KISSING CHILDREN.

The kissing of children is far too common. People think they have a right to kiss a child, but the practice is to be discouraged as much as possible. So, also, should the too common prac- tice of children kissing each other that is, kissing strange children-be discouraged on hygienic grounds. It does no good, and it may do harm. Children are specially susceptible to contagious diseases, and no precaution is too trif1ing in their case. Whatever may be said against the bacillus, a knowledge of it's presence and habits has done much to throw light upon dis eases the catching of which was be- fore quite inexp1icab1e. Therefore let kissing in future be done, on strictly antiseptic principles.''

MISS BRADDON.

It is not generally known that Miss Braddon has been devoted to literary work since 1860. It was in that year that her first novel appeared. The Trail of the Serpent was published in serial form, and from that time up till the, present day many interesting mar ratives from her pen have been pub lished. Miss Braddon, who was born in London, received her education at home. She has a delightful house at Richmond, England, and another in the New forest, from which she pays fre- quent visits to Bournemouth. Miss Braddon is fond of music and Is also much interested in gardening.

today. The last one heard upon our stage was Mime. Janauschek's.' l It is plain Mrs Fiske is of opinion that we ought to have the facile act- ing, the great woman parts, the voices | with the organ tone in them and the l magnifcently, electrically illuminated scenic spectac cles, too in the modern theater, and perhaps we may have by and by.
 asked her if she thought the stage offered as good field to young women as to young men for earning living and securing advancement. She thinks
 it does. also that women receive as good pay as men for the like grade of work. Here, then, is one wage earning field in which women are not discrin1i-
 mated against. Furthermore, it may interest ambitious girls with dramatic
 aspirations to know that this distin- guished woman scouts with fine scorn
 the idea that to succeed in theatrical life a young woman must sacrifice her self respect. ..-- Who is there of us that does not be- lieve in luck? Mrs. Fiske does. She says:
 T have noticed often that it is not always the most deserving actresses who are most successful. Many women unknown in the profession have worked harder and are really more gifted and capable than some with far wider repu- tation. The theatrical woman who reaches a high place must work hard
 but some work very hard all their lives and do not get the place. I don't know what's the reason unless it's luck. And almost invariably, too, the women of the stage have others than themselves to support"
 Just so. But in that last respect the
 women of the stage are not singular. The same is true of almost every other wage earning woman. r..
 Mrs Fiskes own theater, the Man haitian, in New York city, whose inte- rior arrangements were planned by her husband, Harrison Grey Fiske, aims at embodying the Wagnerian idea of ar
 tistic perfection in scenic effect and stage setting. It is beautiful and luxu-

cHoosINe YOUR SWEETHEART,

Choose your sweetheart carefully, wisely and tenderly. Remember he is to be more than this to you some day; he is to be your husband.
 You girls know very quickly when a man means more than ordinary friend ship for you. You have an instinct that tells you this big, good looking fellow has come sweethearting and that thatis the time for you to study him little bit
 Think out if his temper and yours are certain to agree well together: think out if his tastes and yours are alike or if they can grow to be so, for you know, little woman, if you want to be happy in your married life you must learn the great and wonderful virtue of adaptability.

Low Priced Substitutes For Expensive Costumes

TNHE spring pedestrian suit illustrat-
 ed is one of the advanced mod "A els sent from the other side. It is of invisible Scotch plaid of the new gray shade, with box plaited skirt and bolero jacket. Of course this particular plaid is expensive, but the shops are getting in every day home manufac- tured checks which are cheap and would make up into stunning gown of this sort.
 The other spring tailor suit, which is more elaborate, is fashioned of the plaid, but is further ornamented with

 Some one has wisely said that a girl spends all her life in being in love, and man can count his love experiences on the five fingers of his right hand. An other sage remarked that love with a woman was her whole life; with man it was only an incident. Nonsense! It wasn't intended to be so, and do you know the reason why it is so as a mat ter of fact? Because women have such narrow spheres.

When John leaves her, she first dreamily contemplates herself in the glass; then she wanders around with bl1ssfully inane expression, living over and over again the events of the evening", weighing each word, each phrase, each hand pressure. Then she goes to bed, but if she sleeps at all it is to dream of John again. The next morning she arises to breakfast either extravagantly gay or thoroughly list less, according to the weather and her inward presentiments She mopes around all day, reading sentimental novels and thinking of him-planning in fact, and wondering when they are to meet again. Or she rushes over to some girls house and confides in her, or if she is a still greater fool she writes or telephones to John. But even if she is a wise girl she wastes valuable time thinking of him just the same.
 That's how the little god of love makes slaves of us women. If Mary would only bestir herself and do some thing useful, if Mary would change her mental atmosphere, pick up a story of the strenuous life after John leaves, do omething-anything to remove that fatal spell-well more girls would be saved breaking their hearts in vain: that's all.

It contains also 8 library of his- toric and dramatic works that are used as authorities in the preparation of plays produced in the theater. Pains taking artistic correctness is the word with MT. and Mrs. Fiske- Many of the volumes in the library are old and rare.
 Mrs. Fiske, whose theatrical career began when she was three years old, does not think stage women work hard CT than others who accomplish any thing. She says:
 ''The hardest worked woman of all is the society woman. She does not feel the necessity for guarding her vitality for the evenings performance, as the actress must do. I have never ob- served either that the women of the stage break down from overwork any oftener than the men. Wesare obliged to take care of ourselves physically"
