Court etiquette, says the New York Sun
is fearful and a wonderful thing. II is
told that on one occasion when the lamp
in Queen Victcria's sitting room at Os-
borne was smoking her majesty appealed
to one of her ladies in waiting to lower
the wick a trihe. The lady appealed to
declined to recognize turning down a lamp
as one of her official duties. She passed
the information about the lamp to the next
lady in waiting, who told the third lady
and so it Travelled from attendant TO at
tendant while the moments fed and the
smoke continued TO ascend. Finally the
Queen rose herself and with her own hand
performed the act which her naughty at
tendants had felt was below their dignity.
This, if fact is interesting.
The finest lace handkerchief in the world
belongs to Queen Margarita. Ii is said
to be valued at about $4,000, a not exorbi-

artists have worked at it for about twenty
years. 1t is so delicate that il can be fold

One of the strange misapprehensions of
life under which men labor Is that women
enjoy buying their Easter bonnets. BY
common consent they seem to regard il as
a festive occasion, and TO view the trips
to the milliners as something in the nature
Of a picnic. So far from this being the
truth, IL Is a season of harassment and
tribulation, from which we generally
emerge with nervous proetrat ton and a
hat we don't like, and one Of the principal
reasons Easter Sunday always seems the
gladest time of all the glad new year Is
because we realize then that for wear
or woe, becoming or unbecoming, the bon
net In question Is settled. There can be
no more sending back 10 the store and ex-
changing feathers for flowers. or tulle for

My Greed.

My Creed
My creed is love, and love Is God;
In all the universe abroad
There is no other light
To guide the soul Alright.
But love, from out the depths of hate,
Lifts man up to a high estate,
Fits him for realms of bliss
Ere he departs from this;
And brings the blessed angels near.
With their rich gift of love, to cheer
And guide us in the way
That leads to perfect day.
1t brings sweet peace to all mankind,
And doth all men and angels bind
To God with links of gold
And so I firmly hold
That human souls can never need
more complex or larger creed;
For all below; above,
Are saved and kept by love.

In the year 1888, when Queen Margaret
reigned over Scotland this gracious lady
decreed that during her reign every maid
en- in her realm, whether of high or low
degree, should speak 10 the man she loved.
If the man were not betrothed already he
must either wed the maid or pay a heavy
fine. On the death of Queen Margaret the
women were urgent in their demands that
their strange privilege should be continued
To appease them an act of Parliament
was passed which made il lawful for maid
ems to do the proposing every fourth year
This is the reason why ladies are allowed
to propose in leap year.

The lady of the house" was not at
home, and when the neighbor came to ask
her to come to her house that afternoon
to see a beautiful flower that had Just come
into bloom, she thought it best to leave her
message with the maid who came to the
door. This maid, says the New York
Times, was kind, warm hearted creature.
not overburdened with intellect, but a good
and faithful servant. The afternoon of
that day was TO be her afternoon out, and
she knew that her mistress never went out
on that day, so she felt quite confident in
answering for her.
'She can't come this afternoon" she
answered the astonished caller; this Is my
afternoon out"
The neighbor departed much scandalized,
and when her friend finally did appear
that day after dinner to see the flower. she
had much TO say about the impudence of
servants. But the mistress of that maid
said nothing. The next week, however
the girl came to ask permission to go out
on special day for some special reason.
mo" said her mistress, II can't let you
go. Last week some one came to ask me
to go out for some special reason, and you
told her that it was your day out and 1
should not be able to CO."
Sure, Mrs. Blank" said the girl In
amazement, "I would have staid at home.
You needn't ever be afraid of asking me
to@stay when you want to go OUT
That was not exactly a tactful way of
saying that she would do anything for her
mistress, which she certainly would, and
that esteemed lady appreciated the humor
of the situation and said nothing further.
Those two unfortunate remarks would
have been quite sufficient reason for dis
missal in many households, but not in this.
The girl had not the slightest intention of
being impudent. She knew that on her
days out l always staid at home" said the
mistress, land she merely made what she
supposed was a perfectly straightforward
and natural statement when she said
could not go out that day. 1t was as in
nocent as if she said 1 would not be able
to go because l was out of town. She
only intended TO show that she would do
anything to please me when she said that
she would let me go out any time 1 liked.
You cannot expect tact and intellect in
simple, uneducated girl When you en-
gage a cultivated woman you expect more
of her. The girls motives were perfectly
honest and straightforward; she was in
the right though she might have express
ed herself differently. On her days out
only something of great Importance should
be allowed to prevent it. She is faithful
and warm-hearted l do not feel that
have any reason to complain. get what
l pay for and faithful service that money
will not buy"

And a wealth of golden hair
Crowned her head.

That would heart of flint beguile,

And he said
Hush! I held my breath to hear
All his tender words and dear.

This maid of the coming century is the

carried out to the letter, will make both
her and her band famous throughout the

Her career as a conductor does not start

April 1. 1884 she organized the Nellie Miles

Fashion ordains that long skirts be worn
and women must obey or perish forever in
the world. But the wise woman will find
it quite possible to have a skirt which
looks long without actually touching the
ground. She will find, too, that such a skirt
need not be. lifted high or pulled away to
one side In order to avoid being mudded
A little practice before long mirror would
soon show her how any particular skirt
feels when it is nicely lifted. Another cause
of the badly-held skirt is that very few
women know how to walk well. They most
ly have to lift their skirt high to avoid
contact with their muddy boots when the
foot is raised. They have never been taught
how to raise their feet properly. The sole
of the boot should never touch the skirt
nor does the properly lifted foot scatter
mud. A woman who walks well and wears
a skirt of the right length seldom dirties
either skirt or shoes, nor will she find it
needful to hold her skirt high or awkward
ly.

if il is short, of discrimination; If il is
