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 ?

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.

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 the painbtnking recipient quickly trans fers to the parchment leaves of a daintily bound souvenir book , while the heirloom , along with others of its kind , is sot upon the velvet-covered shelves of an exquisite plate-glass cabinet. 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 boon appointed ns minister to this coun- try nt a time when ho will bo able nlo dcontribute to the success of the grout Columbian festival , In which spain lias has an equal interest with ourselves , % 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 ? V # 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.

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 most delicate fabrics and leave no trace behind of its uso. It will also renovate feathers and olotin the plainest or the richest lace. The lace is plunged into ii small pan of gasoline just asono would wash it in water.

"In our city houses they stand in their cups or hang on their racks nbovo the sot toilet bowls day and night , absorbing any disease gorins that may bo floating about. They should bo washed frequently at least twice a week in some antiseptic solution , strong suit a rid water and bi-carbonato of soda and water being two good and readily provided cleansers. Tooth washes and pastes should also bo kept carefully covered. " K * P.atti , too , has been writing her memoirs - 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 over the pnluco , in company with the present queen. Every four or live seconds ends his majesty called the singer's at tention to bomopicturoor trinket and exclaimed - claimed mournfully : "That belonged to ray clear Mercedes'1 ( his lirt wife ) The queen and the artiste tried to change tlio subject , but Alfonso XII was full of loving reminiscences , and ho led the conversation. * * 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. An avorairo waltz takes a dancer over about three-quarters of a mile.
