American Dress.

Writing on the interchange OF
ideas and ideals between America
and japan, in the Housekeeper
Marian Bonsall illustrates her point
Dy an amusing and instructive anec-
dote.
A Japanese girl and an American
girl were having an amusing time at
japanese home in Toxic one even
Ing, dressing in one another's clothes.

mona. The first instinct of the ia.
panese girl was to pull up the low
neck OF the gown and pull down the
sleeves; and the American girls i'm
pulse was to pull the kimona smooth
~ around the waist and hips, lust
exactly where it should have been
folded ever. Then they started ia
assist each other, each one protest
Ing firmly against certain principles
the other demanded as essential to
correct dressing. But even when fin
1shed there was something radically
wrong with the ensemble; and the
girls, after hypocritically insisting
that the other looked beautiful, sat
on the mating and laughed.
I feel very strange" said O.
Take-San
Il feel funny" said the American
girl.
I think you are very tight where
we are loose" said O-Take-San again.

the American girl.

ly, "as though my kimona were fall
ing off," as she indicated the cut of
her waist and the fulness of her
skirt. do you always feel cold
when you wear such dress?s' she
queried, as she ran away to the
mirror again, giggling in a very
feminine way.
When she came back to be helped
out of the imprisoning hooks and
eyes, she gave her ultimatum on the
subject of American clothes.
II think she said, reflectively,
that the American dress is good to
have no heavy obi; but / think it
not good to be cold and to be tight.

Some Hood Puns.

The punning pre-eminence Of Hooo
was appreciated in high quarters. In
Chatsworth's splendid libraries, on the
dummy book backs which veil the i'm
itation doors, one may see specimens
of Hoods little jokes. Here are a
few: Beverage on the Beer Act;
Wren's Voyage to the Canaries; Min
to's Coins; Horn Took on Catching
Cows; Macadam's Rhodes; Bramah' 8
Rape Of the Lock; lingo Jones on Sc
cret Entrances; Esterhazy on Spring
Fogs; Dyspepsia and Heartburn, by
the Bishop of Sodor; Skye, by Nc
Cloud: Dfbdin's Cream of Tar. Such
pleasantries seem just triae odd
when you remember the priceless vol
umes on the Chatswcrth shelves.

This May Sc True.

It Is said that few weeks ago two
women who sat down in park near
each other to rest after being engaged
all day in looking at hats, confded to
each other the particular troubles that
impelled them to move from the fats
they then occupied. A few moments
later one Of them asked the other
where she lived, and then the fact came
out that they lived in the same fat
building, and that each of them was
moving to get rid of a nuisance Charge
able to the other. This may or may
not be May moving yarn, but it ought
to be lesson to all disconnected ten
ants. If they are annoyed, let them
ask themselves whether they do not
annoy others.-Chicago Chronicle.

In Spite of His Argument.

One OF the justices of the Supreme
Court tells of a young lawyer in the
West who was trying his first case
before Justice Harlan.
The youthful attorney had evident.
~ conned his argument till he knew
dt by heart. Before he proceeded
ten minutes with his oratorical eff.
fort, the justice had decided the case
in his favor and had told him so.
Despite this. the young lawyer would
not cease. 1t seemed that he had at.
tanned such a momentum that he
could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned for
ward, and in the politest Of tones said
"Mr. Blank, Notwithstanding your
arguments, the court has concluded
to decide this case In your favor

SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.

1When I drank coffee | often had
sick headaches, nervousness and bill
iousness much of the time, but when
went to visit friend ! got IN the
habit of drinking Postum.
"I gave up coffee entirely, and the
result has been that have been en-
tiYely relieved Of all my stomach and
nervous trouble.
my mother was just the same
way. We all drink Postum now and,
without coffee in the house for z
years, we are all we'll.
"A neighbor of mine, great cof-
fee drinker, was troubled with pains
in her side for years and was an in
valid. She was not able to do her
work and could not even mend clothes
or do anything at all where she would
have to bend forward. II she tried
to do q little hard work she would
get such pains that she would have to
lie down for the rest OF the day.
"At last I persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so, and has used
Postum ever since; the result has
heen that she can now do her work,
can sit for a whole day and mend and
can sew on the machine and she nev.
ar feels the least bit of pain in hei

Cure For the Drink Habit.

A travelling man with the drink
habit was persuaded to try using or
anges as a cure. He says his physic-
ian advised the use Of oranges and
the trial began with the patient eat
ing of one orange before breakfast
and one every time thereafter that
he thirsted for the stimulants he had
been using Gradually the desire sue
cumbed to the treatment and now
for more than a year the patient has
felt no inclination whatever to re.
turn to the use OF intoxicants. Eleven
OF his friends similarity afflicted

"The" Tyrol,

Apropos of Major Martin Hume's
recent protest against the incorrect
use OF the definite article before CAS-
turiass," 1t Is interesting to hear the
denunciation of the before Tyrol,
made by Mr. Baillie-Grohman in The
out the article, he says, for there is
only one Tyrol. A "Bavarian Tyrol"
and an Italian Tyror' DO not exist,
and, therefore, "the Austrian Tyrol'
is also a wrong expression. Still,
probably half CT the people who visit
Tyrol IN Sumner or Winter throw in
the superhuous "the."

Value of Rest.

The philosopher Herbert Spencer
used to lament, in his later years,
that he had not adopted a regular
system Of recreation. He often said
that what he had needed was play,
simple play, useless" from every
point of view excepting that of recre-
ating the system. This sort of hui
man philosophy, says The Independ-
ent, is gaining ground every year.
No one, at any age, can live health
lily, and be wholesome human be-
ing, without play. City life particu-
lar1y demands provision for relaxa-
ton for those who are in mature life.
In this way only can the burdens of
life be kept from wearing one out
prematurely. Further, there is no
doubt that the public can SO provide
for relaxation and recreation that the
whole community shall feel the ben
eft of it from sanitary standpoint
and in the reduction of crime. Pub
lie playing is feature of the life Of
many Norwegian and Swiss commu-
mites. 1t works admirably in the
way Of keeping health and good so
cial atmosphere.
| Precisely so with the young, SO
with the old - play has a hygiene
value. 1t relieves the brain and the
heart, the organs most likely to be
broken down through hard work and
worry Play seems to have an adj
mirable effect in equalizing the circu-
latidn Of the blood and in mitigating
the strain placed on the different or
gans. Play furnishes also a kind of
mental training which is very neces-
sary In adult life. It takes the at
/ tention from single affair, and it
keeps all the sense-organs alert. Nor
| can we make too much Of the social
element in this matter A cool play
ground is the best means Of c..uater-
/ acting the differentiation from each
other which we undergo in the stru1.

Skill in Wearing a Veil.

Miss Edith Colford, who is a IA
nous horsewoman, is also we'll
known among the women of New
port for her skill in arranging her
wells, and also the envy Of many who
cannot achieve the effects which she
gets. She always wears a long chif-
fon veil over her simple face veil,
and the color varies to match or con-
trast with her costume, but they al
ways float out behind her in a grace
full fashion, no matter which way the
wind seems to be blowing. This is a
mystery to the women whose wells
float in front when they are supposed
to be gracefully streaming behind.
Miss Colford has caused comment by
driving some days sitting on the
right seat of her runabout and other
days on the left, thereby showing
that she can change at any time with
out affecting her fine style of driving.

The WOmanly Forces.

In recent speech John Barrett
said to Massachusetts, school for
girls that the American girl had more
influence as wife, mother and sister
than any man with his vote, yet
counted nothing because she had NO
vote. The Ohio State Journal holds
that as wrong conclusion, saying:
The average woman can do more
to-day than the average man in the
promotion of any noble purpose in
civic or social life. But it is largely
a matter of personal influence wisely
directed. In our temperance legisla-
ton, for instance, who are more
closely interested in good laws than
the women? And when they make
their demands intelligently, forcibly,
personally, they Obscure what they

Women Who Cook.

knowledge of how to cook palata-
bic dishes is no longer despised by
women active in society. President
Grants attractive granddaughter,
who was Miss Vivian Sartoris, now
Mrs. Roosevelt Scovil, is winning
fame for the American-bred girl by
her delicious little dinners in her
Dresden home. Mrs. Scovel rarely
asks more than six to her feasts and
usually she prepares every detail of
the menu herself. Her salads are the
pride of her friends, and her pastry
would win praise from a French
chef. Mrs. Francis King Vain
wright, the daughter of Senator For
aker, has wide reputation in Phila-
delphia for her culinary accomplish
ments. Mrs. Wainwright, as Miss
Julia Foraker, could make delicious
candies and deserts. Mrs. Knox is
noted for her fine preserves, and
Mrs. Roosevelt superintends the max
ing of that famous yellow pickle from
a recipe which is 200 years old in the
Roosevelt family.-New York Press.

American Girls,

The average American is blase al.
most before the English girl is ready
to leave her school, says writer in
the World Magazine. The English
girl never leaves her governess and
home before she is eighteen, while al
the same age the American girl has
seen much of the world.
Yet the American girl retains her
vivacity and her interest in every
thing, and it is that one quality, ]
think, above all others that wins for
her the admiration of the English
woman.
The American woman never looks
to her husband as master, while the
Englishwoman is taught to do so
from her birth.
