Concerning Women

According TO Mrs. Kate Upson Clark,
the way to be happy, though a genius, is
never to marry "The poets WIFE" said
Mrs. Clark in a recent address, does not
care for poetry after the first week. any
more than the grocer's boy does for figs.
She rever wishes to tell of the neighbor-
hoods gossip but she interrupts some
great thought of her husbands; then he
imagines she is bereft of sympathy and
looks for it in the wives and daughters Of
his neighbors, and If he is handsome he
usually finds it. The genius should not
marry. A woman wants her husband-not
his art. Genius is insanity. In order to
lbe a genius he lives most of the time in
IA world OF deep emotions. It is hard for
people of artistic temperament to con-
form to ordinary rules. Thus divorce, sui
eide, drunkenness and impulsive vices are
found among people OF genius The ire
presslble temperament seems to be abso-
lutely necessary to art
The women of Venice are absolutely free
from the rule which Dame Fashion eXer-
cises over their sisters elsewhere. They
care nothing for modes. With them the
length of the skirt remains always the
same, neither short nor long, and they
always wear plainly made dark dresses,
black stockings and the heelless slippers
of the east. Hats are unknown. The uni
versal outdoor wrap for all ages and all
sizes is the black shawl, with a deep silk
en- fringe. It is folded with a short point
above and long one below, and some
times 1t envelops the figure from head
to foot. It is never fastened at the throat,
and when it slips off it is gathered VI
with one outstretched arm, which makes
the spectator think of a big bird stretch
ing its wing. In their attire the women OF
Venice are Independent, only wearing To-
cal clothing, but, with feminine incon-
sistency. they are thoroughly up to date
in the manner of hairdressing, the style
of their coiffures changing from time e
time. according. to the vogue Of the mo
ment in London and Paris.

Is girls wear their hair interlaced with
red crepe I'm a semicircle round the head,
the forehead being left free, with a curl
at each side. From Is till 30 the hair is
worn high on the forehead and gathered
at the back into butterfly or fan shape
and Is decorated at the back with silver
cord and perhaps with colored balls. After
the age of 30 women wear their tresses
round a tortoiseshell pin. Different styles
of hairdressing are affected by maidens,
wives and widows and a glance will tell
whether a widow intends to remain faith
ful to- the memory of her late husband
or whether she would like to marry again.

Care of Plants for Winter

Give plants all the fresh air you can.
Open doors and windows at some dis
tance from them on pleasant days and
give them a chance to breathe in pure
oxygen in liberal quantity. Give all
the sunshine you can. And aim to keep
the temperature of the room between
20 degrees by day and 55 at night. 1t
viii probably exceed these figures in
both directions, but try to regulate 1t
in such a way as to avoid the extremes
of intense heat and dangerous cold.
Use water literally on the foliage OF
your plants. By washing off the dust
it keeps open the pores of the leaves
through which they breathe and II
tempers the hot dry atmosphere us
ually prevailing in the living room. The
only way to modify this condition is to
keep water constantly evaporatng or
the stove or register and make fire.

The Christmas Table

The table on Christmas should sug-
gest in a special manner the day that
nature usually gives out-of-doors. The
same snow and ice, the same glitter
and sparkle, the same Christmas
greens, ought to have place within as
without. To carry out the idea drape
the dining room with ground pine and
holly and festOon the chandelier. Lay
the table with the snowiest Of dinner
cloths. and on it arrange a large CEN
trail wreath Of holly, and. if the table
is round and large enough to bear IT,,
another wreath just inside the covers.
Within the smaller wreath place a
small white image Of Santa Claus in a
sleigh drawn by reindeer and fill the
sleigh with small candy snOwballs. II
you do not find a white toy of the kind.
take what you can get and with a tube
of oil paint or a can of enamel cover
the whole. Then sprinkle the holly and
the sleigh and driver with a quantity
OF diamond dust, such as you can buy
for a trihe in a paint shop If the San
ia Claus is still wet with the paint tn,
dust will stick all the better.

Concernin6 Women

Glove manufacturers say that they now
make No. woman's glove larger than
they did five years ago. This is because
women have become more athletic and
thin hands have accordingly grown larg-
er. But they won't acknowledge it and
stir insist on wearing the same number
ed glove.
The autograph tablecloth is a fad of
certain ladies who are clever with their
needles, and who also like TO preserve the
autographs OF friends. One such table
cloth is said 70 be of great interest. 1t
belongs to a parliamentary journalist who
entertains large groups of statesmen and
other notabilitles. and it is used on these
interesting occasions. Just before the
guests leave the table they are asked to
write their names i'm lead-pencil on the
damask and, at her leisure. the hostess
embroiders the autographs in silk. Such a
relic of feasts Of the mighty ought to be
handed down as an heirloom, and some
day this queer collection Of interesting au-
tographs will probably be even more
valued than it is by its present owner.
In connection with the approaching we'd
ding of Viscount Bangors eldest son, it is
stated that the pen used to sign the mar
riage register will be one of historic in
terest, which has served this purpose in
the Ward family for some generations. 1t
is a Quill pen and was used by the repre-
sentatives OF the high contracting powers
in signing the treaty Of Vienna. The Wis
count Bangor Of the day, then acting as
secretary TO Lord Castlereagh, kept the
pen, which has since been preserved in his
family as historic memento, and is used
by his descendants for marriage registra-
tion.

Glass CandIesticks

Glass candlesticks and lamps are in
much greater variety than is usually
found and both in cut and pressed
glass are pretty and useful
Nothing better that is inexpensive
also can be found for lighting a dining
table than these same glass affairs,
candles being the simplest and lamps
perhaps the most satisfactory in the
long run.
For country-house use they are much
liked and give a charm to even a single
table that no other one thing can i'm
part.
All table pressed glass Is so superior
to that OF few years ago that it is
preferred by some people 70 cut glass,
even when the difference in price has
not to enter into the question, the So
called colonial designs being the best
choice decidedly, and while many OF the
same shapes come in cut glass also it
would seem that more ingenuity is dis
played in the cheaper forms.

Many a woman who would not think Of
lightly breaking a promise made 10 q
grown-up person is utterly careless about
keeping her word with her children. She
promises whatever is convenient at the
moment and apparently thinks that the
breaking or keeping of those promises is a
matter in which she can please herself
and that her children have no right to
consider themselves aggrleved If she does
not do so A mother who acts thus does
her child grievous harm. She forgets that
the sense Of justice is strong in quite a
little child and that it is natural and
reasonable that he should expect his par
ents to be as good as their word and to
fulfill their promises even at the cost Of
inconvenience. Promises should not be
lightly broken mad the parent who is
guilty of this soon loses his children s
confidence which is one OF the sweetest
things which our little ones can give us.
When boys and girls learn to doubt their
parents truthfulness they soon look
around for some they can trust and on
that person they shower their affection
and bestow their confidence.

was taken suddenly i'll Thursday
night with cramps and a kind Of
cholera. His case was so severe that
he had to have the members of the
crew wait upon him and MIR. Clifford
was called and consulted. He told
them he had a medicine in the form
of Chamherlain's Collie, cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought
would help him out and accordingly
several doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was able to
be around next day. The incident

Going to Pierre you would be wait.
ing at Sioux City to begin a day and
night ri lie, when the passenger for
Mitchell has reached his destination
and is snugly in bed, and will be
ready for his days work after a re-
freshing sleep.
But when the Milwaukee shall
have completed its line to the Hills
you can enter a sleeper at 10 p. M.
in Deadwood and wake up in Mitch
ell the next morning for early break-
fast. These are facts. and they can
not be disputed. 1t is for the Hills
people to say which they prefer.
The Northwestern road has bene-
fitted the Black Hills. but its work
has had in it no element of generos-
ity. 1t has never laid a rail except for
its w benefit. Its fare was five
cents d mile for years, then it re-
duced to four, Its freight rates
have been increased instead of de-
creased. The people of the Hills
have paid for all the accommoda-
lions they have received except the
men who ride Oh passes. That they
may keep on the pass list, they will
try to persuade the voters that
Pierre is the place for the capital to
remain, and that the Black Hills
should be hostile to the extension CT
the Milwaukee road. These are
facts for the VI ter to ponder.
