MANNERS OF A WELL-BRED
GIRL.
:, {, {, :, {. o . . :. . . . . Q {
On entering and leaving the roo

On entering and leaving the room
young girl always permits an
older woman to precede her.
When introductions are under way
the youngest girl is the last to be
introduced She follows her mother,
never precedes her in advancing TO
greet her hostess.
A well-bred girl always rises when
an elderly woman enters the room.
The older woman precedes the
sirl on entering street car, car
riage, restaurant or theatre.
A young girl may ask young
man who has accompanied her home
from a neighbor's house to call upon
her in the near future, but she does
not stand al the door and chat with
him to show her appreciation of his
initial courtesy.
After dancing, the young girl does
not thank her partner She has con
ferred the favor and he thanks her.
Having been entertained in the
home of p girl or young man friend,
whether the company be large or
small, she does not leave the house
without seeking the mother of her
host or hostess and expressing APP
probation of the hospitality.
A seli-respecting young girl does
her in conversation on the street.
He should walk by her side until
their conversation is completed

WOMEN REWRITING
TO BARBARiSM.

The serious charge that the New
York girl is reyerting to barbarism,
with her growing fondness for a
painted face, and scantily draped
and gaudy costume, is being heard,
says a New York paper. A traveller
who has spent fifteen years in the
Philippines, says she is, and surely
the difference in the styles of fifteen
years ago and those CT today must
indeed strike him as wonderful,
though he describes them as awful,
The old time American gi1 is pass
ing" he says And if you would
see the type which the American
girl OF today is steadily approach
ing, you have but to observe the
savage tribe woman of the Moro
provinces. With her paint and pow
der and fancy colors she attracts
the wild men about her exactly as
the modern New York girl strives
to attract men to her Many Ameri-
cans who have been to the United
States on leave of absence are glad
TO return to Old Manila, where the
white women are ashamed to imi-
tate the sayages. Is there such a
difference between one dressed in
the height of modern fashion and
the toilet of the savage? They both

LIGHT RATES
To Be: FIXED
BY COUNCIL
PRICE Will BE LESS THAN FOR.
MERLY FOR STREET
ILLUMINATION

Electric light ana water rates are
10 be fixed by the council at its
meeting this evening. The rates
were informally considered last Mon
day night at d meeting of the coun-
ell, sitting as a committee of the
whole, but no conclusion was reached.
At the committee meeting last
Monday night. the Northern Com.
mercial Company, through its rep
reaentatiye, r. d. Menzie offered
streets next winter, for a period of
eight months
The first offer was to cut the
present flat rate of $567 month
10 $3.50. The second was to charge
tie same as last year, 1857 a month,
cut 10 permit the city to turn off
the lights on mooHit nights or any
other times so desired, a credit of
5i9 a day being given to the city for
such days a. electricity is not used.
The third was to put the lights on
q meter, to be provided by the city
and to be placed in the electric
plant Of the company. The council
will choose one of these plans at to-
nights meeting.
The various offers were consid-
cred in different angles. Some
counCilmeu expressed favor for the
flat rate, which would mean a say
ing compared with last year, of 1886
for the eight months that street
lights are used, while some seemed
favorable to the meter plan.
1t was explained by Mr. Menzie
that if the meter is used, the city
would have to stand the loss of the
electricity wasted on the lines be
tween the poWer-house and the lights,
which would be material, he said,
owing to the fact that the local
company manufactures direct cur
rent. Some of the councilmen be-
lieyed that a saving would be made
by installing tungsten lights, which
give twice as much light for the
electricity used as do the carbon
lights, though the tungsten lights
are more easily broken than are
the carbon, and the city would have
to pay for all the tungsten lights
used and broken.
1t was suggested that all the lights
r. lett off until the Indebtedness Of
the city is overcome, and it was
argued that when the snow comes
on the ground that it would be light
enough to do without lights each
night. Dan Callahan took decid-
ed stand against contracting for
lights until the city gets out of debt.

REVERSIBLE CURTAINS.

Washable window curtains may be
made to wear nearly twice as Ions
if both hens are of the same width,
so that it is not always the same
end of the curtain that is exposed
to sun, wind and dust
When the lower end becomes
soiled, while the top is still spot
less, the curtains may be taken from
the rod, busted and aired and after
pressing out the wrinkles, be re-
versed and placed upon rod and used
until again soiled at the bottom
This saves nearly half of the laund-
ering and consequently wear and
tear of the curtains.-Los Angeles

concerted action has been taken,
Al the very first suggestion of
3 playground for the children. the
public responded most generously.
4 tentative list was made of the
many things required and within a
week nearly everything was donat-
ed. When one considers that the
giving was all voluntary it shows
that there is general recognition
Of the need for public playground
under proper supervision.
Said one Of the club officers:
"A considerable proportion of the
population of Fairbanks has always
been more or less transient and
conversation used to hinge on, When
We go Outside again or When we
we're Outside last But since the
most Of US are beginning to realize
that we are now here to stay, We
wish 10 make Fairbanks a model
city and We naturally began to con
slider what outside advantages the
Fairbanks children might enjoy here,
A large spacious playground was
Immediately planned"
The Park commission offered an
excellent tract of fairly level ground,
situated to the left of the entrance
cate and behind the grand stand.
BY volunteer labor it has been put
into shape and will include two
tennis courts, two croquet grounds,
p basket ball court, climbing lad
der a sandpile and an eight-foot
slide. There was no necessity of
laying out ball diamond or a track

and from ten to sixteen. The girls
and boys over sixteen will have

later
At present arrangements have
been made TO handle the girls from
six to ten. under Mrs. Samuel Sea,
on Tuesday afternoons and again on
Friday afternoons, under Mrs. Lionel
4. Johnson, while the girls from ten
to sixteen. under Mrs. Cecil H. Clegg.
viii have Monday and Thursday
afternoons. These three women Will
be assisted by others, and those who
are willing to help are requested
to communicate with any member of
the Juvenile committee, viz: Mrs.

The boys of the town, under Harry
Badger, will meet Wednesday evenings
at seven. and also on Friday eve

I II. H. Lumpkin and Cecil H. Clegg.
AS far as can be ascertained, Fair

ground in all Alaska.
