In old days, says the New York Tribune,
when we had mastered Ollendorfs French
system, and could read our Telemarque
and Picciola without looking for every
other word in the dictionary, we consid-
cred that we were French scholars and
knew quite as much of the language as
was necessary for an accomplishment.
Now however, IL Is expected that our
daughters should chatter with all the ia
cility and grace of a Parisienne, and that
their accent should be faultlessly pure
1t Is not such an easy matter TO obtain
the cache of gay "Parree" without any
of the alloy. Parents VINO turn their chill
dren over to strangers to learn a language

1T is perfectly delightful to hear Minnie
and Meta talk French" exclaimed the
proud mamma of two up-to-dat9 little
girls. when l was in Paris I had a
nursery governess for them. She was
Parisienne to her finger tips, and invented
all sorts of the most charming entertain-
ments to amuse them-inViting her friends
In to play with them. The consequence
was they learned French thoroughly, ana
use all the idloms that are impossible to
teach in any other way. Why, l always
thought l knew the language fairly well
but when my girls get talking together
cannot understand half they say!
'Madamoiselle taught them elocution,
too, and they act little French charades
In a way that 1 think is quite wonderfui.
So altogether chic, you know"
Very chic, indeed" said the friend
when she saw one of their performances,
for she was better versed in Partisan ar
got than the mother, and was both shocked
and amused by the freedom of speech
which the little girls used In oil limo
cence, and to which their parent listened
without understanding the meaning.

He notes the ideal wife as one who can

An eaSy-going husband with a thick skin
may not mind a scolding wife, but such
men are in the minority. A sharp tongue
is more deadly to domestic peace than
fiirtatious ways. a husbands faults will
never be corrected by deuunciatlon, but
can usually be conquered by kindness ana
affection. The wife who wishes to hold
her husband should take the same interest
in him ana his affairs as she did before
marriage. The little endearments and
pleasantres of sweetheart days should
never be laid aside, because husbands miss
those things, even though they are too
proud TO seek the reason. That is why
so many married men fall Victims TO the

Stomachs are concerned. At all events,
mans stomach is one of his weak points,
and the wise woman reserves the whole
force of her attack upon his good nature
and generosity for this vulnerable spot. I
know a wife who never asked a favor OF
her husband in the score of years of her
welded life or told him a bit of disa-'
greeable news before fortifying herself
with a dinner In which his favorite viands
figured. After that dinner he could re-
ceive anything with calmness and peace
and she said that she could not recall to
memory an ungratlfled wish. There's an
example for you.

A novel idea for a luncheon was recent
ly evolved in Philadelphia by Penryn STAN
laws, an artist. They say that 1t is to be
widely copied, and that next winter Stan
laws luncheons" win be all the rage
When the guests of this unique affair sat
down at the pretty table which had been
arranged for them they missed the usual
shining array that surrounds ones plate
In explanation, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, their host informed them that this
luncheon was to be forkless, knifeless,
spoonless; fingers were to serve in place of
all the table implements. With a good
deal of merriment the party fell upon the
little neck clans which were waiting for
them. The bivalves had already been

of lifting the sheels dalntily and tipping
them properly slipped out and down with
out the slightest necessity for the tiny
pronged fork which is generally considered
Indispensable.

their tails and managed with ease.
Then came chops, served zen papillotes,"
Bernhardt potatoes and asparagus. Most
of the guests confessed to cherishing in
secret the childish longing to eat chops by
taking them up by the bones, and every
body laughed att everybody else for the
desire. But they 1ail had a chance to

everyone asked during the course. The
answer came after the skeletons of the
birds had been removed.
Each guest was served with a plate on
which were three of four crisp, curly
leaves of lettuce, and by their side dab
of dressing. The host set an example for
action by rolling leaf of hisslettuce into
a small sylinder and dippingvit into the
dressing. This is the English fashion at
afternoon tea and 1t is really. not half
bad. Crackers and cheese came naturally
to the fingers, as also did the leaves and
almonds had decorated the table.
And then this queer luncheon concluded
with small tarts and coffee and candies
OF course, finger bowls played an i'm

served after every change of plates ex-

whole affair was crucial test of dainty

A COTTON MILL.

The following from the Weather
ford Democrat relative to establish
ing a cotton mill al Weatherford
applies with equal force and pro-
priety to Bryan:
II the proper steps are taken
there is no doubt in the minds Of
many that WeatherSord can organ
ize a company with sufficient home
capital to build a cotton mill.
In the present status Of the towns
growth and development some
thing of this kind is necessary to
be dore, if the property owners
and citizens of Weatherford are
DESTROYS Of keeping the town grow
ing.
If the people will get together
there is no reason at all why a cot
ton mill cannot be built and operat-
ed in Weatherford. Some people
get the mistaken idea in their heads
that it is necessary to induce out
side capital to come in and erect
plants Of this kind.
There are people and money
enough in Weatherford TO organize
a stock company with ample home
capital at hand to build the mill,
and all that is necessary is TO make
the right kind Of a move and gel
the people interested.
A cotton mill cannot be built il
a day, but it will take persistent
push and agitation to get the mat
ter in a tangible shape and it il
necessary that the people take thr
matter under Adyisement and dis
cuss it among themselves.
There are lots of much smalle
towns than Weatherford whicl
