Milady's Manners.

1t is no doubt quite rs impossible to
indict a sex as it is to indict Il nation;
and yet several recent episodes suggest
the question, certainly an unpleasant one
to ask, whether the manners of women
have not deteriorated somewhat with the
growth of their so-called freedom There
are few critics. even of the reactionary
type, who would advocate seriously a
return to the somewhat stilted fashion
of former days.
What the older novelists liked to call
female delicacy" was perhaps too much
in evidence at the strenuous moments OF
life. We do not appreciate today the
young woman who faints too easily. In
deed, the modern ideal is distinctly attn
letic, and very good thing, too Never
Jleless, it would be pity if Astounding
physical vigor had been achieved at the
expense of the gentle feminine graces.
a girl can ride we'll without acquiring
the air and language of hoster, and
she can set out to earn her own living,
it may be permitted to hope, without
becoming strident, unsexed creature.
The most cynical commentator on his
kind would not assert that no good man
ners are left; but the statement that
they are less frequent than they should
he. and that bad manners too often
thrust themselves upon the public CON
sciousness, is only too true.-Proyidence

How to Cook for Husbands.

Many husbands are spoiled by mis-
management in cooking, and so are not
tender and good Some good wives
keep their husbands constantly in hot
irritating ways. Some roast them
some keep them in a pickle all their
lives; others think they need TO be
blown up occasionally, and others let
them freeze by their carelessness and in
difference.
1t cannot be supposed that any hus-
band will be tender and good, managed
in this way. But they can be made
really fine and delicious when properly
cooked. LII selecting a husband n wom-
an should not be guided by the sill
very appearance, as in buying fish, nor
by the golden tints, as if she wished
salmon. BE sure and select him your
self, as tastes differ. Do not go to the
Earket for him, as the best are Away $
brought to the door. 1t is far better TO
have none, unless you will learn pa
tiently how to cook him. See that the
linen in which you wrap him is nicely
washed and mended, with the required
number of strings and buttons sewed OIL

ills until they are done. Add a little
sugar in the form of what confectioners
call kisses. But use no vinegar or pep

proves, but it must be used with judg-
lnent.
Do not stick any sharp instrument into
him to see if he is becoming tender. You
cannot fail to know when he is done.

digestible, agreeing nicely with you. and
he will keep perfectly unless you become
careless and set him in too cool place

friendly converse about the absent

ing the report, which has now assumed
that proportion, they will Indignantly
deny the charge, assert that loyalty
again and really feel innocent of what
they are accused.
"Yet they are directly accountable,
through their Idle conversation. their
careless indulgence in personalities, of
having probably done friend Il hope

True, it is more interesting to dis
cuss people-the people that one knows
best-but if the conversation too con-
tinuously hinges on one, person, no mat

they are, there is c niger Of something

ridicules another woman to that de-
gree when it becomes noticeable, that
she Injuries l.erself far NOR than the
object of her dislike. In the case of
the abuse being INDUCED in before
men, the latter are at once touched
with feeling for the one being roasted,
as they term it, and the general impress
sion justly entertained by well-bred
men and women is that nothing is so
condemned in woman as her uncharit-
able comments about another
"These little comments may be direct
or they may be insinuating; they may
even have their effect for the time be-
ing on those who hear them, but in
variably the woman associates will in
the end be recognized as more 'sinned

criticism will always react upon the

FAVORITE LILIES.

The lilies, with the exception of can
didum and exelsum, may be planted to
advantage in November. Auratum, the
beautiful gold banded lily Of Japan, is
best set ten or twelve inches deep; the
others from four to six inches deep.
The lancifolium or speciosum varieties
are perhaps the most popular lilies
grown, as they are of easy culture and
produce large flowers Of delicate beauty
on strong stems.
The lancifolium lilies include album
(white), rubrum white shaded with
rose and spotted with deep red, and
melpomene rich blood crimson, heav-
lily spotted. These lilies grow from

Everybody knows the splendid tiger
lilies, with their rich tones of scarlet
or orange salmon, spotted with black.
The thumbergianums range from lem
on color to orange red. Hansoni is a
fine dark yellow. The superbum, or
Turks cap, is deep orange red, thick
ly spotted.
Lilium brownii has beautiful flowers
of immense size, inside creamy white,
outside shaded chocolate purple.
Most lilies prefer partial shade, and
the tall sorts should have protection
from high winds.

An Eccentrlo Historian.

Like most men of genius, the late
Prof Mommsen, the great German
historian, had striking eccentricities,
One of these was Observation-Disclosures
He permitted his hair to be frlzzledl
off by candle by whose light he was
reading. But the most CHARACTERISTIC
incident was his thrusting an infant
into his waste paper basket when 1t
cried. Bismarck had not much re-
spect for Mommsen as public man,
but 1t would have gladdened the old
Chancellor's heart to see the scholar
publicly reprobating the language of
the Kaiser not long ago. No other
man outside the Socialist ranks dared
have done such thing in Germany

REDUCING YOUR WEIGHT.

FROM fashions standpoint there is
no more important question just now
before the feminine community than
how to get thin.s
The elongated, almost attenuated,
type OF womanhood is now in favor,
with the result that women who do
not match that type are worrying over
the problem of how to reduce their
weight or at least how to keep from
adding to it.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no
royal road to leanneSs.
Systematic, partial starvation is a
method that never fails to work, but
few women have the courage to under
go this treatment year in and year out;
and the moment it is stopped two
ounces of flesh, it seems, come hurry
ing back for every one that was lost

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

No 1 fruit put up in good shape is
the grower.
Cultivating and pruning are the most
important items during the first years
of an orchard.
1t is none too early to look up your
sprayer, for you have got to spray or
lose your fruit trees.
Many trees and plants fail to make
a satisfactory start through lack Of
proper pruning at the start.
Less acreage and better care would
be good policy for some people to
adopt in their fruit growing opera
tons.
Has your plum tree black knots on
it? Cut the whole black knot business
away and burn it, Perhaps there are
some also on your cherry trees.
Send for the fruit tree catalogues
study up varieties and be prepared
with your order. First come, first
served is the motto of nurserymen.
If the orchard and berry patch have
the right kind of treatment they will
produce results that will be satisfac-
tory to the owner as far as yield is
concerned.
Did you keep a record of results
from garden seed you planted last
year? If you did, profit by that ex-
perience when the time comes to make
your selections.

BELIEVE IN YOUR FRIENDS.


Human beings live up to our ideas
of them. II you require much of a
man, the chances are that he will try
to meet that requirement. You pay a
tribute to the manhood or womanhood
of an individual every time you show
Delief i'll him; and since even the low
est has spark of bigness in his ma
ture, he cannot but be touched by that
belief, says the Woman's Home Com
paniOn. It is, if you will, a subtle sort
of hattery to expect goodness and
truth and wisdom from poor human
beings, but it is fattery in the right
direction; it is not selfish; it tends to
aid the tlattered, and not the flatterer.
CyniciSm and disbelief are on the
other hand, an invitation to the cow
ardly. They are nothing more than a
cOndonement of wrong 70 the man
who expects nothing, nothing will be
realized. Do you care TO prove to a
man that you are manly if he sneers
at you fOr fool and suspects a dark
er motive for your goodness? Not so.
and fresher when you have come i'll
contact with a soul who believes In
the Inherent good of the race and of
you az an individual?
The lesson is plain. Not only at
tempt to reach higher mark in your
own living but be one of those cheer
full souls who believe in the people
about them. Require of your friends
that they act wisely. Show some trust
in their motives. Believe in their vir-
tue and goodness until you have OBJ
solute proof in the other direction. SO
will you be giving them push up the
HILL instead of, like the cynic. contin-
ually dragging them down by the coat
tails. The cynic may tell you that
you are foolish, he may laugh at your
innocence; never mind, his belief is
no mere philosophy, and it has the
added disadvantage Of not being cheer
full. Belief is positive, disbelief is
negative, and positiveness is the most
bracing philosophy.
