Girlhood's Charm. The woman who keeps the simplici ty of her girlhood, its generous impul ses nnd quick syi pathies, and who adds to her gifts t tie enlargement of study and the crown of experience, Is always at her best and never past it. When the exterior Attractions of form begin to fade, the radiance of our Inner illuininntlon will more than compensate their departure. But, in order that this should be so, her rnoial must equal her Intellectual galu. She must be willing to learn, not only her own powers, but her own defects al so, nnd to court the good Influences which can help her to escape from the delusions of sense and the fatal tyran ny of self-consciousness. She must discard the petty measures of vanity, and self-seeking, and learn to love her race, her country, nnd the humanity which she should help to adorn. Ladies' Basque. No matter how elaborately a waist mny be trimmed, bloused or draped, It is invariably modeled with a tight fitting lluing. The design illustrates a plain close-fitting basque, with the bins French dart and curved front line. The close fitting sleeve Is cor rectly shaped with slight fulness at flic shoulder. Ladles tailors are mak ing up some beautiful clotli gowns exactly like the illustration, fastened with single or double rows of tailor buttons. We have seen so much of these loose-fitting and bloused basques that this innovation Is sure to galu fnvor, especially with ladles who have good figures. To make this basque in the medium yards of material forty-four inches Wide. MAY MANTON. Language Of Sealing Wax. Postage stamps have long had a lan guage and now conies some one who claims to translate the subtle meaning of sealing wax. Business letters should be sealed with red, friendly letters with gray. To your lover you devote blue, lit token of constancy, unless you wish to hint that you have or think you have cause for jealousy, when you will use yellow. A reply to a wedding invitation should bo sealed with white and a letter of condolence or death call for black or violet. A dinner invita tion mny be sealed with coffee col ored wax, and when a man gets a let ter sealed with green, from the girl he admires, lie may feel that she shyly bids him hope. A Breakfast Dish. An appetizing dish for breakfast nnd otic that the woman who Is doing light housekeeping enn make In the chafing dish. Is dried lteef with eggs.

Put In bags of thin China silk and lay among the cloth lug. old silk waists can be freshened up In Inuunie aide ways.
