BeMnre of High Chnirs.

A young lady of small stature recent
" tainted at a dinner given in her hon
or. 1t was then found that she had
not been able 10 touch either of her
feet TO the floor or her back TO the
chair, and the restricted circulation
and prolonged discomfort had finally
overcome her. An antiquarian traces
the present mania for high seats to
the fact that at the old French courts
sets of handsome furniture were ranged
along the walls for effect, but were new
er occupied. The chairs and sofas actu-
ally used We're much lower. Furniture
makers of today copy the more snowy
pieces and further enhance their inutil-
ity by spring cushions. The dictum of
a famous cabinet maker is that in
choosing chairs the knee of a person
standing should come clear above the
seat he intends 10 occupy.-Popular

A Novel Laundry Bag.

The newest laundry bag is a handy
receptacle and decidedly practical. In
addition to the familiar drawing
strings at the top, which allow the
bag TO be opened 10 lis full width or
drawn tightly together. there is a deep
flap straight across the bottom. which
is fastened with buttons and button
holes When it is desired 10 empty the
bag the flap is unhuttoned and the ar
ticles drop out, thus avoiding the ne
ceSsity Of dragging them through the
opening at the top. one bag of this
type seen recently was of broad check

The First BIuestocling.

About one hundred and thirty years
ago a Mrs. Montague who lived in
London introduced the fashion Of con
versation parties" which were very
enjoyable compared with the other
parties given then. Among the men
who attended these parties was Ben
jamin Stillingfieet, who wore blue
stockings. Some of the men thus nick
named the parties 'bluestecking
clubs" Soon the papers Were full Of
talk about the clubs. and many be-
lieved that the ladies who came wore
bluestockings. After awhile all stu
dious ladies We're called "bluestock-
ings," and today people often speak
Of some learned woman as a blue
stocking" a man was really the orig
inal "bluestocking." so the term ought
really to be applied to learned men
and not TO women.

Beautiful homemade glass windows

called gems, can be worked in with

A GIRLS CAREER.
Interesting Period Between the
Schoolroom and the Altar.

When a girl begins her social career
after completing her education, she
finds the world far different from
what she expected The schoolroom
is one thing, the world another. She
may have been popular with her teach
ers because she was diligent schol-
ar and carried off the honors of the
edge does not make her popular or sue
cessful socially.
Some of the most intellectual people
we have known have been among the
most disagreeable. \ woman whose
nature is aggressive who parades her
knowledge before those of inferior edu-
cation. is an object to be dreaded. Mere
learning in n woman is never attrac
tive. IL is. on the contrary. offensive
unless coupled with feminine graces.
School learning should sink into the
character and department and only ex
hibit itself as the perfume of a flower
is eXhibited-in subtle, nameless and
unobtrusiye manner
\ woman's intellectual requirements
should simply make her conversation
gracious and agreeable. Mathematics
should render her mind clear and her
judgments true. Her geographical
studies should teach her that the world
is too small for falseness To find hid
ing place, and history should impress
her that life is too short for unworthy
ambitions. The time between the
schoolroom and the altar should not be
mere harvest time Of pleasure, but
a sowing time for all the seeds of kind
ness and self sacrifice for others and
of unseltishness and benevolence which
alone can make her happy wife and
mother.-New York Weekly.

The Part of the Wife,

Never lavish your caresses, even
your attentions, on your husband when
you suspect that he is not in the mood
TO appreciate and enjoy them. The
most devoted and loving of husbands
has moments Of worry. In those
moments lie does not want the sweet
heart wife; he wants the discreet
friend, the cool headed counselor and
the partner and confdant that his
wife should be. The part Of wife is
many sided. Happy the husband who
possesses one whose versatility en-
ables her TO play the right part al the
right time.-EXchange

Paper bags come very handy often,

three nails about eight inches apart in
a row at convenient height from the

Putting Down Mating.

A housekeeper who has made the ex-
pertinent discovers that mating may
be sewed like carpet and put down
better and easier than in the usual
way with mating tacks. Undoubtedly
this method would increase the wear
of the mating if it We're necessary to
take it up often. One or two fittings
Of mating are apt to tear it unless the
greatest care is used.

Tight gloves are worse than tight
shoes. The shoes may give a dainty
look 10 the foot in spite OF the fortunes
endured, but tight gloves make the
hands fat and red and ugly. The flesh
bulges out and wrinkles form.
Gloves should be worn so easily fit
ting that rings may remain under
them. The red, creased look of the
palm when gloves are too tight is
abominable The maiden who wears
the glove is the only one who is de
iuded into the belief that her hand
looks well in it.

Refused TO Slave for Her

The trouble in the Showsway family
has been settled satisfactorially to all
concerned and now peace reigns su

Of herself and children, alleging that
Paul had not only compelled her TO do
az Indian tradition has taught from the
earliest history while her buck revelled
in peace on the banks of some stream
fishing or in the mountains
hunting deer--but had spent
the money received from his 300
or 400 acres Of land on the reservation
in riotous living and having good time.
To this procedure Mrs. Paul objected /;
especially the part Of having to earn the
substance for herself and children in
the sweat Of her own brow. She had
some Of the ideas Of the Goth century
woman aud che thought Paul should
"swest" II "sweating" had TO be done,
so she asked the court to give her a
divorce from Paul and decree her the
rent from enough Of the land to
insure her and the little Pauls
ample support in the future.
After thinking the matter over Paul
concluded that he did not want TO lose
his Peo- o-Wats.sommey aud they "buried
the hatchet" and settled their little diff.
Guilty with the result that the action for
4 divorce has been Withdrawn.
