A GREAT IDEA

ashamed of yourself, abusing a poor old
critter like that?'
well, guess eff you'd set your mind
on anything and got left, you'd do
something. Here, listen to this:
Free delivery granted to town Of
Norwich, through a petition signed by
business men of the town, and headed
by Postmaster Bean
There, there, Farmer Hadley, don't
get so riled over it. It's nothing. You
know I'm just as fond of the Office as
you are-but I'm getting old-in fact,
we're both getting old, and it's rather
hard on an old man nearly seventy
years old to have to jump up and down
every minute. I'm not so spry as l was
when you used to go to school and play
your pranks on me. The boys now are
just as prankish as the boys were then,
and l get out of patience with them.
They will have to escort their girls
home from school now, If they want to
keep up their little walks. They'll find
way to see each other, just rely on
that By-and-by, Manuel, especially on
cold, clustering winter day, when you
see the mailman blowing his way
through the binding storm, you'll see
1t in the right light, and say to your
self, it's great idea."-Boston Post.

WOMEN SHOPPING.

Marie interviewed the head woman
of department in big store the 9TH
er day and asked if women were very
trying when they shop.
s'Well some of them are and others
are charming and make their shopping
trips a pleasure to those who wait on
them said She at all depends on. the
woman. We can tell all about the shop
per the moment she opens her mouth.
Talk about knowing human naturei
Well we find out more about it in
day than the rest of you do in year.
There's the fussy woman. who doesn't
know what she wants and changes her
mind every second and asks you to
help her choose; then when you do
help her, she'll be sure to come back the
next day and say: Now, what did you
make me take that for?' Then if you
don't feel like saying things! But you
can't, because sometimes the fusSy
woman has a large account with us
and her husband pays her bills prompt
ly. But she's trial.
Then there's the cross woman, who
gets in a perfect rage when she CAM
match bit of silk exactly, and talks
loudly about the shortcomings of this
particular store, and how easy it would
be to get it over at Browns; and in
stead of telling her to go over to
| Browns and go quickly, you can't and
so it goes. To answer back is a luxury
forbidden to the saleswoman, though
know of a case where girl who had
stood more than human nature Is ex-
pected to, gave a customer good piece
of her mind and considered losing her
place none too large price to pay for
the pleasure it gave her. But fortu-
nately these exasperating people are
not many.
Then there's the charming, tactful
n-hlQcod hainOl Shn will no
know until she gets to heaven how
much good she has done. Why, have
seen one of the girls who has had
hard, tiresome day, made to feel young
and fresh merely by selling something
to one of these wonderful women who
are altogether too rare. She thanks
sou graciously, says she is sorry you
are tired and that she hates to add to
your burden, asks you what you think
of what she has bought, Snd then tells
you what to do for your headache
when you get home. Then when she is
leaving she viii say something like
this: Thank you so much for your
assistance. Your courtesy makes shop
| ping pleasure And she leaves you
| with a certainty that there are a few
| decent people left in this hard old
world. Oh, the tactful woman is the
| woman for me!
You simply can't be rude or horrid
to these women; they compel courtesy
by their own politeness and make ev-
cry ones way smooth wherever they
go.
What the girls dread more than any
+, other kind are the llever, sarcastic
women who cut them up with some
| ironic remark and make them feel
| helpless and hurt their feelings. Once
! in while you get that kind of GUS
| toner and she leaves you with a little
bitterness in your heart until you blush
for your sex, because sharpness does
not become lady.
"Oh, yes. we know a lady when we
see one, although we ray not always
be that ourselves. al because a
woman is behind a counter, is no rea-
son that she is not a lady Come in

young Teller, how long hev you been
in this town? About year, hey? And
you were born and brought up in a
large city, and know nothing about the
pleasures of country life. You've never
been in the country more'n day at a
time, so calc'late you know burned
little about it. Now, l was born and
brought up in this ERE town, and all
my folks, for two or three generations
back, and I'll warrant you I'd rather
be where they are now than see that
old postoffice go!
Twice a day for years and years
my old horse and l hev trotted down
there. When 1 was boy, going TO the
school round the corner, many's the
prank played on old Postmaster Bean
and his wife Phebe, as good-natured a
couple as anyone would care to meet,
though I didn't think SO then.
Wasn't it our counting place, too!
And didn't meet my Mirandy there!
She just come down for the summer
didn't calc'late she'd spend the rest OF
her life here"
The above conversation took place at
the town hall on town meeting day.
The town was in thriving condition,
and several young men from neighbor-
ing cities had come and established
themselves in business, meeting with
such success that they took entire pos
session of the town and it's affairs, re-
gardless of the country people who had
ruled the town for generations back
And now, when these same young
men started a petition for free deliv-
cry. which would do away with the old
postoffice, they were suddenly made
aware that the country people. SEEM
ingly so easy, were pretty stubborn.
"And," continued Farmer Hadley,
'tyou won't get my name on your petit
ton, nor none of my relations, and
tell you when you come to look up the
they're pretty much related, one way
or 'tother. Tell yer what, though, If

leaving Saratoga she announced that

The chief reason is said to be Mrs.

At drowsy dawn 1 left the Gate-so very
long ago,
Whether that home be memory or dream
/ hardly know.
The cloud hung visions of the morn were
far more real then
Than now are thronging city streets and
cries of eager men.
The hours ere yet the sun was high were
like eternities,
But now how swift the shadows run, how
rear the darkness Is!
All. well! IT'S aye the happiest day comes
swift to even song;
With merrier comrades never yet did pill
grim pass along.
The paths that widest seem to part still
widening turn and meet;
Perchance they do but homeWard lead
again our wandering feet.
Familiar faces vanish, but the voices vi
brate STILL
And nothing now seems far away, at the
ending of the hill.
TO one warm hand alone l cling, as fast
the night grows late.
And crave that we may come at last To-
gether to the gate.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Yellow seems to be the pet color of
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, and, to tell the
truth, this color is becoming immense
ly to her. She discovered that she
looked best in yellow about three years
ago, and since then she has been fore
ing it upon her friends. Mrs. Fish
chooses a corn-colored tint that is try
ing to most women In Newport she
has shown an astonishing hat, the
crown of which is of pansies and yell
low violets. One of her most sumptu-
Gus evening gowns is embroidered with
yellow orchids, and she wears an after
noon dress of lemon-colored chiffon,
trimmed with harmonizing lace. Mrs.
FiSh'S other fad is SaSheS, and on sew
eral occasions she has worn schoolgirl
ribbons about her waist. They seem a
trihe unaffected, especially when the
effect is heightened with juvenile bows
on the shoulders.
But Mrs. Fish VOWS the does not care
a fingers snap about drses. please
accuse me of anything else on earth
but that" says the mistress of the
Crossways. 1t Is ludicrous to hear
how Mrs. Fish shops in Paris She
scarcely looks at frills and furbelows
held before her gaze. After a fleeing
glance she will say: Very nice; that
will do. Send it up 1t may cost a
thousand francs, yet she never scruti-
nizes Her gowns when not conspicu-
Gus, always have a twist or turn that
her neighbor does not show. You may
tempt Mrs. Fish with a novelty, and
no matter whether the effect is pretty,
she will choose it because of its orig
inality. In days gone by Mrs. Fish
wore a velvet gown, the sleeves of
which were black velvet stripes APP
piled like lattice. 1t was not becom-
ing or harmonious but Mrs Fish wore
the gown persistently. She took the
greatest pride in these weird sleeves.

The husband didn't answer, and the

The old custom of having a bill Of
fare in private house has been

bills of fare were drawn up, but not
distributed. The bill of fare was sub
mitted to the hostess, who would cross
out what she did not like and add. a
few hints. The bill of fare was usu-
ally written neatly on a crested card,
but there was no excuse for this fash
ion. Now many women have discarded
the bill Of fare as an affectation. Be
sides, many chefs objected to writing
out the bills of fare and then the day
of the housekeeper came and milady's
responsibility was passed completely

Absorb my soul, that I may know no

The pain of separation! implore
Thy Self to take me in, and solemnize
My union with thee in some mystic wise,
I would no more be I, but would explore
As thee, thy souls dim temple, and
adore
Therein, as thee, with secret sacrifice.
Oh, let me die to Self, and find rebirth
In some fair body as one soul with
theei
There are no purposes in life for me,
But as thy complement; nor any worth
In all the fame and splendor of the earth
Unless one perfect spirit we may be.
