Sfyle Worth Moro Tbm Beauty. Would you lather havo style or beauty? Is a question that is tfery often asked among womefi, and tlio answer Is almost invariably in faror of style, whilo men quite as decidedly rote in favor of beauty, as a matte? of oouTse. A pretty face alone counts for but little, especially at a ball or any other social funotion, if the owner is •tberwisc dowdy or badly dressed. An ugly woman, with a good figure and distoigiiished

pcrroeption, for a man feels the efJocfc style, although unable to define what really is, and often unwittingly calls beauty. "A tall, slight Womafi oan make anything of herself eha-ch oases," is a saying quoted from a Trench dressmaker, which has a great-deal of tenth in it, although it goes without saying that, in addition, a woman must have other qualities to bring about this result.. She must have good taste, perception jfeid the great knaok of putting on her clothes well, which, by the way, Is an art that is not understood by nine womenoutof tan, «ven the famous Worth having acknowledged that to show really to, advantage his gowns must be

well worn. "That la What tries me more than anything else," he said ode day to bis favorite customer, "to know that my artistio conceptions are dependent upou others tujd mtiy be completely, spoiled by the way in which they are worn.''

A plain woman, therefore, ndod never foel discouraged If she is olover. By study ing herself dnd hot possibiiitios she can produce a fegult whioh will almost if not quite equal beauty, and she has this great advantage—that her attractions never fade and are tfven apt to increase rather than lessen as she grows older. "A pretty woman is loved for awhile, but an ugly woman forevor," is a French saying, whioh must be true, as it has passed into a proverb, and which is comforting to those who have not the "fatal gift of beauty. —Philadelphia Times.

The American Girl.

Shall I ckare to express my whole ldeia? Tho severe education that the American girl receives agrees especially with those who afterward choose colibaoy. The single woman in the United States is infinitely superior to her European sister. Free from the fetters that Often mako thb French old maid so pitiable and ridioulous, she does not, like the latter, expect to gain liberty by marriage. On the contrary, by-mar-riage she would losothat perfect Independence whioh allows her to oultivate herself more and more, to rise into a larger sphere than that of tho family and even ot the ordinary social circle, by oonsccrating herself'toworksof Universal .interest. Her intercourse with inen, freed from tho childishness of flirtation, bears a efcamp of quietness and freedom which allows real and serious intimacies that no orltioism could assail. One sees no bitterness, no regrets.

Her lot is too beautiful, her life too full, in spite of tho natural satisfactions renounced—nay, perhaps just on account of that rcsmineiation. Let there be, however, no miaubdersta'nding. If ifc seems indispenshJale- to me that tho woman who, for some.gobd reason or other, does not marry should find some sphere for her activity, I Severely blame tho systematic scorn of marriage which comes to many young Americans who are ambitious to bo somebody, to do something, to distinguish themselves in a career and t*esoape from the dommoh'Waiys. With theso pretended vocations fcbero is often mixed a Childish vanity, a morbid idea of creating a sensation, of singling oneself out, and obstacles aie most useful in proving their real value.—Forum.

Mothers as lUilerg.

Mmo. Mario Tberese Blanc, better known under her peoudonym of "Th. Bentzon," the Fronch novolist and critic, writes in The Forum on tho subject of "Family Life In America:" "The part of a mother of a family is perhaps a more delicate oho in Amorica than in France, just becauso there the power of the mother is not that of an autoarat, becauso she does not direct and rule everything herself, bocause there aro many things in -her daughter's life wliich she does ndt think hrersalf authorized to prevent, and whioh sho has to bear, whilo exercising a discroet vigilance. Sho advises without constraining, and under tho gravest circumstances she has to limit herself to an appoal to her daughter's reason without ever counting cn passive obedience. «It is certainly simpler to mold, liko soft wax, a will that gives itsolf up without resisfanfco. "It is juiffc tho feeling of this Unlimited authority over her danghtor, of the good and the wrong sbo may do her, of her rigorous duty to this utter .helplessness, which binds tho French mother so passionately to her second self—whom she has formed without any other influence, admitting Oven girl companions unwillingly, and on her guard, beforehand, against tho futuro husband who would take hw treasure from her. Theso relations are boinj* modified sinco tho introduction of a certain cosmopolitanism into our customs, but what exists ovorywhero with us could not be found "In America, whoro tho young bird of either sox oscapes from the maternal wing as soon as its feathers begin to grow." _•

Curtains.

Next to curtains of real laco, says a New York writer, nothing makes prettier and richer looking curtains for litfclo drawing rooms than those of fishnet edged with renaissance lace. Tho net, as you know, looks liko a heavy brussels not. Tho laoo border is a heavy late composed of laoo braids and rings covered with heavy linen thread. Tho rings aro introduced into tho pattern of tho laco, which is conncoted with lace stitches. Tho fishnet oomos in a number of qualities, both Cue and coarse, and tho renaissance laces are to be bought in narrow edges at 35 ccnte a yard, as well as in wide insertions and in edges at loast a quarter of a yard wide. Tho curtains may theroforo bo very reasonable in prico or as expensive as one chooses.

A pretty pair of tho curtains with narrow laoo edges costs from §12 to $15. Somo of thoso having a wido lace of elaborate pattern cost $100. Often tho samo net of good quality has vines of laCc and flowers appliqued on tho lace. Laco braids aro usod for tho design. Those curtains aro known 38 tho Marie Antoinette. Renaissance lace is also much uccd for buroau covcrs, buffet covers, soarf.s. and doilies used on mahogany dining tables and for mats under handsome lamps. It is used to boader tcacloths both of white and colored linen.

Cleaning Silver.

A great deal of extra fuss is made about cleaning silver in everyday use, says a writer in The Household News. Reponse articles will bold dust in thoir crevices,/ but plain pieces, washed in hot ends and instantly rinsed, ought to keep bright a longtime.

Egg stains yield to a rub of salt, and if disoolorations are treafcod to a touch of silver soap when first disoovered there will be no neod of a weekly cloaning.

A spoonful of ammonia in tho suds is presupposed, and tho water must bo boiling hot, both in that and the rinsing water. If each piece bo taken separately from the latter and wiped before it lias a chance to cool, and this practiec is persisted

Wives and Motherg.

"I am tired," said the thoughtful woman, "of all this din which tho men make about training women to be good wives and mothers. There is no denying there is no holler, higher destiny in'the world-- (if it is done successfully), and perhaps nono that brings more real happiness, but the faot remains that there are many of us who have no aptitude for it any moro than wo have an ear for music or the capacity to write pleasing verse.

For SXarri&ce&ble Ma'ds.

This is how sho got her husband, according to the Buffalo Commercial: "Sho is tho most charming woman I over knew. She never tells anything before dinner," said a young Englishman in speaking the other day of the sister of a college chum in whose house ho was a guest. "I havo visited there more than three months," said ho, "and I have seen Jack's sister every evoning aS soon as Jack did. Sho had never told him anything before dinner, never said a word that could by any chance rufflo him or spoil tho meal for liiin. That kind of a woman is the one to make lifo pleasant for a man, and she would havo won my heart by that one charm, even without the countless others that'have made mo feel she is the only woman in tho world to be quoen of my home."

Small Feet.

It is truo that small feet are oon&idored by many a mark of aristocracy, but they certainly do not indicate superiority of intellect, for many brainy women of supremo intelligence have had very large feet —George Eliot, for examplo. And Mme. Do Staol, tho most brilliant woman Intellectually of her day, had such large and ungainly feet that sho was made miserable by the Consoiousness of their undue proportions. Mmo. De Sfcael once ventured to assume tho role of a Greek statue in somo tableaux vivants and was grievously offended by the witty Talleyrand's bonmot that ho reooguized tho impersonator at once by the "pled do Sfcael."

Lamp Shades and matrimony. "I always let my daughters havo their say about the color of the lamp shades and the arrangement of tho doilies," said a sensible Atchison mother today. "I find as a result that they aro not in such a hurry to get marrisd. Tho foundation of most girls' desire to marry i3 to livo in a house whoro they can havo their own way about the lamp shades and doilies."— Atchison Globe.

Peculiar Coincidence.

Somo years ago," said a well known army officer, "I rode over tho city with General Hanoock, and when wo got to tho Soott statue ho remarked that ho thought it was a mistake to place that statue with Scott's faco toward the White House. General Hancock said it was pretty well known that Scott had triod for years to be elected to the presidency, and ho thought it out of place to havo his face dircotcd that way, as if he was trying to got there even after his death. Littlo did Hancock know then that he would bo a candidate for tho presidency, but lie was, and, as we all know, ho failed to be elected. I see now that the Han cook statuo is to ft»oo toward tho White House."—Washington Star.

VICTORY BY DEFEAT.

The afternoon sunlight, sifting through the thin draperies at the windows, filled the room with a pleasant mallow half light.

Miss Channing had gone to the window and was looking up the street through a chink in the blind. Presently she caught sight of Harding's figure^ and, going hastily back to her plaoe before the fire, sho took up her book, which had been neglocted for an hour, and began to read.

Her interest .was sudden, but it was none the less intense—so intense that tho ringing of the doorboll did not disturb her, or even the opening of the door by the quiet maid.

Harding came into the room quickly, without being announced. He came over to where tho girl was sitting, and she let him stand there fcr a moment, looking down at her then all of a sudden she dropped tho book and held out hor hand to him, smiling.

,- s-

"So you have' come, Paul?".she said, looking up at him. "Did yon think I would not come?" he asked. "I do no6 know, but I was afraid. When I wrote the note, I was afraid." "But still you wrote it. Your fear did not deter you. You would havo written it had yoij been sure that I would not come."

Tho girl withdrew her hand quickly, and tho look of smiling tenderness faded from her face. "You have como to quarrel with me, Paul," sho said.

Harding waited for awhile before he answered. Resting his arm on tho side mantel above the fireplace and facing her, ho answered slowly: "I have not como to quarrel* with you, Eleanor. I do not know that that would do any good. There has been enough of that sort of thing already. But I came to bog you, to entreat you, to command you, if thcro is anything in the relation we boar which gives me any authority over you, to give ovor this determination to which you say you havo arrived—this foolish, needless, cruel resolution. "I ask you to do it for mo, for yourself, for every ono that is interested in you—in the name of our lovo, Eleanor. You cannot mean that you will disregard that?"

The girl heard him through without interruption. "You know, Paul," sbo said, when ho had finished, "you havo said all this to me beforo. This is tho way you begin when we quarrel." "I have never said it to you as I do now, Eleanor. I have never believed that you really meant to do this thing. I half thought that you kept talking about it becauso you saw it worried me. I never bolioved that you really meant it. I cannot bolieve it now." "I can show you a copy of tho contract I have signed," said the girl quietly, almost coldly. "Can it be that you have gone as far as that?" ho said.

Yes, I havo gono as far as that. I told you I was going to." "But you need not keep it. It cannot bind you. I will sco to it myself. I can force Davis to let you off it will bo easy enough," said Harding hurriedly. "But I do not want to bo let off, as you call it," answered tho (jirl. "I knew what I was doing when I signed tho contract. I did it deliberately, bccauso I think ifc is right for mo to have my way about this thing. I do not want to turn back." "You are forcing mo to tell you what it will mean if you persist," said the young man hotly.

Tho girl rose from hor chair and faoed him with flashing eyes. "Well, what will it mean?" sho cried. "It will moan that everything is over between you and mo," ho answered, his oyos flashing too. "You must understand that." "Very well if that is your choice, I havo nothing to say. I cxpeoted that you would say it." "It i3 not my choice. I will not lot you saddle it upon mo. It is your choico and you admit that you havo taken it deliberately. My choico is vory different, but that has nothing to do with this situation apparently." "Yes, your choice is different. Your choico is that I shall submit, even now, boforo wo are married, to your dictation. You say that I do not regard our love. What is thero in our lovo that it can bo served only by the things that you happen to want? Could it not be nourished by a littlo that I want? Is my judgment always to bo wrong and yours always to be right? And becauso I do not immediately look at the thing from your standpoint you say that I am falso to our love. You have no right to say that, for it is not truo. I do not sco why I should givo in to your selfishness. I suppose you would call it your love, but I do not." "Davis told you all these things to say, I suppose," said the young man, with a sneer. "What do you mean?" demanded the girl. "I mean just that. Ever since this cursed business began you have been under his influence. Ho has flattered yoo, and you have bollevcd him. He has told you that you had groat powors, and straightway you havo longed to exercise them. Ho has set you dreaming of applause, of the praiso of the crowds that ho says will welcome your entrance into publio view. Yoa have gone crazy with it, Eleanor. Can you not See it?" "Do you think I will bo a success, Paul?" asked tho girl suddenly. "I do not know. Perhaps you may. Do yon mean that you aro determined to go on with this thing? That you will not listen to moat all?"

There was a long pause, and then the girl answered in a low tone, "Yes thut is what I meant."

Harding turned on bis heel and walked to deer. The girl followed him and opened tho outside door tot hiai. IJe stood a moment looking *t bwr, and then ho wont out, and closed th« door after him. Then she wtnfc back into the mellow light of tho little room, and, throwing herself upon awide divan, burst into tears.

"The surpriso which" we_ havo long known Manager Davis of the Empire theatnr h&4 in Ktorofor.oa la-Qu^at laakllgaldi

the dr&maiio ooiumn of one of the big dallies. "Miss Eleanor Channing, who, it will be remembered, made such a startling success in the amateur field last winter, has been Induced to take the leading role in the 'Princess Lounda,' shortly to be produced at the Empire.''

And thia announcement was made the text of a lengthy gossipy article about Channing and her affairs, and the reasons that had induced her to adopt the 6tage. The article spoke of her wonderful talent and rejoiced that it was no longer to be hidden or wasted in the company of amateufs.

All this, and the many notices that eame after it, Harding Mad with a sinking heart. He made no attempt to seo Miss Channing. He had given up all hope of changing her in her purpose.

As the night of ber first appearah'oe drew near he told himself that it would not do for him to go to the theater. He was afraid that he might do some' foolish thing. Nevertheless when the time oame he could not stay away.

His impatience brought him early to the theater and lie seenred a box, In tho extreme reat of whioh he stowed himself away where he could not be recognized, either frsin the audienoeorfrom the stage.

Presently the orchestra began to play the overttJffe. It was a low, plaintive theme that the leader had chosen and every quiver of the violins seemed to deepen the gloom in the young man's heart.

The orchestra ohanged to a quicker movement, the lights throughout the house were lowered while tho footlights hiaroH forth and then the curtain rose.

There was the usual conventional opening, but after it there was a pause and from the rear of tho stage Miss Channing Cjima forward. Tbero was stillness for a moment, then a stir through the audience and some applause. The play prooeeded.

From bis soat in tho shadow Harding watched her numbly. Ho heard what she was s&ying and yet he did not bear it. It seemed not to make any impression on him.

Presently he roused himself suddenly. What was the matter with tho audience? He looked back to the stage where Eleanor was.

Was he mad? What kind of acting was that which he saw? Could it bo tbat this clumsy, awkward woman was Eleanor Channing? She seemed moro like a wooden woman. He breathed sigh of relief when the curtain went down.

A subdued murmur went through tho bouse as the curtain fell, but there was no other sign either of approval or disapproval. It was a patient audience, though cold and growing colder. Still it yet suspended judgment.

But before the close of tho second act it was a plain, undeniable fact that the girl was a failure. Tho audience even began to thin out toward tho close of tho act and many wept out when the curtain wont down and forgot to come back again.

But long before this Harding's mood had changed and he now watched the movement of tho play with the most vivid and intense interost.

Ho listened with quivering nerves for tho first and faintest sign of applause, and whon it did not como ho endeavored to start it himself.

But it was of no avail. The actress was a failure, and tho audience knew it.
