Women's Kisses.
With real friends an affectionate
kiss now and then is all very well,
but ° why should one’s nice, fresh
cheeks be annoyed by the promiscu-
ous osculation of a crowd of girls and
women? And the worst of it is that
they only do it because they think it
civil, not because they like it.—The
“Throne.
When Sirens Bore.
Keen sportsmen at a shoot are apt
to be not a little impatient of the
woman who talks and titters at the
wrong moment, wears a red cloak,
points her gun at shooters, beaters
and birds with careless insouciance,
and makes incessant claims on their
attention and assistance. She may
be a siren at home in a tea gown, but
is safe to ba voted a bore.and a duf-
fer ‘when she tries her hand at the
business of sport.—Ladies’ Field.
Well-Kept Clothes.
No matter how well made a thing
is it soon takes on a shabby look
unless it is given the right sort of
care.
Many a woman who thinks she
takes care of her clothes, takes a
dress off, flinging the skirt careless-
ly over the back of a chair, and leav-
ing it there for several hours, per-
haps to take on ugly creases. .
Perhaps to send your things to a
tailor every little while Is too much
of a strain financially. Be your own
tailor, then, so far as pressing and
cleaning and the rest of it goes.
To Make College Flags.
College flags are quite simple, but
require care and much precision in
putting the letters or as well as in
cutting them.
A good plan is to cut your letters
from stiff cardboard and trace around
them on the felt, afterward cutting
with a sharp knife.
In mounting tuese on the felt tack-
ground paste them on with a very
thin coating of photograph paste and
couch around all edges with many
strands of silk caught down at regu-
lar intervals with a single strand of
the same color.
Try to Look Dainty.
Don't fail to look dainty. It is the
most expressive word which can be
applied to a woman.
A woman may be stylish, well
dressed, good looking and lots of
other things without any consider-
able expense, but to live up to the
requirements of ‘‘dainty’’ means
something more.
It means absolute freshness of
neckties, gloves, etc.,, and can be

ns if she will have a weekly

to Good Old Names.
“I was looking over the society col-

oi the old school to the New York
correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, ‘‘and it did my heart good to
see how people have returned to the
good old habit of giving their girls
names that stand for dignity, poetry
and the traditions of our race.
‘There was not a Sallie, a Mamie

Spanish Politeness.
It has been said that the French
are the most polite people in the
world, writes our lady correspondent
in San Sebastian, but I do not think
any one who really knows them will
agree. However, they have some
charming little ways, and when they
are rude it is because they are, deep
down, thoroughly selfish. My per-
sonal opinion is that the Spaniard is
about the most delightfully polite
person one can possibly encounter.
If you ask your way in the street, of
some ordinary woman, she will al-
most certainly go out of her way to
accompany you down the street and
to carefully put you on the right
road. - They are very cheerful and
gay, but they are never vulgar—as
we understand the word in England.
Even the men in the streets who
stand and frankly stare at a pretty
girl do it in a light hearted, pleasant
way which does not give offense. As
to the manners of Spanish men be-
longing to the best society, they are
almost perfect. "Watch a Spaniard of
distinction address his mother or-any
elderly lady, and you will see a man-
ner which is tender and caressing,
and at the’same time exquisitely pro-
tective.—London Tribune.
Can Women Be Friends?
Can women be friends? History
and tradition abound in evidences of
great and enduring attachments
among men. ‘‘The soul of Jonathan
was knit with the soul of David’ so
firmly that the Hebrew prince did
not hesitate to invite the wrath of the
great king, his father, and himself
forfeit the crown; the Pythagorean
Damon was happy. to pledge his very
life for the doubtful reappearance of
Pythias; even the egoist Montaigne
was so much affected by the death of
La Boetie that, to escape from his
melancholy, he ‘chose a new mis-
tress,” and at intervals to the day of
his death, in the words of his own
journal, ‘““was suddenly seized with
such painful thoughts of his friend,
and it was long before he came to
himself, that it did him much harm.”
Subjecting this emotion to analysis,
in conformity with his custom, he
reached the conclusion that true
friendship could exist only between
beings wholly independent one of an-
other. A father could not hold the
relationship toward his son, because
of the stronger paternal attitude and
the necessary disparity in age prohib-
iting equal comprehension of all sub-
jects; between brothers, “the compli-
cation o.! interests, the division of es-
tates, the raising of the one at the
undoing of the other, strangely weak-
en and slacken the {fraternal tie,”
since of necessity pursuing fortune
and advancement by the same path
they must often jostle and Linder one
another; betwixt the sexes love inter-
venes, ‘more. active, more eager,
more sharp, but withal more precipi-
tous, fickle, moving and inconsistent,
a fever subject to “intermission,”
whereas true friendship is “a general
and universal fire,” temperate and
equal, constant and steady, easy and
smooth, “without poignancy or
roughness; .indeed, even among
themselves, wonien are pronounced
incapable of-maintaining the sacred
tie, not being “endured with firmness
of mind to endure the constraint of
so hard and durable a knot.”’-——Geo.
Harvey, in the North American Re-
View.

AN women be friends? inquires a writer in a popular magazine,
y Friends to men, do you mean, Mr. Writer? In that case I
answer you “Yes.”
Friends to women? In that case I put my deprecatling nana
upon my honest and apologetic heart and say to you, positively
and didactically, “No, sir; they cannot.”
Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but they are
tions.
A a, women who are real friends to other women. I believe I
tould telegraph either of them at any time of the day or night, tell them
that I was in trouble and neo®ed help, and if they were alive they would an-
swer me and do the best they could to help me.
Orne of these women is an old maid, a woman of great intellect and great
attainments. She makes her own living, and a mighty fine, independent liv-
ing it is. The other of the two women whose friendship I believe I could de-
pend on is married, but her children are grown, and though she is a good and
dutiful wife, as a matter of principle she doesn’t really care two straws for
her husband.
What have these facts to do with the case of these women’s real friend-
ship? :

pal like me, would ye, if-the worst should come to worst?”
The man in uniform shifted his tobacco, narrowed his eyes and looked
his old friend straight in the face.
“It depends upon the ciptain’s orders,” he said.
That's what's the patter with a woman friend. She may
may admire you; she may even be devotedly fond of you.
Will she stick by you in an emergency? Will she defend your good name,
help out your credit, comfort you in sorrow and rejoice with you in success
—that depends upcn the captain’s orders—and the captain is Biv the man
who is standing somewhere in the background:
He may be nobody but a father, or a brother, or a son; he’s apt to be a
sweetheart or a husband or sometimes just a man who might be a sweetheart

to do anything for another woman she has to think what the man in the back-
ground is going to say about it. She may not know she’s thinking about the
man, and the man ‘may not have the faintest idea that she is thinking about
him either, but she is just the same.
That's what gives her such a far away look n her eyes when her woman
friend asks her to stick by her fr fendship in some emergency.
A woman is just a part ¢f a man’s life. No mattér how muck he loves
her, she’s only a part of his existence.
A man is the whole earth and firmament to the woman who loves him.
She gives up her family, her maiden mame, her place of living, even the kind
of things she likes to eat, for him—why should a friend, and merely a friend,
expect to be exempt in the general sacrifice?
No thank you, Mr. Magazine Writer, no independence on a woman friend
for me, she’s too many different kinds of a person.

When you ask a man to give you the pleasure of his company somewhere,
sometime, you're asking just plain nobody but him. He never thinks of the
baby or Johnnie, or the mother-in-law, or even the wife. If he wants to go,
he goes: if he doesn’t, he says, “No, thank you,” and tells you why. That's

Battleship Models.
By the English Admiralty’s orders
perfect models are made in paraffin
wax of every new battleship before it
is laid down, and these models are
tested in a tank, being 400 feet long
and 20 feet wide. They are made of
wax because it is a material which
does not absorb water or change its
weight, so that alterations can be
easily made and the material can be
melted up and used again.
Better Pay for Soldiers.
General Funston makes an earnest
plea for the increase of the pay of
the officers and privates of the regu-
lar army. He declares that the offi-
cers of lowest rank receive less pay
than many laborers, and even less
than some hod carriers, and that this
should not be the case. He asserts
also that if the pay of the privates
were increased it would be easier to
get and retain recruits for the army.

Issues, Not Men.
By Stuyvesant Fish, Late President of
the Illinois Central. )
HAT there has been maladministration, not td say stealing,
many of our great corporations is a matter of common notoriety,
in some cases of positive proof. .
District-Attorney Jerome has the credit of coining the®
phrase ‘the criminal rich.’ Would he have come nearer the
fact if he had said, ‘The anarchistic rich? For, strange as it may
seem, some men, forgetting that corporate property is so pecus
liarly in need of the protection of the law, have gone great lengths In absolv-
ing themselves and those who move with them in the higher circles of finance
from the restraints of the law, of equity, of ethics and even of common de-
cency. The decision in the Nerthern Securities case, however, shows that
apprehension as to what corporate aggression may involve in the future is
a thing cognizable by our Supreme Court, and therefore by the people.
The contest is no longer between those who have and those who have
not, but between those on the one hand who have moderately, sufficiently and
even abundantly, and on the other those who, through the use of trust funds
and the power incident thereto, seek by questionable practises to have exces-
sively. This is the issue which is daily Brought into every home in America,
Like taxation without representation; it involves moral and ethical questions,
and also strikes at the pocket book, which has been called the sure road to
the Anglo-Saxon’s heart. It will not down.
Great and repeated efforts. have been made to quiet and hush the clamor
which is rising on this subject. Such efforts may succeed for a time, but not
in the end. It is not for me to say, in the words of Patrick Henry, ‘Gentle-
men may ory peace, peace, but there is no peace.’ Nor yet, ‘Shall we lie
supinely on our backs until the enemy shall have bound us hand and foot?”
No, a thousand times no! 1 cannot and will not stir your minds up to a sense
of wrong. Such is not my purpose, nor is this the forum for an appeal
against unjust wealth. You and I have toc large a stake in. it to risk adding
to the danger into which it has bcen brought by the malfeasance of some of
our agents. What I do want is to bring to your attention the fact that no
apparently effective thing has been done to right the wrongs which are known
to exist, and that it rests with us, the great middle class, to meet this issue
as our fathers met those which confronted them, soberly, advisedly and in
fear of God. Let us do and say nothing rash, but, relying on past experiences,
move forward as people who know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain.
President Roosevelt seems to adhere to the idea that there are good
trusts and bad trusts, good corporations and bad corporations. He seems to
‘make a classification, based on size, objecting to the very large ones and
favoring the comparatively small ones. It strikes some, however, that the
difference between a bad corporation and a good one, whether we call it a
trust or not, lies wholly in the methods pursued by the managers of the cor-
poration in regard alike to the public, to their employes and their stock-
holders; and, judging from past experiences, it is chiefly in bad faith toward
the stockholders and dishonesty in dealing with the public that most managers
of corporations have erred.
This is the supreme issue which in various forms is agitating the minds
of the masses of our fellow countrymen. I hope, and we all hope, that in
this hour of moral trial the Nation may again find in its Chief Magistrate the
man destined to control this issue, within the law and by the law,

“Try this cigar,” said an admirer
of nature reverently. “Now, where
did you study that expression of in-
tense surprise that you assume in Ihe

“From nature, sir, from nature.
To secure that expression I asked an
intimate friend to lend me £5. He
refused. This caused me no surprise.
I tried several more. Finally I asked
one who was willing to oblige me,
and as he handed me the note I stud-
ied in a glass the expression of my
own face. I saw there surprise, but
it was not what I wanted. It was
alloyed with suspicion that the note
might be a Lad one. I was in des-
