WOMAN AND HOME.

SIGNIFICANT TRIFLES WHICH ARE OFTEN IMPORTANT.

Tor Whom Do Women Ire«s?—The Baby's Tongue—Between Schoolroom and AItar—A Sermon for Main ma—Type writer* and Matrimony. "I don't like her, James," said oid 3d[rs. Sharp, shaking her head. "She won't do, my sou." "What makes you say so?" Baid James. lie had returned from escorting his fiancee home, after a visit she had paid his mother. "Well, I cau see she is untidy and disorderly, and when a woman's that she's very apt to lie even something worse under the surface. A carelessly kept body and a carelessly kept soul usually go together." "Why, mother," returned the young man, both surprised and chagrined, "I'm sure Ainie is always prettily dressed, and looks well." "So she is but, James, slie is not neat. These are little things, I'll admit, but you know straws show the wind's direction. When she was here I noticed her breast pin was on awry, a button was missing from her, glove and, worse still, another from her boot. Her bonnet string was pinned on, and there was a grease spot on the front breadth of her skirt." James flushed angrily. "All were such little things, mother, you might have overlooked them, and you would, I believe, only you were anxious to find something wrong with her. Every one yon mentioned might have been the result of an accident."

His mother sighed, but answered good naturedly: "Maybe so, my dear—I won't say so #.ily you must pardon me if I say a woman, and especially a young girl, who has as yet no household cares, should never allow even accidents to present her in an untidy, careless garb to the world. A few minutes would have sufficed to put the missing buttons back, the breastpin on straight, to have tacked the bonnet string securely in, and to have taken out the grease spot."

The young man saw no flaw in the girl he loved, and married her eventually, but today liia iil kept home, with its thousand and one annoyances, keeps fresh and green in his memory his wise old mother's warning. Amie's little careless ways that were "accidents" have grown to be the grossest slovenliness, and a source of real trouble to herself and all her family.

The stitch that she failed to take in time has left the whole web of her life defective and with raveled ends the button gone from her boot has vexed her daily, and the grease spot in the front breadth has grown and multiplied. Poor JamesI It seemed a little thing to him that her bonnet string encircling her dimpled, rosy face was only pinned in, but now that the glamor of roxnanco and courtship has yielded to the stern reality of life he finds nothing little or insignificant about a hole in his pocket or a rent in his coat. And poor Amie! She weeps over James' unkind language, and wonders how ho can be so vexed over fcuch a trifle, but resolves to do better, only she does not even know how to go about reforming, for she has forgotten long since the very meaning of order and carefulness. —Sweet Briar in St. Louis G|Qbe-Demo crat.

For Whom Do Women JDres»? V.,

ious

The idea that ladies who lavish enormous sums annually in personal decorations dress to fascinate their husbands, lovers, or man iu tho aggregate is a vulgar error. A fasliionablo woman is not half as anx­

to win the admiration of the men as to provoke the envy of her own sex. The truth Is that geutlemen, as a rule, know very little about tho commercial value of fomale attire, and, except when they are called upon to pay the bills, care less.

An elegant and becoming toilet, however inexpensive, generally satisfies them. Not so our first family lielles and dashing dowagers. Cost is their standard of excellence in costume. And what consummate sumptuary critics they are! No tradesman is abetter judge of the articles in which ho deals than the lady of fashion is of all the articles her sisters wear. With a single sidelong glance, rapid, keen and searching, sho can "reckon up" the habiliments of a rival almost to a shilliug.

No pawnbroker,- however accustomed to gauge tho prioo of costly trumpery, could come nearer the mark. Imitation cashmeres, simulated lace and false jowelery do not deceive her for an instant. She sees through the cheat as easily as a banker detects a forged note, and sneers inwardly at tho vaiu attempt to cope with her genuine extravagance. Sho triumphs in the reflection that all her splendors are sterling, and that her "set," sharp eyed as herself, can distinguish between cheap fine lndyism and the ruinous grandeur it is intended to cope with as well as sho can.

But mote eyed man sees not the difference unless it is pointed out to him. It is not perfectly obvious, then, that the richly bedight goddesses of fashion dress to provoke envy iu each other rather than to command manly worship? Of course they like to be admired by men, bat to be envied by women is a supreme luxury.—London TitBits.

Tho Tongue.

During the process of dentition there is a aympnthet ie disturbance through the whole organism. Many times the nervous irritation causes a diarrhoea, but as long as the appetite continues and no indication of disease appears except frequent evacuations, such discharge from the bowels is salutary, being nature's effort to relieve the system of undue pressure.

Careful observation has shown me that very many times when children have had a teething diarrhoea suddenly checked ec*ema has resulted, which has made the baby an eyesore to mother and friends, and rendered life itself a burden to the little one.

One of the points to be considered very carefully, both in health and disease, is the condition of the child's tongue. In spite of the fact that a baby may acquire the habit of putting out its tongue unnecessarily when the mother would hare it look its best, it is wbe to teach it, at as early a period as possible, how to put the tongue out, and to open its mouth so as to expose the whole throat.-Dr. Julia Holmes Smith in New York Ledger.

lldirnti Schoolroom and Attar. When the girl enters the world after her education is "finished" she does not always find it what she expected. The schoolroom is one thing, the world another.

She may have be«n popular with her teachers. because ahe was a diligent scholar/ and carried off the honors of the schooL But she finds that book knowledge does not make her popular or successful sodally, &»ute of the most intellectual people I h&xt known have been among the most disagreeable, a woman whose intaBaotis aggressive, who parades her knowledge bo-

fore those of inferior intellect or education, Is an object to be dreaded. Mere learning in a woman is never attractive. It is, on the contrary, offensive, unless coupled with feminine graces. School learning should sink into the character and deportment, and only exhibit itself as the perfume of a flower is exhibited—in a subtle, najpeless tied unobtrusive manner.

A woman's knowledge of grammar should not make her talk like an orator in daily life—it should simply make her conversation gracious and agreeable.

Mathematics should render her mind clear and her judgments true her geographical studies should teach her that the world is too small for falseness to find a hiding place, and history should impress her that life is too short for unworthy ambitions.

The time between the schoolroom and the altar should be not a mere harvest time of pleasure, but a sowing time for all the ieeds of kindness and self sacrifice for others, and of unselfishness and benevolence, which alone can make her a successful wife and mother.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Ladies' Home Journal.

A Sermon for Mafiima.

Two young girls chatting. One had been telling of the "loveliest time" she had had at a ball. "Why weren't you there?" she said. "Because mamma would not let me go. And I think it is too bad. I am 18 years old and I never go anywhere. Mamma must think I don't know enough to behave myself. She hasn't any idea of it, but I am really better when I am out than when I am at home. I am proud of the fact that I am trusted enough to go out without the head of the family, and I act enough sight better than my oldest sister does. She goes all of the time and is going to be married in January. I tell you what it is, if I ever get married and have a girl of my own I will know just bow to bring her up. She shall go out aDd have a good time and know how to take care of herself. "I will let her see that I trust her, and I will teach her how to know the difference between right and wrong. Mamma don't know it, but the places she thinks it is all right aud safe for me to go to are just as full of temptation as the places she won't allow me to go. The only way for a mother to do is to teach a girl how to take care of herself, and then trust her and let her have a good time. A girl has got to have a good time, and I do get discouraged. I sometimes think I will marry the first fellow that asks me, just to get away from home."

There was a suspicion of tears in her eyes. Somehow I felt that a whole sermon had been expressed through her disappointment in not having attended that ball.—Chicago Herald.

Typewriters and Matrimony.

In all the emancipation movements, and the enlargement of woman's sphere, the matter of obtaining what is desired by indirection remains. Why was the typewriter invented It seems a most innocent Industrial advance and a new avenue for women. And now we hear that the typewriter is more likely to get married than any other industrial woman. It is one of the most promising of all the indirect ways of escaping from the monotony of single life. Thus, even in our enlarging Opportunities, we keep on in the old way. The object is still obtained by indirection.

It is no answer to this question whether women shall propose, to say that every woman cau get married who wishes to do

BO,

and that all history shows this. The real question is, is she free to marry according to her taste and inclination, and would she bo happier, in the majority of cases, if she could honorably approach those to whom sho is attracted, instead of waiting to be approached by those who are attracted to her?

It is not fair to leave this question hanging in the air without saying that there are old fashioned people of both sexes who think men and women are radically different, that if they were made alike the world would be a flat affair, and that, as human life is arranged, the pleasure of being wooed is quite equal to the pleasure of wooing.—Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's.

Iuflncnce of Example at Table.

I have seen children who found more sympathy and companionship with the servants than with their parents, and indeed I do not think that a kindly intercourse with tho good natured servants who love them does children any harm, especially children who are habitually with their parents. They should never be allowed to eat with servants or see servants eat, for the manners of the table seem to be the most striking mark of civilization or the absence of it, and the strange and unaccustomed thing is the one that the child will observe and copy. Sometimes one meal with an ill bred child or grown per son will undo months of training.in table manners. You will find your children, if they aro sympathetic with you, copying the use of your hands and lips at table just as they wili copy your tone of voice and your phraseology.

Sympathy, in fact, is the key to all education. Nothing is ever truly gained in any other way. People forget sometimes that they aro Educating their children to live in the world that to have elicited the obedience of a single moment, and to have fixed no principle in the mind of the child, and established no deeper confidence, is to have gained practically nothing.—Harper's Bazar.

A Learned Woman.

Mire

Faweett's astonishing success at

Cambridge has beaten the record, but in its way the career of Ada Naomi Thompson, formerly a scholar at Canonbury Board school, is almost equally brilliant. In 1881, at the age of 12* she won a Drapers' scholarship in the Islington high school. In 1S88 she passed the Oxford junior examination with honors. In 1884 she was in the first division in the botany examination of the science and art department, and In the same year gained the company's scholarship attached to the ac&ooL. In 1885 she passed the advanced botany examination and took honors in the Cambridge senior examinations. In she passed the* matriculation examination of London university, and gained a scholarship at Bedford college, also Lady Stanley's botany prise and the Somervilie prise for science. In 1887 she passed the intermediate science examination of London university. In 1888 she passed with distinction the te*chexs' examination in the University of Cambridge. Miss Thompson Is now an assistant mistress in the York High schooL—London Echo.

It becomes a fim rate photograph bolder, when pockets are fitted to the front. The lower one should be cat in two broad scallops from satis, lined with boll and.

placed diagonally above tho scalloped strip. A portion of the fan is left exposed above, which is gilded or tinted with paint. The fronts of the pockets can be painted. The handle is finished with a bow of ribbon. This is firmer, to line the back with thin cardboard, covered with satin. The pockets are joined to this by overstitch. The bottom of the lower pocket corresponds with the shape of the fan, the two scallops forming the ufrper portion.

By turning ihe palm leaf upside down and using the handle to hang it up by, it can be made into a pretty wall catchall, a silk pocket being made and gathered up and attached to tho sides of the fan. A strip of finm holland is stretched to the back of thei top gathers to keep the pocket open as far as desired. Brooklyn Eagle.

Dressings

for Oily Skins

Dry, fine skins, which never raise hairs, or even lanugo—that is, downy—surface, can use cold cream safely, and it will keep the skin fresh and smooth, in place of being withered. Where there is any tend ency to downiness and hairiness, as with thick, well nourished complexions, too, great care cannot be used what shall be put on the face or the hands. Thfe skin draws nutrition from the oils, and this thin layer of fat under the skin nourishes the lanugo dread of women. Oily skins should select the waxen dressings, or flaxseed meal, or cooked oatmeal applications which have something of varnish in their nature, under which the skin remains soft by it® own secretions.—Suirley Dare's List1 ter.

A Folding Screen.

Stain an old fashioned clothes horse labout 4 feet or 4 feet 6 inches) with cherry, or any color preferred. When dry give it three or four coats of varnish. When this Is in turn dry take unbleached cotton flannel and cut the size of each panel, allowing two or three inches to turn in. Cut of different colored felts the shape of flowers and animals, having as great a variety as pleases. Arrange them on the flannel in the comers of the panels so as to form a* large spray. Overhand each flower or animal with crewel of a contrasting color, working the veins and centers. Tack the flannel oft^the frame with brass headed nails.—New York Press. ...

A Young Looking Sculptor.

Harriet Hosrner, the sculptor, is^ a little woman who has not a mascuj^ne trait about her. It is forty years since she began the life work which has made her famous, but time has dealt kindly with her'. Her round face beams with a constant smile, and her bright, black eyes sparkle with good humor. Her brown hair is brushed smoothly back from her broad forehead and a black silk net holds it in place. She is usually attired in a neat costume of black silk and velvet, and wears a wide lace scarf about her throat.—Exchange.

A London Novelist. 'J-

Mrs. E. Lynn Linton, the novelist, lives in the Queen Anne mansions, overlooking St. James' park, London. Here she has charming rooms that are always bright with flowers, and here die receives a delightful circle of friends. Far from disclaiming her age, Mrs. Linton makes her boast of having lived in three reigns.— Writer.

Sometimes the sense of overmuch control is terribly vexing to a child. I would never refuse it anything without agood reason, and when refused was necessary would explain why. You cannot always tell how intense the desire is that prompts the request. You will find that to adopt this system is to have a reasonable child, who accepts your necessary refusal without complaint.

The origin of painting the face dates so far back as to be involved in obscurity. In all probability Eve did it. The Roman ladies used cosmetics of various kinds. Ovid gives several recipes. Pliny speaks of a vine used for the face, and Martial says that Fabula feared the rain because of the chfilk on her face.

Ar 1" ngli*h suggestion to serve pineapples at dinner is to take one out in a solid cone from the rind, which must be left intact. The fruit is then sliced and piled up in its natural shape, with rind and crown fitted on again. This method considerably simplifies the serving of the fruit. .ii 4

Miss Braddon, the English novelist, who in private life is Mrs. Maxwell, is described as a tall, dark, earnest looking woman, with peaked features and a complexion indicating long hours of work. She talks well, dresses expensively and wears costly jewels.

Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, the editor of Harper's Bazar, is a tall, well formed woman, with pink cheeks and snow white hair. She is a hard worker, but there is no trace in her pleasant countenance of the worry that sometimes comes from literary work*

The Empress Eugenie's wedding present to Miss Beckwith was a handsomely embossed silver bowl. The fair American bride was a great favorite with the French empress during the closing days of the Empire, when she was one of the belles of Paris.

Lady Willie, mother of Oscar Wilde, is remarkable for her beauty, brilliancy of conversation and accomplishments. She speaks half a down languages, has cordial manners, excellent sense and a great social following.

:THE OLD KITCHEN. I

T*r back in my youth my thoughts have been

cast,

To the house •where the hours of my childhood were passed. I loved all its rooms to the pantry and hall, Bjit that blessed old kitcliea was dearer than all. Its chairs and its table, none brighter could be, And ail its surroundings wero sacred to me. To the nail in the ceiling-, tho !atch on the door. And I loved every crack in the old kitchen floor.

The grand old fireplace with its mouth high and wide, rhe oltl fashioned oven that stood by- its side, Out of which so often came pudding and pies rhat fairly bewildered and dazzled our eyes. 4nd then, too, St. Nicholas, slyly and etill, 2ame down every Christmas our stockings to filL But the dearest of memories I've laid up in store. Is the mother who trod on the old kitchen floor.

Day in anil day out, from morning till night. Her footsteps were busy, her heart always light. For it seemed to mo then she knew not a care, The smile was so gentle l:cr face used to wear. I remember so plainly what joy filled our eyes When she told us the stories that children so prize. They were new every ui.^ht, though we'd heard them beforo From her lips a. the wheel oa the old kitchen floor.

To-night those o:d visions come back at their will. But the wheel and its music forever are still. The band is broken, the wheel laid away, S1 And the fingers that turned it he in the cold clay. The hearthstone sacred is»jusc as 'twas then, And the voices of children rinj: out there again. The sun through th'ts window looks in as of yore. But strange feet are now heard on the old kitchen floor. —Housekeeper.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Some of the Many Industries Which Men Have Taken Away from Women. The whole female sex have been deprived of the employments by which they once earned money, and they are simply compelled to crowd into the poorest paid places now claimed by men. A hundred years ago men would have scorned to do the bakiug, and the brewing, find the candle making for communities. It was the work tvhich women had done from time immemorial, and as it was haivl work they were cheerfully allowed to have the sole right.to it. In our grandmothers' day women were the butter and cheese makers of the world, they were the jam and pickle and candy makers too, and the spinning, and the weaving, and the dyeing were done by them.

The men would have resented iany prophecy that they would take all these industries from women, but they have. The butter and cheese making of this country, and of all countries, remained in women's hands until machinery was invented, and then the work became important enough for men to undertake it. What man would have used the spindle and the distaff? Now he cheerfully spins and weaves by machinery and calls himself a manufacturer.

Women were once the stocking knitters of the world, and the industry supported thousands now knitting is a lost art, while machinery turns out the hosiery of civilized countries. It is civilization that has caused women to-be helpless and dependent, and, wherejto strain is greatest, to be desperate. What wonder is it that they clamor for the places held by men when men have taken their employment away from them? How long ago has it been since women mblded all the candles used?

How many decades since they were the exclusive lace makers and embroiderers? Now men are lace Manufacturers, and women are- robbed of their best means of livelihood. Women once did all the work of dry salters, of perfume making, of a dozen other callings now closed to them. A hundred years ago women were the only nnrses and midwives in the world, and men have crowded them out of these peculiarly feminine employments, and which they have not filled as satisfactorily.— Laura C. Hollo way in Drake's Magazine.

A Queen Sets the Fashions.

Marie Antoinette had as much influence upon the fashibns of her time as any woman who ever lived. When she entered Paris in 1779 she waved her hand to a milliner—one Mlle.|Bertin—who made heriortune by it. This queen was one day making her toilet, when she discovered some peacock's feathers which had been placed on her dressing table by accident. Mechaqicaily she picked one up and put it in her hair. The effect was so pleasing that she added another. She called for more, and on leaving her dressing room astonished every one by the originality of her head dress. The king admired, all Europe applauded, and thus the custom of wearing feathers spread.

In 1775 she was one day dressed in a material of brown lustring, when the king observed, in a happy moment, that it looked to him like fleas. Immediately the color of fleas became fashionable, and such was the rage that the different shades between old and j'pung fleas were separated, and the whole gamut of 43eadom was run. Finally the vendors of silks presented anew set- of samples to the queen, of a gray color, and the king this time remarked of one that it was the color of the queen's hair. This color quickly superseded all others, and in order to get the exact shade some of her majesty's hair was obtained through bribery and sent to Gobelins, Lyons and other places where the silks were made.—Cloak and Suit Review. "S

Advancement of Woman in 100 Years.

If any creature on earth has reason for exultant, tearful, heavenward rising thankfulness it is the modern woman. Never in all the world's history has she been so free from burdens, so exalted in privileges as today. The Nineteenth century is the era of her coronation. Today she stands queen of herself and of the world. In the palmiest days of the "good old times" the only woman who was allowed any privileges or culture was the courtesan. The wife's home was a prison, and her hands alone were of value.

Whether or not she had any brains she was not permitted to discover and this has held substantially true the world over, until within the .last one hundred years and the most convincing proof of this is the character of the books of the best society. You would not dare to read akmcf in mixed society any book of the last century. Books were not made for women and so whether they were decent or not was a small consideration.

Even the old preachers indulged in coarseness of language that would not now be permitted in a political hnnuigui*. Some of Martin Lather's sermons could not be read in a modern school. Swearing in the drawing room ai»d in the "best society" wan no uncommon thing ninety yeaes ago. Even the ladies themselves not rasely indulged in it.—Minot J. Savage ia Arena.

Z- Vanity of Elderly Women.

A street car incident which has come to an eastern exchange seems to illustrate the unconsciousness of apparent age. An old lady *n entering a crowded tram caught th** strap, and by chance took her stand directly in front of a lady passenger apparently as old as herself.

Tho .possessor of the scat was up in a tuoment, "Have my seat, madam," she exclaimed, with audible courtesy. "Yoa are older than I am." "Older than you," retorted tho other. "I beg a thousand pardons for contradicting my elder, but indeed. mad:un, you are mistaken. Keep your seat." "But I am suro you are older than I." "And I am equally sure that I am notWill you be good enough to resume your place?" "Not while an older woman stands."

The situation was growing interesting. But though till "smiled no one seemed moved to relieve matters by offering a second seat.

Both old persons were pretty well warmed up by this time. First one sniffed, then the other, as old ladies sometimes will when sorely tried.

The vacant seat was still before them. Finally an overture of peace came from the owner of the seat, the last speaker. "I don't want to be disagreeable, madam, and if I'm older than you I'll sit down. Let's tell our ages, and the older yields."

The aggrieved woman did not relish this much, but tho pressure of an audieuce forbade a retreat. "Well, madam," she replied, forcing the semblance of a smile,

The Orange Party.

Some years ago I was asked to arrange an entertainment for asocial gathering of young people. '".Give us something novel," said the hostess. "We are tired of old things." "How would an orange party do?'v I asked. "A party where the young ladies aro expected to wear orange dresses and the young men orange neckties?" "Yes, and more than that the refreshments are to consist of oranges of all kinds, and served in many different ways. The cake is to be" "Orange cake." "Yes, and the lemonade" "Orangeade." "Yes, and the icecreams" "Orange." "And the invitations are to be" "Written on orange paper." "And the shades of the gaslights" "I see it all, and like the idea." "But I would make the party educational by having a short lecture on the different varieties of the orange as they are served. Then I would have music on the banjo, if it is possible to get it, by a minstrel from the south. Heal log cabin music, such as is played under the orange and grape fruit trees."

The party was successful. I sent south for Spanish moss, orange blossoms and several new varieties of Florida oranges, and secured some fine navel oranges from California. We had an abnndance of grape fruit, and, if I failed as a lecturer, the negro did not fail to make himself delightful with his banjo and songs.

We had read a poem to the orange tree, and all sang "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" and "My Old Kentucky Home," and "The Mocking Bird" to the banjo, after which we had Spanish music on the guitar.—H. Butterworth in Youth's Companion.

Height of Cruelty.

Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy they deserve. While often the pictures of health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold sympathy from these unfoitunates is the height of cruelty.
