most anxious to see Mrs. Cleveland. Up
on inquiry she found that the only way
I'm which this could be accomplished was
to attend the public reception. This she
accordingly did; but when she found her
self in the procession composed of the
queer medley of people who usually at
tend these functions she was greatly en-
Iarrassed. Beside her in the line was IN
Old woman fresh from her stand in the
market, who had left a basket of produce
outside; in front was a cowboy from the
prairies in SLOUGH hat and top boots;
near by she saw an old woman flower
seller with her basket of half faded car
nations in her hand.
When at length she reached Mrs. Cleve-
land she said a few words of her distress
at being one of such a company. Airs.
Cleveland was all graciousness. IF you
viii tell me your name and address," she
said with one of her beWitching smiles,
Il will send you a card to my private re-
ception. You will find that pleasanter,
] think"
The visitor told her where she was stay
ing, and was much pleased at her pleas
ant reception; but it did not occur to her
as possible that the Presidents wife could
remember the card. What then was her
astonishment to receive the invitation the
next morning. When she attended the
private reception her cup of bliss was
quite full when Mrs. Cleveland recog-
1ized her and called her by name.
Loves Way
Why do l love you, sweetheart mine?
In sooth, I cannot say.
Love came to me so stealthily.
! never saw his way.
His gentle footsteps scarcely pressed
The pathway to my heart;
l only saw him standing there,
And knew he'd ne'er depart
How can tell what brought him when
/ know not how he came?
1 only knew, and bowed before
The magic of his name.
So many are more beautiful?
All, WELL perchance It's true;
SO many are much better, dear?
Sweet, no one else is your
Baltimore American
Il find that the older women grow the
more they love to be fiattered," quoth a
cynical old bachelor, land when they be-
come really passe you cannot lay il on
thick enough. They will swallow every
hing that is told to them. How it makes
me laugh to see the old beauX and fine la
dies bowling and Sinking and compl-
menting each other in the same strain
that they adopted when they were fresh
ana blooming twenty-five years ago, with
out apparently realizing that time has
played havoc with the wCmen's charms,
and that the manly proportions of the
youths have been changed into the ridicu-
lous figures and bald heads of advanced
middle age.
And yet a woman who has once been a.
beauty Will believe she is a beauty to her
dying day, and have heard these elderly
DANES discuss what is becoming as ca
gerly as group of debutantes Poor old
things! l cannot help thinking to myself
after all it is a merciful providence that
permits US to dance, as it were, on the edge
Of grave, and to feel the instinct of eter-
nal youth, Notwithstanding the incfeas-
ing decrepitude of our bodies!'
The Hindoo holy books forbid a woman
10 see dancing, hear music, wear Jewels
blacken her eyebrows, eat dainty food sit
at a window or view herself in a mirror
during the absence of her husband, and
allows him to divorce her if she has no
sons, Injuries his property, scolds him,
Quarrels with another woman, or pre-
sumes to eat before he has finished his
meal.
Mrs. Leslie Carter became pretty by
learning to hold up her chin. She has fea-
lures too pointed for beauty, but by lifting
her head a charming expression was given
her face Emma Eames rs another woman
who became beautiful by holding up her
head. Her nose is TOO big, her mouth too
SMALL and her face too hatchety for good
looks Nottce the LOveIiness az her nc
ture-that head raised, with the sweet
eteheral expression in the face. Most wo-
The chin up-not too high, but clear of the
collar.
The Princess of Wales insists in these
days of partings in wearing her hair to
Aer eyebrows. 1t is wig that Alexandra
wears but she realizes, like Bernhard,
mat she is too thin and pale to allow her
forehead to tell the tale of i'll health and
age. Alexandra dresses in grays, the col
or Of her eyes, but advises her plain
daughters to wear gray also. When dress

Silk petticoats are beautiful to behold
inns season, and something a little more
elegant and expensive than its immediate
companion is a white silk skirt trimmed
with deep accordion plated fiounce made
VI alternate rows of satin ribbon and lace
Insertion, with lace on the edge. One or
t"o deep dounces of plain silk, hemmed
ana Hnely plated, are very pretty and
less expensive than the ribbon and lace
An exchange tells q a method resorted
% by Indian mothers to keep babies from
crying. At the first attempt to cry on
que part of the infant the mother places
1sr hand over its mouth and pinches its
"1se so that IL cannot breathe. Natur-
o4y IL stops crying, and in an instant it
j. allowed to breathe freely again. This
t,peration, repeated persistently whenever
e!e haby begins a crying spell soon per-
SIaues the child that it is its own act
we EFFORT to cry-Which produces the I'M
I'M ortable choking fit. 1t soon decides
mat the game is not worth the candle
ana stops its walls
now ii is too much to expect the doting
-alIerlcan mother viii resort to this heroic
Measure to persuade her infant that cry
ulE Is superfluOus and unnecessary, but
"lu she, perhaps, see the moral in the
Sloceedings? Herbert Spencer points the
.4Aie IN his essay on education, when he
eaNlses parents to follow the methods of
lure IN their correction of their chill

a-u again his finger is burned Every
P Plle ne tries it the punishment is ready
