1t does not take a great while for a

is training school, in which the
husband and wife, from the nuptia'

of the wife that she will correct anC
eradicate these. Unless the hus

For Afternoon Functions.

To dress suitably for afternoon
teas is something of a problem, as
tailor gowns are hardly dressy
enough, and full dress, of course, is
not in order.
The cloth gown is just the thing
for these OCCASIONS, and though
tailor-made, must be made ornate
by panels, revers, Satin vests and
little fluffy touches to remove the
air of ultra utility that attaches to a
strictly tailor gown.
A great many reception gowns are
made oEsilk MORE poplin, says a
New York fashion letter. These
are much more elaborate in effect
than the cloth, but are not suitable
for street wear; they are too thin
and too conspicuous, but If one has
a carriage, are eminent1y suitable
A most noticeable one is of the new
weave of MORE poplin, very pale
shade of gray. The skirt is slashed
at one side from belt to hem, and
shows panel of pale orange satin
This Is trimmed on either side by a
full ruffie of gray chiffon edged with
deeper gray satin ribbon.
The waist is laid in three plaits
back and front, and hangs over the
belt like a blouse. There is wide
square yoke collar of the orange
satin covered with heavy white lace
and edged with chiffon ruffie to
match the skirt. The collar turns
away in revers, and shows a vest o
the satin embroidered in gold thread
and different cOlored stones. The
belt is of deep gray velvet, fastened
with jeweled buckle. With thi;
gown is worn a small toque mad,
with embroidered crown and trim
med with two white ostrich tips.

Hair-DressIng.

At present there is no particular,
or no strikingly particular, way of
dressing the hair for evening. That
we will have some particular mode
that will characterize the season
seems rather safe to assert, as fash
ion is seldom content without the
indulgence of a whimsey.
The Partisan hair dresser assures
me that the hair put high on the head,
being beyond dispute most dressy
and picturesque, will be The ap-
proved, in all it's variations Of loops
and puffs, throughout the season of
dinners, dances and theaters. But
it is whispered abroad that in the
immediate future the hair is to be
again worn down on the neck; this
| believe with a perfect faith, but at
tbegmoment there is no sign of such
everyone wears her hair
Ionthe top of her head, waving il
Slightly at the sides, turning it
back from the forehead, and deco
rating it during the, evening with
whatever jewels fortune, has be-
slowed upon her, or WITH whatever
flowers, feathers, orhOws' its want
may have rendered possible to her.

not know it, or they would live up
to it better. If you are really loving
hearted (not gushing or insipid), you
open out such broad scope for life
that others forget, and you forget
yourself, that you are plain.
If there is q mother to see you
live this beautiful life, she will be
prouder of you than she would be of
the fairest daughter whose face,
though beautiful, was written all
over with the marring lines of sell
fishness.

To Prepare Oatmeal for the Table.

Where hard coal is used for cook
ing purposes, oatmeal may be put
over the fire at six o'clock in the
evening, brought to boiling point,
and kept at this temperature over
night so that it may be ready to
serve in the morning. Where soft
coal, wood or gas is used for cook
ing purposes, it will be necessary
to put the oatmeal over the fire at
noon, when the luncheon or dinner
is being prepared. Put four heap
ing tablespoonful Of the steel-cut
oats into one quart OF cold water ;
add half a teaspoonful of salt, and
put it over the fire in double boil
err; cover, and cook continuously for
one or two hours. Then it may be
put aside until the night meal is
being prepared, and cooked again as
long as the fire is burning, and then
put aside to be reheated at break
fast time. The kettle should be COW
cred closely, and the oatmeal must
not be stirred from the beginning to
the end of the cooking, otherwise
the grains will be broken. Stirring
oatmeal seems to destroy its flavor.

Walk.
You have seen the woman who
jerks her head as she walks, / sup
pose? The habit is not uncommon,
and on close acquaintance you will
find that a woman so afflicted is
given to fickleness. She trif1es lit
tie too much with love, and is just
the woman to miss good husband
and be sorry afterwards.
The quiet man will never be
happy with the woman who digs
her heels into the pavement, and
scurries along as if she were run
ming a race. She is business-like,
and most likely the woman to sue
coed in trade affairs; but her man
ner is one of those simple things
