Why She Is Popular.

"A charming and popular woman is
the greatest blessing of humanity" re-
marked an observing man the other
day. But a popular oma will never
disclose the secret Of her popularity
that others may benefit by it and the
world thus be made brighter. Would
you object to telling me the secret Of
your popularity? said he, turning to
a society N nearby. She replied:
Il think the secret is due to the fact
that I write notes. When I hear Of a
young woman's coming marriage or
her engagement is announced I write
a few lines of congratulation. II a
friend is i'll I write a note of sympa-
thy. If there is a death in the family
I write a letter Of coincidence. If a
woman has any joy or sorrow come to
her l remember it with a few words on
a sheet Of paper. 1t really takes very
little time if kept up properly, and is
SO heartily appreciated, you know"
Thank you," said the man. "You
have explained why you are a favorite
with women. Now, will you tell me
why men find you SO charming?" "a
man is a very sensitive creature, but
women, as a rule, overlook this fact.
A man does not like to be reminded
OF his shortcomings any more than a
oma does. l always try to talk to
every man as he talks to me, and I
treat young men as if they were old
and old men as if they were young. l
can think of no other reasons for my
popularity" said she.

Dainty Footgear.

For full dress wear the very daintest
OF footgear is again in fashion-slip-
pers made in all the light shades, and
IN gold and silver as well. Patent
leather will be worn more this winter
both by men and women than ever be-
lore, and is made up in the three fore
going styles, and considered as appro-
pirate for the street as for the ball
room. Imitation tips are quite the
fashion; that is, on the patent leather
shoe there is no tip, but a double row
OF stitching or perforations to simulate
one. Kid and calfskin shoes are al
most invariably made with the imita-
ton tip, although occasionally a pat
ent leather tip is seen on a kid boot
or shoe. Tan calfskin boots will be
worn during the winter months again
for bad weather, those carrying the
absurdly elaborate trimmings of per-
torations being most in fashion.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

Time was when the word plague
fllea every heart with horror. Amer
lea has never been devastated by the
fell disease and now when a vessel
from Brazil has arrived at New York
with several cases on board there is
nothing to fear, for they have been
promptly quarantined. The "black
death" as the plague has been appro-
priately named, is always present in
Asia, where native ignorance and dis
regard Of cleanliness have rendered
it epidemic. Europe, which was peri
odlcally decimated by this fatal putrid
fever, has got rid of it by proper at
tention to sanitation. The United
States with its good drainage, good
living and the accompanying increased
vitality has nothing to fear from the
presence of a few isolated cases at the
New York quarantine.

this fact accounts for poor bread often
