Caused n Smile.

Up in the northern section of the city
there is certain household, the most
important member of which is bright
little, fair-haired, 3-year-old chap, whose
artless but pointed utterances form the
subjects for many laughs and much
neighborhood gossip. A short time since
the grandmother of the family had a
severe attack of the grip, which resulted
in complete prostration of the vocal
organs, and in the hearing of the little
fellow it was said that she had lost her
voice. That night, as he was being pre-
pared for bed, he took his place 1T his
mothers knee, and after dutifully repeat

that it is several degrees more unmusical

WOlnan'S Great Charm.

Since the world began woman has
been accused of vanity, and while adj
hitting that she does possess her share
of the not exclusively feminine failing,
the impartial observer must acknowledge
that, as a rule, even the most beautiful
women are dissatisfied with their own
appearance, The Statuesque woman,
petite, fluffy haired blonde while the
said blonde would give half her curls
for two inches of her Juno-likc sisters
height
But, after all, blue eyes or brown eyes.
Grecian nose or pug nose, what does 1t
matter? The charm of woman lies not
in beauty, but in individuality: if she
could but be brought to understand that
fact! 1t isn't the details that count;
her carriage. her manner. her voice, her
expression; in short. herself that makes
OF unmakcS her charm.
1t is the woman. then. that has the
courage to be herself who attracts. Orig
inalS arc so much more desirable than
copies, no ma liter how accurate the copy
may be. If it be natural to wear ones
do so. Nature is never mistaken. But
let the admiring sister, whom thai auto
crat intended to be Il tailor-maic girl,
beware Of that disordcr-in her it would
cease to be artistic: it would be simply
untidy. Let every woman dare to be
herself; develop her own individuality,
not hlindly copy some other woman,
whom, it may be. her husband happens
to admire. Let her think for herself,
act for herself. and express her own
honest opinions.
Individuality, when combined with
that nameless something called manner,
is the most potent weapon i'll the pos
session of the sex; it is this which has
given many homely woman q reputa-
ton for beauty which bona tidc beauty
with faultless face and features has
sighed in vain to attain.
Manner, magnetism-call it as we will,
and intangible, elusive as it isis yet

us hope. which will never become ex-

ChinaInan's Joke.

Speaking of humor," says gossipcr
in the Washington Post, ''most of us
fancy that it's thing the Chinese
haven't a sense of, but we're entirely in
the wrong. DR.. Macmillan, secretary
OF the Presbyterian board of home mis-
sions, told me the other day of China
man who actually perpetrated an Ancri-
can pun. 1t happened at the Universe
ty Of Montana, at Deer Lodge. The
punning fever was raging among the stu
dents and penetrated even to the kitchen,
where Ching Lee-or whatever his name
was--presided as cook. The housekeep-
or of the students boarding club went
into the kitchen one day. Ching Lee,
said she, you may cook some hominy
for supper. And the Chinaman, with

Not in America.

Elwyn 4. Barron. London correspond
cnt of the Chicago Times Herald, writes
from that city that Questionable young
gentlemen Of London are, without excep-
ton, the best-dressed men i'll the world.
Seen at dinner, reception or theater,
they present that faultlcss elegance of
toilet vuIgarly described as well
groomed Every article of dress fits
symmetricaly, and the whole is worn
with manner that only comes Of the
habitual practice of getting into even
ing dress" There is no doubt that Mr..
Barron is right. Nowhere in the world
can one see SO many well-groomed and
faultlessly-dressed men as in London,
whether it he in the evening, ut theatcr
or other gatherings, or in the afternoon
on Regent, Piccadilly or Bond streets:
But what most strikes the thoughtful
observer is how the London tailors, who
garb their countrymcn so well, succeed
so i'll with the anglomaniacal American.
There are a number of Americans who
have their clothes made in London, some
who go over there regularly and others
who send to have them made there, and
only about one in fifty of them is we'll
dressed. Some of them when they move
their heads in their coat collars look like
