EIRsT IMPRESSIONS.

The impression we make upon others
rebounds upon ourselves, either pleas
antly or unpleasantly, as the case may
be, for we cannot expect to make
friends if we are not friendly or to re-
ceive kindness and courtesy if we show
neither. When our good qualities are
hidden away by ourselves, as are dia-
mondS in a mine, we cannot expect
strangers to know of their existence or
be disappointed if they do not display a
desire to search for them.
Even in the outside of our homes and
the way we keep them first impressions
go a long way. If a house has a for
lorn and uncared for appearance, with
dirty windows, crumpled curtains and
blinds pulled up crookedly and anyhow,
we at once come to the conclusion that
the mistress of il is careless and neg
Iectful and are not the least surprised
that the servant who answers the front
door has grimy hands, a soiled apron
and disheveled head of hair.
It is just the same with people. a

left to guess. When Yonk's boy Daoy
was born Yonk said:
1.-THE boy shall not have a name put
upon him that he'll hate when he's old
enough. He shall choose his own
name" .
The infant was called simply Boy
in the Yonk family. After awhile ne
went to school. The teacher asked MIN
his name. "Yonk," replied the boy.
But what's your first name-your

The youth is nearing manhood now
and has not yet selected any first name

to live up to such a pile of names as
members of the British royal family
have to travel with.

POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.

On the matter of introductions al
ways remember the rule that the infe-
rior, so to speak, must be presented to
the superior; a single woman is in
troduced to a married one and a gen.
tleman is introduced to a lady. 1t is
not necessary for a lady to rise from
her seat when a gentleman is intro
duced unless he is her host or is very
old or distinguished.
Then, about calling, when a new
conner comes to a district the older res
idents call first, never the other way.
The first call must be returned within
a week. Calls after entertainments
must be paid within the week. and the
lady of the household must be asked
for after dinner or dance, but a gar
den party makes the exception to the
rule, and there is no occasion to call
after this form of entertainment.
The etiquette of visiting and card
leaving is another source of difficulty
to many. Cards should be left on a
first visit. A lady leaves two of her
husbands cards and one Of her own on

GIRLS IN AUSTRIA,

Austrian girls are carefully taught in
school until they are fifteen years old.
They are not during this time kept en-
tirely out of society, but are dressed
with the greatest simplicity, never
wearing a silk gown until they have
left school and attend their first ball.
On leaving the schoolroom they have
one or two years training in the kitch-
en- and pantry, either by some member
of their own family or under a trained
cook in another'S house Though they
may never be required to cook for
themselves, they know exactly how ev-
erything should be done and long be-
fore they set up housekeeping on their
charge of a household. They make
most affectionate wives and mothers.
An Austrian lady is said to be as ac-
complished and learned as an English
governess, as good a cook and house
keeper as German, as bright and witty
in society as Partisan and as hand
some as an American. In Vienna are
found some of the most beautiful wo-
men in Europe. Austrian girls are
brought up in habits of industry and
are rarely seen without some kind of
work in hand. They are famous for
their great piles of linen, a certain
number of yards of which are every
year from a girls birth woven and laid
aside for her marriage portion. The
grandmothers spend much of their time
in knitting for their grandchildren, not
only supplying their present need, but
laying by dozens of stockings of every
kind for the young girls rousseau.
Some of these stockings are as fine as
the finest woven ones.

A CRIME AGAINST
HELPLESS INNOCENTS.

n mr.. AND MRS. WILLING have
M dear little daughter one year
old. She is as lovely a fairy
and as spry and graceful She has
large sky blue eyes, from which love,
sweet temper and intelligence beam
like sun rays. Her hair is pale golden
and curls in the loveliest little rings all
over her pretty head. Bless the child!
She is creature to love and caresS and
to make her parents VOW they will
work their fingers to the bone to give
her every advantage civilization at
fords.
Although this child is only a year old,
she can walk, even run merrily and
steadily upon her tiny feet. She is
really an uncommon infant, that baby.
But what sort of an awful, unholy
name do you suppose the little angel
has been saddled with? The fathers
relatives are cit in that family, and the
mother and her kin are nobody. The
girl was named for her fathers mother
and her fathers aunt. The grandmoth
er's name was Mary. which was not
bad. The grandaunt's name was Jane,
just plain Jane, which also is not bad
alone, being a fine, strong mOnoSylla-
BILE. The James are always sensible.
But the foolish and conceited relatives
hooked the two names together and
blighted the poor infant with the name
of Mary Jane. Say it to yourself out
full length and see how it sounds
Mary Jane The husbands Aunt Jane
was a dominating, high nosed person
who had money and who ruled all her
kin like old Empress Isl An of China.
That was because Aunt Jane had mon
ey, which she knew her relatives hoped
to get.
OF all the villainous unions of Chris
tian names, for some reason the Jane
combinations are the worst, perhaps
because selfish relatives always insist
on calling the horrid appellation out in
full. There are Martha James, Eliza
beth James. Hannah James and even
Susan James. My sisters, drop the aw-
full combination. Don't spoil a sweet
little girl babys luck for life with such
a team of names.
Once there was a man who insisted
on naming his infant daughter Keren
Happuchl Why is it that men always
will NEEDLE with girl babies names?
Because ones father is Jehoshaphat
or Habbakuk or Nehemiah or Aminidab
or Bildad the Shuttle why should a
hapless boy baby, too young to even
know the crime perpetrated against
him, be marked for life with such
cognomen? Better, far better, the de-
cision of Yonk, the undertaken, to let
his son reach years of understanding
without any Christian name and then
choose one for himself Yonk was a
thriving undertaken in a not too health
full district. He was a happy family
man, growing in riches and promi-
hence among his fellow citizens as the
years went on; but, like Paul, he had
one thorn in the flesh. 1t was his
Christian name which for some reason
he hated as Satan hates holy water.
He never used it, and none knew what

There's a Fitness In Dress.

inere a FITNESS IN OFSSS.
The well dressed woman is the one
whose costumes match from head to
foot. She may not have more than two
dresses, but she has hat for each one,
and the gloves match, and so does the
petticoat. When a man remarks that a
woman looks stunning, half the time he
means that she is well matched from
top to toe.
1 heard a husband trying to impress
this on his wife the other day. They
occupied the seat back of me in the
car.
1.-The trouble with you, Mary, is
that you don't lay out money to the
best advantage. 1 don't mind your
spending it, you know that, but, for
heavens sake, get some result. You
never look well put together like other
women. Now you are going to wear a
brown suit for every day all winter
long, why on earth did you buy that
red hat? Yes, 1 know it is pretty and
becoming. but you will be in two pieces
when you have to wear it with the
brown suit, and neither the brown suit
nor the hat will look we'll as a conse-
quence. And what will you do with
that pink waist? Wear it evenings
with a white skirt? Yes, but your
white evening hat has a touch of or
ange in it. Why didn't you get white
waist instead and add a touch of or
ange to that?' Which shows that par

perplexed females and the answers
thereto in the magazines and daily
papers. One thing strikes me forcibly

wife for a year or more, who laments
that she does not possess her hus-

remarkable to relate, doesn't seem to
be some other woman, but the devotion
of the head of the house to business, a
devotion ten times more engrossing,
according to the lady, than any other
more romantic affection could be-
Now why is it that in this country
the wife and husband SO frequently
drift apart after the first year or so
of marriage? In Europe the natives
are shocked to see the American wo-
man travelling everywhere without her
husband. Visitors to this country are
likewise amazed to see her wrapped up
in her clubs and social obligations.
They go home and praise the liberty
the American woman enjoys-that is.
they praise the hard worked American
man whose devotion to his wife is so
intense that he denies himself the

She has her good times and friends, and
1 have my work and my friends, who
are my business associates, and we get
along capitally without interfering with
each other" How often one finds a
case of this kind! The wife takes no
interest in her husbands business,
and when he comes home at night full
of his many interests he cannot find
any pleasure in discussing the latest
modes, the servant question or even the
whyness of the wherefore as regards
literature and art. He is living real
vital issues, and he is interested in
them; therefore when the supposed
partner of his joys, sorrows and am
billions proves to be no partner at all,
even in the sense of taking interest in
the things that mean so much to him,
he simply shuts up like a clam and
goes to his club, where he can talk it
over with the men, or he shuts him
self up in his den and works some
more.

gracious manner, a frank look and a
pleasant smile impress us at once and
favorably. Our liking is attracted, and
we desire the friendship of such people,
be they young or old.
There are, of course, many occasions
when a first impression, whether good
or bad, may be and is modified by a
further knowledge and more intimate
acquaintance, and though this is a fact
that has often been proved, there are
still many people wAo assert that even
when this does happen there comes a
time that shows them that their frat

subsequent British protectorate it was
for the first time thrown open to ex-
plorers of all nations. Some English
friends of Miss Boyd formed an ex-
ploring party. She became SO interest
ed that she, too, arranged a party of
her own to make excavations in Crete,
using half of her school fellowship fund
for the purpose. This was in 1900. She
made some important finds, which she
turned over to the museum in Crete.
In the fall of 1900 the girl explorer
returned to America and became in
structor in archaeology at Smith col
lege, of which she is an A. NJ. During
the winter following she was invited to
read to the American Institute of Ar
