THE FINEST FLOWEIl.

OFTEN CRUELLY BRUISED BY THE SUPPOSEDLY "WELL BRED.",

The Impertinence That GalU Sensitive Pride—True Delicacy Wilt Be Eqnal to Not Seeing What Would Hart Another

T'

to Have Known,

*'She is a charming person," said one woman once, speaking of another. "She never cues what she ought not. She does not look as if sho did not, but she really manages not to see. One is always safe With her."

The common Idea is that just as much as this could ha said of any well bred person. But there never was a more erroneous notion. There are Innumerable individuals whose breeding is perfectly good in other respects to whom the finest flower of It Is quite a dead letter. It ought really to bo an infallible canon with people who have a pretension to breeding to keep their minds entirely away from the personal and private details of other people's lives. The highest standard of delicacy should bo to avoid speculation altogether as to what sort of family life an acquaintance may lend, what sort of furniture or servants or house she possesses, what sort of clothes she wears. It is possible to be vaguely aware of 6uch things without allowing the thought to dwell upon them in the least, but one need not have a great experience to see that the woman, or the man either, for that matter, who deliberately cultivates this attitude of scrupulous mental delicacy as to the trivial or private affairs of others is a very rare personality indeed. In foot, it may be said that very fashionable people,

are not always the

wlfo

best bred, of course, but whose way of doing things give the "tone" just as much as if they were, often disregard even the suggestion of such an attitude in the most conspicuously cool way.

The writer recalls the indignation of a certain unworldly, newly married little body, whoso pretty but modest little apartment one day received the visit of a great society woman, whose own belongings wero of a sumptuous order, who had oallud on the little bride bemuse there was a connection between herself and some members of the groom's family. "She looked all about her quite frankly and with the most serenely impertinent air," cried the little woman hotly. "She took in everything In the room. She stared at some of the handsomest of my wedding presents as if she wondered how anything so nice could have come into the hands of such an obscure little individual as myself. There was an alcove at ono end of the room where we were sitting, and she kept looking at the curtains hung across it as if she wero asking herself what in the world could be behind them. Had she looked much longer I should have certainly felt like rising and saying, 'Would you like to Boe what there is back of that curtain?' Really it was the most extraordinary picco of rudeness I ever could have imagined. And yet she seemed quite unconscious of being rude too. The whole thing was so cool that I could scarcely keep from laughing at moments, angry as I was. And what gave especial point to it all also was that my people were originally quite as well off as hers and quite as good in every way, and that she knows it, only, of course,

Bbe

never stopped to think

of that. If I, when I went to one of her 'days,' had touched the brocade of her Louis XV chairs to see if it were all silk and examined the pattern of her spoons when I drank her tea or chocolate, she probably would have said, would she not, that I had lived so far outside of the social world that I really was not a person whom one could Invito? And yet in what degree would my 'manner' have been more uncivilized than hers?"

Not in any degree, my dear young lady. But these are extreme cases. One need neither considor them nor their pendant at the other pole of social life, the country gossip above alluded to who counts the pictures and the rugs in the room out of the corner of her eye when she goes to see the new doctor or minister's wife. There are more normal instances that we have around lis every day. It is not alone tho insufferable individuals who have an air of "sizing up" one's material belongings who are irritating.

One need not bave aught in one's life to concoal, and yet there will always be moments when one would prefer to foel that the gaze of those with whom one carao in contact was not resting upon one too observantly. There are instants when perhaps an unavoidable hcartache shows itself, in spite of all efforts, in the faco, and yet one would so liko to think that it had passed unnoticcd. It not only galls a sensitive pride to think that It has been seen, but tho fact, of knowing one's secret laid bare adds to one's discomfort by inducing an awkward self consciousness. In tho most excellently managed households also things will occasionally go awry. What hostess in such a contingency has not been ready to think that ono of her guests who really and genuinely looked as if nothing were amiss, and as, if even it were, it would bo of no consequcnco, was the most delightful person of her acquaintance?

To be sure, fllrery ono In such awkward circumstances assumes as a matter of course a mien that seeks to pretend that nothing has gone wrong, but it is often a very perfunctory and obvious assumption. It deceives no one, and it does not in the very smallest degree lesson tho discomfort of the person or persons bearing the brunt of the situation. In fact, the role is often so poorly played that it makes tho awkwardness of tho moment almost more pronounced than if there had been no pretense at all of appearing to see nothing. Very different indeed is that true delicacy and breadth of good breeding that simply passe* on, will not stop to take account ot thn dilemma at all, rises quite above it without any affectation.

Women who do see everything are always dreaded, but they arc never liked. They are never by any chance popular. At least they are never popular with the women—men do not have so much opportunity to observe their little peculiarities in this regard—very naturally. Women who retain the affection of tbelr very intimate friends year after year are always, if you will notice, those who do not see too much. No matter how close the tie of friendship that binds people together, a certain measure oi blindness as to small personal details on both sides is a most essential condition of harmony.—New York Dispatch.

A Vim

For Magnesia.

Many women are worried by a constant tendency to perspire tosely In the palms which ruins their gloves. This Is an expensive distemper, for there are women who spoil new gloves simply by one wearing. For this use magnesia. Get it In square blocks and rub it thoroughly into the skin before putting on the glove. Rigorously adhered to, the effect Is entirely desirable.

THE DEBS SENTENCE. Judge Woods has rendered his decision in the contempt cases, finding Debs and his associate officials of the A. R. U. guilty of contempt of court by disregarding the order restraining them from taking Bteps to obstruct interstate commerce and the U. S. mail, by ordering or advising railway employes to strike. Debs was sentenced to six months and the others three months in jail. The sentence was suspended for ten days to permit of an appeal. The punishment is less severe than expected, perhaps even by the A. R. U. officials.
