will be hard to fill. Dr. Barnes married
Miss Minerva Martin, a daughter of

pining for the cool depths of the oceans
bed and the music of the waves we
loved, our shell opened.
when this was discovered by the men
who had made the heaps upon the sand,
the shell was at once thoroughly washed
and cleaned; and not only all that re-
manned of the poor little animal whose
home it had been was lost to us forever,
but we were also doomed to separation
from our foster-brother, the pearl, which
was carried away by the men, who,
judging from their EXPLANATIONS of de-
light upon finding it, must have deemed
it alone we'll worth any dangers they
braved in making their way to the won
derland of the sea.
after this cleansing, we, that is, the
pearly lining, were sent with a great
quantity of nacre taken from the other
shells long distance, to city in Eng
land called Birmingham, to button
manufacturer. There we were put into
the hands of skilled workmen, who, by
pose, cut, drilled and turned us into our
present shape, tackled us to a card, and
then packed us in small box with
others Of our kind.
after all this had been done we again
started on a journey, at the end Of
which we found ourselves in the big
store of wholesale merchant in New
York city.
after short rest we were again sent
on our way, stopping a little while in
the showcase of a dealer in a smaller
city, where we were spied one day by a
lady who was making some purchases in
the store, and at her request soon trans
ferred to her shopping-bag. You will

Tidfne9S.

In the days gone by, before the new
ton, girls were rigidly taught the
good, oldfashioned principle of tidiness.
"Neatness" hardly expresses my mean
ing as we'll as does the quaint, old time
word. To be tidy" Webster tells us,
is to be arranged in good order; neat;
kept in proper and becoming neatness.
Nowadays girls are neat to certain ex-
tent and in certain way. They battle
freely and wear clean clothes, but are
they tidy? Frequently they are not
Their hair is often loose and prone to
tumble down, their gloves are sometimes
ripped at the finger tips, and one or two
buttons are lacking from their boots.
The stock collar is often fastened on
with an ordinary white pin that is very
obvious, and the veil has occasionally
hole over the nose or chin. Our girl is
charming, but is she as careful as she
should be?
The other day I was making morn
ing call at friends house, and there
met another caller, woman who made
a most agreeable impression upon me.
She was not deliberately dressed, but
her black tailor-made gown fitted her
we'll, and there was not spot or speck
of dust on it. 1 knew that it had been
brushed carefully before she left her
room. Her linen collar and cuffs were
snowy white, and did not twist or shift
from their proper places. Her gloves
did not wrinkle, and buttoned smoothly
over her wrists; her shoes were like the
rest of her attire-dainty; and her bon
net rested firmly and straight on soft
brown hair that, while wavy and fluffy,
was neatly dressed, and so securely
pinned that fancy high wind would
not have caused it to come down. A
thin veil covered a fresh complexion and
bright face. In speaking of this woman
afterwards to a man who knows her, l
said:
There is something about her ap-
pearance that charms one. What is the
secret?
81 will tell you," he said, "she is
we'll groomed woman. There are never
any rough or loose ends about her."
"You mean that she is tidy" said to
him.
"You call it tidy I say well groom
ed We both mean the same thing"
However one may express tin sport
ing terms or with the old-fashioned
worlds the condition not we'll worth
striving for?

TO ENTERTAIN FARMERS WIVES.
Oklahoma Club Women Plan Restful
Recreation for Their Sisters.

Oklahoma Club Women Plan Restful
Recreation for Their Sisters.
From the Chicago Times Herald
WICHITA, Kan, May 18.-The Okla
homa club women have instituted a
novelty which clubs all over the United
States will probably adopt. The plan is
to entertain the wives of farmers who
come to town to trade and have no place
to go other than in crowded stores.
When the women are accompanied by
children the time so spent is especially
disagreeable, and the result has been
that many seldom come to town and
become hardened to country life.
The club women of Guthrie have rent
ed suite of rooms, where farmers
wives and children can go and rest free.
A matron serves coffee and cake at nom
inal cost to those who wish to buy.
The mental and social isolation of the
country women in Oklahoma is their
greatest burden. Many mothers have
become insane from it's very monotony
The club women of Guthrie saw the
need of such move, and the Guthrie
club leads the world in a great move for
the advancement of the farmers wife.

Till her mother rejoiced when she left

Il love you, mother" said little Fan,
To-day I'll help you all can;
How glad am school doesn't keep"
So she rocked the baby till it fell asleep.
Then stepping softly she brought the
broom,
And swept the floor and tidied the room,
Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and happy as child could be.
