BEARS ALL ANXIETY.
The Young Woman Who Helps Hog
tcsses to BE Happy While They
Are EntertniptaE.

How to be happy though the hostess
of large dinner party is what young
woman, at the rate of from three to
five dollars an evening, is showing a
number of wealthy women. This young
woman, in looking around for a means
of bread-winning, decided to become
professional bearer of dinner party anX-
ieties. What she does is to manage din
ners or wedding breakfasts or large
luncheons, and, though she neither
cooks nor waits on table, she fultills
most important mission.
She stands before the hostess in all
worry. A half hour before the meal is
served she appears in the dining-room
and sees to it that the butler has got
the table set, and that the wines are
rising or falling to precisely the right
temperature. Then she dons her big
apron, and as guests file into the dining
room she takes her stand by the pam
try's dumb-waiter to see that every dish
comes up exactly on time, piping hot
when it ought to be hot, chilled to the
marrow when the chill is necessary,
and, furthermore, she tastes it to see
that it's flavor is exactly what it ought
to be. Having a quick wit, resourceful
mind and a knowledge of French cook
cry, she takes care that no dish passes
to the table that is not above reproach.
Where she stands in the pantry there is
heard none of the crash and grind of
dinner party machinery; no long waits
between courses elapse.
Now, this may seem a sinecure, but
grateful hostesses look upon her work
as exalted modern philanthropy, for
even if the butler is a new man, the cook
possible traitor to her trust and the
caterer apt to play tricks with ices and
sorbets, so long as the dinner manager
is at the pantry helm nothing can go
wrong. With all the ease of an unfet-
tered soul the hostess can give her
whole mind to her guests. If she is a
hostess new at the business she can
send for the manager beforehand and
have her dinner all planned fer her,
every detail considered, even TO the
color of the flowers and the pattern on
the tablecloth, and the very latest sur
prise in an epicurean dclicacy worked
up for the envious delectation of her
guests. But this is an eXtra.-N. Y.

back. The inside should be covered
first and the material drawn tight.
The sides and front of the one shown
here are laid in large box plaits, the
back being perfectly plain. The lid
should be padded with one or two layers
of cotton and finished with ruffle
about three inches wide tackled on the
top of the lid so it will fall down over
the box about two inches. This re-
quires five yards of creton. For the
outside brass head tapestry tacks
should be used.

it can be used for packing away your

SOME BEAUTY HINTS.
Are the hest Complexion Pow
der Yet Discovered.

In some eases poor complexion
arises mainly from lack of exercise.
Women who live an entirely sedentary
life have slow circulation and usually
a bad digestion, and these are fertile
causes of muddy-appearing skin. En-
crcise gives rapidity to the movement
of the blood, stimulates digestion and
Gains the nerves, and is frequently
more beneficial than any sort of medi-
cine, although it should not be INDUCED
in Immediately after meals. Physicians
are beginning TO recognize the fact that
tives, and that exercise, peace of mind
congenial society and recreation are not
merely luXurics, but necessities if good
health is to be preserved. Chapped and
rough lips are nos only painful, but dis
figuring, and it is advisable never to
go into the open air without previously
using q little glycerin or yaseline upon
the mouth. 70 moisten the lips with
the tongue has drying effect upon the
skin ultimately, and the habit is one
to be vigorously avoided. Toilet soap of
inferior quality is extremely injurious
to the complexion. Only the best soap
should be employed, and that does not
necessarily mean the soap most OK

SHIRT WAIST BOX.
The One Here Described Is Not Only a
Very Useful But an Ornamental
Article AS Well.

With the shirt-waist season comes
the difficulty of finding place to keep
our waists without mussing them.
When stiffiy starched they take up a
great deal of room in the dresser, and if
hung in the closet are more likely to be
on the floor the greater part of the
time. Shirt-waist boxes are not new
departure, but as q rule the ready
made ones arc SO expensive that the
girl in ordinary circumstances cannot
afford them.
The box shown in the accompanying
illustration is covered with pale blue
and white creton and the entire cost
was only So cents. While the light stuffs
make a very dainty effect, the darker
ones are more serviceable and will not

FOR TBMPERENOG PEOPLE.
Educate Not Prohibit, Says Bishop Potter, Of
New Yok

When Bishop Potter declared him
self in favor of the saloon at a temper
ence meeting in New York the other
night, be dropped a bombshell in the
Prohibition camp and created a SEN
satlon In the community of wet goods
people, producers and consumers.
Potter says the saloon must stay until
better places have been provided in
which poor people who cannot spare
$50 for club membership and its
incidental expenses may spend an
evening. He would give the common,
everyday working man a more real
enjoyment for his money than he can
get IN the saloon, and would use edu.
cational means that IN time would
result in the slave to appetite aband-
onlng his old resorts and step up on
the higher plane of sociability without
dissipation. Potter would adopt a
middle course, and he is right. He
does not lay down a cast.iron law that
no man shall taste, touch or handle
spirltuous beverages, but he would
teach men the folly of being slaves to
unnatural appetites.
You cannot prohibit a man from
drinking till he is drunk, but you can
show him the foolshness and iniquty
of such course, and lead them to
abandon it. A temperance man is one
who avoids extremes. To drink no
wine at all is an extreme just as much
as to drink wine to excess. When we
say a temperate climate we mean one
that is neither too hot nor too cold.
Applying the prohibition theory and
principle, by temperate climate we
would mean no climate at all.
All educated and refined people de-
pore the evils of the liquor traffic, and
form of the system. But deep-think-
ing people know, that you cannot
sweep the liquor business out of exist
ence by one stroke of legislation. The
excessive drinker is victim of a dis
ease, and he Cannot be cured by pro-
hlhltlon, but he may be cured, and ten
chances to one will be cured, by edu.
cation. In France everybody drinks
wine and other sprtuous liquors, but
they have no drunkards. All this is so
because for generations people have
been taught that the use of the beav-
erage was right, but its abuse was
wrong. If to-day you passed pro-
hibitory law in France you would GER
tainly create drunkards in direct pro.
portion to the stringency with which
YOU enforced the law. Bishop Potter
has struck the keynote to success Let
the temperance people take up tie
strain and all respectable people will
join them IN bringing about reforms
that years Of vain efforts have failed to
accomplish.
