WOMAN AND HOME. 'TffifP

THE DISCOURTESY OF THE PAIR SEX TOWARD EACH OTHER.

Learu to Lighten Labor-Training of Danglitcn-A IccoratIre Xorelty—The Domestic Money Qncatlon—Middle Mor-gans-Neighbor*—The Maby—Xotefc

However deferential and courteous women are in ilwir bearing toward men, they are far too apt to be rude to their own sex. Tbey indulge fn presumptions toward each other that men of their class would never think of inflicting upon men. This discourtesy of women toward their kind is none the lets rudeness and vulgarity because it is on nn nvcrnjjo of a small, whimsical, petulant type. It is not only evidence of imperfect breeding, but supreme, though unconscious, selfishness.

Tln'y give sea.:it heed to each other's rights. They push and jostle each other at theatre entrances on matinee days. They fill up that portion of a seat in a suburban train they do not occupy with parcels. If other females no lens Intrepid in absorbing the prerogatives of other* than they, but a little behind them in apiiearing. ask for the space to be cleared they gruinblo and scowl, adopting the most ungracious manner possible.

A sweet fared young woman, accompanied by nn old lady with white hair, slowly walked through a suburban enr the other afternoon. The young lndv paused wherever some well drawed woman sat with the evidences of her day's shopping beside her. Mot one made a motion of invitation to share her sent. Each woman looked intently down or in an opposite direction.

At last the young lady stopped before one wot nun whoso face indicated the possession of kindly nature. "Madam," Bhe said sweetly, "will you allow me to assist you in disposing of your packages, so that my mother can sit down beside youT

Tho amiability in the placid face of the woman addressed was dispelled as by magic at tho gently voiced request. "I want to keep my things together conveniently," was the ungracious reply.

Tho answer appeared to nettle the girl Into swift self assertion. She placed one band on tho seat and looked the speaker in the face with straight determination. "Did you pay two fares/" she inquired, "That has nothing to do with it. I hurried to catch the train, so that I could have plenty of room, and jicople who ore late have no right to couio disturbing those who have taken pains to get hero first." "Ah! 1 think I will have my mother sit down ro notwithstanding," was the cool answer, /is tho young lady piled the articles on the floor and as-tisteil her mother to the place they had occupied. "I shall speak to the conductor^" snapped the owner of the things. "It's a pretty how-de-do if ieoplo wh haven lot of packnges have got to divido their seats with others who have none,"

When the conductor came through the belligerent dame contented herself with merely glaring significantly on the girl, who stood leaning against the end of the car.

In shops where the customers and clerks are nearly all women the manners of both buyer and seller are frequently abominable toward each other. Tho women in suit departments wear an air of defensive indifference unless the customer they chance to have Is one well known to them and a good purchaser. Tho saleswomen ate accustomed to and expectant of rudeness on the part of the patron, aud prepare for it by the assumption of a manner no less objectionable than the one they resent

They ore the continual victims of the thoughtless selMshnesH and petty stings of their sex. Their patience ripped and frayed to threads overy day by the uncalled for demands of idle women who are not shop* porn, liecauso they seek the stores for amusement and not to buy.

The woman who has nothing to do is very apt to seek the ahojis for entertainment She does not stop to consider that her divertisement Is taken at the expense of a sister, and she forgets or does not know that the salesgirl Whom time she occupies in showing her gowns or wraps is not only hired to display garments, but to sell them. She is careless of the fact that if this young personV book at the week's end makes but a small showing in •ales, while her hours have been taken up in showing goods, her ability as a saleswoman Is doubted in consequence. She forgets that tho result is at tholiest not the increase Of salary the girl is hoping for. It is not only the possible but frequent result of her amusement that the girl is "laid off" or discharged for Incompetency.—Janet Dale in Chicago News.

Learn to Tour l.abors. American women are not, as rule, of as robust constitutions as those of other countries. Whether tho women themselves are to blame for this or the climate of tho country (that, by the war, is made to mother a good many ills she had no hand in nut king), it is hard to determine, but that the American won ion am not strong is an established fact You, then, knowing this, have no right whatever to abuse your constitution by excessive work whore there is no neccfitity for it Don't have white clothes for tho little one* to play in, hut if you do have litem, make them plain. Throw away ali tuefcs and re flics in every day wmr for yourself and children. Don't war lace or linen collars every day.

The Training of Daugbten. We say our sons have to use their heads they must be well trained. Housework is merely physical labor any girl of common sense can pick it up. This is where the mistake lies, and women are just beginning to realiza it Housekeeping, in the right sense of the word, is not mere physical labor. It requires as much "head work" to keep house successfully as to build a bouse successfully and yet we mothers send our daughters out into the business of life with no practical training whatever, and expect them to make and keep tlieir homes in a way that shall insure the largest amount of happiness to themselves and families! It is too much to ask a girl wit no experience to enter th profession of housekeeping and make a success of it.

How ofteu wo hear mother say: "I shall not put my daughter into the hard work she will come into it fast enough when she has a home of her own." That daughter looks upon housekeeping from her mother's standpoint—as a disagreeable duty to be shirked as long as possible. When she marries she makes a copy of her mother's "cook book," and starts out on the journey of life with no thought of delays and accidents by the way—for has she not her "cook book?" Nine times out of ten she comes home at the end of a year, tired of the whole affair, the freshness of her young ambition gone, her mind tii-ed with constant worryings over small things, and her physical strength exhausted by the many new demands upon it Could not that mother have saved her daughter many hours of unhappiness and discomfort by a judicious course of training and instruction?

Ibe housekeeper is the captain of a great ship, and she needs to underttaud it in every part to guide it successfully into the port of happiness. Housekeeping, rightly conducted and thoroughly understood, is a pleasure and a comfort to a woman. Women dislike it because they do not understand it. They do not look into it and see the poetry in all its little homely details. They are utterly unhappy if anything befalls the trusty servant and they are obliged for a few days to do their own work, and they are the very women who make most complaint of the scarcity aud general incompetence .of the average "hired girl." This is tho whole secret of tho "servant girl" question.—Good Housekeeping.

Latest Decoration Noteltj While in New York a few days since I took the opportunity to visit some of the leading decorative artists, just to learn what is the prettiest and newest thing out for the furnishing of rooms.

the office of The Art

Age I saw a whole room lined with what is called Russian crash or burlap. It can be had in New York, sixty-eight inches wide, for fifty cents a yartl. It is of a light pearl color, closely woven, and makes an admirablo background for any style or color of decorations. The room I saw was lined with this crash, a narrow fold of the same being put over the seams or where the edges joined. A frieze of the same ran around the top of the room. This had been hand painted in oils, and was fastened to the wall at its lower edge with large headed brass tacks.

The effect of the whole waf ^ery rich and fine. Such a tint and material makes a good natural background for pictures, especially engravings, to hang against Brown linen, such as dusters are made of, is now being much used to decorate rooms with. Flowers or a conventional design can be painted upou this cloth in fresco colors such as scene painters use. Any one can mix these colors, and with a little practice will soon be able to paint charmiug designs. A hail bedroom would be a good room to begin upon. Calling upon a celebrated physician in New York I found his library, above the bookcases, lined with deep red straw matting, tacked on with brass tacks. The effect was all that could be desired. Wall papers have had their day, unless they are very fine and artistic. No modem house of auy pretensions now tolerates wall i»per. A room may be very cheaply and beautifully decorated with stuffs of all kinds it only one will give the subject a little thought and go at it—Fuller Walker in Kansas City Journal.

One Sort of Neighbor.

There aro emergencies when it seems necessary to trouble a noighbor to lend the lacking convenience, but such occasions should be as rare as good management can make them. A loose habit of forgetting to keep one's kitchen supplied favors the practico of running Hcxt door or across the street to borrow a cup of sugar, an ounce of tea, a loaf of bread, a cake of soap, or whatever the need may be but such a practico stamps tho mistress of the house as a slovenly, improvident housekeeper, whose careless ways stand iu strenuous need of reform. Perhaps it is only thoughtlessness hi many cases that allows such ill management, and the fault when discovered will bo reformed. 'm

A kitchen slate, hung conspicuously on the wall, with pencil attached, will be a great factor in working a reform. Let the housekeeper write down each article as its want Is discovered, and let Iter also put down such thi-i as she finds herself nearly out of, not waiting to actually see the bottom of tho ba rel or box before ranking a note of their e»i ncss. Then teach whoever it is who visits the store to always study the slate bofore ,g out In this way, without much tmbi' i) any one, the foolish system of running out to borrow will pass oat of existence, and the neighbors with whom the friendly exchange* have been made will in time learn to feel backward about borrowing from those who never borrow from them.—Good Cheer.

How Mirgaret Drew the Line. Our pantry is next to our kitchen, where Margaret received the visits of her Mickey. One evening I went down to the pantry for something, and while there was an involuntary eavesdropper on poor Margaret. She had confided to ma only a few days before that, shortly after Lent, we would have to look out for anew girl, and we consequently received Mickey with more good will tbau before he declared his intentions, although we were sorry.to think we would lose Margaret On the evening in question Mickey was in the kitchen, where Margaret was finishing up her work. After tho rumble of a gridiron falling to the floor had subsided, I heard the following dialogue: "No, Mickey. No, you cannot" "Ah, Maggie. dear, gi' me one kiss from tbose sweet lips." "Mickey," replied Margaret, in a stern voice, "you muss own the bowl before you claim the sugar." I recommend Margaret's views to tho serious consideration of young ladies who are unable to decide what is the proper conduct for engaged couples without writing to the newspapers.—St. Louis PostDispatch. ^'i'

i'.i/^'The Society GlrL Society is not the place in which to preach woman's rights or temperance, and she who should undertake to set a dinner table by the ears, so to speak, with an expression of her deepest convictions, would be pretty certain to receive no second invitation. There are those who go so far as to say that the society girl should have no convictions but the conviction of her own acceptability. 8he may have interests, but no hobbies ct the same time she must not be shallow.

Money for the Mother.

If a mail counts a woman fit to be the mother of his children, it is little that Ehe should be fit to expend money for their rearing. JLl a man gentle and soft enough to come into tender contact with his little children he must be malleable enough to be shaped aright iu regard to the money that they and their mother require. Of course, if the man is over brutal and the woman over silly there must be di-aster, whether there be one purse or twenty, or none. There may well be women who have no sense about money, just as there are women who do not know how to bring up children. It is a defect of character. Such women area failure in proportion to their defects, and their defective work, it cannot be denied, is evil. Dut if both husband and wife are of the common type, honest, sincere, devoted and fairly sensible, a patient, continuous mid not unlovely process of consultation and conciliation and compromise will bring tbem eventually into a clear understanding of relative values.—Gail Hamilton in The Cosmopolitan.

ill, the girl

who ignorantly aspires to society puts clothes first and culture last, has moro or less contempt for everything but ber fallals. It is manner that carries the day, and good nature and kindliness, even in society—the art of making others happy, of amusing without apparent effort, of being invariably agreeable. Moods should not belong to a society girl if she would be a success the must allow herself to be bored with a smile, she must submit to disappointments with a bonmot, for society has its price like other worldly things.—Harper's Bazar. .,r

Abuse of the Baby.

It seems to me that we of middle age are liviug in a pretty good time, but the babies have the advantage of us after nlL This is a time of transitional period, and the men and women of thirty years hence are certain to have the bulge on us in a different way.

When I see a woman throw her baby in the air, making tho little cuss pale with fear, breathless, and as red and white as the American flag, I feel like breaking a commandment, saying cuss words and braining on the spot, yet they all do it

Did you ever think what a baby has to put up with? The father rumples its clothes and pitches it up to the ceiling. The mother hugs it and squeezes it uutil its little face is as red as a berry—and the nurse—well, the nurse, especially if she is fat and wheezy, sticks ber fingci-s in its mouth, runs her thumb down its throat and "tootsey wootseys" in its fm till the poor child must wish it was where it came from.— Joo Howard's Letter. -m

Always Tell Mother.#'.^

There is something that tugs at one's beart in the last words of the young woman in Sacramento who shot Patterson and then committed suicide with morphine. After being long in a stupor she rallied a moment and said to tho attendant: "Please don't tell mother." It was the final illumination of a path that was ending in gloom and disgrace. Made the victim of heartless* selfishness by the man she had killed, and going to her final account tarnished and forlorn, she was, after ali, the victim of uot telling mother. There is no way of estimating the sorrow and sin and suffering that would be avoided if the confidence of children continued through life to run to their mothers. Over the grave of this girl, dead untimely by ber own band, on which was tho blood of another, might be inscribed the epitaph: "Died in her youth, heart* broken, dishonored, a slr.yer, self slain, because she would not tell mother."—San Francisco Alta.

The child' never by any chance returns to the habit again, though his memory retains no trace of tho order or prohibition which operates so powerfully en his will.—New York Sun.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Suggestions from Trustworthy for ail Departments. The denims, both blue and brown, are regarded with much favor at present as susceptible of very artistic effects in furnishing and dvcorating the house. A very handsome pair of curtains is of brown denim, lined with ui11'leached canton flannel, finished at top und bottom with wide bands of golden brown plush and with leaves of the plush appliqued on to the body of tbe curtain with gold thread.

A pretty and inexpensive material for a crumb cloth may be found iu bluedeulm. The denim crumb cloth may be edged around witli broad strips of iscarlet striped ticting or made tip of alternate widt) strips of the blue denim and scarlet ticking.

The pine shelves supported with brackets, which are so common iu country houses, in lieu of the mor« «ex|ensive mantels, look very neat, when cov-r«d with biun or brown deuim and finished on the front edge with a fringe of some kind.

Many noveltie* hav« appeared in dress and walking shoes, and yet the rule is very strict one between tbos* to be worn on dress occasions and those appropriate for the street. Shoes a la Richelieu, Paysanne, etc., mn permissible only with elegant summer toilettes, while fine half high kid shoes with low square beels and luced in front, or buttoned boots of kid or cashmere galoshed with kid, are in best taste with a walking costume. Charming slippers in satin, silk or cashmere, embroidered with gold or silver thread, are worn with the elegant dressing gowns and matinees described today. Bronze kid slippers, cut out in bars in front and ornamented with steel buttons and a bow on the instep, are very suit

These pieces aro six inches long in the middle, five and one-quarter at the sides, and throo aud three-quarter inches wide bolo«\ Every two are red brown, dark olive, dark bluo green, and light gray. When the embroidery is finished the colors are arranged iu proper order, the edges put a little over each other and joined with sloping stitches. The embroidery is made with filoselle silk divided twice in three shades of wood brown, and gold thread ami tinsel thread shining like reddish gold. The middle of tho mat is filled up with a rt«ette worked iu long and leaf stitch. A loop fringe three-quarters of an inch Ide of wool the colors of the different divisions, and a gimp braid of red brown chenille and gold Lhread, trims the edge of the mut.
