An Ideal Hostess.

Opinions differ as to what constitutes
an ideal hostess, but according to
number of society women who were
recently discussing the subject, here
are some of the Indispensable qualities
she must possess: She must make you
feel individually that you are the ia
yored guest. She must make you feel
perfectly at home. She must see every
thing, and yet possess the art OF SEEM
ing to see nothing. She must never
looked bored. She must know how to
keep conversation always going. She
must never let anyone be Sighted or
overlooked. She must know when to
ask THE amateur musician to display his
or her talents. She must be perfectly
unselfish about her own pleasures. She
must not neglect her guests, and at the
same time must not give them too much
of her society. She must remember
that nothing is so tiresome, so surely
death to all enjoyment. as the feeling
that one is being entertained. In a
word, the ideal hostess must. above
everything. possess patience.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.

his flock for $4,000. The other and

the remaining 400 in 4 sort of secluded

above the ground to be out of the reach
Of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the

His stay had been so prolonged that

WOMEN IN FRENCH FICTION.


DistOrted P0rtraitures by NOvelists
of French Wives and Mothers.
Those who have gathered their opin-
ions rs to the real character of the av.
erage Frenchwoman from the romantic
literature of the present century, more
especially that of the last few years,
would necessarily bear a severe judg.
ment, tinged with a considerable
amount of contempt. Such an opinion
would, however, be unjust and wholly
undeserved, as any impartial observer,
having been privileged to share French
home life, could truly tell them. The
average Englishwoman is very graph
ically depicted in English novels, and
foreigner can form fair estimate OF
her merits and dement's from the de-
scriptions of English domestic life pre-
scented by popular writer's. But it 10
not so in France or in French literature.
The real French gentlewoman deserves
to be better understood, for she is to-
tally unlike the heroines of modern nov
els, whose writers know about as much
of aristocratic life as the author of "The
Lady Flabella" in ''Nicholas Nickleby."
The pictures presented in Octave Feuil-
let's writings are perhaps the truest to
nature as it is seen in some melancholy
cases, but he himself certainly would
have been ready to admit that the wom-
en- he met in daily life had nothing in
common with his morbid heroines. AS
he belonged to good old family of
the upper bourgeoise, he had better op-
portunities of knowing the society
which he depicted so powerfully in his
novels of fashionable life than have the
upstarts who describe salons OF which
they have never crossed the threshold.
But even in the works of Fel'illet, al
though the frame is accurate, the por-
traits are those of exceptionally dis
cased minds. Women like Nine. De
Champallon in "Monsieur de Camors,'
or the dreadful Julia de Trecoeur may
exist in France or elsewhere, but those
who know French society will certainly
recognize more readily women like
Nine, de Camors and her charming
mother, or the Suzanne OF LA Clef
d'Or..' with the home of Sibylle and the
dear old people so delightfully."- de-
scribed there. Many examples might be
quoted equally sweet and pure among
the heroines of Feuillet's imprisoned
narratives, and one is convinced that
these have been more faithfully copied
from nature than the others.
The fact is that the great majority
of French noyelists belong to the bo-
hemia of literature, and are not admit
ted within the precincts either of aris-
tocratic circles or of the less refined,
but equally strict, bourgeoise homes:
They know only the borderland. peopled
In general by the wealthy and adven-
turous foreign set which budded and
expanded during the second empire
and has now taken it's place by the side

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
some Requirements That Will Ne
Found Indispensable.

some Requirements That Will Ne
Found Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE, is bread or biscuit. And to make the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes of
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outfitter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will
find a solid called mass or lotof spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such IL mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economizc with your stomach. For use
in such climate, and under the trying
| and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
| be the best and most useful. and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. 1t
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost a great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
cnce. Mr.. McQucsten, who is called "the
father of Alaska." after an experience
of years upon the trail. in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
1--WE find in Alaska that the Importance
of a proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestimated. A miner with a
can of bad baking powder is almost
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. 1t
is stronger, and carries further. but.
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region"
It is for the same reasons that the U.
S. Government in its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either on
board ship or in damp climates. and is
the most nightly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any of the trading com
panies in Alaska. but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder. for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.
