WoMAN's VARIOUS CHARMS
a Clever Definition of Some of the
Most Captivating Character
istics of the Fair Seq.

Animation, brightness, viyacity are
some of Woman's most captivating
charms. A tear may move pity, but it
IS a smile that commands admiration.
Even a witty woman must not be for
ever sparkling-that is monotonous
and wearying;; the perpetual flashing
OF diamonds tires the eyes and the
brain. She must have her sober mo.
ments, If only to throw TITO higher
relief the moments when she is gay.
A woman is most charming when she
IS tender and sympathetic She may
dazzle when she is merry, but when
she is gentle and full of sympathy she
enchants mans heart When her
voice takes a softened tone, and her
eyes look words that her lips hesitate
TO say-then, if she only knew her
power, it would be a time of peril for
the world at large! She could do with
1t what she chose; only she never
knows it. Probably she charms the
most when she is most unconscious of
her power. The very Inconsistencies

Sarcasm may amuse when it is di-
rected against some one else, but 1t

scious, lively, tender and gentle-then,
indeed, she is charming to all the
world. Sometimes she possesses a
quality known as fascination, which NO
one has ever yet been able to define
a quality outside of and beyond all the
attractions above mentioned, and indie
pendent of them to the ordinary eye.
But with this fascination a very good

COST OF LOUIS BUTTONS.
"Grand Monarque'' Said to Have
squandered S., 1000, 900 to Sat
isfy Peculiar Mania.

Twenty thousand dollars for a drop
shaped pearl scarf pin, $4,000 for a
pearl stud, s4,940 for coat fastener
formed of white bouton pearl with
gold bar. $3.50 for seven buttons en-
suite and SITS for pair of brilliant
sleeve links-these are a few Of the
prices realized at the recent sale in
London of a noble marquis jeWelry.
But, after all, everything is compare
tive, and the marquis gems, rare and
costly though they are, would have
been quite eelipsed by Louis XIV.'s per-
sonal jewelry. The grand monarque"
had many crazes, but for buttons he
had positive mania. IN single year
1885. he squandered 100000 on them.
and some Of his purchases are well
worth glancing at. On August /, 1856,
he bought two diamond buttons for CT
$3.50 francs, and rs diamond buttons
for 5S6,703 francs. The buttons for q
the 354 "boutonnieres' used 1852 con-
tanned five diamonds each, while the
remainder were single diamonds. In
all, the great monarque' is said TO
have spent 100000 on buttons alone.

Peppers Stuffed with Rice.

Cut the tops from green peppers and
remove the seeds, taking care not to
get them on the fingers any more than
possible; they have an unpleasant
fashion of burning badly; throw the
peppers into boiling water and cook
them for ten minutes. take them out
and dry; set them upright in a baking
dish and fill them with boiled rice; put
a piece OF butter about the size OF a
hickory nut On top of the rice in each
one, lay on the tops of the peppers,
which have been put aside to serve for
covers. and set the dish in the oven
for ten minutes, that the peppers and
the contents may be heated through
and the butter melted.-Good Litera-

TWO HANDY coNTRlvANcEs
Little Things That Add to the Com
Sort Of Travellers Cooped Up
in Hotel Rooms,

When travelling around the land and
particularly when taking a vacation
jaunt in summer, the average individ-
ual does not expect to enjoy all the
comforts Of home at the hotel or
boarding house by the shore or inland.
The increase in numbers of the travel
ing public has in these later years
brought about diminution of discom-
fort for the tourist, and ingenious
mortals rack their brains and sit up
nights evolving eontrivanees that shall
help to make the travellers way more
agreeable and pleasant. Scarcity of
closet room is the cry all over the land
where summer tourists seek temporary
quarters, and the coat hanger devised
for the use of the traveller fills a spc-
cial want. The most placid minded,
even-tempered woman does not view q
