A Woman Without Homo Duties.


A woman who has no home duties.
or who does not attend to such duties.
is pest to her acquaintances. 1t may
take her . long time to make her
breakfast toilet, but her outside gar
ments go on like magic when she has
once decided to make a morning or
afternoon call. She will not work. and
she will not let her neighbors work.
Her acquaintances are kept In a state
of chronic discomfort in the expecta-
ton of visit, and door-bell In her
vicinity cannot ring without striking
terror to the heart of the lady Of the
house. call from this idle person
means simply loss of time without the
slightest compensation. The work In
the kitchen or the nursery must be
abandoned, and this means, with prac-
teal, conscientious housekeepers, not
only a giving up of the work for the
time, but for considerable time. The
work planned for that day, and omit
ted for that day, means overwork at
cnother time, confusion and anxiety.
What can be more exasperating than
to be compelled to entertain an idle
person to the neglect of necessary
duties? 1t occasionally arouses all
the antagonism and latent ugliness in
ones nature. Hands and brain are all
ready for the work which has been de.
ferred for this time. when will she
go?" the spirit keeps asking. 'If she
will only go now l can rush through
with the work, and the morning will
not be lost one" But the visitor
does not go. In fact, it is rare thing
for this particular kind Of caller to
take her leave until the utmost limit
Of time is reached, as well as the ut
most limit Of her hostess patience
So, declares the New York Weekly
sensible ladies protect themselves by
feeling at liberty to report that they
are engaged when the idle woman
thrusts her company upon people who
do not admire her or her converse
ton.

Department Store at Close Range.


Because 1t is volume Of business
that counts, every department store,
OF course, tries to keep stock as low
as possible. Everything must be kept
moving. Under the old system a store
would buy whole years supply OF
staples and a seasons supply of other
goods. But 1t is not SO now, and the
modern method throws upon the
shoulders of manufacturer and whole
saler the risks that formerly were as
sumed by the retail store, to the grave
disorganization of the business OF
those who supply the big stores. Most
women know that as rule the things
offered in bargain sales are sold below
the actual cost of manufacture, says
Harley Davis in Everybody's. Now
the bargain sale is popularity supposed
to serve double purpose-to attract
people to the store and to get rid OF
old goods. The first proposition Is
always true, while the latter applies
to only about one-tenth of the bargain
safes. The manufacturer stands the
loss. for there is very considerable
loss, of the other nine-tenths. 1t is
automatic among the department store
owners that there is always manu-
facturer who is willing to sell some Of
his output at great sacrifice 1t may
be because he finds himself stocked
with goods for which there is no de
mand at the prices for which the,
were made to SELL oftener, he is hare
pressed for ready money. But what
ever the cause. the result is bar
gain sale in a department store. Ant
in all cases. except the one bargain
sale in ten. by which the store is get
ting rid of its own goods that haven
been sold. the establishment make,
its regular standard profit.

Tran emission Of Warts.

Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts are con
municable Is warranted" says a
writer. "Inoculation Of healthy tissue
with blood obtained from a wart will
cause the growth of similar e1-
crescence. 1t is thought that these
growths contain an ultramicroscopic
germ to which is due the transmission
from one person to another. At all
events. persons who have warts should
take measures to have them remoe d
at once"
