Better Than Our GRANDMOTHER.

The young woman of the present gener-
alton who ventures to have a headache or
''nerves'' is Immediately confronted by in
dignant critics with her grandmother. II
the grandmother Is living, the fact Of her
continued existence Is made to tell, and II
she sleeps with her fathers her grandohild
is confronted with her ghost the ghost is
endowed with as many excellencies al
those with whom Betsy Trotwood en-
dowed the niece who never was born.
And rs poor David Copperfleld was re-
preached with the virtues Of his imaginary
sister, so the granddaughter Of the period 10
reproached with the ghostly perfection Of
her grandmother, who never had head
ache--at least according to tradition-but
who, on the contrary, was model Of
physical perfection. When it comes to the
testimony of those who saw the grand
mother In flesh-that Is "another story"
The Able Robin, chaplain in Rocham-
beau's army during tho Revolution, wrote
of American women in 1883: "They ore
tall and we'll proportioned, their features
are generally regular, their compilations
are generally fair and without color. At
20 years Of age the women have no longer
the freshness Of youth. At 36 or 40 they
are wrinkled and deorepit.''

Tho Sunshiny Woman.

A man likes cheerful, optimistic wom-
an, though he may strive with all his
might to convert her to pessimism. Yet,
for all that, the ready made cynic in wom-
ans form shocks him.
However erroneous the idea, man re-
CARDS woman as "the sunlight of lfo'' and
expects her to drive away malarial mists
from his mind and shadows from his heart
by her warmth and light. Though she is
accomplished, talented and beautiful, she
will lose ground with thu opposite sex II
she is cynical or sad. Every man likes to
create his own pessimist; he does not wish
to find one.
As rule, men like an accomplished and
bright woman rather than talented one
and entertaining and amusing qualities
rather than markedly intellectual ones.-

Few women have had such . wide and
varied experience In unique occupation
as has Miss Virginia Pope, who has won
for herself, through her good taste and
originality In designing, a reputation as
ono Of the most competent show window
decorators in this country and oonse-
quently in the world.
Miss Pope has travelled extensively not
only in this country, but in Europe. She
WAS sent at one time to introduce Ameri-
can candies in London, and her unique
designs and fancy decorations wore rev.
citation to the Londoners
During her stay Miss Pope decorated
many tables for dinners and banquots for
the Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice,
Lady Brooke, Lady Gordon and others.
She was much sought after and cultivated,
and her presence at a dinner insured at
luast an artistic success.

There are many things to be taken into
consideration in ventilating a room for
sleeping hours. First Of all, it Is impor-
tant that the value of fresh air should be
recognized. But there are other things to
be considered. The physical condition of
the sleeper is one of the things to be dwelt
upon. All cannot bear the same amount
Of outer air or the same temperature.
II the admission of fresh air during the
night renders the sleeper uncomfortably
cold, its object Is defeated. TO obviate this,
light warm bed clothing is necessary. In
any case there must be no discomfort from
cold. 1t Is q well known fact that animals
must be warmly housed in order to thrive
in cold weather. and this Is true in even
greater measure OF human beings. Better
no night ventilation than the misery at
tending excessive cold. But it is possible
to combine warmth with fresh air, and
that is to be the end sought. Woman

do the ribbon work and arrange the flowers

Miss Pope IL an enthusiast over her
work. 1T Is really n work of art" she
says, land unless a person has certain
amount of tact ingenuity, an eye for color
and, most Of all, originality it is difficult
task to arrange tables again and again
with satisfactory results unless it is made
n study.
Tho hostess generally has her ideas In
regard to the flowers, etc. but, as rule
when tho affair is to be very elaborate
without regard to expense, she usually
consults some competent purveyor, who
takes it entirely into his hands.
Hours and often days are spent in pre-
pairing for the event, which is discussed
and looked forward to with much interest
by her patrons, although many pretty at
homo dinners are given without being
brought to public notice.
ut is necessary for the one who is in
trusted with the arrangement Of q dinner

any changes or e1igencies that may arise,

for them.

Woman In the East.


Tho degradation OF women among orr
entail people has gone on until 1t has
reached a degree not easy to be imagined
An old Arab proverb shows that it Is no
new thing. 1t declares, "The best son in
law is the grave" Mr.. Neil devotes sew
eral pages Of his book on Palestine to this
subject. You cannot, he says, insult a
Mosleyn moro than to ask after the health
of his wife.
II woman Is so much as mentioned in
conversation, even though she may be the
speakers own wife, politeness requires one
to add the words, May God elevate you"
that Is, above the contamination Of such
subject. The same expression Ia used
after tho mention Of q dog, donkey, q
pig or a shoe, oil of which are held vile
and unolean.
Nor is this feeling confined to tho Mo-
hammedans. DR.. Jessup tells how Greek
Christian in Tripoli cnme applying for
help to an American physician. Said be-:
"There is woman here who is ill., beg
your pardon for mentioning SO vile sub
jeot to your excellency."
"Who may 1t be?" inquired the Doctor.
MAY God elevate you, 1t is my WIFE"
DIR. Jessup also tells Of overhearlng the
following conversation between a Moham-
Inedan and Or. Van Dyok:
"Your excsllenoy must bv aware that
have sick man at my house. May God
grant you health! He has pain in his
back, headache and he will not eat"
"Has he any fever?'

noon.''
