''I have shaken hands with one Of your presidents, said an English lady recently, chatting with a young Amer ican on her travels. My sister and were in Washington, and we heard that one could simply go to the White House, with 10 foFmaIities, and go in and shake hands with the president. and we thought we would do l. There was a crowd of people and we passed in in line, and shook hands and passed out again. It was very odd. Of course, we knew it was not an introduction Our friends wei@ quite angry.

 men.
 Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at home while their husbands roam else. where in search of entertainment if more wives realized that home should be something besides clean place to eat and sleep h, says the Gentle woman Men hate" women's tea par ties and large show functions. but they ike little dinner and supper parties. Many families refrain from entertain ing because they cannot do so on an expensive scale. It is, however, possl- ble to give small dinners and suppera that are both enjoyable and inexpen- sive. Ask people who either do or will like each other, and if you wish tha women to have good time have just as many men guests as women guests If the men are to have a good tune make sure that some of the women are pretty and fattering. Men like to be aattered. Oh. yes. they do One Of the surest ways to be awkward "in com pany" Is to try to act differently from ones accustomed manner. If ones everyday manner is not good enough for a company. then 1t should be changed, but the most deIightfu. com pany manner is the natural manner when 1t is natural to be charming. One of the charms of an agreeable manner Is to seem unaffected; another is to have something to say worth hearing, and to say 1t easily and interestingly; another is to listen appreciatiYely when others sneak.

 Something. although not strictly new, certainly worthy of notice, is painting upon lace for decorative and household purposes. Thea work is h imitation of old Cretan laees. which were made with colored threads. ar ranged as patterns upon black or white ground It is executed with water-cOlors, and can be used for sofa cushions and similar things, frills for old-looking portiers. to give them ths air of antiquity. or for dainty bed or couch dressing. The colors are made fast by the use of a fxative. and though they will not stand washing they will not spoil from atmospheric causes. T0 paint: Use Veloutine as a fixatlve; moist water-colors, with Chinese white of body colors, red sable brushes, and work upon lace of good designs. Stretch the lace and pin it down to drawing board, so that every part of 1t is quite secure. Select the colors to use, and where they are applied, and over every place that is to be painted lay wash of Chinese white and veloutine, pass that over parts already sized with the veloutine. and then paint the lace with bright colors in a set pattern. Metallic colors. such as gold. silver and bronze. can be applied in the same way to the lace. See that the colors are thorough ly absorbed into the lace, and remem Der the more broken and diversified the eoloring the better the effect

"Bin Blue of Number Two,s the en- gtueer who made a rhymed report of an aceldent-as told in a recent Com panion--reminds a correspondent of a freight conductor who dropped into poetry when his own train was in trouble. Number Eight" is the fast est east-bouud train on one of the great trunk lines. Nothing is more an nOying to the authorities of the road than to have this train delayed. eveD for five minutes, by inferior trains. But it happened that it was once de- tained for fifteen minutes at Friend ship, N. Y, Q little town on the Ale gheny division, by west-bound freight. The delay was, of course. re- ported by the conductor of Number Eight to the superintendent at HGr- nelIsville, and the superintendent. inn mediately teIegraphed the guilty freight conductor. asking why the flyer had been detained The freight conductor, wag with turn for rhyme. sent back the following re- ply:

A recent British consular report from the far east describes a suspen, sion bridge of 300 feet span made of bamboo. The cane is split up into fbers and twisted together to form the cables. Considering its span, the ma- terial of the structure is quite remark able. The old tradition that almost anything can be made out of bamboo receives here a good illustration in the field of engineering.

DOROTHY DREW.

 grandehild. whose loving companion- ship added so much to the happiness of his later years. is the subject of a very interesting sketch in The Young Woman. We learn from it that before aer 4th year her political views had become decidedly radical; to her mind the house of lords was a most repre- hensible institution, and the house of l commons was the maiastay of the na- tion. When the house of lords was spoken of in her presence as the up per house, she would retort: .You mean the house of commons!" She visited the latter during her Sd year. and for a time thought herself in church. The frequent rising and sit ting of the members soon undeceived her, however, and from these move ments and the oratorical gesticulatiOns of the speakers, she fancied herself in a gymnasium--an impression derived from q previous visit to such a place For some time after this the commons was @the place where granddad goes to do his 'nasties," or, on occasions. the place where granddad goes to do bis lessons
 Her visit to Queen Victoria was a momentous episode in her young life, and from the article above mentioned we quote the narrative of her delight fn1 experiences;
 Dorothy relates how she went down tde very long corridor to put on her 7ew white ffocH and her silk gloves. and how a grand servant all dressed in red came to sag that the queen was waiting sEAe Indian man whom the queen likes veIJ much" was at the door, and the next moment Dorothy stood before the great queen whom her grandpapa had served for sixty years, But Dorothy thought nothing of the Rastneas of the empire. or Of the length of the reign which all the world vas celebrating. 1t was nothing to her Ihat the kindly grag-hafred lady before Der was mistress ot oaa-quaFter Of the whole human race. To Dorothy she was just another woman like grand mamma, with white cap on her head: and Dorothy eourte8ied and kissed her and told her her name was aDorsie." that she called Mr. Gladstone grand oapa, that they all had pet names at the castle, and so on and so on. and many interesting pet names were re- Yealed on both sides. The queen put on her glasses and asked me to 70 to the other side of the room. SO that sha could see ne better Dorothy ex. plains and then she took a little teWel-ease and said, This fs for you. T. opened it and saw darling little brooch. with diamond Y and q aia- mond and 2 turquoise | and a little crown at the top made of red enamel I eourtesied and kissed her hand and said, Thank you very much She looked very nice and kind, and I liked her very much Then the queen kissed the little debutante again, and Doro- thy and her mother returned to town. "
 Kipling. who is numbered among the celebrities who have sought DDrothy'a acquaintance. tells an amusing story .7f their meeting. They had been in she grounds surrounding Hawarden for same time together. when Dorothy's mother appeared, saying:
 Now. Dorothy. l hope you have not oeen wearying Ms. Kipling. /" "Oh. no; aot bt9.' was the frankly uncouvsn- .lcnal reply. "Mr. KiplIng has been eearying me"
