Cure For the Talking Habit.

One part horse sense and two parts
Of manly determination to keep still.
Mix we'll with an unlimited amount Of
the best quality of thought. 1t is irnpos-
sible for woman to talk all the time
without saying a lot of things that she
shouldn't or without proving Il jolly
bore to everybody about her. This tat
Ting habit is not confined entirely to
women, though. Some men have the
affection terribly. Sometimes it's
wheat. sometimes it's chess. some
times it's baseball. \ steady diet Of
one kind conversation is always tire
some Take nibble of this and Il
nibblc of that. and your chatter will be
more interesting. particularly if there
are plenty Of rests between nibblcs.
Talking improves when there's silence

The Woman Who Promises.

In every social circle every club. every
association of women, there are those
who delight the novice by their obliging
readiness to help. but are stunned by
the experienced. Let me do that for
you.' Il will attend TO it," Leave it
to me, they cry, and straightway go
off and forget all about it. Who that
has been unhappy enough TO have them
on committee will soon forget the an
SuiSh of finding at the last moment that
their part of the work is untouched and
must be done by ones self inStanter!
And the airy. "Oh, l thought you would
remind me; | have so many things to
think about that | quite forgot it," does
not make matters any better as the eX-
hausted chairman goes home afterwards
to nave a headache.
The aggravatiOn of it is that the ire
Sp0nslble woman is often so charming
and SO endowed with other good quail
ties. The reliable sister is often unde-
nlably dull. We can have her, and de.
pend upon her. and her price is beyond
rubleS. but she does not sparkle, alas!
The Woman Who Promises. if she would
only Keep her word. is the woman we
want. Act her eXasperating faU't makes
her impossible to work with, and unpOp-
ular in spite of her good points. As for
those who have to live with her. the less
said of their sufferings the better.
To keep ones word is the very essence
of personal honor. To make promises
lightly and hold them cheap has been
held dishOnOrable always, and it makes
no difference where our word is given,
or how inconvenient it may be to redeem
the promise. The Inconvenience ia
which our broken promise win put other
people are what the mind must dwell
upon. Mother says she'll do things
but she always forgets," said boy the
other day, wistfully, to friend. Il wish
she was like your mother" Children
are quick to notice the promise breaker.
The woman whose word is her bond, nj
home and abroad. adds deeper attrac-
ton to all the charms she may possess. -

Odd Callings for Women.

Poverty is universally regarded as one
of the worst evils that are visited upon
mankind, yet out of the evil often comes
good, and from absolute necessity clever
women devise new modes Of earning il
livelihood. Most of those who find them
selves in reduced circumstances take up
ordinary CallingS, but Il few plunge out
of the beaten bath and make some idle
accomplishment the basis of paying
vocation.
One young woman, who in the past
learned to make lace as fad, now puts
it to practical use by repairing old and
priceless laceS. She carries what may
be called a kit of tools, including lace
makers pillow, a full set of threads and
various kinds OF needles, and restores an
injured collar or an ancient tchu in the
presence of the owner. The work is ex-
ceedingly difficult aud the reward CORE
spOndingly high.
Several women have taken up indexing.
Their patrons are people who keep scrap

airy knowledge of French and German.
The pay is moderate.
Artistic and fancy bOOkbinding is prac-
ticed by eight or ten women in our own
city. This is a skilled trade of the high

and artistic ability. Two of the binders
have done such good work as to make
them moderately famous.
