It is unfortunate ii people must tell
society white lies that they cannot learn to
do so artistically and with at least an APP
pearance of truth. One may be vel. GER
tain that a statement is not true and re-
ceive it without thought, but when it is
manifestly impossible, from the way the
white lie is delivered, that 1t should be
true under any circumstance it requires
some brazenness to receive it with due re-
spect and p~oliteness.
A woman went to call upon another
woman with whom she was but slightly
acquainted in reference to some charity
work in which they were both interested.
The maid took her card and carried it up
stairs, only to return in a few moments to
ask if the visitor would not call again in
two weeks, as her mistress was very i'll.
1.-THE doctor, he come already twice to-
day, the maid volunteered. She was a
rosy, healthy looking Swedish girl, and
she delivered her story Of the doctors hay
ing been to see her mistress twice that day
and that the visitor was to call sagain in
two weeks with such radiant cheerful
ness that it would have been impossible
to lave attached any seriousness to her
story. The maid may have volunteered
the most ridiculous part Of the story, but
the moral remains the same, and every
good housekeeper should teach her sery
ants to deliver the lie social in q plausi
BILE manner.-.New York. Times.

in court ONT years ago and who wcrt
when q certain portion Of the testimony
was reached. AS the critical moment APP
preached her eyes began to swim. They
seemed TO grow larger and darker, and
they took on a wistful and appealing look
that made every mar in the jury box feel
as if he wanted to climb right out and hit
the plaintiff with o club. Her lips were
quivering, and presently two great tears
rolled softly down her checks. That set

happened to some other woman equally

slightly inlamed appearance that would

Wrinkles.

Wrinkles are caused naturally by age,
by the gradual absorption Of the little
cushion Of fat under the skin. They are
caused ~prelnaturcly by loss OF sleep, by
worry, by i'll nature, by the very ugly CON
tortions OF the features which sc many
people indulge in while talking. Look in
your mirror, laugh violently, scowl, ETC.,
and see whore the wrinkles form. If wo-
men would only learn to let their words
express their meanings instead Of aiding
them by tying their brows, eyes and
mouth into knots, if they would put ex-
preston into their eyes instead Of vainly
trying to make expressions out OF lines
about the eyes, il they would laugh lightly
and pleasantly instead Of with the loud
guffaw that speaks the vgesnt mind" If
they would not scold or fire. and would
sleep enough, they could escape wrinkles,
which may be honorable" but surely
are not attractive, for years longer than
they now do. h
Wrinkles can be helped by feeding tn
skin. They can be removed by skin spe
c~ialists, who take off the skin of the face
and charge goodly sums for doing SO.
They can be prevented to q large extent
by judicious care of the skin. Prevention
is easier and much cheaper than cure

Amusing the Baby.

A baby will be attracted for a time by
some fine toy that he can simply look at,
but he will spend ten times as long in
putting pegs into holes on a board on
trived for tho purpose or in taking out
one by one from a well filed basket arti-
cles, no matter what-spools, blocks,
clothespins, anything-so that they are
sometimes changed and he does not tire of
the monotony. Then the task of putting
them all back keeps him busy for a still
longer time.
As baby becomes more discerning and
his fingers more nilmble a pleasing device
for his employment is a board with vari-
ously shaped holss--round, square, TRAN
gular, etc.-with blocks and spheres to fit
into the various places. Should these be
il bright c%olors, his lote for color may
also be gratified and learning these colors
soon follows. Little tasks Of carrying ar
ticles from one portion of the room to an
other or from room to room will often
keep a child busy and interested for hours.

That humanity can bear anything to
which it is accustomed in early life is
proved by the selection of sleeping places
for their children by the native women
living in the slopes of the Himalaya noun
tains. Tiley are obliged to work in the
fields for She greater part of the day, and
have lighted upon this extraordinary ex-
pedient ior keeping their children quiet
while they are away from home.
Before going to work in the morning
they swaddle their infants completely in
bandages, leaving only the face exposed.
Then they place them under a ledge of
rock from which water is dripping. By
means of a bamboo rod a tiny stream of
water is made to fall on the baby's fore
head. The dripping of the water seems to.
have a lulling effect upon the children,
for they drop asleep almost Immediately
and remain motionless until the mothers
return. Then they are ~unwrapped, dried
and fed.
The natives declare this system to be
most beneficial to the child's health, and,
oddly enough, very few of them succumb
to the treatment, growing up for the most
part into strong, healthy men and women.

In the front of the waist, SO that they
remain in position and do not draw
around under the arm, which does not
give a tidy figure. These gathered
waists are as trim as tight ones.
There are wooden waists in blouse
shapes. The favorite novel fancy SEEM
ed to be to take a plain goods like
serge or fine flannel or cashmere n
braid it with white in vermicelli de-
sign all over. Then there are revers,
and these are left plain or have the
white braid sewed on them another
way. Sateen, farmers satin and sew
eral of the new cottons with silk finish
are used to make these waists. Black
taffeta and satin are the favorite ma
terials for all the shirt waists. Tucks
in all sorts of arrangements, lace in
sertion and occasionally applique lace
are the ornamental portions. Fancy
light colored taffeta waists are tucked,
puffed and often overlaid with rich APP
plicatien of point de venise. The revers,
yokes and a Gozen other devices are of
that lace, and very rich it is over the
silk.
Some new spring house dresses are
very tasteful and pretty. One dress was
Of cadet blue mohair, the skirt plain
save for a line of black hercules braid
ing outlining a Topped tunic, Stimulating
the tunic only on the skirt. The open
jacket was trimmed with the braid.
The sleeves Inc skirt were of n shade
Of blue and the jacket part two shades
darker. This mixture Of shades OF the
same color is found in many things,
notably brown over light tan. stone
over pearl gray and all the purple
shades in the world gathered on d hat.
BY the way, these are quite new and
go by the name Of purple hats" AS I
said, all the shades of purple are there
rich, but rarely becoming.
A simple dress for a young lady was
of warm Havana brown venetian. The
skirt was plain. The waist was very
slightly gathered back and front There
were folds of the stuff at the waist cut
bias and each overlaid with green silk
gimp. A velvet ribbon belt and a pale
blue vest of folded silk and a stock Of
the same were very pretty. No prettier
combination OF color exists than brown
and green and pale blue.
Another very nice dress for home
wear was of soft wool shepherds
checks in light drab and biscuit. The
skirt was trimmed with %ruchings of
green silk, set on to initiate a tunic eff
feet. Their was a pelerine trimming
made of the material, ruff1ed, scalloped
and trimmed in turn with ruching. The
belt was of drab silk; so was the collar.
A pretty black lace jabot ornamented
the whole front. This last was remova-
BILE, as most jabots and front trimmings
are.
The zephyrs and ginghams adorn the
show windows everywhere. The colors
are pretty and delicate and most of the
figures neat and desirable.
The new spring Jackets are very pref
ty. They have flush fronts, with three
pockets and fitted backs. At the sides
the seams are slightly slashed like
mems box coats. The finish is the neat
est that human hands q achieve.
They are lined with twilled satin and
as a rule fasten invisibly with fly
fronts. The colors are very light tan
and drab, also gray and biscuit. They
are to be worn with black skirts, wheth-
er of crepon, mohair, cheviot, moreen-
silk or satin.

"When q girl is not as sure of her affec-
ton as she is of the shining of the sun in
the heavens, it is well for her to pause, to
give herself all the benefit Of the doubt, !"
writes Helen Watterson Moody in The
Ladies' Home Journal. "She should wait
until she is able to say with truth when
she gives her word, I would rather be
your wife than do or be anything else in
the world If there is in the farthest cor
ner of her heart one little doubt that the
full revelation of love has come to her, the
chances are that it has not. This is not
to say that doubts never arise in love.
1.-THE happiest engagement in all the
world is often not without a haunting fear
attendant upon it. Indeed it often hap
pens that two singularly honest n ear
nest young people have periods of exquisite
self torture during the engagement time,
and the more mature and experienced they
both are the more likely this is to happen,
for then each sees more clearly h in
early youth the perils that may come.
Each realizes that thoughlove is the great
est solvent of difficulties it Is not the only
one; that there gre sure to be the gravest
strains upon human nature in the delicate
adjustments of married life. One may be
able to trust oneself in the great crises Of
life, but it Is the pettiness Of everyday liv-
ing that lays bare ones besetting sins. A
sensitive girl breads, as cares increase,
that the romans may depart, that the
husband may some time come to find the
smaller and less brilliant world in which
the home keeping wife dwells ommo
place and sordid. The true hearted lover
fears that in some sudden blindness he
may blunder into wounding the tender
sensibilities that seem so exquisitely dear
to him now. Often each breads that he
or she or both together may prove made
quate in the plain, practical, everyday af-
fairs Of life.n

Hrr mother is noted as the best match
maker Fifth avenu has ever seen. She
has connected her family by marriage
with the Vanderbilts, the Astors and
the Gerrys.
Mrs. Goelet was one Of the handsome
est of the Wilson girls when she mar
ried Ogden Goelet, who owned great
slices of real estate in the heart of Man
haitian Islands most busy district. He
was a quiet, transformations man, who
spent much time in his dingy office
looking over his long rent rolls. His
wife whispered her social ambitions,
and he was persuaded. He hired Mrs.
Langtry's yacht White Ladye n took
his young wife for a cruise in Euro
pean waters. They entertained lavish
ly, and Mrs. Goelet got a foothold in
London society. Then he built the May
flower, the most magnificent racing
yacht ever seen at that time. This cost
$500, coo, but it defended the Americas
cup and took the Goelets still deeper
into the exclusive English society.
1t was during the splendid series of
festivities given on the Mayfiower in
Cowes Roads in the summer of 1897 that
Mrs. Goelet met the Earl of Chester

We're also entertained at this time.
The festivities were continued even
While Mr.. Goelet himself was quite i'll.
1t is probable that no one realized how
grave was his situation. In August.
1897. he died, and the splendid yacht
brought his body across the Atlantic
to be laid at rest in Newport.
Ogden Goelet left 100000, 900 worth of
real estate and probably $40, 600, 900 in
personal property. He willed the bulk
of his estate to his son and daughter.
To his wife he left $500, 900 in money,
the house on Fifth avenue, some per-
sonal property and an annuity Of $780,
600 a year. The $500, 900 in cash was in
creased to $500. coo by the executors,
that option being left them in the will.
Mrs. Goelet is now occupying as her

Lucky wedding Days.

1t is superstition that leads us to select
different seasons of the year or particular
days for tho celebration of our weddings,
and we are indebted in a good part for
this to the ancients. At Athens winter
was regarded as a favorable time. The
fourth day of the month was recommended
by Hesiod, and Euripides was in favor of
the time of the full moon. The Romans
were great believers in favorable and un-
favorable days. The calends, the nones
and the ides of each month were regarded
as unsuitable for marriage ceremonies, as
were also the months of May and Febru-
airy. June was the most esteemed of all,
and is still in great favor among many
nations.-Frederick Boyd Stevenson II

is just this side which disappears when
women write to men; chameleon-like,
