BAB'S LETTER.

THE ART OF ATTENDING TO ONE'S OWN BUSINESS, C^tX

WALDORF ASTOR'S GOOD WIFE. Mrs. William Waldorf Astor lived a life that was exquisitely beautiful. She loved her husband and her children and, as far as possible, devoted herself to them, although she never shirked the duties which her large wealth entailed npon her. A supersensitive woman she was, I have been told upon good authority, driven out of this country by the innumerable annoymous letters threatening to steal her son. This is not a very great credit to us as a people, and when we realize that a number of very good and desirable citizens have been driven from us for much the same cause, to -aoek foreign shores, it is less a cause for congratulation. That the members of this family should be seen in public, talking and laughing loudly, and making themselves most conspicuous by being at dinners and dances, while the body of Mrs. William Waldorf Astor rested in death in a chill chapel, has seemed absolutely awful to right thinking women. That, for a miserable petty quarrel between two women, or, as it has been asserted, made by one woman, an insult should be offered to the dead, is a something that strikes home to the heart of every woman. It is a pity that this should have been done by the wornen of the Astor family. It is a pity because, as I have said before, they represented the conservative element, and what their women did was counted of much importance. I do not think they will ever regain the position they once held.

The world at large, the enormous class of women who are not in society, socalled, but who hear continually of it, will tell this tale of brutality to the dead whenever the Astor women are mentioned, and the story of the dead woman's life, her beauty, her loving kindness, and her sweet devotion to her husband and children will point a moral and adorn the tale.

DEADLY AMERICAN 8INS.

A very clever man is writing a series of articles on "The Seven Deadly Sins of Americans." The first one accredited to the American men and American women was "Bragging." I am sorry to say it, but I think that in attaching this vice to us as a nation, he has simply stated what Is an absolute faot. What have we after all to brag about? The leader of the conservative set in New York has behaved with greater meanness, has shown less heart than one would have believed possible in a wom­

an,

or, indeed, in anything created outside a brute. What writer have we who lives in this country and about whom vie can brag as compared with Rudyard Kipling? Dickens, Balzac, or Thackeray?

M,What

painter have we who is on a level with MiUaTs, Cabanel, Bastian, Lepaze or Bougereau? What dramatist with Sardou? We cannot boast that we begin to understand making homes as do the people of the older world, for as a nation we are absorbed by another vice that Is quite as vulgar as bragging, and that is. curiosity. I' you have any doubt on the subject, pick op the morning paper and read about a famous actor.

You are not told about his abilities as an actor, or about his ideas of the great Dlaywrighta. Oh, no! The number of clubs to which lie belongs is mentioned, the presentation plates or pictures thsi he may posa«*» are described his costumes are dilated upon while, as to the •woman, we are told the number of men she baa captivated, who is her dress maker whether the satin she wear* on thft ata'tre is of tbe best quality and which The?jewels are real and which are uast© It the reporter happens to take a ^dislike to her, either as an actress or as

•JL* IX People we are Altogether Too Fond of Prying Into Other People's Affairs—Crltfalsing the Ast«r Family—It is Not Necessary for Us to be Walking Question Marks.

iCopyright, IkM.]

There has been a great deal of talk, and a great deal of sensible talk, lately, in regard to the peculiar conduct of the Astor family towards the dead wife of "William Waldorf Astor. Usually I do not speak about such personal matters. For what people do is entirely their own affair, and the world at large has no business to pry into what simply concerns private individuals. The world has no right whatever to decide as to the right or wrong of a question that is purely personal. However to New York society the Astor family has stood as a representative of all that is best of the millionaire set. The women are considered well bred, and it was thought whatever Mrs. Astor did, might be considered au example, and a good one, for any young woman. They were never quoted as encouraging the fast doings of the 8u-called "howlingtswells," and it lias been thought, up to now. that a Mrs. Astor was a credit, not only to all women, but to the country. I'c was known that the late Mrs. John Jacob Astor was particularly kind to gentlewomen who had suffered reverses of fortune, and then she gave, and gave generously, but in the most unostentatious way. Her right hand, as repre sen ting her neighbor, never knew what her left hand did. Which is the goodly way to he kind and womanly.

Take the average Ainerlqau woman who has beau visiting you, When she leaves you, sue does not tell hei friends the bright things that were talked about, the books or piotures that were dia cussed, but she dilate* upan your private affairs, what she discovered of your methods as a housekeeper, while she makes guesses to satinfy the general curiosity, as to how much vour belongings cost. The son of an English statesman, the late John Bright, visited this country some years ago, and told me that he Indulge* in a white lie wherever he went that he denied his own father "I would not have done this," he said, if the people who came to me had asked me about his political opinions, about his literary tastes, but instead of that they simply showed a petty curiosity They wanted to know what he had for breakfast, what was his opinion of woman, if ha tubbed in hot or cold water, and who were the loves of his early life." No one oould blame him for being unwilling to cater to such a low curl osity. $

business has the general public

in discovering whether an actress is happy in her marital relation? She is on the stage to act. When the curtain 'drops she should be let alone, unless indeed her behavior Is so bad that all right thinking people prefer not to give her the favor of their countenance. In that case, the best way to express it is to stay away from the theater. Instead, I am sorry to say, that the more notorious her private life and the worse her acting and the finer her frooks, the more will good women rush to the theater that they may say they have seen her. And this is but another expression of the vice curiosity. I

A CAUTIOUS ENGLISH ACTRESS. Last year a famous English actress, who is particularly wise in dividing her social and her business life, met, at one of the numerous entertainments given in her honor, a woman who pleased her by her brightness and gaiety. After this, when these two met they had a pleasant chat, and that was the extent of the acquaintance. In the summer,they met again on Bond street in London. They stopped, and the English woman, delighted to see her American acquaintance,said: "Come, go home and lunch with me." This was declined, on the plea of an engagement for that day. The English woman then said, "I am extremely busy preparing for anew production, but I am always at home at 1 o'clock, and I shall always be glad to have you lunch with us quite en famille at 1:30." The inyitation was accepted, and the acquaintances parted. There is no compliment in giving big entertainments at restaurants to people. There is much in the asking one into one's family life. A few days after this meeting, the American woman dropped in at the English woman's house and lunched with her. She displayed a remarkable curiosity, wanted to be told much about the house, its furnishings and the methods of life followed by the entire family. She never even hinted that she was a newspaper writer. Fancy the horror of the English woman, who bad meant to be kind and polite, on receiving a clipping, descriptive of her house and her home life, with this dirty—one can call it nothing else—expression in It: "Mrs. X. Y. X. was extensively entertained when she visited Amerioa. In return for this she gives an ordinary home luncheon. I went, expecting to meet some celebrities, and I only saw her pug-nosed daughters." What do you think of that as a return for a politeness? I do not know the woman who wrote this, but I am exceedingly sorry for her. Sorry that she outrages hospitality, and more sorry that she is an American woman, who will be accepted as a type of all the other women who write.,

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

When you come to Delmonico's with meyoa can criticise thecooking, the service, and whatever the bypercritioal spirit may induce you to disouss, though, as I pay for it, that is not quite kind but when you come into my house and I give you a share of my home life, you have no right to criticise anything, and you have less right to be overwhelmed by curiosity and desire to know that which does not concern you. When will we overcome this vice? When will we learn how vulgar it is to question people about their affairs? Whon will we learn that Americans are laughed at as walking question marks, and that the world at large—the educated world—scorns the questions and laughs at the questioner. Our country is so big and fine, and produces so muoh that is beautiful, that it is a great shame its people do not represent It as well as its fruitsami its flowers. One's home is certainly one's castle, and into it the demon of curiosity should not be allowed to en ten

HOW KINDNESS WAS REWARDED.

There are people who believe that everything that is printed is true. This is not always so. And to prove this I will tell yon another story. By-the-bye, what I say is true, because I know the people. A young woman was sent by a daily paper to interview a well-known actress. She sent up her card a!8o'clock in the morning 1 The actress was awakened to receive It. She hesitated for awhile as to what answer she would send, and at last concluded, as she was a kind-hearted woman, that she would see the young lady and give her the information she desired. But she had to ask her to wait for a little while. She took her bath, and of course her hair was wetted, and needed to be combed out and dried. She threw on a dressing gewn, as she did not wish to keep her visitor

waiting any longer than possible, and went in to stte the CHl'er who had come AT SUOH AN UNCIVILIZED HOUR, in a clean, but plain, flrtunel gown, and with her long and beautiful hair spread out over her shouldnrs. Her maid brought in, ln«a few minutes, the break fast tray, and the visitor was asked, a« she would have been in an English house, to have a oup of tea. I think it was declined, However, the next, day, this woman's feelings were hurt by reading: "Mrs. X. Y. Z, has always been thought to be at least a clean womau. But it is a fact that she breakfasts in an untidy wrapper, with her hair uncombed." This purely feminine stab was the thanks for the courtesy shown a woman who got np two hours before the usual time, aud gave to arranger, sim ply because she was a woman, the in formation she asked for. When it WAS suggested that the woman in question should deny this, the answer came from her manager that it was not in the least likely her denial would te published This is how mountains are made out of mole hills This is the result of the never ceasing greed for ne*vs, news be log represented, too often, by petty gos sip and small meannesses

An American actress told me that one of the best known critics in this country would never say a good word about her work and when he was asked by a friend why was this so, he said: "I dislike her both as a woman and as an actress." When he was asked to give the reason, he said he had no reason typ simply did not like her and no matter hcfw good her work was, he would ngt say a good word about it. And yet thvs man's writings are widely read, and called criticisms.

WE WANT TO KNOW TOO MUOH. Are we going to be brave enough to grow bigger, to fit ourselves to the couritry we live in? To grow bigger in mind, bigger in ideas, bigger in heart, bigger in ability, and smaller in the vioes of bragging and curiosity? It is a mean thing to "want to know," to want to know what does not concern us. To want to know people's private affairs. TO want to know about their money affairs. To want to know about their heart affairs. To want to know about their little things that go to make up life, as lived by the man or woman in their homes and hearts, the life that doesn't belong to the world at large. It belongs to the people who live it, and the God who judges it, and be very sure that he will judge it, and that He will look, without mercy, on the base, mean little sins that make the sons and daughters of this great republic the laughing stock of the whole world. It is true, every word that I have written. You know it is, you who are reading it, as well as I who am writing it,- an^SM|o which, in token of good faith, I ptit^Wy seal and my signature. BAB.

TSaby's Crib.

Soft, fleecy blankets are the best covering for baby's crib, but a very pretty comforter inay be made of cheesecloth. Take three yards of fine cream colored cheeseoloth. When folded together, this will make a comforter a yard and a half long and a yard wide. Fill tUis with a pound of the best cotton batting. Do not tie with knots of worsted, as is the general custom, for baby will pick at these bright spots, pull out the bits of worsted and perhaps put them in its mouth. Dangerous throat diseases have been traced to this habit. Instead of worsted thread use a darning needle and tuft with pale pink or blue "baby ribbon." Take a stitch through the comforter and tie it in little bows, tying it first in a hard knot and then in a bow. Then take a stitch or two through the bow to hold it firm, so that the little fingers cannot pull it out. An edge crocheted from split zephyr makes' a pretty finish for this little comforter, or it may be neatly bound with wider ribbon to match the bows.—Bnbyland.

Poor Digestion

Leads to nervousness, fretfulness, peevishness, chronio Dyspepsia and great misery. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the remedy. It tones the stomach, creates an appetite, and gives a relish to food. It makes pure blood and gives healthy action to all the organs of the body. Take Hood's for Hood's Sarsaparilla Oures.

Hood's Sarsaparilla becomes the favorite cathartic with every one who tries them. 25c.

.. Birds For Women's Hats.

It is said to require the lives of 5,0*00,000 song birds annually to keep the lmts of American women in proper feather. The swamps and marshes of Florida havo already been depopulated of their aigrets and herons to supply the demands of fashion. As for the English women, they have been sending hunters to scour the wilds cf Africa for feathered ornaments. Our own section of the country is made to pay tribute to this whim of vanity fair abroad as well as at home. In a single season 40,000 tern have been killed on Cape Cod for exportation.-—Boston Globe.

To Care a Doable Chin.

A certain indolent womaii with a tendency toward hating a double ohEn has hit upon a method of wardtnit off the evil day. She disiikes to arise as soon as she awakes, and she spends the half hour or so before she g&soutof bed each morning in stroking her chin down into her neck with firm, even strokes. The massage is undeniably good for he# chili, and she feels that her indolence is forgivable under the circumstances.

The new skirts^are known as the three piece and tbo five piece skirt, though somo dressmakers call them the organ pipe aud funnel skirt. Tliere is more labor and time iexpended on the proper adjustment of these Bkirts, plain as they appear, than on many an elaborate costume. It is oniy by the most extreme pains that these skirts become successes, and whoever wishes to make one exactly right will do

well to profit by these directions. The three piece skirt is quite as pretty as the five piece and is much easier for the amateur to handle. The first move is to take the material and spread it out and draft out the length, always allowing an extra inch for ''take up." Then measure across the top,«so that the doubled fold will reach two-thirds around the waist. Hollow it out three-quarters of an inch in front and mark in four darts, each 5 inches deep and inches across. These should cause the front to fit smoothly over the hips. If they are not deep enough or too deep, adjust them. The sides slant 5 inches, so that the bottom of the front breadth is 10 Inches wider than the top. A

The two back breadths measure 1H yards each, and the front one three-quar-ters of a yard, or a yard at the bottom if preferred. The back pieces are cut on the full width of 64 inch goods, and the side joining the front is cut straight on the selvage of the goods and should be drafted so that the straight thread goes from one to the other of the two XX's. The top of the skirt is curved IK inches, and they each measure 18 inches across the top. The back seam comes bias. The three seams are stitched up, pressed flat, and then the facing, which has been cut to exactly fit the outside, is put on.

First comes a deep facing, or full lining of silesea, with an interlining of horsehair or wigan. A bias band of indestructible velutina is then stitched upon both linings, so that when sewed to the dress to turn the velutina is outside. The facing is then basted in place, or the lining if it is lined, and herringboned to the outside in Invisible stitches. After this it is pressed into perfection. The darts may be left out of the front at the top and small gathers run in to fit it over the hips. The back fullness may be gathered and left to fall in natural folds, or it may be laid in the small box plaits which spread out widely toward the bottom, or it may be laid under in small, flat plaits, two on each side. The model shows a skirt of the same length all around, but by allowing greater length around the back of the two back breadths it can be made a demitrain. The back breadths, which are to fall in round, flat or burnoose plaits, should be lined with wigan, or, better still, haircloth, and when the plaits are taken in at the top they are fastened into their rounded shape by tapes. The three piece skirt is better adapted for street wear than the five piece, and when for that purpose the three breadths must be the exact measure all around. It is quite impossible for any one to make one of these skirts and have it exactly right, and the slightest imperfection shows glaringly, without a dress frame to try it on, or some one to help the maker, who is to wear it. The bias parts are also apt to sag. Some dressmakers put straight lining about 10 inches wide down the sides and catstitch it down. Lining when cut with the dress will 6ag with it.

It is permissible to have a very little narrow trimming on these skirts, but al-

most all are severely plain. The richness of the heavy folds of the skirt would lose something of its effect if cheapened by trimming. Enough of that is bestowed upon the corsages.

The amateur will be discouraged more than oncc before she gets those apparently simple folds into their proper shape, but with the diagrams as guide she will sue oeed if Bbe perseveres. Those of equal length hang in a manner that has made them so famous. All depends upon the finish of the seams and the laying in of those two or three innocent little plaits.

An Impossible House. V*

The man and his wife called on the architect, and the architect was glad to see them, for business was extremely dull.

We want you to build a house for us," said the man by way of Introduction. "Thanks," bowed the architect. "I shall be onlv too glad to do so, and I am quite sure tfcat I can give entire satisfaction." "Well you ought to," remarked the lady. "We don't want much." "What kind of a house did you wish?" Inquired the architect. "We want a good, plain one of about eight rooms," explained tho man, "and tve will leave the design to you. All we expect Is that when you have finished it it will suit my wife and myself—I mean en the inside. We are not so particular about the outside."

The architect heaved a deep sigh. "Iru very sorry,"he said, "but you will have to go to some other architect. We tan't design an impossible bouse In this sfflce.Detroit Free Press.

In pleased consciousness of her delightfulness, she sits in the center of her table, casts her glances and her words around her, undulates with varied gesture, and is again, in thordhgh meaning and result, the typical Parisienne.—Blackwood's Magazine.

Women Composers.

Among the women composers who have attained some reputation are MissChaminade of Paris, Miss Augusta Holmes, he Irish musician in Paris Mrs. Beach (Miss Cheney), the head of the American list Miss Lang, Miss Sparmaun, the author of a very able philosophical treatise on music, and, last of all, Clara Schumann. None of these, however, would be classed as a "great composer." In spite of the absence of feminine genius in musical composition, it is only just to acknowledge the influence of women upon our great composers and to reedgnize the fact that the old fashioned notion that women should be the slaves of men in at least one instance prevented a woman from becoming a great composer. Women in the past have not been so conspicuous in certain spheres of activity as they would have been had opportunity been supplied. Today opportunity is supplied, and we see great advances in woman's usefulness and service in all callings. Tho next century is likely to produce great musical composeA among women as well as great novelists, teachers and artists.—L. C. Elson.

Scarf For the Stady Table.

A desirable scarf for the study table in a handsome library or sitting room is a breadth of golden brown furniture velvet, with au en:pire wreath and bowknot In brown and gold on cacli end. The wreath of laurel leaves may be cut from velvet of a darker shade and applied with gold thread. The scarf is lined with pongee silk and interlined with canton flannel. Such a scarf seen on a drawing room table was of dark old rose and had the ends trimmed with a narrow galloon of rose and gold. This scarf should bo made long enough to cover either tho length or breadth of the table and hang at least half a yard over each end. It is all Che cover necessary on a table of handsomely polished wood.
