The Care Of Bed Linen.

Snowy whitcness Is a desideratlun in
sheets and pillow cases Bed linen is
so often Improperly laundered that a
word or two on the subject will not
come amiss. Bed linens should be
washed separately from the other
laundry work and no starch should be
used. If ironed while still quito damp
there will be sufficient stiffness given
TO the sheets to make them appear
well and they will certainly prove fal
more comfortable to the sleeper than
If starch We're used. Do not fail to
have the bed linen thoroughly aired
and dried before it is put away in
piles in a close closet.
With fresh and dainty bed linen the
matter Of making an attractive bed
becomes an easy task. 1t is remarka-
bic how few people know how to make
a bed in an attractive manner. Never
spread up" n bed. Every morning
the covers should all be removed and
the clothing hung in such way that
a fresh current OF air can pass through
At' AAC lhaAAA Cos olOuANA DC luAnGl bO
tat the air can also reach every part
of 1t, and before making the bed the
position Of the mattress should be
changed so that the wear shall rot
fall upon the same part.
One Of the first requisites for a we'll
made bed is that the sheets should be
Of ample length. Allow plenty Of ma.
terial 80 that the sheets may be well
tucked in at the sides and foot. There
should be Mt least three pairs Of sheets
provided for each bed. Three pairs of
pillow cases, three bolster cases and
two white spreads for everyday use
will prevent awkwardness in case of
sickness Care should be taken to keep
the bed in the guest room attractively
arranged.

Miss Silvia Alfonso Talks Entertaininsly
of Her Country Women.
Some interesting comments upon Gu
ban women were made by Miss SILVIA
Alfonso of Havana, while on a VISIT
to New York City. Since the Amcrl-
cans have entered Havana In such
numbers. she says, Cuban girls have
noticeably begun to copy many Of the
ways of American women. They w2re
formerly exceedingly quiet and domes-
tic in their habits, seldom seen in the
streets. except when necessary, and
travelling little. Now they remain
less secluded, appear frequently in
public places and are beginning more
generally to travel for pleasure.
Really, they are taking quite an in
terest in sports now" continued Miss
Alfonso, "but they hardly think it
proper to ride bicycles yet. Some of
them tried it for q while, but our life
is so different from yours that no lady
with marked stress on this world
likes to be seen on a bicycle. NO,
they do not play golf, but some of the
girls are fond of tennis,and play well"
Miss Alfonso laughingly secuted the
idea of the starting of any womens
clubs in Cuba for some time to come
Public and even private schools are
practically unknown, Miss Alfonso
states, but girls Of means are usually
educated in their homes by private
teachers and governesses. She was
educated herself in this way in Ha-
yana. Occasionally parents send
their children to New York City or to
some foreign city to be educated.
Science and mathematics enter little
into a girls education, but much at
tentlon is paid to the study Of Ian
guages.
"Oh, nearly everybody Of education
can speak English" Miss Alfonso ex-
claimed, and French as well. We
think 1t a great accomplishment to
speak well in many languages. And
the young women do a great deal OF
painting, and, of course, beautiful en-
brOidery. They are always taught
singing and piano playing and all
things Of that sort"
On being asked whether the women
were interested in charitable or phil
anthropic work, she admitted that
many Of them were. A popular method
among them Of raising money for
these objects is to give a ball, at
which the patrons pay literally
The beauty contests, such as that
in which Miss Alfonso was elected
queen, occur Only once in three OF four
years, being conducted by some Ha-
vana newspaper. Occasionally a ball
is given to the newly elected queen,
and no little excitement reigns for the
time among the young girls prominent
in society, for no married woman Is
eligible for votes in these contests.

1IInts For IIanglng Plctures.

An old rule for hanging pictures was
that water-colors, blacks-and-whites
and oils should not be hung in the
same room, but this rule Is rarely re-
garded now, 1t is, however, inartisttc
TO see them arranged in the same
group, and little care will easily
avoid it. 1t has come to be pretty
well understood that pictures should
not be hung on a level, though this rule
does not mean that there should be no
symmetry or plan in the grouping.
Too heavy pictures should not TOP
very light ones; a natural sense OF pro-
portion must be regarded. With this
general idea in mind square, obhong
and oval pictures may be satisfactorily
arranged, always promising that the
pictures are worth hanging in any
event.

Furs For Cool DAYS.

There has been some effort in the fur
world to popularize in fur the long
coat so stylish in cloth. But when in
buying women feel their weight their
choice usually falls upon the short
jacket. This latter, in length from
eighteen to twenty-four inches, in
Persian lamb or seal, will be the pop
ular fur jacket Of the coming season.
Collar and revers of chinchllla, mink
or sable will be their universal ad-
iunct. A new touch is given this years
revers by "dccking." Hitherto revers
have always been fiat, but the new
ones have a graceful curve that is an
entirely new feature. Fitted backs
with fuller skirts will also mark the
new fur jackets.
Neck scarfs will continue to be as
much worn as formerly, and that
leaves nothing more to be said. The
latest shape is reyersible-may be
worn fat or turned up like a storm
collar. Late neck scarfs range in
length from twenty to forty inches,
the longer ones, however. being worn
by more elderly women.
Lynx, which Is q fine silky black, is
the correct and fashionable fur for
mourning wear.
Seal, Russian sable, baby lambskin,
sea otter, brown marten. stone marten,
pine marten, silver fox, blue fox and
chinchilla form a quite comprehensive
list Of the stylish furs for the winter
The round barrel-shaped or sO-called
granny" muffs are still to remain in
mode. They are to be, if anything,
larger than ever in the same furs to
match tie neck piece, sable. stone
marten, ehinchllla, etc, being the
vogue.
Fur bands Of seal. crmine, chinchilla,
sable and mink, in both wide and mar
row widths, will be very swagger for

collars of fur are also almost indispen-

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
Political Sanction Of wh.< AZ,
Agreed to Bs Good Thing.

Holtttcal Sanction of What All
Agreed to De q Good Thing.
One of the latest writings Of the late,
Charles Dudley Warner was an ESSAY
for The Century, entitled '.The Pursuit
Of Happiness"
Perhaps the most curious and inter-
esting phrase ever put into public
document is the pursuit Of happiness"
1t Is declared to be an inalienable
right. 1t cannot be sold. It cannot be
given away. 1t Is doubtful IL 1t could
be left by will.
The right Of every man to be 6 feet
high and of every woman to be 5 feet
was regarded as self evident until wo-
men asserted their undoubted right to
be feet high also, when some confu-
sion was introduced into this interpre-
tatlon of this rhetorical fragment Of
the eighteenth century.
But the inalienable right to the MIR.
suit Of happiness has never been cues
toned since 1t was proclaimed as
new gospel for the new world. The
American people accepted It with en-
thusiasm. us IL 1t had been the discoy-
cry of gold prospector, and started
out In the pursuit as If the devil were
after them.
II the proclamation had been that
happiness is common right of the
race, alienable or otherwise; that NIL
men are or may be happy, history and
tradition might have interfered to raise
doubt whether even the new form of
government could so change the ethical
condition. But the right to make
pursuit of happiness given in funda-
mental bill Of rights had quite a differ
cnt aspect. Men had been engaged in
many pursuits, most Of them disas-
trous, some of them highly commenda-
BILE. A sect in Galilee had set up the
pursuit OF righteousness as the only or
the highest object Of mans immortal
powers. The rewards of 1t, however.
were not always Immediate. Here was
n political sanction of pursuit that
everybody acknowledged to be of a
good thing.
