Mrs. Potter Palmer's Diary.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, who is femi-
nine Edison for inventing new and cap
tivating ideas, has been the one to re-
Vive interest in diary writing. To her
active and original mind it became evil
dent that if something was not done
the women of today would leave none
of those intimate, valuable and always
amusing documents of their lives and
thoughts and emotions to the genera
lions of the twentieth century. For is
it not by means of their letters and
diaries we know so much of our an
cestresses of the eighteenth cycle?
Acting on her own able initiative
Mrs. Palmer has for years kept diary
of life as she has known it. Great peo-
pie she has met and entertained, great
events as they have touched her ia
| terests, comments on the changing
fashions of dress, scraps of witty con-
versation, reflections on manners, crit
+ icisms of the popular books-ali have
! found a place in her diary, which faith
fully reflects the days and thoughts
of a great lady of 1900, and which can
not fail to deeply interest posterity
Her example is now being generally
! followed in society and to keep up her
diary is one of the daily tasks of the
! fashionable woman, though not all of
them exactly follow Mrs Palner's
! plan.
| For example, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish,
whose brilliant mots are repeated at
! dinner tables, is recording her exper-
fence in a set of letters dedicated to her
! great great grand-d daughter. Mrs. Goe-
| let is collecting in book all her most
interesting correspondence from all
parts of the world, copying down often
| her own clever, newsy replies to inter
esting epistles received, and Miss Hew-
EFT is preparing the autobiography of a
society woman from her own varied
and unfailingly interesting experiences
/ in society, in the arts, in philanthropy.
1 etc. Nobody but the authors of these
compilations knows what is in them
and they are put together not to posi-
| bly, ever see the light in print nor
come under public gaze, but to delight
and edify posterity in these ladies' fam
lilies and to be cherished as precious
heirlooms as we today hoard the diar-
les, letters and samplers of our grand
mothers. EMILY HOLT.

Declining An Obituary.

The Aroostook C8Ge.l Pioneer prints the
following story nf Indian sffrewdness:
Some river drivers were working on the
west branch of the Aroostook. The logs
had damned into a nasty snarl and no
one hankered for the Job of going out
with a cant-dug to start the key-l0g.
In the crew was an Indian noted for his
GOODNESS and skill. The boss finally looked
over in his direction.
'sCoot," he said, Ego and break that jam
and ri see that you get a nice puff In the
paper
The redskin looked at the logs and then
at the boss Dead IHjun look mice on
