WOMAN’S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS. The Good Hoanekecpcr. How can I tell her! By her cellar; Cleanly shelvfs and whitened wall. I can guess her By her dresser; By the back staircase and hall. And with pleasare Take her measure By the way she keeps her brooms; Or the peeping At the “keeping" Of her back and unseen rooms. By her kitchen’s air of neatness, And its general completeness; Where in cleanliness and sweetness Tho rose of order blooms. —Lester Leigh, in Good Housekeeping. “Dont's" for Wives. Don’t mend his hosiery with coarse cotton having knots in it larger than a ■pea. Don’t trade oil nil his old clothes for [n pair of china dogs and then tell him F .bout it. Don’t have more than a dozen of placcB or the hutton-hook. Don’t communicate unpleasant news or l&Bk a favor before eating. Thu heart is not easily touched when the stomach M empty. L Don’t gather up all his receipts and otes that he has put carefully away on jthc sitting-room table—and tuck them in [the fire the moment his back is turned. I Don’t lenve hair in the comb, or your beck curls where they will stick to the hair brush. Don’t put a long hair on Ithc soap or in his tooth-brush purposely. 1 Don’t put pins in your curl papers or let your crimping pins dangle on your forehead. They arc abominations, and feminine implements of warfare that men despise. Don’t waste your breath in useless vi tuperation against his favorite chum. Cultivate the cliura—ostensibly—when your husband is not around, and* matters will nssume a different aspect. Don’t monopolize every hook in tho closet. Graciously tender him one nail for his very own—nud tlion, in mercy, hang your “Mother llubbnrd,” your pal- lerinc, your shopping bag aud your bon- jMt in some other place, i jDon’t be unreasonably vexed if he is n*t ready for church us soon ns you are. If he doesn’t start to get ready till the bell (begins to ring you mustn’t expect the iconic results as with yoursolf, who had the whole morning before you. Don't nsk him where he hns been the moment he enters the house, or where he jis going if he starts out for a walk. It (nettles nim, and men hate to have such pointed questions sprung upon them. (Beside that, we live under a free flug. Don’t impose upon your luisbund just because he is good enough to assist you a 'little in your housework. Don’t leave the stove-handle in the red-hot stove,and don’t ask him to empty the ash hod. Draw a line on the ash hod and don’t run a free horse to dcuth. | Don’t usk him to wnlk the floor with 'the bnby half the night. A man who tramps industriously around a billiard table three nights in (he week, or buys ;nn admission ticket to tho opera, can’t be expected to be on duty at homo the other (three nights. Have mercy on him, and give the man a chance to recuperate. Don’t disturb your husband while he 'is reading his paper by asking foolish questions. He may be only reading the intest scandal, but he is just us much in terested us though it was foreign news or •market reports. Be patient, and when ■he comes across anything he thinks you can comprehend perhaps he may read it to you. Don’t be inexplicit in giving directions. When you ask. him to go upstairs for your portemonnaif, tell him it is either ion the table, or in the further corner of the left-hand side .of the upper bureau drawer, or in the pocket of your brown dress in the closet. He will have no trouble in finding it—if you can tell him just where it is, especially the pocket.— Chicago Herald. Fashion Notes. Delicately shaded brocaded sateens have printed (loral designs. Brocade, button boots correspond to the dress with which they are worn. Short dresses for young persons are draped from the waist in diagonal folds. Bonnet ornaments are seen in curious shapes, horses and seals being the latest fancy. The red, gilt and copper galloons are very effective on black or brown plush skirts. Velvet draperies are used on lace dresses. The bodice should be of velvet, trimmed with lace. Wool costumes have panels, bodice and sleeve trimming of coupe plush, in grace ful arabesque designs. The foundation of many of the bon nets is of faille embroidered in gold and in various beads and colors. Crinkled zephyr cloth is shown in every variety of dark and light colors, with stripes for the skirts, while the bodice and drapery are plaid, corre sponding to the skirt in color. Dark blue sateens have a border imi tating Torchon lace, a tiny figure of which is strewn over the material. Others have a broad border of wheat ears, miniature ears forming the design upon the fabric. Young girls were never so much con sidered as at the present seuson in all sorts of garments and styles of goods for dress wear, and some of the goods dis tinctively juvenile are exquisite in style. Some of the new sateens have stripcsof blue, mauve or pink alternating with white, with rosebuds strewn over them. (These will be used for skirts, the over dress being of plain sateen corresponding 1 to the colored stripe. The designs of a worn out brocade may j be cut out and sewn on another material, i finishing the edges with fine gold or silk cord, and thus making’ n most effective tuhlier, panel, quillcs and plastron for a low or open corsage. Very plain jerseys, well fitted and without trimming, are so neat looking, and are such an excellent substitute for half-worn dress waists, that they remain in favor, while those more showily trimmed are much less used than for merly. > Some pretty spotted muslins arc made ns full skirts, with silk bodices pointed back nnd front, half high and draped with a full kerchief tucked into the bodice; from the waist there are ten long strips of ribbon or volvet, arranged in twos and twos as to form a point near tho hem beneath u rosette. “Constitutional Cowards." Speaking with Colonel Greene, says a writer in the Philadelphia Hews, about the irresistible impulse among soldiers to lie down when shells whizzed danger ously near, he replied, “Yes; that im pulse is uncontrollable, and I recall just now a laughable occurrence at Fred ericksburg In Virginia. You remember the enemy had a number of siege guns there, and every now and then they would throw a tremendous shell acroso the Rappahannock and Bend consterna tion and panic through our camps. At first these shells created greut confusion and dismny but the boys soon became used to them, and unless one came very ncur little attention was paid to the can nonading. “I was standing one day, however, in the midst of our camp, where perhaps a hundred soldiers were to'be seen, when suddenly one of these grent shells was heard coming through the air, and as it whirled with a tcrriblo crash directly over our heads every one of those hundred forms crouched down behind the shelter tents in little blue heaps, myself includ ed, and when they recovered themselves and raised up once more the blood had fled from every fnce nnd they wero blanched to an ashy whiteness. As soon ns they saw the danger was pnssed tho blood came mantling back to their checks and the blush of their slmmc and their fears vanished with a loud laugh ns an old sergeant of the regiment, whose fnce had been of tho whitest, realizing how ridiculous it was to hide behind a shelter tent to find sufety from a shell that would have knocked a horse down, shouted so that every mun could hear hjm, ‘Isay, boys, when the .Johnnies fling another of them grave diggers over this way ’sposo we get a sheet of note paper and hide behind that.’ And yet,” added the oolonel, “within n week these same men were part of a line which marched up to Mury’s Heights over a field that was literally plowed with shot anil shell until they wore so close to tho siege gun that threw tho grave diggers that you could have tossod a copper into their trenches where the iron monster laid.” The other incident mentioned by Colo nel Greene was more touching: “We hud,” he said, “in our command a mun who could not go into a fight. He was a good fellow, and everybody liked him, nnd he was really more pitied than con demned for his cowardly infirmity. Find ing that he was of no service in the com pany, and fearing that his example might be demoralizing, ho was detailed as a teamster, nnd he served with the wagon trains throughout tho whole war nnd was never in a fight. After hostilities had ceased und there was not an armed vol unteer in the field, this mun, who was still on detached service in the field, was one day engaged in removing a lot of muskets from a wagon preparatory to their being sent North. A c< m ado who was assisting him cautioned him to be careful as some of the guns might be loaded. He replied that there inn in danger, ns they were old and rusty, ami had long been out of use, but scarcely had the words escaped his lips when one of the guns was discharged and lie was instantly killed.” Wanted.
