ut seems to me thai people have a
great deal to say about girls not caring
particularly about marrying" re-
marked a young woman to an elderly
dame, over a cup of hot chocolate in
one of the dining rooms frequented by
shoppers, one day last week.
well, my DEAR" responded the
other, as she l~eisurely glanced about,
girls do not marry nearly as early as
they used to. You know that. Why,
in my time we used to think nothing
of becoming wives at Is and II years
of age, and the majority of girls were
surely welded before they were o."
The younger of the two impatiently
tapped her spoon on the table. IT know
that very WELL" she answered. land
nine times out Of ten your girls were
happy. But times seem to have I'M
dergone a remarkable change, and the
things we see and read every day of
our lives are enough to make any girl
hesitate and finally decide not to take
the plunge into matrimony's troubled
waters, All around us we see married
people barely enduring zach other be-
cause the law mas bound them together,
and these Same ones showed countless
evidences Of great affection for each
other during the engagement period.
why, only the other day a case
came to my notice of a man and wife
who have been married u little more
than a year. A couple of months after
the ceremony they began quarreling
and nave quarreled ever since. Now,
he is threatening divorce and she is
threatening to get one If he doesn't.
And you would never believe it of
either of them IL you could see them
in company" and she looked thorough
ly contemptuous as she drank her
chocolate.
Dear. dear. what is the world COM
ing tor sighed the elderly woman in
a helpless fashion. ut is certainly be-
coming more wicked every day"
mo, 1t isn't" rejoined the young
woman, bluntly. "It is becoming more
self pleasing, and of course the girls
who are growing UP become wise to its
ways almost before they reach the
marrying age. Consequently, they
deem it safer to remain single, with
their happiness in their hands
than place it In the care Of a man
whose idea of comfort begins and ends
in himself, especially when there are
so many ways in which an ambitiouSI
girl can earn a comfortable living" ,
Her ideas are those of hundreds and
hundreds of the girls you meet on the
street every day. 1t is about time that
men realized that they are far from
essential to the happiness of the
modern woman and that unless they
begin to toe the mark" they will be
out of the running completely.

BoN-BON BASKETS.

Baskets of drawn sugar make an eX-
ceedingly dainty ornament, with faring
edges and a long handle. They are woven
from strands of v%ariegated color, or h
are entirely of satiny white strands, with
perhaps a rlDoon OF pink or blue sugar
fastened at the top. These baskets are
employed to hold bonbons or petit Tours,
no other ~receptacles appearing on the
table. A hostess tells the caterer the
color scheme for her dining-room, and he
furnishes the sugar decorations in accord

An ECCENTRIC nuchesse.

The Duchess de Persigny was, to say the
least OF it, eccentric, and many were the
stories related of her while her husband
was ambassador to England, somewhere
about the sixties. writes the former Lady
Randolph Churchill In the Century. Hell
unpunctuality became %proverbial. One
evening there was an official dinner al
the embassay for the lord mayor, The
guests. who had been waiting some time
for her appearance, were told that her
grace was IN her bath, and presently she
appeared with her beautiful. fair hair tot
which she was very proud still wet and
hanging down her back. sPardonnez moi
mes amis,' she exclaimed. with her slight
stammer, "c'est Get imbeciie de Perslgny
cue ne ma pas fait dire l'heur. The
duchess's temper was somewhat quick, on
one occasion. at a children'e dance IN Paris,
I have a vivid recollection Of her boxine
my ears because Il could not dance tbs

] could not help laughing at her
vehemence. AS a rule she is a quiet
sort of person, at peace with all lar
kind.
But I did not blame her for cherish
ing a grudge against those girls, Tor
surely they must have known better.
1 D they were so intent upon
having a good time that they gave no
thought to those around them.
That very lack of thought was a
mistake. We should never become SO
/ absorbed in ourselves as to completely
lose sight Of others.
Girls, and women, too, should re-
member that while there Is an art IN
knowing how to talk and what to say
at the right time, the art of knowing
when to keep quiet is even greater.
And il is only a matter of letting con-
sideration of others come before self.

HANDY LAUNDRY BAGS.

Thu very newest laundry bags are OF
white linen, or, II one cannot afford this
material, cannon cloth makes an excel

The edges Of the bag are neatly ma
chine stitched, then feather-stitched by
hand.
A casing is made two inches from the
top, through which is run a tape or rib

The chief virtue of these white bags
over the time-honored ones of cretonne

they may be laundried as often as desir-
able, yet retain their pristine freshness.

course, depends wholly upon the demands
