WOMAN AND HOME

THE PICTURESQUE ART OF ALWAYS I DRESSING PROPERLY.

Her One Fault—Peculiar Marie BMhfclrtselT— "A Simple Home Body*" American Girl Students Abroad—Choose

It requires something more than along parse and a fashionable milliner to enable one always to be dressed just as one ought to be. The best dressed woman is by 110 means always the one who is arrayed with the most splendor and costliness and to know how to dress according to the occasion is as much an art as to know how to dress at alL In one's own home to outdzess one's guests is a rudeness and an unJdndness the house, the equipage, the retinue, the entourage—the whole establishment,, is there to speak for one the personal attire can bo of the most modest. One certainly would never revive the singular French custom of receiving in one's night dress and in bed, an affectation of simplicity which was really an extravagance of luxury, since it served the pur-

of exhibiting a profusion of rich laces coverlet, cap and drees and general equipment, rivaling the spider's work, and worth a king's ransom for, apart from the indelicacy and impropriety af that fashion, it is not wise to assume any simplicity whose subterfuge can be seen through.

The dress that is not conspicuous with dazzling nor an object of envy, and yet fine enough to show respect for one's guests, is easily arranged by the woman who knows how to dress at alL But, on the other hand, an attire that is too modest is equally out of place on the guest, for it seems to assume that the entertainment is inferior the convives of no consequence. It is better for the guest to be overdressed than for the hostess—better for the guest than to be underdressed. She need not feel uncomfortable^* she has come in a dress outshining that of every one else present, adnce the worst that can be said of it is that she thought the occasion worthy of it.

But, in fact, the artist in dress will avoid either of these extremes, wearing nothing too rich or too poor, too fanciful and

tier One Fault,

Lucy Peters went to boardiug school with the determination to mako herself beloved by all of hor schoolmates, and teachers. Why should sho not succeod? She looked in the glass and saw a bright, sparkling faced girl, with a neat flgtiro aud quick, graceful motions. She know that she was Intelligent Rtid good tempo rod sho was confident that her judgment was better than that of most of her companions. Why should sho not become a favorite and leader Among them?

When she entered the classroom for the first time her eyes passed over her comrades with a friendly but keen scrutiny. "How that girl dawdles over her desk) Sho nevor has learned how to study. I must show her. Curls do not becomo that girl's face. When I know her 1 shall advise her to wear hor hair plain."

At the end of three years Lucy Peters returned home. Hor father came for hor, and listened to tho report of hor progress which tho principal laidbeforo him. "Your daughter has studied faithfully. She has stood usually at the head of her class," she mid coldly. "She is a girl of high prin,es.' 'You have found her affectionate and eager to ploaso?'' said Mr. Peters anxiously. "Yes."

But the praise was cold, and the teacher apparently was well pleased to take leave of her admirable pupil. Mr. Peters observed, too, tbftfcwher schoolmates showed no grief at parting with Lucy. "Have you no intimate friend whom you would like to visit you?" ho asked. "These girls appear to bo fond of oach other." "They are not food of me," said Lucy sadly.

Her homo was in California. She had not seen it for three years. Her mother and the other children received her with Joy and warm affectitn but at tho end of a week tho household was in a state of insurrection. Tho oldest boy complained loudy to his mother. "Sister Lucy won't let me alone. She said my cravats were ugly, and she did not want me to wtvtr them she calls ray friend Jim vulgar and insulted him, and she is lecturing me all day long.

The maids soon began to complain. "Miss Lucy found fault with everything .that was done. They could not stay to be bossed by her," and so it was all through the household.

A year or two later she married. A feeling of relief came over the household. Her husband was triumphant in the treasure be had won. "Poor fellow!" said her father as they drove away. "Lucy has but one fault, but how many women make wretched house holds with that oner-Youth's Companion.

Peculiar Marie Bastakirtiiett.

Her big ami big hearted Aunt Romanoff offended her part icularly. After Marie's illness took on so grave a form she would allow no one, nurse or otherwise. In her bedroom at night. Her aunt therefore made up her mind that she would not go to bed herself, and for weeks at a lime •very night she stretched herself put on a mat in front of Marie's door and spent the sight.

It was quite pathetic to think of thi* enormous, tender hearted woman stretched out on her back smoking cigarettes through the night hours and listening carefully to her beloved niece** breathing, ready at the least sound of coughing to go In and co«r her up under pretense ot hating herself just risen frota bed.

thetic, or too plain and coarse. Conspicuous dressing has been one of the disorders of the age and if the tailor made dress had not run into the region of costliness it would have wrought wonders for women of all grades. The jjcrfectly dressed woman causes no one to turn the head and glance at her, unless for her charming ensemble but if by any accident the glance i» arrested and fixed on her toilet then it Is scon to be faultless Only in the private depths of one's boudoir, where nono "but intimates have access, can any eccentricities of dress IKS indulged, and there one can cultivate the picturesque at one's own sweet will, if It is really worth while to give the Hubjuct so much attention. The chief thing to remember is that a stylo of dress becomes apart of one's own personality, of one's individualism, and one would always prefer that that should bo pleasing. —Harper's Bazar.

She walked in the water In her bare feet, trailed the tail of her nightgown in it, which got thoroughly wet, threw open all

Poor Aunt Bomanoff prayed and implored the wayward girl, but with no result. She was locked out of the room and left to weep on her piece of matting.—New York Sun. ,-•

Uses of Feminine Photographs.

Women should alwayB know the standing of the photographer to whom they entrust the negatives of their portraits. They should consider well his character Mid manner of doing business before permitting Lim to make a picture of them- The negative once in his possession (if he is so disposed) he has the means of causing them great mortification by using It for base purposes.

The head of some prominent woman is cut from her picture and pasted on the figure of some notorious woman in undesirable costume or position. This can be done so neatly as to defy detection. A few touches of India ink will conceal the places of joining, and it requires a magnifying glass to discover them.

The picture is then copied, and persons as unprincipled as the operator are ready to buy and show them as the picture of Mrs. or Miss as the case may be. These transactions are carried on apart from the ordinary work, and are not exposed for sale to the general public, btl\ the places where they are sold are known to the purchasers of such vile frauds.

One of the worst features of the case is the impossibility of knowing how many of these counterfeits are afloat in the community. The fear of detection has prevented this transaction from being done to any great extent, but it has been done, and as they are issued without the name or address of the publisher it is almost impossible to trace them to their source.-»-A. Bogardus in Ladies' Home Journal.

"She Is a Simple Home Body." Sometimes one hears it said of a good wife and mother that "she's a regular home body." The phrase is simple, but what a world of ennobling qualities it indicates, and what a universe of frivolities it excludes! The matronly home body is indeed "Heaven's best gift to man," and the husband capable of maltreating so true a helpmeet is only fit for such companionship as Nebuchadnezzar found in the Babylonish pastures.

Dashing ladies, whose mission it is to set tho fashions, won't you look in upon your gentle sister as she sits in her well ordered nursery making tho children happy with her presence? Note how she adjusts their little difficulties, and admonishes, encourages, instructs, amuses them, as tho case may require. Do you think any nursemaid could produce such harmony in that little circle? Is sho not an enchantress? Verily, yes, and her charm is "love stronger than death" for those sweet young faces, where you may see her smiles and frowns (though she seldom has occasion to frown) reflected in glee and sorrow, like sunlight and cloud shadow in a quiet pool. What sho is she will teach her daughters to be, and blessed are the sons that have such a mother.— New York ledger.

American Students Abroad. The news of tho young girl suicide in Berlin has let a little light into the ext raordinary privations aud hardships which many American students aro subjected to in tho German capital. Many young women there aro today struggling against odds which would discourage the most stalwart brothers in this country. The self sacrifice of a man who pursues an ambition is not for a moment to be measured with that of a woman.

American girls abroad have been known to live on .almost nothing, and literally starve even to a point of emaciation, so that they could remain in Europe and complete their course of instruction. Some statistics were once published on this subject by an American consulate which were full of tho pathos of privation and self denial. The unfortunate part of it is that the most distinguished instructors abroad are unanimous in the assertion that at least nine-tenths of the American girls who go to the other side ot the water to study could do fully as well if they remained at home. It is only one or two of tho geniuses who need the atmosphere and instruction of the great masters of th2 European cities,—New York World.

How to Live Well.

Lady Florence Dixie thus describes the tlfoof a certain woman she knows but does not name. "Since childhood," she says, "she has always been an early riser. Straight from her bed she plunges into a cold tub, and emerges therefrom warm and glowing she feels the blood coursing through her veins, and the rude health which a good circulation alw&ys engenders, That cold bath she never neglects summer or winter she welcomes it. Then before breakfast a sharp walk, or perhaps a quarter of a mile's quick run or a two q» mile course at slower paoe or a gallop across country on horseback. Any of these gives an appetite for breakfast. Later on she uses the dumbbells or Indian clubs, or frequents the gymnasium. In all athletic sports—rowing, riding, cricket, lawn tennis, etc.—she is at home, and some say is a first class hand."

Civilised Idtory.

I am not, as a rule, an advocate of capital punishment, but I never go down the poorly paved streets of a western town after a spring thaw without feeling that if I could only discover the wretched woman who first originated and secured the sanction of fashion to the long walking skirts now in vogue it would afford me genuine satisfaction to assist in the grim pleasantry of stretching her delicate limb* on the inquisitorial rack and watching her by slow torture expiate her crime. If there is any one sight under heaven where a sense of the ludicrous bonier* closest on Commiseration it is to see a crowd of fairt and floundering, bespattered, bedraggled, miserable women, plodding their weary way along muddy, miry, sloppy, dirty streets, dragging after them enough virgin soil to start a ki Miller Magazine.

Long white*Undxessed kid gloves are worn with full dress in the evening, and also by bridesmaids at day weddings, though light tan gloves are still worn, and indeed are most generally used, as white gloves make the hands look large.—Atlanta Constitution.

Bin. Pusa Stevens and Her Diamonds.

Mrs. Stevens' diamonds are regularly on the book of unfinished business at police headquarters. She not only has one of the most valuable collections of jewels in America, but she is the only society woman in New York who wears her diamonds at social entertainments without taking elaborate precautions for safety. When Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. As tor or Mrs. Bradley Martin decide to venture forth in all the glory of $100,000 worth of diamonds it involves a great deal of detaiL

A trusted agent must be sent to the safe deposit company the servantsare watched carefully while the diamonds are in the house, and there is more or less nervousness until the gewgaws are returned to the «afA deposit vaults the following morning at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Stevens is a rugged and impetuous lady, and she has an irascible intolerance of detail. Her really magnificent jewels are worn with the freedom of a Russian princess, and the result is a continuous series of mishaps, thefts and losses. Arjtnrding to the police at least two-thirds of the jewels that Mrs. Stevens misses from time to time are subsequently found by her in odd corners of her house, but ^here is enough of genuine thievery to keep the name of Stevens prominent among Inspector Byrnes' n\en.—New York World.

Wealthy Women.

A list of the twenty-seven wealthiest women in the United States is published, in which the first place is given to Mrs. Hettie Green, of New York, who is credited with a fortune of $40,000,000 in her own right Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett comes next with $20,000,000 Mrs. Terry, $20,000,000 Mrs. Mark Hopkins, $20,000,000 Mrs. Edwin Stevens,. $15,000,000 Mrs. John C. Green, $10,000,000 Mrs. Cyrus H. McCormick, of Chicago, $10,000,000 Mrs. John Jacob Astor, $8,000,000 Mrs. John Ray Barton, of Philadelphia, $7,000,000 Mrs. Thomas A. Scott, widow of the railroad president, $5,000,000 Mrs. William Armour, of Chicago, daughter of Silas Cobb, $5,000,000 while Mrs. Joseph Harrison, Mrs. Josephine Ayer, Mrs. Jane Brown, Mrs. W. E. Dodge and the daughters of Francis A. Drexel, of Philadelphia, are worth $4,000,000 each Mrs. Robert Goelet and Mrs. Jay pay taxes on $3,000,000 apiece. It remains, however, for Mrs. Terry's baby daughter, not over 3 years old, to distance all competitors with wealth in her own right valued at $50,000,000.

A Talented Musician.

Miss Augusta M. Lowell, organist of the Church of the Incarnation, at Harlem, N. Y., is considered the most distinguished organist of her sex in this country. She was born in California, and in childhood showed a genius for music which during the past six or seven years has been developed by a course of thorough instruction at New York. During this time she has pursued her studies for ten or fifteen hours daily, and has compos^ some notable and beautiful Bon :s and sonatas. Her success illustrates airesh that patient application and earnest effort form the only sure highway to eminence.—Exchange

Don't Bay Needless Clothes. People who we not willing to observe the simple rules which differentiate the usefulness of various sorts of dress should have only one kind. The woman who wears out her old reception gowns in the morning, or who allows herself to be seen in a neglige toilet after midday, should be denied tho luxury of either. But how common are both of these sins? The rise and downfall of the tea gown points amoral: Never buy clothes which you have no proper opportunity for wearing just because they are pretty.—Kate Field's Washington.

Mnrriod for Economy.

A peculiar marriage was quietly solemnized at aNew Haven, Conn., church on Saturday evening. The contracting parties were a widow, aged 40 years, and a young man, who will not be eligible to vote for several months. The bride did all the courting, and says that she married in order to have somo one she could trust to help her in the small notion store that she has kept for several years. Sh^says it is cheaper to get married than to pay a clerk.—Philadelphia Ijedger.

How to Flay Feathers.

Have all the players sit in a circle, with hands spread on the knees. Select one player to call out any object which has or has not feathers, as "chicken feathers, bird feathers, bed feathers, giraffe feathers, cow feathers," etc., raising his own hands every time. If the others raise their hands for anything without feathers a forfe't is to be paid. When the forfeits are collected they are sold as usual.—Cor. Springfield Homestead.

Mrs. Mary Millon, of Madison county, ivy., was the first woman in that state to be elected county superintendent of public schools, and her administration was so suocessful that at the recent election there was no candidate in the field against her. Her example had proved somewhat contagious, as there were at that election women candidates for that office in eleven counties in the state.

Mrs. Minerva K. Elliott has been appointed secretary oft he cml service examining board at Chicago, and is successfully conducting the business of her office, having found no difficulty in mastering the business principles necessary and the laws and rules pertaining to the position. She is the only woman in the United States holding a tike situation.

THE ART OF SWIMMING.

Women Are Natural Swimmers and Can Float Wlthoftt Any Practice.

An unusual amount of interest in the art of swimming is manifested among women. The majority of the bathers of the gentler sex consider swimming an accomplishment of no mean importance, and a great deal of time and money is devoted to attain some perfection in this admirable form of sport. It is easier for women Jo swim than for men. People who have had practical experience will, I am sure, agree with me in this. The build of women, with their light bones and general average plumpness, in nearly every instance enables them to float at the very outset. This is something that even men who are expert swimmers often find it impossible to do.

I have known many a slim, well trained and powerful athlete who could not float two minutes on the water, while there, were dozens of women all around him who only needed a little courage to enable them to lie as comfortably. on the water as though they were in hammocks. In learning to swim they need confidence and courage, and they do not possess these two requisites in the majority of instances, because the men in tho first place magnify tho dangers of the water, and in the second place they think it clover to indulge in the silly practice of mauling and ducking women until they implant a feeling of terror, which inevitably prevents any real progress in the direction of swimming.

I know an elderly yachtsman who has made swimming something of a study, and who is a convert to the belief—as are most men who have looked into the question carefully—that women are natural swim-tiers. There happened to be five women present one morning on a piazza at Seabright during tho talk of the old yachtsman. He wound up his harangue by saying that when they went into the water that afternoon he would prove by experiment that every one of the women could float in water over their heads. He went about the matter in a decidedly serious way, taking one girl after another, and he was successful in every instance. His method was peculiar and may be worth a line of description. In the first place he made the women close their eyes tight, so that they could not see him then he laid them along the water, supporting them first by a hand under the head, then afterward by a gentle pressure on the waist.

Gradually be took hiB hands away and held them up in the air so that everybody could see that the girls were floating without any help from him. Occasionally he would move off a yard or so, and leave the young woman floating serenely there under the impression that he was holding her up all the time. Of course if tho girl discovered that she was alone she straightway opened her mouth, gave a mighty yell, swallowed a lot of salt water and went plumb to the bottom. As long as she supposed that a big and sturdy swimmer was near her she floated with perfect success. After sho had once learned to float it was an easy matter for hor to swim on her back, and so what was looked upon as such a difficult thing to learn becomes easy ouce the trick is known.—Blakely Hall in Brooklyn Eagle.

Victoria'* Square Toed Shoes.

It is a pity that there are not more mothers guided by the queen's excellent example in the matter of square toed boots and shoes. Not only has her majesty persistently worn this shaped chassure all through her own life, but she Insists thAt' the royal children shall all be similarly shod. It is nothing short of absolute cruelty to imprison growing children's feet in the unnatural pointed toed instruments of torture that wo have so long permitted to remain the fashion, and there can be no doubt that the children of unthinking and fashionable mothers do suffer very greatly from this barbarous practice, but perhaps now the fact is made known that not one of the growing members of the royal family is ever seen in anything but sensibly shaped boots it may induce these foolish women to make their little ones comfortable now and save them from much suffering in after years.—Ladies' Pictorial.

Soudanese Women.

The Soudanese women area curiosity. Even here on their natural soil they seem almost to have stepped off the stage of a theatre, so unusual and overdrawn are their costumes. The hair is braided up into hundreds of little plaits, small as to be mere strings. These braids have been soaked in castor oil and rubbed with dust until in places they are perfectly solid. In the middle of the forehead dangle short strings of beads holding a fancy gold pendant, and in the nostrils a large ring. Around the neck are strings of onyx beads, as well as long strings of polished pebbles and amber interspersed with gay beads. Of bracelets there are several of coarse dark horn upon one arm upon the other the massive silverwork peculiar to the Soudan. They wear wrapped around them a Made shawl, and their feet am decorated with anklets.—Cor. New York Commercial Advertiser.

Women as Diners Oat.

Women as diners out are rarely sought after. At the conventional dinnerparty they are present in numbers equal to matching the men guests, but in selecting the couples the hostess usually asks her women for their beauty, chic, toilets, or becauBA they happen to be wives of the men she desires very seldom for any individual quality they possess as table ornaments—not more than one of the sex in five hundred ever being able to meet the requirements laid down for men. One reason for is their timidity in speaking or sustaining a conversation before an assemblage of people, and the other may be explained by their utter indifference to stories and anecdotes.

A joke or absurd incident that a man will roll under his tongue, laugh over and repeat for years will scarcely tickle the risibles of his wife. He thoroughly enjoys an audience who will listen to his talk, whether grave or gay, and he never hears a good thing said without storing it up for future use. The art which enables one to strengthen the current of \tit or wisdom set flowing round the table Is of a high order, and it seems a pity that, when every day sees the ranks of master spirits increasing, women should always be reckoned as non-conductors.—Illustrated Amer-

Woman'a Influence on Politics.

In the Kansas towns, says a recent writer on municipal corruption, women have taken an interest in muuicipal affairs, and some of them have been elected to city coundls. They scrutinize carefully the moral character of every man who presents himself as a candidate. Hit is not satisfactory it is useless for him to come before the nominating convention, for the women have delegates at the nominating convention, too. Tho result has been a revolution in municipal politics in these towns. The occupation of heeler, bummer, and the man who makes his living by politics is gone. Good order, tlean streets and first class schools appeal peculiarly to women.

A Royal Evening.

One of Queen Victoria's maids of honor, Lady Bloomfield, some years ago told the world how life passes at the court of St. James. It passes much the same as it does in the parlors of a brown stone front in Madison avenue. After dinner there is an evening to be spent, and tho queen spends it precisely as Madison avenue does. The queen, who at that time sang and played very well, took her place at the piano, played something from Mendelsshon, and then proposed a glee which was sung to her accompaniment. Others of tho company played and sang. Some of the ladies did fancy work. The conversation turned upon the topics of the day.—New York Ledger.

Tho Care of the Teeth.

Tooth brushes should be used gently to remove adherent food and the discolorations of the teeth, system and not vigor being the guidipg principle. Tho depressions of the molars should have attention, and a quill or wood toothpick should be employed to keep the interstices between the teeth clear and healthy. Lime water, the taste being disguised by tho addition of a small quantity of bruised licorice root, makes a good wash, but a simpler preparation is made by adding a few drops of aqua ammonia to a tumbler of water, or a half teaspoonful of'bicarbonate of soda may be used in place of the ammonia.

An

Eleetrlo Home tump.

A neat application of electricity to domestic uses is the miniature pumping plant. With the use of no more current than suffices for a couple of incandescent lamps it will pump 100 gallons an hour or so, and keep the house tank full without a particle of attention This will prove to be a great saving not only, but also insure the house from being without a water supply In case of fire. These little electrical devices to lighten labor in the household are particularly commendable, and as electric light and power become more widely available will doubtless increase in number and utility.—New York Journal.

Had Mrs. H. A. Gardner, of Vistula, Ind., lived two thousand years ago she would have been thought to be possessed by evil spirits. She was subject to nervous prostration, headaches, dizziness, backache, palpitation, and forty to fifty spasms a day. Though having been treated by eight physicians for years without success, she was permanently cured by one bottle of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine.

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is a new departure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For Instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach aad liver troubles only, was obtained and prepared. The treatmentof other physicians celebrated for curing catarib was procured, and so on till these incomparable cures now include disease of the longs, kidneys, female weakness, fheumaUsm, and nervous debility.

Thls newritethodof "one remedey fot^one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the 111 effects, and thoroughly realise the absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than sleohoi.
