The Hobson family seems to drop nat

Of course that does not entitle her to
undying fame, but it is interesting
when you consider the Merrimac Incl

While every ore shakes hands, not every
one knows tic etiquette Of the ceremony,
which changes fr6m season to season ac
cording to fashions latest caprice.
Friends OF course may shake hands as
often and in whatever manner it pleases
them best to do so. They MAJ grasp each
others hands heartily, hold them for a bit
if they Will, tEen release them with q cor
dial pressure. They may give the real old
fashioned s'p1Inp handle" shake or tho
high lateral movement that means moth
ing but that q simplcton is at one end OF
the other OF the shake, or they may give
the shake rotary. 1t is III the meeting of
strangers or mere a-cquaiutances that the
difficulty Of knowing just what is expected
arises. This, however, is what the latest
dictates of etiquette decree.
A hostess, ii Il true one, should shake
hands with any and every guest brought
to her house by friends. She should do SO
on their arrival and Oh their departure
and when she meets them again If she de-
sires to keep up tho acquaintance. When
a girl is introduced to q married woman
the older woman must always take the
initiative, and if she be good natured and
cordial a handshakee will follow. When
q man il introduced to a woman, he must
await her pleasure, unless he be a much
older man or one particularly distin-
guished. II one woman introduces her
husband or brother to another woman, it
would be natural-indeed almost impera-
tive-for the latter to shake hands with
him, out were be a mere acquaintance it
would be bad form to shake hands with
him on first introduction.
Regarding dinner guests, If a man is
introduced to a woman for the purpose of
taking her in to dinner she does not
shake hands with him, but merly bows.
Even at a second meeting bows only are
interchanged, and it depends entirely on
circumstances whether the acquaintance
ever ripens into a shaking hands one

WOMAN AND HOME.
A Little Country Girl Who
Became a Persian Rug
Designer.

In one of the largest importing houses
in the city Is a young woman who does
nothing but design Persian rugs. Her
sketches are sent to Tabriz, Persia. There
the patient brown fingers of the ~orientals
weave the charming color scheme of this
American girl into the rug of such won
drous beauty that when it comes to OUT
shores we view it enthusiastically and cry,
"None but the eastern artists understand
the harmony of colors."

call an artistic rug-ons with mellow col
ors blending into each other with exqui-
site softness,' this clever young girl ex-
planned to a reporter. 1.-THE oriental rugs
that are such dreams of beauty were made
In the long past centuries. The bare feet
of the pious Mussulman, hundreds Of
years of light and sunshine and an annual
washing besides have at last toned down
the harsh colors-faded them, in truth
and the result is that now these rugs Of
the years gone by are marvels of subdued
coloring. -

day as in the past, tying in with infinite
patience the bits of bright hued thread

Some garters are wonderful things.
The silk elastic has a frill of fine lace
sewed to the lower edge OF the stretched
elastic, and on the end near the buckles
are looped bows of baby ribbon. The
buckles are in many cases expensive
jewels. These are not so much for use
as ornaments, for nine women out OF
ten wear Ine regular elaStlC uUSc sup
p~orters, as elastic garters bind the limb
and compress the arteries and are thus
injurious to health.
While we are speaking of underwear
I will say that small bustles are worn
to an extent almost incredible. They
certainly do add to the grace of a slim
figure. There are dozens of styles, some
stuffed with horsehair, but the safest
are of fine woven wire, as they are not

about them all, since every manufac-
turer has a different line of designs.
There are a few with rundown collars
sewed to the waist, but the most of
them have the collar separate. All
have the shirt sleeve, with cuffs and
buttons. The favorite style just now
seems to be where there are clusters of
tucks both front and back. One new

The small pox scare published in
the papers of the state will probably
be worth thousands and thousands of
dollars to the medical fraternity, as it
will enable it to get in their work OF
poisoning the youth of the state with
vaccine matter taken from some putrid
sore from some bovine. 1t is of no
particular use as a preventative from
small pox, the majority of its victims
wherever it becomes epidemic being
of those who have been vaccinated.

CIV. Tyrrell has bought and ship
ped from Cresco 1858 bushels of wheat
nearly all of which came from the Ver-

as we know, in the past 10 years. The

vertisement was allowed to go un-
corrected, the word "competition" be-

referring TO the paints and oil, leaving
the people to infer that the Red Seal
lead was an inferior product, while
everyone knows it is the very best,
and the meaning DR.. Connolly in
tended to convey was that the H. and
M. paints, Douglas linseed oil and
Red Seal lead were the three best ar
ticles of their kind on the market.
