A lEssON IN MANNERS.

A story which belongs to time
several yeas ago, when an English
duke was mich sought after person
age in New York society, is told by
Mr.. James !. Ford, in Tie Byagen
Calf.
This duke, ,ontemptuously noting
the eagerness With which New York
ers fawned upoi him, had formed the
habit of going cut to dinner without
troubling himself to put on evening
dress. A lady had invited him to
dinner without Knowing of this pecu-
liarity and was awaiting his arrival
when her butler opened the door and
cast glance at her over the heads
ofintervening guests which said plain
ly that something was wrong.
She hastened into the hall to find
the duke standing there clad in the
checked sack suit and flaming red tie
which had seemed to him ''good
enough" for dinner party of Amer
ican calf worshipers. This woman,
however, had presence of mind, and
she advanced upon him radiant and
smiling.
"No," she said decisively as she
took him by the hand "I won t accept
any excuses. You've come round to
tell me why it is that you can't dine
here tonight, and it's ever so much
nicer of you to do that than to send
a note. The dinners a little late,
and you have just time to go home
and dress and be back here before we
begin"
The nobleman opened his mouth to
reply, but his hostess shut him off in
n 5seoo,,d INC. -l--'t .---i--
member. you've only twenty min
utes, SO you must hurry"
A moment later the astonished duke
found himself hurrying toward his
hotel and perhaps wondering what
new social force it was that was i'm
pelling him in that direction.

SOME SIGNS OF A LONG LIFE.

Women are supposed to be longer
lived than men.
Some experienced persons say that
every woman carries signs that will
tell if her life is to be a short or a
long one.
The woman who desires long life
must have eyes round and wide rath-
er than long and narrow, and if they
are brown or hazel life will be longer
than If they are black or violet.
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolutely per-
pendicular. The head must be wide
behind and over the ears.
The brow must be full and well set,
and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full
through its whole length, and have
open, easy dilating nostrils: This in
dicates a good heart and good lungs.
1t the orifce of the ear is low, in
dicating deeply-seated brain, there
is better chance of long life.
The woman who appears taller in
proportion when sitting down than
when standing has a good chance to
live long. If the body is long in pro-
portion to the limbs, the heart, lungs
and digestive organs are large.
..vIl The nl3llfSen nsln',iff limos and joints
should be large and we'll formed, the
flesh neither too hard nor too soft.
