The happy woman who always looks
on the bright side and is cheerful under
the most ad verso circumstances has been
the theme of ninny a poem and apostrophe
trophe by professionals and amateurs
ever since men wrote their thoughts ,
and , bettor than this , she has boon the
mainstay of her family In times of
trouble when all else failed. When
sickness and trouble come , aa long as
the mother has hope the father thinks
things will turn out right , but when all
hone falls and oven the mother Is forced
to realize that the sorrow is Inevitable ,
it is then that the other members of the
family give way. Even then her sorrow
IB repressed and fiho. never thinking
of botf , trios to point out some hope
in all the misery. The crown a
woman wears In times llko these
is nbovo all expression of appreciation
and though poets may strive to do her
justice with all their gonlus. and great
students of human nature llko Dickens
and Mrs. Browning may pay high trP > -

fully demonstrates what a comfort and
blosslnp she is to these with whom she
is associated. These things are nil a
matter of habit. If wo continually
strive to bo happy and contented and
will look for the good that Is every
thing , wo will unconsciously become
strong and ready for the emergency
when it comes , then ono day it will bo
said , "Oh , she docs uot deserve any
credit for being always cheerful and
kind , It is her nature , I wish it were
mine. " Will not this bo reward enough ?
*
Don't ' bo a scold. Bo above It. There
are some things that grow on ono una
wares mid the habit of finding fault is
ono of these. There is a woman living
in the city who has two little sons , about
10 and l'J years of ago. She will ask
them to do something for her , and they
are good little follows , and go at once ,
and oho will say. "Now if you boys don't
hurry faster than you generally do I
will come and do it myself ; there is no
living \Vjtli you. " The boys then try to
hurry and perhaps lot something fall or
spill It and then she will Bay , "For good
ness sake , why can't you bo careful and
not como so fast , it Is not a matter of
life and death. " The children will very
likely think if they do notsny , "Mamma
is very hard to please. " No ono in the
world has such a sense of justice as a
child , and the mother will certainly
lose hold of ono of the strings to the
heart ot the boy if she is unjust to him.
One of the golden rules of life is to say
nothing , , if " ( you have nothing pleasant to
, This will not always work ; like all
rules , golden and otherwise , it is some
times bottcr kept In the breach than the
observance. A minister of the gospel
once said , "a woman , too , "I think a do
mestic cyclone is necessary sometimes.
" tist'glvp everything n good turning ever
nnd scattering , it does them good. The
day has gone by when women are sup
posed to smile no matter what happens.
But like a cyclone in Kansas lot it bo
short and to'tho point , and then drop
the subject. Don't have ono all the
tlmo.-That is good advice. If things
cannot possibly bo berne , and you are
sure , .you have > ; oed cause , say what
you think and feel and have
done with it. Don't ' nag. If it
is understood that you only talk when
1 you have "something to bay , those with
whom you have dealings will soon learn
to'ilston ! as they will discover it is their
loss if they do not. Of course some
women can Hvo and always be smiling ,
but they are the exceptional ones. And
'thoy are usually the selfish ones of the
world , who have things their own way

slid along , pushed backward and whirled
around. What Is the meaning of this
now manner of mooting one's friends ?
shrieks the Now Orleans Times-Domo-
* orat.
Analyzed , It Is not pleasant. There Is
an element of patronizing in it ; cacli
trios to lift the other up to his height ,
and then , by stiffening of the elbow ,
keep him , when so honored , at a certain
distance. \
Thisinay do very well for a now sec
tion , whore such efforts and restrictions
nro necessary , but hero there is no
need for such things. They were satis
factorily arranged generations ago by
our ancestors.
They gracefully extended their hands ,
feeling perfect equality , and clasped
warmly the hands of a friend , cordially
extended In re turn , implying mutual
confidence and real frioiuLsiilp , and in
such a salutation there "was grace and
good breeding.
I confess that this protest comes from
n personal experience of uncomfortable
sensations after undergoing tills now
method , and a determination , in consequence
quence , to omit handshaking altogether.
The Enclish are. I boliovo. credited
vith this innovation , but this is doubt
less slander , or perhaps It Is duo to a
orrtaln class of English not to bo linl-
tatod in this or other things.
Is there not , after nil , a certain pro
vincialism in adopting every now- man
nerism ? Should there not be some
thing individual and characteristic In
our retaining permanently the manner
descending to us through a line of
gentlefolk ?
II Material things dress , furniture ,
IIot house and equipage are necessarily
ot imdur the rule of change , but should
ua manner of thought iiiul method of life ,
to Mich an extent , be so controlled ?
In the name of progress much grace
of living is lost in this hurried and
breathless ago , in this nervous and restless -
loss country , and it ecoins to mo much
of its dignity is also forfeited.

.The number of giossly extravagant
vromnn who carry the burden of their
debt * about London society is enormous.
Many of them are very rich , but that
fact does not prevent them from out
running the constable. Wo know in
stances of famous women in the London
world tit this moment , says Hearth and
Home , whoso husbands are worth large
fortunes , women who have dress
makers' bills they cannot pay , which
'
they simply dare not show to' the men

did not duro to mention the bill to her
husband , rich though ho was , and so
she compromised the matter by ordering
more gowns that hho didn't want , and
allowing the dressmaker to charge any
thing" BmUkod for them. And HO the
snowball of debts rolls merrily on ,
gathering size In Us progress.
Once n woman has got Into debt eho
scorns to lose her head. The plunger
spirit Bolzos her. She does not care
what she doos. Her balance la lost.
She lots herself bo caught like a grain

about them that ap'ncals to the nicest

When called upon to analyze this pe
culiar beauty it resolves llsolf into the
conclusion that such ti place Is sweater

the Bottco is a rubber plant , bright and

beauty of the summer woods through all
the long hours of the winter.

Hitch bits of adornment nro not ex-

The attention necessary for them is In

the mistress of the house or ono of these
who have a rightful claim upon the

Though rigid economy must needs bo
practiced the introduction of a single

to this is added a blithe little canary In

Down hi a basement on Bridge street ,
Brooklyn , soys the Now York
Herald , there lives a man whom the
Johnnies and dudes on the rialto must
envy , for while the unsentimental stage
doorkeeper would not under any circum
stances permit a single Johnnie or dude
to go behind the scenes tills fortunate
individual , who makes his home in the
City of Churches , is allowed to oomo and
go as ho pleases.
For years it has been his privilege to
measure the foot of footlight favorites ,
such as Lillian Russell , Marie Tom pest ,
Maggie Cline , Muthlldo Cottrolly , Mattie -
tie VickerH , Helene Mora and Mary
Howard.
William KolfT is the artistic cobbler's
name. Marie Tempest , ho told me , has
the smallest foot in'tho profession.
"Whv. " ho exclaimed , "it ia hnrdlv n.
number ono. I believe she has the
finest instep of any woman living. It is
perfect. For thirty-live years I have
made slippers and shoes for theatrical
people , and during that time have lit ted
ever a thousand women , but I never
made slippers lor any foot &o tiny and
shapely as Miss Tempest's. " Mr. Rolff
says Miss Russell's foot is a pretty foot
for a woman of her size.
Mr. RollT fits these artists in their
dressing rooms on the stage.

About this time the careful house
keeper begins to have her blankets
washed ono by ono in the weekly wash
to bo ready for the coming winter. She
does not wait for cold weather , either ,
before having Bagging Bash cords re
placed with new ones , cracked window
panes removed and draughty places at
tended to. It is a great mistake to wait
until necessity becomes a spur to the
procrabtlnator. ' 'Take time by the fore
lock , " and as the autumn wanes make
duo provision for the coming winter.

Ono of the notable oddities of charac
ter that distinguish Sarah Bernhardt is
her love of making nets of all manner of
queer boasts and reptiles , 8iieh a ? would
give the ordinary woman cold chills.
It in an asp or an alligator or a horned
toad that she takes to her bosom and
lavishes her sweetest caresses upon , and
the visitor to her boudoir is almost sure
to got a succession of uhort , sharp shocks
from stumbling' in dark corners across
all sorts of horrid little beast4. Her
fancy changes much , and on a foreign
trip she is sure to pick up half a dozen
new atrocities , BO that her racnagorio Is
looked for on her return with interest
second only to that bestowed on her
divine self. Her recent tour in South
America was expected to be productive
of a whole retinue of now horrors , but
her fancy took a now turn. She got
back to Paris two or throe weeks ago ,
and her munugerio accompanied her ,
but it consisted only of throe little
pumas , ten monkeys of various degrees
of hairy ugliness , and an aviary of 300

A story is going the rounds about a
little woman who the other night was
seated at the theater behind a'gorge
ously dressed beauty whoso balloon
sleeves completely hid the stage from
the victim in the rear.
She sat first on ono foot and then the
other , but all in vain ; not a gllmpso of
the play could she get.
After a whispered conversation with
her husband came the tragedy.
Without a word of warning that woo
bit of woman quietly rose , gently but
firmly laid her hands upon the \vingod
shoulders of her obtrusive neighbor ,
mid pressed her green and violet rufilos
as far down as they would go. People
tvho saw the operation gasped at the
transformation. The victim easily ac
cepted the situation , and remained in
subjugation until the end of the play.

What shall bo done with the photo
graphs which are yearly on the inorcaso ?
There have been albums and photo
graph frames and bags , both small and
great , in which to deposit thorn , and
still they accumulate.
A pretty Idea for a photograph case is
to take a uioco of cardboard of any size
desired , and cover plainly with pink
silk. Cover another piece , slightly
smaller , as in drawing , joining this to
the first , and still another piece slightly
smaller than the second. Embroider
delicate maiden hair ferns in natural
shades in corner four , tacking this to the
third piece of covered board. Or this
corner may be made of white or ecru
leather. Fasten the outside edges to
gether , leaving spaces between each
card for the photographs and finish the
case with a bow of pale given ribbon to
match the furiis ) .
For amateur photographers another
suggestion Is to make un album of water
color papor. in which the unmounted
"snap shots" are to bo pasted and each
photograph outlined with splashes of
gilt. The outtiido of the album la of
heavy pasteboard covered wjth linen
and uocoratod with lettering suggestive
of contents. This classifies the photo
graphs and gives one's friends the
ploasaro of n camera's sketchbook. ,

In those days , when wash silks are In
common use , a few words In regard to
washing them may bo of Interest. As
silk is an animal fibre , like wool , It can
not bo treated In the same way as cotton ,
which may be subjected to water of all
temperatures without injury. Silk
should bo washed ai rapidly as possible.
Examine the articles to bo washed , and ,
if there are any parts especially soiled ,
clean with n little benzine or gasoline ,
applied with a llannol cloth , Then prepare -
pare n soap suds of lukewarm water and
plunge the garments in it , sousing them
up and down , and rubbing them thor
oughly in this suds. Rinse them into
water n llttlo cooler , and then into n
third water still a llttlo cooler ,
and so on until the final rin
sing water is perfectly cold , Do
not blue them , Wring them out as dry
as possible with a machine. Lay them
in shoots or heavy cloths and roll them
ns hard us you can in firm rolls. Put
them away for an hour , and at the end
of that tlmo iron thorn on the wrong
side.

Society women are the only class of
wcak-oyod people who take proper care
of their faces. They save their oyes.
If they are too vain to wear glasses they
don't try to road under trying circum
stances. In public places the fashionable -
able make little use of opera glasses and
no use of librettos , programs , catalogues
and prayer books , says the London Tele
graph. " You will never catch the soci
ety beauty burning holes in her oycs to
study u stage artist. It frequently hap
pens , too , that she will return from an
opera or a play and not know the naino
of any one In the cast but the star.
Women of this cla-ss who save them
selves are never without fans and para
sols.
sols.Tlicso
Tlicso protections are carried summer
and winter , hi and out of doors , and
raised whenever there is a trying light
to face. Parasol ottos are made to order.
Those for interiors theaters , art gal
leries and concert halls are not much
larger than a tea plate. Carriage .para-
solottcs are about twelve inches in
diameter. Then there are hand screens
tnado of bolting cloth , sowing silk ,
gauze , etc. , mounted on ivory wood and
kept on library , toilet and center tables
to shield the eyes from gas or firelight.
But the stable article is a fan , and
women who know its real value , aside
from the decorative , cat , sleep , read
and live with it in hand. It is this sort
of protection for the oyps that retards
the accumulation of wrin.clos and pre
serves the sight. The early adoption
and continuous use of broad-brimmed
huts for weak-oyod girls is a timely pre
ventive of untimely crow's tees and
wrinkles.

The last articulate words that Lucy
Stone uttered wore whispered in the car
of her daughter. "Make the world bot- ,
tor. " The woman died as she had lived ,
bravo and fearless and hopeful to the
last. "I have not the smallest appre
hension , " she said. "I know the eter
nal order , and I believe in it. " To a
friend who expressed the wish that she
might have lived to see woman's suf
frage granted , she said : "Oh , I shall
know it. I think I shall know it on the
if I don't " she added
other side. And , ,
contentedly , ' 'the people on this side
will know it. " To some 0110 else , who
suggested the possibility of her coming
back to communicate with these she had
loft , she answered : ' 'I expect to bo too
busy to come back. Perhaps I shall
know about the Women voting where I
am , and if not I shall bo doing some
thing better. I have not a fear , nor a
dread , nor a doubt. I think I have done
what I could here. 1 certainly have
tried. With one hand I made my
family comfortable , with the othei "
but she never finished the sentence.

The women in Ntnv York state are
taking a lively interest in politics.
Many of them have braved the registra
tion ordeal. Women in this state have
voted at public scho l meetings for trus
tees , says the Now York Sun , but the
law aft'ords thorn the opportunity this
year to stand in line with the men and
vote for bchool cointnisbionors. Women
have boon nominated for this olllco in
very many districts , most often by the
prohibitionists. In Port Jorvis there are
women opponents for the honor , both
the republicans and prohibitionists hav
ing nominated women for the oflico.
Voting schools have boon opened by the
women in fcovnral townsand they are re
ceiving lessons on how to do their duty
afc the polls. The woman prohibition
ist candidate in Poekskill is making a
strong light against a republican man
who is unmarried and'a great favorite
with the ladies. "
Some idea of woman's interest in the
elections is shown by these figures of
the number of women already registered
in various towns and villages : Port
Jorvis , 900 : Johnstown , 220 ; Pcnn Yan ,
565 ; Elba , 220 ; Byron , 180 , and Savan
nah , 100.

A now feminine Utopia , from which
man is excluded , has boon established in
the Cherokee Strip , and it boars the ap
propriate name of the Daisy Community.
It was generally told in the newspapers
prior to the opening of the Strip that
Miss Annette Daisy , a Koutuckian of
some celebrity as a boomer in previous
land openings , was camped on the line
with some forty spinsters and widows ,
and purposed leading them into the
Strip to secure a section or so and estab
lish a woman's settlement. Miss Daisy
and her project wore lost sight of in the
shufilo and scramble that followed the
rush ever the border. But a missionary
found twenty-two of the Daisy colonists
settled on three quarter sections , aggre
gating about 480 acres , a few miles west
of Ponca. They had erected two houses
and four rough shelters , and had begun
to improve the land. A horrid man HO-
etircd the of ! quarter of the section , and
they have boon trying to buy him out ,
but he scorns well pleased with Ills
neighbors and declines to move.

Very inexpensive materials , ns every
woman knows , may , by the making , hold
their own with the moat costly fabrics.
The wife of ono of the millionaire manu
facturers of New England , wishing to
plcuso her husband not long ago , chose
ono of his 10 cent calicoes at the mill
when on u visit of inspection , had it
made up by her dressmaker , and wore it
to his intense gratification for she
never looked prettier or sweeter in her
life than when gowned in the cheap lit
tle print. But she did not think it worth
while to mention to her unsophisticated
gpouso that the bill for the making ,
trimmings , etc. , amounted to $30.
