rhs Philosophy Of Gowns.


Lillian Bell discusses The Philosophy
Of Clothes" most Interestingly IN Ladies'
Home Journal She declares that there is
a hollowness about having a man praise
your gowns when you know he doesn't
know what he is talking about. When q
man praises your clothes, he IS always
praising you ia them. You never will
hear a man praise even the good dressing
Of a woman whom be dislikes. But girls
who positively hate another girl often will
add, but she certainly does know how to
dress
And SO the experienced woman wears
her expensive clothes for other women
and produces her effects for men. She
wears scarlet on a cold OF raw day, and
the eyes Of the men light up when they see
her. 1t makes her look cheerful and
bright and warm. She wears gray when
she wants to look demure. Let man be-
ware Of a woman in silver gray. She
looks so quiet and dovelike and gentle that
she has disarmed him before she has spoken
one word, and he will snuggle down beside
her and let her turn his mind and his
pocket wrong side out. A woman couldn't
look designing In light gray If she tried.
He dotes upon the girl In pale blue. Pale
blue naturally suggests to his mind the
sort Of girl who can wear it, which is gen.
orally blond with soft, fluffy hair, fair
skin and blue eyes-appealing, trustful,
baby blue eyes.

Conversation at Home.

Good men and men Of ability have oe-
casionally said things which throw food
Of light upon some Of the difficulties Of
married people. Paley once said to Wilber-
force, sWho ever talks to his wifeF' The
philanthropist at the time was much
shocked at fiippancy such as this on the
part of the author Of s'The Evidences Of
Christianity, but after week spent in
the gay world of London, dining with
Nine. de Stael and sharpening his wits By
contact with gifted and intellectual people,
he records in his diary the resolution to
deny himself such stimulus in the future
lest 1t might prove hurtful to his content
ment in domestic life. Now we believe
that if the great antislavery apostle had
exerted himself TO entertain Mrs WILDER
force, if husbands generally were to talk q
little more upon subjects Of wide interest
at home and were to force conversation on
other lines than those Of physical ailments
and material wants, there would be no
such painful contrast or danger from ex-
oursions similar 20 those which the good
man made into the world Of vivid thought
and interest Indeed we half suspect in
the case of Mr.. Wilberforce, as certainly
in other instances, that in his eagerness to
please in London society be exhausted his
vitality to the point that he was complete
ly talked out and in consequence was dull
at home.-Happy Thought.

women,s Conferences.

Every place of small or medium size that
divides itself sharply on church or club 6r
social lines would do well TO have at least
one organization TO draw together women
Of opposing sects or sess IL devotion 10
some common aim and good. Such club
should be on such broad lines as to include
every respectable woman who wishes to
become a member, and with q merely
nominal membership fee. The meeting
may be held In the lecture rcsms or audi
toriums Of the different churches In the
place, and the subjects discussed be ethipaI
ones or current events. A paper on soma
subject, followed by discussion Of 1t open
to every member, may be the means OF
spreading sweetness and light" and syms
pathy and higher ideals Of living and
thinking through conmunity.
At one club, organized to unite a COM
munity which has been in existence seven
years, hospitality, tolerasion, personal re.
Igion, patriotism, dress reform, the train
ing of the children, the kindergarten, the
public schools, business relations and SAM
itary housekeeping have been among the
subjects discussed AS the list Of subjects
for each paper Is known at the beginning
of the seasons work each woman has an
opportunity TO find out what she really
does think in season for the discussion. -

For the benefit Of women with small
sums Of money to invest Mrs. Hetty
Green, who Is the richest woman jn Amer
lea, gave the following statement toa New
York World reporter:
s'T would advise any woman with $500
at her command to invest 1t In real estate.
She should buy the real estate at auction
on occasions when circumstances have
forced the sale. Il She Win Watch for
such an opportunity, It will SURELY oome
and she will fnd that she can buy parcel
of land at one-third It's appEaised value.
II regard real estate Investment as the
safest means Of investing idle money. It
does not always bring a steady interest,
but it is less likely to depreciate In value
than stocks, which are always somewhat
uncertain. A woman with tact and abil-
ity viii be on the alert to learn Of mort
gage about to be foreclosed In such cases
she should negotiate With the owner Of the
property and give him enough to clear his
debt, thus saving him the costs Of sale.
Many a woman has profted by an oppor-
tunity Of this kind.
"Of course, II a woman has $500 In cash
and wishes to speculate, she may branch
out more broadly and take greater risks,
with the prospect Of greater returns. But
she should bear In mind that real estate is
the collateral to be preferred to al others. /"

Why women Dress.

1t would be most difficult matter to
tell for what object women choose their
dresses. Some wiseacres say women dress
to excite the envy Of the less fortunate;
Others say to attract the attention Of men.
Harriet Prescott Spofford says, Women
are actuated only by their perceptions Of
the beautiful, y and this generous sentt-
ment fits the case of the large majority OF
women. There are few whose minds are
SO warped that they can enjoy nothing
which does not excite jealousy and envy
IN the hearts of others. But, taken as
whole, it is undoubtedly true that women
dress themselves for the mere love Of the
beautiful and because they have keen
sense of the fitness OF things. A few SEN
sibie women-o< are they sensibleS-dare
60 dress for neither man nor woman but
for health and comfortA But they are
more or less guys and not pleasant to sse.
Women acknowledgedly over 80 sometimes
dress to suit themselves.

The Housecleaning Habit.

Housecleaning is largely habit. The
thrifty housekeeper gets in the way Of
having general upheaval twice a year,
and she could not dispense with it, or she
thinks she couldn't. And yet some author
tiles declare that the periodical houseclean-
ing is an unnecessary inaiction. Their
plan is TO give one room cleaning every
week Thus, If there are seven rooms. each
room gets a renovation every seven weeks
and the house never has an opportunity to
become dirty enough to need troublesome
Overhauling.
Mirrors and looking glasses should be
cleaned every time a room is done. lit
tie spirits Of wine judiciously applied with
soft rag will remove the most. obstinate
marks. Picture frames and books, too,
should be we'll busted and the cupboard
shelves busted and refined with clean
paper PHILADELPHIA Times.

Green. white and yellow.

A charming scheme Of decoration for q
small dinner table, lighted By hanging
lamp, may be carried out as follows: A
green and white wicker basket wreathed
with trails of asparagus fern and smilax
and filed with white flowers and ferns and
sprays of ivy and herberis hangs from the
lamp, the handle being tied with bright
yellow satin aibbons. The table center is
of yellow brocade, cut in star shape and
bordered with narrow silver galloon. Trails
of smilax and fern, tied with bows OF yei-
low ribbon, are arranged round the dssssrs
dishes, and silver dishes containing saIsso
almonds and bonbons are placed at the
point Of the star shaped center. -Philadsa-

Dtscretion In Dress.

Everything that is attractive and effect
I've and can be copied at small expense is
sure to be copied sooner or later--it Ia
sooner, as a rule. The worst feature Of
the fine class goods is that they are SO
novel and noticeable that they, being so
very much en- evidence when worn, soon
become monotonous and bear their data.
yet are far too costly to be quickly dis
carded. 1t Is therefore better for those
who cannot afford a great variety of toilets
and costumes TO sacrifice their first desire
to purchase what would best suit their fine
tastes if they could afford to crafty them
and select less pronounced styles. The
quleter gown chosen may cost quite as
much as the more novel, more dainty one
discarded with sigh, but it can be worn
20 times and always look well where tha
gayer one could not be worn on more than
half a dozen occasions without being spe-
cially noted and remembered. .-Philadel-

Every girl should learn how TO take care
of fine glass and china. To save you from
learning from sad experience the informa-
tion is given that cut glass is scratched as
easily and badly as silver. Some of the
most difficult tableware TO keep clean ara

tea. A recent happy thought which proved
nnacically successful for an octagon cup
that had defed many attempts at cleaning
was to use a wooden toothpiok dampened

special hand woven toweling is sold for
