Two very sood reasons for listening
are that q good listener Is popular, and
the second that in this way one &C.
quires all sorts of Information, some
useful, some not worth keeping, and
still another kind that Ii amusing. A
third most excellent reason is that each
person has a hobby or some one thing
in which he or she is interested. To
hit upon this, and draw out the talker
is to make one appear at bis best.

A woman removed thick ink stains
from an Administer carpet by putting
on it a paste of buttermilk and starch,
letting it remain two days and wash
ing OF with cold water; second ap-
ulication was allowed to remain three
DAYS, and then every vestige of the

it is just as well to be careful with
the ink bottle.

Feather Hatnins.

Quite the daintiest, prettiest things
imaginable are the feathered hatpins
that have arrived recently from Paris.
They are shown in endless variety.
Humming birds offer themselves as
particularly charming and adaptable,
owing to the varied character of their
plumage, and there are also some dear
little pescocks in realistic colorings, and
a distinguished note is shown in black
crows.
So fascinating are these feathery
hatpins that they almost amount to
trimmings.

A woman can not be said to be truly
and admired bt the members of her
own as well as the opposite sex. She
must be welcomed by all, cid and
young. male and female, or she can not
be called an attractive woman without
reservation.
She must be herself, her best self,
at all times and with all people; she
must think and act for herself, and ex-
press her own opinions, rather than try
to copy some person she may admire, or
who is admired by the lords Of crea-
ton.
Individuality, when combined with
petite manner and tact, is always at
tractive. A woman's happy. infectious
laugh is better than medicine or ad.
vice, and her CHEEKY presence is al
ways welcome as the sunshine.
A girl, to be truly popular, never says
mean things about other girls, think
ing that the men will like her better
and she doesn't try to monopoliZe the
attentions of all the men at once, but
is willing TO let other girls have their
share of admiration and attention along
with her. She doesn't NOPE and re
treat within herself if there are>no
men about to advise her, but she cheer
fully sets about making the best of mat
ters without them, and making such
companions as she has happier and
brighter for her presence.
If she has grievance she keeps e to
herself, for woman with grievance
is very soon voted a bore. The weep
ing. fainting, sad-eyed young woman il
much out of style nowadays, not only
in novels, but in real life, and the hap
by, healthy, independent, cheerful and
sunny girl has totally eclipsed her il
popularity. Exchange.

The woman who has set herself the
task of living up to every whim and
vagary of La Mode, is finding 1t no
easy matter to keep pace with the
autocratic dame, whose moods just at
present are most erratic. In the mil
linery she has executed what may, in
truth. be called vote face. The
backward tilt, apparently, was merely
temporary liberation, which has
speedily given way before the more
aristocratic attractions of firm set
on the head. AS a matter of fact, this
is a perfectly natural poise, the sweep
