THEIR SRI ^S3
THE DRUDGE AND THE WIFE.
“I am only a household drudge,”
said a woman the other day, and she
certainly looked it. Why any woman
should pass so much time in keeping
the house in order is a mystery, for,
although oi de, is a very good and
beautiful thing, it is not all there Is
in the world. A husband coming
home tired at night may not care so
much that the pantry shelves have
just been scrubbed as to see a pretty,
nicely-dressed little woman at the
threshold. If you have to choose be
tween scrubbing the shelves or wav
ing your hair, wave your hair and let
the pantry shelves go until to-morrow
morning.—Indianapolis News.
BUSINESS TRAINING.
“I make a practice,” 9aid a mother,
“of having my daughter or my sou do
my business correspondence in so far
as it is possible. What is my method?
I give them an idea of what I want
said and then ask them to draft any
necessary letter. I go over it, make
any changes or suggestions, and then
have the girl or boy rewrite and send
it. This is not so much to save me
time—in fact, I do not know but what
I spend move time the present way
than if I did it all myself—but I con¬
sider the business training most de¬
sirable for them. Of course, there
will come a time, and not so far in the
future, either, when they can write
these letters without instructions,
Business training never comes amiss,
of that I am convinced.”—New Iia

the woman who travels, “Indeed,

BEAUTY’S LAMENT.
The disadvantages of winning a '
beauty competition become evident in !
ane’s morning mail. At least this is j
the opinion of Miss Ivy Close, whom !
a after committee of nine English artists, |
considering 15,000 portraits,
recently acclaimed as the mo 3 t beau
tiful woman in England, surpassing
the Chicago Tribune’s standard bear- j
er of American pulchritude, Miss
Marguerite Frey,
Miss Close gave utterance to sev
eral sapient remarks about that time,
recommending as an aid to the
achievement of beauty, tea, coffee,
lobster, and cucumber for internal
application, and “any nice handy
soap” for external use. This will
ingness to divulge her secret has
brought her the diurnal correspond
ence which she now finds a burden.
“If you had raven-black hair and
krown eyes,' would buy you a dark
red or a sky-blue dress?” wrote one
beauty seeker. “Is it really true that
coal dust is a good thing to clean
Your teeth with?” another anxiously
asked. One lady demanded to know
whether Miss Close believed in boiled
milk taken the last thing at night—
a test of faith to which the advocate
of lobster and cucumber could pro
pound no solution.
Miss Close has also received
of a connubial nature from
gentlemen. 4 I am handsome and
thoroughly domesticated," wrote one
correspondent. “I would never stay
at the club after one o’clock in the
morning, do not drink, never smoke
in the drawing room,” etc._the last
word being evidently an Instance of
elastic currency. Another suitor was
! more original. “I am awfully busy
this week,” he wrote, “but all the
same am frightfully keen on marry
ing you. I shall have an afternoon
off on Tuesday neit; if you have
j nothing better to do, don’t you think
we might get married then?”—Har¬
per's Weekly.
FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL.
There must always be a good look¬
ing tailored suit that can be worn
with a lingerie waist or a pretty silk
blouse for church, shopping, mati¬
nees and informal teas in the ward¬
robe of the schoolgirl, says the De¬
lineator. The little girls wear
straight pleated skirts with bretelles
or suspenders, and double-breasted
box coats that are childish looking in
spite of being tailor made.
The older girls wear the smart sin¬
gle-breasted coats with a pointed out¬
line at the bottom., which gives the
figure a graceful little dip. The
pleated skirt is prettier than the
gored one for this kind of a suit. If
the autumn tailor-made is to be worn
again in the spring, choose a color
that will look well in warm weather;
navy or royal blue is good for either
season—so is golden brown or smoke
gray or a pretty check.
For every day wear throughout the
school year there is nothing prettier
for a girl, whether she is eight or
eighteen, than the regulation sailor
suit in dark blue serge. In fact,
many boarding schools require it
during school hours, and the effect
produced by it when it is worn by all
students Is very pretty,
For the warm days in the autumn
and the long stretch of hot weather
in May and June a girl should have
plenty of simple tub dresses. Even
the six and eight cent wash fabrics
make up prettily and keep a girl
sweet and fresh looking, without in¬
volving any great expense. The
princess or semi-princess jumper
dresses and the separate jumper
joined under a belt to a pretty skirt
are the neatest kinds of dresses.
For rainy days there should be a
walking skirt, a flannel waist or two
and a long storm coat. There is the
sweater or jersey for outdoor sports.
and the gymnasium suit required by
most schools. These things complete
the list of the ordinary daytime out
St
For the dinner hour, white serge
or cloth, etamines and voiles in pale
blues or pinks, or dainty dresden
silks make appropriate little dresses'
that can be worn fall, winter and
spring. These dresses need not rep
resent any great expenditure—in fact
they should be most simple, and
their beauty should lie in their dain
tiness and freshness, The younger
children will need a greater supply
than the older girls, for they are al
ways meeting with calamities, On
the other hand, the older girl will

Some Popular Fallacies Recurd*
ing Consumption,
“Altitude has nothing to do with
either the grov.cii or the cure of tu¬
berculosis.” said Dr. Joseph Walsh,
of the Phipps institute, in an ad¬
dress before the Plastic Club.
“Many persons go to White Ha¬
ven with the idea that it is the cli¬
mate that is cubing them,” he said,
"and, failing to enter the sanitarium,
live in the farmhouses near it, be¬
lieving that they are doing the next
best thing. It is not the air of White
Haven which cures. It is the discip¬
line. Those who go to the farm¬
houses might as well stay in their
homes. At the sanitarium the diet
consists of one solid meal each day,
six raw eggs and as much milk as
can be consumed. The patient is
forced to absorb an unusual quan¬
tity of food. The part the air plays
in this is to furnish the oxygen for
the combustion cf this food and the
consequent building up of the body
through its assimilation of that food.
“Many persons have an idea that
this air must be cold air. It is not
so, but it must be air from which
the oxygen has not been taken. I
do not know that there would be any
reason why the consumptive should
not breathe heated air if it were pure.
No one should ever sleep In the same
bed or in the same room with an¬
other where it is possible to do
otherwise.
“No one should breathe the air of
a room which has been heated by a
gas stove or by a coal oil heater, for
the reason that both of these throw
upon the atmosphere the products of
combustion to be taken into the
lungs.
“No house should ever be swept
without a previous moistening of the
floor, because this dry sweeping may
throw the germs of tuberculosis into
the air. A cold has no closer rela¬
tion to consumption than has any
other disease which may lessen the
body’s power of resistance.”
Dr. Walsh gavd some interesting
figures showing that the death rate
from tuberculosis was one-fourth less
in 1892 than it was in 1861. He
said that the autopsy table showed
that fifty per cent, of the adults of
this country suffered from tubercu¬
losis at some time in their lives, and
that of these seventy-five per cent,
recovered.—Philadelphia Public Led¬
ger.
. SCHEME TO SELL PAPERS.
Latl With a Bandaged Wrist and An¬
other to Annoy Him the Proprietors.
A small boy with an armful of
newspapers was struggling with an¬
other at the mouth of the subway
station, giving vent to subdued cries
the while.
“Git away! Look out fer me
arm!” he said to the other, who had
no papers to sell.
They made just enough noise to
attract the attention of the persons
leaving the subway and then the boy
with the papers shoved in front of
the travelers a wrist heavily band¬
aged and appealed for patronage on
that ground.
“I’ll bet he and the other boy
divvy on the sales the boy with the
bandaged hand makes. I think their
scrapping is all a plant,” said one
man who refused to buy a paper.
“All he wants to do is to call atten¬
tion. There mayn’t even be a sore
underneath it.”—New York Sun.
Looking For the Twin Sister*.
Superintendent W. C. Day, of pub¬
lic buildings and grounds, is endeav¬
oring to secure for the State of Te c as
to be preserved as relics, two cannon
known as the Twin Sisters, which
were presented by the citizens of Cin¬
cinnati to the Texas army in 1835,
recc-ived by General Sam Houston
and used by him in the battle of San
Jacinto against the Mexican army
under General Santa Anna,
j The difficulty is that he is unable
to locate the guns. They were last
heard of at New Orleans, where they
were stored in the United States ar¬
senal with other military supplies and
equipment surrendered by Texas
when admitted into the Union.—Aus¬
