Mkmbjr-l'itinbyand Immoral—Wh«n lUb Would Really Like to "Kick." $ [Copyright, 18M.] People have commenced to talk and fto write about bow important It is to '-'read disagreeable things. Of how use less are good novels, and how altogether desirable it is to count as of great worth those heavy articles and essays that really and truly tire one almost to death

There are too many good books In the world for anybody to submit to being bored by those that are stupid, and after all, what good do they do one? Nobody remembers that which Is tiresome. Instead, we think of the weighty book with a feeling of heaviness that comes, not only to the brain, but abso lutely affects the stomach. If people who have the dyspepsia would often read a good novel, the disease would be 'forgotten. For really a good novel is like Aladdin's lamp. It rubs up the brightness and makes one think. Just now the world at large ought to feel im xnensely indebted to the man who wrote "Trilby," for, in addition to the lovely story, there are those delightful pictures to look at and they are sc good, and tell so muoh, and make you so well acquainted with the people, that you feel like giving your very best bow and saying your very sweetest "thank you" for the hours of pleasure that have oome to you. jOY-arviNa BOOKS.

What a lot it must mean to have written a book like that? A book that makos joyous hours for people, takes them out of the worries of this life, and makes them appreciate goodness and kindness and brightness. It was a wise man who said, "Never read a book that you do not like." The forcing your eyes to look at stupid pages, insisting upon your brain digesting tiresome sentences, only results in weariness whereas, a good book, and by a good bcok I mean a book in which there is a good plot, in which the characters are well diawn, and in which the English is good, will make the minutes and the hours go by so quickly that you will exolaim, not only at the shortness of life, but at its pleasures. Somebody asked what was an immoral book, and I have been thinking it over and wondering how it could be described. It seems to me that the immoral book is not the book in Which there are bad words, because that book disgusts the reader, and is quickly thrown aside. No, the immoral book is that one which, in beautiful language, makes sin seem attractive, and a wicked life the most desirable. One has to learn about books, learn to divide them as men are, into sheep and goats, and to select from them the ones which will give the greatest pleasure, and at the same time do the greatest good.

BOOKS AS COMPANIONS.

A happy book is a good book, for it makes you forget for a little while the misery that is in the world, and forces you to appreciate the good. Generalizing, I do not like religious books. They are too namby-pamby but there are books which draw ploturesof beautiful lives, and make goodness and sweetness and virtue seem at once the best of all things, and the most desirable to obtain. You like au amusing book? I do. I like a pleasant book, that makes me laugh, because it Is absolutely funny but I don't like a book in which the wit has a sting, and which makes a jest of what you or I or somebody else holds saored. That is why I like Thackeray. Sometimes his pen was dipped in gall, but that is when he Is showing up the meanness of humanity when he wrote of goodness and patience and virtue and loving kindness, his pen went into rosecolored ink, and what he Baid was written in clear words, that he who read might understand.

Books mean so much in the lives of people that It seems to me more thought ought to be given to those that oome to live with ua, and are our daily companions. If you area bit heartsick, and a little lonely, you don't want to take up a book that tells of the petty spites, of the mean malice, and of the stinginess and vlciousness of the world but you want to read about somebody who Is cheery and bright and funny, and who will make you forget your own worries, and give all your thought to the atory and its hero. You want to have Dumas, or Dickens, or Thackeray, or Jerome, or Zangwill, or some of the olever women,

USB MRS.

BURTON HARRISON,

who write dainty stories of life these are the people whose books you want to road, and to be part of your existence. And I want to tell you one thing If you are going to read much, you must conclude that there are a number of things of which you are ignorant, and you mustn't be afraid to refer to the dietionary. Mine Is worn out by constant reference, and the fact is that one of the dogs ate the back off, but still it is useful. One® you conclude that there are some things you don't know, and you will And that you are on the high road to extreme knowledge. But, goodness gracious! what a lot I have preached.

One thing I did learn a long time ago, when

Lou

Is. the Fourteenth was King,

and men looked Hke pictures, and fine teoe* were appreciated, and morals were not all they ou*ht to be, it was the

torn of the King to give to the lady who bad been gracious to him, a gold girdle, so thoee ladles who thought more of their reputations than of the King'* pL,*™ —•1 suae to bettM Unn

'A good

gold girdle."

Nowadays, it would aeem as tf one might possess both the girdle and a good name, for fashionable women in« variably display one aa an adjunct to thai? smartest visiting gown, Perhaps they are not troubling themselves about good names, but really aud truly,! don't think I ever saw so MAN* CKWJJ ainpusa in all my life. Girdles that are tight, girdles that are loose, girdles that are wide, girdles that are narrow, girdles that are tied up almost to one's throat and make one look shortwaisted, girdles that are drawn way down to a point to make one look longwalated, girdles of gold braid, girdlea of gold passementerie girdles of gold cord—any sort of girdle in which gold tinsel and paste jewel* can be arranged, obtains more and more every day.

There are girdles that fasten queerly require someone else to tie them, girdlea that you can't hook to save your life girdles that only the skilled hand of a maid can arrange, and bye-the*bye must tell you thatsomegirlaoalled these "morality girdles," inasmuch as no man oould ever fasten one. The intention of the Frenoh bodioe of this season is to be so complicated that you can't put It on yourself. It is to hook so far baok on the shoulder that some one has to stand behind you and fasten it, or else the ool lar is some queer contrivanoe that needs to have its loop drawn far baok, and of oourse, one cannot do this one's self after the bodioe is assumed, without risking the flying open of all the seams. Every well dressed woman knows that she can't put on her bonnet after she has assumed her bodioe, so she doesn't need to be told that she can't arrange any thing at the baok of her neok after her bodice is hooked. The woman in a petticoat and a bonnet always reminds me of the elder Miss Peoksnlff on her wedding morning, when all was there—but the bridegroom.

GOLD IS PLENTIFUL THIS WINTER. It is rather funny how gold on clothes runs perfeotly rampant this season People used to think that only brunettes oould wear gold, but in this day of bad manners, telegraphs and bad morals, gold is made to adapt itself to blaok and white, to blonde and brune, and to all sorts and conditions of women. Go to any tea and give a penny to the poor for every gold girdle or oollar you see there, and the poor will be Vanderbilts go to the dressmakers, and after you have looked at an evening gown, a dinner gown or a walking gown, after its drapings have been criticised, its originality praised, then there steps forward the maid with the girdle—the gold girdle. And they tell you it is Greek. And this Greek adjunct has to harmonize with the frock, no matter what its style may may be. The girdle is assured, and you and your neighbor and the other woman have all got to wear it

I heard some people talking about politeness the other day. It surprised me a little, for as the world stands to-day, it is not well mannered. It has not the politeness of the woman who advertised that she wanted to bring up her baby on condensed milk. Undoubtedly she took silence for consent, but had the decency to ask the permission of the world.

YOUR FRIENDS AND THEIR FRIENDS. Just now, the women who are going to give balls this winter are suffering from their friends. It is bad enough to have to invite all the people on your visiting list, but whren it comes to these people asking for invitations for their friends, even a patient woman loses her temper. Balls are very pretty, but I don't think they have the approbation they used to. Men are too lazy, or too awkward, they don't say which, to want to dance, and only the very young, or the very old are enthusiastic about it. Young girls dance for fear the world at large will think they can't, or that they have something the matter with them—a wooden leg would prevent It. The very young man who 'dances Is not half as interesting as

THAT MECHANICAL TOY,

whioh, when wound up, smokes a cigarette while the music box under him plays the latest tune from a London variety hall.

The very young man is weak in health and brains. I saw a sweet but oallow youth, who appeared at an "at home" in a pink satin waistcoat, with gold buttons upon it. I really don't know whether he wore any other garments, for my eyes were fixed upon the glowing pink. If I were a young girl, good-looking and bright, and expected to prance around at balls with boys of soventeen or elderly gentlemen of seventy, 1 would do like the rest of the prancers—I'd kick. And if my chaperone objected, I'd get married and give myself over to the civilized form of entertainment—dining. There one chances meeting one with brains, and one is certain to be well fed. The height of civilisation is reached when stomach and brain alike are catered to, and one is made conscious of the fact that one is credited with intelligence.

GOOD DINNER TALKERS APPRECIATED. There is a great deal In having the reputation of being a desirable dinner guest. In the first place, one is supposed to know exactly what are the good things to eat, And to appreciate them spiritually and materially. Then one is supposed to be able to talk well.

A good talker is, first of all, one who never manages to touch your sensitive spot.

A good talker Is one whose voice is agreeable to listen to. A good talker is one whose ififttiibfy It not too good.

A good talker is one who remembers the charming side of life and forgets the disagreeable.

A good talker is one who never asks impertinent questions. A good talker is one who realizes the value of the personal touch In conversation, *nd yet steers dear of soandaL

A Story That Is Told.

A certain young woman whose funds are smaller than her taste and ingenuity has just renovated her dining room wall paper at a very small outlay of money. The paper was fortunately of light material, color and pattern, and it had grown soiled and dingy through long service. She bought a remnant of light straw matting at 80 oents a yard and tacked it around the lower part of the wall, headed by a broad, plain giifip for & dad a Then she hung cheap paper Japanese scrolls at regular intervals over the worst places in the paper, reaching from the ceiling to the top of the matting, and lastly tacked up small portfolio engravings wherever they happened to be needed.

OOVSR FOR A QBANP PIANO.

Dif««t)on* T*r Selecting the Material and Color—An fCfffaetive Deaign, An attractive cover for a grand piano Is not an everyday ooourreuoe owing to its peculiar shapfrMshe uarrow end and curved sides. The cover intended for a grand piano, more than for either the Upright or square, requires much oare and thought iu its design and finish, fioarfs and fostooned draperies detract

mrriHrimn

ATTBACmVR OOVBB FOR GRAKD PIANO. from the grand piano's Individual and Intentional shape consequently women who own these pianos are solely pulled to know exactly what sort of oovers would prove most artistio, useful and appropriate. To help them as well as the owners of the square and the up Tight piano a design originally made for Tho Ladies' Home Journal is made in two pieces. The upper portion is mado to fit tho ourvo, The fall, which is about the depth of the body of the piano, is finished with fringe. The pieces are joined together when the embroidery is complete,

Tho first thing to be considered is the seleotion of color and material, for the piano cover must be of the colors predominating in the parlor, music room or drawing room where the piano has its place. Should tho background be a soft gray green the design as shown would bo oh arm i«g worked in contrasting shades of gray green either in solid effects or simply outlined or heavily oouohed, with the status In gold thread. The design thus treated would not bo apt to puckor under the needle. China silk could bo utilized for this cover if lined before working with soft muslin. The softness of this fabric would lend additional beauty to the effect when worked.

When both the top and border are embroidered, join together with a little frill of tho china silk, which can be made as full as the taste diotates. If the finish is preferred plain, the border oould be made deep enough to allow for the edge. This particular finish is best adapted to china silk or any very soft fabric, a cord being almost too stiff even when made as soft and pliable as possible. The fringe should be of the same color as the background and made of silk not very heavy and quite narrow. A knotted fringe is preferable, as it has a lighter effect. Use for the reverse side the satin finish lining which comes for such purposes. ...

Dress Skirts and Sleeves.

Sleeves, still bouffant, are more artistio, more fanciful than ever. Hitherto size seems to have been the modiste's sole and only aim. Now we are to have the daintiest effects of trimmings, and contrasting shades and materials enter into the sleeves, and soft, artistio effects are striven for. Doucet has just finished a dress with an exquisite pair of sleeves, which, he says, cost him more thought and planning than all the other parts of tho frock combined.

Skirts, as a rule, retain their plainness. Sometimes they open at the side and show a contrasting shade of velvet or a softly plaited fan of silk or satin. The back often hangs in two broad box plaits. Plaited skirts, with dainty sash draperies, are shown in the latest Parisian models. Drapery is straight rather than bouffant in effect. Plain skirts are often very wide at the bottom and stand out gracefully in the baok. Bioh, heavy fabrics are made into plain, short skirts. The softer fabrics are slightly draped, sometimes showing a gay petticoat underneath. Just the least suspioion of a bustle is sewed in the back of some, of the latest skirts.
