Games of had Manners.

The good fortune of the American
girl doubtless leads to her want of
polite manners. Accustomed to hav-
ing her town way" devoid of defer
ence and respect for her parents, or
for anyone else, not sensitive to the
feelings of others, because she has
not been trained to observe them, the
American girl goes on her way re-
joicing, and does not realize the care
less selfishness Of her attitude un-
til she finds herself, perhaps. with
very few friends and no admirers.
There are two characteristics which
contribute largely to the development
of bad manners. Inc first is just
plaic, common, everyday selfishness,
a vice shared in ny the whole human
race. The other finds in our coun-
try it's peculiar and especial home.
I mean irreverence.-Ada {. Sweet, in
Woman's Home Companion.

idea Of the "samurai'' (linights) was
that it was etfeminate to feel cold,
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do.
The wearing of some extra 'kimo-
nos'' and the use of ''nibachi" or
brazicr, in which are a few tiny
sticks Of lighted charcoal, are the
only conce ssions to winter weather.

THE IDEAL HOUSEWIFE.
Ono NEo Ioyscshcs tEe Rest IEtcl-
lcctunl Equipment and ls Com
hcicntiOuY in Her Work.

Though household methods are
changing as the years go by and man
ufacturers of various foods now as
sist the housekecper in ways that
were unknown a score of years ago,
the difference between good and bad
housekeeping is just as apparent to-
day as it ever was, says the New
York Tribune. Even in remote dis
tricts of the land the bakers cart
now brings bread to the door, and
the family are not compelled to sub
sist on bread which is "a compound
of putty and lead' as they were in
old times, if the weeks baking at
home went awry. We store our sup
plies for the table for short term,
for grocery stores and markets are
near at hand; but the housewife who
allows her sugar bucket to become
empty or finds herself compelled to
send for pound of butter lust be-
fore dinner is just as reprehensble
as in old times when, if supplies ran
short, she must sometimes wait
weeks for them. The absence of
housewifely thought and care is just
as manifest. the sense Of scrambling
and hand to hand methods just as
apparent in one case as in the
other.
The ideal housewife needs the very
best equipment of faculties, intellec-
tual and moral. She must be of the
highest type Of womanhood in order
to fulfill her duties in their highest
manner. Bad housekeeping has the
smrch Of disgrace which belongs to
selfshness, want of thought for 9TH
ers, and want of regard for duty
which no good woman should will
ingly attach to herself. Tt has be-
housekeeping as beneath the consid-
GRAFTON Of fine mind or noble
spirit. This high sounding talk is
contradicted by history. That nation
is in the highest social condition
which has the most perfect homes,
where woman's work as homemaker
and conserver of home is most
marked. The glory of England is in
it's homes, where English women arc
practical housekeepers and active
rulers of the households; where serv-
ants are so trained and work is so
systematize1 that it is not unbcar-
able drudgery.
\ little hard, uncongenia1 work
must fall to the lot of all Of us who
do our duty faithfully. Neither man
nor woman is saved from it. vet we
hear vastly more about the drudgery
Of woman's work than Of mans. Yet
the average man must find that a
great deal Of his work is not "worthy
of the consideration of fine mind
or noble spirit 1t is drudgery pure
and simple, but it is work that he
must do. Are women quite sure that
they are Influenced by any more
noble motive when they seek to avoid
homework than simple Incidence ant
slothfulness?
'"rhe lives good for most people an6
intended for them" says a great mod
ern writer, "are the lives of sheer
and robins, and they may be every
evening and morning thankful that
they have fields to lie down in and
banks to build nests in, and are not
called by Heaven to the sorrow OF

COURTESY TOWARD CHILDREN.
Conduces in Great Measure to
Agreeable Annexation and
plenxurc in the Home.

Great injury is done not only to
the present happiness of children but
to their future character and con-
duct by lack of politcness in our in
tercourse with them, says the Ledger
Monthly. Their possessions are their
own. How often do we forget that!
They are ridiculous trif1es, they are
worthless and in our way, yet we
have no right to throw them out and
burn them, without warning or con-
sultation. A sisters or an aunt's
gentle persuasions will do much to
gain pleasant consent to yielding up
the treasures which cucumber too
much space or are laid down in i'm
proper places. A box or basket pro-
vided to hold these priceless sticks
and stones, and once or twice lit
tic pleasant aid in gathering them,
and the collector will be gained over
to what he sees will surely preserve
his property and at the same time
the little fellow will have learned re-
spect for other peoples property and
the proper way to ask leave to touch
and handle.
While mothers are busy with their
often overwhelming duties, it often
happens that to an elder sister much
care of the children who arc able to
amusc themselves is given, and here
she will have a delightful chance to
help them to acquire the attractive
manner which is such a help in fu-
turc life, and give them practical
demonstrations of the comfort and
Joy of home governed by courtesy
to old and young alike.

FINERY FOR THE SEASON.
Dressy Details Nf Gowns for Summer
Wear-Soft Textures Will BE
Much in Favor,

A style of gown in favor just low
consists of a silk coat made after
the Louis XIV. style, worn with an
elaborate skirt, made of some thin
material, says a fashion exchange.
Pale blue and black are having a
great Juror in Paris. There is really
nothing prettier or daintier than pale
blue. There is a perfect rage for
pale blue straw and tulle hats, all
pale blue excepting touch OF black
velvet and rhinestone ornament.
For petticoat to wear during the
summer there is probably nothing
cooler than thin silk or light weight
alpaca, these, of course, where serv-
ice as we'll as GOODNESS is desired.
Very pretty wash ones are made of
fine madras and mercerized linen, in
fresh, delicate colors.
Chiffon is used in many of the Cir
dies for dressy gowns; 1t is laid in
full folds on taffeta foundation;
the latter does not extend further
than the knot in front, then the two
chiffon ends fall below the knees and
are finished with silk fringe or tas-
sells of gold.
Taffetas will still be in favor, but
extremely soft in texture, and maiiy
with printed patterns. Then there
are shot taffetas, with all the col
ors of the rainbow. There is an in
quiry for taffetas of certain periods.
The Lyons manufacturers arc turn
ing out silks that are simply mar
velous, for they are copied from
Louis XVI. and 1890 designs, COM
bined with modern softness, which
gives them quite a new aspect.
The newest silk waists for after
noon and dinner are of silk strapped
perpendicularly with lace insertion,
put on as a yoke, to simulate bo-
elro, or with the straps of lace ex-
tending to the belt. The sleeves are
strapped in like manner, and may
be gathered into a band at the wrist,
OVERLAND with lace or cut in pagoda
shape, elbow length, and finished
with puffed undersleeves of lace net.

MINISTER WITS RECALL.

PEKING, October 23.-There is strong
opposition among conservative Chinese
officials to WI Ting Fang, Chinese Min
lister at Washington, retaining a foreign
mission. Those who take this view
consider that his popularity abroad Is a
proof that he is not sufficiently loyal
to the interests of China. 1t is prob
able that he will be recalled and given
position on the new Board of Foreign
Affairs, where his linguistic and legal
attainments may be utilized under the
eye of the Government.
WASHINGTON, October 23.-Mr. WI
the Chinese Minister, listened attentive
ly as reporter read to him tonight the
Picking dispatch telling Of the opposi-
ton which has developed there to him
continuing as a representative Of the
Covenant abroad. He manifested no
little surprise at the statement it con-
tained, and appeared nonplused at the
conclusion drawn that his popularity in
the United States was an evidence of a
lack of loyalty to the interests of his
Government. Mr.. WI said it had al
ways been his effort to do the very best
he could on behalf of his country and
people. He declared he had not re-
ceiyed any intimation that his Govern
ment was dissatisfied with him or that
he probably would be recalled. He de-
clined to be drawn into any extended
discussion of the matter.
