
letting them sizzle and soak in the
heat of the stove with meat and
eggs and things like that, for it is
entirely unnecessary. Have set
of plain dishes upon which to place
the things that must be kept warm
and use them for no other purpose.
Always have hot things hot and
cold things cold when brought to
the table. To heat china, pile the
plates and dishes in the dishpan and
pour boiling water over them, then
dry quickly and send to the table.
You will find that by doing this you
get the dishes as hot as though they
had been sizzling for an hour in a
Dutch oven.
Dissolve a tablespoon of turpen-
tine in two quarts of hot water and
use for washing glass dishes or
globes. 1t will give them a lustre.
The enterprising housewife of to-
day washes her windows with water
in which a little kerosene has been
poured, and finds that she can polish
them at once with her soft, lintless
cloth. Or she dips rag in alcohol
and then in whitening. She rubs
the glass with the mixture and pol
ishes with chamois.
To renovate leather chairs, wipe
the cushions with a slightly damp
cloth, and then rub dry. Next apply
the white of an egg beaten to a sti fl
froth and rub with soft cloth.

Dress and Looks.

A beautiful woman must know
how to put on her clothes or she
lOoses half her beauty. So many
women who have regular features,
good compilations and other essen
tials of beauty, entirely nullify
their good looks by wearing ugly,
shapeless clothes and colors which
do not suit them. 1t is all very
well for novelists and writer's of
short stories to say that the heroine
looked beautiful in a filmy white
garment, with a fresh rose in her
belt, but women know perfectly well

Selfish children are neither pleas

are selfish by nature, and unless we

life. Unselfshness is a lesson we
cannot teach too early.

that unless the sleeve of the filmy
white garment had been sufficiently
puffy, unless the skirt hung well,

the rosebud in her belt would have
