Appropriafe Dress.

One Of the great drawbacks to a
womanS feeling comfortable in general
society is found in her dress. For a
man the path is straight. His evening
dress is practically the same for ali
occasions. 1t is only when he wanders
from the conventional and INDUCES in
such enormities as four-in-h hand with
a dress suit that he makes fatal blum
ders
With q woman the case is different.
She does not always know how she
ought to dress. If she goes to dinner
and wears the only high-necked gown
in the room she is as uncomfortable
as she would be if she went to an even
ing party in a low-necked frock and
found every other woman there dressed
to the chin. Because of this, it is safer
for her to find out from some one who
knows the ways Of the house what will
be the probable dress at place where
she herself. is a stranger. Customs
vary greatly in this regard. I know Of
homes where low-cut gowns are q
regular feature, even at the family
dinner table, and there are other houses
where such dressing as this is never
thought of except for the most impor-
tant Of evening parties or balls.-New

Mistakes Of Two Queens.

Marie Antoinette, escaping from the
Tuilleries, turned to the right instead
OF to the LETT after passing the inne,

and by this means lost her own head

story OF Carlyle runs.

The Commonplace Girl.


Many think the commonplace girl
is a social failure, but she is not"
says an observing woman. "As a rule,
the brilliant and unusual girls receive
more than their right share of praise;
but we cannot help loving the common
place girl for the nee little part she
plays in life. Yet we seldom tell her
SO.
1.-THE commonplace girl mean the
girl who has nothing noticeably brill
liant in hers so apt to underestimate
her worth. You know that from time
to time she has come to you for COM
fort because she declared she was a
social failure and so ordinary and
commonplace.
''Why, it is just these dear, bright,
little commonplace girls that make up
the greater part of the world; it is the
commonplace men and women who at
tend to the small but necessary mat
ters that so to make up the great sum
total of our lives.
1.-THE geniuses are too busy to pay
attention to these small affairs; and,
beside, they are very rare. Men are
always struck by the sweet simplicity
and absence of vanity in the common
place girl, and, as general rule, she
is the girl who captivates their hearts"

Uncrowded Professions.

At the convention OF the American
Medical Association in New Orleans,
DR.. Billings drew attention to the fact
that the medical colleges are gradual
ing annually from 10000 to 1850
physicians, when the actual need OF
this country call for only about $500.
It seems a pity that some Of these
graduates have not entered other pro-
LESSONS that are not SO crowded and
can offer better prospects of remuner-
alton. Sanitary engineering, naval ar
chitecture and the comparatively new
professions of forestry. for instance,
are not overcrowded and there will
soon be great demand for really
competent automobile engineers, men
who combine with mechanical ability

DR.. Johnson was so pleased with
