hens. You know that
I see l should have said that the
paper lies on the table"
Certainly. And now. Edward, dear,
won't you tell me of some of my mis-
takes?'
We'll. let me see I heard you say TO
Mrs Trotter yesterday, I expect you had
a good time in Europe OF course you
know that the word expect carries with 1t
the idea of futurity, and should never be
used as reference to past events"
Then I heard you say I don't like
those kind of things"
"Oh, Edward! I didn't say that"
I beg your pordon but you did"
why. l couldn't"
But you did"
II don't believe a word Of it, and think
you are a real mean thing. So therer
Mrs. Burkham burst into tears and rushed
from the room, and that was the end of

Now that hat pins are selling for 81 900
downward the minds of inventive geniuses
are turning toward pin that will stay in
| the hat, past all. danger of falling out,
! says the Philadelphia Times. Recently
| there was patented a split that was pro-
| vided with little spring which worked by
| pressure.
very nice hat pin, with a head of am
| ber has an amber fastener accompanying
it and fastened by a gold cham. The
| fastener was stuck in the hat, so that
to lose the hat pin you must lose the hat
! also.
A very ultra little piece of jewelry is a
| band of pearls connected with the hat pin
! by gold chain. The pearl band is used
| as a brooch or as a pin upon the breast
! The gold chain bangles from the hat pin
! and makes a pretty bit of fncry for the
woman who likes "ixings." The band
may match the hat pin and be of any
! jewels or plain gold.
Any device is good so long as it holds
the pin, and when you reflect that every
! year there are hundreds of dollars lost in
hat pins the economy OF a little fastener
! is easily computed.
There is something so exquisiteiy dainty
! in a pure white silk petticoat that 1t is
small wonder every rousseau contains
one, and that they are especially favored
! for evening wear, says the St. Louis
! Giobe-Democrat. They may be deliberately
! plated, hounced and ruched with regal
effect, but the most refined women will
select those made like the muslin models
with gored top and deep Spanish fiounce,
with rows of point de Paris inserting let
| in between clusters of the tiniest tucks,
and having a full fall of the same lace
rather deep upon the broad fiounce and
! beautifully can be worn with a variety
! of outer shades, and are less expensive
than the proportionately less desirable
ones in color. An extremely pretty skirt
in this style costs about $3.50.
Miss CorreTlis advice on marriage is
summed up in the following terse para
graph:
Il want you to refuse to make your
bodies and souls the traffickable material
| of vulgar huckstering. 1 want you to give
yourselves ungrudgingly, fearlessly, with
out price or condition whatsoever, 20 the
| man you truly love, and abide by the re-
| suits. If love is love indeed, no regret can
| be possible.
Though mistress of numerous palaces,
| castles and country houses, Queen Victo-
ria keeps wonderfully close track of ali
her household belongings, showing sound
| business capacity and a memory for de-
tail which has served her wen as a royal
ru9er, says the Chicago Chronicle. OF
course, the daily housekeeping is attend
ed to by deputy, but none the less the head
of the establishment is IN the real sense
its mistress. As she pays well, she de-
| mands good service, though not above
overlooking trifes that do not partake OF
the nature of Sinking, which she cannot
tolerate. Like every good housekeeper, the
| Queen knows and remembers her valuable
| household possessions and is fully aware
of their individual merit and the places
where they ought to be kept. She does not
know them all, for they number thousands
but hundreds of them she does know, and
elaborate catalogues are kept of the rest
| furniture, bric-a-brac, china, glass, silver,
draperes and other furnishings-by her
order, in accordance with her IDEAS. Only
| q small proportion of her many hundred
| articles for table service are actually in
| ordinary use and she is in the habit OF
| lint nf
| plate and china a t Windsor castle.
But once, after talk with the German
| ambassador, who was visiting her, the
members of the Queens household were
| surprised on coming to the table TO be-
| hold strange china set before them, each
plate adorned with landscape paintings. 1t
soon appeared that, the ambassador having
mentioned in the morning that his birth
place was Furstenberg, the Queen had re-
called TO mind a service of china never
used, and for nine years put away ana
forgotten by everyone but herseff, which
had been manufactured there, and was de-
corated with painted scenes of the town
and its vicinity.
The question of when man may slap
his wife came up for discussion before
Magistrate Iiealy of Flushing, L. l., last
week. and was settled for all time.
William Council was the prisoner. He
was accused of hitting Mrs Council in the
lace, and hitting her real hard"
Il bifTed her because she rides a wheei
and never comes home" said the prls-
orer "She rides off half the night, and l
never see her, although she is married to
10 me-"
THAT being the case, the prisoner is
discharged" said the judge.
A stunning belt pin has made its appear

irrepressible shirt-wast girl, says Phil
dephia exchange Ii is a strong pin re-
-embling a bar pin, and when secured
engthwise through the skirt and shirt

or silk belt TO pass through. 1t is impos-
5ible for the belt or skirt TO slip when held
