TRUE BUT NOT COMPLIMENTARY

At fashionable representative ban quet in London, to which Lord Morris was invited, a member of the then cabinet undertook to enlighten the company on the Irish question. For some time he seemed to be quite ob- livious to his lordship's presence. At length he said:
 Well Chief Justice, what do you think of the Irish difficulty?"
 Lord Morris availed of the opportun- ity to avenge the slight which he thought had been cast upon him. He replied Its q case, do you see, my lord, of very stupid people trying to govern very clever people against their will, and there'l always be a difficulty about that"
 That's not very complimentary, : was the rejoinder.
 Lord Morris retorted, No, but it's true, my lord. and that's better than complimentary. ."-The Gael

A woman who has had experience with this disease tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Cham berlains Cough Remedy they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other chil- dren whose parents did not use this remedy.

Beyond peradventure fashion rules;
but who rules fashion? This question
Nancy NJ. w. Woodrow seeks to an
swer in the Cosmopolitan. She ex-
plains that in England Queen Alexan-
dra is leader Of the mode. When the
Queen, then Princess, donned high
jeweled collar to hide Disagreement
of the neck, almost every English
woman of fashion fitted her neck to
the yoke like an obedient OK"
"On this side of the water we have
no official arbiter of modes, no courts
or royalties to determine the disputed
issues of fashion. Nevertheless, there
is in this country a standard as fixed
as that of England or France. In each
of our large cities one or more women
are recognized as social leaders, whose
fiat on questions of etiquette and pre-
cedence is all-supreme; but it is to
a little ccterie in the metropolis,
whose wealth, position, beauty and
taste render them independent of cayil
or criticism, that we look for guidance
in the matters of fashion.
AS muCu at uOulS oll Oie VI
the Atlantic as on the other, these
women are entirely free from the diff
fidence of Pre- C3incialism; and, gifted
with unerring discrimination, they in
variably select what best accords with
their own preferences, serenely re-
gardless of how the rest of the world
may look upon the innovation. AS a
matter of fact, the rest of the world
usually tumbles over itself in its
haste to follow in their footsteps.
These are the women who form
the oligarchy Of fashion in America,
the supreme council before whose bar
the conceptions of tailor and milliner
and bootmaker must stand, to be
either adjudged worthy or ruthlessly
condemned and cast into outer dark
ness"

A young woman who has been liv-
ing in Paris for year says that no
French manicure who treated her
hands used a cuticle knife about her
nails or a steel nail-cleaner. The little
orange-wood sticks sharpened to a
broad point were used ito push back
the encroaching cuticle, and to clean
the nails after each washing of the
hands. In this way the delicate en-
amel of the nail is not injured, and
the under surface of the nail point is
kept smooth. The French manicures,
too, polish more often with bit of
chamois rather than a regular pol
Usher, and cut the nails with a clipper
instead of curved scissors These clip
\ gers come in pairs, one for cutting
vthe nails of each hand. Emery boards
or velvet file is recommended for the
little filing needed to shape the nails.
Never cut the cuticle around the nail,
but press back lightly with the orange
wood stick. Daily brief care when the
nail is soft from the use of soap and
water is all that is needed to keep
the hands in good condition with a
weekly mancuring. Use lemon juice
instead of any other acid to remove
stains.-Harper's Bazaar.

A clever New York woman, who
has succeeded as a house decorator,
is now developing a novel adjunct to
her business, which is finding hearty
cooperation from the real estate
dealers. To sell or lease a house or
apartment, agents have discovered
that interior appearance at the time
of inspection greatly facilitates.
There is more money to be made in
proportion out of rental Of fur
nished house or apartment than from
those unfurnished. People who go to
New York merely for a season or two
desire artistic settings ~-Iich are out
of their reach save at large expendi-
ture. This clever woman has accu-
mulated large assortments of antique
furniture, picked up at auction for a
song, and she is an acknowledged con-
nosseur. This furniture she leases tc
guaranteed parties She co-operates
with firm of women real estate deal
ers. The latter, for example, have an
apartment which rents unfinished
for $50; the decorator fits it up with
her antiques, which give the appear
ance of wealth, and the rent rises to
say 500. Fifty dollars monthly soon
pays the decorator for the outlay and
once the furniture is paid for, repairs
excepted, it may be rented repeatedly
at clear profit. Lit is stated that the
two apartments fitted up in this man
ner paid for the furniture in less
than thrpa months and Increased the
business of the agents to such an ex-
tent that they are unable to meet the
demands for such apartments.

Paris critics are now enthusiastic
over a 16-year old girl whose marvel
GUS singing and acting seem to prom
ise for her a great future. Her name
is Marthe Pierat, and she made her
debut at the Odeon. On the day after
her first appearance the Paris jour
nails eulogized her voice, her acting
and her beauty, until the name Sec
ond Bernhardt" has come to be quite
commonly applied to her. 1t is stated
she takes her triumph calmly and al
together as matter of course, but
her friends say that she is in no
danger Of being spoiled by early ad-
miration. She is a conscientious
artist, with ambition, energy and ten
acity. Her beauty is said to be fas-
cinating, and the simplicity and nat
uralness of her manners would have
lmade her famous even had she not
been blessed with the additional gifts
of musical and histrionic ability.

Glasses for the Table.

Nowadays the fashion is to serve a
different type of glass with each
course at dinner, and thereby display
the varying beauties of shape, coloring
and engraving of ones lavish store.
Some hostesses, who do not go quite
to these lengths, have adopted differ
ent sets of glass to match their various
sets of china, and new and fashion
able painted glass TOR dinner parties
has come recently into use.
The crystal is very bright and thin,
end adorned with a green, red or blue
band at the edge of the bowl and on
the edge of the foot, and the owners
initial and some heraldic device are
Tainted on the side of every piece.
This is highly ornamented, but care
must be taken not to use red-banded
glass with blue china service, else
there will DC anarchy in the carefully
elaborated decoration of the table.
Furthermore, it is not considered
tasteful, to say the least, to use one
set of glass straight through meal.

"Iatless Girl" in Town.

"The dean of Chicago university
has pronounced against the 'hatless
girl" said woman at the seashore.
at is exceedingly difficult to see just
where the summer maiden vexes pro-
priety by her pleasant habit of going
hatless on warm evening, or why,
when she carries parasol, or travels
along country lanes or village streets
I'm q covered phaeton on a summers
day, it is also necessary to burden her
head with hat. Custom is curious
thing. A woman is urgently besought
to remove her hat in the theatre, and
reviled for not doing so; and she may
go to balls with a wisp of lace over
her coiffure or sit hatless in her own
yard. But the air of the street sud
denly renders the hatless girl improp-
er. No women in the world have
been so chained to the hat as those Of
America. Women of the southern
races have always been Independent
of a head covering when they chose,
and summer heat throughout the
United StateS, though not as long con-
tinued, is as torrid as in countries
nearer the equator. Furthermore, no
hat is prettier than a pretty head Of
hair, and nothing improves the latter
more than sun and air.-New York

The electric lamp has kept pace
with the development along artistic
lines that is apparent in all branches
OF household fitments. The incandes-
cent lamp is now admitted to the din
ing table, although until recently the
incandescent burner was thought to
shed too pitiless a glare to be desir-
able for dining table illumination. The
glare has been ingeniously softened,
and at a recent dinner the electric
lamp, which occupied the centre of
the table was the most effective decor
alton that could be imagined. The
pedestal and supporting column were
OF silver gilt, around which were
grouped charming female figures in
French bisque. The incandescent
burners were shaded by glass globes
in soft hue of rose; these in turn
were veiled with numberless strings
of pearls in rose-white tint, and the
light shone through with q softened
glow that was lightful-Brooklyn

to see cucumbers spoiled by lying on
the ground, placed before the world
climbing variety that grows on
pores and which, like the Frenchman's
strawberries, bears continually until
killed by frost.
The struggle for supremacy in the
various lines continued, and slowly,
like the tortoise, the humble onion
pressed forward for recognition. Spain
produced a large onion that was fine
grained, of mild flavor, and almost
white. The native onion growers
thought it was fine and that they could
turn out something just as good, if
not better. They tried and succeeded,
and during the proper season the
fine, big white onions on sale in all
the fancy fruit stores, which the deal
ers call Spanish onions, are the re-
suit of that effort. They are Spanish
onions only to the uninitiated buyer,
for they have been no nearer Spain
than Long Island or New Jersey,
where they are grown.
Despite the fact that these onions
are often Is inches around, and grow
Sc freely that close to 1000 bushels
of them have been taken from sin
gle acre, they are so mild and tender
that any one can eat them without
ill-effect. Physicians regard them with
much favor, because they induce a
natural sleep, and patients who could
by no means eat the ordinary, strong
onion can partake of them freely. AS
it is, the homegrown product today
excels all the onions brought from
abroad, not excepting the far-famed
onions of Bermuda.
What has been told here simply
furnishes an idea of the great prog
ress made in this humble line of in
dustry. Every vegetable on the mar
ket has been improved so greatly

Although the famine over the greater
part of Rajputana, Gujerat and the
central Indian states is less widespread
than hitherto, there will nevertheless
be much suffering during the next few
months, and 100000 people are already
on government relief works. The rats
have to a large extent disappeared,
but have destroyed considerable por-
ton of the cotton crop. The inhabi'-
tants of Gujerat are convinced that
the rats are reincarnations of their
friends who died in the last famine,
and it is for this reason that the Brit
ish officials have found it impossible
to get any assistance in destroying the
pests.-London Mail.
