Bold Prediction.
He also predicts that within a year
aeroplanes will be going on hundred
mile trips at an Insignificant cost com

within five years aeroplane omnibuses
will traverse the streets OF Paris and
London.
The two difficulties to overcome are
that q high fight Will be necessary

problem OF maintaining an equilibrium
In flight. This requires practice and
a physical training almost acrobatic.
Farman's new machine is expected
greatly TO remedy this defect. Prizes

The path of the society woman is not
always strewn with roses, and the
woman who plays the part of hostess
to any extent requires more tact than
is generally supposed.
The hostess, young or old, is in part
responsible for the conduct of her
guests.
The same command which forbade
the ~Israelites to do n work on the
Sabbath day is extended to the
stranger within their gates, and the
principle holds good mother things,
society among them.
A girl prominent in local social
circles once invited a number of her
friends to a luncheon. She afterwards
acknowledged that she had not en-
joyed it and was glad when the after
noon was over. When urged for an
explanation she said: "Well. some of
the girls seemed inclined to gossip.
One after another was mentioned only
to be criticised. Stories we're told Of
girls not present, and some of the
things said were not only unlkind, but
malicious. ! sat through it all, but l
can tell you 1 was uncomfortable"
1t was a serious mistake. and on that
should never have been permitted. She
allowed something in her own home
and among her own guests of which
she thoroughly disapproved. BY exer-
cising a little tactful f1rmness she could
have turned the conversation into
other channels; she might have done
so without being brusque or dis
courteous.
At any rate, it was her business to
see that objectionable conversation
was stopped, and she needed to be only
a little bit decided to have it stopped.
Very often when a hostess has guests
visiting at her home she finds them
inclined to break certain regulations of
the household and to do that of which
she does not approve. Courtesy does
not demand hat this should be per-
mitted to go on. Indeed, If your guests
are worthy of your friendship there is
nothing they will be more unwilling
to do.
Make known you household regula-
tions at the start, and take 1t for
granted that your guests as well as
yourself ave going to live up to them.
The woman who fails in this regard
falls short of her responsibility as q
hostess.

PRETTY CLOTHES
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

The canny mother who has secured
a clever little house dressmaker and
has taken advantage of the numerous
opportunities for buying odd lengths of
pretty hin materials, marquisettes,
chiffon cloth, crystallines, mousselne
de sole, pineapple cloth, crepe de chine,
French mulls in floral patterns. or any
of the many dainty light fabrics that
make up with a minimum of labor into
charming little frocl1s, is awaiting the
homecoming of her daughters with
pretty dancing frocks ready to be FIN
ished in a few hours after the one
trying on that will be all that is
necessary for their final adjustment.
III one family known to the writer,
where five young daughters must be
kept looking trim and pretty, the
Jane" or lay Ngure in the sewing
room, has five dress Innings padded to
the shape of each of the girls. These
are slipped on Jane as needed, and
in an emergency waists and even whole
dresses are made up and sent away to
the school without even n fitting,
though the one final adjustment of the
young woman is always preferable.

MODISH GARMENTS
IN MILITARY CUT.

The trim, closely nodded lines OF the
military styles make an Irresistible ap-
peal to women of good proportions, for
the suit that does long and continuous
service. These coats are t~hree-auarter
fitting, beautifully curved into the figure
at the back, cut half long, and in many
instances have the skirts of the coat
slashed up almost to the waist line.
The fronts are ornamented with wide
silk braids in matching color or in
black. These are put on in military
strappings with braid buttons, whils
the edges and other lines are orna-
mented and emphasized by tho same
braid trimmings. Developed in cloth,
these have long coat sleeves. and usu-
ally an inlaid cuff and collar of velvet
to match.
Velvet coats and suits made upon the
military motifs are moro varied as to
details, and the sleeve in these, as in
almost all dress models, is cut the
seven-eighth length that has proved
too becoming to be lightly abandoned.
Velvet is decidedly modish, both in
plain, shadow stripes and fancy printed
effects.

EVEN ROYALTY HAS
TROUBLE WITH MAIDS.

Queens have their troubles with
servants. A story hat is reported
about Queen Marguerite of Rome is a
good example of this. About six years
g the Queen noticed a, lady on the
street who wore a dress hat was
strangely familiar to her. A little later
when she was in the palace she ordered
a search to be instituted, and 1t turned
out that the dress was one of her own
She had recently put it aside, and her
maid had quickly seized the chance to
sell The gown. The Queen needed very
little further proof, says the New York
Stats Zeitung. The girl was dismissed
and a new one engaged.
This new maid was very %diligent,
very skilful, very attentive-in brief,
Just such a servant as one reads about
in story books. The Queen was greatly
contented, and regarded her as 1.-THE
jewel of the servants"
Then something unexpected hap
pened. Once again the Queen drove
through the streets of the Eternal City,
and again noticed a lady who wore a
magnificent costume that was very
familiar to her. This time she was not
long astonished. When she came to
the palace she ordered her wardrobe
searched, and thereby was proved that
the jewel of the servants" had nicely
assumed claim to an entirely different
title. The whole year she had ener-
getically traded the dresses of the
Queen, and thereby obtained a moder-
ate profit of about 1000 francs yearly.
But II went at the work more
cautiously than her predecessor. Her
transactions were only under the
friendly condition that the dresses
could never be worn in Italy. An in
cautious dame from Buffalo, though
could not bring herself to wait so long,
n wore the dress. But one glance
from the Queen, and the secret was
brought to light.

NOZZLE
A Boys Career.

my Oldest boy will be a doctor and
his brother will be a lawyer" said a
local club woman of her W small sons
the other day. 81 have their careers all
mapped out, and even now l am look
ing forward to the time when they VIII
be great
Suppose they do not care to be doc
tors or lawyers? They might tax 1t
into their heads to study for the min
istry." spoke up a gray-haired woman
whose children are all married. you
cannot always tell, you know"
well, ! have very little doubt about
it," was the rejoinder as the club wom-
an tossed her head. MY children
learned long ago to do as they were
told, and I think that in a matter of
choosing a vocation they will not go
against my Wishes"
"Wait and see," said the gray-haired
n with a wise nod, land be careful
lest they bolt completely from home in
nuence."
There is small danger, I think"
answered the clubwoman. 81 am sure
they know I have their interests at
heart" and she brought the converse
ton to a close by abruptly turning to
a friend who stood near.

Girls and Their Futures.

'Why did you study for a religious
life in the first place ?" he was asked,
''To please my folks" said he. "They
were set against my thinking of any
other career, and, after many wordy
wars, I decided to please them. But it
did not go, and l think they UNDER
stand why by this time"
The same rule can we'll be applied to
girls. 1 have known girls to waste
many valuable hours of time in dreams
of success on the stage, who had no
more histrionic ability than a tele-
graph pole. And these same young
women would have made the best kind
of milliners or -dressmakers, because
they were so gifted.
But nowadays few girls look upon
the ability to trim hats or sew as ac-
complishments. They would rather
bore an impatient public with poorly
written books or worse acting.
Find out what you a do, and then
do it well. MOLLlE.

Mistakes.

1t seems to me that parents make
the worst kind of a mistake when they
take away from their children tho
right to take a part in the deciding of
their futures. A boy can hardly make
"a good doctor if he becomes one only
through his fathers wishes. He will
be doing wonderfully we'll if he man
ages to get through college under such
conditions.
II was meant to devote my life to
religious work" said a well-known
business man the other day, land, as
q matter of fact, l spent two years of
my college life in preparation for it.
But one day I made up my mind that
it was a great deal better to become
a flrst-rate business man than a
mediocre priest. So I said good-by to
my books and started for home, and it
was not long before I was up to my
neck in business affairs and enjoying
every minute of them"
when you enjoy doing a thing" he
added, "you Ear always put heart and
soul in it, But you can never make a
success of any work unless your heart
is in it."
