Mr. Meredith was the first Englishman to recognize and proclaim that the Unit ed States must .inevitable become the predominant partner in the English speaking world. SHE CAN'T PLEASE ALL The Many Trials of the Girl Who Is Advised. There ore some women who never give their friends much anxiety. Whether or not they are any stronger physically than some of their sisters, people seem content to take them and their welfare pretty much for granted. . "Oh. to be in that favored class!" says the girl whose friends just love to worry about her. She is one of many. You know the type. They are, as a matter of fact, rather reckless in matters pertaining to their bealth. They are too busy doing other things, but they have the unfortunate falling of "looking frail." They are thin instead of stout, pale in stead of rosy, and when tired, their eyes have the strange, propensity of looking like the proverbial burnt boles in a blanket. By common consent it seems to have been agreed upon that they need tending and constant watching. 1 If a chance friend mets one of them on the street she would blush to miss tbe chance of recommending her pet cure-all. "I tell you what j-ou ought to lo," says the robust person. "You jnst get Into the habit of taking egg and wilty three times a day and you'll look like another person." The next time it is cod liver oil that is just what she needs, and again it'a horseback riding three times a week or massage that would do wonders for her. The solicitous Interest of a batch of friends would be trying enough to put up with If they didn't all insist upon proffering advice profusely. One cnt't be taking eggnogs and eating juicy steaks and lying down and taking walks In tbe fresh air all the, time. One hasn't time to attend to so many matters, and. besides, sometimes they conflict. "The waist you sent looks very well on me." v-rites one girl, "especially j when I 'stand up straight.' as Lucile is always thumping me on the back and commanding me to do. "I strut about looking very smart In my new blouse and very well pleased with myself and my straight, upstand ing position until, Jane comes along and admonishes me to relax. 'Child, relax. You must relax.' she chants solemnly. "It's really quite a problem to know what to do. for I'm strong on making them nil happy, but I can't be standing up straight and relaxing and throwing back my shoulders and lying down for a little rest all at the same time these dear 500 friends, if only one could please them all, but bow can it be done?" HOME HINTS. When ivory handles have turned yellow rub them with turpentine and it will restore their color. . To prevent wooden palls or tubs from shrinking when not in use paint them over with glycerine. Coarse salt sprinkled on the floor occasionally before sweeping is said to be a good preventive of moths. If the juice of a fruit pie runs out. try putting a small funnel of white paper in the center of the upper crust. Try washing the hands with a little sugar added to the soap. This greatly increases the cleansing power and will remove dirt and chemical stains in a wonderful manner. If when salt and flour bags are emptied you will put them In the clothes hamper to be washed and boiled out. you will always hare a supply of Jelly strainers. The salt bag is Just the thing for the odd glasses of jelly made all daring tbe season. It is a great mistake to use fine glass tumblers for lemon squash or othe- beverages which are required to be very highly Iced. If they are employed, however, the precaution should be observed of placing them to steep for some little time in cold water before filling them with the iced drink. Tea first became a general beverage among the wealthy in England in the year 1657. At that time It cost about 10 a pound.

Useful Present For the Friend Who Is Going to Travel. A most useful present to make for tbe friend who Is going to travel la the linen baa to bold bottles of medicine. Dull green, blue or. brown linen would be suitable for tbe bag, which has two rows of four pockets each. The lower pockets are deeper and hold the larger bottles. These are stitched

MEDICINE CASE. on by machine and have an oblong strip of the material for the bottom, so that the bottles set in nicely. A piece of tape is fastened to each pocket and also to the bag. which allows the pockets to set forward a little. The top of tbe bag has a casing through which is run a wooden rod. while tape is attached to each end to hang up the bag by, and the whole bag is bound with the same tape. The upper pockets are set in with small box plaits. ' LETTERS OF CONDOLENCE. Bo Brief and Try to Express Your Borrow Naturally. 'To tbe majority of persons there is 'to more difficult social duty than that of writing letters of condolence, and many shrink from It. Yet those who are in sorrow so greatly appreciate messages from tbsir friends that no effort to write such a note should bo considered too irksome. As a matter of fact, tbe writing of such letters should be no effort, for every word should be spontaneous, coming straight from tbe heart to comfort those afflicted. These letters differ in tone and in length according to the degree of Intimacy one has with the person to whom one is writing. To formal acquaintances the correct form is to send one's visiting card, on which one writes at the tc of tbe card "Deepest sympathy" or "Our deep sympathy for you and yours" wheu you wish to include their family and your own. Letters of condolence should always be written on white note paper with black ink. Tinted paper for this purpose is incorrect while colored inks for social usage are obsolete. When penning such a note write legibly, for the mind and tbe eyes of tbe reader will be under a great strain, and it is a kindness to avoid any possibility of taxing them. Try to express sorrow naturally, just ns you would talk, and do not endear or to say much, for a few rightly chosen words will adequately carry tbe feeling. It is usually most comforting to tbe bereaved to bear the lost one praised, so always try to put In your letter some tribute. Recall kindnesses done by the one now dead or any personal thing you can think of. and when you are writing of some one with whom possibly you bad not a personal acquaintance think of things you hare heard others say and quote them with sincerity, for they will be a comfort and help toward tbe consolation to which you are seeking to contribute. It is most thoughtful when writing to persons in affliction, after expressing one's sympathy, to offer one's services In any way that might be useful. There are often little things others can do for friends until the first shock passes and life resumes for them more normal conditions. In writing always make it evident that you are more than ready to do these acts: bnt. baring offered, do not press yourself upon tbem. for to do so would be tactless and Intrusive. Some persons are sensitive to tbe invasion of their privacy, so it is well uot to be overzealous in one's desire to help. Mrs. Fitks's Work For Animal. Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske finds time In all the activity of her stage duties to work for the cause of kindness to animals. Every year she sends a subscription to a humane society in Milan. Italy, and just now she is distributing pamphlets urging the better treatment of horses In lumber camps. She Is sending these pnmpblets throughout this country and Canada. She says horses in the ramps are practically without protection and that tbe lumbermen need instruction In caring for tbem. Tbe actress frequently distributes pamphlets on tbe humane treatment of animals to drivers of horses In the streets. She never fails to do this when she sees a man cruel to his horse, always carrying -a few pamphlets. A Wis Precaution. A wise teacher has taught her pupils to make paper cornucopias for drinking cups Instead of using tboee found tn public places. Folding paper drinking cups come in packages at very small prices and are a possibility not only for traveling, but for the shopper, who often goes thirsty through tbe morning er afternoon rather than drink from i cazs at Uxs Xoontaiaa. Poet Will you accept this pucui at your regular rates? Editor I guess so. It appears to contain nothing that might be objectionable. Go to the advertising department and ask there what the rates are.

Rules That Will Holp the Clubwoman to Preside. Don't misappropriate tbo funds of the clulx. That sounds most dreadfully harsh. It makes a noise like an absconding cashier. But that is not the Idea. It is not the don't for tbe one who dishonestly makes away tvlth the money. It ts a simple rule of parliamentary law aud business law that money should be used for the purposes designated in tbe constitution. These are the only legitimate uses for moneys raised by dues and assessments in federated bodies. For Instance, a body will after long deliberation tlx upon a certain amount for dues for its members. All of the uses for which this money is to be put will be careful. y gone tver. Tbe necessary traveling expenses perhaps of tbe officers are to be paid. No provisions are made for anything but tbe bare necessities of the organization. At some meeting an enthusiastic member, without any consideration of what are tbe legitimate and constitutional uses of that money, will jump to her feet and move that we donate fo0 for some altogether foreign purpose. The president, without a moment's hesitation and before tbe assembly has really sifted tbe matter, puts the motion, calls for remarks, which the careful and conservative ones are afraid to make, and tbe mo

tion is carried by default. There is no thought of bow many fifteen, twenty-five, thirty-five cent dues it is going to require to pay this sum. There is no thought that the organization Is going to be almost bankrupt. Tbe president, who Is the guardian of tbe law and constitution of her body, has not said: "This is unconstitutional. If you wish to divert our money Into this channel, you must first amend your constitution. It is clearly illegal. 1 must not let you do this." Tbe treasurer, tbe watch set over the money, should have demurred. But under tbe little excitement of doing some good work, of helping along a "cause." tbe funds have beeu misappropriated, and tbe organization suffers. And the blame lies with tbe presiding officer, who should be watchful for just sucb things. It is often tbe case that assessments for necessary expenses must be made simply because tbe funds constitutionally provided and 'collected for tbe purpose have been all used carelessly for other things. If you wish to branch out in donations, if you wish to make gifts ,to officers, see to it that your constitution has covered tbe point or els serve notice that you wish to do these things and have a little bigger sum for dues, stating what use is to be made pf the money in the amendment. If this were always done there would be more harmony In clubs and it would save tbe respect of organizations which have gone under just because tbe drain of assessments and dues are unbearable. GAME FOR YOUNGSTERS. Peanut Jab, the Funniest, NowOst Thing Out. A good game to start tbe ball a-roll-lng at a party would be peanut jab. As many dishes for water ate provided as there are couples. These are placed on small card tables. On tbe top of each dish of water a dozen , peanuts are set floating. Then each Individual is provided with a hatpin and tbe game Is called. The object Is to jab tbe nuts with tbe pin and land tbem in a pretty dlsb for this purpose without toucbiug tbem with tbe fingers. When time is called the couple that has been most successful retains the nuts In lieu of score cards. Tbe game is progressive, the successful contestants working toward the bead table. Prizes may be in keeping with the seasou. Among these are summer bonnets made of raffia to hang beside a dressing bureau and bold hatpins: fluffy ducklings, chlckeu powder puffs, white jack rabbits, egg cups and other little novelties. Among the old fashioned forfeits were the following: "Bow to tbe prettiest, kneel to the wittiest and kiss ibe one you love best." Recite a nursery rhyme with appro priate gestures and elocutionary ef fect. Recite the table of nine in tbe multiplication table backward. (If a ladyi Tie a gentleman's necktie. (If a man) Show in pantomime bow a woman does up her hair. Sit ro3s!eg?ed and with folded arms on the floor. Turkish fashion, and get up without unfolding the arms. Pose for your picture "Look pleasant, rloase." Hippyty-hop around the room, bowing to each lady as you pass. Name the presidents of tbe United States. Eat two dry crackers and Immediately sing a song. As to Art Stenciling. So easy the merest youngster can do It. yet not too simple to interest grownupsthat Is what it is. Simply lay tbe designs on the material, put on tbe colors, and there you are. And tbe best part of it all Is that tbe designs are really artistic pretty, even in tbelr crudeness. In fact, their very simplicity Is tbe chief cbarm. Use unbleached muslin, burlap, crash, whatever you choose. And you may make scarfs for tables, bureaus ct chiffoniers, hangings of all sorts fot summer homes, pillow covers or any cumber of pretty little articles. Yofi may procure whole sets to do tbe work or simply buy tbe design and your own colors. Filher way it b not rery expensive. -Now. boys." said the ' Sunday school teacher, "can any of you name the three great feasts of the Jew?" . "Tes'm. I can." replied on little fellow.. . ' ' .

Desire to attract attention probably Is just as strong amcng American women writers as It Is among their sisters In France, but In this republic they do not dare go to the length of wearing men's clothes, which bare been adopted recently by ambitious penwomen In France. Tbe law there being lenient, these literary lionesses are permitted to stride down the boulevards garbed In fur trousers. But in America this Is not possible, and w uuie a oi tellers must un ve recourse to other methods. An eccentric writer who bears a high sounding tlfte delights, when receiving guests, to wear diaphanous drapery and repose on a lounge. Sometimes she shuts her eves, and the guests may bare the pleasure of gazing on sleeping beauty. Society seems to have discarded freak performances only that "intellectual queens', may take tbem up. A pretty young . writer . in . Washington. , whose father has an official position, gives studio teas for tbe pet cats of ber friends, and the company spend hours ribbon to make a neck rntf for particular pussy. . Fatal Vacillation. Cultivate firmness of purpose. Without It though your talents are high and your opportunities wide, your life record will be "nothing done." Who Is tbe one among yonr friends who has arrived? Is It tbe show girl of school days, the glr who could do many things well, but rarely knew" what she wanted to do? Tbe successful one Is tbe girl of whom you can remember nothing save her pertinacity. No girl succeeds who does not set her mind along n certain line and stick to It though difficulties mount and temptations to turn aside are strong. . PONDEROUS PLODDERS.
