ETHICS OF GOOD DRESSING.
As Regards Income and Age-Ths
Livery of Years.

A gentewoman never by any
chance leaves her style of dressing
open to the wonder of how she man
aged to afford It, says The Beauty
Book. She leaves that wonder 20 q
class of women with whom she has
little. indeed, in common.
And a gentlewoman is never silly
as to hope by her style of dressing
to belle her age any more than her
income. There are many women
now called fashionable" who dress
themselves at 60 as they would at
25, but they are not elegant women,
however much they may pay for
their clothes or for their steam
yachts.
A gentlewoman dresses girlishly
In her girlhood, and young matronly
In her matronhood, and keeps on
thus, wearing the livery cf her years
with a sweet dignity that makes the
foolish pretense of the grandmother
In lingerie hat almost hideous.

The Teachers Salary Bill.
Proposition 10 Make Normal Certificate
Teachers Minimum Salary $50.

Representative Snyder's bill to
make the minimum salary of teach
ers with normal certificates $50 and
without this certificate $40, is meet
ing with approval in all sections of
the state. He aims to have the
salary attractive for the very best
talent and as the benefits have been
reaped from his previous bill max
ing the minimum SIS he believes
that the good results will be cor
respondingly greater if his present
idea becomes a law. With fixed
salaries and compulsory attendance.
it seems that the only thing neces-
sary TO insure good and thorough
education for all is a uniform term
Of at least nine months.

The Nursery Screen.

In household that possesses q
baby a screen is often the only so.u-
ton of the vexatious problem of Sc
curing ventilation without a draught.
Every child should be accustomed
from birth to the open window in
the sleeping room; yet many mo-
theirs. haunted by the possibility Of
a chill, fail to comply with this
most important Of hygienic rules.
With the screen always available
no such disaster need be .eared, pro-
vided intelligent use be made of It.
It will also be found useful for
shielding the baby's eyes while sleep
ing from the glare of light from the
window or gas Jet.
The best screen for use in the
nursery is the one made after the
hospital model, OF white cambric
shirred onto a lightweight frame OF
wood.
This can be easily washed, an es-
sential feature OF nursery screen.
For the frame a clothes horse,
painted white, is just the thin.

1t is better to live in sound cot

Feminine Taste In Books.

women in the last fifteen years
have taken to reading a much better
class OF books" said veteran
dealer II think | may safely assert
that the average woman has to-day
a finer literary taste than the
average man.
1T used to be different. Women
used to to read nothing but the
rDutchess," Mrs. Southworth. Bor-
tina M. Clay, and writer's of that
class. Now they read Howe'lB,
Joseph Conrad. Kipling, Wells, Mrs.
Wharton, Hardy. w. w. Jacobs,
George Meredith, and so on.
so much for my average woman
patron. Ny average man patron
reads Conan Doyle, Hall Caina,

writers of the popular class.
II suppose 1t is the higher educa-
ton and the greater freedom now
allowed women that have improved
their literary taste so tremendously.

GILLESPIE B. ANDERSON.

The funeral services Of g. B. Ander-
son, a resident of this District the past
thirty years, a native OF Richmond, ,Vir-
ginia, was held at the Nineteenth Street
Baptist Church last Thursday.
Deceased at the time of his death
was a trusted employe of the Pullman
Car Company, having served faithfully
and efficiently in its service over TWEEN
ty-five years. Prior to this service he
had been for many years in the employ
of the government. His death was I'M
timely and tragic, having been killed
in the car yards OF the Pennsylvania
Rail DAD at Jersey City, presumably by
accident, his body having been found up
on one of the tracks Of that company,
his gripsack near him, his head crushed,
and face bruised in numerous places.
1t is surmised that N attempting to
alight from his observation car, upon
reaching its destination, he accidentally
fell, and probably became unconscious
either dying from shock or was struck
by a passing train. 1t appears peculiarly
singular that no person has been found
to have witnessed the accident, notwlth-
standing it occurred in a vicinity sur
rounded by thousands Of persons trav-
cling at all hours Deceased must have
been killed at any early houT-lt IS SAID
between nine and ten o'clock-neverthe-
less il seems that no one witnessed the
accident. It IS further said that An
derson's body was found accidentally
