that there is in that country n district
which is wholly administered. and, for the

fifteen square miles in the province of
Smolenski. In the early spring all the
able bodied males emigrate in search Of

their wives and daughters to cultivate the
fields and manag local affairs generally

small beer, and cool numbers of ~piroghis,
or patties. This Adamless Eden is one Of
the most prosperous and best conducted
portions of the empire, and the czarina
takes a strong interest in its welfare.

AS To HER ACCOUNTS.
Three Cabalistic Letters Appeared
Often in a Woman's Ex-
pense List.

A famous evangelist told this story Of a
woman's way of keeping accounts the 9TH
er day. They had been married but a few
months and had begun in the right way,
determined to keep track of every penny
and to save a little II possible. He bought
l:er an expense book and told her how to
keep it and she faithfully scrawled her
accounts every evening, like the thrifty
housewife that she was. One evening the
young husband asked to see the book.
His wife beamed with pride as he glanced
at the red lines and the neat array Of fig
ures. Every few days this cabalistic sign

varied, but the initials were always the
same and they appeared with astonishing
regularity. The young husband was dis
turbed. My dear" he asked, who is
this G. K. W.. and why do YOU give him
or her SO much money!" Inc bride
laughed. why. that isn't anyone. Tom.'
she said. You see. at the end of every
week there Is always a certain sum for
which 1 can't account so l put down C.

Another bride. who began keeping ac-
counts soon after her marriage. made the

PROGRESSIVE KISSING.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Describes
the Three Degrees-Love's
Fin yOrffe PnEtime.

The accumulated knowledge of ages Is
sometimes revealed in a kiss; and one
might add that where wisdom is bliss 1t Is
folly to be ignorant.
Never to nave been kissed is never to
ave fully lived. Perhaps 1t Is a secret
consciousness of this which renders the I'M
kissed woman of earth SO bitter in their
denunciations of the love enli~ghtened-just
as the very poor denounce the very rich
as enemies to the world.
The kiss is not all sweet. 1t contains the
sting as well as the honey of the bee.
Loves fayorite pastime Is the progress
sive kiss.
When a man woos a woman he usually
begins his demonstration by kissing her
gloved hand-an innocent enough act,
surely.
But it does not long satisfy him! The
glove is in the way, and he longs to press
his lips to her soft f1esh-the white fingers
tirst-then the pink palm, and the blue
veined wrist.
her hand away, yet surely, it is not very
| wrong, she thinks.
After hat he begs to kiss her cheek
just one little touch of his lips to Its vel
to ask? And if one cheek is caressed. why
not the other? 1t is unfair to show favor
itism. Crossing from the left cheek to the
right. leads directly over loves own do
main-the lips, the home of kisses.
After a woman has given her lips to a
man she becomes either u great deal or
nothing to him. Unless she is a thorough
woman of the world or a great reader of
human nature she can never be sure which
result will ensue. 1t depends upon the
man, the situation and the kiss. He may
adore her. or despise her; believe in her, or
distrust her, cling to her always, or leave
her forever.
Marriages are made. and missed, by the
kiss. 1t Is the lasso which leads some men
to the altar, and it is the blade which
sewers the tie uniting others to their lady
loves.
Therefore, the game of the progressive
kiss is the most perilous of pastimes for
any save the woman on the eve OF her mar
riage, to indulge in.
There is a subtle psychological difference
in the temperament of man and woman,
which underlies the danger. He does not
| turn from her lips with the same sentiment
| with which she turns from his after the
kiss Is exchanged. She is excited by her
emotions, he is only irritated. To her it is
an epoch. the first ardent kiss she has
known. 70 him 1t is merely the latest. II
she has known others. she has the art OF
forgetting them utterly and believing the
experience to be new and this man differ
ent from all others. But he. on the con-
trary, classes her with a lot of other wom-
en- he has kissed. Until she gave him her
lips she seemed apart from and above them.
1t is wiser to be as the one
woman a man wishes he could have kissed
than to be forgotten among those he has
caressed.

Joking When on the Ragged Edge.

From the New York Tribune.
A man well known to many of the city
employees under the regime just ended,
dropped into one of the municipal offices
toward the close of last week to see wheth-
or any of his friends were still on deck.
Somewhat to his surprise, he found several
of them holding down chairs" as one of
them phrased it. and waiting for the time
to come when their services would be no
longer needed
so you are still holding the fort?" re-
marked the visitor TO one of the officials
who will soon be numbered among the
''eX's."
No was the answer: 1.-The fort is still.
holding us"
A few minutes later another public serv-
ant came in and gave the caller a hearty
greeting.
Well" said the latter, IT suppose you
are waiting for something to turn up"
THAT isn't Just the way / should put it."
replied the latest conner; sit seems to me
rather that we are waiting FOR some one
to turn US down."

Worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt.

One of the handsomest gowns that will

front is bordered with sable. The sleeves
of this dress are of changeable rose and
pink velvet. This same velvet Is used to
trim the skirt, which is nicely looped with
it in festoons-five deep-reaching all the
way around the skirt. Over the velvet there
is a yelling of chiffon caught with violets.
Natural flowers are fastened upon the
shoulders and In the hair. This dress was
made in this country and was designed by
the woman who will wear 1t. 1t is one Of
the richest and most expensive creations
that will be seen at the grand opera this
winter.
