WHY AMERICAN WOMEN LEAD.

TT HE American woman may not be
able TO boast the most regular fea-
lures, tie StatelieSt manners. or
sumptuous oriental grace. but far and
wide she has. ard deseryedly. tie repu-
tation of being the best-groomcd woman
in the world Married or unmarried, she
is apt to increase in style and .fascina t-e-l
with the passing of the years.
Being weu groomcd is not mere matter
of expense. II also implies a goodly amount
Of care and time.
The welI-grJo!nsd young woman always
looks neat in every detail ard is suitably
dressed for every occasion. CT hair has a
satin gloss, her boots and ring, nails also.
Her gloves are invariably fresh and well
fitting, and her bonnet and bat are ire
proachablc in style and finish.
The secret OF being perfectly groomed
lies in having the taste TO select becoming
wearing apparel. the knowledge OF when
and how to wear 1t, ard the willingness
to give much attention TO even the most
petty detail The well-groomed woman is
not exaggerated in style, for that is bad
taste, and her taste is always above re-
proach.

FAURE AND THE CHILDREN.

E%ELIX FAURE, president OF the French
Republic has made the hearts of many
OF the little girls OF his country beat
with JOY. 1t is one of his practices to de-
vote at least two mornings a week to visit
ing hospitals. His visits re not OF the hasty
order, but much the other way, as he spends
time passing through the different wards,
especially among the sick children. One
OF his favorite questions is to ask the little
unfortunates what he can do for them and
in case oflittlegirls the answer is Invariably
une poupee Ga doll). Then, with a kind
hearted smile, President Faure takes out his
pad and pencil and writes down the child's
desire. The next morning usually finds
several boxes of dolls at the hospital, all
of them very handsome. Ii is said that his
generosity has already cost him over 600
dolls since he has occupied the presidential
chair.

THs CONSIDERABLE HOSTESS.

" He secret Of being good hostess is in
\ hiding the fact that you are making
an effort TO please. The houses to
which you like best 10 go are those where
you feel at liberty To look over books and
portfolios, where the piano stands open,
aud there are easy chairs without elaborate
cushions. In preparing for an evening
party. if You expect TO have games which
Involve real play, put away delicate bric-a-
hrac, so that no guest shall have the mis-
furtune To spoil his evening aud yours by
an accident. Scatter picture books and
single views at thc sides OF the room for the
benefit OF those unfortunatCS, the wall
flowers There should always be a corner
set apart for those who do not dance, and
this should be large enough for a table at
which game may bc played comfortably.
Look after the shy girls and boys tbat is
one OF the CHIEF duties OF the hostess. It is
better TO try 10 bring them into the gen
eral sport than TO devote yourself to their
amusement.
