That you should not wear -stripes if you are tall or plaids if your are short stature. That a certain young girl should not give her pictures away so promis-ciously.

That a number of society girls here keep company with young men several years their juniors. That one of the prettiest girls in the city is extremely untidy and lacks both good taste and well-bred manners. That a certain young gentleman who has been keeping company with a young lady quite steadily for a year or more took an order for a solitaire last Sunday evening from the fair one. That a certain society young ladC here is said to have received and rejected proposals from three of the most eligible young men in the city, and her father Isn't a millionaire either. That a certain young girl here who has been engaged several times always keeps her engagements a secret.

She finds a more eligible young man from time to time and then quietly annals her old betrothal in order to better her chancos. That in stationery a pure white unruled paper with a monogram in silver or gold or the address of one's house are exclusively used by conservative people. This paper fits into square envelopes when folded once. Sealing wax is still used. That shopping is the chief occupation of the society woman nowadays.

She haunts the shops and stands around the windows admixing the new thing; in the way of hats and dress goods. Even if a woman does not care for shopping in the abstract at this time of the year, she is forced into it by the dilapidated condition of her wararobe. CHAT FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. WOMAN.

Perhaps no woman who ever lived was loved with a more ardent affection than the wife of Andrew Jackson.

The novel appliques fof linen are becoming extremely popular, giving a wonderfully good effect at the expense of a remarkably little time and trouble. The latest idea is to use them upon either silk or satin, and to cover them closely with stitches of colored filoselle. A new idea for keeping the complexion clear is never to use soap on the face, but to use butter instead. A little of this is rubbed over the face with a soft cloth and then removed by means of a second cloth. It renders the skin beautifully soft and elastic.

Buttermilk is an old-fashioned remedy for removing tan and sunburn. The new bonnets are chiefly black, in jet or velvet, or both with just a bright note of scarlet, turquoise, amethyst, or coral velvet.

While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

BROILING OR FRYING HAM. Select a ham of 15 or 16 pounds in known brand. Cut only from the ceu-, tre, and on each si.le of the ham clean to the bone; thus yon will avoid the necessity of- sawing the bone.

Tie sljees never be more than one-fourth of an inch thick, and one-six-of an inch is still better. A very sharp knife must be ued. Trim the skin from the upper side of each slice, and also cut from the other edge the outer rim of both mule and fat that has been hardened by smoking. Soak the slices an hour in cold water, drying caretnllv with a nankin, if vou have the slightest idea that the ham is very salt. Never use tpid or hot water, for ham as thev will harden the meat.

Have the broiler or frying pan already warm, but" do not put the ham in until the family sit at the table. Five minutes with a brisk, hot fire, but not fierce enough to scorch the meat, will give these thin slices ample cooking. Dish at once on a warm plate; it must not be too hot, as it will toughen the ham. If not eaten at once, but left by the fire to keep warm, all grateful juices are lost, and only a species of leather will remain. COLD BATHS.

St. Louis Post Dispatch: Cold water applied externally is a matchless tonic. Like other remedial agents, it is not adapted to every case. There are conditions of health as well as disease when a cold bath might be fatal iu effect. Peculiarities of temperament and disposition and individual susceptibilities must be considered in water cures.

Generally it is a wholesome habit to acquire and one that is rarely carried to excess. A cold bath is most beneficial taken when the system is relaxed by indolence, or mental unrest. During convalescence its cautious use is productive of the happiest results. A cold shock from a shower of water is often beneficial for constipation, while in catarrhal and liver troubles cold water is an essential in the treatment. Of course, attention to details is of the greatest importance.

Done in five minutes in a comfortable temperature and the whole body rubbed or brushed into a glow of warmth, the desired results should be obtained, whereas delay, negligence in making th toilet and ignorant exposure to chill will make the bath harmful instead of beneficial. People who take cold easily will find a daily cold bath an effectual prevention. For those unfortunates desig nated as nerve prostration, habitual cold dips before breakfast or after any great strain upon the nerves or emotions in business, domestic or social intercourse, promise the best results. Bilious, dyspeptic and corpulent women need the tonic effect of cold water at least once in twenty-four hours. When a great mental effort is to be made a cold plunge or needle bath begun and finished in three minutes will t.e found a regular brain brightener.

Nice calculating is needed to get the benefits' of the reaction. When serious questions are to be decided in conjunc tion, for example, with deeds, mortgages, proposals of marriage, punishment of children, ballot reform, election of cluh presidents, etc, women would reason better and think deeper after a large dose of cold water. At least that is the opinion and advice of the phys-icianj who had so much to do with the establishment of 'The People's Baths" about New York. On vf fri riisr.ino-nishprl lrinnprirart. ners in that city, whose school in Fifty-fourth street, is one ronnw of love-making and game-playing from September until July, will say to a mischievously disposed paper cutter: "Little man, shouldn't you like to go down stairs and have a nice cold bathY" When he gets it he is just a sweet, happy, responsive, docile little boy.

A bath is a response, not only "to nature's demand for cleanliness, but is conducive to moral purity, intellectual vigor, physical attractiveness, health and bodily comfort. The first step in refrmatory'work is a In reclaiming his lost humanity- the penitent instinctively turns to the bath room. The religion of soap and water is considerably older than the missionary society. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

No dainty woman will wear cheap hosiery. It is quite throwing away one's money to invest in them. Purchase only, a standard black that has proved its own worth by countless testimonies of true merit. Socks, in tainless onyx black are still worn more than any other hue, though those in tan and light brown are the latest fashion. It is a mistake to buy cheap hosierv.

from which the black will quickly run, leaving the dye that should remain in the stocking fabric to discolor the person. Speaking of the Boston wopian's attainments, Mrs. Dougherty, in her sxcellent article in the Forum, says: In Boston woman is valued socially injpro-portion to what she knows and can do well or, to put it correctly, what she has the reputation ot knowing and doing well. If it could be a pleasant thing anywhere for a woman to grow old, it would be so in Boston. In that city spinsters and widows, if they are am-bitiousand even tolerably healthy, never consider -it too late to fiud a vocation.

They would take up botany, china painting, social or political economy at 60 with a refreshing independence of their age. One of the secrets of being able to have one's plans frustrated without serious inconvenience is in 'oeing forehanded. Never allow work to accumulate if it is possible to do it. Keep everything in such order that a little neglect will not show. Occupy spare moments of the days that are not very busy ones, in doing work a little ahead of the time when it is actually needed.

Then one will be the mistress, and not the slave, of her housework, and the true work of the homemaker will bo accomplished. But ene may even be a slave to the idea of being forehanded; and many a housekeeper frets herself nearly to death in order to keep everything done ahead of time, so that there will be no accumulation of work. It becomes almost a mania; and though each season's work is done so long ahead of time that she could give herself weeks of complete rest, she eeins only to get it done in order to begin the next, and thus keeps herself as much a slave to her household work as if it were alwavs behindhand. The only advantage in doing work ahead of time is that one may do it easily, and at such convenient times that it will hardly seem to be work. If the habit becomes so fixed that it seems a necessity, the work has become the master, and the mistress of the house is the slave.

Despite the limited stage room and other inconven iences of the building, the performance was in the whole a creditable one and reflects credit upon the management The cantata was presented in four acts and the cast included over a hundred young ladies and girls among whom were some of our best local amateurs.

The leading characters in the cantata were: Recluse, F. H. Clark; Rose, Miss Clara Miller; Crocus, Mrs. Bruno Hobs; Sunflower, Mrs. D.

M. Thomas; uanaenon, jhiss Laiiian Welsh: Dahlia. Miss Edith Giiest; Japanica, Miss Leigh Reed; Helio rope, Miss Pearl Ingraham Lily, Miss Nannie Belle Haren; Holly hock, Miss Eva Welsh; Violet, Miss Minnie Albright; Mignonette, Miss Luella Price; Tulip, Miss Margery Lewis; Miss Edith Welch. Mr. Clark sang his part admirably, and Miss Miller made a decided hit as "The Flower Queen." Her singing was very sweet and unaffected.

Sirs. BrunolHobbs, Miss Lillian Welsh and several other young ladies distinguished themselves by the very excellent manner in which they sang and performed their respective parts. The music throughout was creditable but a few of the singers showed unmis-takeable symptoms of stage fright. This performance was open to just criticism at only one point and that deservedly falls on the presentation of the third act. The Heatherbells showed poor training, and what might have been one of the most charming acts of the evening was made ridiculous by blunders which any teacher in calisthenics might have overcome in a few lessons.

The little ones were "cute" and interesting even in the hap hazard performance and drew storms of applause from the audience, but the loss of the symmetry, grace and rythm of the drill was a source of disappointment to many. The chorus was composed of the following persons: Lottie Lee, Millie. Martin, Beulah JBowling, Jessie Graham, Belle Henry, Isabel Mills, Nellie Miller, Jessie Griest, Nellie Williams, Magge Hughes, Pearl Arnette, Alice Burnham, Emma Southey, Charlotte No thrap, Carrie Dickson, Lena Price, Franc Isbell, May Pickens, Ella Cowan Inez Wolfe, Bate Voss, Christine Caskey, Rose Walker, Annie Randies, May Albright, JNeme J. rower.
