Women complain good deal about
the egotism and rudeness of young
men. but the facts prove, says an east

be blamed for their attitude. Hostesses,
eager for good masculine showing at
their social functions. ask men with
out making any attempt to satisfy
themselves as to their proposed guests
desirability. An Englishman COM
ments rather sharply on this custom
of London hostesses. Women" he
says. take the manners out of the men
they criticise. AS for social negligence.
last season received more than dozen
cards for dances from hostesses whom
l dH not know and who did not know
me. If women allow shoals of young
men whom they do not know to be in
vited to their houses they must expect
social CONTRIBUTIONS equally great in
return"

is no west at all. THE people that take

very much angered when they hear the
announcer shout: Express for Pitts
burgh and the far west!' They don't
like it. The people of Chicago point to
Wisconsin as being the west. The inhab-
itants of Wisconsin scorn to consider
themselves westerners and say that the
only real westerners in the United
States are the people of California, Ore
gon and Washington. When you go and
ask those people if they are westerners
they look at you with surprise and tell
you that they live on the Pacific slope"

The new woman movement has not
yet succeeded in placing the sex every
where on an equal-rights footing with
men. One of the marks of woElans
subsection which has not yet been at,
tackled by the suffrage societies is the
absence of her name from the city d.
rectory. Unless. remarks the Chicago
Chronicle. she happens to be a widow
or engaged in some active business pur-
suit she has no place in that book of
universal reference. Some prominent
names are recorded and so are dozens
of other women who are heads of vari-
Gus business enterprises, but women
who have no occupation outside their
own homes must be sought for in So
cial registers and society lists. Even
women who hold responsible positions
in business firms are ignored by the
directory, though the name of every
clerk in the city is duly recorded. In
the vast majority of cases the directory
women whose names are sprinkled

bands are dead and they have succeed

A wooden legs uncanny pranks STAN
peded negro funeral in New York
the other day. An old negro who had
stumped about on a peg ever since the
war of 'C1-G5 died. The negro col
ony to which he belonged decided to
hold wake" on lines borrowed from
their Irish neighbors. The regulation
candles were burning, pipes were light
ed, and the gin, which replaced the ira
ditional whisky, circulated freely. The
guests warbled hallelujah choruses, and
when quartette was singing Roll,
Jordan. Roll" the dead mans wooden
leg began to move, and the supersti-
tious coiored people fed in all direc-
tons. At last one brave man summoned
courage to investigate, and it was found
that the ice had melted faster under the
wooden leg than the natural one and
caused it to move. So the wake" con-
tnued with redoubled enthusiasm.

Marriage Promoters.

Not lis marriage failure?" but
marriage shall be SUGGEST" is the
motive of the Women's Improvement
club, an organization just formed and
which is intended to sweep the country.
Suicide and divorce are to be lessened,
the saloon driven out of business and
the morals of the whole country raised
by the efforts of the club. No more
shall biscuits be set before the husband
of such hardness that he is moved to
throw them at his wife. No longer shall
the unfortunate beggar at the door be
fed with food that sends him away
moaning under the agony of acute di-
gestion. The object of the club is 1.-THE
education and the instruction of mar
ried women in the art of making their
homes comfortable al happy, to the
end that the homes may be attractive
TO their husbands and conducive to the
wealth and future prospects of their
children" Merely for it's influence on
the public at large it is little unfor-
tunate that all the directors of the
club are entitled to Miss before their
names; but perhaps no married women
would care to undertake the task these
ladies have set out to accomplish.

Hope for Bald Heads,

The purveyors of hair lotions war
ranted to cure badness have made not
a little capital out of the microbe as
Vulnerable point of attack. This van
tage ground, however, has of late been
abandoned, and the Deichler theory is
receiving strong support at the hands
of those who are interested in the sale
of the materials employed. DR.. Deich-
Ter bases his treatment on the fact that
the hair contains a substance similar to
glue and gelatine. He, therefore, adj
ministers colloids in different forms. To-
gether with a tonic regime, he gives
the patient bouillons prepared by the
prolonged boiling of two parts of meat
and one part of bones. The bones are
frequently replaced by gelatine, or by
shavings of deer's horns, which are rich
in ossifying cartilage. The effect of
the treatment is seen strikingly in old
men, who acquire kind of rejuvena-
ton of the skin, and distinct vigor of
the scalp, which increases the hair
growth. In younger men the changed
condition of hair is seen hardly less dis
tinctly.
