Tho Girl WHO Knn,rs How.

"There's such thing as being too
smart" sighed tho ambitious girl.
cts really a misfortune to have the
reputation of being able to do things,
for the one who possesses the knack of
doing anything, from millinery to
scrubbing,is almost sure to be imposed
upon"
1t is true that such q girl is apt to
be overworked by her friends, who,
seeing the deft fingers work so quick
ly, too forgetful of the strength used
in gratifying their requests to "iust
help me out on this, dear, you do it
so beautifully"
However, believe in teaching girls
to do everything that they are likely
to need to know in every day life or
emergencies, and L am not like
the mother who would not teach her
girls how to cook, believing if they
didn't know how they wouldn't have
it to do.
But with all the rest of the knowl-
edge, impress upon the girls regard
for their own strength, and the power
to say no when the nerves cry out
that the limit of healthful endurance
is reached.

a Candid Publisher.

In the death of J. Schabolisz, the
Zurich publisher and author, the
world of art and letters has lost one
of its extraordinary characters. He
was shrewd business man, an excel
lent linguist, skillful writer, and
probably the most savage publisher
who ever lived. When he accepted
the famous memoirs of Count Won Ar
MIN, he wrote on the postal card, with
the acceptance, the proviso; 81 re-
serve the right to correct your infer
nally lad grammar.
To an aspiring poet who had sub
mitted manuscript he answered by
postal card: 81 refuse to be dis
graced by printing your doggerel. /
don't return the copy because you
didu't inclose enough postage. If
you will send il, with the price Of this
card, ] will send it to you, but | don't
think the stuff is worth the expense
on your part"
One of the postal cards to novelist
read about as follows: "For Heavens
sake, come and take away the unnam-
able mass OF paper you left here for
me to look at"
An ambitious historian was crushed
by the following, written, like all of
his correspondence, upon a postal
card; "You are making the mistake
of your life. You don't want to study
history. You want to learn how to
write. Saturday Evening Post.

A LANDLADY'S SCHEME,
How Woman Got Her Start on the Road
to Social Greatness.


cone hears much facetious talk
about the hard luck of boarding.
house keepers with fellows who leave
without warning after running up a
good size bill, but L am going to re.
late q story that is absolutely true, +"
remarked travelling salesman to a
group of men who were swapping
stories in the hotel corridor.
"The story concerns one Of the
social lights of Gotham who got her
first step upon the rung of the ladder
of success by realizing on the death
of a boarder who owed her a pretty
tidy sum. A very improbable tale
you say? Well, wen see. 1t was in
the days when she was not over pros
porous and kept clearinghouse in
n not very fashionable part OF the
city. One day a stranger went to
board with her and paid regularly,
He appeared to be without friends or
relatives, for no one called to see him
and no letters came to the house
addressed in his name. He was en-
ployed as o clerk in some store, and
never enlightened any one as to who
he was and where he lived when he
was home, if he ever had one.
One week he lost his job, but as he
was a steady chap, and had been so
prompt in his payments, his landlady
allowed him to run up bill. lie
seemed to be unfortunate, somehow,
for no one would give him employ.
ment, and so that bill grew larger and
larger. One day the landlady pro-
posed that he become insured in her
favor, that she would pay the premiums,
and, if anything happened to him,
why she would be reimbursed for
the credit she had advanced him. A
blunt, -blooded proposition, say
you? Well, he agreed to it, and be-
came insured for $500 in her favor.
The premiums were regularly paid by
the landlady.
All that time the delinquent boarder
went from one job to another, and
never staid in one place long enough
to be able to pay off his debt to the
landlady. A fearful winter set in and
pneumonia was prevalent, people
dropping off so fast as to create the
biggest kind of scare in the city.
He was taken SEX, and no mother
could have looked after this fellow as
his landlady did. She paid for a
doctor and nurse to attend him and
did everything in her power to bring
him around to health. But he died,
and a mighty good funeral the poor
fellow had. The insurance was paid
to her, and with the few hundred dol
lars she received in lump sum her
husband was enabled to make for
tunate speculation which started them
we'll on the way to the possession of
millions and a place in the -Four
Hundred. Improbable? Well, the
story's true every word OF it.

Wide Tire Testimony.

Testimony on the valne of wide tires
comes from all sections of the globe.
A correspondent of a paper in Sydney
describes road in which heavily
laden wagons with narrow tires sank
''half.spoke deep, and IN places to
their wheel hubs" and yet load of
five tons carried on six-inch tires sank
but two to four inches in the worst
places. In dry weather, he says, the
roads are cut up by narrow tires until
the dust is foot deep, and then the
rain will not make the dust set hard
again.
A good material for roads is gravel,
''but no gravel loads of ten and twelve
tons on three and four-inch tires. An
experienced teamster will not speak
about the tonnage his team can draw.
He will say, & think the road will
carry five tons or more, as the case
might be. | have heard road superiu-
tendents say that enormous sums Of
money could be saved annually ii
broad tires were used. The only OBJ
lection / have heard raised against
the wide tires is that they do not fit
into the ruts cut by the narrow ones,
which makes the draught heavier upon
the team. That is partially true, but
the ruts would not be cut if all the
wagons had wide tires. Portable en-
gines varying from six to eight horse
power and weighing five tons and over
are drawn by lighter teams than
wagons which, with their loads, would
not weigh more. This is owing to the
broad tires always used on engines.
The ash pans on engines are seldom
more than about ten inches from the
ground, but owing to the wide tires,
these engines seldom bog deep enough
to allow the pans to touch the ground. |"
North American Horticulturist.

A pretty little incident marked the
arrival of Queen Victoria at London
on the occasion of her recent visit to
the capital city, just after the turn of
the war tide in South Africa. After
the royal train came to standstill
there followed the inevitable delay
pending the completion of the prepa-
rations by which the Queen was pro-
vided with an inclined platform to
make it easier for her to walk from
her saloon to the carriage in waiting.
1t was during this interval that the
aged sovereign caught sight of the
station dog "Tim," who was running
about the trainshed.
He was gayly beribboned for the
occasion, and by means of a cup un-
der his chin was diligently "collect-
ing" from the crowd contributions for
the fund to assist tn widows and
orphans OF the Great Western en-
ployes. The Queen asked his mis-
sion, and, upon being informed of it,
caused him to be brought to the
saloon of the train and thereupon
dropped a sovereign in the collection
box attached to his collar, ,-Philadei-

Smaller Cnlling Cnras.

The big pocketbook has been re-
placed by the purse of gold mesh,
netted silk and beads, suede and
Jewels, and the very long and unhand-
lily broad oardcase has given way to
the easily carried case of convenient
size and weight. The change has
necessitated change in the size of
visiting cards, aud these are smaller
than they have been for many years.
A few years ago misses not yet "out"
used cards the size of those now cor
rect for their mothers. Some of the
new cards are almost square, others
just tri1e longer than they are
broad. With an address in one cerner
and an at-home day in another there
is not much fair white space left upon
which the indolent woman can scrawl
message instead of writing a note,
but these small cards are very handy

Necessities Created by New Fashlons.
New fashions often create new ne.
cessities, and the train skirt is new to
many of the younger women. They
find it difficult TO manage, and accuse
themselves bitterly of awkwardness
when they find themselves entangled
in its clinging folds. In point of fact,
the mere phrase "manage the train
definitely conveys the idea of difficulty,
and since trains first were worn novel.
lists have laid stress upon THEN hero,
ines grace in managing them, and the.
atrical critics comment upon it in like
manner.
The novice in train gowns. there.
fore, does not need to feel badly over
her deficiency, but simply apply her.
self to remove it. IL is not weakness
and allectation SO try to acquire grace
OF movement. 1t is duty.
The way to seat ones self is to catch
the skirts lightly in one hand, bend
one knee, and so slide down into the
chair, at the same moment releasing
the draperies, with an imperceptible
swing that throws them in sweeping
folds almost into semicircle. In ris-
ing catch the skirts in the same way,
and with dsxterous twist of the
wrist and slight backward movement
of the foot spread the train in ITS
proper fan shape. 1t Is difficult to de-
scribe, but a little practice will accom-
plish the trick, aud it is well wortl'

A Pretty Iiohlce Novelty.

There is n new note in the bodicea
of fashionable gowns these days, and
although one that would have seemed
incongruous to our grandmothers, it
is extremely pretty. 1t is double
zephyr worsted, used to lattice work
and embroider certain parts of fancy
shirts instead OF the Roman silks and
fosses that have been familiar so
long. One distinctive usage is seen
in bodices of black satin or liberty
silk, made over white Innings. If it
is arranged with tucks--either bias or
straight, the interspaces are decorated
with a working of the double zephyr
The decoration never represents
flowers, leaves or similar designs.
Usually it is worked in a cat stitch
and, as an added touch, when the
needle points out of each side of the
goods the zephyr is thrown about il
several times and fastened so as to
form French knot. The dress goods
under the worsted is then cut away
and allows the underIining to show
through only slightly as the catstitch-
ing was very closely done, The
worsted was of many mixed colors
through which yellow aud purple pre-
dominated. Another charming bodice
was OF cherry. .colored liberty silk
made over cream white 1t was elab-
orately worked with black double
zephyr.
On rather fancy shirt waists this
work, though slight, gives them a
touch of style and novelty. The
edges, also of fancy and adjustable
collars, with ear points and pointed
cuffs, are being finished with double
zephyr. At first they are edged with
satin ribbon of some color in con
trast to the collar and on the ribbon
the worsted work is executed. This
work is quickly done, and it is greatly
in its favor that no advance design
ing is necessary. A straight eye and
an adaptability in designing is all thai
is necessary.
1t is also feasible to fill in many
sharp little corners ON gowns with /
fan-shaped bit, the stitches being
long and graduated. Again the ole
Roman block design is used on straps
to cross over the vests OF bodices. b,
those that know about up-to-dat,
gowns, it seems as though even NOR,

TO WEAR III Vs.

Lace boleros in black and white
and ecru colors will be seen.
Cluny lace is used for many kinds
of gowns this year, and is charming
with all.
A satin ribbon worn around the
neck and tied in trim bow at the
throat should have the two ends long
and tucked in at the belt.
A panne velvet parasol has rather q
warm look for summer, but it is beau
tiful. One with a white ground, with
the most delicate pink roses in clus-
ters upon it, is charming.
A woolen gown which has narrow
panel front has a solid mass of tucks
or folds going around horizontally
over the hips from the panel. Large
women will have to fight shy of such
gowns.
Some of the bodices seen are ma lie
to blouse decidedly back and front, as
pronounced blouse effect as has been
worn in any of the time of the recent
popularity. of the bloused garments.
Some of the bloused waists are plated
in close small plaits.
One pretty little silk gown has the
fullness given it by fine tucks set in
around the waist. These are stitched
down five or six inches to form three
points in the front and at the sides,
and below this the tucks flow out into
the skirt. The fine tucks are set in
plain at the back.
An Eton jacket on a pretty little
light stuff frock opens at the side,
and is fastened across with narrow
black velvet ribbons. There are three
of these fastenings, each with two
straps of the black velvet, with bunchy
little rosettes of the black velvet on
either end. 1t makes rather pretty
finish.
Panne velvet is combined with satin
ribbons. A sash that is worn with a
light stuff gown has black panne
velvet centre, with brilliant colored
flowers on it, and wide edges of black
satin ribbon. This is narrow sash
width, and is tied once around the
waist and fastened little at the side
of the front with big bow.
The new stockings are gorgeous to
behold. Black silk stockings are cut
out ON the instep to show appliques
of lace. Others have the holes worked
around with button-hole stitch, and
underneath are set pieces of bright
colored taffeta. Black stockings. are
embroidered with dots and small
flowers. The open-work stockings
are of exquisite delicacy.
A unique belt is made of three mar
row straps of white kid over black
velvet ribbon. The black velvet is
rather wide, crushed together at the
ends in front, where the three straps
of tho kid are also brought close to-
gether, and the whole fastened with a
small gold clasp. AS the straps pass
around the waist they are separated
about their own width apart, and held
in place by little crosspieces OF gold
tiligree work.
