The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-14

SiSt of girls and women of from four
teen to thirtyfive. Aug. l is the date
set for the debut Of the lady sweeps,
only provided the police grant the nee
essary permission.
A singular fact about Japanese SER
wants, writes Sarah P. Braston in the
California Ladies' Magazine, is that the
best of them were not born In that
class and do not intend to remain in
it. The housewife never knows what
angel she may be entertaining I'M
aWares. He may be a prince in dis
guise, for anything she knows to the
contrary. and he has taken service in
an American family doing all sorts of
mental work and submitting to orders
and rebukes merely to learn the Ian
guage and customs Of the country 1t
makes no difference with this class Of
servants whether they are satisfied
with the place or you are satisfied with
them. They will push on to another
family. Your ways may be agreeable,
but they also want to know how other
people live, and you are liable to go
downstairs any fine morning to find
that the boy you have so carefully
trained has departed and his place is
filed by some one you never saw be-
fore. On one occasion / made arrange
ments on Sunday for a boy to come
Monday morning, and gave him a key
to the outside door so that he might
enter without disturbing me. When
went into the kitchen Monday morning
| found bright intelligent boy COM
placently getting breakfast, but he was
not Shuni. NO" he said, 81 am
Frank; Shumi sick: he come tomor-
row." whereupon he produced letter
from Shumi. which ran something like
this: "Madam-It pains and grieves
me and l loathe and despiSe the mel
ancholy things / have to do. Believe
me. [ am bowed to the ground to rem
der you this ill. but 1 am sick and my
friend will stay" etc. Day after day
passed. and Shumi came not. and |
finally learned that. despite his grief
and despair, he had accepted another
position where the wages were higher.
That the child is father to the man

most conspicuous in childhood pre-

Gently. what we fear may happen
rarely comes to pass; it is almost in
VarIably the unexpected that destroys
our calculations AS we can never
guard against that, what is the use of
fretting? | remember feeling terribly
about my Jacks temper. He used to
get into white RACES that seemed per-
fectly demoniacal in so small a crea-
ture, and at such times he was posi-
lively dangerous, so that / had to shut
him up away from the other children
until the passion fit was over. Now
he is the sweetest tempered fellow
imaginable, with no trace at all of his
childish furies. Mary, too, I worried
about a great deal. She was so wild
and uncomfortable and so intense in
all her feelings. My friends used to
say laughingly: You will have your
hands full of that girl when she grows
up And as l felt they were right. L
passed many an anxious hour in con-
sequence: but / might have spared
myself all that apprehension, for as
she grew older all the uncomfortable
impetuosity disappeared entirely and
she became almost too quiet and pru-
dish. All going to prove. as 1 say, that
there is no need to borrow trouble for
the future. 1t will come, undoubtedly,

There is really no end to the variety
of shirt-waist sets displayed. Some
are of imitation turquoise set in silver
rims. while theirs are of jade in an
antique gold setting, and many lovely
designs are shown in the gray finished
silver.
Charming little bibs for the children
to wear at meals come ready made in
monte cloth and toweling. One of
monte cloth quite large is henlstitched
at the edge and costs rs cents. Others
are shown having red and blue towel
borders that are to be purchased for 20
cents.
Now and then somebody has the idea
that he has evolved chair that is the
ideal of comfort for woman, says
the Upholsterer, but it is hopeless
undertaking. The trouble is that the
average woman varies her shape with
the fashions. There is many a COM

Perfect hygienic conditions are among
the things upon which the physicians

forums rely for effecting a cure, al
most as much as upon the fresh air
and abundant food that are a prom-
nent feature of the regimen. In this
fact lies a suggestion for the many
people afflicted with tuberculosis who
cannot go to sanitorium to be cured,
but must remain at home and cure
themselves as best they can. Bathing
is an important item at the sanitorium
in question. Believing that the immu-
