Taking a Wrona View.

How many take a wrong view of
life, and waste their nervous system
in endeavoring to accumulate wealth
without thinking of the present happi-
ness they are throwing away. It is
not wealth nor honor that makes a
man happy. Many of the most wretch
ed beings on earth have both. But it
is radiant, sunny spirit which knows
how to bear little trials and enjoy lit
tie comforts. and thus extract happi-
ness from every incident in life.-The
Christian World.

Can Women Be ErIends7

Can women be friends? Sacrifices
for the sake of love of man and or
spring are recorded without number,
but female Davids and Damons are
not readily discovered in either his
tory or legend. Professors Of platonic
affection continue to evoke jeers OF
incredulity. and the traditional disin.
genuousness Of dearest friends" still
plays well its part in caricature The
changeableness Of woman's nature
has become automatic. Can it be that,
throughout the ages. even to these en-
lightened days, II has retained con-
sistency in this respect alone? 1t suf-

SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.
Two Theories Of the Acquirement-
Unselfishness and conVentionality.

Most mothers hold, consciously or
unconsciously, one of two theories
about the requirement of manners by
their children. One mother says,
Manners are only the outward sign
of the inner nature. If my daughter
has kind heart and a we'll trained
mind she will behave in a gentle,
charming fashion. will teach her
compassion, respect for age, unselflsh
zeal for helping with the worlds
work. Her manners will take care of
themselves" Another mother saws.
MY girls will never get on without
conventional manners. They shall be
taught from babyhood to emulate the
speech and bearing OF ladies' They
shall be instructed in the proper be-
havior for every occasion. They shall
walk and dance and write and speak
with graceful perfection" Neither
method, says the Youths Companion,
produces altogether satisfactory re-
suits. Unselhshness is truly the
foundation Of good manners, but not
the superstructure. Many convention
al restrictions have grown about So
cial relations. Some can be explained
by the demand Of kindness and some
cannot

PLEASURE FOR AN EVENING.
Novel Idea In the Way Of q Church
Entertainment.

Here's a novel idea for a church en-
tertainment which requires little prep
aration. A rustic bridge was built out
nom the stage. inclosing a square
space that was used for a fish pond.
Rocks and ferns were grouped along
the edge of the stage, the floor was
covered with green carpet, and a pref
U meadow scene painted on coarse
cotton was hung at the back OF the
stage. making q very picturesque set
ting for the pond, says the Cooking
School Magazine. Steps led ND to the
bridge. and at the foot was a rustic
lodge. where, on payment Of a fee.
the prospective fisher was given a
pole and q circle Of cardboard. upon
which was marked the number of
times he was entitled to hsh. Thus
equipped, he went up on the bridge
and fished In the pond. Tickets were
also sold BY the bridge keepers. Re
freshments were served, and there
were candy and cake tables and two
stalls where fancy articles were sold.
One OF these stalls bore the sign.
Fish Market" Here nsh OF many
brilliant colors and quaint shapes
were for sale: there were blotters,
shaving cases. pin cushions and
sachet bags. On the cake table were
many toothsome nshes-chocolate and
clear candy fishes and boxes of candy
decorated with water color and pen
and ink sketches, also sandwiches cut
out with fish-shaped tin cutters, also
cookies and small iced cakes. At In
tervals singing and tableaux may be
given for variety.

SMART THEATER GOWN.

Glittering pailIettes in close curves and
scrolls have made way for floral gar
lands and panel effects. Most of these
jetted robes have fiounces, which give
fine flare at the foot.
A delightful trimming for chiffon
cloth ball gown is large colored flowers,
embroidered directly on the material,
surrounded by scrolls of lace insertion
and rutfies through which narrow rib
bon the same color as the material is
woven.
There are pretty little scarfs for the
alter and card parties Of silk in old
fashioned oblong shape, rather narrow
and edged with one row of silk fringe.
A girl in one of these scarfs looks like
q copy of civil war belle.
Square and round necked waists are
very fashionable for theater wear this
winter. They are not as low as regu-
lar evening bodice; still they are frank
" low. The finishing touch Is band
of black velvet ribbon worn round the
neck just under the ears.
The theater gown illustrated is a
charming example of the new style in
square necked effect. 1t is of gray
marquisette. trimmed with number
Of tiny ruffies put on In festoon fash
ion and further adorned with steel
