international Courtesies

They stop the whole afternoon, devot-

effecting introductions, Offering re-

the enjoyment Of others. They are cas-

the fact that she Is without any hat

relieves the hostess for awhile by
standing by the door TO receive, so that
the latter can give n little Individual

to see his hostess later ON. but he does

clceriness for the Nursery.

The jollicst, brightest kind of a nur-
sery has been made out of a rather
dull north room with an unpleasant
cutloow. The praiseworthy feat was
accomplished in the following man.
ner: The walls are hung with a
creamy paper. The window curtains
reaching to sill. are of chintz, on which
roses, birds and butterflies appear in
the softest shades of pink, blue and
green, the ground being white. A
frill hangs from the top Of the win
dow, and there is no large blind to
interfere with the light. Four little
spotted muslin curtains hang from
slender brass rods upon the window
frames.
Down one sid2 of the room stands a
set of shelves made from well-planed
and stained deal, and on the side fac
ing the room they are hung with cur
tains in plain green linen; the top OF
these shelves is of convenient stand
ing height for child of six or eight
years Of age, and forms splendid
place for the marshalling of armies
of soldiers, of focks of animals, for
drawing or painaing table, and arrang-
ing tea or dinner sets. When not In
use the toys are kept hidden beneath
the curtains, and useful lessons in
neatness and cleanliness are learned
in maintaining order among them.

terpiece cheerful, and the cushions on
the wicker chairs are similarly COW
cred, as also is the table. The whole
furnishing of this nursery was most
inexpensive, but particularly bright
and pretty. Strong linen is, no doubt,
more serviceable; but in this case, as
money was an object, green cotton
was employed. Every material was
washable. The curtains, being short,
could be washed at home, and the
highly glazed chintz recommended
does not hold dust; it may, indeed,
almost be busted like china. No cosy
stuflness is advisable in nursery,
but cold and bare appearance should
be avoided. Nothing attains this re-

THE wIFES ALLOWANCE.

Should the wife have an allowance, n
definite sum set apart out of the family
income for herself, or should she have
to ask her husband, as IL it were clar-
lty, for money with when to buy her
hats, gloves, ribbons and the thousand
and one needful trifles? Men are apt
to think that because women do not do
the work for which they (the mem are
paid, they have no part in earning It,
and are sooner or later inclined to ask,
Where is the quarter l gave you yes
terday?" -l.,,.-.,-t
Marriage is partnership in n special
sense, in which the man Is generally
the bread-wlnner; but 1t by no means
follows that the woman is merely an
ornament or a doll arrayed in pretty
dresses or house-gowns. In the ideal
home the wife hears her share of the
burdens that must come, it would
seem, to all Of us. She keeps the house
more or less elaborately, according TO
the circumstances. If she has one
servant or more, her burdens take
other forms than If she did her own
work. If she has children, there is the
responsibility Of caring for them and
training them. The mothers influence
upon her children for good or evil Is
very great. If there are guests at the
home, the matter of entertainment
largely devolves upon the wife. Her
duties are multifarlous, and when she
has done all, she is expected to be a
companion for her husband, and to be
Interested in 'he things in which he is
Interested. All this is just as much the
contribution to the household happl-
ness and comfort as the money the
husband brings home every week. In
business matters the wife should be
treated like a business partner; she
should have an allowance, and should
not have false sentiment about asking
