Her satisfaction in saying mo" when
she means yes
The saving in human life through
the absence of bad cookery.
The objectionable clause in the mar
rage service relating to obedience.
Her natural unseltishness places the
happiness of the man she loves be-
fore her .own, and she remains single.
GOLDEN ROD
When the wayside tangle blaze
In the low September sun,
When the flowers of summer days
Droop and wither, one by one,
Reaching up through bush and brier,
Sumptuous brow and heart of lire,
Haunting high its wind-rocked plume,
Brave with wealth of native bloom
Goldenrod!
When the meadow, lately shorn,
Parched and lapguid, swoons with
pain
When her likelihood. night and morn,
Shrinks in every throbbing vein,
Round her fallen, furnished urn
Leaping watch-fires brighter burn;
Royal arch DER autumns gate
Bending low with lustrous weight
Goldenrod!
In the pastures rude embrace
All o'errun with tangled vines,
Where the thistle claims its place,
And the struggling hedge confines,
Bearing still the sweet impress
OF unfettered loneliness,
In the field and by the wall,
Binding, clasping, browning all
Goldenrodl
Nature lies disheveled. pale,
With her feverish lips apart
Day by day the pulses fail,
Nearer to her bounding heart;
Yet that slackened grasp doth hold
Store of pure and genuine gold;
Quick thou contest, strong and free,
Type of all the wealth to be
Goldenrod

This is a secret most men would give
their most cherished possessions to
know and yet, from a woman's point
of view, very few things were ever
more simple.
You may know if a girl likes you by
the way she behaves when you meet
her Don't be taken in by the mere
fact that she changes color. Girls do
that from thousand different causes,
and there is no reason why she should
be in love with you merely because she

But there will come a look of pleas

how hard she tries to conceal it. If
she looks downcast and sad when you

those signs.

doesn't like you. Did you ever happen
to wonder why it is that she so con-
stantly wears your favorite color or
the Hover you like best, asks a writer
in the New Orleans Picayune. Prob
ably your masculine mind hasn't
grasped the fact that that is a clear
sign she wants to please you, and we
| don't trouble to please those we don't
! like.
| Does she hear everything you say,
| even when you are speaking to some
one else? Does she find it impossible
| to look happy when you talk so much
to other people and don't devote your
| self to her? Does her voice sound
sweeter when she addresses you than
in ordinary conversation? And when
you dare to hold her hand a moment
longer than strict conventionality de-
mands, does she let it linger in your
| clasp and not draw it away?
Does she let you crush her prettiest
ball gown unrebuked, and give you a
| flower from those she is wearing,
| though it spoils the effect of her cos
| tune? Then indeed, you may think.
In European countries many more
women than in the United States are
able to afford the luxury of a lady
maid. In this country lady's maid is
an indulgence limited almost entirely
| to the rich.
The explanation of the difference is
| twofold. So far as her own compen-
sation is concerned, a maid in Europe
| is very much cheaper than in the Unit
| ed States Here the compensation of
| a good ladys maid varies from $40 to
| $50 a month. In Europe a well-trained
| maid may be had for half the amount
| paid here.
But. says the New York Sun, it is
not alone the question of her wages
| that makes an American maid lux
ury. There is also the fact that there
| Is no provision in the scheme OF Amer
| lean life for a maid.
In hotels board for the maid will
| cost at least half the sum demanded
| for her mistress. American hotels have
| no rooms set apart for servants and
| the maid is expected to take her place,
SO fer as her lodging goes, among The
guests.
There is no hotel of the first class in
| New York at which a maid may be
lodged for less than SIS a week. This
does not of course include the hotels
! in which apartments are rented by the
| year. There she may be lodged in the
| apartment, while her meals will prob
| ably cost from IS to $40 a week.
| Putting these sums together, it will
be seen that a maid in New York, I'M
| less she lives in the home of her en-
| blowers. will not cost much less than
| SIS a month. That sum is of course out
of all proportion to the service she per-
! forms. A person who travels to any
extent will find that a maid costs, at
| the least, 500 a month. And that is
| the result of the absence from the
scheme of life in this countryof any
provision for the lady's maid.
In Europe women of very moderate
| means go about with maids, and if
they belong to a certain social class 1t
! is considered necessary for them to
have this bodyguard. They are enabled
to have maids because provisions for
! servants are made in all the hotels
and on the railroads. 1t is by no means
unusual in Europe to see the mistress
| travelling first class and the maid trav-
| cling in a second class carriage.
The maids most In demand in New
York to-day are the Swedes. There are
| fewer French maids than formerly,
and the few English maids to be found
| IN New York are usually employed Oe-
