put unfortunately many who consider
themselves ladies' and gentlemen do
not hesitate to repeat family secrets
that they find out, and to carry a trail
OF gossip with them from one house
TO another. Unfortunately there Is
no way to properly deal with these hui

remember when one starts to regale
You with the story of Mr.. and Mrs.
Blanks domestic squabbIes, or that she

she has been staying, drinks, or that

kins girl has been Tilted by young
Jones. that you will furnish the next
carcass for her to pick with her next
hostess, for the woman who is not
loyal tc her salt in one place is loyal
in none.
After all, however, when all is said,
the art of visiting and entertaining is
very simple. 1t is the duty of the guest
to be pleased and the duty of the hos
tess to be pleasing. If neither party
feels able to comply with the require
ments, they should neither visit nor
be visited.
People are apt to imagine, says the
New York Tribune, that the conditions
of weather. climate, ETC., they find
at country resort are it's usual con-
comitants. If during their stay warm
wave prevails it is in their opinion
the hottest place 10 America. If it is
cloudy, they say that the sun never
shines; if windy, that it is always
blowing; if cold, that it is bleak, etc.
In vain the inhabitants of the place,
deprecating such judgment, lake pains
to assure the polite but secretly un-
believing visitor that every unpleasant
state of the weather is most unprece-
dented.
''It is too bad that this extraordinary
hot wave has come just at this time"
they say. at is always cool here; this
heat is quite exceptional" Or, 1T is
most unusual to have successive days
of rain and mists like these; We are
generally remarkably free from fogs."

often breeds GOODNESS between host

house mistress, Indignantly, speaking
of a summers guest but he needn't

Even the best regulated places will
have these annoying little pests at
times, and it seemed particularly I'M

stopping with the F.'s during an UNI

the last of it, as her ungrateful visitor
repeats the story every season, al

1t goes without saying that D. md the
F.'s are no longer friends! Sometimes
the consequences are even more dis
astrous. A rather tactless young man
was visiting at the house of a certain
bank president. and, coming Gown

One walks with holy feet this worlds

Unseen, yet ever near;
Amid the crowd of sad and evil faces
One blessed. plying ear
Il ever listening to the bitter sounds
OF anguish and of strife;
He knows the woes and perils that sur

Each sinful, mournful life.
Oh! man of hardened brow and reck-

Thou with the felon's name,
He knows the steps that made thee

And thou, the child of shame,
On whom no holy influence ever fell,
An outcast from thy BIRTH
He longs to have thee come to Him and

Thy fearful strife with earth.
Not to the righteous did He come of old,
At such a priceless cost
Not to the sheep all safe within the

But to seek out the lost.
He ate with sinners and scorned not

And still His tender heart yearns over

When Cupid has refined manners, he
is delightful little god.
Matrimony is an enclosure into which
a. man and a woman are introduced by

each other to multiply their pleasures
and their happiness by two and to re-
duce their sorrows by half.
Marriage is also an institution when
makes a man and a woman one being
only. That's why they often feel so
lonely.
The tongue of woman ought to be
made to go seven times round her
mouth before being allowed to utter
sound.
There are moments in the life of a
woman when she ceases to have control
over herself, and when she commits
mistakes which cause irretrievaple
unhappiness to her husband and to
