A Lessoo io Flirtation
RS. BOVRIL was at home not
to all the world , but to the se
lect few who happened to in- ,
terest her In that particular year of j
'grace. There were no old friends |
among them. Mrs. Bovrill had few
old friends , and she did not encourage
them. She used to say they were like
old servants , and became impudent as {
time went on. Besides , she liked a
change , and the men well , it oulj * took
an intelligent man three weeks to find
her out.
There were usually about four wom
en in the room , and they were careful
ly chosen for their ugliness and pa
tient dispositions. Every one said she I
hired them to irritate the men and in
crease their longing to escape to her
side. It was certainly an understood
thing at Mrs. Bovril's that only one
man was to sit by her at a time. She
gave each one his turn , if he deserved
it , and expected him to serve his seven
years cheerfully in another corner of
the room. That they were content to
do this is a proof of the wonderful fas
cination she exercised over her ad
mirers.
To-day , however , the young men
rubbed their eyes and stared. What
was ilrs. Bovril thinking of ? There
was a young and beautiful woman lan
guidly sipping tea on Mrs. Bovril's own
particular sofa ; she must have got in
by accident , or force , or guile. Their
hostess would never have been so fool
ish as to ask a possible rival.
They were mistaken , however. She
had been the subject of .a special invi
tation. The fact was Mrs. Paunceforte
Deane was there to learn. She had
not long been married , and had lived
"YOU KEALLY MUST HAVE EO1CE AD-
M1REUS. "
in the country all her life. Mrs. Bov
ril had taken pity on her ignorance ,
and had asked her round to show her
how things ought to be done.
"My dear , " she had said some days
previously , "you really must have
some admirers. "
"I have my husband , " Mrs. Deane
had replied with provoking innocence.
"Your husband ? Yes , of course. So
have I. But if your husband is the
only man who is going to admire you ,
you will soon lose your attractiveness
in his eyes. Men like their wives to
be run after. It gives them the pride
of possession. They like to think that
they have got what other men are
longing for ? "
"And what other men may take from
them. Is it not rather dangerous , Mrs.
Bovril ? "
. "How seriously you take everything ,
child. There is no harm. "
"Not in playing with fire ? "
"Fire ? Fiddlesticks ! Come round
on Tuesday. I have a few people in.
You will like them , I expect. They are
rather different to the ordinary people ,
and I don't want all of them for my
self. "
Mrs. Deane had laughed. But she
was a girl , and liked something new ,
BO she came round.
Mrs. Bovril was kind , gave her the
second best man and the best seat ,
and told all the others how charming
she was.
"Fresh from the country , you know ,
Algy , " she murmured , 'where all the
beautiful cows are , and buttercups and
things. Isn't she lovely ? "
Algy was fool enough to say "Yes. "
so he was packed off before his time
was up , and he made things so un
pleasant all round the other side of
the room that the people dropped off
one by one , and soon Mrs. Bovril and
Mrs. Deane were left alone.
"Well , my dear , " said Mrs. Bovril ,
when Algy , who had staid to see all
the others driven out , had gone , "how
have you .been getting on ? "
"I don't think my husband will have
any cause to be jealous , " airs. Deane
replied , leaning back In a more com
fortable position than she had hitherto
allowed herself.
"Dear me , how unfortunate you are.
You don't know how to treat them ,
you silly child. You should have
watched me. A lot can be done in
that way. I suppose you talked about
books , and the theaters , and bicycles ,
and all those sort of things , " and Mrs.
Bovril smiled contemptuously.
"What else should I talk about to
strangers ? " replied the pupil rather
wearily , for , to say the truth , Mrs.
Bovril's second best young man had
not been interested in anything.
Mrs. Bovril laughed. "You absurd
creature. Do you think that sort of
conversation interests them ? They ore
only Interested in you and themselves.
You must be more personal. Discuss
the character of men and women. A
lot can be done with that. You soon
drift round to your own natures and
dispositions , and on that topic you can
become intimate in fifteen minutes.
Then you should hint at domestic sor
rows. There is nothing a young man
likes so much in a married woman a :
domestic sorrows. "
"But I haven't any , " Mrs. Deane
said , pulling a rose to pieces and
dropping the leaves into a teacup.
"Of course not But it is so easy to
suggest some. I believe Algy Dawson
thinks that Mr. Bovril beats me. "
"Did you tell him so ? " cried Mrs
Deane in disgust.
"No , you goose , but I always look
extremely sad , and then brighten up
when he comes and sits by me. I
makes him think he is the one brigh
spot in m3' dark and desolate life. O :
course he likes to think that. " And
Mrs. Bovril laughed till she spilt some
tea over her new frock.
"How insincere you people of the citj
are , " said Mrs. Deane , with a demure
look on her face. Then a mischievouf
light flashed into her eyes and she
cried , "What fun ! "
"Yes , dear. You see what you have
missed in the country ; but , as I say
you can learn a lot from me. "
"Do teach me , Mrs. Bovril , " the gir
said eagerly. "I think I think I should
be a good pupil. "
"A great deal rests with yourself , of
course , " replied Mrs. Bovril. Mrs
Deane turned her head a little , just a
little , towards the mirror , and smiled.
"Just a few hints , though , " she plead
ed. "They would be acceptable. You
have had such experience. "
"I can only repeat what I have said.
Be personal. Personalities are the only
proper topics of conversation between
a man and a woman. You cannot be
too personal. It Is better even to be
rude than to talk about bicycles. "
"Please go on , " cried Mrs. Deane ,
clasping her knees with her hands and
leaning forward.
"Well , you can talk about other men
if you like. Not in terms of abuse-
that is inartistic but as if they didn'i
matter. It institutes pleasant mental
comparisons in the man's mind. It is
> nly verbal comparisons that are
Ddious. "
Mrs. Deane jumped up. "I must go ,
Mrs. Bovril. I could listen to you all
lay. O , you are clever. But isn't it
ill just just a little wrong ? "
Mrs. Bovril rose too and kissed her.
'Silly child , do you think any of us
ire deceived ? "
"Might not those who did not
snow " Mrs. Deane said demurely.
'Young , inexperienced people ; might
: hey not be deceived , and and "
"They soon learn , dear , " Mrs. Bovril
sighed , and looked away. Mrs. Deane
tvondered how she had learned , and if
; he lesson had been a pleasant one.
"Good-by , Mrs. Bovril , and thank you
so much. I have half a mind to try
some day. " And she laughed round
: he corner of the door and was gone.

A month afterwards Mrs. Paunce-
: orte Deane found Mrs. BoVril alone in
icr drawing room her "schoolroom , "
Mrs. Deane always called it.
After a few greetings Mrs. Bovril
: ame to the point.
"Has it been a success , dear ? " she
: ried. Mrs. Deane nodded , and gave a
smile suspiciously like one of triumph.
"Sit down , dear , and tell me all about
t. " Mrs. Bovril smiled encouragingly
md began to pour out some tea. "Well ,
irst of all , who is he ? "
Mrs. Deane blushed. "O , I don't think
: ought to tell you that. He he is
narried , and it might "
"Well , well , it doesn't matter , " she
eplied , sharply. "All men are the
lame. You are young yet , and will
ioon get over that feeling. I don't
inderstand it myself , and you and 1
ire also married for that matter. "
Mrs. Deane looked relieved. "I was
tfraid you would be vexed , " she said ,
'would think I had perhaps gone too
ar. I am so glad you don't see any
larm In it. "
"Is he sufficiently fascinating ? " Mrs.
Sovril asked. "That is the thing.
Chat , in fact , is the only excuse. "
"He is one of the most charming men
have ever met , " replied Mrs. Deane
vith fervor. Then she looked on the
loor and spoke more slowly. "So
trong , so self-reliant , and , poor man ,
o unhappy. "
"In his wife , I suppose. Of course !
lon't you remember what I told you ? "
'here was a slight sneer on Mrs. Bov-
il's face.
"Yes , I remember , " she replied. "I
tave profited by it. After what you
old me no man could deceive me. But
ie I am sure he is speaking the truth.
? here ! " and she drew herself up de-
iantly.
"Of course , dear , of course , " Mrs.
Jovril said soothingly , and laughed be-
lind her handkerchief.
"His wife neglects him flirts with
ther men , " Mrs. Deane went on in-
: iguantly. "I know she does. "
"Of course , dear. They all do. Didn't
tell you so ? "
"But it is different in this case. "
"Why ? I don't suppose she means
nything , any more than you or I do. "
"He thinks she does , " Mrs. Deane
ilurted out , "so it's just as bad for
lira. "
Mrs. BoTril laughed softly. "For
ilm ? Whose fault is that ? But I
ron't destroy your illusions. You are
oung , and I suppose you want some
xcuse. "
"Not for tny conduct. I am merely
aerely doing what you have taught
ae. It is all in fun. "
"But for him. _ jou want an excuse
or his conduct. Is he so much in earn
est ? " Mrs. Bovril began to be sorry
for the man and a bit ashamed of herj
own share In the matter. She recov-l
ered , however. "You sweet , innocent
thing , " she continued , "you will soon
learn that nothing is ever done in earn
est. "
Mrs. Deanerose and smiled. "Per
haps , " she said sweetly , "perhaps I
may some day attain to your position ,
Mrs. Bovril. As yet I am too young.
I am sorry for the harm I have done. "
"You ridiculous child , you have done
no harm. Must you be going ? Good-
by , dear. He will get over It. I am
rather proud of my pupil's success. Is
he really so much In earnest. Poor
fellow pooh ! It will do him good ! "
Mrs. Deane moved towards the door.
"I think , " she said quietly , "that Mr.
Bovril is one of the best hearted ,
most "
Mrs. Bovril rose and knocked down
a plate. "Mrs. Paunceforte Deane ! "
she said with some dignity.
" 0. Mrs. Bovril , I am so sorry. "
There was a sly twinkle in her eye all
the same. "I thought you said there
; vas no harm. I didn't think you wou6
mind. Your pupils must practice , you
know. It was only in fun ah , I see h
all now. "
"What do you see , " Mrs. Bovril said
sharply.
"That one can look at it from quite
another point of view. "
As a matter of fact , Bovril said that
he had never even met Mrs. Paunce
forte Deane , and I am not quite sure
that the poor man was not speaking
the truth. He ought , however , to be
thankful to her. Mrs. Bovril does not

"JUMPED" BY A MOOSE.
Easy Enough for the Animal , but Hard
for the City Man. .
What it did was easy enough for
the moose , but a little bit hard for
the city man. The moose , perhaps
driven down by the storm , seemed
bound to get into the cedar thickets ,
like the white tailed deer , and it led
us a merry chase , worming in and out
among the snow-covered trees. Need
less to say , we were soon thoroughly
wetted with the snow , which fell from
the trees on our necks and shoulders ,
but , of course , one does not mind a
little thing like that , says a writer in
Forest and Stream. The interest of
the chase kept us warm. We could
see that we were getting closer and
closer to our game. Presently we
could see that we were getting very
close. At last we saw where we had
gotten within 100 yards of it. There
was the story. A deep pit , as though
a great horse had lain there.
"Jumped , " said Adam.
"Sure , " said I.
Then we sat down and thought it
over for a while. We went on some
more , and presently we came across
two more moose tracks , a big one
and a little one , probably a cow and a
calf , as Adam thought We were then
three miles from the camp , and it was
not too late in the day , so we thought
we would follow on and see what this
bunch would do to us. They did pret
ty much the same as the young bull
had done. We followed these tracks
through all kinds of country , saw
where the animals had fed In among
the willows and alders , and on the
rouudwood , and finally p'uzzled out
their trail until we knew that we were
getting very close. This time we were
near indeed to seeing our moose. We
were perhaps not fifty yards away
when we came to a couple more big
holes in the snow , and some more reg
ular holes beyond. Jumped again !
There was the story , plain enough.
This time we might almost have heard
the bushes rattle as we went out. As
we stood there we heard a hoarse ,
harsh , curious kind of coughing bark.
Adam laughed.
"That old lady is just wondering
what in the world it was that scared
her , " said he. "She is frightened , but
is not exactly sure what it is that
frightened her. Just listen to her. "
Once , twice and again that same
coughing bark cane back to us. Then
all was still , ard we were again all
alone in the white wilderness. We
concluded that we would go home
after that.
Cut Both Ways.
"I want my hair cut , and no talk , "
said a 16-stone man , with an I-own-
the-eartb. air , as he walked into a
Swindon barber's shop and sat down.
"The " commenced.the man in ttr

cnew everything rose from his chair
md surveyed himself in the glass.
"Great Scott ! " he exclaimed. "It's
really true , then You barbers can't do
Four work properly unless you talk. "

Why "Women Snub Other Women.
;
T ? T sometimes shocks a sensitive
II man to hear women tell how coolly
and rudely they have snubbed other
women. A man dislikes to hurt the j
feelings of another man , even though j
he has just cause for hurting them.
When he is obliged to resent an injury
or deliver a rebuke lie does so usually
with some reluctance. But the ordin
ary woman appears to take an amount
of pleasure in snubbing.
Women have a gentle way of cutting
other women whose acquaintance they
desire no longer. Men will continue for
years to nod to a man whom they do
not like and who can be of no service
to them ; but women carry no supernu
merary or detrimental acquaintances.
When they no longer have either regard
or use for a woman they fail to see her
at the next meeting. After one or two
such experiences the other woman un
derstands.
Snubbing generally is a cruel and
sill } " practice. There are persons whose
conduct may make it necessary to drop
them from one's acquaintances , but a
great deal of snubbing is done out of
sheer wantonness. The true lady , of
course , never snubs another unless she
has good reason. Most of the snubbing
is done by snobs who deem themselves
better than other people , and who , as
they extend their acquaintance among
fashionable people , drop their old
friends as detrimental to their social
progress.
Women do most of the snubbing be
cause the majority of them , not having
to earn their own living , do not appre
ciate the advantage of having a large
acquaintance friendly disposed. A man
knows that the most insignificant per
son may some day have it in his power
to do him a favor or a hurt. He knows
that it is very bad policy to turn even
the humblest friend Into a foe. But
the women that have not made their
own living have not learned this lesson.
Women generally are not so friendly
to one another as men are to men.
When two men , hitherto strangers , arc
introduced to each other , they shake
hands and fall at once , if circumstances
be favorable , into pleasant intercourse.
Each Is willing to please and to be
pleased. Each meets the other half
way. But when two women meet each
other for the first time both are likely
to be slow In making overtures. They
are distant and formal in manner.
Each eyes the other sharply , takes her
in from hat to boots , notes the details
of her appearance , listens critically to
her conversation , and decides by some
Instinctive , inexplicable process that
she likes her or does not like her. Men
approach each other In an amicable ,
women in a hostile , state of mind. A
man expects to find a friend. A woman
expects to find a foe. The difference
springs from the difference between a
man's life in the world and a woman's
life in the parlor. San Francisco Bul
letin.

A certain amount of crying Is abso
lutely necessary ; this Is the only way
a baby can exercise his lungs ; under
no circumstances should he be given
"soothing syrup" to quiet him. A
young mother will soon learn to dis
tinguish the cry of pain ; it Is strong ,
sharp , but not continuous , often ac-
companied by contractions of the fea- '
tures and drawing up of the legs.
Before and after the baby is fed his
mouth should be wiped out gently
with a piece of soft linen or absorbent
cotton dipped In boric acid solution.
Too great care cannot be taken of rub
ber nipples and bottles. Use gradu
ated , cylindrical bottles and plain ,

Avoid First Quarrels.
First quarrels are full of fascination
for young lovers. The pleasing qualities
found in the process of reconciliation
are very enticing , but the pleasure is
not enduring. Spats and petty differ-
2iices are all right so long as they are
3f the trivial sort , but they lose their
luster when they become material. The
onsequences run all the way from mo-
uentary heartaches to the environs of
: he divorce court. The disease is a
popular one , and contagion ominous ,
iut the cure is simple In the extreme
; hun the first quarrel as you would
? puru a falsehood , for in the first differ-
mce the germ of discomfort lies smol-
lerlng , awaiting only a gesture , or a
ivord , to fan it to the dignity of a con-
lagratlon. The Impressionist.
To Licht a Dark Hall.
A woman who has long found the
mrrow hall of her house dark , and dif-
icult to treat In any way that made
he entrance to the residence attractive , tl
transformed It , to its great Improve-
ment , by letting in a mirror from the
floor to the ceiling on one side. This is
opposite the parlor door , and the light
from that department , falling on the
mirror , is reflected back into the hall ,
to its much better lighting , while the
apparent size of the little place is great
ly increased. The mirror is , of course ,
unframed , and is fitted in between cor
nice and baseboard , and finished at the
sides with a flat molding that seems a
part of the woodwork. The value of
this treatment is not realized until it is
tried. Often a blank stretch of wall
that seems a hopeless shutting in of
space may offer the transforming oppor
tunity. Care must be taken not to
overdo the treatment in such a way as
to create the effect of a hotel corridor
or public hall ; but judiciously used un
der the care of a good architect the
plan is to be commended. Exchange.
To make a pretty and comfortable
petticoat cut the skirt about a quarter
of a yard shorter than walking length.
Make it the same length all around.
Sew this on the machine. Sew on the
hem a plaited silk ruffle , cut on the
straight of the material , about six
inches deep. On the edge of the plait
ed ruffles sew a narrow bias ruifle
about two inches deep. Do not set the
ruflles on the skirt proper , as the skirt
is easier to walk in , wears better and
rustles more if the ruflles are set on
the bottom. Small plaits are prettier
than large ones.
The ability to appear perfectly well
dressed depends far more upon the
tact and taste of the individual than
upon the length of her purse. I have
again and again seen women with
more clothes than Flora MacFlImsy
ever possessed who in nine cases out
of ten were anything but perfectly
well dressed. It is far more the know
ing of what is appropriate and suitable
for various occasions that makes a
woman appear well dressed than the
following perfunctorily of any Spartan
rules of fashion. To dress well means
the adapting of the needs of one's life
to one's clothes. Please notice I use
the word "needs" ' and not "wants , " as
feminine wants are notoriously elastic.
A sense of delicate discrimination Is
necessary to women in this matter of
appearing well dressed , and I care
nothing for those women who turn
up their noses at the triviality of the
mind of the woman who loves to ap
pear so. It is to my way of thinking
a pleasant and a proper state of mind
to be In. Mrs. Ralston in Ladies'

Ughetti's work , "With Physicians
and Clients , " contains an anecdoto
about Heine which is new to us. Re
turning from a journey to the south of
Fiance , Heine met a friend , a German
violinist , in Lyons , who gave him a
large sausage that had been made in
Lyons , with the request to deliver it to
a mutual acquaintance , a homeopathic
physician in Paris. Heine promised to
attend to the commission , and entrust
ed the delicacy to the care of his wife ,
who was traveling with him. But as
the post-chaise was very slow , and ho
soon became very hungry , on the ad
vice of his wife , both tasted c-C the
sausage , which dwindled with every
mile. Arriving at Paris , Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the phy
sician , and yet he wished to keep his
promise. So he cut off the thinness
possible slice with his razor , wrapped
it in a sheet of vellum paper , and en
closed it in an envelope , with tlie fol
lowing note : "Dear Doctor From
vour scientific investigations , we learn
that the millionth part of a certain
substance brings about the greatest
results. I beg. therefore , your kind
acceptance of the accompanying mill
