dinner. Dinner-giving is an art not ad-
hitting brief discussion. 1t is the most
pleasant phase of social life, the very luz
ury of hospitality. 1t is the occasion
where our best mental and social gifts
come into play; it's atmosphere is one
where acquaintance may ripen into

her social graces, wit, tact and intellect

pensiveness, of the excessive effort in
volved, it would be the most popular
form of entertaining.
At the regular home dinner there is
obviously no bar to the presence of the
accidental or formally invited guests,
since it costs us nothing but the impulse
to give pleasure. Why not let a few of
our friends without homes feel sure of
cordial reception whenever inclined to
join us at our evening meal? If on three
evenings out of every seven we had
guests it would make no difference in the
sum total of our yearly expenses, yet
whot delightful avenue of pleasure it
might yield.
Do not let us keep debit and credit
account, with misery exactness, in our
social affairs. We will naturally enter
tain those who entertain us, but let us be
lenient in oyerstepping such limitations
and also in giving two or more invita-
lions for one received, if conditions are
more favorable with us than with others.
In short, one way of getting the most

How to Obtain a Good Figure.

Systematic exercise can accomplish 50
much that it is Il marvel to one who has
enjoyed its benefits that it is not more
generally practiced. 1t is entirely I'M
physical culture. There are a few excr-
cises which, taken regularly and thor
oughly, will accomplish all that a system
would. The tendency is, however, to be
unsystematic in taking these exercises,
and thus lose their good effect 1t is
best to take them at night. In bedroom
slippers and loose gown, with no bands
to bind, no collar to rub, a girl is ready
for the exercise that will make her rest
as tranquil and sweet as a baby's. Every
muscle of the body is free to stretch, to
stlffen with effort, or to rest itself in
complete relaxation. =
Clubs, dumb-bells and other gymnastic
paraphernalia are unnecessary, and really
are more harmful than beneficial. Grasp
ing the bells enlarges the knuckles; the
friction of the clubs hardens the hands,
and as 1t is quite as easy to do without
them, they are better unused. After all
preparations for bed are made, even to
arranging the rather fiat and somewhat
hard pillow, stand before your glass and
begin your exercise. There is a
real delight in watching the strong, easy
movements of healthful woman. And
this ease and strength is within the reach

may be at least partially remedied, and it
requires only a little effort and persist

lack persistence. Instead of conscien-
tiously taking their exercise every day
they skip day when they are feeling
tired or lazy; then two or three days at a
time; and eventually they learn to for

fore YOU have used them, or your papers
and magazines before you get a chance
to look over them. These are 20 many
economies she permits herself ut your ex-s
pense. Then, If you happen to have the
misfortune to be staying in the same
house with her, she borroWs your stamps,
and your fine stationery, and you soon
come to know that if your perfume, or
any little belonging is missing, you can
hunt it up and locate it in her rooms.
You !are so .good-natured know you

Worst of all the borrowing fiends is the
one who borroWs your clothes. On the
slightest acquaintance she will presume
to borrow your new cape, or your picture
purchased at the expense of your entire
wardrobe. Lacking herself in the refine
ment and delicacy that make the thought
of borrowed plumage abhorrent, she can
never understand how ones clothes can
be so absolutely personal, one shudders
at the mere thought of putting on collar
that another has worn. Such women are
not consciously professional dead-beats,
but they are that in reality, and have
taken the surest and shortest cut to max
ing themselves terror in their little
world.
There is no earthly excuse for borrow
ing. 1t is simply bad habit, of which
every self-respecting woman should break
herself if she has contracted it. 1t is far
better, far more. dignifed and respectable
to do without things than it is to borrow
them.-New Orleans Picayune.

The Borrowing Habit,

Probably there is no other women SO
universally disliked and execrated as the
woman who has contracted the borrow
ing habit. We all know her. We have
all been her victims, for she has all times

Apparently she never provides herself
with any of the necessities Of life, how
ever much she may haunt, the Injuries

when you are forced to the conclusion
that her borrowing habit is nothing more

Renewing Burned Out Lamps,

1t is stated that an electrical firm in
this country has succeeded in making a
commercial success of q process for re-
newing burned-out lamps, which renders
possible the use of the old bulbs at very
slight expense. BY the new method the
turbed, the old flament being removed,
and the new one placed through a small
hole in the lamp bulb made by removing
the tip. The small hole is subsequently,
closed exactly in the same manner as in
the case of the new lamp. leaving nothing
to indicate in the finished repaired lamp
that IT had ever been opened. 1t Is stated
paired by this method, the tilament being
inserted through the small hole referred
to by skilsful twist Of the hande and Sc
cured in position by special carbon
paste. The black, deposit on the inside of
the bulb is removed by fitting the lamp to
holder, and revolving it in a gas fur
mace; while, Immediately following this
operation, a small glass tube is fused to
the opening made in the bulb, through
which the lamp is exhausted. When this
has been done and the last trace of air
and gas absorbed. a blow-pipe fame Is di-
rected upon the throat of the tube, which
is melted into "a point exactly in every
respect counterpart of the original lamp.

BE Tactful.


Economy in woman is generally pleas
ing to the husband. Hence it is we'll to
mention incidentally the prices of various
household supplies, as evidence of knowl-
edge of expenses. This should not be
done too frequently, as it may awaken
a spirit of inquiry, which may prove an
noying if carried too far. It is never
wise to inquire, Oh the other hand, into
the personal expenses of husband who
is being managed.
Creature comforts having been well
considered and supplied, the discreet man
ager will begin to mould the opinions and
direct the desires in the wished-for di-
rections. - <.
Contradiction is sheer folly. Never
contradict is motto emblazoned on
the creed of every successful woman
manager. The next step is to never lead
the husband to contradict. This is a
nice point. Definite statements are to
be avoided. It is doubly difficult to eff
feet a change if any decided stand has
been taken In this field tact and intui-
ton are invaluable Always lead the
husband to believe that the initiative,
the suggestive, comes from him. If this
can be effected the family will tread a
path of roses. ] If this condition is con-
tinually kept in mind it can, beyond
question, be finally accomplished. ~ a5 r

Gentility Passing Away.

A frankness that is almost brutal
seems to pass current in society for up-to-
date smartness, and the language that is
now used by certain fashionable people
among themselves is sometimes only a
little short of billingsgate, while '"swear
words" seem to have lost their awfulness
and are used almost as freely by women
as by men. 1t is curious how ''gentility''
both as a word and quality has dis
appeared. Fashionable people are dis
tinctly no longer "genteel." They may
on occasions be high bred, but the mine
ing propriety of the bellies and beaus of
yore has entirely disappeared. In a we'll
known society novel. written fifteen or
twenty years ago, which was presum-
ably correct delineation of the manners
and habits of the fashionable life of that
time, two heroines play their role One,
We're de We're. with the correct speech
and manners of her caste, and the other
a suddenly exalted bourgeoise, who goes
through the social fires of criticism and
experience before she energies true gold
from the ordeal. Oddly enough, today the
types might be reversed; it is the bour-
geoise who is ''high-toned'' and the We're
de We're who is a slangy hoyden.-New

HON. j. +. WILSON,.
Brief Sketch of the Democratic Nom

ing always been true to his clients and
