Ou Saturday we jtoddciuly become conscious of the importance of mankind, for we arc "n- iormcrt that the gentlemen will arrive on the 0 o'clock train.

She declines to put a pocket in skirt. She expects: you -to tack your liiuidker thie-J up your sleeve, Or to keep it in your and she counts on your being willing to carry -your purse -in your hand aud cha-uce losing It-. With the average dressmaker I have a standing quarrel on the subject of pockets. A pocket 1 will have, 1 Insist upon having, a-nd I do get. Of course, I don't want to put-in my pocket all Uie things a man carries In his five or seven or or number belongs to him.

but still I like to know that there Is place in which I can slip a love letter or a bill, or keep the always nec- hatirphW A purse, knife, a landkorchlef, a watch, a pencil, a memorandum book and a snuff bos are only 'tew of -the tJiiugs that men carry in pockets. -Some-men-have looso bite of candy, and when this candy gets covered with snuff or tobacco, it. lacks the delicacy of taste It had when it atarted. Some other mem cany a whole writing get-up; that to, fl small pad of paper, ouc of those pens that holds and is stopped up when you wish to use a collection of postage stamps Other men Indulge In. cigarettes and cards, while still other men wear on those double clmins and conceal In their pockets not only great bunches of knys but often two and sometimes three watches.

The three watches are worn to see what-time It is in America, Bag land and Ilussia. Speaking of snuff, wlilch the extremely smart, inidiHo-agcd man Just now taking up again. It.is the most thing TO FIXD A GOOD SNUFF BOX. Just try if you want to give one to wmobody. 9 11 Cllu BCt l)OQb011 you win got slump' boxes, but a snuff box ought not to have a hinge, for the itaiitr collects In it and makcw the shut ting somewhat difficult.

Then, too, box must lie (hit, so that it wil not make the waistcoat bulge, and ye it must hold suniciont snuff for at leasi lialf a day. To be very swell, you rims make effort to get the Pope's snuff I bave smelt it. and its odor is decidedly good. I am told that the Pope has a preat liking for perfumes, the snuff nsed by him Is not only madf of the uuent tobacco, but It is pcrfumet with iittar of roses. Baltimore Is prom of the fact Mint it made there n-m 1 under the direction of no good a judgi of snuff as Gibbons.

Did she really lirst call lu parvo? I hate Latin nit that Just expresses the posslbill- of this part of woman's costume.

Xow, Miss Be-ity is nothing It' not proper, aud vc-t she confessed, with a faint blush. 'tot of all the nusi hn history slito HlwJ Charles the Second the besr. She said thought hn would been differ- oat of tlie proper iuHuence through woman, had ln'On brought to bear upon him, aud yet she was not sure Hunt she would have liked him quite so well it' lie had been From UIP Hegiuiilug of the world WOMKX IIAVK ADOliliD RASCALS iaiterestvd lu Who cares for the good -boy of the family? Ask the average woman about her hero, she will select one of the French Louis, probably Louis the Fourteenth. Sho likes his good his fine manners, and is sure lie must have been fascinating, else many women could not Have cared for him. She has .1 loaning towards llk-helieu.

towards liobespierre. and an expressed fondness for -Sheridan-. I think Disraeli stsunds foremost my affections. Mi-n'say of him that tie the most conceited mail rhal ever lived: but women, who are wiser than men, know that he had much to be conceited about. Th'e story of his life, tlie story of his nmbiitions, his public speeches, his written books nud his inner life all combined, have a wonderful rasdlaiivctou for wonirai, and draw the feminine heart to Win.

Just take up one of his novels If you want to convince yourself of his thorough understanding, not only of women, umd of love, but of society. He had the wisdom to marry a he never grew tired of her; while she had tho wisdom to care for him as he wished to bo cared "for, so that he never of her. He said Hunt he believed IF TWO PEOPLE WISHED TO LIVE HAPPILY they should see very little of each other i-n the daytime, should visit at different houses and meet, after'midnight, to discuss whatever was interesting, over cold chicken and champagne. What wise man he was. Disraeli suggests ptitnrwses a-nd primroses suggest to me that right here under my own eyes, old, old story la being told again, and that the old, old fashion of making love is to the fore.

Every- morning Nanny comes into breakfast wtitli a wonderful bivnicb of flowers tut belt. At first, I only thought that she iiad been out in the garden a walk, and that- tlite--was-tire- result- of her early visit-to the flower one morn- Ing I noticed that her bouquet was largely composed of primroses and purple pansi-es, 'such pa-nsles'as only grow In Mrs. Jim Johnson's beautiful garden. TJic story is plain to Every morning as young Jim Johnson goes down to the village he Is studying law under the single iudge, who Js the --power, he leaves a bouquet on tlie gate post, and Nanny, quoerly it. It would be cruel, but it would be Interesting to get up early a'nd go down and pre-empt that bouquet.

I wonder what Nnnuy think If sawder pnnsles dn tlie belt of another woman? She would prob- nbly think the truth, ns she is the only absolutely young-glil lu the house. THE SIGN OF LOVE. It. almost as pretty as seeing two birds making love to watch one young girl when she Is flrst eoasclous that young man's heart -Is drawn towards her. She flushes; Is nervous aud nhe Hits around Iti quick sort of a way exactly ns the yellow canary bird does In Its cage when the bird In the othor window trills a'partlcularly sweet It Is a -good thing, this old-fash- love! It keeps everybody ybungl Even the lookers on nnfl their hearts love Is always' spiritual a-nd- that is I ho reason why no wise woman marries lier love.

In marriage, a little thought must be. given to tho material. The bread and butter of the future Ls to be considered. It is impossible to live without loving words, and It Is also Impossible to llva entirely upon rliem. That the why It Is well for a boy to learn the value of money elnce, through It, he can care properly for woman tami whom- ho wJaiiftt loving and loving kindness, BAB KNOWS WHAT MONEY IS.

I iievur pretend to undervalue money. I tlhtnk it. a great blessing. A nice. ktod mam wrote me a letter and askod me what I thought of the.

silver question. To be quite honest, I do nol think very much about lr, but I do know this Is much ulcer to lianfllo. Then, loo, I remember the day of the trade lM', Uat siwiful day when ujie not know wilicifflici 1 one's dollar represented olglvfy-elght cenls or one hundred of them. Silver is not pleasant in th-e purse. A iiiiioi who a great deal -s -that If we have -silver we will not be counted Ijoncst by foreigners.

I do iiotithlnk we are counted particularly howst by As a nation-, wo are too forgiving. overlook tire anid the guuilciuim thief as a person whc Is to be. regarded with sympathy. Or.r law courts nrc Inughed at by people of (lie Old World, and when we say honesty, they tell us that wu do not know what wu.are talking about; thai we are not an. immortal nataon as far as honesty goes, but ntuiiim as fair as -iKmesty ftivs.

I do uot like those words business ability. Ability ought to' mean cnpa.blllty lu t-ho direction of honesty, in the direction of underselling in one way and overselling in another.

You see I am not strong on the silver question, ShonsOi I Hkluigr it sllvev spoon to eat with, and a silver-backed brusih for my lialr, but I am particularly strong on honest basis for nil bus iuess deals. When we are honest; In our business life we w4H be honest In our daily Hife. Honesty should permeate -oiu-'mlnd. la the old days a girl was itanglit to be virtuous ami a boy- was taught to be honest, and all society morally was In a ttettei- state than It aow. Today, it enough if our women dress well and our men make money.

There Is no mention of either these two tilings in th'e Ten Commandments I thtak there to tine New Testament, but still ns we read translations, the old books can be twisted around to suit the morals of the day. Whnt are THE MORALS OF THE DAY. The cliief rule seems to be to get as InucU out of your neighbor as you cau and to do as little for your neighbor a you can, It is a bad law, one that Is not good to live by, nor to die by; and thait is wlnat wo have got to 'think of. Not only the living but the dying. The sweetest old writer who belonged to the days that hiive gone, gave the world a great book one on Holy Living.

Then he wrote one on Holy Dying. He knew that wfiait wo did here counted for w.hat we did In the hereafter and he combined Ohe two, That Is what we want to do. Live so that our dying will be Try to?
