When She Is Invited Out.

There is q certain girl in town who
thinks that when man invites q friend
of her sex out to dinner he should ode
clare himself'-that is, he should give her
to understand whether or not she has
carte blanche to order all she wants to
eat and drink, irrespective of the cost.
This fair one feels that she has a per-
sonal grievance and therefore has a right
to complain.
A young man from out Of town invited
the fair damsel, her sister and their aunt
to dine with him the other day, and the
invitation was accepted with some mis-
givings. "The young man doesn't look
especially opulent," confided the girl to
friend, "and never heard that he was
rich, so oil three Of us, with feminine
precipitation, instantly jumped to the
conclusion that he had to struggle to
keep the wolf from the door and ordered
accordingly. was fearfully hungry, but
l took all the reasonable things on the
menu. the scrappy things really did not
care much about, and put away from me
the more expensive viands as out Of the
question.
Louise and Aunt Effie did the same,
and poor Mr.. Blank nearly had apoplexy
in his rage at what he called our birdlike
appetites. When he came to pay for that
meal, he pulled roll OF bank notes from
his pocket as big as your wrist, and since
l have heard that he is a millionaire and
that to him dinner to three women at
a fashionable restaurant is a mere baga-
tele
Maybe l haven't regretted my wasted
opportunity" said the frivolous maid,
"and perhaps l haven't sighed over the
delicacies that did not consume on that
Hateful night, but shall have nothing to
regret in the future. III just frankly ask
the next person who invites me to dine
with him what his circumstances are and
act accordingly; that's what l will do"
And the frivolous maid nodded her head
quite as if she really meant it.-Chicago

self and her personal appearance will
never make an impression. An attractive
woman will in every case precede her.
Don't get the idea that it is wrong or
that it is vanity. No woman can afford
to be without this, which is her greatest
power. 1t gives her influence, something
that all persons like to possess, says an
observer of human nature in the Pitts
burg Press. Every woman should cult
vate her beauty, but she should not allow
pride to enter her heart because of it.
Nature is kind and will abundantly re-
Ward those who make free use of her
gifts. She has bestowed some mark of
beauty upon every one. Each of us is
single individual endowed with something
that no other has, for, while Mother Ma
ture is kind, yet she is partial, and she is
fond of variety; consequently she has not
given two persons exactly the same mark

to know the millner's oldest secret, and
the thing is done.
Did you ever notice the softest drapery
of pure white hung about mirror?
That is the trick.
After your mirror of faultless glass is
thoroughly polished frame it in pure
white gauze, with the material gathered
in the center at the top and falling wave

Then notice the effect. The true tints
of the complexion will be there-a little
emphasized. The expression of the coun-
tenance, the light of the eye, the color Of
the hair, will be accurately reflected, all
softened and made more harmonious than
your mirror showed them before the
gauze was used.
You may believe that that subtle bit of
white material makes the glass tell near
er the truth than il did without it.-Phil-

/ Gently returned from the Phil
ippines. mentions as a cheer
ing sign that the natives are turning
toward civilization the fact that the
Tagalo women are beginning to wear
stockings.
OF the same grade is this intelligent
judgment with the wise deduction that

had at length succeeded in getting
them into corsets. Behind both conclu-
sions is the stupendous assumption.

that the white mans ways are the best
ways in every cline and the only civ
ilized ways. Why, bless the American
general those very Tagalo women
whom he pats on the back for wearing
stockings could give him points on true
civilized attire in the tropics that he
never dreamed of! In those boiling hot
climates the clothing at once the most
comfortable and healthful is that which
lets the air breathe upon the skin most
freely. This is the only civilized garb
for the tropics. The Tagalo women,
with their legs and ankles bare and
their little brown feet bare, too, or
thrust into toe slippers, are attired as
to their lower limbs in a manner both
sanitary and scientific. Is not this the
very essence of the cure inaugurated
by Father Kneipp? Who has not seen
his disciples traipsing barefoot and
bareheaded through the grass, with the
dew on it, in the dawn? If you would
learn what health and luxury, at least
for your feet mean, go barefoot upon
the grass awhile every day during your
summer vacation.
Americans suffer greatly with their
feet in the Philippines, where they con-
tinue At first TO wear their high, heavy
leather shoes. 1t is so hot that in the
wet season fungous growth sprouts
overnight inside and outside of these
leather shoes. They are damp and un-
pleasant all the time. The Tagalo,
man or woman, never has corn.
Think of the agony that would be
spared to white womankind il it could
be rid of its corns!
The general with the same brilliant
and discriminating perspicacity finds
further deep encouragement for the
progress of civilization in the fact that
the Tagalo women are also beginning

Keeping MIX and Butter.

The Jewish law which forbids that
milk and butter shall be kept IN the same
place with meat is, like most Of their
dietetic rules, wise one. Milk especial
ly absorbs impurities readily and should
always be kept covered. The ice should
be wrapped in a blanket, unless kept In a
compartment TO itself, and never allowed
to touch the meat it is used TO preserve.
When ice is scarce, butter may be kept
firm by means Of evaporation. Set the
bowl or crock containing 1t in a dish, with
cold water TOT depth of an inch. and

next best to linen-letting the ends Of the

Dress of Business Women.

Business women of large cities in this
country are as a class very well dressed
that is to say. they are well dressed for
their position. Pick out any business
woman on the street, and she will be
found almost invariably to be wearing
some kind Of simple skirt and jacket,
well made as a rule, quiet and in good
taste. She wears wash shirt waists in
summer and wooden ones in winter.
Most OF the color in her costume she puts
into her hats and, while those are not
strictly OF the tailor made or shirt waist
order, they are seldom trimmed with un-
suitable fripperies. 1t is certainly ex-
cusable il the girl who works six days in

a hat that is becoming to her. 1t may be

they are well dressed.-Chicago News.
