The Rrotherless Girl.

The girl without a brother is espe-
{ lily to be pitied. She is the girl who
is never certain of getting the pleasures
of life unless she is very attractive. OF
course, she has 10 brother who she is
certain will take her everywhere; she
is apt to get a Little bit vain, for she
has no brother to tell her, as only a
brother will, of her faults and mistakes.
1t is only the somewhat doubtful tact
of brother that announces Il wouldn't
walk up the street with you in that
frock."
And the girl whose brother says this
to her may be certain that he is only
expressing the opinion Of other girls
brothers.
He may not do it in the most gentle
way, but he does tell the truth, and If
you ask him why paying visit to an
other girl is more desirable than to Cne
you know, he will sit down and look at
you, and then he will say-"Well, you
see, it is just this way From the time
you get there she is a nice girl, who
gives you a pleasant welcome and yet
don't gush over you. She is entertain
ing, and yet she has a fashion Of put
ting down nasty gossip or silly talk
among whoever is there. She is a
restful sort of girl, she is not always
wanting to do something that tires you
half TO death and where the game isn't
worth the candle, and when she says
eood-by to you, you feel certain that
she Is pretty glad you came, and that
she will be glad to see you another
time; but that she doesn't look upon
you as the one and. only man in the
world" That is the kind of descrip-
ton that the brotherless girl can't get
Then she doesn't hear of men that
a fellow would rather not have his sis
ter to go with, and she is very apt, poor
dear, to make a few little mistakes
Probably the wisest course for her to
pursue Is for her to choose as her most
intimate friend a girl who has wise
brother; then she can reap the benefit
Of his counsel.

Polka dots are back.
The figured frock will be worn.
Shepherds plaids are raging fast and
furiously.
Handkerchief linen is the favorite
grade this year.
The pony coat is not for the stout,
matronly woman.
Regular zebra stripes decorate some
of the new dress goods
Ostrich boas are refund and fluffy
once more after the fat stoles of re-
cent seasons.
Long black kid gloves are about the
best stock in trade fer the woman who
must count her pennies.
Crushed strawberry colors have ac-
quired a multitude of followers who
might look better in something else.
Gilt is prettily used on summer
gowns-an occasional tiny ruff1e or
gilt lace being very coquettish and airy.
This only trims the corsage.
A white Irish crochet dress with blue
insets and pale mauve rossettes; pale
blue feathers in hat; pale mauve para
sol is a noticeable combination.
Among the novel little boleros
springing up are some made of alter
mating rows of valenciennes and heavy
lace, and others of velvet and jet.
The best gowns, no matter if of lace,
silk or cloth, employ a touch of old
gold. 1t is generally lace, but on lace
blouses we see small folds of gold it's
sue.
A fan that would be useful at the
opera has a tiny electric lamp set in
the handle, making it easy to read the
score, though the lights in the house
are dim.
Summer silks are made after much
the same scheme as batistes. Any
amount of lace and embroidery Is en-
ployed, and there are rufles and puffs
without number.
A pair Of white Isle hose, delicate
ly embroidered over the instep with
pale ilacs, are to be worn with white
buckskin shoes, with an open-work
strap design UP the front to show the
lilacs.
For So TO Sc there are pretty little
sunshades OF plain silk In old rose,
ecru, Nile, blue, etc, edged with the
narrowest frill of valenciennes. These
have light wood sticks and chou OF
colored silk on the handle.
The sleeves of nesTiy all the dresses
are short and without lace or anything
that depends. So much of batiste ruff
nings and lace volants has been seen
In Paris the last three years that Peo-
pie are glad of the change.

The Eternal Win.

There Is nothing we cannot overcome.
Say not evil instinct is inherited,
Or that some trait Unborn makes thy
whole life for1orn,
And calls down punishment that is not
merited.
Back of thy parents and grandparents lies
The great Eternal Will. That, too, is
thine
Inheritance strong, beautiful, divine;
Sure lever of success for one who tries.
Pry up thy faults with this great lever
Will.
However deeply bedded in propensity,
However firmly set, tell thee hrmer stlli
Is that strange power that comes from
truths immensely
Thou art a part of that vast world, !
say.
Its forces lie within thee, stronger far
Than all thy mortal sils and frailties are ;
Believe thyself divine, and watch and
pray,
There is no noble hight thou canst not
climb;
All triumphs may be thine in times fu-
turity,
If whatsoe'er thy fault thou dost not faint
or halt,
But lean upon the staff of Gods security,
Earth has no claim the soul cannot con-
test.
Know myself part of that eternal source,
And naught can stand before thy spirits
force.
The souls divine inheritance is best.

hide our feelings; then, by and by
real sorrows and experiences come to
us and teach us love and frankness
And what q blessing it is, too, to touch
the real things; to meet the real
friend in your friends eye; to share
life's big experiences frankly; to fol
low our quick, honest sympathies with
out fear; to put away our assumed
pride; to own that we are Just like
other people-that we love and suffer
and grieve and rejoice, just as others
do; and so feel our lives In close touch
with other lives.
Those of us who have not tried IL
do not guess the sweetness and com.
pie experiences are dearest, the friend
ships which need neither effort nor
explanation are closest, the honest
laughter, sincere sorrow and direct
sympathy mean most.
The friend from whom we need hide
no weakness, and with whom we need
falsely assume no strength, then be-
comes indeed a companion of the way
Wives as Social Aids.
1t Is not always the wife who stands
behind her husbands counter or shares
his Office or labors with him, shoulder
to shoulder, who is the greatest help
to man. Many women, distinctly
feminine and to all appearances hope
lessly unbusinesslike, are first aids to
their busy husbands, and they seldom
or never enter the shops, Office or fac
tories over which their husbands rule.
These are the women who play the
social game entirely in the interest of
their husbands. They are business,
rather than social climbers, who win
by tact and diplomacy where the sim
pie worth or even scientific skill of the
husband would fail to bring quick re-
turns.
This is particularly true in small
cities where acquaintance, influence
and social or family standing count for
more than IN the larger business cen
tiers. A clever woman, blessed with
the faculty of saying or doing the right
thing at the right minute, is like we'll
worGed advertisements-bou bound to win.

What He was DOING in ,e1

When Sherman Hoar was running
for Congress he more than once had to
answer questions propounded at public
meetings by an aged veteran of the
Civil War who dated everything from
that historic struggle. Mr.. Hoar re-
piled with consideration several times,
but one evening the old gentleman
asked in a more than usually queru-
lous tone: what l want to know is.
what were you doing during the war?
Did you fight for your country, or
didn't you? That's what 1 want YOU
to tell me and the rest of the folks
here. What were you dom along in
81 and '62. an up to Appomattox ~
well" said Mr.. Hoar, with kindly
smile and boyish twinkle in his ewes.
Il guess / was suffering about as much
as you were, for along in 81 and 80 /
was teething."

Married People ouIive Unmarried

Marriage is an institution highly con-
duciye to the health of both husband
and wife, says American Medicine.
Statistics prove that among married
men over 20 years of age and women
over 40 the mortality rate is far less
than among those who remain single.
Among the widowed and divorced the
mortality is exceptionally great. Sui
eide among the unmarried are much
more numerous than among the mar
ried. The matrimonial state promotes
temperance in every form. Further
more, the probable duration of life Of
a married man of 80 exceeds that OF
his unmarried brother by FIVE years,
and the wife may expect TO live one
year longer than single woman of the
same age.

Hiding Her Love.

It may not be unmaidenly of girl
to love before she is asked, but it is
certainly unmaidenly of her TO let the
fact be suspected And did she real
lie how quickly she drops in the APP
probation of all who know her, she
would certainly be more circumspect in
her behavior. Unfortunately, some
girls do not scruple to do all they
can to attract the man upon whom
their choice has fallen. Instead of al
lowing him his prerogative Of wooing
and winning, an infatuated girl will
show him only too plainly how very
welcome are his attentions.
It is not surprising that onlookers
pour scathing criticism upon the girl
who by her own conduct robs herself
OF the joy Of being ardently wooed-
A difhdent lover may keep from pro-
posing long after he has reused kin

CHAPTER w

Lady Betty Marchmont was in a very
bad temper. The coming of her hus-
bands niece had been a signal for an en-
tire change in her exisoeace. For the
first time in her life she found herself
compelled to play a secondary role. 1t
was most Notifying and equally ineom-
prehensible that the world-her world
should suddenly have determined to regard
Antonio as beauty.
The girl seemed to find great pleasure
In being with her uncle. in looking after
that much-ncglected man, and in trying
BY every little thoughtful act TO show
him affection and attention. She went
out very rarely with Lady Betty: but
she had been out quite enough 10 attract
attention.
Another thing that annoyed Lady Betty
was the apparent Indifference with which
Antonio regarded her social success. An
tonja took all that came in the calmeSt
possible manner. She was not impressed
with any of the smart people with whom
abe was brought in contact. She was not
A the least an ordinary CIR!
Her clothes were simplicity itself; yet
even Lady Betty was Obliged TO confess
thai the style in which the girl dressed

To Walk Well.

Walk slowly.
Don't comfort.
Hold your chin up.
Wear thin stockings
Don't swing your arms.
Hold your shoulders back.
Then study your figure.
Don't swing your shoulders.
Don't wear tight, short shoes.
Let your feet down at right angles
Don't try to wiggle when you walk
Don't twist yourself in sinuous mo-
TONS
Have your shoes a little TOO narrow
and a little too long.
Once in a while have a fresh kid
lining pasted in your shoes.
The little brisk Goman, the animal
ed little person may be cute" but she
isn't graceful.

bred feeling of love in the girl he
thinks of by day and dreams of by
night, and when a nice girl becomes
aware of her own heart, it is in
variably her one thought how to keep
the world, and especially the man who
has won her love, from guessing her Sc
cret-
A suggestion that she has one is
enough to bring a fierce denial, and all
the world thinks much of the girl who
does not show her love too freely.
