Iigence. to know the difference between
meddling and doing a kindness. One
of the latter win take a little trouble
and go out of his. way to accommodate
a stranger, while the sticlller will say
no or yes and no more. If a boy comes
to your door and asks If Mr.. Smith
lives there and you say no, without at
the same time informing him that Mr..
Smith lives across the street, you
would certainly be failing in small
way to be courteous and dora kindness.
But the man who always minds his
own business affairs never vOuchsafes
any information without direct ques-
ton. This petty way of acting Is one
form of SelfishnesS and 1t must be said
that it is not feminine falling. Once
in while one finds a woman who is

pens to anybody, but most. women are
apt to err on. the other side and be too
loquacious. However, the majority Of
them may do many kindly things which
would be omitted If the old maxim was
taken literally.
The man who SO strictly minds his
own affairs will never ask a question.
When he goes home at night and tells
his wife something that has been told
him during the day she will say, But
didn't you ask him how 1T happened
or the details?" and he will reply that
of course he did not, all of which is
very maddening to a woman. She
wants to know all about 1t and will
ask ten questions if necessary until
she finds out. Very few men ask ques-
tions, that is in ordinary conversation.
while feminine talk is simply bristling
with Interrogation points. Many man
does not ask questions from a nice del
icacy and desire not to meddle, while
some others do not ask because they
don't care to have any one think that
they do not know it all. These things
come from differences of temperament
and degrees of intelligence.
To mind ones own business is safe
proceeding generally, but there are ec-
casions when kindness toward others
demands certain relaxation of this
rule and when one finds an intelligent
man has apparently interfered with
the affairs of others, it is pretty certain
he thought he was doing some good.

Today's model illustrates a eamel's-
hair walking suit for mountain wear,
the yoke being of cream linen canvas
embroidered by hand in Persian colors.
The color of the material is deep pine
green and there is drop lining of taft
feta in the same shade. The skirt is in
eight cores. laid in graduated box
plaits, and a three-inch hem finishes.
The waist is a decided departure from
both the tailor-made and the shirt
waist styles, and is especially designed
for slight figures. The yoke extends
in straps at front and over shoulders
and is outlined by kerchief ruffie with
henstitched border. Beneath this there
is but little fullness, which at waistline
is in two plaits and blouses at front.
The bishop sleeves are box plated and
have cuffs with strap ends of the en-
broidered canvas The belt is green
leather.
Although the wide brimmed hat is Of
ecru felt with a quill of shaded brown,
the double wreath is Of pink button

soft twist of chiffon in a smoky brown.

in coats and will probably even be more
popular than baby lamb or Persian.
The bitter cold of the past three
months has convinced the public that
fur wraps are necessity both for COM
fort and health, and the furriers are
combining regal embroideries or bro
cades with the various furs, and are
giving graceful lines in place of the
former straight and somewhat clumsy
effects. Neck pieces and muffs in mex
pensive furs are within the reach of all
purses, and in these the brown furs
last the best and look well with any
color gown Bands of fur also will be
used in trimming, both wavy and
straight, and in-the latter the top edge
will be cut in blocks or points to do
away with the extreme severity that
fur trimmings usually give. Discs of
fur in varied sizes will also be applied
in border effects and astrakhan is the
leading fur for this. A very beautiful
opera cloak could be made of white
broadcloth with white astrakhan discs
top-stitched on with gold, and gold
rim lace inset.

Account for These Things

Men say that to-nind ene's business
is always best, but the masculine con-
tingent to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, there are occasions when it Is a
positive charity not to mind strictly
ones own affairs. Many morose,
cross man minds his business, but
that is not accounted great virtue If
he never does kindness for anyone
else 1t is rather difficult. to cite in
stances when not minding ones own
business is a kindness, but if none of
us knew anything save just what con-
cerned us there would be lots more
trouble in the world than there is. Let
us imagine case;
Suppose a woman came to a house
where a physician had just left and
asked some one there where he had
gone, and no one knew. Now suppose
a woman who lived next door and was
sitting on her porch should have over
heard the physician say where he was
going. By strictly minding her bust
ness she would say nothing, but it
would be much more kind of her to
tell what she had heard, particularly
if he was much needed. Instances of
this kind can be multiplied.
A man who had an office next to a
lawyer was the sort of person who al
ways attended strictly to his own af-
fairs. Almost every day some one
would come in and ask him if he
knew where the lawyer was and he
would invariably reply no, not because
he didn't know, but because he de-
sired to mind his own business. Often
times to mind ones own affairs means
to be churlish, unobliging and dis
agreeable. There are, of course, many

tremeTy reprehensible, but there are

Good Church Report From Ireland

ROME. Aug. 25.-Cardinal Vincenzo
Vannutelli has returned here from his
visit to Ireland, where he represented
the pope at the reopening of Armagh
cathedral July "a. He was received in
audience by, the pope today and made
his report. He says he was accorded
an enthusiastic reception and that
many honors were paid him. For the
first time since the fall of the temporal
power of the popes the papal flag was
hoisted on the steamer carrying the
cardinal and was saluted by British
warships, while Lord Dudley, lord lieu
tenant of Ireland, treated him as q
prince of the blood. The cardinal said
that the faith in Ireland does not affect
the people of Ireland alone, but eX-
tends beyond the seas into various
countries, especially to America and
Australia, to which the Irish have been
forced to emigrate. Thus they are be-
coming centers for the propaganda Of
the faith wherever they are trans-
planted. The pope was most pleased
wit4f-the cardinals report and express
ed his intention of soon issuing a docu-
ment in which he will express his feel
ing towards Ireland.

USE FOR HOMEMADE PASTRY.
One Dose Sufficient to Keep Tramps
from the Door.


from the Door.
"We owe our immunity from tramps
to pastry" proclaimed a recently mar
ried Germantown man. Better yet,
my wife made the pastry. 1t was this
way. To begin with, she insists upon
the pastry. She makes cakes, and
even pies, but she always forgets
some important Ingredient; so one
time thing will be as heavy as lead,
and the next as wet as water-this is
when she is stingy with the flour.
ut so happened early in our game
of housekeeping that tramp applied
at the back gate for something to eat.
Ny wife said she was sorry, but there
was nothing to spare, and in repeat
ing it to me she added that everything
we had was too fine to spoil by cut
ting. l espled her latest in cake Il
had already discovered it's leaden

it, telling her that selfshness was I'M
too seldom practiced. Now, whatever
that tramp told his brethren l don't
know, nor do I know if he ate the
cake and died, or was Drained with it
by some jealous one who wrenched it
from him. But I do know that no
tramp has since ventured to approach
us with a request for food. Taking
the cake was no merry jest.-Phila-

Gen. Tracy's Queer Hand,

Some time during the year before
Gen. Tracy was appointed secretary
OF the navy and went to Washington
to live, the Tracys had in their Brook
iyn home an Irish servant girl who
was something of character. Tall,
rawboned and muscular, cross-eyed
and tracked, she was not much to
look at, but her dignity was not to be
trifled with. Unable to read or write,
Ter ingenuity in eVading the admis-
sion was source of much amusement
tc her employers. One day when the
members of the family were all away
in the country she received a telegram
from the general, and, taking it
around to the grocery store, she said
to the proprietor, whom she knew
well: "
tom, there's just one word in this
telegram I can't make out. The gen.
eral does write such queer hand
