THE KIND OF MEN
GIRLS ADMIRE.

They admire the man who is always
loving and respectful toward his pa
rents, says the New York American,
and who shows his respect by unfail-
ing courtesy and solicitude.
They admire the man who, although
witty, is not conceited, or if so, he
keeps it hidden; who is not egotisti-
cal, and takes an interest in other
peoples joys and sorrows besides his
own.
They admire a man who is a per-
feet gentleman-who knows how a
lady should be treated, and never for
gets to offer her his chair, open the
door for her, and the hundred other
little attentions which a girl so ap-
preciateS.
They admire the man who can keep
his temper under control, and not
descend to bad language should any
thing happen to displease him. A girl
is not slow to recognize various points
in a mans character, and few gain
her admiration more than an even
temper.
They admire the man who can I'M
derstand a hint, and has tact enough
to see when his presence is unde-
sirable. Tact is essential in every
bodys nature, though few men pos
sess it in any marked degree.
They admire the man who never
bores them. who has always some
thing fresh to say, or, if not a new
way of saying old things. Once a
girls interest is thoroughly reused, a
man should have no difficulty in win
ming her love-

ExTRAvAGANCE IN WEDDINGS.

Baltimoreans are quite stirred by
the utterances of Rev. J. S. d.
Hodges, rector of st. Pauls P. E.
Church, of that city, who has contrib
uted to his parish paper an article in
which he deplores the extravagances
attending the modern wedding.
Quoting the rubric to prove that the
church is the proper place for the SOL
emnization Of the wedding ceremony,
he says:
There should, therefore. be nothing
connected with this celebration of this
holy rite which should make it difficult
for the members of the church to come
to the church for this purpose; GER
tainly none that should actually deter
them from coming.
Whoever attends now, who ever
reads Of a quiet church wedding
where there is nothing to distract the
attention from the holy and solemn
service? Church weddings now are
great occasions. The church is to be
brilliantly lighted and decorated with
a profusion of beautiful flowers, the
most rich altar cloths are to be
brought out, regardless of the season
of the churchs year, and magnificent
palms and tropical plants fill half the
chancel, almost obscuring the altar.
"Why should there be such cost.

AS TO PURRING
WIVES AND BABIES.

That young man whom Ethel has
promised to love, honor, and obey will
make her a good husband" said the girl
in the plaid skirt decisively to the
little group who were talking over
the wedding and the new brides flu
ture in the dreamy manner girls have
anent such events. I'm sorry to say
that 1 haven't had the pleasure of
knowing him long time, but l am
just as sure as If l had been inti-
mately acquainted with him since
childhood. He will wear well, and be
as good a husband ten years hence as
he will be during the first blissful year.
a little incident 1 noticed a short time
ago made me certain of what 1 say.
"One evening Ethel brought him over
to call at our house. He seated himself
on one end of our big sofa. A few min
utes later the family cat entered the
room. She looked gravely up at Ethel's
fiance and then, as If satisfied with her
inspection, jumped up on the sofa be-
side him. Some men wouldn't have
paid any attention to Mistress Puss;
others would have patted her in per-
functory manner out of regard to me.
He did neither way.
First he moved along a bit on the
sofa so as to make room for the cat,
helped her dispose herself in a comfort
able manner, stroked her few times
and scratched her head softly, and in
minute had puss purring as content
eddy as if they had been lifelong
friends. And it was plain from the
manner he did it all that he wasn't
paying the cat attention simply because
it was my cat. No, it was on the cats
account; he wanted Mistress Puss to
feel comfortable and in a purring frame
of mind.
Every home should have cat
he said, half alphabetically. "A fat
cat, cat with well-stroked fur, and
one that is accustomed to purring.'
Now" continued the girl in the plaid
skirt in tones of calm wisdom, "a
man who likes to see the cat comfort
able and warm and in purring con-
dition will feel the same toward his
wife and babies. He will look out for
the little details which make such a
difference in a persons comfort. He
will see that his wife has a fur coat -
if he can possibly afford it; that she
has all the little luxuries which cost
more in thoughtfulness than they do in
effort or money. He will want a
plump, chubby baby, a baby that smiles
and gurgles on small provocation, and
he will do his best to provide the lit
tie things needed to keep a baby in
That mental and physical condition. A
man who wants a purring cat about
him when he is a bachelor will try for
a purring wife and baby after he is
married"
And the girl with the paid skirt
nodded her head decisively, as one who
has laid down an infallible rule for
the testing of all fiances.
But sometimes confirmed old bache-
Tors, who never think of marrying,
are fond of cats" objected the girl
with the brown eyes.
ut doesn't make any difference" in
sisted the girl with the plain skirt,
my rule holds good. And when you
see a bachelor who is fond of fat, purr-
Ing cats you can be sure, my dear,
that somewhere, sometime, somehow,
some one made a bad mistake. Such a
man was never meant to waste his
purr-encouraging qualities on cats.
They were intended for a pretty wife
and a fat baby, but something went
wrong -

clubs, for athletics, for anything and
everything that will keep you away
from your home duties and feel free
to interest yourself in them because
you have left a housewifely husband
at home to take your place in the home
menage, do not marry the domestic
animal.
The man who shows the faintest dis
position to nag or to enter into long
and senseless arguments should be I'M
doubtedly avoided. What an uncom-
Portable husband Father William
must have grown into!
In my youth" said the Father, IT
took to the law.
And argued each case with my wife,
And the muscular strength which It
lent to my jaw
Has lasted the rest of my life"
1t is horrible, isn't it, to think of a
man developing what is known as the
"resolute chin at his wifes expense.
In conclusion, and to sum up, we
would say when the man who is neat
orderly, conscientious purveyor, han
dy about the house, domestically in
clined, without too great culinary
knowledge or curiosity presents him
self, grapple him to your soul with
hooks of matrimonial steel.
AS well marry the butler? Perhaps.
But what is a husband but a very
superior sort of head butler, after all D.?

Leader.

understands her business. Many a
masSeuse works not wisely, but with
entirely too much vigor, leaving her
patient all worn out.
The girl who gets up early can have
a routine of her own, and in arrang-
ing it she can be guided not by the
peculiarities of any one else, out by
her own eccentricities pure and sim
pie. She must realize that she is an
independent creature, not like other
girls at all, but just like herself, and
that she is a law-not unto the woman
next door-unto herself alone.
AS soon as the girl who gets her
beauty sleep early and, who gets up
at the end of eight hours of repose full
ly realizes that she is a human being
and not an automation she will begin
to improve in health and in looks.
For one thing she will not take the
cold plunge unless it agrees with her.
Perhaps she is of a build which cannot
take a hot bath in the morning, or
any bath at all. 1t may be that her
peculiarities of heart, lungs and vitality
are such that she must eat as soon as
she rises, and rest half an hour after
eating. There are people who must
do this.
But she need not think, if she is one
of the persons who wakes up weak
and faint, that she need always be
thus. She should try to take plenty of
exercise in the open air; and that heart
of yours will grow stronger. Here are
a few suggestions for the seeker after
health and beauty:
Don't sleep in close room; don't
try to spend all your hours in the
house, don't think that dusty air full
of microbes is as good for your lungs
as pure air, and don't be afraid to get
out and get the sunshine. Form lit
tie sunshine society of your own, and
be it's charter member, if there is never
another one in your society.
Don't be afraid of OVERRIDING the exer-
else business. And remember that the
strongest women in the world are those
who belong TO the tribes and races
whose lives are spent breathing the out
door air of the fields and the sweet per-
fume Of the gardens.

THE VOGUE OF THE BONNET.

1t Is affirmed on the very best au-
thority, says the New York Press, that
bonnets are to be worn this winter.
There are some milliners who even go
so far as to say that they expect quite
a run on these new shapes, and that
ethey will throw hats and toques quite
in the shade.
SO many attempts have been made
IN this direction that one feels natur-
ally somewhat skeptical as to a boom
IN bonnets, although there is no doubt
that they will be worn to a certain
extent. 1t must be admitted, how
ever, that the new bonnets 1--WE use
the old-fashioned word advisedly)
have very dashing air. They look
as though they were bound to con-
quer. Milliners dub them big capotes,
but they have absolutely nothing in
common with the somewhat charac-
terless shapes we are accustomed to
connect with the word "capote," and
which have for so long been worn by
women past middle age, nor to the
little apology for a head covering
adopted for court ceremonies in Eng
land and by the very few Parisiennes
who deem that it is ungenerous to
their neighbors to wear big hats at
the theaters-The Millinery Trade Re

THIN STOCKINGS, RED NOSES.

1t is a continual source of wonder
ment to men. says the Chicago
Chronicle, how women manage to
escape being frozen to death in winter,
considering the texture and quality
of the clothing they wear and which
as the seasons pass appears to grow
lighter and lighter. Generally physi-
clans inveigh without result against
the inadequacy of thin garments.
But the family doctor has one threat
which sometimes has an effect on his
patients when they come to him all
ing.
"Of course your nose is red" he
says. why shouldn't it be when your
ankles are cold and your chest isn't
half protected and you are altogether
insufficiently clothed? You need ex-
pect neither beauty nor health nor to
live to a good old age if you do not
take better care of yourself in cold
weather than you do now
This is a terrible prospect to the
red-nosed one, so she goes home and
puts on a pink embroidered flannel
petticoat which reaches to her knees
and feels that she has made all the
concessions to health necessary.
Occasionally her grandmother or
some other lady of the old school calls
her to account.
when l was your age" she says,
1--WE took some care of ourselves. We
didn't wear low shoes and the thin
nest sort of stockings when the ther-
mometer was below freezing and we
didn't leave our coats open over our
chests and wear besides thin silk
waists. We wore heavy balbriggan
stockings and thick boots when we
went out. We wore stuff petticoats,
quilted, which came down to our shoe
tops and were almost as heavy as a
blanket. We wore mittens and hoods
and barege wells and arctic overshoes,
and if we had gone out in snowy
weather wearing thin low shoes and
silk stockings, as 1 nave seen girls
of the present day do, we would have
been adjudged insane and sent to
lunatic asylum.
"And 1 want to say, further, that
we looked exactly as stylish as the
girls of to-day do with their coat
fronts tapping in the wind and their
shivery- looking figures and blue noses.
There's nothing like warmth for MAX
ing a girls complexion look nice. and
no cold maiden ever succeeded in re-
sembling Venus or Hebe; so there!"
In Difference to the prejudice for
pretty things, which is so strong
