The wives of French deputies, by reason of the husbands' office, enjoy one very pretty distinction in the Paris world which is eminently characteristic ot the beautiful-spirit animating the French, individually considered. That is, the wife of the deputy conceives it to be a moral obligation devolving upon her to look after the poor in Paris who have come originally from her husband's district.

Every separate department in France is a Bingular social unity. The peasant from Pas-de-Calats, from Ardennes, from Loire, from where not, speaks lovingly of his "pays," and he means not France, but Pas-de-Calais, Ardennes, Loire, or the dlsi trict where his home is located, which is to him pre-eminently the country of his heart. Neighbors there so marry and Intermarry that the people of one "pays" are often nearly all of one family, and are always of one heart and of one profound sentiment of sym pathy. On such basis, the members of each "pays" dwelling in Paris are organized for charitable purposes, and at the head of this work appears the wife of the deputy representing the district. In one instance the woman exercising this gentle office incident to political position in France ia an Amer ican, the daughter of Mrs.

Bellamy Storer and the wife of the Marquis de Chambrun, who represents In the French Parliament the District ot Lozere. Harper's Bazar. A MUSICAL SOIREE. On Friday evening, March It, Mr. and Mrs.

Each member wore a large bow of the club colors, and after the theater they adjourned to the Arena for supper, where the committee had arranged for the handsomest room In the place and also for a piano. The menu cards were very handsome souvenirs. Favors for the women were silver spoons, and for the men, glasses.

The South Side Improvement Association will hold a mass meeting to-morrow night at Pitkin Hall, Linwood street and Pitkin avenue, for the discussion of school conditions of the Twenty-sixth' Ward, and to try to devise means to improve the facilities for the attendance of school children. The members ot the local Board of Education are expected to be present and the matter will be laid before them.

It is claimed that some ot the children of tender years are compelled daily to walk a distance of thirty-two blocks in order to attend school. IN THE MARKETS. The price ot butter at wholesale declined on Saturday last 1 cent per pound. Yesterday a further 1 cent per pound was dropped from the postej official quotations of the Mercantile Exchange. Receipts are no larger than they were at the same stage of the season last year, so that the 4 cents per pound lower range now, than then, is not fully accounted for.

The only explanation offered Is that of Inferior quality and objectionable flavor in the greater bulk of the arrivals which Interferes with transactions. Perhaps an equally good reason, some butter men say. Is that the large quantity ot stor age stocks, which holders are endeavoring to work oil at any prices obtainable, weakens the value of even best goods. Retailers prices this week, per pound, are, 29 to 82 cents for Elgin and best tub packed: 33 to 84 cents for ordinary prints; 35 cents for prints from pasteurized cream, and 40 cents for sweet or unsaited butter, The recent heavy decline in the price of eggs has stimulated largely increased con sumption of the commodity and demand, un der uniformity of good quality, now ab sorbs all receipts on arrival. Prices at wholesale are a trifle above those of last year at this time and considerably higher than they were in either of the ten years preceding.

Advices promise continuance of fair supply, but receivers and experienced dealers are not anticipating any lower prices except as may temporarily occur. Retailers now give 10 to 11 of the ordi nary run ot fresh laid, and 9 selected, eggs for 25 cents. WEE FOLK. 1 yard 27 or 32 or yard 44 inches wide. Pattern No' 'W ma'r be 1 to 4 years.

THE ART OF LISTENING WELL. The '-Pleasantest Woman You Had Met in a Long While." Did You Fathom the Secret of Her Pleasing Personality? They all seem to think thai they must talk, talk, talk do these men and women, young and old, who come to me, declaring their stupidity and cotifidin thei." yearning for a better manner in society.

And their talk must snap and sparkle, so they think, in their blindness. Perhaps you think of yourself in that same way. Stop one moment, then, and let me remind you of the social meeting at which you really enjoyed yourself. There must have been such a time an evening that left you In a glow of pleasant self confidence. I am sure that you can remember, for such times come to all of us even to those of us who have least ability in expressing our thoughts.

I am telling it to you over again because there's a moral In it. That was the evening when you found yourself talking well. Your thoughts ran straight and clear. At every link of thought, in a lightning flash, you would view and gather all other thoughts that could make that link of conversation brighter. The Silent Answer.

Do you remember what a really charming woman or man you were speaking to? Do you remember every time you turned your eyes to her, her eyes looked back at you, absorbed In what you were saying? Do you remember the quick assent or dissent, the surprise or wonder or admiration, or shock that she expressed? And do you remember how she expressed them? Sometimes in questions but seldom. Sometimes in a single quick word. Often-er in tiny monosyllables the little ejacu lations thai, spoken at the right instant and in the right tone, can tell such volumes. Oftenest of all she told them with her eyes, her eyebrows, her head, her hands. And all this helped you to talk.

You felt her earnest attention like a kindly stimu lant, making your brain clearer, your thoughts more brilliant, your words more facile. You felt that it was not a mere onesided conversation, her silent answers were so quick and apt that you never noticed that you were doing all the real talking. Y'ou enjoyed that evening. Y'ou felt that you had acquitted yourself well. And behind that feeling was another you had been talking to some one who was very, very pleasant.

Yes, indeed, a wonderfully pleasant personality! Seldom had you met one for whom you felt such a marked social attraction, in whom you found such honest sympathy. A Pleasant Memory. Later on, perhaps, your self-esteem may have fallen again to normal you found, in speaking to other people, that you were not such a clever talker after all. But the memory of that pleasant personality remained undimmed a person well worth talking to. And did no hint ot truth float faintly through your thoughts? Have you lived until now, when you read this, before you realized why she pleased you? She was a "good listener priestess of that rarest, finest art of social life.

And what you thought was your little social victory, in reality was hers for, while she may not remember the quality of your talk, you cannot forget the delicious quality ot her listening. You thought that she was pleased with you. She knew that you were pleased with her. The "Pleasure of Pleasing." You have no reason to be dejected, though, for you, all unconsciously, made a pleasing mark on her memory. Not by your talk, but by the fact that, through her art, she gave you pleasure.

She, too, felt a glow pride at her success. For you see she knew that you were pleased with her though twenty words perhaps were all she spoke. Therein lay all the finesse of her art. And through her art she finds a higher, keener pleasure in social life than do those who talk to her the joy of pleaeing as compared to the joy of being pleased. That Isn't as subtle a distinction as it seems.

It's very plain and clear to those who once have felt "the pleasure ot pleasing." Pitfall of Social Novices. Do you think her art was hard to learn? Far from it. Or hard to practice? That depends upon her power of self-denial. The sound of her own voice in as pleasant to her as yours Is to you, remember; for she Is only human as human as you are. Ah, the lure of that temptation the sound of one's own voice and one's own opinions! Beware of it the first pitfall in the path of social success.

And welt does the wise "Good Listener" know It. The great temptation is put behind her. That is her self-denial. Two things more remain the work of mental attention (it is real work) and the newer of expressing feeling and thought with eyebrows, eyes, with gesture or with single words to say the least and to tell the most. It is not so very hard.

The silent men and silent women often have this power, a power they little dream of. It is almost easy if you really follow attentively all that Is being eaid to you. "Throwing Away Thoughts." Imagine for a moment the mental process of that charming woman who listened so well to what you said. She was not merely liste.i- ing to your words. She was thinking your own thoughts, in step witn your own brain And when you paused, do you think her ready question so short, so apt was thrown out idlv.

merely to fill a gap? Did you fail to notice how the question opened up new lines ot pleasing tnougnts-and bright talk Did you think that she had not seen these new avenues even before the question was asked? Remember now, as you think it over, when she asked a question, what help to you that question was. Wise, artful little listener! You know, of course, that she had ideas of her own, quite as pleading to her as yours. And certainly you must know that they crowded, brilliant and tempting, through her brain as she followed your own thoughts. But she put them aside, holding them only long enough to see if they would be of any help to you in what you were saying. A thousand little diamonds of thought she threw away while she listened to you, and only one or two she used.

A Fine Unselfishness. That Is why her questions were so apt. For she hid, the thought in her question and a moment later you told it back to her, little dreaming thut it first was hers. There Is the great secret of "Good Listening" or, for that matter, of Good Conversationthe rejection of every thought, no matter how brilliant or pleasing, ihat has not real value in relation to the thoughts that are being spoken to you at the Instant. It Is a fine, high form of unselfishness for we all love our own opinions, and wish to speak them.

But the "Good Listener" must be, before everything else, unselfish. And still, for all the unselfishness, the "Good Listener" succeeds wins friends, and Edwaid Carroll, Speaker at Flat-bush League Meeting.

Martin Declares That Bad Boys Need It, and It Will Be Used Justly. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Having read the article by Henry W. Fischer, published in your issue of February 2ii, 11104, I cannot resist writing to ask why he continually uses the word "pummel" to illustrate what will happen to the children if the rod is reintroduced into the public schools, I attended a public school in Brooklyn-for many years before the rod was abolished and saw many children (boys) subjected to its Influence, but they were never "putu-meled," merely hit on the palm of each hand with the rod from one to five strokes, as the case may warrant, and they certainly did not suffer thereby from "water on the brain" or go "crazy," or any of the othor dreadful things quoted by Mr. Fischer. Ho is all wrong when he threatens to pummel the teacher for having his child punished (he uses the word "pummel," which is not correct, as the act of striking a boy on the hand with a rod is not pummeling as the teacher does not, and never did in the public school, punish the boy, but he is sent to the principal of the school, who makes "the punishment fit the crime," does it after he has investigated the matter, and does It coolly and calmly, not being personally angry or enraged he generally Is just in his measurement of the number of strokes.

To a bad boy, such as really needs the rod, and there are plenty of them, notwithstanding Mr. Fischer; a severe talking to or being kept after hours is just fun, for it's no sooner over than he takes pains to show the other boys how little he cares for it; how little it affected him, which immediately encourages other boys to break the rules and misbehave, as only the fear of a rod had made them obey their teacher. Boys are bad enough at any time for a teacher to control and keep in order, so that the lessons may go on intelligently, and all time taken from them to keep unruly boys in order is just so much time stolen from those of the class who come to learn. "Spare the rod and spoil the child" Is still true. But reintroducing the rod in the schools does not give permission to any teacher or principal to beat, maim or even pommel any child, and no one who ever attended a public school in this country would suppose it did.

Perhaps Mr. Fischer attended school in Germany or some other foreign country where they punish children in the manner he quotes, in which case he zht be excused for getting so excited over the subject, butlthink ltwill keep him awake nights to get up any such list ot the results of punishments visited on the children of the public schools of America. In making up his list of those dire results I wonder why he did not go way back to the dark ages. He might have found a few ter rible cases in the time of Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. He certainly would punish his child if it disobeyed him at home and with a rod, too (and not on the hands), if he found moral suasion did not correct some vicious habit; how much more, then, would the child de serve the rod in a place where his misdeeds set a bad example for some fifty or sixty other boys to follow.

Perhaps he does not understand that the rod is not used in school except as a last resort. Teachers nor principals here are not brutes, even if he can name some who lived in Europe a hundred years ago. FRANK B. MARTIN. Brooklyn, March 1, 1904.

TRY THE CRAFTS. Suggestion for Those Who Find the Art Field Overcrowded. It is to be hoped that one result of the innovation of conferring dignity Uj.on "crafts" will be to suggest to the majority of art students the desirability of taking up some one of the minor branches of art rather than to join the forlorn hope of those whose ambition it is to become illustrators, or easol or portait painters, says the Art Interchange. The American public has not as yet the picture-buying habit" except in regard to the cheaper grade of reproductions. The ambition of the man in the street and his family is not to adorn the home with fine original paintings, but to get expensive furnishings, pianos, bric-a-brac, fine table china, and to clothe themselves in even -costlier raiment, than their purse can afford.

This general Indifference to the ownership of paintings of course limits the market where such products can be disposed of. Beside which, even the comparatively few who buy give native talent the go-by and Invest in the work of foreign artists. Th2 outlook then for sales of the fine nris is not encouraging, a fact that appears to be out pari ly apprehended by those ivho so gayly take up the study of art as a lifework. There Is, to be sure, a demand for Illustrating, but lhe field is filled to overcrowding with proficient pen and brush men and womec who cannot get enough out ot Illustrating to make a comfortable living. To-day many publishers are paying $1 where they paid Jo for sketches a halt dozen years ago and with the constant accession of recruits to lhe ranks of workers there is no hope of condi tions improving.

A practical knowledge of the principles of art Is a most desirable nc quisition, and far be it from the writer of these lines to say aught to discourage an Interest in the study of art. What is here urged is that students should delude them selves with no false hopes as to the money advantage they are to reap later. Once dignify "crafts' and hundreds of art students will temper their ambitions to the minor role of craftsmen, a profession in which invention and technical skill are Im perative and in which genius itself need not disdain to engage. The craftsman, without abating one Jot of the excellence of his woik, can make a more successful appeal to ths public than can those who express them-selves through what are known as the dis tinctly fine arts.

"The Beginnings of the New England Story as Told by the Women." was the theme upon which Miss Susan Hayes Ward of Newark, N.

Me. Mrs. Stowe, she said, always declared her education to have been mostly hv nature. Her genius sprang from New soil and she wrote the most in- tensely human stories. Rose Terry Cooke was next considered, and a manuscript of one ot her '-tories passed around tor inspection.

Speaking of her personal characteristics. Miss Ward said that she thought ot everything like a woman, but did things like a man, and though a little hard on the ministers, she did understand the country people she wrote of. Sarah Orne Jcwott she held to have given a perfect illustration of the New England story. She knew and entered into the life of the humble people and understood all its little joys. Mary Wilkins.

THE TAILORED GOWN. The severely plain tailored gown is very hard to find. Instead of the plain severity of the tailored dress one sees the gown with its shoulder capes, three deep, and its slole fronts. One sees the tailored dress, with iis stitched and strqpped hips, and its very full flounce. And there is the English tailored gown, with its elaborate vest of Oriental finish and design; and its cuffs, elbow deep, with embroidery and lace and trimmed with a design upon the shoulder.

The very round, very full skirts must be long; they must he cut slightly trained in the back and a little longer than the ground ou the front and the sides. The full skirt must also be arranged as to its folds, so that there is a sweeping appearance with the lines all extending down from the belt, while around the foot there is a full flounce to set off and finish the skirt. Velvet, that queen of the winter, now rules the fashions in their springtime. A thin velvet suit can be recommended as a general utility gown for it makes a handsome carriage or promenade dress; it is very fine for a visiting gown; it is quite ceremonious enough for receptions. And, for a gown to have in the wardrobe.

It can be highly recom- mended to every woman who desires to be sure of one nice dress all the season. Velveteen has come into high vogue lately. No one supposed that it would ever be so popular for the making of nice gowns. II was once wofn surreptitiously as an imitation velvet, but It now comes out frankly as velveteen. It is fine and soft, comes in many shades, and.

Mrs. W. T. W. writes: Will you kindly give me the recipes for making French dressing and mayonnaise? French Dressing.

Have a chilled bowl or soup plate, In this put half a teaspoon of salt, a quarter of teaspoon of white pepper and a dash of paprika or cayenno. Add three tablespoons of good salad oil, also chilled, and with wooden paddle or salad spoon beat the materials together until the salt Is dissolved, then pour in Blowly one tablespoon of vinegar and beat to a thick, light colored emulsion.
