A Siberian bride's domestic capa bilities are put to a somewhat severe test immediately after her marriage, as her first duty is to invite guests to her husband's house to partake of • dinner specially prepared by her alone. This dinner la regarded aa the cru cial test of her home education, and dire disgrace is the consequence if ■he Is tried and found wanting on such an Important occasion. If, how ever, the meal la a anccssa, the young bride is assured that her social suo ceas Is a foregone conclusion, and also that her glory will be reflected on her family from whom she received such excellent Instruction, says Home Notes.

Chicago is boasting of its "five •nalden aunts" and declaring that they have done more toward securing better industrial conditions in that city and in the country at large than any other like number of citizens, men or women, in the world.

Dr. De Bey bas also been prominent in investi gating factory violations of the child labor law and is a member of the Chicago Board of Education.—New York Sun.' Facial Mnssage For Wrinkles. A plentiful use of cold cream, the Kind that feeds the skin, and mas sage are the best cure for wrinkles. Bach wrinkle has its own peculiar motion, up from the chin, to cure the sagging around the mouth, gently down on the forehead for the horizon tal wrinkles, across for the vertical wrinkles, a rotary motion for the crow's-feet, etc. The motions are all circular, up and out—never down. The best massage is after the Swedish system, it should not be too vigor ous, and, with a flno shin, very gen tie. When the face is to be massaged It is first washed with warm water and then anointed very thickly with cold cream. After the massage hot applications may be made. Then the face should bo thoroughly washed with soap and hot water, and rinsed, and finally cold applications made to close the pores and stimulate a healthy circulation. If the face feels stiff a little cream Is rubbed In.— Harper's Bazar. Nioee of Gerald Griflln. There died the other day In ihe Visitation Convent, of Washington, D. C., on old nun whose name recalls a distinct epoch of Irish literary life. For Bhe was a niece of Gerald Qrlffin, that dainty Gaelic poet who re nounced fame for tho cloister. This Washirtgton nun, known to three gen erations of distinguished women as their teacher, had distinct poetic tal ents, and many of her former pupils owe success not only to her instruc tion, but to her sympathetic guidance. She was known as Sister Teresa, and ber prose and poetry appeared from time to time in Catholic periodicals under the initials "T. G." One re markable trait of the Griffin family was that ten or twelve of its members Joined religious orders of the Catho lic Church. Sister Teresa had four , aisters and five brothers, and all Sained distinction for their writings pad all were teachers of English la the various institutions with which they wars connected.'—New York Press. Entertaining ■ Simple Art. In onr social life we are too often governed by the two tyrants, "They say" and "What will people think." Resolve to drew and entertain accord* lng to your meana regardleaa of other people'a opinions. It la fooliah to at* tempt to follow a style of entertain* lng Inaugurated by richer people. Tour friends will accept and enjoy simple little entertainments within keeping of your purse quite as much as more elaborate affairs. There Is a modest little home of a clever literary wo than who 1* brave enough to dare to Invite the ipoat fashionable elite to her Sunday even ing tea table. She cares not that twelve-course dinners and much va riety adorn be* friends' feasts. Her own table never boasts more than a plate of tl)lnlT sliced meat, good brown bread and nut sandwiches, hot chocolate and tea These simple vlands will be made attractive by ap pointments of fine and snowy table linen, bright china and shining silver, a centrepiece of flowers giving a fes tive air to the table. To entertain simply, yet well, is an art It Is vastly better to frequently Invite a few friends to drop in and share our hospitality than to think of company as a dreaded bore, whose debts are to be appeased once or twice a year by giving a huge recep tion or tea These large affairs are seldom anything but enjoyable "crushes," when one enters a house and departs feeling no better ac quainted or no nearer the family life than before. It is the eternal fear of criticism that makes women hesitate to use or iginal Ideas in entertaining their friends. Because Mrs. So and 80 had three kinds of vegetables and two kinds of cakes la no reason why you should follow her example. In fact, to serve too delicate a meal nowadays Is not considered good form. To overload a guest with so many courses that he feels burdened is much worse than serving too little. It Is a dreadful insult to the mental caliber of our friends that we should think they come to our table to gor mandize rather than to enjoy the pleasure of our company. We care fully plan the menu, but how often we fail to provide for the entertain ment of the mind—the wit and hu mor and exchange of Ideas so neces sary to a real feast.—New Haven Register. A novelty is repped mohair, called ottoman royal. White gloves seem to have corns back for evening wear. Black lace edged with velvet is the latest thing In sashes. Peacock designs figure prominent ly in decorative effects. Darned effects continue In favor ia the matter of embroidery. For the dressy waist the tucked sleeve is generally chosen. Eyelet embroidery will maintain its vogue the coming season. The turn-over linen collar wit* jabot will be worn ac Jf yore. The old-fashioned sailor collar has come back for the younger set. Among the small hats are turbans of silver with colored aigrettes. Large spots and tiny ones at* mixed on some of the new veils. The scarf Is almost Indispensable tor both day and evening wear. With the tailored suits moire silk belting of every color Is being worn. The one-button glove 1s the thing, and made of natural colored chamois skin. 1 The lavender sweet pea Is very new and Is seen only on the most expen sive hats. Gold slippers, which are unmis takably popular, come in gold cloth and gold leather. Dutch collars of Irish crochet are among the most attractive of the neck fixings. Low-cut, two-eyelet oxford ties of gray suede are among the latest showing in shoes. The indications for children's gar ments are that they will be more and more simple. Some of the smartest of the new hatpins are small enameled placques in all tones of color. Double effect veils come In all sorts of modish colorings, aMKQ over "brown being a smart comfQitlon. There is a fad Just now Mt making the color of the hatpins contribute to the trimming of the hat. : j*j -flew York City.—The skirt that l* made in few pieces and that suggests the hip line without being tightly Otted, while It extends slightly above the waist line, Is the one that Is In great demand Just now. Thla model Is graceful in the extreme and is adapted to an infinite variety of ma terials, while It allows singularly suc cessful use of buttons as trimming. If made from wide material it can be cut In three pieces, while if mads from narrow it can be cut in four, with a seam at the centre front, which fact greatly extends Its useful ness, as It becomes Just as well adapt ed to the narrow fabrics as it does to the wide ones. There are pleated pan els at the side, which mean grace and novelty In one, and the closing is made at the left side. In the Illus tration ponge colored Shantung is finished simply with trimming of Jet buttons, that combination being one of the latest and smartest of the sea son. The skirt can be made In either three or four pieces with tlie panels, which are addltibnal, and which ar« Joined to It at the sides. The upper edge is arranged over a fitted girdle, and the closing is made above the panel at the left aide. Two lengths are Included, the one which escapes the ground and the one which means the slight train that 1B so well liked for occasions of formal dresß. The quantity of material required for the medium size is six yards twenty-seven or thirty-two, four and three-eighth yards forty-four or four and a quarter yards flfty-two Inches wide. Width of skirt at lower edge four and an eighth yards, including the pleated panels. . Mirage Silks. Mirage silk la extremely clour, which makes it equally desirable fo( day or evening wear, for dust is easily removed and the pretty sheen is at tractive at night under artificial light. Earrings and Collars. , Cut Jet earrings are the accepted ornaments by the smart set and its followers. Family heirlooms are taken out of old boxes, polished snd adjusted to the ears with a modern clamp. They are worn on the str»et as well as in the house. They do cot look amiss with a coat suit, a large fur turban and a close veil of black Russian net. Latest Pads in Belts. Tooled and gilded belts are the lat est fad of fair Parisians. With an ingenious eye for effect, many women are wearing them back to front, the deep buckle coming In front, while the narrower one, with its holes for adjusting, goes to the back. Thli plan gives a pretty sloping line to the waist. The striped leather belt is very fashionable for the moment The belts are of white suede, and the stripes, about half an inch wide, run across. A fairly heavy Irish linen or ma dras would be satisfactory materia in which to Work out the tailored (■ 1 x j 9 waist. Striped collar and cuffs glvs an air of newness. The soft blouse of batiste shows the round collar that has gained ss much in favor lately. A French chemist has invented a tablet which. If dissolved la a glass ot water, will give off as much oxygen to clarify the air in a room aa though a window had been left open tor an nour. A scientific Wbor of the utmost Im portance and Interest is about to be commenced from Shanghai. This Is a magnetic survey of China, and Dr. Edwards, of the Carnegie Institute, Washington, D. C., who is to carry it through, is at present In Shanghai preparing for the Jtork. In describing his latest Jonrney In rhlbet, ended during the present year, Dr. Sven Hedin says that the greatest result achieved is the dis covery of a continuous mountain chain 2000 miles long, stretching east and west, and which, taken as a whole, is the most massive range on the crust of the earth. j Experts have held that the so-called "cat" of the ancient Romans and Greeks—"allurus," the wavy tailed one—was not a cat at all, but a kind of weasel. The mummified Egyp tian animal, however, was a genuine cat, even if certain peculiarities about its teeth make it difficult to regard It as a near relative of the modern domestic puss. Investigations of the recent royal commission of coal supplies have shown that the present inefficient con sumption of coal In Qreat Britain leads to a waste of from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 tons per annum, and It la also responsible for the greater proportion of smoke and duft from which they suffer. Thirty per oent of the total British consumption of coal might be saved by employing the beat known means for such purpose.

The Flag. By ELLIS O. JONES. "It you ever decide to settle down here and go in for politics," said the Politician, "the first thing you should do is to get up a good speech on the flag. Many an orator has made a reputation and concealed his ignor ance by an apotheosis of the flag." "The flag! - What's the flag?" In quired the Man from Mars. "Oh, of course, I quite forgot You don't kiow what the flag is, do you? Well, you see, the flag—the flag— that is to say, the flag is—well, the flag is a kind of emblem. It stands for what we are." "What do you mean by that?" pur sued the Man from Marß, with grow ing interest. "What does It stand for?" v ~" "The flag," replied the Politician, blandly smiling, "is very meek. It can't talk back, and accordingly it stands for almost anything. That's what's I'm trying to tell you. When ever you make a speech in favor of a proposition do it in the name of the flag. If you are opposing the same or another proposition, you be gin by denouncing it in the name of the flag. In both cases you at once cease talking about the subject and continue to talk exclusively about the flag, saying anything commenda tory that comes into your head." "But suppose what you say is not true," suggested the Man from Mars. "That's not the point," replied the Politician. "You must commend the flag because the people will not be lieve ill of It If what you say Is false, it can't be helped. On the oth er hand, if you are going to stick to the truth all the time, there is no need of the flag at all. Tou must un derstand that the flag is not an argu ment." „ "Yes; but what is it?" "It Is the emblem of an argument." •—From Judge. The "Sisters" and Their Money. "Most o' the breddren, I'se pleased to say, has been tollable lib'ral," a bit severely began good old Parson Bag- Bter when the result of the collection had been reported to him, "but I re gret to state dat de sistahs has been dese de diverse. Dey has contributed sca'cely nutbln' to de arwgln fund. 'Taint as if dey isn't got no money. Sistahs, lemme ax yo': Whuh does yo* putt yo' money? De Lawd knows—" "Dar's all right, pahson!" inter rupted Erother Tarr, rising in his place in the midst of the congrega tion. "Dai's all right 'bout de Lawd know in'. Lawd knows whuh sis tahs in gen'l putts deir money, but Isn't yo' gittin' slightly spectacular in axin' de infawmatlon for yo'se'f? Yassah, dese a little spectacular?" A Toast. The latest thing in toasts comes from "up-State," and was responded to by the father of twelve daughters, who claims that he ought to know: "To the ladles —to their sweetness we give love, to their beauty admira tion, and to their hats the whole side .walk."—New York Times.

Women cutters of precious stones In France receive about SI.BO a day. Seamstresses receive sixty cents a day. These are respectively the high est and lowest wages paid to women lu France. Marguerite Sylva, prima donna, and her husband, W. O. Mann, parted amicably because the former believed "she should continue her career and set aside all other consideration's for her art's sake."
