Independent Women

their own gowns. bonnets, wraps etc.

style and taste. governed. OF course.
In degree by prevailing modes. is no
doubt today very much larger than II
ever was since fashion ruled the 2eo-
pie This is certainly one OF the cheer
ing tokens of wider culture in a good
sense Of the term, and a finer appre-
citation of what is fit and becoming in
individual cases, leaving current rules
and set DEGREES of fashion to be util-
lied or not. to be adopted or dis
carded when and where it is deemed
proper and best.
The ridicule and opposition from those
who unerrinsly follow wherever fash
lon leads seems rather to stimulate
than dampen the courage and ardor of
women who IN matters Of dress dare
to be independent and free and are
infiexibly bent on being so. With these.
except in instances of the extreme
gowning of women OF cratic ideas.
the natural lines of grace and beauty
are preserved without doing any vio-
lence to really good taste. while at the
same time their attire serves as a pro-
test most decided against many of the
prevalent ugly fashions OF the period.

Quiet Manners

I WISH cities would teach their best
lesson-of quiet manners 1t is the
foible especially of American youth
-pretension. The mark of the man Of
the world is absence of pretension. He
does not make a speech: he takes
low, business tone, avoids all brag, is
nobody, dresses plainly, promises not
al all, performs much. speaks in mono
syllables. hugs his fact He calls his
employment by its lowest name, and
so takes from evil tongues their
sharpest weapon. His conversation
clings to the weather and the news,
yet he allows himself to be surprised
into thought and the unlocking Of his
learning and philosophy.
How the imagination is pioued by
anecdotes Of some great man passing
incognito, as a king in gray clothes;
Of Napoleon affecting a plain suit at
his glittering levee; OF Burns, or Scott,
or Beethoven, or Wellington, or
Goethe. or any container of transcend
ent power, passing for nobody: of
Epaminondas, who never says any,
thing, but will listen eternally"; of
Goethe, who preferred trifiing subjects
and common expressions in intercourse
with strangers, worse rather than bet
ter clothes and to appear a little more
capricious than he was. There are adj
vantages in the old hat and box coat.

The Game of Years

TF YOUR friend refuses to tell his
age, you can by an underground
II method arrive at the desired infor-
nation by a process that never fails.
The.friend must do the first part of the
work.
Ask him to take the number Of tho
month in which he was born and null
tiply it by two.
January is counted as number one.
February as number two and so on
through the year. To this product he
must add five and multiply by fifty
To this last number he must add his
present age, and from the sum sub
tract the number of days there are in
year, or 365.
All the work up to this point must be
done by the person without letting any
one see his figures: but now ask him
to tell you what number he has found,
and to that number you add lis.
The result obtained by this last opera
ton contains the information wanted.
Point out two figures on the right and
the number Will be the age sought,
while the number on the left of the
point will give the month in which the
person was born.

college man who had made a grab for

Women at home are the victims of the
weak and helpless, who everlastingly
seek a comforter and confidante. The
rushing business woman is usually

And who is the confidante, after all?
Why. she is the woman whose human
sympatnies are made up Of sorrows that
have prevented the well of pity from
