ORIGIN OF THE DAY At HOME.
Started by Mile De scudery in Paris
in the Eighteenth Century.

Started by Mile De scudery in Paris
In the Eighteenth Century.
The feminine custom Of having a
day at home originated in France in
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury with Mile. de Scudery, an author.
ess and woman whom all the great
personages of old Paris delighted to
honor.
Mile. de Scudery was as busy as
any modern American woman, and
Tor that reason, being also a wise
woman. she organized her activities.
She had two days a week at home.
Her Saturdays became historic, for it
was then she received the brilliant
men and beautiful women who made
famous the salon of the Hotel Ram
bouillet. On Tuesdays she received
her intimate friends.
Many French women of the great
world Of the present time have two
days at home week, says Harper's
Bazar; others receive certain hours,
say, until 3 in the afternoon, every
day In the week, while women of the
middle class who have many serious
occupations permit themselves the
pleasure of seeing their friends at
home but one day in two weeks.
In any case French women es-
sentially preserve the charm of the
custom established by Mile. de
Scudery, who achieved her success by
simple means which are quite within
the reach of every American woman.
Her small house in Paris stood in a
garden full of fruit-bearing trees sur.
rounded by tall shrubs and bushes.
Conversation-that finest Of all the
fine arts-was "litteraire ct galante,"
gay and gossipy, according to the
character of those present. and II the
weather was fine they took a turn in
the garden gathering and eating cher
ries when the fruit was in season. In
short, the day was truly and in all
simplicity day at home.
The average American woman lives
always under the oppressive shadow
of the unexpected guest; whether she
Is making preserves, writing books,
shampooing her hair or spanking the
baby she is always under the strain
of the fear that somebody will drop
in; and such is the open door policy
OF American hospitality, particularly
In small towns, to be in the house
and not to receive the unexpected
guest is to convert friend into an
enemy. What woman in what small
American town cannot provide as
much for herself and her friends? Let
her try 1t and see what benefits she
will reap from 1hus ordering her re.
lations with the saorld.

THINK ALL WRITING SACRED.
How the Chinese Dispose of Letter,
and Waste PAPERS,

How the Chinese Dispose of letter.
and Waste Papers.
The Chinese hold every scrap of
writing sacred, 10 matter what the
characters express-the merest com.
mercial message, advertisement, etc.
Since Confucius Used those charac.
tiers to teach his wisdom, they are
holy.
In the average Chinese community
all letters and waste paper are laid
away in clean receptacle to await
the collector, who appears at regular
intervals to transfer the waste pa
pers to the sacred furnace. If the
papers were burned by the Chinese
IN their own homes the ashes of the
sacred writings would mingle with
the ashes Of wood and other fuel. and
the ashes of Chinese writings are as
sacred as the writing itself.
The ashes from the sacred furnace
are placed In sacks, the sacks are
conveyed by wagons to the sea, and
there, in a Mon war boat, are carried
out where the tide runs swift and
consigned to the waves. The Mon
war boat belongs to the Mon War
sher, which is lodge with branches
everywhere, organized and main
tanned for the purpose of paying rev.
erence to the spirit of CONTIGUOUS.
The furnace in the Chinatown
which nearly every large city in the
United States harbors is generally a.
brick, oven-like structure, about five
feet high. Opposite it on the wall
there will usually be an inscription
OF the character of the following:
The spirits of our ancestors are
pleased that we keep sacred the
writing Of our country" The society
OF Mon War Sher (Club of Beautiful
Writing) is made up in each case of
the prominent denizens of Chinatown.

Topics Of Conversation.

The pet subjects of today seem t.
be as follows: Racing, stocks AND
shares, politics Tin small quantities)
chiffons, bridge, motors and motoring
with word or two thrown in, &C
cording to taste. on art, music, books
newspapers, furniture, flowers and
gardening.
This up-to-date mixture is well
spiced with current small talk on the
marriages, deaths, debts, diet cures
and divorces of our dearest friends
and acquaintances. Among forbid.
den themes are the weather, religion
Except, perhaps, Christian Science,
and such tame topics as husbands,
babies, servants and other domestic
details of like character.
