Child (in hitch, shrill treble) Mamma, did you get pupu's birthday present V "Yes, dearest." "What did you get, mamma?" "Cigars, lovey." "The cheap ones that Aunt Millie told you about Y" Silence from mamma, but a heightened flush on her face that was not entirely the reflection from "dearest lovey's" red velvet hat. "Mamma, that man over there has on a dreadfully dirty necktie. You told papa the other day that no gentleman would wear a soiled necktie." Man glares and pulls his overcoat ahout liis neck. "Mildred, stop talking!" Mildred was silent for half a block. "Mamma, that lady over there forgot to polish her shoes this morning." Lady in haiid«oine tailor made broadcloth draws her unmistakably badly clad feet under her dre«s with a look of anger at the golden haired child. "Mamma, let me have some of my can dy," trigging at the box in her mother's hands. "Mildred, do keep still. It is not good manners to eat on a street car." '"Mamma, those young ladies have aw ful bad manners, haven't they?" And mamma looked up to see that two hand somely attired daughters of a woman wUuuisheliail been dying to be on intimate terms with were sitting in the far end of the car sampling a box of bonbons and who cut her dead as they looked into her eyes. "Mildred, I will certainly spank yon good when I get yon home if you don't sit down and quit talking," in suppres d whisper from the enraged mamma. Then Mildred turned her attention to outside things, dusting the pretty dove colored cloth gown of the lady next to her as she squirmed upon the seat. "Oh, mamma!" with a tug at her moth er's shoulder. "Look quick! Isn't that the young man who lives next door to us that you told Aunt Mildred had such •soulful' eyes?" Mamma's reply was not audible, but her actions were. The car stopped just then, and she yanked "deare>t lovey" by the arm and lifted her into the street in a way that presaged "disturbed condi tions" in the atmosphere of that house hold, with "somo dampness."—Washing ton Star. Japan'* IniprfKnnliilltf. The coast of Japan, notwithstanding Its long shore line and numerous har bors, offers scant allurement to an in vading army. There is very little beach. The bold crags and bluffs over looking every spot where a modern war vessel can ride at anchor are pro tected by strong fortifications defended by the most modern guns. Yeddo bay. the most feasible bight for invading purposes, needs careful navigation even by steamers of moder ate draft. When torpedoes are planted. It 1a simply impregnable, says a writer In Collier's Weekly. When the war with China broke out, a small steamer was selected to pilot merchant steam ers up and down the bay. I remember perfectly the unexpected curves made by this steamer, showing plainly the countless dangers besetting a hostile fleet regardless of the care that may be used In feeling its way. No invad ing army could possibly land, and even If it succeeded in doing so the rice fields, readily submerged as they are, would aid materially in thwarting the advance and in isolating the enemy. A successful invasion of Japan is simply Impossible. Translator*' Stnmhlinß HlorU*. Some amusing instances of trans lators' misunderstandings are mention ed by the London Daily News. An Italian paper not long ago turned Mr. Budyard Kipling's "Absentminded Beg gar" into a "Distracted Mendicant." A footnote to the same version explain ed "son of a Lambeth publican" as a reference to Mr. Kruger! The trans- \ lator who explains is often lost. Another Italian editor who translat ed a passage from an English paper about a man who had killed his wife with a poker added an ingenuous foot note to say, "We do not know with cer tainty whether this thing 'pokero' be a domestic or surgical Instrument." In the French version of one of Scott's novels a Welsh rabbit has to be dealt with. The translator, never hav ing met with that article of food, nat urally turned it into "un la pin de Galles." Unfortunately he had some doubt whether his countrymen would understand this and added a lengthy footnote describing how the peculiarly delicious flavor of the rabbits of Wales created a large demand for them in Scotland, whither they were exported In bulk that would compare with the trade of Osteqd.

I'lie Way to Irou Shirt*—A Fm Point* on Pin* Pretty Fancy tito<'ka—Chieaico Women Who Snlui. Ileiintifnl I.ady llenry lientick. lowa club women have chosen Mrs. Alice A. C. Bailey of Des Moines as their chief. This lively bit of elec tioneering occurred at the biennial con vention of the lowa Federation of Wo men's Clubs at Council Bluffs, where, though opposed by most of the dele gates from her own city, she won with a flattering majority of votes. The op position was not personal, however, but was due to the fact that Mrs. Bai ley is the president elect of the big Des Moines Woman's club, and her promotion to the highest position in the state would Interfere, so said the Des Moines clul> women pointedly, with her official duties at home. Now that Mrs. Bailey has the coveted po litical plum it is expected that she will resign as president of the Des Moines Woman's club. Mrs. Bailey is an admirable type of club woman, politic and progressive. Associated with the lowa federation MBS. ALICE A. C. BAILEY. since its inception, first as recording secretary and then as corresponding secretary, she is qualified to hold the official reins for two years. Aside from work in the Des Moines Woman's club she Is connected with the D. A. R. and a conversation club In her own city. She is also known to club wo men outside the state and as an active alumna of the University of Wiscon sin. There is one splendid thing Mrs. Bailey proposes to do as president, and that is develop the rural club Idea. There is the Harrisburg Literary club, near Bonaparte, la., for instance, made up of 20 farmers' wives, many of whom drive miles every two weeks to hear a literary programme In some centrally located farmhouse. It is not the city club woman who needs the In spiration of club life so much as the isolated country woman, so contends Mrs. Bailey, and it Is hoped to make the"club for country women" numer ous in lowa. The Way to Iron Shirt*. For ironing fold the skirt straight down the middle of the back and Iron the body smooth, taking care to move the Iron mainly straight with the wrap. Next fold a sleeve flat along the sloped seam and Iron it upon both sides. Iron tlrst through the middle, then take hold of the wristband or shoulder with the left hand and hold taut till the Iron goes quite to the Joint. Open the wrist band, lay it Hat and Iron hard upon the wrong side, then turn upon the right side. Then comes the tug of war, other wise, ironing the bosom. First fasten the neckband properly. Next slip the bosom board inside the shirt and spread the bosom smooth upon It, pressing it out simultaneously with both hands. With a thin, clean cloth wet the whole linen surface light ly with weak, raw starch. Bub It In very well, and if any place feels sticky wipe It off with a cloth dipped In tepid water. Have the iron hot enough to yellow dry cloth if left to stand on it ten minutes. Begin at the bottom of the bosom and iron straight toward the neck, up the middle, holding the neckband in the left hand and pulling hard against the Iron. Here as much depends on the left hand as the right. The knack lies mainly in knowing how to pull properly. If the bosom wrinkles or forms one of the warps known to laundresses as "cat faces," wet the place with cleat water, stretch it smooth and Iron over again, Rub the iron over the white wax, also in the salt tray, to insure a perfectly smooth surface. If the starch is right—properly made and applied—it will not stick to the face. But if a yel lowy crust forms upon the iron tip scratch It off with a blunt knife and be sure to wax and salt polish the iron again before settling It on the shirt. When the whole bosom is smooth and nearly dry, take one of the polish ing irons, not quite so hot as the oth ers, rub the face of it with either pol ishing wax or white soap and press the bosom hard all over, bearing hardest upon the rounded iron point. Iron and polish cuffs on a flannel covered board. Wet them also with raw starch or, more properly, starch water. Press first upon the wrong side with a very hot iron and turn upon the fight side only when nearly dry. A Few I'otnt* on Fin*. The pins for the hair have a patent catch with blunt ends that do not tear l the hair. The long pins for the back of belt and collar are very flat and quite mar quise, if they are strictly fashionable, but there are some women of good taste who deviate from this and wear .'he long Frencn bugles of gold that are ijulte thin and artistic. But the flat ones are the prettier and keep tlje line of the figure more grace fully.

For a stock which can be depended upon to look well, wear \ 'be be coming there can be mentioi.it..: >!> < ■ of velvet, perfectly plain, with a little turnover edge of lace. The edge can be of embroidery if desired, though lace Is daintier. There are two trimmings very popular, one of which may be en tirely new. It is that of the hand paint ed Spanish lace applique, which is to be used so extensively this year upon yokes and flounces and upon skirts If enough of It can be obtained. Down in the old treasure chests there are un doubtedly yards and yards of Spanish lace, says the Montreal Star. This, If brought out, will be found to contain some lovely roses and leaves and other floral designs. Women of taste are painting these in their natural colors, choosing pink designs and coloring the Spanish lace roses until they are In ex quisite bloom. The roses are then cut out and are appliqued upon the yokes of satin waists or upon skirts as side panels, or are used for hip treatment. Flounces of net lace are appliqued with these Spanish lace flowers with most delightful results. <Juite a different style of applique, though a not less beautiful one, is that of the cretonne flower. Cretonne, with many women, is associated with chair coverings and cushions, but there comes this year a fine, datnty variety of this goods beau tifully figured and suitable for gowns. A whole gown of cretonne is scarcely to be thought of, but if the figures are cut out they make a very pretty ap plique and can be used in place of lace, especially upon cloth gowns or upon wash dresses. ChicuKo WnntPD Who Swim. The white marble swimming pool of the Chicago Woman's Athletic club is one of the most largely patronized places In that town now that warm weather is approaching. During the morning hours the bath is in constant use, and here may be seen many of the leaders of Chicago's swell set, arrayed in gorgeous spring style bathing gowns, doing aquatic "stunts" copied from the mermaids. The most skillful of all these fair swimmers is Miss Stella Ainiek, the swimming instructor. At some time during every morning the women pupils all sit around the edge of the pool with their feet hanging in the water and watch Miss Amick while she performs tricks which would make even the fishes stare, if there were any there. Among her accomplishments is her ability to float on her side, which, it Is said, not one person in a hundred can do. She can entirely submerge herself and walk on the bottom of the pool. One of her diving specialties is called "the sea lion," because, Instead of pointing her hands over her head in the usual manner, she keeps her arms at the side. And when It comes to somersaults in the water she can outdo even the small boy on terra firma. Among her more humorous perform ances Is her imitation of a starfish, when her arms and legs revolve in rapid succession about her body, and her Imitation of a bicycle scorcher, only the head In strained position be ing out of the water, while the pedal ing motions are made by climbing, as it were, through the water. Hoon For Hou*ekeeper*. An Ingenious inventor recently no ticed that housekeepers frequently find it very dittieult to keep their clothes lines in proper position, and, investi gating further, he learued that all those who have occasion to use ropes or cords are often somewhat puzzled when they are called upon to tighten them or to maintain them In a strained position. Consequently he set his brains to work and invented an instrument by means of which any rope or cord can be easily and securely tightened and held in position. The instrument con sists of an iron rod, at one end of which are two other small, perpendicu lar rods, while at the other end is a wooden handle, similar to a crank and which serves the same purpose. The slack portion of the cord is rolled around two perpendicular rods, and then by simply moving the crank the rope can be tightened to any extent desired. As soon as the crank begins to work the rope begins to wind itself around the rods, and when it is suffi ciently tightened the free end can be securely fastened by means of a prop. Deantlful I.tidy Henry. Lady Henry Bentlck Is as good as she is pretty and as accomplished as she is both fair and virtuous. At the last drawing room held by Queen Vic toria this blond flower of the north couutrle came to kiss her sovereign's hand, and, dim though the queen's eye- Bight was, she promptly commented on the fair loveliness of her youthful sub ject. It Is said on good authority that as Lady Henry went by the queen, turning to the Princess of Wales, said smilingly: "If I were young, I would ask that pretty woman to become a member of my household and have her portrait painted, as Mary II had Kuel ler paint her court beauties. It Is a delightful thing, my dear, to have sweet women always about one." Perhaps the present queen bore her predecessor's good advice in mind, for her court ladles, as chosen so far, are all fair to look upon, and Lady Henry Bentlck lias been commanded to serve in the great coronation celebration. In appearance this lady is a rare and very exquisite blonde, delicate of fea ture and possessed of a uniquely per fect throat. About her neck she In variably wears a string of wonder ful deeply pink pearls that are heir looms In the Bentlck family, which Is the family name of the enormously wealthy dukedom of Portland. Vonm In Fnrllninent. It is a fact seemingly known to very few people that there are actually la dies who have the right and privilege to sit In the British parliament, wrltea Clement Scott In The Free Lance. There can be no doubt, according to many excellent authorities, that those few people who are "peeresses In their own right" can claim to sit in the house of lords during any ordinary assembly of that house.

What would happen should any such lady venture to exercise her peeress' rights in that direction the imagination fails to conceive, but it ia easily seen that with the ideas which are at pres ent in the air with regard to the ad ■ ance of women we may ere long have ine peeress in her own right or even n re than one who will insist on these being accorded. Then what an upheaval of parliamentary tradition and custom there will be! The Dilatory Woman. When women have an appointment to meet down town at a certain place, each lingers In her own apartment un til the hour set for the meeting so that she won't have to wait an unconsciona ble time for the other at the rendez vous. Femininity is almost invariably late, even for business engagements, and any excuse it offers, however triv ial, it thinks should be accepted as valid. At catching trains and boats the dila tory sex Is nevertheless unusually adept. It is said by those who are fond of gathering such statistics that one woman misses a train to about ten men. Madam, however oblivious she may be of time in other matters, if she Is going away Is sure to be at the sta ! tion bright and early and with 20 min utes to spare. Whether this proves that the sex Is selfish or merely that it is, in the language of the times, "long head ed" is a question for consideration. Children and Sweet Staff*. It is necessary to make some kind of stand against the physical demoraliza tion of the rising generation by the in ordinate consumption of cheap confec tionery. Mrs. Creighton, the wife of the late bishop of London, has urged again and again the necessity for checking the wholesale consumption of sweet stuff by the children of the poorer classes, and It is admitted by the doc tors in jioor neighborhoods that It Is to the continual eating of lollipops that the wretched digestions, frequent gas tric troubles and enfeebled stamina of those who are to form the future back bone of the nation are due. What the public house Is to the father, the sweet stuff shop has become to the child. A Chinese Woman's Heroism. Stories are being told of the remark able heroism of I'an-Nanal, a Chinese woman who went through the siege of Tlen-tsln. On one occasion, when bul lets were coining in at the window as the English woman ou whom she was waiting was dressing, she stood and shielded her mistress with her body, saying, "They will have togo through uie tirst before they reach you." All Pan-Kanal's people, except her sister and her children, were massacred dur ing the siege. Do not darn fine woolen undergar ments with wool.

The German Crown Prince Freder ick William, who recently matriculated at Bonn university, lias developed a decided taste for music and is to study the art seriously.

If a traveler were to announce that he had discovered In some remote part of the globe an animal whose tongue was rooted In the front of its mouth, the tip pointing down the throat, and, further, that the creature's manner of breathing was so peculiar that the sur est way of suffocating it was to keep Its mouth fixed open, there would be some little curiosity about the "find." If the discoverer went onto say that the creature began existence as a fish, breathing by means of gills and hav ing a heart of only two chambers, but had undergone transformation, discard ing gills and gradually acquiring lungs, adding a third chamber to its heart, and so in the truest and most literal sense passing from the order of fishes to the order of reptiles, the public might even become excited about this extraordinary animal until It came out that it was no other than the common or gardeu frog. Then probably 10 per sons out of 20 would instantly cease to take any interest in the subject, if they did not feel some resentment against the man who had contrived to draw their attention for a time to such a common reptile. A Book Hanter's Worry. The worry of finding that a book la Incomplete is often to be expected. Often most respectable looking books have a page missing somewhere. One cannot trust even a folio that lias been connected with religious housies all Its life. It may be invincibly bound in the strongest calf; it may have passed all Its quiet, unread days behind glass and be as clean as ou the day on which it was issued, ami yet page 041 may have vanished. We once knew a man who had a firm belief in the devil and for this reason: He said that he could hardly count the Imperfect books by which he had been misled In his time, and in nearly every case these books had a highly respect able past. They hud grown mellow in monasteries or had been carefully tend ed In great libraries, where they were never touched except to be dusted. It seemed morally Impossible that harm could have come to these books, and yet each one had a page missing some where. Therefore he was reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the devil was in it. He supposed that when the devil was in need of more quotations he abstracted a page from some little read book, choosing it both In order that he might obtain a reputation for wisdom and also that he might not lie found out. We do not uphold this theory, but we do recommend the book hunter, so far as possible, to collate every book of any Importance which he may con template buying.—Macmillan's Maga zine. A Tall are In Coopering. A certain man who was once a prominent Kentucky politician was more a demagogue than a statesman. He was, according to Short Stories, in the habit of boasting that his father was a cooper in an obscure town in the state—that he was "one of the people" and didn't belong to the "kid gloved aristocracy." The "general's" great failing being his fondness for liquor, it will surprise no one to be told that the more he drunk the more loudly he declaimed his political sentiments and the prouder uf being the sou of a cooper lie became. During a political campaign, where his opponent was the southern orator, Tom Marshall, he had been unusually noisy and offensive In bis boasting regarding his obscure origin. In replying, Mar shall said, looking hard at the general: "Fellow citizens, my opponent's father may have been a very good cooper. I don't deny that; but I do say, gentlemen, that he put a mighty poor bead into that whisky barrel." A I.ove Letter of Prlnee Hlsmnrek. "On my window sill, among all sorts of crocuses and hyacinths, stand two camellias which always inspire me with strange thoughts. One of them, slender and pretty, with its ornamen tal crown (top) and soft, pale—very pale—pink blossoms, but little foliage and only two buds, transports me to Reddetln, holds itself rather stiffly and lisps English. The other makes far less Impression of beauty as you look at it, and its stalk betrays In its gnarl ed twisting lack of care in its pruning. From the midst of the foliage looks out a dead branch, but the crown Is rich in leaves, and the foliage is groen er than that of its neighbor. It gives promise of abundant blossoming in its eight buds, and Its color is deep dark red and white In irregular gay variega tion. Do you take the comparison amiss? It Is a lame comparison, more over, for I do not love camellias, be cause they are without odor, and you 1 love precisely on account of the fra grance of the flower of your spirit, which is white, dark red anil black."
