.WhatEveryGirI
Should Know
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

THAT the man who isn't attentive
to his mother will make a neg
lectful husband.
That the man whose ambition it is
to shine in society will never shine
in business.
That the man who is out OF woTE
at least one-third Of his time has him
self more than the people or the times
to blame.
That no man may be trusted to
speak respectfully of a girl who has
shown she hasn't a great deal of re-
spect for herself.
That no man dreams of marrying
every woman he tells he loves.
Selfishness.
That selhshness is the predominant
ing element in every mans love. and
unless she is prepared to accept the
seltlshness uncomplatningly, she
should not accept his love.
That the girl who marries a man
to reform him breaks her own heart
instead
That the ecstatic excitement of the
preparations for the wedding are as
brief, compared with the dull monot-
ony OF what comes AFTER, as the ride
down hill on a sled Is compared with
the long pull up the hill when the
ride is ended. The only difference is
that the burden the married woman
pulls grows heavier much more rap
idly than the sled.
That when she compares the crit
icisms of her father with the praise
of her lover she does an injustice
to the man in whose love for her
there is no element of selfishness.
That the man who is incapable of
self denial Will expect his wife to do
all the self denying that is attend
ant on matrimony
The Man Who Drinks.
That the man who drinks, be 1t
ever so little, wastes his time, his
money and his prospects, and some
day will be as prodigal with his wife's
happiness.
That the girl who steals another
girls lover more often becomes an
object Of pity than of envy. The lover
who can be stolen will not bring joy
to any woman.
That some mems attentions are
truly said to be marked, because they
leave a mark that is never rubbed Off.
That for a girl to oppose the con-
ventions is like getting out in deep
water with a strong undercurrent and
no lifeguard in sight.

nuts there were aplenty, some with
sat1ny brown skins poking through
the protecting burrs, others lying
on the ground quite uncovered, and
still others bound tightly In the
burrs that Jack Frost had touched
too lightly to open.
The others noticed with amuse-
ment that Davie very carefully
selected the nuts that had shed their
prickly shells completely.

to Father Dear, and he nodded in
response.
After while, when all of the
nuts had been picked from the

tree and shook the branches. And
later he came down, and he and
the others had a gay time throw
ing stones and sticks into the tree
to dislodge the nuts that refused
to come down in any other way.

Mother Dear, when finding nuts had

And the dear Dear family retraced

That night they assembled in the
library, where lively fire was
sparkling and swapping In the CRATE.
And Mother Dear showed the chill

pan held over the flames. And when
the nuts We're nicely roasted they
were quickly eaten, before they had
a chance to cool. And Father Dear
went down in the cellar and drew a

! The detectives laughed with fine
scorn when they heard Professor
Poiydore gravely announce that the
mysterious robber at the Van Cam
pinBen mansion around the corner
from the Vanderbilts must have been
an Apollonian, and that the solution
OF the whole affair was the easiest
thing in the world. All they would
have to do was to find among the
women of the household one who was
q Mercurian.

connerton. contemptuously, that
since you suspect the robbers were
queer Greek gods you are going to
impress Cupid In your service to catch
them?"
Precisely So" replied Polydore, as
good-naturedly as If he had not no
ticed the sarcasm in the detectives
tone.
The robbery had occurred three
weeks before. A pearl necklace valued
at enough to ransom a king, and
many other jewels, each representing
a fortune, had been stolen from Mrs.
Van Campingen's stronghold while
the family were at dinner.
The Imprint OF Hand.
And the only clue which the de-
tectives had so far been able to work
on was the imprint of hand on the
freshly painted sill of one of the VIM
dows In the library.
This room was just back Of the
bedroom from which the jewelry had
been stolen, and faced on the back
yard. Although there were indica-
tions, in addition to the hand, that
the burglar bad either entered or left
by means of ropeladder, the win
dows. strangely enough, were found
| locked.
The detectives had photographed
| the imprint of the hand and compared
| it with the imprints in the Bertillon
department of police headquarters.
Nothing corresponding to 1t was
found.
Faith In Palmistry.
And so, after three weeks of
theori2ing, which had brought the
mystery no nearer solution, Mrs. Van
campingen insisted that her husband
enlist the services of Professor Poly
dore. She felt convinced he would be
able to reconstruct from the outlined
hand portrait of the entire man,
just as the celebrated naturalist
Owen used to reconstruct complete

silized imprint of a paw or tusk

The Charity Hospital and the
Sisters.

It is noted from New Orleans
newspapers that friction has arisen
between the Board of Administra-
ton of the Charity Hospital and the
Sisters, which is to be deplOred. The
friction is provoked by the Goldwa-
ter report, which is not explained,
but has for intent the relieving OF
the Sisters or placing them in a
subordinate position. To the credit
of Sister Mary Agnes, sister superior
at the Charity Hospital, be it said
that she met the issue without
equivocation which was unexpected
by the Charity Hospital Board.
Having recited in letter the ser
vice rendered by the Sisters for the
past eighty years, Sister Agnes says:
I'VE therefore feel that we have a
right at this time to know what the
intentions of the board are, partic-
ularly as this is matter of such Sc
rious import that we should have to
submit it to our superiors for advise
and instruction"
In it's comments the Picayune OBJ
serves:
This letter of the Sisters OF
Charity can have but one meaning,
namely, that if the new office of su-
perintendent takes from the sister
superior the authority she has here
tofore exercised for the good of the
hospital, and relieves the sisters CT
the control of the nursing of the
sick and the other functions they
have exercised SO long and SO sue
cessfully, they will feel compelled to
retire. The people of this
city will watch with keen interest
the outcome of this latest phase OF
the difficulty that the Goldwater re-
port has created in connection with
the Charity Hospital. 1t seems al
most incredible that the Sisters OF
Charity should be permitted to leave
the hospital as it would to change
the name and purpose of the great
institution
And to permit the Sisters to retire
from their splendid management OF
the hospital would be discredit, an
everlasting disgrace to the City OF
New Orleans.
