There is one wise, little woman who
declares she always keeps her COM
pany manners for her husband, to-
gether with her prettiest gowns. "If
1 must be cross and horrid and have
to do my hair up in kids to make it
tions for people whom do not care
SO much about pleasing. Of course
in time he will find out have not an
angelic disposition and also that my
fluffy hair was not bestowed upon me
by nature, but do not intend to en-
tighten him until am obliged to-"
Now isn't this sort of deceit prefer
able to the out and out bluntness that
makes woman feel privileged be-
cause she really owns man to show
him at once that his bargain is not
such wonder as he supposed? Hide
all the faults you can. They will creep
out soon enough. Wear a sunshiny
countenance, even though you are
worried to death. The world is much
kinder to the smiling woman than to
the careworn one. Assume an air of
prosperity, though you feel it not. In
fact, put the best foot forward every
time, and though you know yourself
of the old sEoe on the other one, keep
it out of sight, and the world, nine
times out of ten, will never see it,

Havana, Dec. 27-The citizens of
Havana read in their morning papers
an order from Capt. Gen. Castella-
nos PERMITTING the display of Cuban
and American flags inside the line of
Spanish Jurisdiction, and early this
morning the Stars and Stripes and the
lone star of Cuba foated over many
buildings in the heart of the city and
in streets where the Spanish still kept
guard. The only building excepted in
the order are the Government offices.
Havana therefore is now bright with
color, and fire. crackers are being ex-
ploded in the streets and on the
plazas.
Fear of the Spaniards disappeared
with the appearance of this order,
ly made by the women of the house
holds or clandestinely purchased from
adventurous pedlars. Flags original
" costing about four cents have been
selling for a dollar each. The order
of Capt. Gen. Castellanos was issued
after conference with Gen. Ludlow,
and it will be followed tonight by an
order closing the cafes at 10 p. m.
Gen. Ludlow rode around the city
late last night watching the temper of
the people in the streets.
Fourteen persons were wounded
yesterday by people who fired differ
ent kinds of weapons in the streets.
Major. General John r. Brooks,
military governor of Cuba, arrived
here from the United States, this
morning.
