Looking Out for His KiufoIk.

"When l was governor of Tennessee, /"
said Senator Bob Taylor, of Tennessee,
II received letter from an inmate fof
the State Penitentiary of Missouri. Ny
dear cousin, it ran, it amt fittin fer one
Nv yore kinfolks to be In the pen, an |
wisht you'd git n out eff you kim" 1t
was signed Bob Taylor W. ich looked
as If the writer ought to be mighty close
kin.
II sent it to the Governor of Missouri
with the following Endorsement; I wish,
if you Can conscientiously do so, t at
you would turn this fellow loose, and if
ever any of your relatives get in the
Tennessee Penitentiary II! return the
favor
II heard later" concluded the Senator,
that Bob had gained his freedom, but
whether through my efforts I have never
learned. And he hasn't thanked me
yet. Washington Herald

An exquisite dress trimming is
filet net, entirely of gold.
The tunic, in fact, can hardly be
said to have even an established
vogue of its own as yet.
French piques are being used
again for tailored blouses.
The American bolero is made of
four silk handkerchiefs put together
and connected with inserting.
The advance styles of hats would
indicate that ostrich plumes are to
be as great a favorite as ever.
The edge of the tunic gives oppor-
tunity for the display Of original
designs in well-executed hand en-
broidery.
The separate coat, with long and
fancifully shaped skirt part, has a
similar effect in smart carriage and
visiting gowns.
The horseshoe pin set with coral
is as useful for fastening the girdle
as it is the collar for which it was
originally designed.
White cotton wolfe, trimmed laV-
ishly with valenciennes and cluny or
Irish crochet laces, is being used
again for lingerie waists.
Every dressy event in Paris calls
out collections of toilets so f1lmy and
beautiful in color that one can think
only of flocks of butterflies in look
ing over them.
Waists are strikingly plain, but of
course every woman isn't going to
wear plain waists, for some women
have the courage to wear what is be-
coming regardless of fashion.
Every season witnesses some new
mode in hat trimmings. This sea-
son the preference is for flowers and
wings, and quite vogue for Ameri-
can beauty roses, which combine so
effectively with almost any color Of
trimmings.

THE MATINEE GIRL.

cts an amazing thing to me, y
said a member of woman's club,
that theatrical managers don't give
their premier performances in the
afternoon instead of the evening, as
most of them do. When you come
to think of it, it's the matinee girl
who makes or breaks a production.
Opening nights may be never so sue
cessful, but until the mallnee girl
has set the seal of her popularity
on a play it is not lasting success.
Not that her direct patronage con-
stitutes the greater part of the box
office receipts. If the manager had
to depend on what comes from the
matinee girls own little purse his
might be hard lot. But she infiu-
ences patronage. "-Pittsburg Dis

Human Dogs in Paris.

A new profession, known as that OF
the ''two-legged dogs" has been intro
duced by the Paris authorities.
A tax OF So a year is imposed on every
dog, and the owners are supposed to de.
clare them themselves. Many of the
owners cvade the tax by giving 81 a
year to their concierge. When the fiscal
authorities make inquiries the concierge
den es the existence of the dogs and the
Revenue is defrauded
The authorities are now paying $50 a
month to number of men who can bark.
The men walk along the streets at night,
batk outside every house, and when a
dog replies take note of the address and
send round the tax collector.
It is Woodworking profession, but for
hose artists who have failed to get an
engagement at the opera and are fond of
exercise it means bread and butter.

Arctic Dog Life.

Nowhere in the world has the dog
such unrestricted right of way as in
our most northerly possession
Alaska. In winter when the more
than 100000 square miles of terri
tory are sealed up in solid ice, dogs
are almost the sole means Of getting
from place to place-in fact, they
seem necessary to life itself.
The aristocrats of Arctic dog life
are the mail teams in the service of
the United States Government. They
are to-day a superior breed to the
dogs employed some half-dozen years
ago before great gold discoveries de-
manded increased mail service

MAKING INTRODUCTIONS.

Introductions should always take
the simplest form, and, without ex-
ception, the man is always presented
to the woman, the latter's name being
the first mentioned, as Mrs. So-and-
So, l want to present Mr.. Smith to
you" This phrase is sufficient 1t
is not necessary then to say Mr..
Smith, l want you to meet Mrs. So
and-So." AS matter of fact this
repetition to the man is bad form,
because it then presents the woman
to him.
1t is the height of rudeness to pre-
sent man to 4 woman without first
asking her permission. When, how
ever, the guess are i'll small draw
ing room and the occasion is an in

LOUISE'S HAT TRIMMED.

~
Until she was six years old little
Louise had lived in the city. Then
her mother moved to a smaller town
where the houses stood in large
yards, and there were trees and flow
ers and plenty of grass. Louise had
li,'le garden all her own, and in it
she raised one tomato plant, one pea
vine, two dandelions and geranium.
Think of that!
There were many other things
about her home that pleased little
Louise. One was a swing with two
chairs that faced each other, and
here she and her sister used to sit and
swing and play they were riding in
the cars.
One day Louise was sitting in the
swing alone, when bird pumped
down out of the apple tree right upon
the crown of her hat. Louise was a
bit startled, but her mother, who
sat near in the hammock, called out:
Don't be frightened, dear; 1t is just
a baby robin! Keep still and see
what he will do"
So Louise kept still, and the robin
perched on her hat and looked about.
Then he seemed to think that he
would like to take walk, for ne
got down off the crown of Louise's
hat and hoped around the rim, until
at last he tumbled off into the grass.
Pussy saw the bird fall, and started
at once to creep slyly towards him,
but Louise's mother saw her and
scared her away, and picked the baby
robin up and put him in the tree,
where the old birds were making a
great fuss. They seemed glad to get
their baby back again.
Louise's mother says she doesnt
like hats trimmed with dead birds,
but if little live bird wishes to trim
q hat with himself, why, that is quite
a different matter!-Mary Wood-Al-
len, i'll Little Folks.

Think No Evil.

Remember that charity thinketh no
evil, much less repeats it. These are
two good rules which ought to be
written on every heart-never believe
anything bad about anybody unless
you positively know it is true; never
tell even that unless you feel that it
is absolutely necessary, and that God
is listening while you tell it.-Henry
Van Dyke.

WIFE'S SAVINGS.

It is as much the custom in the
laborer's cottage as in statelier homes
for the wife to be given a fixed sum
for household expenses; and so long
as he lives comfortably the lord and
master of the establishment is glad
to let the wife save what she can. The
practice makes for thrift, and sorry
is the position of the wife whose hus-
band does not allow it.-London

THE WOMAN AMANUENSIS.

THE WOMAN AMANUENSIS.
The male amanuensis has been
hopelessly beaten in the race by the
busy woman scholar. Her industry
is tireless and her knowledge abso-
lutely thorough. Her winning quail
f1cation is patience-the dry details
which slacken a mans attention are
vigorously grappled with in her case,
so that the demand for her labor and
knowledge is on the increase. In a
few years, however, she will have
wiped the male amanuensis out of
existence. But it is characteristic of
her that the British Museum is the
only great building in London in
which one never sees a pretty CO.'S
tume-except inside the cover of a
book.-Woman's Life.
