Methodist Conferences.

At yesterday mornings session in
Baltimore of the Baltimore annual con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Cumberland, Nd, WAS select
ed as the place of meeting tor the confer
ence next year. The date of the con-
ference will be fixed by The presiding
bishop.
An important matter was the pro-
vision for commission TO fix boundary
line between the Baltimore aud West
Virginia conferences. This commission
will be composed OF FIVE members from
each conference, and the members to
represent the Baltimore conference will
probably be announced by Bishop Will
son today. This commission became
necessary through the taking over of the
Virginia conference and the action OF the
commission in fixing the boundary line
will be final.

five feet high, very slight. extremely
fragile in appearance, not pretty but
possessed OF a most charming pair OF
dark eyes that gaze at one with a look
of wonderful gentleness and sweet
ness.
She was gowned in a loose robe OF
pale pink chiffon over a pink Louisine
slip-a beautiful frock, very daintily
made with many tucks and plaitings,
and perfectly in keeping with the
apartment and sumptuous encourage.
Nine. de Castell9ne wore a garden hat
of leghorn, tricorne in form and adorn-
ed with roses of varying shades of pink.
I noticed also her tiny shrimp-pink
satin slippers and open-work stockings
of the same shade.
Women in Paris are wearing innu-
merable Jewels at all hours Of the day
and night, and Castellane. following
this fashion, wore chain of strung
diamonds about her neck and several
beautiful bracelets OF emeralds and d.
almonds.

At a recent fashionable wedding
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt wore a
medium shade of greenish gray velvet
gown the skirt very full and decorated
with cords running around the skirt.
The top was concealed by the Paris
ian wrap to match, bOrdered with chin
chilla fur. This wrap was suggestive
of an old-time dolman, only that it was
much shorter. 1t had no collar, but
was bordered around the neck, as well
as down the sides and around the bot
tom, with a six-inch band of chinchil-
la. 1t was loose, and in the back hung
straight and square to a little below
the waist line. At the sides it dipped
several inches lower, and the wide
sleeves were also long.
Her hat was narrow, high, rolled at
both sides, and suggested a narrow
English walking hat 1t matched the
gown, and was trimmed with two wide
ostrich plumes that went from the ex-
act center of the front ovei the top of
the crown and hung down the back,
but only a little below the hat itself.
The hat followed the outline of the
head in the back, and in it's shape was
welcome relief to the forward pitch
ed hats so much seen. She carried a
chinchilla muff.

Every housekeeper can bear witness
to the fact that it is much easier to
cater to a gOod-sized family with
normal appetites than to a very small
family who tire of things before they
are eaten up, or to a "fnicky" lot of
folk who take pride in always demand
ing something a little different from
what they have. The blame for the
latter can be ordinarily traced back to
an over-indulgent mother, who began
by humoring every within, and thus
encouraging husband and children to
demand special dishes for each one re-
CARELESS of the extra time and strength
entailed in their preparation.

high enough to give a sensation of air

away a suggestion of privacy and, if

priceless. Some splendid pictures
adorn the walls, and wonderful bibelots
are scattered about upon the tables,
with here and there vases of superb
yellow and dark brown orchids.
I sat in this room a moment or two,

Some time ago, says the New York
Herald, George AIDE made a promise to
w. d. HOwells that when he had made
sufficient money by writing slang or
any trivial sort of work he would re-
vert to higher class and a more seri-
Gus consideration of his talent.
That particular time has now arriv-
ed. Mr. JADE has by books and plays
amassed a competency.
Hr. HOwells and Mr.. AIDE met again
a few days ago.
When" asked Mr.. Howels, ARE
you going to keep your promise to
me?"
Now" replied Mr.. AIDE From this
time forth l shall write no more slang"
Thank you" said Mr.. Howell, you
have done yourself and the rest of us
a favor"
AIDES original promise was made to
Mr.. Howells after the latter had read
Doc Horne" AIDES first story.
IF you keep on in this line of work, 4"
said Mr.. HoweIls, and write real char
acter studies, real pictures of Ameri-
can life, you some day will write the
great American novel 1t has yet to
be written. We are all looking for it,"
THANK you" replied Mr.. AIDE, "but
the great American public, and espe-
cially the publishers do not seem to
care for my efforts in that direction.
They like slang better"
But while you are wasting your en-
deavors on his foolish form of Iitera-
ture," persisted Mr.. Howels, You
might be doing some thoroughly good
and lasting work Good writing is not
thing of mushroom growth and. Of
course, slang under no condition is
good writing"
Then A9e promised the veteran move
list that he would quit writing slang
as soon as he could afford it,

George A. Kessler bought the art

spread around semicrcIG as sticks of
fans are. But they could not be fold

They were spread under glass in
semi-circular black frames. The auc-
tioneer announced that the buyer of
the first art fan had the privilege of
buying the four others for the same
price. The first fan brought $500. Mt
Kessler waived that privilege.
He paid $4,000 for the second art
fan, $500 for the third, So 100 for the
fourth and $4,000 for the fifth. Thus
he So ed 5000. But the fan for which
he paid $4,000 had not more artistic
value than the one for which he paid

The new blues and greens are ex-
ceedingly good in these cheviots, and

The colors are vague and will give
great service. There is usually a rea-

it is probab that the wide use of cir

In the ability to obtain restful sleep
there is much variableness in the same
person at different times and under
different influences. Profound sleep is
generally more refreshing than light
slumber, but the fact that one can be
reused without difficulty does not al
ways signify that his rest is deficient.
Quiet slumber is always more restful
than sleep that is broken by dreams,
even though the dreams be so light as
not to be impressed upon the memory.
The character of sleep is affected by
many influences, both mental and
physical. The person who, upon re-
firing for the night, fails to put away
the cares of the day that is past or
borrows the thoughts of the morrow
is slow to reach the depths of sleep
and wakes but little refreshed.
An overfilled stomach prevents sound
sleep, but hunger should be relieved be-
fore retiring, ard for this purpose there
is nothing better than a glass of warm
milk
The bed should be smooth, but Meth
err too hard nor too soft; the position
of the body preferably lying on the
right side, with the head not too high
and the disposition of the limbs such
as not to impede the circulation of the
blood. 1t is generally better not to
interfere with the fantastic attitudes of
little children until they have slept a
while; but the head must never be per-
mitted to remain covered.
For a wakeful child warm bath al
bedtime is better than drugs, and usu-
ally more effective; and. it is a safe
rule for older persons also to refrain
from taking medicines to induce sleer
until after they have tested the eff
cacy of the warm bath.
