The care needed to keep the be
nngfngs of the well-dWssad woman
in good condition has brought out all
sorts of inventions for her con-
venience. Tray trunks succeeded the
Saratoyas into which an entire sum-
mcr's wardrobe went, solidly, and
now costume trunks are rivalling the
tray-5oxes. The costume trunks
stand on end, the rounded top making
It impossible to stand it upside down.
Inso these trunks u dozen gowns may
go, each suspended as if in the home
closet; and, best of all the sides of the
trunk open, the box thus becoming
wardrobe, of service in the limited
and usually closetless room Of the
summer boarder. 1t pays to make
the rounds of the shops before select
ing new luggage boxes, their improve
ment, through even the last year, being
remarkable.

Some of the Don'ts of Mrs. Hangers 8
address will be suggestive in other
club circles. This is family gather
ing. She said, and as such would not
be typical one without few ad-
monitory don'ts.
Don't join club tna because there
ts q vacancy.
Don't join club expecting to attend
only when there is nothing else 30 do.
Don't join a club until you have
read and understand its bylaws
Don't join a club expecting the Off
GER to furnish all the fuel for the
steam of enthusiasm and for the fire
Of energy.
Don't imagine if you are an officer
That you have any higher personal
privileges than a high private, ex-
capt to work early and often.
Don't imagine that every other sub
tect on the programme would have
suited you better than the one the
committee assigned to you.
Don't imagine because corporations
have no souls that clubs have no
epfstofary etiquette; prove that they
have hy answering letters even at the
point of nervous prostration.
The last don't was suggestive-don't
forget that you belong to the Arkan-
sas Federation of W@en's Clubs,
that there are 2G00 women OF you,
and what you wish and work for can
not escape being Il certainty and a
success .-Harper's Bazar.

Pocketbooks Spelled "Empty,"

Initial pocketbooks that We're carried
by five women caused lot of fun in u
street car the other day. When three
women entered the car and became
seated it was noticed that their purses
contained the initials Il, NJ and Z, in
the order given. At the next square
two more women entered, and both
carried similar purses, the letter On
one having been Il and that on the othel
Y. When the new passengers sat
down alongside the other three women
the initials in the five purses as they
We're held in a row, formed the word
E-MP-T-Y. The smiles of passengers
who sat on the opposite side of the car
as they looked at the quintet of women
caused the latter some emblrrass-
ment until one of them, noticing the
combination of letters on the purses,
laughingly informed the others. After
all had laughed and turned the initials
to the wall, the conductor approached,
seeking fares. Each one of the five
women offered a note in payment of
her fare, probably just to show that
the purses were not empty.-Philadel-

s
Make Himself Too Valuable.
What ! want to remark is that the
private secretary of an important otti-
cial Is good thing until he begins to
think he is the important official"
This was from man past middle
life, who sat with a knowing bunch
of politicians at the hotel. "Now," he
continued, Il was once elected mayor
of small city down east. In the race
for the honor l beat very fine old
gentleman, simply because he thought
it undignitied to solicit votes, while 1
got out and hustled as though my life
was st stake.
NO sooner was / elected than del
egation of my friends called upon me.
They informed me that l had shown
myself the most popular young man
in the community. l had made friends
right and left, and there was no limit
to my future prospects. But l was a
novice so l needed an old hand at the
business for my guide and counsellor
They had the man and | took him.
Il was just like tender plant try
ing to grow under a great, overshadow-
ing tree. My secretary was paternal
with paternal sterness. He wrote
proclamations, jumped on the council,
prepared speeches that did not suit my
ideas at all, had himself interviewed
every time he could hold up reporter,
and, first thing l knew, people on the
street We're addressing him as MIR.
Mayor
81 was in line for congress, all right
enough, if l had not submitted to the
indignity of playing tigurehead, but
when it came to the convention some
fellow got up and lauded my admin
istration to the skies. 1t was
something beyond adverse crith
cism. But justice must be
done though the heavens fell. My
private secretary had furnished the
brains and generalship, and he was
placed in nomination. / was simply
frozen out, and there never was cold
er political frost. / was out of politics
and have never been able to break in
since. If you must have n private sec
retary, pay him stipulated amount

part. But of this we said little, ex.
cept to Mr.. Mason, whose extrava-
CANT praise we vainly tried to modify.
On the evening of our departure for
home at the end of the school year,
we called at his store to say good
by. As usual at that hour he was
very busy, and consequently said
little, but shaking hands with each
and wishing US a pleasant journey, he
handed me sealed envelope, bear
ing the inscription, "Messrs. Croft
and Eaton-to be read after reaching
your destination"
We refrained frcm opening it until
we reached home, and then its con-
tents surprised US greatly. This is
what we read:
p, N. Y, Nov. 8, 1885.
Messrs. Croft and Eaton.
My Young Friends: At the time my
store was robbed said / would
give twice the value of the property
taken to see the rascals who took it
placed where they should be. Per-
haps you heard me say so. If you
did, quite likely you thought l had as
little intention of fulfilling my agree
ment in case of their capture as you
had at the time of capturing
them. l meant what | said. however.
and as a practical demonstration of
my sincerity and appreciation OF
your efforts in the matter, / herewith
enclose check-made payable to you
jointly--for two hundred dollars.
Very cordially yours,
Ephraim A Mason.
Moreover, he was n steady friend
to both of us as long as we attended
school in p, and indeed, as long as
he lived.-Youth's Companion.

Linens for Summer Wear.

Fancy linens of various degrees OF
sbeerness and softness are to be n
great feature of summer warIrobas.
In the pale pastel tints they make
most becoming and comfortable out
ing gowns, and keep fresh and clean
longer than do duck or pique, the
blues and pinks washing as we'll as
white. For yachting dresses much en-
broidery in black or white adorns
these costumes, and pip!ngs of white
or of contrasting color are some
times used with pleasing effect.
Elaborate costumes are also made
of linen in beige tint covered with
thick lace from neck to hem, made
either IN simple style with a pouched
bodice and narrow belt or with a
boIero, 4 vest of fine net or lace and
ribbon.
For thin shirtwaists and airy frocks
quantity striped and fowered India
muslins and lawns are shown in the
linen shops. Many of these come
from Ireland and France, and the de-
signs are none the less charming be-
cause they suggest delicate brocades
and even oldtime chintzes and Gre
tonnes. Both soft and bright colors
are shown in these patterns. One is
striped with a wreath design, with
delicate sprays tied with lovers knots.
another shows French stripes with
pink buds, and a third has white
ground powdered with sprays tied
with blue bows. A white India mus

'Women's organizations in Japan
are called societies rather than clubs"
said Ume Tsuda Of Toxic, in re-
cent letter to clubwoman OF New
York city. THE word club prejudices
many people, and so we prefer the
other term, society. Our work in
these societies is not much like club
work in America, partially because
our women are retiring and partially
because there is little social life or
any kind for our women. OF TOR men
and women together.
The Women's Educational society,
which meets once month, has for its
president Princess Mori. Its member
ship is about 500. The Sanitary
Both organizations have lecturers,
who occupy from one to two hours at
each session. The latter society has
between 300 and 400 members.
The character of the 1nterroga-
ton society rs more like that
of an American club. Its object is to
bring up useful topics for discussion.
AT each meeting an original paper is
read by one of the members, and this
is followed by discussion. This
society has about 80 active members.
"The Monday Club" which was
formed during the last year by a
number of foreign residents with
some prominent native women, has
for its purpose instruction and social
enjoyment. This meets every two
weeks during the season. y sho!S
lecture in either Japanese or English,
interpreted so that all may under
stand, is given at each meeting. The
membership Of this society is limited
to 80.
Our women, Of course, need eX-
perience and our work in these lines
is mere beginning. We are not used
to going about as American women
do, and for this reason it is difficult
to get the members to be regular in
attendance, even when they wish to
do their part faithfully. In my oDin-
ion the old social customs hinder the
progress of such work. l believe
much more can be done now to foster
a taste for intellectual pursuits ana
for social life through school work
and life among the young girls"

Norman Rallings of Deer Isle is IN
years old. He exhibits indications OF
returning vigor that are considered
marvellous. His eyesight for years
was SO feeble that he had to use the
strongest of glasses, and now he does
not use spectacles even to read. He
goes about without the use of any
cane, his lameness and stiffness en-.
tirely gone. The most remarkable evi.
dence of returning youth is i'll his hair.
Years ago Mr.. Rallings' hair began tc
fall out, and gradually fell out alto
gether, he becoming entirely bald. In
the last few months his hair has start
ed to grow, and he says he is certainly
growing young again and feels as
young now as at 10 years.-Lewiston
