Jim ever escaped alive is a miracle.
The horse came out of it without any
injuries and was found quietly feeding
at the haystack when James arrived

WHEN INVITING A GUEST.

When inviting guest the hostess
should set the time of arrival and de
parture. Let the invitation read,
Can you spend the week of the 12lh
with u.s." 1t is unfair to the guest
not to let him know when he is ex.
pected to depart. This information
should be given delicately at the
time the invitation is extended, fol
upon the length of the visit depends
the elaborateness of the wardrobe.
If possible, it is courteous to give a
woman guest some idea of the Ell.
tertainment she will be given. If she
will attend no balls, she will need no
ball gowns, and to pack the perishabe
gowns and not to use them is to in,
jure them for nothing. 1t is only

Pettis champeaux tilted over the
face and elaborate trimming fallina

fashions revived.

CuRLS ARE PASsE.

Shocking" of the hair, that quaint
custom which prevails in the coiffures
of the little boys and little girls of the
day. is now seen on the heads of i'm
ported dolls. The beautiful long curls
that used to be cherished so fondly
by the little girl mothers in their doll
daughters are now passe, having been
pushed out of favor by the mode of
hair dressing fashionable for children
The small American girl is as pro
gressive as her elders, and when a
doll happens to retain the Samsonlike
adornment of the past her little mis-.
tress usually takes her a little apart
and shocks her by means of a
sharp pair of scissors. 1t is likely
that the prevalence of shocking"
among small girls may serve to bring
the bonnet back again into vogue

Apropos of Mrs. Charlotte Perkins
Gilman's advice to the surplus woman
hood of the east to go west in search
OF husband Emma Hartman tells
this narrowing tale in the Woman'S
Journal of case that came to her
knowledge:
The man was from Massachusetts,
He came out to this coast California,
and stayed till he had accumulated
the usual number of vices. Then he
suddenly realized that he was lonely
and went back to his native state for
a wife Handsome, of fine ply sique
intelligent, educated he had no trouble
10 find her, He brought her out here,
then, after a short interval returned
70 his old ways. She endured the
sprees, the gambling and immortality as
long as she could-then died. Again
he crossed the continent and reduced
the number of surplus women in his
state by one more. She went over the
same road When she had been in
her grave a proper time he made the
trip for the third time, bringing back
a third woman, who like her pre-
decessors, was refined and well edu
Gated. At the time the story was
told me she still lived, but in a
purgatory that completely shut the
gates to any paradise of which she
may have dreamed: and he, poor fell
low, was cursing himself for having
caused such misery to such noble
women and fighting losing battle to
free himself from the giant that
eripped him, Homes and marriages
and reforming men and uplifting
humanity are all right" she concludes,
but the woman who undertakes to
do reform work by marrying a man
will be apt to wish she had stayed in
the east and dug clans for a living"
Some new notes are seen in mid.
summer millinery which show shad-
ing from pale sun gold to orange and
on into deep nasturtium or marigold
color. This color scheme would not
suit those of conservative taste.
Lady Eleanor Wickham. the Lon.
don society leader, has a craze for
wearing little grass snakes fol
bracelets. She entices the reptiles to
twine themselves around her wrist,
then she plunges her hands and arms
into icy cold water for few mo-
ments,. with the result that the
serpents become torpid and remain in
more or less comatose state for
some hours. Thus she is able to pre-
side at afternoon tea with her arms
covered with living snakes as
bracelets.
