The woman who allows herself 10 look
unattractive, says the American Queen.
in other words dowdy, is either she who
has no faculty of discriminating between
the becoming and the unbecomng, or she
who by circumstances or influence allows
herself TO drift into indifference Whether
a woman be strong minded or weak
minded there is no excuse for this.
A woman who has taste, no matter how
long she must wear her gowns, always

false idea Of economy has led many per-

over exert yourself when YOU are tired in
order to save a few cents or to make a
badly worn garment serve a little longer

well made are best for business purposes;
hats. shoes and gloves are important adj

sure each one who enters has a seat Ii
there are so many in the room as to pre-
vent general conversation, she talks with
the latest arrival. When any of her
guests departs she rises, but does not go

there are several persons in the room, to
hasten away on the arrival Of newcomers
although generally they should not outsit
the latter. Ladies who are calling do not
arise on the entrance or departure of
other callers, except in the case of the

Youth and beauty. says the New York
Tribune, had a fairer representation than
old age last evening at the first autumn
meeting of the Hundred Year Club. at the
Waldorf Astoria Many OF the members

through the United states, but the ma

principle relating to good health and con-
sequently long life.
