French Cleanliness"

Talk about French ''pensions!" A
friend of mine and her daughter were
boarding at one, and the latter fell
very i'll. The doctor was sent for. It
developed that every previous occupant
of the room had been i'll or complained
of not feeling well. The doctor was an
American and a practical man. He
forced the landlady to give the rooms a
thorough cleaning, and then it was dis
covered there were no fewer than seven
layers of carpet. each with its quota of
dust and germs.
And the worst of it was the woman
manifested surprise that they should
object to her simple way of renovating
her rooms every spring, for why go to
the trouble of taking up the old carpet
when it was completely hidden by the
new?
BY the way, before I close I want to
impress on your minds that dyed pom
gee-the coarser the weave the better
is just the thing for summer street
costumes, notably tailor mades. Cadet
blue, old rose, red and gray are all
smart shades. One particularly coarse
weave is called silk burlap, and this
will be much worn trimmed with bands
of plain or spotted taffeta.

taken in it by a gentle, noble woman
from this country, Mrs. E. H. Conger,
wife of the American minister at Pc
king during the beginning of the en-
pire's Transformation. 1t has been not
ed how liberal minded the terrible old
woman of China is becoming. She
gives audiences to foreign ladies, some
thing that could not possibly have
happened a few years ago. Her state
policy has been so revolutionized that
now apparently the best thing that can
happen to China will be for Isl An to
live on and administer the country's
government
Much of this change is certainly due
to Mrs. Conger. A noble woman is
Mrs. Conger, and she has also an en-
lightened understanding. In some way
perhaps it was ordained so-the en-
press made the acquaintance of just
the white woman who could influence
her for good, a woman of whom it has
been said. Nobody could come under
the influence of Mrs. Conger without
being the better. for it."
Mrs. Conger had no personal aims to
gain, no social ambition to achieve and
no social rival to get ahead of. All that
she considers so much rubbish. IN
worthy the thought OF one who per-
ceives even dimly the splendid destiny
unfolding before the human race.
So with not a single personal aim to
gain for either herself or her husband,
with no creed to urge upon Isl An,
who would have taken alarm instantly
in that case. the wise gentle, high soul
ed American woman obtained an inf1u-
ence over the iron old empress that is
resulting in incalculable good.
