A LITTLE TOO PREcocloUs
Small Miss Was somewhat in Adj
vance Of the Necessary Re-
quirements.

Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the secretary
Of the Yale corporation, takes profound
interest in children, says the New York
Tribune. Talking with an undergraduate.
he said the other Cay:
Children should be modest, shy, quiet.
That. type of child is apt to turn out
better in the end than the clever, tal6a-
tive, precocious type. 1t is apt to have
q broader, nobler mind The laxative
and precocious type is apt to be shallow.
For my part, / should hesitate to
promise much for the future Of so pre-
cocicus youngstsr as one in Quincy
Adams that | heard of last week.
This Quincy Adams child, little girl
Of seven or eight years, stood one day
before closed gate.
"A gentleman passed slowly. The
little girl turned and said to him:
Will you please open this gate for
me?'
The gentleman cid SO. Then ne said,
kindly:
"Why, my child, couldn't you open the
gate for YOURSELF
Because said the little girl, the
paints not dry yet. Lcok at your

Ing. It Is woman's essential duty
to have charm One who has no charm
may have every virtue III the calendar,
but will go through life an uninterest-
ing woman.
Silent girls are by no means devoid
OF charm. The most popular girl in
the world is not always the ore who
Is readiest of speech The girl who is
witty at the expense of others, who is
satfrical or ironical or places others
even momentar;ly in false position,
will never long be welcome in any com.
pany. The tongue-tied girl is in no
danger of offending in this way. Her
silence Is her shield.
One thing should be taken to heart
by all girls. and that is never to tell
anecdotes o, stories to group of lis.
teners Unless .hey know how to do it,
and are not in danger Of missing the
point. The ability to tell good story
at the right moment is as enviable an
accomplishment as the ability to play
a sonata or sing a ballad. But the
blunderer, who tells a story badly, has
the modification of seeing the effort
fall fiat. and has not always the acute
ness to understand what has hap
pened.
A tongue-tied young woman may
comfort herself by the reflection that
it is not necessary for her always to
take the lead. She should leave that
to older women. For herself she has
the beauty Of youth, the sweetness Of
the early years, and the happy feeling
that life is all before her and that the
day will come when, although she is
reserved now, she will undoubtedly
find plenty to say and many people
willing to listen to her Difidence.
resoiNtely met, will vanish like the
morning dew before the sun.
Then, is it not far more desirable to
say nothing at ali than to talk I'M
kindly of ones neighbors, or to criti-
else the absent? I would rather go
tongue-tied than gain reputation for
by gossiping unkindiy about
or friends Things, not
persons, should compose the staple Of
daily talk. Remember this. and
to-day, may be fluent to-

Draped Bodice.

The tucked and swathed bodice, which
is salient mode of the moment, can be
made becoming to both the thin and the
stout figure; but, as we must be slim, if
not thin, to be in the fashion, it follows
that every one will be thin who can, and
the rest are out Of the reckoning. As full
styles do not look we'll in fuzzy ma
terials, fine and soft face cloths, CASH
meres, and soft taffetas will be most in
vogue, but the plaid or tartan and small
checks will be greatly adopted for skirts
for morning wear, with tight-f1tting
plain black cloth jacket, cut with short
rounded basque, whilst the neck is fin
ished with the white linen collar and
tartan tie, which the Parisienne is de-
lighting to honor. Occasionally the se-
verify of the stiff collar is softened with
a narrow band Of velvet, finished with
some light steel chains in front, fas.
tened round the top.

Who Owns the Railroads?
II. T. Newcomb, of the District Of

showing that 5.174,718 depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states are
directly interested in the joint owner

their income. Other fiduciary irstitu-

to bring such holdings up to more than

sixth of the entire capital invested in
railroad property. These investments
represent the savings Of the masses,
there being twenty million holders OF
