The second letter is from a woman

says that women for whose comfort

take the trouble even to say "Merci."

that they must take their full share

THE OLD PosTMAN's RING.
Information in the Various Ways in
Which He Pushes the Button.

The same letter carrier has been
bringing mail to a fiat. on the Parl
Slope in Brooklyn for several years
He is an obliging man and withal in
telligent, discriminating and method
ical.
While the family is at breakfas:
the door bell sounds and the maid
starts toward the speaking tube tina,
runs to the vestibule.
Its the postman, Gretchen" the
mistress says.
Gretchen takes the letter box key
and starts to go down stairs.
"Never mind" says the mistress;
'it's an advertising circular"
On another occasion the mistress
tells the maid not to ask through the
speaking tube or open the door, but
60 down; the letter carrier has .
package too large to be put in the
letter box.
Again. the mistress tells Gretchen
to fetch up the mail, for there arc

man does his share; he pushes ths
button and she does the rest.
But. whether by design or from
method unconsciously acquired during
many years of faithful service, he
pushes the button in q way that Is
significant to those to whom he has
been bringing mail for considerable
time. 1t Is not probable that the
postman has ever told any of those
whom he serves that he has differ
emit rings for different pieces Of mail
matter. Perhaps he is even uncon-
scious that he has, but there is =
difference, and it is possible to guess
with a considerable approach to &C
curacy what he has brought from
his way of pushing the button.

you ever reflect that beauty is a

DON'T CARE FOR DRESS.


The Russian Empress cares little
for dress, though her coronation robe
of cloth Of silver and pearls was
marvellous thing. And she looked
like some goddess of the North in
novel ball dress l designed for her
recently. It was a simple" gown
of white velvet with a long train and
superb veil. This last was kept in
its place by a jewelled white dove
lightly perched on the Tsaritsa's hair.
which was arranged over a cushion.
Carmen Sylvia, the white-haired Queen
of Roumania, affects the charming
flowing draperies of her country, with
long lace veil held in position with
jewelled pins. The favorite color of
Queen Elena Of Italy is a soft blue
gray. Wilhelmina of Holland feels
most at home in tailor-made gown,
and the Dowager Queen of Spain has
brilliant taste in patterned brocades
and silks-Worth in Harper's Bazaar

versa.-Edna Wallace Hopper.
