WOMAN AND HOME,

SOME EXAMPLES SHOWING HOW TO UTILIZE TALENTS.

SJeatK That Are Dangerous—-Domestic Llfo VIn Per Mia—A Bain's Influence—As to

Room—Parlor Con versatian—The

Value uZ tan. |P

This is certainly the day of utilizing one's talent, whatever It may be. A woumn who lives In another city found herself, after 20 years of happy sheltered married life, a v. idow with two daughters,* 16 and 18, to make a home for, and anipcomo so small as to be scarcely worth mentioning. The elder daughter was delicate, and the younger had-two years of-her college course to complete. To meet the crisis and.tide over an .interval which would give one child health and the other education confronted the mother. For a time sbc saw no way to pursue. Then a clear headed friend came to her one day for a talk over affairs. "Now, Isabel," she began, "I know your liabilities, what are your assets? I mean besides your little income. .What can you do absolutely well?" '•I've a general knowledge of many things," was Isabel's discouraged reply, "but the only thing I can do absolutely well," and her laugh was mirthless, "is to iim$3 over old clothes. You know I've always had a grcataptitudo at that for the girlH and myself," "To bo sure you have, and I believe you can do that now," carao the prompt answer to astonish Isabel.

Further talks followed, and in the end the friend persuaded her companion that something could be done with this talent. The beginning that spring was small and merely among her circlo of wealthy friends. She did not actually make over the old clothes, but spent a morning or a day with the family seamstress, carefully Inspecting accumulated materials and suggesting designs and combinations which peni titted the continued use of dresses and fabrics. She charged by the day, and her rate was not low, but she saved it often a dozen times over to her patrons. Tho autumn saw her clientele increased, and now, after threo years, she is busy nine months of tho year at good prices.

Before other women embark in tho samo occupation it must bo understood that this woman has littlo short of. genius for her unlquo calling. It is a positive pleasure to see her at her praetico, for she jocosely Btyles herself doctor of .robes, and certainly her skill and deftness are closely allied to tho surgoon who llts and rostoros humanity's broken bonos and misplaced anatomy. 8ho is shown a flno Paris dress bodico of black satin, whoso sleeves havo vanished, aim of whoso skirt is left a singlo straight broadth. She looks them over critically. "Havo you any velvot or figured heavy Bilk or silk and wool oloth or any hand-

Bome

block novolty material?" she asks. A piece of frlso velvet Is found which will do for full sloevo tops with some other cuffs and lcavo two or three straight pieeos. Then tho odds and ends trimming box Is looked over, and a few detached jet ornamonts and some black laee aro found. Tho waist Is flttod, the long postilion back carofullyopenod and pressed and loft to hang. The pioooe of the frlse velvet aro •et on for skirt fronts and hip pieces joined by jars of tho black satin skirt breadth: Tho jet ornaments are put on the waist and at critical points on the hip skirts. Puffs of looo laid over white silk and a collar to match are made, and the ond is a costume jackot of lmportod ologanoe that looks as if it might havo oost 160 and did oost not a ponny beyond tho seamstress' ttmo and the designer's suggestion, as the blaok silk lining in this ease was produood from a dlsoardod coat.

If something extra is needed, sho oan torft to the shade, quality and fraction of measurement what it must bo. And her customers aro no longer oonfinod to tho wealthy. Persons in modorato ciroumstanecs realise that their need of her is quite as great. Did spaoe permit tho recital of heT many triumphs in evolving a Worth gown from tho family ragbag would bo most Interesting. Her work is carrlcd on quietly, her patrons advertising her from one to anothor, and her excellent soolal position, which has undoubtedly muoh aided her, has never boon in tho least impaired.—Now York Times.

Meats That Are D*nc«roui.

Animal foods aro not genorally oonduolvo to good oolor or a flno oomploxlon. Milk, eggs, buttor and oheese aro exception!*.

Moat onoe a day is a sufficiency for all children, and for all women who prefer the spiritual to tho sonsual typo of beauty. The school of vegetarians may not bo famous for its Venuses and Apollos, but it is not a largo contributor to tho freak museums.

Many meats are positively dangerous. For instance, only plant constitutions havo tho muscular ability to digest fresh pork. Undigested it is a fruitful source of dyspepsia, tuberculosis, scrofula, gastric fever, nervousness, and, in fact, all the dlsesvses resulting from inflammation of the gastric system. Fresh pork is not a safe food for any woman to eat unless she runs a ranch, a steamboat, a farm or is engaged in some equally active pursuit necessitating outdoor life and muscular exertion. Kvetv ham and bacon of tho choicest "cure" need the purification of fire. Veal another bad meat unless cooked to shreds, and rare mutton Is under suspicion,

While beef Is the most nutritious of meats properly served, it is often so badly served as to uselessly tax the digestive organs. Muoh of the hash Is no better than •tewed brown paper, and the fried steak and corned beef of the average home dinner would do the consumer far more good in the garbage box. Foods that ALU the stomach and foods that teed or nourish It «ro not the same. The value of the meat Is in the jNiiee, and nothing else counts. That Is why the trained nursery maids who get 180 a month to keep Infant heirs of complicated estate# from dying, and •o annulling legal documents, never allow the tots to swallow a morsel of coarse meat, as beet and mutton ate called. Then* Is more nutriment In a piece of broiled steak the site of spool of thread than In afire pound piece of pickled and cmokod boef.—-New York letter.

Ommtie Uft In IVnta.

Whatever society each awt enjoys must be exclusively with uw^nvbors of its own sex* Women may give en{ertalnmerits or visit. Men may do the

sjuuo.

But on all

such occasion* only one sex Is repteeented. The interchange of visit* among Perladk« is attended by an etiquettestmliar to that prwtieed by the men, with •omwhat mom attention perhaps to serving and urging the guest to sot fruit* and eoofoctiotKsy. But* sococpi among

women of the highest rank, who have private baths attached to their jesidenoee, the most Important social fiy&>r amobg Persian women is tie public batbf^THWtff

they assemble witS their children, and after bathing and having their longtredg* dyed with henna and plaited In l«ftgbraids, which are good for several dta^, they gather in groups, making the exjqiisite embroidery for which they are famoosj ant}, exchanging -thjS gossip of th& neigji-: borlfood. Thus' tbfey plan the m&wriages of their children, retail the news tbej^ have had from their husbands and learn what Is going on in the world, adding to the means which they possess in no less degree than their European sisters for influencing the male members of their households and swaying the affairs of the nation.

They who think that the seclusion of •oriental women results li diminution of their influences labor under a great mistake. If anything, this seclnsion sharpens their wits and quickens their talent for intrigue and the execution of deep laid designs, and the men are like putty in their hands. Occasionally a Persian husband) In* a sudden'paroxysm of rage or restive under petticoat rule, may temporarily rebel and vigorously assert himself, but he is soon reduced to subjection again, and fair woman resumes her sway. Half the oivil wars of Persia have been due to the women.—Christian Register,

A Baby's Inflaenee. J,*

A pretty story is told of a baby's influence over fallen women in a Russian jail. The jailer was Colonel V., and he and his wife had just arrived to take charge of a large prison in one of the central provinces. The colonel was a terrible disciplinarian, but a kind enough man In his way. His wife was a gentle little enthusiast, who had mode up her mind to. reform all the women prisoners. This particular jail had a vory bad reputation, and tho women especially were often in mutiny. Colonel V. got along famously with the men, but the women were too much for him, and he meditated flogging and all sorts of terrible measures.

Onoe Mme. V. took a walk through the prison yard when the women were exercising. Behind her walked a nurse, with her baby. The prisoners, as soon as they got sight of the baby, flocked around, and Mmo. Y., at first fearing violence, was relieved to see that only babyolatry was tho matter. First ono and then another of tho women begged to hold tho child a moment. Some laughed with joy, and many shed tears.

Mmo. V. had a happy thought, and

It Is astonishing how rarely you find yourself going from room to room empty handed if you obeervo this rule, and how many steps you save somebody who needs to have steps saved. -—New York Commercial.

Parlor Conversation.

Mme. doGlrardin has given In a humorous way very good recipes for conversation: "First of all, tho quality of the talkers secondly, the harmony of their minds, and, thirdly, a propitious arrangement of tho furniture. An amusing conversation," sho says, "cannot start if the clmirs are arranged symmetrically. The disposition of a drawing room must bo like that of an English garden—apparent disorder, which is not tho effect of chance, but, on the contrary, of consummate art, the result of fortunate combinations. In a symmetrically furnished drawing room It is only at the end of the evening, when tho furniture has against its will yielded to the necessities of society, that enjoyment begins. You just begin to amuse yourself when it becomes neoessary to take leave. "And remember," she adds, "that good talkers hate idleness the most witty men hardly know what to say when they ceremoniously hold their hats In their hands. They must have some valuable thing to finger and help them keep countenance— dainty scissors or penknife,a golden chain, a jeweled smelling bottle. The more you scatter trifles and baubles in your salon the loss nonsense there will be In conversation. But before anything," she recommends, "let yourself go. Do not think of yourself. Forget the talent you may have."-—Century.

The Valuo of a Fan.

"When we were children," remarked a delightful old lady, who carrlcd her TO years with aristocrats grace, "'the little girls were always taught to oarry a fen when they went into the drawing room. •Always carry your fan, my dear,' waamy mother's last Injunction when I went out. 'It will keep you from feeling awkward and looking conscious/ and I have often thought what an excellent fashion It was and what a pity It is that the Importance of the fan had greatly decreased. In my day to manage a fan properly was consid eml a distinct accomplishment To unfurl it slowly and majestically a Juno might, to flutter It vivaciously, to wave It languidly, to open and «hut It meditatively—all this we were aqpeefMl to learn by Instinct and observation. *WIU» a fan you need t»t%r look in at ea**a* another of my mother's maxims, and we girls quickly found rat the truth of this for ourselves, and I tell my granddaughter* that they goodly

spoke ft out. "The best conducted woman of you all at tho end of the week will be allowed to tend tho baby forhalf an hour." Never was ft change so instantaneously wrought. Tho women became amenable to every word of the warders, and at the week's end it was with the utmost difficulty that Mme. V. could decide, among so many well conducted prisoners, which had the best claim to the promised reward. The baby's visits wero afterward frequent, and tho women's wards were completely reformed.

As to Untidy Rooms/

Many of us know the girl who, hastening to olass or lecture, leaves at home an untidled room, open lidded boxes, bureau suggestive of compressed earthquake, bookcase doors swinging in imminent risk of demolition, who litters halls and vestibule with discarded gloves and crumpled memoranda, whose belongings are distributed indiscriminately through every room, regardless of ownership. Sho evidently

self for tho prospective service? Many of us know the patient mother, who moves along In the track of this household hurricane to remove the debris, roarrange the surroundings, olose a box, smooth a glove, clear stand and table of encumbrances and make fast the door that endangers the preoious volumes it is supposed to guard as well as tho physical safety of some junior member of tho family. 1 like to toll young Jpeople of a simple rule that my mother enforced, the helpfulness of whioh It took me years to realise, "Nover leave a room without noticing whether there Is not something there whioh bolongs or is likely to be needed in another part of the house and will evontually havo to be carried there."

The Bicyele For Women. of the hi

The use of the bicycle by gHs and women, says Dr. E. J. Senn of 'Chicago, will be a great factor In keeping American womanhood from physical degeneration. Bicycle ridlng-qpmblnee both pleasure and exercisd,and. the female sex Is not natural-

Inclined to Indulge in exercise wlthout a corresponding amount of pleasure hence the success of the bicycle as a health produoer. As a general rule, the bicycle is most used by the class of people who need it least—that! is, the middle class of the female sex, who usually have ample exercise, without bicycle riding. It Is the wealthy woman, surrounded by luxuries,' who should give up her victoria and substitute the wheel, at least for an hour or two each day, and then we would more nearly approach the ideal Greek woman of old than the weakling of today.

Hints About the Corset. Si

Now, if a corset is laced every time it Is put on, it will give the best satisfaction. The corset must adapt Itself to the waist for fit and form. The house dresses are always looser than any' other, and corresponding ease in the corset Is conducivo to comfort and appearance. Said a skillful woman who only makes corsets for private customers: "When the trim street suit or the smart evening dress is put on, it is the work of a moment to draw the laces tight at the belt and loose top and bottom for a small waist, ftill hips and fuller bust, and tie them in front, with the knot under the skirt hook. This is the way the French demoiselles get their exquisite figures.Paris Letter.

i' &MIB8 Fashion,

Tho very word "fashion" was the name of an English dressmaker of the last century who was quite as celebrated in her day as Worth has been in ours. Miss Fashion lived In Hanover square, London, a square noted then as now for its court dressmakers: Miss Fashion, on acoount of her celebrity, was soon called only FashIon, much as the great Parisian authority is with us called only Worth, not Mr. Worth. Miss Fashion's taste, skill and reputation were so,great that every dress of taste and elegance was called fashion. "That's FasLion" meant the ne plus ultra of taste. From "Fashion" to "the fashIon" the step was short.

Wall Dressing!

A bare wall is better than one blotched with daubs. Many pictures that hang in family parlors would look well in the wood shed. Unless a portrait has artistic merit or exquisite beauty it should be hung in tho hall or private room.. Faces "lost to sight, to memory dear," are too sacred to be gazed at by the Belfish, critical crowd. It is good judgment to hang marine, aquatio and field pieces low. Oceans, rivers and meadows are seldom seen above ground. One fine engraving or good etohing is more to be prized than four square miles of gilded, paint spattered canvas.

Singing as a Prophylactic.

Dr. Rush used to affirm that one reason why the German nation were so little predisposed to consumption was because they were so musical a race. He oontended that there is nothing better for warding off possible disease of the lungs than the exercise of singing. With this in mind it may be well for parents of little ones who seem far from strong In this direction to Insist upon the cultivation of their voices, regardless of any particular talent for singing. It will not only be a possible accomplishment, but it may be a preventive of future disaster.

Pose of the Feet.

What to do with one's hands has been oonsidered a sort of test of ease of manner, but foot otiquette is nowadays a distinctly recognized toplo of the physical culturlst's curriculum. Crossed feet are not only Inelegant, but weaken the ankles. Tip tilted feet are Indiscreet, and toes or heels twisted upon chair rungs are not to bo tolerated. Straight on the ground, well beneath the shadow of the skirt and in an easy natural position, is the pose for feet that are not In walking me. •_ A Vandertollt Parlor. „J

A delightful room in Mrs. William H. Yanderbilt's great mansion Is the Japanese parlor. The celling Is of bamboo, ploked out with red, green and yellow lacquer work. A low toned tapestry of Japanese velvet In curious design covers the -walls and furniture. The lower part of the walls is hidden by a fantastic cabinet, with Innumerable pigeonholes, shelves and cupboards At various points are bronze panels, picked out In gold and silver.—Now York News.

^foundloxKl Led the Way Home* A little girl was found wanderingalong thofootwalk of a street In Keene, N. H. With her was a big Newfoundland dog. She was very much lost and oould give no dew to her home or parents.

The-young man who found her was about to take her to his own home In despair of finding hers when his attention wa$ drawn to the dog. That intelligent animal wa9 trying, by signs of his own,

to convey the impression that he knew tho way to the littlo girl's home. So tho young man took the little girl by the hand and said: "Now, run along, doggie. Show tho way homo."

Tho dog whisked' around, as' if Very much relieved, and started off. In a moment, however, he turnod back to look at the littlo* girl and at the stranger. Tho young mfln still had tho littlo girl's hand, and, nodding to the dog, he said iri a reassuring tone: "Yes, I'm coming along too.* I'll take care of her."

Then the dog turned again and trotted ahead briskly, always looking back when he turned corners, till he had led them a mile and a half and into another town There he stopped at a gate, and giving a little spring against the latch he flung the gate open, and with short, joyful barks bounded up the front path. The door opened, and the young man had tho pleasure of seeing the littlo girl in the arms of a very much agitated mamma.—New York World.

Remarkable Child.

A most remarkable child, named Flllpe Gonzales, has appeared in the city of San Luis Potosi. Tho boy .is only 8 years of age and lias given a number of receptions, which have boon attended by the most prominent and highly educated citizens of that city and surrounding oountry. At one of tho receptions held reoently tho child discusged tho question of tfho education of children and their literary duties. According to the reports of those who heard him, the discourse was ono of the most profound In thought and full of interest that have ever befflj hoard in Mexico. The boy has a most wonderful memory and makes his statements with a positiveness that carries conviction with them. The boy speaks and writes Italian, French, Spanish, English and German. He creates the greatest Interest and astonishment among all who have seen him.

An Atlanta milkman has started in the footsteps of the Lon doners. Every morning soon after daybreak a milkman may be seen moving along Pulliam street with a herd of five fine milkers, stopping here and therein front of the residences long enough to milk one of the cows. The oows are well drilled and have learned the home of every customer. Tho sight is a unique one, and it serves to illustrate the statement that Atlanta is keeping pace.—-Atlanta Constitution....,
