Woman and Her Honse

That "a man may he known by his friends
is a truism, and the advice no doubt no ds
equally good with regard TO women; but
there is a much easier way of arriving
at a womans character. Her friends may
not be in evidence and might not show
their real character if they were. but her
house proclaims the persona ity of its mis-
tress TO ell who have eyes TO see From
the kitchen TO the drawing room it bears
the impress of her character. 1t shows
whether she Is a gentle woman or the
reverse. whether she is intellectual or
frivolous, and perhaps, most Of AL,
whether she is simple and sincere or in
sincere and ostentatious-people with din
gy minds have dingy houses. To peop C
without ina gina.ion a chair is a chair and
table a table. like the immortal prim-
rose on the rivers brim. So long as there
is enough sitting accommodation In a
room, with sufficient tables to hold the
odds and ends which obviously cannot
stand upon the floor, they consider they
have done everything that can be done
in the matter of furniture. though the
more expensive the thing Is the more
value they set on it. People who fill their
lives with trivial pleasures and trivial
business III their houses with correspond
ing trivialties. and those who are conbn-
ually striving after eject and appearance
may be relied upon to surround them
selves in their homes with the most hid
eous shams in the way Of furniture and
decorations.

Styles for the Small Boy

For the very tiny boy-about two or
three years of age-the Russian blouse
dress with full knickerbockers showing
a little below the skirt is probably the
best. These dresses should be Of white
linen or duck for afternoon. but for
morning, dark blue and brown crash
or linen duck make excellenf suits.
The dark suits may have a white col
lar and cuffs. and possibly a band OF
linen down the front of the dress to
cover the buttonholes. There should al
so be a white or black leather belt.
coming practically over the hips. giving
the long-waisted effect now in fashion.
This belt may also be Of white linen
or a belt of the material may be used.
1t is kept in place by straps of the
linen. There may be bands of white
embroidery between the box pleats,
finishing with the pleats at the belt.
Rows Of fine tucks are also used in
place of the pleats.
The next step for the boy is the sailor
suit. This has the full blouse waist and
short rousers-knickerbock being
smart also for this small sailor suit.
For morning the suit should be OF good
dark material-linen, galatea or duck
and the best colors are dark blue. red
tan and brown. Striped galatea makes
excellent suits for these small youths
the broad collar and the diclSey being
white or of the striped material itself
Exceedingly smart are the natural
colored linen suits with short trousers
and a deep white sailor collar, cuffs and
dickey. There should be a pocket or
the left side and this may be white ol
of the linen, or again may have merely
a band of white across the top of ths
pocket. The collar may have the an.
chor and the star at the corners, and
these may also be placed in the centre
of the dickey. The strings. to be fas.
tened in front, at the joining Of tn,
collar, may be of white twisted cord OF
Of the white linen employed for tn,
| collar.
White suits for afternoon wear ar,
made on the same style. but the col
lar may have the anchor and star EN-
broidered in light blue or red silk, and
the tie may be Of the same color.

About Western Women

Louis Redfern, the Paris dressmaker.
who has returned from st. Louis. is not
very complimentary TO the taste in dress
Of the St. Louis women.
Il do not wish to make any harsh criti-
cisms," said Mr.. Redfern. but there was
such an astonishing amount of bad dress
ing out there that feel that we who have
taken really good gowns to the Exposition
are doing an educational work. Evidently
there is great wealth in ST. Louis; one
knows It by the style of the houses and
the private carriages, but not from the
dress of the women.
what is its worst feature? oh, there
is nothing smart. chic, about dt. They
must wear dreadful corsets, TO begin with,
and they have no idea of lines of beauty
I'm dress. Colors are bad, too, sometimes,
but it is the general appearance that lacks
distinction or grace.
when l got back to New York II
seemed as If it was another world. You
might have Thought you were in Parts.
And on the streets. too. you see even on
the shop girls touches Of smartness that
are utterly lacking in the Western wo-
mans dress"

Pills to be published In 1897 in our

Gus to obtaining them al Danforth's

ing pains accompanied by a stiffness in

any cold contracted always settled In
my back and made il so lame and sore
that it was a hard matter for me TO
get about. When suffering as de-
scribed above. lady called and ad-
vised me to use Doan's Kidney Pills,
saying she had thoroughly tested the
pills and found them reliable. A few
doses gave me relief and before / had
finished the box the trouble disap-
peared. Since then have had slight
recurrence but on every occasion a dose

lieved me. Any preparation which

The lack OF April and May showers
may cause a shortage in the grass crop
IN this county. although the heavy rain
yesterday was a big help. This IS an inn
'portanT crop with the farmers Of this
section and as 1t has been short the past
two years. they are now becoming uneasy
for fear It win be a failure again. Hay Is
now selling for $50 ton, which is con-
adhered high for this season.
A great many wheat fields that were
winter killed are now being plowed up and
put IN corn. Four months of continued
freezing practically killed all wheat which
was sowed late. Where the wheat hac
obtained a good start prior to the begin
