POsTOFFICE BILL PASSES.

Washington, March 20.-The house
passed the postof1ce appropriation bill
which has been under consideration
since Wednesday. The main points OF
attack were the appropriation of $780,
100000 for railway transportation OF
mails, with Sill 900 for special facili-
ties between New York and New Or
leans and $4,000 for special facilities
from Kansas City to Newton, Kan.
These items annually attract more or
less contest. This year the opposition
seemed to be less intense All efforts
to reduce the appropriation for railroad
transportation signally failed and the
vote on the southern mail subsidy was
n to SO against striking it out. BY
neat parliamentary manouevers the
opponents of the subsidy were pre-
vented from getting a direct vote on
the motion to recommit with instruc-
lions. The bill passed by a vote OF
119 to 81.

GRACEFUL WOMEN.

Observant and far-sighted persons
distinguish at great distances a man
from woman, not by dress, face, or
figure, but by movements.
The motions of the most graceful
of men are ungainly when compared
with the sinuous lines that most
women instinctively assume.
1t often happens that single mo-
ton of a distant figure, and especially
motion of the arms above the head,
will instantly determine for a trained
observer the sex of the person.
If anyone doubts this, let him note
the awkward, windmill-like perform
ance of a man arranging his hair, and
the graceful curves and deft touches

FEET OF THE FAIR.
Remember this, girls-a man may
not know the material of your gown,
or the shape of your hat, but he is
never mistaken about the look Of your
feet; and to win masculine favor, one
great stroke in that direction is al
ways to wear good-fitting and WELL
regulated shoes.

Mock jewels will flash on the spring

The spring neckties are gayer than

Many of the greatest troubles

How few women know how to hold

Is there anything more ugly than a
fur boa that has outlived its season

phasizes them.

like advertising that they are in the

Don't wipe away your teardrops
with a black glove unless you wish to

cOuntenance.
What a world of expression there is
in the glance one woman throws over
her shoulder to another and better

Assert your own freedom if you will,
but assert it modestly and quietly,
respecting others as you wish to be
respected yourself.
/ It is only the rogue who is detected

that defies exposure is commended in
modern civilized society.
Athletics tend to broaden the mind
as well as the body, and women who
patronize the sports without taking
any active part in them can possess

] A quiet, unobstrusive, but at the
same time, stern, dignity in a woman
is almost as much to be admired as
absolute purity of character. The
one is a companion virtue to the
other.
If woman is accused rightfully OF
any wrong doing by a man, she will
instantly fortify herself against con-
tinuing the unpleasantness by admon-
ishing her accuser to please not for

| AS soon as a woman is allowed to
realize that she is entirely independ
ent and can get along without the aid
of any man, she instantly asserts her
self, becomes the admiration Of
women and the opposite of men.
