Tlio history of events ns narrated by
various writers ofttimoa demonstrates
Iho fact that different people looking
upon the siuno BOOIIOS nnd listening to
the saino words , dllTor widely in relat
ing the true circumstances. 1 other
words , it socms natural for members j (
Iho humun family to look upon people ,
places and things through spectacles of
some peculiar color , whoso hue depends
largely upon the stnto of tlio wonror s
mind.
I hixvo been wondering if any of my
fair sisters have over encountered , tin
oxporlenro similar to the ono which
occurred tn the writer. After n short
but severe illness , of which it would ho
quito natural some little- traces might
still remain , 1 am out for an afternoon
of shopping , unit going from ono store
to another I have the pleasure of moot
ing n number of friends On boarding
the cur for down town I moot the Him
lady friend , who immediately exclaims :
"Oh ! my dear , how awfully you do
look. I would advise you to take a
change of clinialo nt onco. You'- com
plexion has Unit yellowish lingo which
indicates malaria. "
At these sympathetic words my heart
flutters faintly in protest , for I confess
that 1 have no ambition to pluy tno role
of the interesting invalid. It's quito
out of style , you know , and its no par
ticular pleasure to bo told that one has
the appuaranco of a walking tombstone ,
mud now just before starting out on this
shopping tour I have carefully noted
the reflection in my mirror and con
cluded , with considerable pleasure , that
the said rellection was pretty healthy
looking. But ray friend says I look sick
so , after all , I toll myself I must have
boon m'stakcn about that rolloction.
Ono can't bo a judge of one's own ap
pearance. These unpleasant cogitations
are interrupted by the sight of a friend
who has just returned from the east
nnd docs not know I have boon ill. IIo
shakos hands In. o cordial iminnor and
says :
"Why ; how charming vou are looking
to.layl'f
"Hut , " I reply in a hesitating way , "I
have boon sick. '
"Well , if you have , no ono would sus
pect it ; vou are the very picture of
health. Your eyes shine like stars , nnd
that white veil is exceedingly bocoin-
ing. "
At those llattoring words I begin to
cheer up and to conclude that I do not
look us if I were in the last stage of the
gandocs in spite of the convincing words
of my kind lady friend , and somehow
that naughty li'ttlo cap of mine slips
back a little further oil my curls , and
conscious of a jaunty air , my stops
quicken to keep pace with a happier
mind. Bye and bye I fenl a gentle tap
on the arm , and turning around am
happy to discover a swcot young girl ,
and from , her rosebud lips she greets
mo thusly :
"Why , you poor dear , I can see that
you are still on the sick list. Actually ,
your dear face has a ghastly look. * t
think you did wrong to vontu'ro out to-
day. " I
I can oflfor no denial of this serious
charge ; in fuel I am rapidly becoming
liowildorod as to how I do look , anyway ,
But passing on I enter a store and am
soon at the counter of a favorite clerk
( gentleman. )
"How do you do today ? " is the ploasv
ant salutation. "I never saw you look
ing bettor ; in fact you never look Dad ,
even when sick. But it seems to mo
that the roses in your cheeks nro fresher
than usual. "
I nra too bewildered to reply and be
gin to suspect that these .rapid and won
derful changes are duo to some unseen
nnd mlschovous fairy sprite who is play
ing a naughty trick with her magic
fairy wand , which , mayhap , she waves
before my defenseless countenance and
transforms it at will from round and
rosy to palo and sickly.
Did you over look into ono of those
comirnl mirrors , so arranged that when
you turn it lengthwise you look very
thin and angular and the features dark
nnd melancholyV But turn the mirror
sideways and your relloction is imme
diately transformed into a very short ,
1 rolly-polly and jolly looking individual.
_ _ _ _ "Do my friends look at mo through ono
of those magic mirrors ? " I nsk myself.
Surely the change cannot bo a'll in
poor little mo. But , ahl there comes a
haiidsomo woman , a dear friend , and I
tun ready for the loving kiss ( In fact I
inn about ready for imytblng in the way
of surprises ) nnd the anxious and so
licitous tone of the gentle voica which
says :
"No need to toll mo , dear , that von
are not well ; looks are enough. Tlioso
poor eyes are absolutely glassy. I suppose -
pose you have had to take Unit horrid
BtulT belladonna , have you not ? "
"Yos , " I faintly murmur , "about two
months ago. "
"Well , " oontinuos my folr friend ,
"thoy say H makes tlio oyns brilliant
but If the oll'oct in your eyes is brilliant
J can't siy : that I admire it. "
But somehow I recall
to mind the ro-
inark of the gentleman friend who told
mo that my oycs tvoro "like stars. "
What a contrast of opinions. After the
usual adieus to this fair consoler , I de
termined to call upon a gentleman
friend , in whose integrity of opinion I
have hitherto hud reason to believe , and
obtain , if possible , some solution of those
mysterious changes , and say at once :
"Do I look sick ? "
"Look slckl Well , I should say not. I
Look us if you had never soon a sick |
day. "
"Well , my friend , I can't believe you.
All my lady friends gay I do , while all
the gentlemen say I don't. Now Is it
not it fact that all you gontlomou.liko to
Hatter a li\dy \ and try to make her happy
bv , the administration of a little 'tally ? ' "
IIo laughingly denies the charge nnd
Bays , "I can explain that to you in a
minute. One woman never wants an
other to think tliut slio In looking pretty.
They are all jealous of ono another , you
sec. "
, "Shame ! " I indignantly exclaimed.
"Don't you dare ncuiua us of such sol-
flshncss. I cannot allow you to bring
such a charge to our door. I admire a
pretty woman us much as I do a hand
some iniin.1
* 'Oi | ! well , mnybo vou do , " ho replies.
"But that ratio is about 1 to 1,000 , for
na n ruin they can't bo said to admire
ono another. "
"That is what ono gentleman thinks ; ;
f but I hud rather believe that during >
that afternoon of shopping 1 changed in
looks as a chameleon inuy change his
hue , than to admit that charge of sol- )
jlshness aguiiibt my fair sisters. "
S By the way , did you over look upon
vour rollectiou in the d-jpths of an old-
fnshlpned bi'ttbs door Unob ? Just try it.
The effect is awfully funny. It always
recalls to ray memory the story ol a
king whose only ctilld was a oeautlful
princess , aud who , for fuitr that she
should become vain or make a foolish
marrlngo , banished from the cas'.lo all
the looking glasses and nil the men ex
cept an ugly old couch man nnd the
king's fool In his pointed little green
cap , hung with tinkling brass bolls for ,
thought ho , a princess will never admire
a coachman or a fool. But , alas for
excess of caution , the pretty princess
found a brass door knob , and polishing
it to I a liicrh state of reflecting brilliancy
gazed with delight upon her broad nnd
smiling face , and to end all fell in love
and eloped with the coachman. ? No.
she was not so modern aud preferred
the cumi'iiur little fool. And then you
know how the romantic Indian maiden
braids her long , black tresses by the
aid of the deep pool in the wild wood.
How wretched she must bo in the winter
tor when her looking glass Is frozen
eVe .
oVoIi
In conclusion I will say that the re
flection which is returned iy your own
faithful mirror is the best ono to rely
upon , So do not allow your peace of
mind to bo disturbed by tlio opinions of
different paoplo who look at you
through spectacles of varied shapes
and colors. GliACK II.
"What wo have trot to do , girls"s.iys
a pretty young woman in the New York
Times , " 1 * to make war on those delight
ful baU-holor apartment houses. A man
called on mo last night who went to live
in ono last snrinir. IIo is full of on-
thuslnym yet , and I don't wonder. The
ono ho lives in is a big house on Fifth
avenue tlrvt was the former rosldonco
of Mrs. . When her husband died
she disliked to llvo there alone , nnd had
it made over into batcholor suitus.
Then she put her butler , who had mar
ried her maid , in charge , and the place
is llllcd with mon who llvo altogether
too dolltihtfully.
"My friend snys nobody over leaves
unless ho dies or gets married , and they
evidently lake the greatest pains to
avoid either misfortune. Mr. L. has , ho
says , a pretty parlor , with open lire ,
rugs and all that sort of thing , and a
bedroom and largo bath and dressing
room , and ho hasn't a care in the xvorld.
IIo never knows anything about his
laundry , for instance. Ills drawers aud
presses are always lllled with fresh
linen , of whoso gathering and washing
bo has boon quite ignorant. A
stituli is never needed , for it is
always taken before ho discovers the ne
cessity. His clothes are looked after
by the butler , who sends them away to
bo pressed or sponged whenever it seems
to him proper. His hats are always
brushed , and oven his umbrellas are
kept trim and taut ready to bo grabbed
up hastily. If ho is going away , ho
wires up from the ollico , and his basr or
ti unk is packed nnd sent olV to the sti-
tlon ; when ho comes back , his luggage
goes to the house and ho goes down
town ; when ho roaches his room again ,
the trunk has vanished and his belong
ings are all in place.
, "Everything ho sends to the house Is
paid for on arrival , nnd once n month
an itcmi/.cd bill is presented to him and
iliat is the end of it. Ho gets up when
ho pleases , touching his boll when ho
does so , and when ho is ready a tempt
ing little breakfast is sproud in his par
lor. Ho dines when ho chooses. 'I am
looking forward to the winter nights,1
ho remarked last evening , 'when , with
the couch drawn up to the lire , my book
and my pipe , I shall forgot the cold and
storm without in the cheer and comfort
within. ' What do thinlc of that senti
ment from a man who is a good dancer ?
Isn't ' it all too ideal and dreadful ? " And
the other girls looked very solemn and
said that it was , ,

It is sent to the fair fiancee by girl
friends , relatives and rclatives-to-Do as
soon as the engagement cards are re
ceived. Whore the family connections
are far reaching the lucky damsel
stands an oxcollant chance of securing a
very < valuable collection.
Whllo unique fans , silver comfit boxes *
bearing the entwined monogram of bride
and groom , antique shoo and 'belt
buckles , lucky coins threaded with
dolicuto strands of gold , horseshoe mir
rors and artistic girdles are all in order ,
yet the articles most prized are speci
mens of old family plate and china.
The moro ancient the offering Iho more

of good lineage , a patent of birth.
At * i recent souvenir exhibit the
choicest pieces of ware displayed a de
sign which commemorated the landing
of Lafayette nt Castle Garden. Not very
long ago a collector olTorod to the Vir
ginian dame owning the sot 810 n plato ,
but she refused to part with her historic
art treasures until the betrothal of a fa
vorite niece enticed from their seclusion
some of the handsomest specimens.
Karo bits of Delft , Derby , Worcester ,
Sevres and Lowostoft are brought from
the china closet of grandmother , sister
aunt and cousin in honor of those occa
sions. Cups as fragile ua an eggshell and
looking us if they must have graced
the table of soiuo ancestress long before
the Boston tea party play the part of
souvenirs with a charm all their own.
With each gift is sent a history , which

daintily bound souvenir book , while the
heirloom , along with others of its kind ,
is sot upon the velvet-covered shelves of

Washington society has n valuable tic-
niitsition in Mine , do Lomo , wife of the
now Spanish minister , Henry Dtipuy do
Lome. She not only possesses in rare
measure tbo beauty of her countrywomen -
women , but , with a husband whoso
social and literary qualifications are oo oo
notaulo , her homo is likely to provo the
center of a very brilliant circle this win-
tor. Senor do Lomo isji man of pro i-
found sympathy with all oharitablo en i- ii
terprises , and while at Montevideo
founded the Spanish hospital , raising in
a Binglo year $50,000 In its behalf. Ills
wife Is distinguished for charitable impulses isi
pulses , and , although a woman i
of fashion and beauty , loses no
opportunity to promote enterprises
looking to the welfare of the
unfortunate. While at Buenos Ayres
she conducted a memorial festival which
resulted in securing $0,000 for a charita
ble object. Minister do Lome Is a mini
of most engaging miuuior and of great ,
dignity , without the slightest proton-
sion , being as courteous and tronhil ito
his inferiors aa to his equals. ; Ho speaks
Kugllsh with great fluency and is a master -
tor of French , Ho Is active and alert s111
tno performance of nil public duties , and
it is regarded as fortunate that ho has

Kvory young man , as well as old , is
interested in the match box , if not from
a smoker's point of view , at least from I u
fooling that it Is something always ser
viueabla The boat adapted aud most >
iuihlonablu designs at this time are
)1those illustrating hunting scones. The
fishing rod and kinship have been put
by , the gun , the setter and the wild
Idgoose supplanting them.
Apart from nickel the material lu -
ally used for match boxes has boon ll
ver , but a formidable rival has appeared
in finely figured dark steel , the body bo-
lug of that uiotal , the hinges , snap JOud
\
cover ot silver or gold. In the moro
expensive kind there Is a horseshoe or
bed of rubles , with an olToct nltotjothor
gorgeous. The shapes vary from the
shell pattern Id n plain satin finish. The
absence of elaborate decontlon is amply
atoned for by the great durability of the
receptacle.
The hostess who cannot offer her i
guests thu delightsome privileges which I
only a secluded nook can supply is sadly
Inciting In tholtrt of ontort.ilnlng. She
must own ono spot , no matter how tiny
her home , where her feminine frlonds
may take surreptitious snoo/.o , flirt with
the last adorer or cut the company if It
is not to their mind. A softly cush
ioned tote-a-toto speaks eloquently of
two souls ; the tinted silken draperies
for daylight and the waxen t.ipora that
dispel the shadows are wonderfully bo-
coming. A llitlo stand holds n few
choice books and ontrravlnga , while
upon the corner bracket a sweet , faint
odor rises from two JOSH slicks that
smoulder in a silver holder. In a big
blin jar vivid blossoms add their blight
beauty to the dainty alcove. Is it any
wonder , then , that the "cozy corner '
has become an institution in all well
appolntod houses ?

If you are thin and want to put on
flesh , for breakfast and supper have
something nourishing and savory , plain
brown broad , for Instance , the slices
browned In fresh butter on a griddle ,
which makes an nppotlzor of the good
old dainty. Demand goo.l , lean baked
potatoes , to bo eaten with untloniablo
cream or rich gravy , which is llosh-
forming fooJ , and you inny indulge In
made dishes us you pioaso , provided
they are well made. All thin people
wishing to grow plum ] ) should begin
with simple , easily digested food , al
most as if they were invalids. Fresh
raw cggn , beaten with port wine or
sherry or with orange juice , or.two or
threo'drops of oil of cinnamon hi a toa-
sptiotiful of bruudy , are very nourishing
and give strength lo the digestion , so
that stronger food can bo attacked. If
care Is taken to select very uigostiblo
food it is true that the moro ono cats
thu moro one can cat , and the system
may thus bo led into vigor und strength.
In choosing n trussoau for it
amounts to that for a debutante ,
mothers and daughters should boar in
inlud that simplicity is now considered
a necessity among fashionublo maidens ;
and tint it is in the perfection of cut
and absolute freshness of and minute at
tention to detail that fortune's favorite
may bo singled out , and by no moans for
the richness of material or for costly
trimming. Indued , it is deemed dis
tinctly vulgar for a. girl to "ovordross , "
and in this , as in many other "signs of
the times , " it may bo soon that the
world is growing wiser and th it the
American standard of what is proper
and right is improving.

Gasoline will remove spots from the

week in some antiseptic solution ,

washes and pastes should also bo kept
carefully covered. "

moirs and reminiscenced with , great
frankness. On ono occasion , ' ho says ,
she was actually embarrassed by the late
king of Spain. Ho was conducting her

present queen. Every four or live seconds
ends his majesty called the singer's at
tention to bomopicturoor trinket and exclaimed -

Before the cold weather comes on , and
colds , sore throats and nil the plhor at
tendant oirils of our variable climate are
fairly with us , mothers should see that
their children accustom themselves to
the use of cold water on the throat and
chost. A vigorous washing and scrub
bing with cold water every morning ,
tollowod by friction with a coarse towel ,
will do much to prevent any throat
trouble later on. A child should also bo
tausrht to gargle the throat well with
cold water every tlmo it brushes its
tooth.

Union P.iclllo council is nothing If not
progressive nnd the members of that fra
ternal body surely deserve success lu their
oflorts to nrouso enthusiasm among the
members. As an inconlivo to members to
como out and meet the other brethren u
series of social entertainments for members
and their lady friends will ba given during
thu season , these parties to bo given on tlio
third Tuosdiiy of each month nt tlio council
rooms in tho'Uti : : building. The liwt event
will bo n high llvo party Tuesday evening of
ihls week , to which , every member is ear
nestly invitod.
Ono thing is certain , the Union Paclllo
council will never ncuiu give a picnic in Sep
tember. July Is seemingly tno month of pic
nics and the boys will prollt by their experi
ence.
ence.Why not have a Royal Arcanum night this
winter In ono of the opera houses or Exposi
tion ! Lot nit the societies band together
and have such a rousing mooting that the
membership cannot help but grow. Have
some good speeches , some good music , nnd
the rest will como naturally. Surely this is
worth thinking about.
It would bo Interesting to know how many
candidates j'loncor council initiated during
tlio past year. Koforrod to Secretary Ma-
granc.
The Hoynl Arcanum , iio.xt to the Ancient
Order of United Workmen , has ttio largest
membership of any fraternal organization in
