    FOOLISH GIRLS.
HETTY girls often seem to take
P
special pains to impress upon us
J- their utter ignorance of all do
mestic matters , except such ornamental
details as the arrangement of the flow
ers , or the making of dainty embroid
eries , etc. , for the adornment of the
house. By some curious mental proc
ess they seem to have arrived at the
conclusion that the best way of getting
a husband is to show how utterly in
capable they are of being good house
wives , and thus making a man's home
happy and comfortable to him.
Showy accomplishments alone may
attract some men , but not the best of
them , and the girl who wishes to be
happily married should remember that
a sensible man looks upon his wife as
his business partner a loved one , it is
rtrue , but a business partner none the
loss and Uiat her part is to make the
house as pleasant and as ch inning as
possible with the money he provides
for Hie purpose.
There is small encouragement to a
husband to work and save , if by her
carelessness or ignorance his wife
squanders his earnings ; so every
would-be wife should try to become
skilled in domestic matters , so as to
take her right place as the mistress of
the hou.Sc- immediately after marriage.
If girls were only more practical and
domesticated , men would not so often
light .sliy of the responsibilities of mar
riage , and connubial quarrels caused by
bad and extravagant housekeeping
would IH > much less frequent. New

Home Vampires.
The man who leaves the brejikfast
table and enters the public ways with
the shame of a home conflict upon him ,
in which he has contended for his own
side of the question , refusing to yield
his point to the very last , will not be
likely ( o ' * * ar the appearance of a
knight : anii if he has submitted meek
ly to injustice , and has felt conscious
jf hcinir misunderstood , if he has the
smallest germ of manhood in his ua-
iure. he must writhe under the treat
ment , and cannot step like a conqueror
go forth with the courage necessary
to win great things in the world. Such
i one must wear the look of the van-
liiished , no matter how loyal his heart
anay be or how strong his original pur-
[ Htse. for true service.
And what often makes the condition
more pitiful is the fact that the hus
band 5s large-souled , willing to give
more than he receives , ready to make
sacrifices of his own ease , pleasure and
r-omfort generally while trying to serve
his precious purpose for a future ful
fillment. Though he closes his eyes
against the signs of selfishness in the
woman whom lie chose as the fairest
ind sweetest , and best he c-innol but
feel the awful despair of def-.at , all on
account of the fascinating unprin
cipled woman whom he toolto share
his life. The woman who < an thus
bring defeat to a high-souled unselfish
man is the "vampire" that 'ias ' been
portrayed with such uuerrinj ; skill by
Kipling.
At What Atic Should Girl , NVcd ?
It has come to pass that the modern
girl marries later in life than her pred
ecessor. She feels that there is no hur
ry and takes plenty of tine to look
jibout her. The healthy-minded would
generally prefer to marry , but just at
-what age is somewhat hard to deter
mine. It seems that the only possible
answer to the question is ale the most
obvious , namely , when she arrives at
years of discretion. This n'lappens at
various ages , according to ( lie character
iiml capacity of the girl. Some girls are
sensible women at 19 , some are never
sensible women at all.
The Amelia Sedley sort jf girl .is a
survival of the chattel peiiod. and as
ishc never acquires the sort of discre
tion which is a safe conduct through
life it makes no difference at what age
she marries. She is the clinging sort of
< Tcaturc who looks about for a man to
lean upon and generally finds one , for
men in theory still prefer her. They
sentimentalize on the subject in their
youth and talk about the ivy and the
oak. When they are captured , if they
do not suffer the fate of th < ? oak smoth
ered by the ivy. but survive to tell the
tale , they still cling to their theory ; but
they spend the leisure hours of their
middle ages at their clubs.--Tho Geutle-

Train Boy's View of Clvl > Women.
The traditional train boy who has
"been wont to offer chewing gum to fair
passengers , and newspapers to the men ,
evidently considers the nu tlern woman
somewhat of an enigma Not many
moons ago a lively party ' , f club women -
en were en route to .1 convention when
an interested spectator at a little sta
tion stepped up to the uniformed youth
.and curiously asked about ( he crowd.
"Don't know , " gloomily grumbled the
train vender. "They say they're liter-
siry. but 1 don't believe 'em. Not one
lias bought a book. They just talk and
lUk and talk. " Woman's Home Com

Swcepinjr Not .co Simple.
Before any sweeping is done , there
must be preparation. Upholstered fur
niture must be moved into another
room. Ornaments must be put under
.cover. If stuffed chairs are allowed to
remain In the room where the sweeping
is done they collect all the dust swept
from the floor , and they redistribute
this to the air when they in turn are
dusted , says the New York magazine ,
Sanitation and Hygiene. Windows
should be opened. Ou the carpet or rug
damp but not wet pieces of paper
should be sprinkled. They keep the
dust from flying too freely and they
also give a bright touch to the colors of
the carpet. The sweeping should be
from the corners toward the middle of
the room , and in the middle the dust
should be gathered , taken away and
burned.
If the floor is a stained or varnished
one it should be swept first with a soft
brush. Then the bristle broom should
be covered with a flannel bag , which
will protect the floor from being
scratched , and it should be dusted with
that. The stuffed furniture should re
ceive its weekly beating and dusting in
a separate room , and should be moved
back only when all dust has settled.
Bridesmaids on the "Wane.
Some people , iccalling the weddings
of a few years ago , arc loud in lamenta
tion over the dwindling away of the
bridesmaid noticeable in many of the
recent events. It was formerly thought
absolutely necessary that a bride
should be attended by at least ten or
twelve of her girl friends , in costumes
chosen for them quite regardless of in
dividual complexions , and looking not
by any means their best and sweetest
in the rather trying circumstances , says
the Philadelphia Times. The more
sensible bride of to-day has opened her
eyes to the fact that she can trip just
as gayly to the altar with only a sister
or two and a pair of small pages as a
suitable background , and that she ap
pears to much greater advantage when
not smothered and quite obliterated
from view by a dense surrounding of
female loveliness.
After a baby is 3 months old , before
t. is put to bed at night , it should be
thoroughly undressed to the skin and
rubbed ; its muscles manipulated just
the same as in the morning after the
bath. This gives a passive exercise and
the little person gains stimulant to its
nuscles , which prepares it for the
light's rest. After the massage give
the baby a sip or two of water , for
there are very few babies who are not
thirsty at night ; and if it is feeding
time Jet the child have its nourishment ,
ind expect it to keep its eyes shut and
observe repose through the whole of
the next eight hours.
There is a modern theory about
babies going to sleep all alone , and
lever being rocked to sleep , and that
singing and story-telling is all unneces
sary at this evening hour in the nur
sery ; but it seems to me a mother loses
i good deal out of her life when she
fails to enjoy the half hour just before
the baby or the little child goes to sleep ,
when she can rock it in her own arms
and sing sweet lullabies and whisper
baby stories.
One never knows quite how early a
child receives impressions ; and the
mother or the nurse who fails in an
effort to give an impression to the baby
of a loving All-Father in the earliest
months of its life , fails in her higher
duty. No baby that has become con
scious of attention is too young to have
said in its ear each night , "Now I lay
me down to sleep , " and so forth.
The bed of a baby should have a hair
mattress , cotton sheets , woolen blan
kets and a little cheesecloth comforter
over all , taking care that the child is
not covered too heavily in a warm
room.
Chinese Minister's Wife.
Mine. Wu , the wife of the Chinese
minister at Washington , is a great fa
vorite at the capital. She and her hus
band are very punctilious about re
turning visits , but when , at one at-
home day this winter , 1,350 persons
came , they were in a good deal of a
quandary what to do. Mine. Wu is
about four feet tall or short and her
feet are so tiny that she leans on her
husband's arm when she walks. She
has splendid jewels , and an especially
fine assortment of headgear. She
speaks English and is a welcome vis
itor at the White House. She has a
7-year-old sou.
Sixty-five Very Great Swells.
Lady Curzon , vicereine of India , has
received another distinction from
Queen Victoria in having conferred up
on her the decoration of the imperial
order of the crown of India. Mr.
Leiter's daughter is the sixty-fifth
member of the order. Of royalists , be
sides Queen Victoria and the Princess
of Wales , such personages as the Em
press Frederick of Germany , Princess
Charles and Princess Thyra of Den
mark , the Duchess of Edinburgh and a
score of other princesses have been
decorated.
An Actress' Millinery.
What a popular actress spends on
millinery is not generally known to the
world , and therefore the hat bill of
Mile. Jane Pieruy of the Folies Dra-
matiques , Paris , is of interest. This
lady was some time ago sued by a
modiste of the Rue de la Paix before
the civil tribunal of the Seine for the
sum of SSio for hats supplied between
the beginning of September and the end
of December , 1S9G. This means that
the hatting of Mile. Jane Pieruy cost
$210 a mouth.

especially attractive
as a spring and sum

method of making up. It was sketched in
blue and white , and its blue plain silk shir
red and banded with blue ribbon made a
very pretty trimming. It would be well
to use chiffon on a scarlet gown , and band
with black to match the black rings.
Women have been wearing cloth so gen
erally that some hesitate again to take up
silk , while others welcome its return. Yet
careful dressers .seem likely to wear cloth
a great deal this spring for outing , for
rough and for strict tailor-mades , and for
this illustration was made to stand out as
a brand new one. It was of warm reddish
brown , its bodice was a novel eton , and
the trimming of butter colored cloth bands
closely braided with black was particular
ly effective. Beneath the jacket were a
yoke and front of white satin covered with
butter colored lace.
Poplin and all kindred weaves are espe
cially adapted for riding in any open vehi
cle , because they shed the dust and do not
crush. Cotton and wool coverts are also
good for this purpose. The more elabo
rately dressed of the two riders in this pic
ture displays a gown of heavy black taf
feta trimmed with quillings of narrow
black satin ribbon. The revers of the
jacket were faced with white , and a dain
ty show of white front and stock tie made
for the present a pretty costume , and one
that will be equally pretty until late in
the fall. The last of these pictured
dresses was heavy blue linen , of grayish
tint , perfectly plain except for a little
knotted braiding in wash sotache. Collar
and narrow front were white , cuffs were
of white linen and the skirt , while perfect
ly plain and fitting close over the hips , had
plenty of fullness under the flat folds of
the back.

Secret Signals.
Perhaps the old saying that there is
honor among thieves might be more
truly read , there is confederacy among
thieves. By a pre-arranged code , the
street thief can convey to his confeder
ate a signal of warning , or an invitation
to aid him in some subtle scheme of
confiscation. By way of example , the
touching of a particular button on the
coat will warn a coadjutor in crime
that a detective is watching him. An
apparently innocent movement of the
hat or cap is sufficient to inform au
alert assistant that a purse has been
stolen , and that he is required to take
possession of it until the peril of dis
covery is passed. Whistling is a Ian-

dressy costumes for all occasions , even
evening and elaborate dinner gowns. That
surely means that silks will soon return to
stylishness , so now's a chance to lead the
fashion. Then , too , even she who shows
her allegiance to cloth will find it pleasant
to posses a new dress of summer silk , and
everyone must be glad to see so big an as
sortment of the lighter weight silks and
silk weave or mixture materials. Surahs ,
corded silks , India silks of all varieties in
wash kinds , and a large number of new
taffetas are to be had. Among the new
est color effects in these is the ombre strip
ed stuff that is , shaded stripes of the
same color. Other very pretty results are
secured in Roman stripes. The pale col
ors blend charmingly , though the effect
may be a little light as early in the season
as May. Other handsome effects come in
combinations of rich colors. It was one
of these that the artist chose from the
striped array , and her picture of it ap
pears at the right in the first of these large
pictures. The material was a silk weave
alpaca , lilac ground striped in blues and
violet. A yoke extending out over the
sleeves was in the lightest shade of the
dress goods and was dotted with blue.
This gown was typical of most of the
striped ones in that it was made without
great elaboration. Brightly striped goods
are better so , being conspicuous enough
without fanciful trimmings. Any woman
of good taste will be convinced of this on
seeing some such material made up after
some highly wrought model. The latter
may do for the more subdued striped
stuffs , but even there simplicity i.s safer.
If you really prefer cloth , as so many
do , whenever'you can wear it , there are
some lovely weaves to choose from.
Smooth surface and melton coloring offer
a wide scope , while tea color , lilacs , grays
of ail shades , pale tans , blues , scarlets and
all reds are not only offered but are much
worn. If you don't want a light color ,
then coffee , tobacco or chocolate brown
seems the usual resort , though greens are
selected by those who find them becoming ,
and black is always good form. The lat
est of these dresses , especially if the
weave or color of the material bespeaks
newness , are made very simply. Of course ,
some bit of novelty in cut or finish is wel
comed if it is not too pronounced , and if
well chosen is sure to be the gown's best
characteristic. It is in tfie cut of jacket
that this point is most often secured , and
it was acre that the gown remaining in
guage in itself. The shrewder section
of shop-robbers and till-thicves have
confederates who watch the street ,
and , in the event of impending danger ,
signal to them by a clear , flute-like
whistle , which often enables the thief
to evade arrest. A provincial police
man saw a light in the window of a
large mansion , and suspecting burglary
pluckily resolved to effect a capture.
As he approached the dwelling he
heard the cry of the night-owl , repeated
thrice. On entering the building by an
open window lie found that the bur
glars had been and gone , with a goodly
share of spoil. A confederate had evi
dently marked his approach , and given
the warning signal.
Princess Not a Goott Sitter.
Shortly after the marriage of me
Prince of Wales to the beautiful Alex
andra of Denmark a number of artists
requested permission to sketch the
princess for elaborate portraits of her
youthful royal highness. Frith par
ticularly , being court painter \ \ \ the
time , was much interested in getting
the princess to pose for his picture of
the marriage. But the lady was a very
poor sitter , resenting keeping still.
Poor Mr. Frith in despair appealed to
the prince.
"You should scold her , " said he , with
a laugh. Mr. Gibson , the sculptor , had
the same sad story to tell of his experi
ence .
"There , my dear. " remarked the
newly made husband , "you see , you sit
properly neithei to Mr. Gibson nor Mr.
Frith. "
"I do. I do. " exclaimed the princess
emphatically , then turning to the art
ists she added poutiugly : "You are a
couple of very bad men. "

IMPRESSIONS.
fhe touch of a hand , the glance of an eye ,
Or a word exchanged with a passer-by ;
A glimpse of a face in a crowded street
And afterward life is incomplete ;
A picture painted with honest zeal
And we lose the old for the new ideal ;
A chance remark or a song's refrain ,
And life is never the same again.
An angered word from our lips is sped
Or a tender word is left unsaid.
And one there is who , his whole life loig ,
Shall cherish the brand of a burning
wrong ;
A line that stares up from an open page ,
A cynic smile from the lips of age ,
A glimpse of loving seen in a play ,
And the dreams of our youth are swept
away.
A friendly smile and love's cmberiug
spark
Leaps into flame and illumines the dark ;
A whispered "Be brave" to our fellow
men
And they pick up the thread of life
again.
Thus never an act or a word or thought
But that with unguessed importance is
. fraught ,
For small things build up eternity
And blazon the ways for a destiny.
" EL CHATTO. "
the house of "El Chatto , " ex-
IN - of Madrid and present
"Torero before the Mexican pub
lic , " there was dire dismay , owing to
the low state the very low state of
the family exchequer.
" " "the snub
"El Chatto" ( meaning
nose" ) had just finished taking his
morning chocolate and "pan dulce , " as
sisted by his pretty wifeD6nna Lolita ,
who also had been a member of the
noble army of bull-fighters in fact ,
first female espada in the big ring at
Seville but this was a secret.
A career that might possibly have
been glorious had been cut short by the
selfishness of "El Chatto , " who had
loved her , married her , and taken her
away from the old world to the new
the rich country of Mexico where a
bull-lighter was a prince.
Successful , feted , and honored in
Cuba and afterward in Mexico , "El
Chatto's" prosperity had not lasted
long , for soon had come the edict that
bull fighting in Mexico must stop.
This morning , the day before the bull
fight honoring the fiesta of San Marcos ,
investigation revealed one big piece and
fourteen copper centavos. Not enough
to pay coach hire even !
Here was a pretty mess ; no wonder
that "El Chatto" leisurely and calmly
spoke every naughtly and lurid word
that came to his mind during the next
half-hour.
At last , out of breath. "El Chatto"
paused and glared about him , as
though in search of some one to fight.
Donna Lolita smiled at him sweetly ,
removing the cigaret from her pretty
lips as she murmured : "Have you fin
ished , little Snub Nose ? "
A shrug of the shoulders was her hus
band's reply.
"Then listen , O most worthless hus
band , for I have a plan a plan most
magnificent , thereby AVO will make a
fortune sufficient silver peso , one 50-
cent piece , one 10-cent. "
"This is how it is , " she pursued , blow
ing a ring of smoke into her husband's
face ; "the impresairo pay you little-
very little only a hundred silver dollars
lars is it not so ? "
"Si , that is all the pigs ! " growled the
torero ; "and after this there will be no
fight until 'holy week' no more
money ! "
"Fues , then we will make more out
of them much more. Listen , marido
mio ; this is the plan.
The gloom clears away from the
house of the matador ; there continues
rejoicing all that day. "El Chatto" and
his pretty wife have a most jovous
comeda , and afterwards lay their hr-ads
together on the subject of The morrow's
Gght and a special Spanish cosjtume
that Lolita is to wear one of old Se-
villa all rose pink and Spanish man
tilla , with a pink rose in hr-r blue black
hair , this latter being another of the
mysteries ; in Mexico few ladies ever
wear the costume of old Spain it is as
much worn out , passe , hero as the
patches and powder and hoops of the
revolutionary days are in Anglo-Saxon
lands.

She is trembling from her dainty
head down to her tiny , silk-bowed
Spanish slippers all the time that "El
Largo" is torturing the furious , paw
ing bull with his sharp banderillas.
She clasps her hands tightly together ,
as , finally , tiring of the banderilla work
which , in fact , has been somewhat
long drawn out , "on account of the
matador , 'El Chatto's , ' sudden sickness
and faintness' the public of the sunny
side begin to clamor for "El matador !
Mate el toro ! Que venga el matador *
El matador ! "
The gate swings open at last , and
' "El Largo" still teases the bull as "El
Chatto" moves forward siowly , and
bows first to the President and then to
the public. In spite of his magnificent
silver and violet costume , he looks
deathly ill his face is white and
drawn , and under his eyes great black
rings show , that extend almost half
way down his face.
But "El Chatto" is game , if he is sick
perhaps the presence of his wife in
spires him with fresh courage , for he
unsheathes his bright , keen sword , nods
briefly to "El Largo , " who gets out of
the way , smiles once at Lolita. who is ,
beneath her mantilla , far whiter than
he , then makes a tantalizing movement
at the bull.
After all , no one can fight a bull as
does the Spanish matador. At least ,
during "El Chatto's" splendid work of
the next seven minutes that is what the
people think. All of them are on their'
| feet shrieking , some breathless with
delight ! Silver dollars and hats and
flowers rain down into the ring , but
"El Chatto" has no time to bow his
thanks ; he is too busy.
On her feet , as is everybody else , for
that matter , Lolita is watching every
motion , her heart beating in great
leaps , and so excited and wrought up
now that she has forgotten to feel
afraid. Bull and matador are just un
derneath her , and twice her husband
has glanced at her significantly ; she is
watching with her heart in her ej'es.

the furious impetus of his last charge
