Girls and Their Sweethearts

A cynical writer has said that the chief emotion in a girls mind toward the man who wants to marry her is ofre of somewhat contemptuous compassion. That he can think her an angel and want to tell her so, gives her a lowered opinion of his intellect. This is, however, very cyn- ical language indeed.
 A girl often thinks a man remarkably foolish She sees quite well that he cares for her. and yet he trembles and fears to tell her so. She is quite aware that she is not at all alarming, and she thinks it silly of him to fancy she is.
 She often thinks him remarkably odd Love in a man has a tendency to make him do and say things for which she cannot possibly account He Is apt to dis appoint her a good deal, if there has been any friendship between them before, for that now goes in mysterious and unpleasant way, and it apparently leaves nothing in it's place. She can't under stand, and she doesn't like it.
 All this applies only to the girl who does not love the man counting her. But if the girl herself cares for her lover, why, then, he need not fear to be either absurd or alarming in her eyes.

The Next Mistress Of the
 White House

St. Johns will be the place of worship of the next mistress of the White House and her daughter, as 1t has been of Mrs. Roosevelt.
 St. Johns is the most fashionable church at the capital, and has been the religious home of many of the Presidents families.
 Madison worshipped there, Van Buren was a member of the congregation and Arthur was a communicant and regular attendant.
 James Silk Buchanan, who visited Washington in 1888, and made many in teresting chronicles of his travels in this country, wrote of ''The Episcopal Church of Dr. Hawley," meaning St. Johns, that it being near most of the public offices, a large portion of the congregation Is composed of the families of members or the cabinet and heads of the departments. The President, Van Buren, walked into the church unattended by single serv- ant, took his place in the pew in which others were sitting besides himself. and retired in the same manner as he came, without being noticed in any greater de- gree than any other member of the con- gregation.'

Visit Of Mary Anders

A visit of much interest to the Ameri- can public is that of Mary Anderson Navarro and her husband which will be made to the latter's parents during the holiday season at their home in New York city.
 come over from England for ten years and there is great rejoicing among the friends of this popular couple, that they will remain on this side for several weeks.
 As Mary Anderson, Mrs Navarro was the greatest actress of her time, but since her marriage she has never appeared on the stage except for charity, in this coun- try or England.
 beautiful and talented woman ever es- sayed, was that of Parthenia, in the old fashioned poetical drama of "Ingomar" ," She also played Lady Macbeth, and Meg Merrlles Her style was that of Mrs. Siddons and Charlotte Cushman-a style very different from the petty, mincing, affected, unimaginative, manner that pre- vails among so-called great actresses of the present day Mary Anderson under stood how to read the poetry of the drama an accomplishment that has almost van ished from the theatre nowadays.
 MT, and Mrs. Navarro have two lovely children-a girl and boy-who will ac- company them on their visit.

Oriental Ornaments.

The woman who owns an odd looking buckle or ornament that she thought she couldn't use in other days can wear it now while others envy her.
 It is quite the fashion to have sr shield of metal and jewels plastered on the bodice back, front or on the should CTS. There Is an unwritten law of dress that only one of these is allowed to a bodice.
 The Oriental shops are doing a thriving trade in this end of the business. They are presenting all manner of queer buckles and clasps made of oddly colored metals and stones.
 They are not inexpensive, although they are fad of the year. The other shops have put In stock of them and find they sell very well.
 Women who own any such jewelry are finding themselves in an enviable position They can use it as a clasp to the back of the bodice, at the top of double box pleat, or they can attach it to the right shoulder as beginning for the long tulle gown.
 A few girls have tried these barbaric ornaments as belt buckles, but they are entirely too large and ungainly to be put against the waist.

How Tolstoi Lives

The veteran Count Tolstoi lives now adays the life of an ordinary landed gen. tleman on his estate, 13o miles south of Moscow.
 It will no doubt be of interest to many who have followed the life of this great Russian, to know that it has now been many years since he made boots as an indoor occupation or did much blowing or agricultural work as an outdoor recreation.
 There w time for more than ten years whe. devoted the greater part of each sun CT dhe Russian summer is short you low) to doing field work, such as the ,asants do.
 One year he saved pq .J- man from distress by df for her the work she would otherw SC have had to hire a laborer to do.
 Count Tolstoi at present owns no prop erty personally, having transferred 1t all to his wife and children.
 In dress, food and in all other respects he aims at simplicity.

Hints to Housewives.

If there is no ink eraser, try moistening a pencil eraser with 8 wet finger. It will rub out bad mistake, but must be done carefully or the paper roughens.
 Benzine, naphtha alcohol cleans the glass of pictures splendidly, and does not require the care that water does. It dries at once and gives the glass a brilliant polish with less rubbing.
 If a picture is to be reframed hot water is the quickest way to separate the pie ture from it's mount.
 Orange marmalade Is pleasant change from lemon when serving afternoon tea. It is a new wrinkle to pass marshmal- lows with hot chocolate When the can dies are dissolved a pleasant flavor is given to the chocolate.
 Much wear and tear on the nerves, and, incidentally, much time is saved if the typewriter eraser Is tied with a long string 10 the machine. The string should be amply long and reach to the end of tho carr iaTe when pushed to its fur thest extent.
 White shoes are more easily polished if before using the prepared chalks they are slipped upon trees and carefully scrubbed off with small brush dipped in warm water and soap. Avoid wetting the soles
 A gloIifed hash can be made from cold roast beef, to which IS added boiled chest nuts, chopped mushrooms a little cur rait jelly and sherry. Heat through and serve on rounds of toast.
 Tn roasting chestnuts at home be sure to smother them when done. Wrap in several folds of napkin, or, better yet, flannel The flavor Is greatly improved.
 Match safes should never be hung with ribbon. There will be no danger from fire if Q fine copper wire is used instead. The copper color is more nearly invisible than the steel wires.

The Care of Roses.

Roses may be kept fresh for a week by exercising a little judgment in the care of them.
 When they first come in from the florist arrange them in a good-sized, deep vase, to provide plenty of space and mois- ture.
 Freshen the stems every day by cut ting off an inch or two with a knife. Never use scissors for this purpose, as they compress the wood cells and leave them so tightly pinched together that they cannot absorb the water in the vase.
 If the room becomes overheated remove the roses to a cooler place
 At night fill the wash basin with cold water and throw the flowers into it.
