How to Be True.

The prayerful purpose to be true
to our own best, is to pledge our
selves to continuous and unceasing
forward march, to undertake what we
can never again lay down as COM
pleted task. For to trust our own best
involves the thought that we stand
ready to go forward to the better
thing, that only the attainment Of
our present best can unfold to us.

America IS recognized as the heaven

In France and Italy the influence
of the American woman is not so OBJ
vious as in England, but it is there
The custom of girls going out alone
is yearly making Roadway. Former
ly it was not safe for a girl to ven
ture alone on the streets in any
French or Italian city. She would
be understood as inviting insult. But
that is now thing CT the past. French
men and Italians are accustomed to
seeing well-dressed girls walking
alone, and no longer dream that this
solitariness means anything except
that the girl finds companion I'm
necessary. In Paris girls of the up
per middle class think nothing now
of mounting an omnibus alone. They
are certain to find an English or
American woman in the omnibus who
is going somewhere unattended and in
perfect safety. In the higher classes
the French young person is still strict
Iy chaperoned, but by no means to the
same degree as formerly. One no
longer hears a French girl say to her
mother as they sit in the park: Nam
ma, may / go and sit by papa?" She
not only goes and sits by papa, but
goes out with him-to their mutual
enjoyment, for it must be remembered
that in no other country on earth is
the tie of parents and children so
strong and so tender as in France.
It is in Germany, however, that the
change is most marked. Jerome K.
Jerome, a very close observer, says the
bicycle did it. He declares that for
merly no German girl who wished or
expected to be married would have
been seen on a bicycle. Now they are
all over the face of creation with their
bicycles. The great number of Amer
lean girl students in the smaller Ger
man towns has had q marvellous effect
upon German women. Seeing the free,
untrammeled lives these young girls
led, and noticing they rarely came to
grief, the German girls quietly fell into
the American way. The German girl
is almost invariably well educated and
reflective. She is far more progress
i've than the German man. She seems
to have thoroughly wearied of the use
less and endless drudgery which has
heretofore been the rule in the Ger
man sehold-useless, because all
German households are very simply
conducted.

proper way, and is politely Indifferent
as to what the English girls think OF
her. There is nothing like polite IN
difference to win the favor OF the
English, as race Straightway they
began to respect, 70 admire, to copy
the American girl. It has divided
English society into American and
Anti-American parties-one bemoan-
ing and lamenting and deriding Amer
lean customs, the other enthusiastic
ally initiating them.

English society into American ana
Anti-American parties-one bemoan-
ing and lamenting and deriding Amer
lean customs, the other enthusiastic
ally initiating them.
London is the battle-ground OF these
two factions. The Americans, how
ever, are steadily gaining and invading
the enemy's camp. American GUS
toms in entertaining get a firmer
footing every season. Ten years ago
the American fashion of smart dinners
especially on Sunday nights, at splen-
did cafes, with music and flowers, was
unknown in London. To-day it Is
rampant, and there are not less than
dozen superb London hotels where
these dinners are the great feature.
Another evolution is the dance for
young girls alone. 1t was inaugurated
over decade ago by the young I'M
married daughter of Lord Rosebery,
and was screaming success. Of course
there was an outcry from the reac-
tionaries, but the girls and men found
it charming change from the dullness
Of the typical English ball and the
custom has come to stay.
Another American innovation in
English society is boon both to
health and comfort This is the fash
ion Of wearing gay little bodices, made
high, at family and informal dinners.
All over England until few years
ago, the ceremony of dressing for
dinner" was gone through with reli-
giously in every family of any social
standing whatever. This meant the ar
raging Of every woman, no matter
what her age or health might be, and
in the strictest privacy of the family
circle, in loW-necked gown for dinner.
The gown, of course, was not fresh-it
would take the income of a Roths-
child to keep family Of girls in even
ing gowns for everyday wear. The
spectacle, therefore, of an English
family dinner was weird and un-
earthly-the aeedy and fraZZled skirts,
the shabby bodices-the whole a
CHASTITY travesty on full dress. The
results to health, 100, were something
frightful. English houses are badly
heated, the climate is damp and try
ing and rheumatism and consumption
stalked in the train of the dressing
for-dinner habit. But the American
custom of reserving low gowns for
ceremonious occasions is founded on
good taste, and once adopted it will not
be laid aside.

Washington. ID. c., April 1.-The In
dian Office and Secretary Garfield's Of
flee are at odds over proposed Gre
alton OF forest reserve in the Choc'

law officers insist that the secretary
has no right to reserve Indian lands

Assistant General Woodruff, acting lor

Some insist that the Campbell deci-

became involved with congress, was a
convenient decision, and that 1t was
not good law.
The situation is interesting, for It is
thought that the president and ths
