 The Texan was given no more chances with Miss Harriet, for the rest of the ladies now came out, and his final good night was spoken only by { pressure of the hand, but pressure which left him happy. for the girl die not fail to return 1t with something more than mere courtesy.

 It happens very often that am in the vicinity of Wall street about F o'clock. and as I come out of the bank or my brokers l see hundreds or stenographers and clerks going to luncheon. They are all bright and full of life. but they are most or them dressed up in strange and outlandlsh styles better suited to the theatrical district than to busy mans office
 of course we all realize that the American working girl is ''as good as anybody" We have all heard 1t often enough, dear knows! But if this IS the case. why must she cheapen her self in this way?
 She is not proving herself to be as good as anybody when she does not know how to dress in the proper way for the different places she goes to. To be oyerdressed is a worse crime than to be too mOdestly garbed, can tell you.
 When a girl has 10 earn her living she should realize that in a way this 1 pIaces her at a disadvantage. She l loses the air of gallantry and of re- spect with which men greet her in ! her mothers drawing room. In the i office she is spoken to more or less ! abruptly. and she receives just as much respect as her conduct entities 1 her to and no more.

SOME THINGS TO BE AVOIEED BY THE CLEVER WOMAN

mothers, ma'am it makes you want to shake them or do something ugly, you're that dsgusted. They run all over the house and muss your Kitchen and you don't dare to say cross word for fear they'll cry and the mother will console them and blame you!"
 This should not be.
 Children ought to be told they can not bother the cook or the housemalo' More than that, they should be taught to mind these persons when they are making them behave.
 A little child can certainly be an aw- fuI nuisance when it has an eXag- gerated idea of it's own importance.
 Take the little boy next door, for instance. He is sturdy little chap of five. and yet three or four times a day he whines and cries so that he may get what he wants.
 This always happens when he IS alone with the servants. They don dare to make him mind for fear he will report them to his foolish mother who always takes her darling boys part.
 And so he is rapidly becoming lit- tie pest. not only to his own house but to the neighborhood. which he an noys by his continual bawlings.

 A long shouldered effect is not be- coming to the girl who hasn't straight back either She ought to realize this and be very careful about the cut of her sleeves, picking out pattern that is smartly gathered with plenty of fullness toward the shoulder blades.

 For instance, if woman knows she has a head too large for her body she should be very careful about wearing an exaggerated headdress. How often you see, tiny little woman with a tremendous array of puffs, curls and bandeaux under a perfectly enormous hat. '' -''
 Then the long waisted, short legged specimen of womanhood ought never, never, never to wear a short skirt. The longer the better in her case, because 1t then gives the right proportions to the upper portion of her figure.

MAGIC IN MOROCCO.
Charms and Spells That Are Used by
 Moorish Women.

Charms and Spells That Are Used by
 Moorish Women.
 Mrs. Mansel-Pleydell writes of the curious charms used by the women of Morocco: "Moorish women resort much to charms to gain lovers or to keep their affections when gained. There is one charm which is seldom known to fail. It consists of shredding~a small piece of an undergarment which the man has worn and, after certain in cantations have been said over 1t, of rolling the particles into the shape of small ball. This is embedded in large ball of clay and, after being slightly damped, it is kept in pot over the embers of live charcoal.
 T have been assured that as soon as the heat penetrates the clay the man, whoever he may be, will lay aside whatever work he is doing at the time and fly to the arms of the woman who invokes the charm. As long as the ball is kept warm so long will the heat of love burn in the heart of the lover for that E;Sns3n. Another spell much resorted to is cast by cutting off the tips of don keys ears, cooking them and mixing them in the mans food. He then be- comes as foolish as a donkey, with love for the charmer who has provid- ed his unsavory repast." - Chicago 1 News.

been my cowboy perhaps perhaps But the rest was secret which the roses never told. w One by one the guests departed, but not till the last of them was driven away on the gravel road did Richard find an opportunity for a word alone with his ladylove. He was seated in darkened nook on the front veranda. sheltered from the light by thick wis taria vines. He had lighted cigar and was dreaming as he smoked. of how beautiful she was. when suddenly he caught the swishing sound of skirts, and she took a wicker rocker by his side.
 "Lord Croyland," she murmured softly, T knew it was you by the smell of your cigar"
 Richard was not a connoisseur as re- gards tobacco. and he wondered idly if the real Lord Croyland's favorite brand was up to the standard of this doubtful compliment. Miss Harriet continued: #sN,
 'I'm glad I found you alone, for l want to thank you for these" She held her sheaf of roses toward him. Ut was dear of you to send them. and 1t. pleased me more than 1 can say"
 "Nonsense." he laughed "No flower that ever grew is worthy of you. That sounds foolish. I suppose, for many people must have said the same be- fore but mean it simply, honestly"
 .''Thank you," she said softly, and both for time were silent. .....

 "No to Texas" ..v- .
 ''Whatw ..-.. ......
 Richard caught himself just in time.
 "Well-er-well, you see,' he stam- mered, you have turned me into such a good American that I think of your country now as being quite my own I lived down there for nearly a year you know, and now-and now business calls me back again"
 Once more they were silent for 8 little space.
 "And are you not coming north again?" she asked him nervously.

Popular comedy lauds cunning and
craft and exposes to public gaze the

The minstrel part will be backed by

Many spectators were allowed or. the

holding each others hand, stood with
bowed heads among the crowd. Zenzo,
singing the verse that he had written,
walked bravely from his cell into the

up to the cross, stretched out his arms
as though to mea sure the length of the
crossbar then turned again to the Of

silence the two men gripped hands.
Then Zenzo turned to the squad of
