SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.


Most mothers hold, consciously or
unconsciously, one of the 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 a kind
heart and a we'll trained mind she
will behave in gentle, charming
fashion. I will teach her compassion,
respect for age, unselfish zeal for
helping with the worlds work. Her
manners will take care Of them
selves"
Another mother says: My girls
will never get on without conven-
tional manners. They shall be taught
from babyhood to emulate the speech
and bearing of ladies. They shall be
instructed in the proper behavior for
every occasion. They shall walk and
dance and write and speak with
graceful perfection.
Neither method, says the Youth S
Companion, produces altogether sat
isfactory results.
Unselfshness is truly the founda-
ton of good manners, but not the
superstructure. Many conventional
restrictions have grown about social
relations. Some can be explained by
the demand of kindness and some can
not Could a child infer from his
desire to help others that he should
not eat with his knife? Many Of
lenses against good taste interfere
in some way with the rights Of others,
but many others do not.
Still, no set Of rules to produce a
polished lady will achieve the result
fit for the strain of life. The manners

Plumes of many tones are assoc1-
ated upon one hat.
Moire silks and ribbons are used
considerably on fall millinery.
The all-black hat, black and white
hat, and all-white hat are popular.
Hand embroidery decorates many
evening gowns in preference to lace
The trotter skirt for street wear is
much shorter than it, was last sea-
son.
Checks, stripes and plaid Innings
for transparent materials continue in
favor.
The cameo brooch is in strong
favor just now, and the narrow rim
is liked best.
The belt is so made that the bow
gives the short-waisted Empire et-
feet at the back.
Checked and striped Foiles are
much used in the creation OF elabo-
rate carriage costumes.
The cutaway coat, very much cut
away, seems to be the best accom-
paniment for the ultra tight skirts.
Not alone tailored cloth gowns but
those of silk and satin for evening
wear are cut circular with the seam
at the centre front.
Osprey aigrettes, massed SO that
they swirl over the whole crown OF
the hat and fall out over the wide
brim, are popular.
Among the new belts are those
composed of strips of leather that
pass lengthwise around the waist and
are joined by transverse strips.
Trimmed ruf1les are generally used
on underwear, often all the en-
broidery and lace insertings on a gar
ment being placed on the ruffies.

PASSING OF GREAT BEAUTIES.
Where are the glorious beauties
that awakened the admiration and
passion of our forebears? Where are
the modern Helens, the Recaimers,
De Castigliones and Lady Hamiltons?
If Nine. Retainer came again to Lon
don would she inspire the cockneys
to draw her carriage through the
streets? 1t is more than doubtful.
People might turn and say to their
neighbors, What lovely woman! "
but no man among those adventurous
admirers would sit up O. nights COM
posing a sonnet to her eyebrow. No;
these days are gone-killed by ele-
gance and by intelligence.
1t must be confessed that since
woman began to cultivate her brain
she has been less exclusively occupied
in making conquests of the other sex.
ANY woman would be beautiful if she
could, but she would first be intelli-
gent. The average Frenchwoman in
society pleases because of her charm
and piquancy-characte of her
face as well as her intellectual for
tune-and not because she is Venus
of Milo.
Touching the classical type, there
is this sad confession to make, that
the artists of the day have Joined in
a conspiracy against beauty. Look
upon the canvases in the exhibitions
and do you find an exquisite and
radiant glory of womanhood there
depicted? Not at all; you find the
interesting" face, and the interesting
face is very rarely pretty.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Castro's Star.

In spite of the hostility Of the whole
word President Castro of Venezuela
manages to keep himself in power in his
own country. He is a little man who
walks with a limp. His lameness was
caused b. bullet wound received when
he was making his theatrical campaign
for the presidency.
On one occasion Castro was sitting out
a dance with the wife of the American
minister. AS was Napoleon, he is a firm
believer in the influence of astronomical
bodies over the destines of men. On the
night in question the sky was radiant.
Ole big star was so brilliant that it at
tracted the lady's attention
look at that star, Mr.. President,
she said. tIt seems to be watching over
the whole earth"
That is true" replied Castro gradilo:
quentiy. THAT star is my star. When
that star shall fall | shall fall"
There was an arrogance in his tone
that left no doubt in the mind of his
nearer that he was fully convinced as TO
tie accuracy of his belief. He made
this statement five years ago and his star
still seems to be in the ascendent. Chi

Gum and Thought.

One thing is certain-you cannot chew
oum and think at the same time with
any degree of success. You may chew
gem and work mechanically, you may
read with gum in your mouth, and per-
haps not miss anything in the author,
but when it comes right down to good
hard mental effort, you cannot conceh-
trate and achieve the best results of
which you are capable while your jaws
work increasingly. That champing is
Just so much wasted energy, and as such
dissipates your force and keeps your
thinking powers reduced to the lowest
point.
Just put it down in your notebook as
a fact that no man can think deep, logi-
cal or we'll balanced thoughts while his
jaws are working overtime. = Chicago

BRIDE BOUGHT BY WEIGHT.

Among the peasants in some parts
of Hungary it is the custom for the
bridegroom to pay a certain sum to
the brides parents, and in cases
where the parties cannot agree the
mayor acts as arbitrator. The Mayor
of Volked, who is a cattle dealer, re-
Gently had to settle q case of this
kind. After inspecting the br.Ae he
decided that she was worth half a
crown a pound, and that Keotvoes,
the bridegroom, who is we'll to do
peasant, must pay for her at that
rate, says Home Notes.
Both parties agreed to his verdict,
and the bride was found to weigh
eighty-six pounds. KeotVoes there
fore handed over SO 15s. to her
parents, and the wedding took place
without more ado.

Insects and Mirrors.

In his experiments to determine
whether it is the color or the odor
of flowers that attract bees and other
insects, NJ. Plateau, the Belgian ZOO
logist, bethought him of trying
mirror. He selected a flower of
striking color and strong odor, and
placed it before an excellent glass
in which the reflection was perfect.
All the insects went straight to the
real flower, and not a single one ap-
preached the reflection in the mirror.
