A hostess is supposed to gi vo her attenf ion lxjth beforo and nftT an entertainment to tho enjoyment of her guests, and so natural is the instinct of hospitality that women do this to a certain extent involuntarily, hut many other times, with perfect unconscious ness, they place their truest in an awkward situation. I was forcibly reminded of this ac witnessing recently a jr.Uo a merry fellow j.iuyeu upon ins leilow guests at a largo din ner given at a beautiful country house Among tho knives, forks and spoons found lit each cover tho guests soon observed a vary singularly shaped spoon, tlic like of which not one- of all tho twenty or more assembled nau ever seen.

It chanced that the joke loving man men tioned had been assigned tho honor of es corting his hostess to tho table. Being a careful student of human nature, it did iot take him long to form the conclusion that his neighbors were lilled with a sense of the pos sibility of making a faux pas, and ho as quickly determined that somebnlv should d? this if he could effect it. WLut cared he whether it partially fell upon bis own head if he could get a joko on somebody else? So when the liah came on aud proved to bo an flalxirately made dish for which this singu lar affair might possibly bo the articled use, there was an almost imperceptible lull, n. succession of quick glances toward the head of the table, and a hesitating flutter of hands, and this joker submitted his hostess to such a running lire of questions that she was the very last person to take up her fork and calmly begin to eat. Then followed a succession of courses for which tho articles of use so obviously suggested themselves that thcro could Lo no mistake, and then camo a punch in which were frozen rum, cherries, while on tho plate which held the pretty punch glass was a little of something which afterward proved to be a strange sweet East Indian con diment. Again tho half anxious lull, and again was tho attention of the hostess en chained and diverted until some woman more bold and self confident than those about her seized an ordinary little gold spoon and straightway, like a flock of geese, every one followed the leader. Then came terrapin served individually in yiaper cases, and now Hr. Joker had his fun. His hostess was in such absolute convulsions of laughter over his funny stories that eating would have re sulted in choking had she attempted it, and by the time she dipped this new Queer sooon into the dish he had the satisfaction of feel ing that two-thirds of his friends had made an exhibition of greenness. So much did this amuse his highness that he declares some day ho shall give a dinner in which everything shall bo served in and eaten with newfangled dishes and imple ments, and tho only regrets shall be the know everything, never mistaken sort of persons. Tho moral of the contretemjis is that a hostess, thoughtful and kind, whose housekeeping appurtenances are novel and likely to be unfamiliar to friends perhaps less favored with that power for assessing new innovations, should avoid tho possibility of making them feel awkward, not of course by keeping her possessions locked away In her silver safe or her china closet, but by setting quick example of what use to put the new thing, or, as might easily have been done iu the above case, having the spoon sent to each individual at the same time and on the same plate with the paper caso holding tt terrapin. There could then have been no mistake and no discomfort, while the service would have been quite as pretty. "S. S E 2L"t in Chicago Herald j The Tendcacy to rBtruthiuluess. f But coming down to the detail of tho thing, there is no surer vay to make a child with any tendency to untruthfulness cherish the tendency than to let him know that you are aware of the tendency, and to let him know it, most of all, in any obnoxious way. It is possible that with a child with whom you have established a confiden tial intimacy, so that he considers you raore as his dear friend than as his cor rector and overseer, you can let such knowl edge of yours be known, and can become, agreeably to him, a fellow watcher with him elf over the fault. But this is not a very frequent possibility, since children's inti mates and confidants are liable to be of the same age with themselves, and it is rarely that they do not look up with a little awe and distance upon the person, whoever it may be, that is appointed to take care of their morals and behavior. But there is one course that can always be pursued, and that is never to let the child for a moment dream that you suspect him of the wrong doing or saying. Unless it ahould be absolutely necessary, for some rea son better known to yourself, that you should betray your knowledge, keep it to yourself and maintain your watchfulness, but let the cniia nope that you consider his standard of truthfulness to bo as high as auy ia the world. You can do it without either deceit or untruthfulness on your own part if you look to it with care and are precis in your statement as to what tne child ought to be rather than as to what he is. Once given a reputation to live up to, a character to maintain, and the child's pride comes to the rescue, bis sense of honor Is cul tivated to th point of giving birth to truth fulness, and thenceforward noblesso oblige, until at lost he seizes on the real beauty and jValueof truth, upon which truth itself .obliges. And on tbe otto Imad, If you would -make the little liar a big' liar and eternally 'd liar, then constantly confront him with the 'fact that be is a liar already; . He will hare mall motive for telling the truth, since all the world believes and knows that h i a liar; be sees that ha would not be credited if bt-9l$ fcratb i be wlU uot have the name w ithout the game; or.d his fat, which the tact and watchfulness of which we b.-ivo spoken might have made very different, is early scaled. Harper's Bazar. Mi Ono in often tempted to smile at somo of tho questions relating to etiquette, asked through tho columns of the press by young men and women. Tho answers are so obvi ous to ei-sons of more mature age and ex M'rienco that one cannot help wondering why thexe young people do not consult their parents, for, making duo allowance for the case of orphans, many of those who seek in formation in this way must possess fathers and mothers. Alusl it has probably never occurred to tlieso young jieisons that they should consult their parents in kindred mat ters; and viewed in this light, the subject becomes both a sad and a serious one. i iiu iaincrs anu mothers or our day are certainly to blame for this state of things; they have, in many cases, allowed their children to grow up much like unbroken colts, in tho matter of social discipline and restraint, and when they at last ljegin to see for themselves the necessity of finding .out and obeying social laws, they turn away from their parents to seek other sources of inlormation, bocauso they have never leen taught to take counsel of their natural guanliuiis. .Many mothers seem to think that if thev attend to the details of housekeeping, pro vide their children with clothing and pay their school bills, they have done all flint can bo required of them.

Florence Howe Hall in Dcmorest's Monthly. I u oiis Ions Cruelty to Children. oomo loving mothers aro very cruel to httlo girls. I rcmemler an excellent lady, nnoso children attended the same school I went to, who made their lives miserable by tacking around the skirts of every white dress the' wore a curiously beautiful'iiiece of emoroKiery. the thing in itself was charm ing, but in that year a little girls dress was plainly hemmed or tucked The other chil dren laughed at the trimming they could not appreciate, the victims wept. The mother kept on the even tenor of her way, and regu larly did up the trimming wheu it was soiled. Tho pieturesquo, the odd. the jrrotesaue. nas been fashionable now for years, but the formal was then the order of the day. Viow- mg tho distress of my friends, I then and there resolved that if I "had children when I was grown up and married," they should never lw tormented by a whim of mine. The world of small people is less tolerant than that of "grown ups." 1 have seen a "queer" lunch basket, a caprice iu the cut of an apron, a set of f ars not a; .proved of by schoolmates, torture a child s soul ; ami when a schoolgirl or school boy wants something "because the others have it," provide it if you can. A sense of being different f rom others, pe culiar, an object of ridicule, breaks a child's spirit, and it does not matter that it ought to fc-now mat what you nave civen it is some thing superior, if it does not I knew a woman who told mo that she al most hated her mother because she would cue ner nair &hort, like a boy's, at a time wnen all the other children wore a Ions braid tied with a ribbon, unless tl tortunate enough to possess "ringlets." Mary Kyle Dallas in Once a Week. Tlie "Old Baby's" Grief. What a curious thing it is to think that that wonderful new baby will turn into a commonplace old baby in a year or two that with the advent of number two his reign is over. A little girl, though she is only 2 years old, takes an interest in that new baby, feels that she must help take care of it, goes about maternally airing its garments and holding the pincushion for nurse, delights in its baths, and leasts about her baby brother before she can talk plain. But the boy that is another matter. lie scowls wheu that wrinkled piece of humanity is presented to him. and refuses to kiss it lie wants none of it. Why should it have his place on mamma's shoul der Why should he be told to go away? lie thinks as ill of it as his limited knowledge of munaane affairs will permit him to think of anything. He has been known to request that it might be "frowed away," and to call it -nassy sing;" and, indeed, his trials are very great. Life has altered signally for him. He feeis it to his heart's core, if he is made of iensi:ive stuff. It is all very well for Bridget to take him into tho kitchen and tell him to "be a nice lad, an' she'll make him a cake." He wants his mother; he never was turned out of mother's room before. His heart is full. Well for him, at this time, if ho has a grand mother ready to make him her idol, a little jealous for him as the first born. Then, indeed. his ways shortly become the ways of pleasant ness, ana lite assumes a holiday, cake, candy, iiugeroreau ana toy aspect. uut m any event that old baby has a very unhappy nay or two oeiore it, a season when know! edge of tho bitterness of life conies to him prematureby, and he understands the feelings of a dcixsed emperor. Slary Kyle Dallas in Once a Week. Let the Girls 1 torn p. ilost mothers have a dread of romps, so they lecture the girls daily on the proprieties, and exhort them to be little ladles. They like to see them very quiet and gentle and as prim as possible. The lot of such children is rather pitiable, for they are deprived of the fun aud frolic which they are entitled to. Children boys and girls must have exercise to keep them healthy. Deprive them of it, and they will fade away Lke flowers without sunshine. Running, racinsr. skiDDinc. elimh- ing these are the things that strengthen the iaus:!ts, expand the chest and build up the nerves. Tho mild dose of exercise taken iu the nursery with calisthenics or gymnastics will not invigorate the system like a good romp in the open air. Mothers, therefore, who counsel their little girle to play very quietly make a mistake. Better the laughing, rosy cheeked, romping girl than the pale, lily faced one, who is called every inch a lady. The bitter rarely breaks things.oi tears her dresses, or tires her motherVpatlencs as the former does; but, after all, . what, does the tearing and breaking amount tol It is not a wise policy to put an old head on young shoulders. Child hood is the time for childish pranks and play?. The girls will 'grow into womanhood sooi enough. Let them be children as lon-r as wiit-r ui. viiva inem plenty of fresh air and sunlight, and let them run and romp as j much as they please. Hy all means give- as hearty, healthy, romping girls, rather than pale faced little lalies, condemned from theit very cradles to nervousness, headache and similar ailment Farm and Manufacturer. Improvement of the Hair. But hair must be carefully cultivated to grow even in length, supple, silken and graceful in color. Everything is eneourag ing for the improvement of hair if time can !e given it The sumo treatment will not do for different kinds of hair by any means. Htrong, stiff, naturally moist hair needs a weekly shampooing and daily aud nightly brushing, with exposure to tho morning and evening sun, which is a great stimulant to the hair. Thin, soft, dry hair ncels tender care, but with either the first step toward improvement is thorough washing of the scalp and hair, which collects dust its entire length. To cleanse it tho various alkalies, borax, ammonia, carbonate of potash and washing soda aro used, and the strong hair will bear them, but they burn the life out of thin, dry hair. Tho Venetian ladies drew their hair through a crownless hat and let it stream over tho brim to dry, and you may follow theexample. sitting in tho sun if possible an hour. Light is a groat stimulant and preservative to hair. and it is well to oiien it when dry and let the wind blow through. The sun will cause the natural oil of tho hair to flow or the head may be held to tho llio till the dry hair feels moist. A smart brush ins: nisrht and morn ing, careful braiding before sleep, and an hour spent once a month clipping all forked ends, will insure a rapid growth of hair, if tho general health is good, without other treatment. If you want a stimulant at nisrht rub a little oil of lavender in the roots of the hair with shampoo brush. Do not irritate the scalp by hard brushing. Regular care is U'tter than overdoing. Shirley Dare. Locked l"i for Company. Among the stmngo fetiches that survive among a race otherwise civilized and refined is that of the parlor and best bedroom. These are commonly the largest, coolest and pleasantest rooms in tho house, fitted with tho most attractive furniture, cariicts and pictures and locked up for company. Was ever such folly? A man who affords him self an agreeable apartment puts himself out of it and will not let himself in unless the clergyman is there, or unless somebody ar rives from u distant city or another street. it is letter to turn the juvenile population of tho house into the parlor, to wear the best carpets to shreds, to leave finger marks on tho mantel piece, to let them jump on tho be i iu tho best room until it has no more spring in it than a restaurant chicken it is wiser to do this than to close and sanctify these apartments, involving them in solem nity, dampness and a stuffy smell. Open the blinds and windows and let the light and air in; let tho children in, too, and live there yourself. Don't have things too fine to use. If you own a piece of furniture that you think is too good for you, and that 3-ou fiud that you can t live up to it, give it to a museum nd have id put in a glass case, or, better. give it to a friend who is not afraid of it liroo-lyn IJagle.

Children of well-to-do people, educated and supposed to possess average intelligence, suf fer severely in summer from want of the most ordinary care, especially in the case of families remaining in town during tbe heated term and taking excursions to the beaches once o.- twice a week, when it is not unusual to make trial of the efficacy of salt water bathing for six-mouths-old babies, and to bring them home in the cool, chill evening, without extra wraps, or any anDarent recol lection of the fact that they are tender morsels of humanity. Janet E. Runtz-Rees in Uemorest s Monthly. Vse of a Clothes Tree, A clothes tree, as you may know, is a stiff affair, looking very much like the trunk of a tree with several short, bare branches left at t he top. If j-ou have one of these convenient articles in each bed room the masculine mem lers of your household may be induced to use tho pegs instead of hanging up their clothes on the floor. A walnut or cherry clothes tre is just the thing for a small hall where an or dinary hat rack would be in the way. Home. There are numerous wa3s to remove warts. A good, simple and harmless way is said to be the saturating of the wart with lemon juice two or three times a day for several days or a week. The wart will then disap Iear gradually aud without pain, leavina: no mark. Another way is to use common wash ing soda and apply it frequently. The best and simplest cosmetic for woman is constant gentleness and sympathy for the noblest interests of her fellow creatures. This preserves and gives to her features an indelibly gay, fresh and agreeable expression. If women would but realize that harshness makes them ugly, it would prove the best means of conversion. It you can only restrain a child from wrong conduct by hurting it, I fear j-ou have little to hope for in its future. At first it should be good from love for you. It should obey because you have proved yourself wise and loving in its eyes. After, because you have taught it to be honorable. To keep the surface of your kid gloves looking well, when you take them off smooth them out lengthwise until they have about the same outline that they have on your hand, and put them in a dry place. If the gloves are rolled together into a wad, the surface will soon present an unpleasing ap pearance. , There are many skins which redden and become irritated in summer, and when such is the case saline draughts and lemonade should be taken freely, while a wineglass of vinegar in a pint of distilled water with a little bran makes an excellent, if old fash ioned, wash. Never even scold a child for an accident the breaking of a glass, the tearing of a gar ment and listen to its explanations.
