The Dressing Table.

No dressing table is complete without
nail scissors, shoehorn and button hook.
These little articles are required daily and
should always be kept on the dressing tn
BILE. Many u rush and scramble would be
avoided If button hook and scissors were
always in their places and ready for use.
A clothes brush, too, should find place
A hand glass also is necessary to see the
back of the head when the hair is dressed
A pretty adjunct to the dressing table is
the hand glass made with folding handle
to stand.
Dust should never DO allowed to acou-
mulate on anything on dressing table,
and If the brushes, etc., have any silver
on them a little leather should be kept
handy, and they should DO rubbed bright
every day. shere should be place for ev-
erything, and everything should be in its
place. If order and neatness reign on n
woman's dressing table, her daily toilet
will be speedily and satisfactorily accom-
plished, whereas her untidy sister will
spend more than half her time In fruitless
searches after missing articles.

Lord Alvanley's wit.

He followed Sheridan and Brummel as
sayer of good things, but those most
generally quoted have touch of sarcastic
malice, for cynical talk was n fashion of
the time. When Brummel made his mid
night fitting to Boulogne at tho suit of
the Jews, ho remarked complacently /:
"Brummel has done quite right to be Off

kind hearted man and gave many proofs
of generosity to acquaintance i'm distress
One OF those he had assisted was the we'll
known Jack Talbot, reckless prodigal
who had repeatedly borrowed of him.
When Talbot was beggared and lying on
his deathbed, Alvanley met his doctor and
inquired about the invalid. The answer
was: My lord, fear he is in bad way.

have tapped him, DOCTOR" said Alvanley
coolly. II fear he has more claret than

man and the circumstances, was AIyap.

The Sundries.

1t is the sundries In household expenses
that bring the total up TO such giant
proportions, and IL is the moral sundries
that swell the gross amount till the over
looking world refuses To pass the leaf as
good, well Kept moral arithmetic. There
Is that bad habit of unpunctuality, of re-
Training 20 answer letters till too late, OF
delay in answering invitations, of break
ing an engagement already made without
good and valid reason why, of breaking
in on your companions words, and either
finishing the sentence for him or saying
something quite different; of not attend
ing to what is said to you, but letting
your eyes rove all round the room, plainly
showing that your ears are as inattentive
as your eyes are discursive; of fiat contra
diction, unsoftened by gentle manner or
"a polite regret; of talking during a meal
so that the food on your plate gets cold
while your polite listener comes in for the
same gastronomio penance of pumping
up enthusiasm which does not exist, of
turning everything into joke, whereat
the unhappy listener is expected TO laugh;
of making vile puns without point or wit
these and thousand other misdemeanors
of the same kind go down i'm this lump
sum of sundries, and tho lump sum is a
formidable one when tho whole is reckon
ed up.
In word, in morals, as in pecuniary
expenditure, that old advice to take care
of the pence and the pounds will take
care of themselves, y is about the wisest
that can be given. The small beginnings
of bad habits can be easily checked, but
once given time to root and flourish they
are difficult indeed to eradicate. And we
need not console ourselves by thinking
that the items are really too insignificant
to care about. Many "a pickle makes
mickle, and the item of sundries is like so
much conglomerate, or breccia-the indi-
vidual pieces small, but the TO mass
compactly welded marble. --Philadel-
phia Times.
