EXCITING SCENES
Lively Scrap in the Chamber of
 Deputies

Br :ssels, February H.-There was an ex- citing scene in the chamber of deputies to- day arising out Of discussion regarding the renewal of the privileges of the na- tional hack. A not alteration ensued be- tween the conservatives and socialists, and this finally degenerated into an exchange of insulting personalities.
 M. de Bloem, prominent socialist dep uty, threatened to box the ears of M. WI artart, one of the deputies for Brussels and an independent, and the ushers were compelled to lay hold of him. M. de Bloem struggled violently and kept on shouting ii4s threat, and the court was suspended until he was overpowered. When this was accomplished his temporary exclusion was voted but as he refused to leave the hall the session was again suspended.

YOa Should Think Not of Yourself,

Doing.

The bashful young girl must stop
thinking about herself, writes Marga-
ret f.. Sangster in Ladies' Home Jour
nal. | heard the other day of a man,
a college student, who went to visit
his sister, college student, also. He
was the one man, as IL happened, in
the dining-room with 500 girls, and
he had occasion to cross the room
with their bright eyes beaming on
him with curiosity and interest. Said
my informant: The bo. was COM
pletely at his ease You would have
thought his sister the only girl pres
ent." Evidently the young mans
mother had brought him up in a SEN
sible way and he was free from that
bane of comfort, self-consciousness II
is hard for a very diffident person to
be free from awkwardness, and very
acute distress and much humiliation
may be the results of an extreme
shyness. Try not to think how you
look, what impression you are max
ing. what sort OF gown you have on.
Do not let your mind dwell on yourself.
but think of what you are to do.
and of making others pleased and
happy. Once you are free from
self-consciousness. bashfulness will

SPRING pETTIcoATs.
rhe Princess Il Popular and Il Made
of Various Pretty
Materials.

Prominent among the spring novel
ties in lingerie is the princess petit
coat. 1t is a combination of skirt
and corset cover and is fitted care
fully to the figure with darts and
seaTms. 1t does away entirely with
the Objectionable waist band and is
most desirable garment TO wear be-
meath the gowns of to-day. which.
siiough they ripple and fare at the
hem. fit as closely as ever over the
hips and for some distanc0 below
them.
The new princess petticoats are a
decided temptation to even the eco
nomical woman accustomed 20 self
denial.
These princess petticoats are made
of brocade. liberty satin and India
silk, but perhaps the daintiest are of
sheer linen lawn. lace insertions and
wash ribbons. One extremely pretty
model in filmy lawn shows the lace
insertion arranged in a series of Van
Dyke points. and the beading,
through which pink wash ribbon is
run. placed in perpendicular stripes.
The skirt is cut TO fare below the
knees and is made with a double lace
trimmed flounce and a graceful demi-
train.
All the new pettieoats are fitted to
the form with special care. A number
of the French models are shaped to
the figure over the hips by having the
material finely plated. The faring
founce. which starts at the knees. is
invariably trimmed with lace frills
and insertions. Sometimes it is cut
circular and then again il is straight
and gathered.
These skirts are always made with
two fiounces, and the under founee
Is generally trimmed with a plated
or gathered lace-edged frill. Much lace
insertion is used as trimming. and
the clever joining of laees is feature
of this seasons skirts.
In heading the founce which forms
the lower part of the latest petticoats
many novelties are introduced. Some
show the founce headed with merely
a fine line of fancy silk hemstitching.
Others are decorated with exquisite
hand embroidery and then again the
heading of the founce is defined by a
dainty lattice work design of wash
ribbon. baby width. run through lace
beading. The majority of the elab-
crate petticoats this spring are made
with short trains.--N. Y. Journal.

ART OF ENTERTAINING.
II Lies Not In LaborIOus Effort But
In Quiet Agreeable
ness.

A great many people entirely iso-
late themselves from society, says
Christian Work, because they do not
know how TO entertain. or, rather,
doubt their ability of engaging in
such a task. The true art of enter
tanning is not in a laborious effort at
OVERRIDING ones self to please others,
but rather in the simple act of being
agreeable to the best of our ability.
True. II is well TO render ones self in
dividually congenial to guests. IL such
is possible, or within the power of
a host or hostess, but when IL becomes
an evident labor TO do so. il is bet
ter simply to be agreeable in a gen.
eral, unaffected way" To which il is
proper to add that there is quite as
much danger OF overriding as under
doing this whole matter of entertain
ment. There are a great many quiet
people who do not care TO listen TO
an incessant personal chatter, deliv-
cred point-blank. even from. the most
charming lips and in the most per-
feet manner. In other words. they
prefer the general rather than the ex-
cessively individual flavor.
