THE IDEAL WOMAN.

An ideal woman, according to an OBJ
serbing member of the sex who has
devoted considerable time to studying
the characteristics of her sisters, is
one without an ideal. Not only is she
easy to live with, but she is worth liv-
ing for. She has no history. She has
no story. She wears a reasonable hat
at matinees. She is too clever to talk
of woman's rights; she takes them.
She wears frocks that match her hair;
she does not dye her hair to match her
frocks.
She helps her husband to build up a
future for himself, and never seeks to
rake up his past. She believes that a
theory is the paper fortress of the i'm
mature, and that a clergyman may
still be a. man. She knows that when
men talk about a woman being good
looking they lean that she(is well
dressed, though they don't know it.
She does not insist upon her husbands
eating up the cucumber sandwiches left
over from one of her parties; she eats
| them herself and suffers in silence.
She is not such a fool as to fancy
that any one is ever convinced by ar.
gument. She does not reason. She
loves. She does not believe that. a man
can love only onee or only one. She
herself prefers loving much TO Towns

VEAL ~CROQUETTES.

Delicious veal c%roquettes may be
made of a cup of cold veal minced fine.
Meat that has served for a soup stock
will do very we'll for this purpose. Add
a cup of rice cooked until tender, half
a cup of cooked sweetbreads minced
and chopped fine. Add for seasoning
three or four drops of onion juice, a
sprig of minced parsley, a spray of
celery minced and one Of thyme.
Moisten the mixture with three-quar-
tiers of a cup of white stock which has
previously been jellied and then melted
before it is added. Add salt and pep
per and let mixture cook for three or
four minutes, then turn it out on a
platter to become cold. When cold
form it into croquettes. Roll lightly
in bread crumbs, then mask with
beaten egg yolk, and a little milk, roll
in sifted bread crumbs again and fry
in smoking hot fat until a golden

To LOOK HER BEST.

One of the greatest mistakes a wo-
man can make is not to look her very
best in the eyes of her husband,
whether it be in morning negligee, af,
ternoon or evening dress. A husband
should see in his wife more than he
sees in any other m in the world,
and it lies in her power to have it so,
whether she be rich or poor.
The greatest personal care will be
thoroughly appreciated by the hus'
band, thuspendessng comparisons with
other women to her advantage.

AT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

Don't wait until the afternoon if you
are going to get the best results from
a photograph. Go early in the day.
Don't expect to get a photograph
that will please you, if you are fatig-
eud when sitting.
Don't hurry. Haste makes the face
red, and red comes out dark in a pic
ture, a result not desirable where COM
plexion is concerned.
Don't get out of temper, a condition
which brings lines to the face and
spoils the expression.
Don't choose a day when the sun
shine is too bright; or every imperfec-
ton will be more strongly developed.
A wcA lighted, cloudy day is best.
Don't wear dead white. Cream white
is prettier and more effective; indeed,
the best color for a dress.
Don't wear black. 1t gives a hard,
dense tone.
Don't wear tan or yellow, OF laven-
der. They take badly. Gray takes
white, and sky blue generally comes
out white.
Don't wear silk or satin. Nothing
comes out so badly as the glimmer OF
silk or gloss of satin. Woolens, crepes
or velvets are preferable.
Don't be afraid of wearing lace. The
line between flesh and dress should be
softened by it.
Don't wear diamonds or rubies. Jew
els are best left at home, though pearls
may be worn.
Don't wear screw earrings. They
will look like Jumps or protuberances.
Don't indulge in any elaborate hair
dressing. One can hardly dress the
hair too loosely for a picture.
Don't arrange the hair in fiat style ii
your face is round and like the full
moon in all it's glory. The fuzzy br
pompadour effect is better.
Don't take a full-face picture If the
nose is crooked or the eyes weak. Try
a three-quarters view.
Don't hide the eyes, if they are fine
Take a full-face view.
Don't try a profile if the chin is re
treating, the nose a pug, and the lips
too full. A sidewise turn of the head
may transform these defects almost in
to charms.
Don't be afgafd of using a bit Of pow
der to cover an obnoxious mole.
Don't cover up graceful curves Of
neck and shoulders with drapery.
Don't smile unless it m natur

HI ART OF DRESSING.

The time was when it was a re-
proach levied against clever women
that they could not dress well. Look
where you will nowadays, this is dis.
proved. Go to any meeting in which
women speak or put in an appearance at
a Woman's club where the majority OF
the fair sex are doing something in the
world of literature or art, and you will
see that in the matter of fashion and
style they are able to hold their own
with the ostafeatner-headed butterfly
of fashion. They bring their common
sense, their knowledge Of the world,
and the income their wits provide
them to bear on dress, and SO many
of them have acquired the subtle art OF
putting on clothes, virtues which the
society butterflies have claimed for
their own. Moreover, they are acqufr-
ing what the best bred women only did
acquire at one time-the art of know
ing when to wear their clothes-in
fact, the suitability Of raiment. It is
not a difficult task to dress becomingly
with a pretty face and a good figure,
but one of the features of u day is
that the modern woman seems to have
the power of making herself good look
ing, or, at all events, of looking well,
The art Of dressing is to render a
squat figure 1.-THE in appearance at all
events, and the overtall woman of mod
crate height, the short one of fair
stature. Unhappily, there are more
women who can spend a great deal of
money on dress than know when and
what to wear and how to put on their
clothes. They introduce their jewelry
at the wrong time, and too much of it.
Happily, women are no longer hung in
chains (not the fashionable ones), but
it is more chic to appear with some
antique ornament that goes with the
texture and style Of the gown than to
be a blaze of diamonds. Jewelry,
bodice bouquets, ties and such addenda
require more attention often than the
choosing of the dress itself.-Washing'

DR.. M. G.. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 5l3 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal.,
he says:
There is a general objection OF the part
of the practiclng physician to advocate pat
