WORE HER FRIENDS DRESS.


The first girl had been owing the sec
ond girl good turn for nearly year
The second girl had invited the first
girl to attend lawn party at her
house, stay all night with her, and go
on a wheeling trip I'm the morning.
When they were dressing together on
the evening of the party the hostess
triumphantly announced that she had
new organdit frock for the occasion,
and that IL was as precisely like the
gown just laid out by her visitor as
could possibly be.
only mine has a pink slip for a
foundation and your slip is blue, isn't
it," she presently inquired.
mo" responded the visitor, who had
been looking troubled for n few mo-
ments, with happy smile, mine Is
pink too.
A moment later she invented an ex-
cuse 10 get the other girl from the conf
mon dressingroom for moment. and,
by the by. the hostess walled that her
foundation slip was nowhere to be
found. Hasty searching. anger, tears.
and the bitter donning OF an older gown

changed "reminiscences OF the affair the
visitor confessed her share in the In

before.

tion of the matter. that my slip had,

USE AND ABUSE OF BROOMS.
Good Care Should Be Taken to In.
sure WelI-Swept Floors.

The virtuous woman who, according
to Solomon, "looketh we'll to the ways
of her household" takes good care of
her brooms, as of her other belongings,
which in consequence last much longer
than do those of her less careful neigh
bors.
An old broom well kept will sweep
clean for a long time. In the first place,
have a broom pocket and keep your
broom therein. 1t will pay for its cost
many times in the saving before its life
of usefulness IL over. A broom not in
use should always be kept upside
down, so that the straws fall outward.
This keeps it in shape. In sweeping, use
first one side and then she other. If
you sweep always on the same side of
your broom Ii will soon grow one-sided
and have to be cast aside. When. how
ever, broom is not badly worn, only
mashed out of shape 1t can be straight
ened by WHITING, pulling into shape and
drying, bottom upward.
On sweeping day have a pailful of
warm suds, made by oissolving ta-
blespoonful of peariine IN pail two
thirds full OF warm water, and rinse
your broom off whenever IL he comes
dusty. A damp broom sweeps a dusty
surface much better than one which is

In pursuance of this idea clever
woman has patented a sweeper for such
floors. fashioned something like min
iature garden roller, with the cylinder
covered with canton flannel in several
thioknesses. Highly polished floors can
not be trea..~ too tenderly. When done
sweeping, pick up all the lint, etc., from
the straws of the broom and rinse 1t
before setting 1t away. 1t seems super
fiuous to say that separate brooms
should be kept for different purposes
that the kitchen broom should never
be used either for the pavement or for
upstairs, yet most servants must be
watched lest this De done.

misfortune. and will entreat that all
such may be left behind with the rub

FAnOUS ABBEY IN GERMANY.
Among Its rlonks Are Many Men
Who Bore High Titles of Nobility.

The Porprhas received in private au-
dience the able Of the famous abbey of
Benzon. at Seckau, in Germany, one cf
the best known and most celebrated
monasteries, especially because OF the
high standing OF the monks who are
gathered there. The able spoke separ-
ately and In detail of each of his de-
pendent brother monks, and Leo XIII.
heard with interest of their welfare.
The monks of the abbey include Prince
Philip of Hohenlohe. who has hidden a
definite adieu To the world; Father
Charles, under whose name is concealed
the identity of a brilliant ex-cavalry
officer belonging to an industrious
house; Prince Edward Schonburg- Har-
tenstein, Father Benedict; Father Sc
bartian, once a major in the Saxon ar
my, bearing the name of Baron Won
Ger; Father John, who was Baron Won
Drais, and ran away from the court of
Baden TO embrace this career: Father
Nicholas, who was Baron Won Sails
Soglio; Father Hildebrand. who before
assuming the cowl and gown was
brave captain, by name Count de
Memptinne. and many others too nu-
merous to mention.
The Abbey Seckau Is situated among
the mountains of Steiermark. In
thick, wild forest, and in thirty years
has brought together Benedictine
monks beonging TO the best known ia
miles celebrated for nobility or riches
or distinguished in the arts. This mon
astery, where the rules are most rig

years ago by two brothers, Maurus and
Placidus Wolter of Cologne. two learn
ed monks sent by Plus TX. to Prussia
to reorganize monasteries there, which
were degenerating. The pious Princess
Catherine of Hohenzollern offered them
the ancient abbey of Benzon to estab-

GROWTH OF MONAsTIC LIFE.
Figures to Show There Has Been
No Decline in These Orders.

A nom Catholic journal remarks on
the gradual falling off in the growth Of
monastic life, and the note of satisfac-
tion is unpleasant to hear. for we must
perceive how inaterlalistic is the trend
Of an age that fails in its proportion of
men and women capable of sacrificing
self and happiness for the love of God
and their fellow creatures. But that
the statement is justified by statistics
we doubt. The growth OF the Trappist
order alone, as shown by the reports
coming to public notice during the GEN.

the most severe and rigorous in the
church, it's severe fasts and perpetual
silence opposing the strongest trials OF
human nature; yet never has Its growth
