THE CHRISTMAS CLEARING
UP OF MRS. MINxEY.

AIRS. MINxEY was tired to DEATH
W It was the day before Christmas,
and she was not half ready, She
had ordered five costumes made over,
and only two were done. Besides, there
were three more gowns-a tafFeta, q
cashmere and a vcile-not even yet rips
ped UP. There was the room she had
kept her ancestors china ana furniture
in to be busted, the spare blankets and
furs and rugs had not been taken cut
of their moth wraps, and the linen
chests she examined twice a year had
not been overhauled. The drapings of
the coy corner, the spare bedroom and
the dining room and parlor mantel=
piece had to be taken down and busted
and the lace curtains changed, and not
soul to do it but Mrs Minxey.
She sank into an easy chair that had
to have the cover taken off before
Christmas and cleaned and put back
again. Mrs. Minxey's eye fell upon a
newspaper page as she sank, exhausted.
into the armchair. An article head
ed 1.-The Slavery of Things caught
her eye. 1t set forth how women are
slaves to possessions. abject slaves
chained to the care of things they do
not need or use. Let US simplify
said the writer. LET us have in our
houses only the articles we actually
| iCcu anu get rlu OF all the reSU-Ihe
bother and worry of them. We don't
own more than half the things sup
posed to belong to us. On the con-
| trary, they own us. Our lives might be
| simple and happy and free from care il
we kept in our homes only the clothing
and furniture we actually need. When
| these are worn out we can buy more.
Let us free ourselves from the slavery
! of possessions"
Mrs. Minxey saw a light suddenly
That's so, every word she thought
Here am worn to the bone this min
ute because of the care of possessions
most of which 1 don't use once in six
months and the rest of which 1 don't
use at all. This article is just right.
Let me see It's the day before
Christmas. I'm going on the spot to
clear out all the old truck that 1 don't
need. I'm going to give it away in

REAuTY cULTURE AT HOME.

Some people say that domestic work
spoils beauty, and many women who
really would enjoy active occupation in
their own homes are hindered by the
fear of spelling their loneliness. Let
them be treasured; housework in mod
Grafton is one of the best ways of cul-
tivating beauty.
Bedmaking is a magnificent exercise
for the figure. Shoulders, body and
limbs are all brought into play and de-
veloped by mattress turning and pill
low shaking The folding of sheets and
blankets and the spreading of them on
the bed all give the arms just the right
exercise to develop the muscles to the
soft roundness and pretty curves which
are the chief beauty of a woman's arm.
For arms, fingers and wrists the
washing and wiping of teacups and
saucers is admirable exercise. The wa
ter should be fairly hot, and Soda which
is injurious to- the skins need not be
used. The water, combined with the
exercise, is especially valuable in giving
suppleness to the joints of the fingers.

Don't always wear red if you are a

for blends. Reverse the order. A bru-

Don't wear black, n1auve or green If
the hair is black and the complexion
swarthy. Try yellow. scarlet or pink
Don't choose delicate shades of pink.

TOO MUCH MATRlMoNY.
New York.

A marriage epidemic now troubles
Servia and the cause of the trouble is
a system of marriage banks, which
We're founded with the idea of encour-
aging thrift, but have had an exactly
opposite effect. Young men and maid
ems in Servia pay into these marriage
banks in order to secure a premium
whenever they marry. Immediately a
small sum has thus been accumulated
the desire to marry seems overwhelm-
ing, with the result that the first chance
of entering the holy estate" is eagerly
seized upon To marry in haste usually
means to repent at leisure, and in Ser
via the effect of premature and i'll coT1-
sidered marriages is such widespread
misery that the government is now con-
sidering the advisability of abolishing
marriage banks altogether.

must be four suits of mems and boys

HOUSEHOLD HATS FROM GER.
MANY

The superiority of German household
and kitchen utensils is discussed by a
correspondent, who instances as a de-
lightful example the china or earthen-
ware rolling pin which has superseded
our primitive wooden one. 1t is almost
superfluous to point out that it is more
easily and thoroughly cleaned and is
cooler for pastry making than the
wooden rolling pin If the well to do
American woman were to work in her
own kitchen she would surely never toll
crate such a thing as the ordinary
pitcher, always narrower at the top
than the base and therefore impossible
to get clean except with much unnec-
essary labor. She would invent a soup
spoon with a lip at the side, and she
would insist on everyday cup and
pitcher and vegetable dish handles be-
ing put on square, so as not to harbor
dirt.
