For the first month of her mourn ing a widow is expected to live In strict seclusion, seeing only members of her family. She must not enter so cial life for two years, but may call upon her most Intimate friends. Infor mally, after the first year. The third year she may entertain her friends and go to places of amusement, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. While a widow should adhere to certain recognized customs, she may properly refuse to be a slave to the numerous ldlosyncraclos which fash Ion Imposes without fear of severe criticism. Many sensible people Just ly claim that customs are absurdly overdone. Needless seclusion and de pressing attire only Intensify the be reavement. The living owe It ta themselves, their families and the world at large to be as cheerful as cir cumstances will permit. The tender est reverence for the dead, respect and loving remembrance can be shown In a thousand delicate ways which are not Compatible with vulgar dis play. A New Fancy Dress Ball. A very original danco with fancy dresses was recently given by a lady In Tarls. The whole evening was paused in performing national dances In the costume of tlio country. Thus Poland was represented by the mazur ka, danced in couplos; Spain produced a fandango, with gay castanets, wav ing fans and mantillas; Italy was the author of a tarantella, a very difficult and exciting dance, necessitating the picturesque Italian peasant costume. The Swedish dance was especially pretty, and the performers were at tired In short red petticoats, green aprons, embroidered chemisettes, bo leros of black velvet and round red hats garnished with long streamers of red and white ribbon. The Rouman ians sprang about lightly In their na tional "Ruskaia." Alsatian valses came next, and the Danish dancers not only performed figures, but also accompanied themselves with nation al songs. Altogether the features of this entertainment were not only novel but graceful and interesting, and the "cake-walk" was remarkable by Its absence. At last good tasto had pre vailed, and this ugly, grotesque comic business, not to be dignified by the name of a dance, wag omitted. Man Versus Woman. The old Question of the relative status of the sexes Is discussed by William K. Hill in the Westminster Reviews. Mr. Hill's article opens with the cuestlon, "Do the achieve ments of woman now equal those of man?" In answering the question he considers the leading characteristics of reason. Imagination, creative sta bility, truth, strength and endurance. Roason Is equally tho characteristic of both sexes, but its derivatives, reason ableness .and reasoning are said to be more strongly marked in man than in woman. Man usually thinks before he acts. Woman Is inclined to act often before she thinks. In tho mat ter of Imagination, as manifested ob jectively In Its works, the only form In which we can estimate It, woman cannot at present set anything against such male achievements as the Iliad, the DIvina Commedla, Hamlet, Faust, tho Venus of Slllo, Tannhauser, or the Choral Symphony, to cite only a few leading examples. In the closely al lied quality of initiative the weakness of woman is loudly asserted by man, and It is difficult to cite any consider able number of women who have Ini tiated wid shaped with creative touch great works or great movements. Tho superiority - of woman is con ceded in the qualities of courage, mor al stability, mental endurance and truth, but the alleged supremacy of the sex. In physical strength and en durance Is denied. Open Air Living Room.. "Build me a veranda with a house attachment," '! rich Georgian to bis northern architect; "that's what I want" These 'few words In the brusque vernacular of the business man tersely express the wishes of ami southern nous builders of. taa present day, says Architects and Builders' Magazine. Ten years ago the ubiquitous south- en veranda, though often of great length (especially In the old-fashioned white columned houses when It often became a colonnade extending around three sides of a parallelogram), was usually narrow. Some one, some where, built a square veranda the size of aa average room. The chanc es are It wai a woman, the architect and contractor of her own summer bungalow. Women as designers of bouses, are celebrated for their disre gard of precedent; their Independ ence (If this Is the proper word) In the face of ft Without the slightest com punction a woman will knock any ar chitectural rule of three Into a cocked hat If It happens to be In her way. Some one saw the square veranda, liked it, and copied It. In a few years' time it was a fad. In the south, ver andas are a necessity. Th;e Idea of a square veranda, roomy, furnished with all the luxurious acr-ossortos of modern life "open-air living rooms," as some one has happily styled them, supplied an actual demand. Unlike most fads, this one had common sense behind it, and. as a result, has been Influential in revolutionizing building styles that have obtained for centur ies. Lady Donoughmore. Now that Lord Donoughmore son- in-law of Michael Grace, erstwhile of New Vork has attained a responsi ble position under the government aa under secretary of war. Battle Abbey, tho historic house purchased by Mr. Grace from tho heir of the Into Duch ess of Cleveland, will be the scene during the next parliamentary session of many Interesting weok'-end parties, when politics will b a dominating fea ture. Lady Donoughmore's ambitions In the Interests of her hushand'B politi cal future are only equaled by those of the Duchess of Marlborough for her husband. In soclet;' circles It is well known that there is some competition between the ladles on both sldos. Lady Donoughmore Is her hus band's most devoted assistant Awny from hla office In the seclusion of hla home she renders him material assist ance with his private correspondence. She works on tho typewriter with a great deal more expertness than many a city clerk, and In this way she re lieves the under eecretary of much of the anxiety of trusting government se crets to hired clerks. Outside- Pall Mall she Is practically his private secretary, and has become such a keen political studont that her husband considers her advice well . worth having. Considering the com paratively short time she has been In England, It Is asserted that she knows more about English politics than many English women who have been politi cal propagandists for years. If ber husband does not rise to a high posi tion in the service of the country It will not be her fault . Fashion Notes. Taffeta gowns are the smartest of the season. Fine chip Is used for modish little walking hats. Serge occupies a very small place this year. Leaf green Is a good color for the linen or pongee gown. Shaped girdles of the dress fabrics are used as frequently as silk or vel vet. Bands of quaint puffings are among the old-fashioned trimmings again in favor. More than one of the winter's long- tailed coats has been abbreviated into a jaunty spring jacket More and more short skirts are turned out but they are, trimmed on much the same lines as the more elab orate long ones. Foulards adapt themselves beauti fully to the vogue of full skirts, enor mous sleeves and lace-trlmmed and be ruflled bodices.. Dazzing and beautiful, but very Im practicable for anything but a glass case. Is the average woman's comment on the "opening" gowns. Ecru lace stoles will be used with the lace hats of the same color. The fashionable green shades can form an effective trimming in the form of either foliage or ribbon. White marabou feathers are soft and graceful on the long stoles. Ono of these is fashioned of accordion pleated frills of whlto chiffon. Each frill Is about six Inches in depth, and is finished by fringe of marabou feathers. Black lace stoles will be effective especially for use with the thin sum mer gowns. They will accord with the baby hats of shirred black lace, which promise to be so fashionable. These latter will be simply trimmed with a flower wreath or a ribbon ro sette. The same method of adorn, meat may obtain with the stole. , Machine Hemstitching. It Is useful to know that hemstitch ing can be done on the machine with llttlo care and trouble. Draw the de sired number of threads, fold over with edge In centre of drawn tiireads. Loosen the tension and stitch as near the edge of the hem as possible and then pull out the bastings. Take the goods In one hand and tho hem in the other, pull the edge of the hem to the bottom of the drawn threads and the work Is complete. This Is really had to tell from hand work and Is much more quickly done. Tucks may be made the same way nnd aro a pretty decoration to chil dren's clothes or a shirt waist Rest In the Kitchen. Do not forget, If there Is room, to add a comfortable chair for tho kitch en. A willow rocker of comfortable cut can be given a coat of black en amel, and with washable covers for the seat cushion and back rest, afford one the "ten minutes' rest" which phy sicians are constantly enjoining one to take, promising as a reward length of days, and good health while they last, says The Housekeeper. In the kitchen cabinet can be tucked away a bit of sewing, or an Interesting book, and while waiting for a kettle ol water or when something must be watched while baking, drop Into the chair, and, with "pick-up work" 01 book, obtain that chango of labor which Is rest. When Cleaning House. Of house cleaning. Miss Holt says: "Better one denned room a day, and comfort therewith, than an epidemic of brooms, buckets, scrubbing brushes and stcpladdors. Take plenty of time, but never begin before the beginning "For house cleaning a woman should wear clothes that ndmlt of stooping, reaching, stretching and lifting, giving as free play to all the muscles as gymnasium suit. A thick union suit no corset, a Bhort flannel skirt sewed to a loose, low necked waist, a sweat cr nnd overall make up a costuino in which one can .climb stcpladders, scrub floors, kneel to take up i-arpet tacks, lift, bend this way and thai wholly unhampered. Thus garmented It Is possible to do much more work than with skirts always slopping about, yet not foil so tired." First-class lanndrylng requires a) least three set tubs, according to Mlsi Holt. "Tho new glass washboards are clrnn, durablo and good for the clothes Their ono drawback Is that they are a trifle heavy." Miss Holt Is nn advocate of ltero seno In the wash. "Kerosene In the boiler whitens clothes safely, espe cially such as are yellow from long ly ing. Uso a table-spoonful In a gallon of water. For things very yellow ot grimy make an emulsion of kerosene, clear llmo water and turpentine In equal parts; shako together until creamy, then add a cupful to a boiler ful ot clothes, and keep over the fire halt an hour. The same emulsion Is good for very dirty things, as Jumpers, overalls, working shirts and chlldren'i trousers. Use It In conjunction wltli very strong suds, as hot as the hand can bear, and rub It well upon the dirtiest spots. Leave the clothes five minutes before washing out, and be sure the second suds and the rinsing waters are as hot as the first suds." Recipes.

Veils of the latter have been superseded by tulle, while even that favored flower of many generations, the orange blossom, Is noticeable by Its absence, myrtlo or white heather taking its plaeo. White heather is looked upon as a wonder fully lucky flower, but like the four leafed shamrock, its scarcity creuted Its good fortune. Now It Is said to be cunningly bleached In order that the supply may cover the demand. Wot the Slander air!. The up-to-dute corset for the too slender maiden Is a vision to delight tile eye. Its dainty flufUuess Is enough to make ber fat sister envious. The foiinitiitloii of ihe stays Is built of the sheerest silk batiste and genuine wlmlebotip. Across (he bust Is a series of very titty full pleated frills, edited In some cases with real lace. The sanio scheme Is carried out over the hips, only here the frills nre veiled rather loosely with plain batiste, so (lint the skirts may fit with that pxipilslt smoothness necessary even In this day of very full skirts. The effect of this corset on a thin body Is a glorious transformation. Skirt of lllnek Hrnxlrloth.
