London, July 15.-The engagement of
William Waldorf Astor's daughter,

Guards. announced yesterday in MIR.
Astor's paper, the Pail Mall Gazette,
caused utter establishment in London
society. No one would have credited

Astor's own paper, tucked away OBJ

Spender-Clay came prominently be-
fore the public in the prosecution of
Lord William Neville. who found in him
the easiest dupe swindier ever VIC
timized. London rang with laughter
over Spender- clays ingenious recital
on the witness stand of how Neville re-
lieved him of thousands upon thou-

MAINE DEMOCRATS MEET.
Convention Selects Cyrus w. Davis as
Nominee for Governor.

Waterville, Me. July 15.-Mayor Cy-
rus W. Davis, of Waterville, was nom
mated for governor of Maine at the
democratic state convention yesterday.
notwithstanding the fact that when his
name was presented he protested ana
announced his withdrawal. Samuel w.
Gould. of Skowhegan. who headed the
democratic state ticket last year. also
was candidate. and when MT Davis
addressed the convention TO announce
his position with reference to the nom
nation. he said that he was bound 10
support Mr.. Could and would vote for
him. The matter was finally arranged,
Gould withdrawing.
No other state officers were nomi-
mated as there is no lieutenant GOV
ernor in Maine. and the other places
are appointive. Six presidential elect
ors were chosen.

WOMEN pEPREc,ATE THEM.
Sci YES

Mrs. Fenwick Miller of England
writes 1t Isl not only in regard to re-
ligious matters that early association
of ideas makes permanent impressions.
Women are themselves very largely re-
sponsible for the contemptuous atti-
tude which many men take toward
them and which is so ingrained by
early training that no later experiences
and no collated facts can possibly at
feet the after lifes unconscious convic-
ton Mothers, nurses and teachers are
only too often responsible for this SEN
timent. Lightly and purposely, they
continually speak to the small boy in a
manner der6gatory to the mothers sex.
The object in view is frequently the
very desirable one of arousing the mas
culine infants better qualities; the
purpose is to make him courageous.

POINTS TO BE NOTED
IN LETTER WRITING.

There is no denying that the average
woman does not know how to write a
good letter--that Is, II is not, as rule,
interesting reading. 1t often does not
give the recipient much real informa-
| ton about the writer, and 1t is not in
| frequently unbusinesslike in details.
There is no excuse for emitting to
| write the full address at the top of a
letter. however well ii may be known
to the recipient. 1t is always possible
| that letter may be returned through
the postoffice, or it may have to be re-
piled to by third person in case of
| illness, and, moreover, II you do not
make a habit of writing your address
you are likely to forget it in strange
place when in hurry.
Then, again, no letter should be'sent
away undated; dates may always be-
come of Importance for reference.
If you write business letter take care
that 1t is businesslike, which is almost
the same thing as saying, Take care
| that it is short" II you write on busi-
ness matters, even to a friend, confine
your letter entirely to business. 1t is
| a mistake to attempt to combine this
| with friendly epistle. as it will have to
| be kept for reference and may pass
| through several hands.
| A letter to friend ought to be such
as to give her pleasure. In that case
you must take the trouble to consider
her tastes and interests. 1t Is generally
we'll to begin by comments on the last
letter received, as you thus show in
terest in your correspondents concerns.
AS rule, 1t is possible to make the
story of ones doings interesting if one
takes enough trouble. Many people
make the mistake of merely mentioning
the places they have been to or the
things they have done. Such letter
| suggests a skeleton diary and is Of less
interest than one visit or hobby de-
scribed In sufficient detail to call up a
vivid picture to the mind. Then, in or
der to give pleasure, you must consider
what news your correspondent is anx-
, ious to hear. not merely that which you
are anxious to tell. Above all, avoid
writing unkindly things Of third par
ties.
Among minor details, avoid the abb
surdity of filling up a letter with exag-
gerated apologies for not having writ
ten before or for not writing a longer
reply. Then do not besprinkle the epis-
tie with exclamation marks, inverted
commas, dashes or much UNDERLYING.
The effect produced always suggests a
historical correspondent.
Then, lastly, never try to excuse
yourself for omissions by concluding
with "In great haste" or In hurry to
catch the post" as this is impolite to
your friend, because you should not
have left the letter to the last moment.

DECLINE OF MOURNING.

The recent statement that many peo-
pie nowadays have such a dislike of
mourning that they frequently go
abroad Immediately after a funeral in
order to avoid the necessity for wear
ing 1t may be true of only q small Sec
ton of society. but there is little doubt
that mourning is by no means so gen.
orally worn as In days gone by. This,
of course, is only in accord with the
tendency of the age. 1t is a good many
years since we got rid of the long Grape
hatbands which men and even small
boys wore on their heads on the occa-
sions of funerals, and year by year
since then the trend Of things has been
in the direction of less and less display
of the panoply of grief.
