The Rehnke Courteous.

Some people are so sensitive! So
and so is put out at me because I
corrected her for a fault, and l did
it in the most perfect kindness"
''In perfect kindness" Did she?
Let us see. Did she first make sure
of her facts. sure that she was not
either mistaken or overcritical in
estimating the fault itself? Did she
next make sure that every bit of sell
fishness of heart was absent from
her own mood?
Then, as to time and place--did
she choose them rightly? They are
such difficult things to select, those
two. There are so many wrong
times, when another person is tired,
unhappy, discouraged, and the re-
buke becomes merely the last straw"
of all. And so to the place, surely
one cannot correct another in that
other persons own house. For It
is hardly a courtesy toward ones
hostess, or a fit return for hospitality,
and there is an unwritten law that
forbids the hostess from wounding
the feelings of the guest who is at
her mercy, or under her protection.
You see it is a difficult thing. Be
tween people of the same age IL is
almost too difficult to be attempted,
for perfect kindness would say: PA
tience, and charity, and trust little
longer yet! Example is better then
precept!" And praise has inspira-
tion in it.

Hats in London.

Some of the French ladies do not
understand at all the prohibition in
London on what they consider dinner
dress. There is one little French
actress now playing in London who,
as one of her first experiences in the
British capital, was taken out to
supper, and to do honor to the occa-
sion. put on her largest and most
gorgeous hat. Her escort looked at
1t doubtfully, but hoped for the best.
She was stopped at the sacred por-
tails of a restaurant. and was asked
to remove her hat. What this means
to lady only those can tell who have
been to matinees and have seen the
display of temper when a whole row
of ladies in the stalls have been told
that the people behind cannot see the
stage. The little actress made gall
liant attempt to be allowed to retain
her headgear. She announced to the
polite gentleman at the door that
she was Mohammedan, and offered
to take off her shoes If only she were
allowed to retain her hat. The
mighty hat, however, had to be re-
moved.-Bellman

Getting Rcady 10 Nfnrry.

Somebody frankly confided to me
not long ago that she has found her
marriage a dreary failure, and can
you imagine why?
my husband" she said, "is hon
est and hard-working and never de-
nies me anything that his means can
supply, and he is faithful and noble,
but he does not pay me compliments
and bring me roses. He seems to
take my love for granted and expects
me to be satisfied, because he, once
for all, told me that he loved me-
l find life very flavorless.
My observation leads mo to con-
clude. writes Margaret e. Sangster
in the Philadelphia Press, that when
a young woman gets ready to marry
she should determine to avoid this
particular shoal in the current.
A bright, captivating sweetheart
should make bright and fascinating
wife, not jealous or exacting, but able
to retain her husbands alteration.
She should not too readily or too
soon forego homage, or too lightly
drop into mere commonplace in
good mans common day.

London Takes to the Kilt.

It appears that the practice OF
wearing kits is increasing in London
as we'll as in Scotland, and, accord
ing to statements OF one or two of
the better known West End tailors.
the practice is making considerable
headway among the middle class ~
of Scotsmen in London. The kilt.
however, is not likely to be largely
adopted because, even II picturesque,
1t is expensive A complete outit for
evening dress costs no less than $3.50,
but the general price ranges from
$500 to $3.50. Above that one may
go to almost any price. because
brooches, sporrans, and so on may be
mounted with very costly jewels. The
ordinary outdoor Highland dress is
less costly, but even that is good
dea, more expansive than the morn
ing o. frock suit.-New York Herald.

Of his company in this respect. He

What of your manners, girls?
How do you face your world? So as
to make a good impression or bad

as qualities which we may regard as
Infinitely more important.

wedding Cards.

Whenever the engraved invitations
bear the letters r. S. V. P. an answer
must be made at once. This is some
times done on cards of invitation to
reception, that the host may have
some idea OF how mssS persons to
provide for. Such response should
be made formally, in the third per-
son, for instance: "Mr. and Mrs.
Jones accept with pleasure Mr.. and
Mrs. Smiths kind invitation to the
wedding reception Of their daughter
on December the first"
When there is a church wedding
and no reception IL is expected that
the bride will be called upon, when
one knows where she is, unless "At
Home" cards have been sent out and
one has been omitted from the list.
This is equivalent to declaring that
the bride does not care for ones ac-
quaintance. Before accepting this
cut, however, one cannot take too
much pains to be sure that the omis-
sion was accidental and not designed.
and in any case the parents should
be called upon.
Cards announcing the wedding of
friend must always be acknowl-
edged by posting visiting cards at
once to those issuing the invitation,
not to the bride. One calls upon the
bride when she is "a home"
True courtesy and politeness do
not delay in making simple and
proper acknowledgements within the
time S. ecified, and failure to do so
dubs one either ignorant or careless

ALWAYS Something Ncw.

There will always be something
new to say about women as long as
one is left among us.
Man would always walk straight
ahead If he did not meet a woman
at each step. She is charming trav-
cling companion, but one who does
not know her way, and she prevents
us from seeing ours.
To ascertain the age of woman
1t is necessary to ask her and to ask
her best friend. She will say thirty
the friend will say forty. and then
you take the average.
Women who excite in our minds
merely an exclamation of admiration
are like Racine's tragedies-too per-
feet. One prefers those who excite
interrogation points, says Life.
The heart of woman is at once
her friend and her enemy.

WAS FULTON THE FIRST?
Interesting Extract From the Ar.
chives Of the Crown of Araeon.

chives Of the Crown of Aragon.
Was Fulton really the first who ap-
piled steam to navigation? Accord
ing to the following report which ex-
lists in the Archives of the Crown
of Aragon in Barcelona, Spain, dated
1913, he was not. The report is as
follows:
Blasco de Garay, captain de mar,
presented in the year 1543 to the
Emperor-King Charles v. U. Of
spain) machine to run any kind of
vessel. without the help of oars or
sails. In spite of the obstacles and
oppositions he met, he obtained from
the Emperor the command that the
experiment should take place In the
port of Barcelona. This took effect
on the 18th day of June of said year
1543.
Garay would not show the me-
chanical part Of his machine, al
though 1t was seen at the moment
of the experiment that It consisted
OF a great cauldron of boiling water
and two revolving wheels. The ex-
pertinent took place on vessel OF
two hundred tons, named the Trinity,
which had arrived from Colibre with
cargo of wheat, and had finished
unloading. The name of its captain
was Pedro de Escarza.
BY order of Charles V. and of his
son, Philip H., there assisted at the
experiment Don Enrique de Toledo,
the governor, Don Pedro dc Cardona,
the treasurer, Rayago; the Vice.
Chancellor, the chief authority of
Catalonia Don Francisco, Gralla, and
several other distinguished persons
from Catalonia and Castillo, among
them several captains de mar. In
the information given to the EN-
peror, after the experiment, every
one approved the ingenious ma
chine, applauding particularly the
easy and quick way in which the
tacks were made.
The treasurer, Ravago. enemy of
the invention, said in his own infor-
nation, that the vessel ran only two
leagues in three hours, that the ma
chine was too complicated and too
expensive, and that It was exposed
to the danger of the boiler explod-
ing. The other commissioners testl-
fed that the vessel tackled with us
much quickness as the best galley,
and that it did run one league per
hour.
After the experiment Garay gath.
cred all the pieces of the machine,
excepting those made of wood. which
he deposited in the naval dock yard
of Barcelona.
In spite of Ravago's opposition and
his persistency to discredit the in
vention, this was approved. Owing
to the expedition to Gunez (Africa)
by the Emperor, it was neglected and
forgotten.
Notwithstanding the Emperor con-
ferred a promotion to Garay, made
him a present of two hundred thou
sand maravedis (about $4,000 for
once, and gave orders that ali the
expenses in building the machine
should be paid by the royal treasury,
besides bestowing upon him several
other favors.
There still exists in the Spanish
navy small cruiser which bears the
name of Blasco de Garay.
A remarkable fact is that Balzac
took the idea of this discovery to
build up his play. Les Resources de
Quinola," the scene taking place in
Barcelona, and the incidents quite
the same.
