Do you remcm lr David Copperlleld's concern over tho items of Dora's curl nnier.si WVII, tho most unob-ervins man Is iiulU us quick to notice if uot to remark tho detuils of feniinino at tiro. ecntto u man is too j;ood natured to comineiit upon what ho seees, do not take it for granted tlmt ho Is blind. Sterling worth in character may bo relied upon to securo u goodly amount of love, but wo aro nil agreed is it not so? that personal npjiourajieo has n decidod inlluenco in our friendships nnd loves. Cur friends and foos are, In a meas ure, what they look to bo. Inherited features nro pretty much, though not altogether, be yond our power to eliango, but erne is after nil largely the reflection of her surroundings, .uud those depend much upon hcrsnlf. In the matter of garments, ono may liavo silk or cotton ones, but tho agroeablo cireets of on" or the other hinges not upon shekels, but upon tho tact with which tho goods nro arranged and set off. That is, ono may bo "a picture'' in u print dress or a fright in tho same dress, with tho differences of its hang ing "at loose beeU" and being worn with un tidy per-on, and so on. Tho avcrago woman, divested of tho various accessions that buoy her up in dress toilet, is pretty apt to bo un lovely to look upon, lint how few women think about it. Men aro iastidious beyond their own avowal, wives, and ono needs to think twico to think wisely before sho makes herself a nightly fright. Curl papers, oil bo sjuoared face, hands in untidy gloves, and robod in ugly and it must bo coiife-ied, uot nlwuys neat underclothing, and what is there iu tho portrait to remind ono of tho fair woman ono ilnds on the morrow hi tho parlor? If hair must bo curled, let it be by a patent curler that lukfis but two or thrc? mo ments iu tho morning. Unly spinsters not nfraid of their own shadows can afford to sleep in curl papers. Appearing in tlieui in public should b.i a capital oll'etise. Whatever cosumties ono cares or dares to uso should be applied and worn only when ono is ut liberty to "seek tho seclusion that tho dungeon grants." It would seem almost bUcrl)uous to sny, however, that tho fairest skin and most elaborate eoilluro do not re quire that ono shall sleep in tho plight so many women appear to think necessary. Tho European custom that gives to eacli in dividual a room if no bigger than a closet whero ho or she is solo monarch, is a wholo fcomo, happy uiTiingomont, that may obtain some day in our land. While husband and wife have but ono sleepiug apartment, that must in most casjs do duty n-s a dressing room as well, ono surely cannot atTord to make her sleeping toilette less becoming than her prettiest day attire, to say nothing of tho artistic reason of wishing for one's own tako to lie fair anil nwct. And tho moans, supposing silken bod gowns aro forbidden by tho state of one's purso well it is forbidden to no ono to brush her tooth and hair b-foro retiring, and to mako her faco and hands cienn, mid very often to tikon hot tub bath, and to wear a fair, white night dress, be it ever so simple. If high priced toilet perfumes arc notto bo had ami fino odors are ulvay3 high priced ono may, by hygienic living, havo a breath as sweet as new mown hay, and sprigs of sweet smelling herbs laid in bureau drawers lend their fra grance to the contents. Dinah Sturgis, Mrs. Cash's Victim Talk about tho dangoi-s of tho amateur itago, of cigarette smoking they are asuoth ing compared to tho wickedness of tho llrst class dresiniU;er. You nre a nico looking bttlo woman, with a pretty figure, which Tom has nlwuys liked to seo well dressed, and he thinks tlmt it any woman does understand the art of gowning it is you.

Serpent admires your figure; Mrs. Cash moans how unfortuunto it is that you nro not dressed properly, and tho company sits behind tho desk and grins, knowing what tho outcome will bo. You seo u wondrous gown, just from Paris, which is certain to suit you. You aro iuducod to try it on, and then you hear tho price. You shudder at it. You say you cannot get it; but oh! you do look so handsome, in it. You know Tom cannot ufford that monoy; you know that u-sually you get three frocks for that amount; but tio stylo is so good and tho vica of tho charm"i- is listened to. You go out of that house with tho knowledge that you aro going to got that froci, for you havo been fitted for it, aud you nro tho mostmiser ablo slavo in tho world. Mtrs.

Still, you think that you can raiso a few hundred dollars, and that Tom may give you a little extra money without your telling him what it is for, and thou you chirp up and remem ber that Mrs. Cosh said you could pay a littlo aCn time, and, after all, it was just the bill oomingin. Poor littlo wretch I You havo a feeling at yonr heart nil tho time now as if you wore a thief, and within o wee!: vou cot an insolent note from Mrs. Serpent suggest ing that you rouiit at once. San Francisco Argonaut. A Sister's Influence. "I wonder," said Mrs. Eaton, "what makes Frank Sawyer so different from Tom Iilako and Hill Harris? They've got good homes nnd good parents, but Tom and Hill aro ns rough as young Indians, and never sooin to know thodiirereuco lutweeu tbo insido of tiio bouse and outdoors." Well, the fact was that Frank Sawyer had sisters, and it was impossible to feel that tho"inido ot tho house" was tho name as "outdoors," whero the presence nnd influence of either older or younger sisters wcro con Btnntly felt. Said a gentleman in our bearing not long inajnHliau'iur,crtell:.what layoJdcr.eiiXvr wnstoniooil through my growing up. 1 know nothing of her vnltii to mo fa n boy, recognised and comparatively littlo of it as n young ninn; but now I have reached years of mutnrity 1 ronlizo how much slio did to mako homo nttrnctivo and my childhood a very pleasant ono." And again, it was but a little whilo ago o lady was speaking of tho gontle manner and unusual ability in entertaining shown by a young gentleman who had recently come Into tho community. "Oh, well," said a friend, "Pit tell you whero ho learned his caso anil acquired such finished manners. lie grew up with n lot of sisters, ami they always depended on him to help them when they had company, and thoy consulted him about their fancy work and the arrangement of a room or tea table, just as if he was another girl." Commend us to those boys who havo grown up with "a lot of bisters." Wo hnvo often hivird a gentleman remark regretfully: "I never had a sister; that was something I missed." Wo feel for them a genuino pity that thoy should have mis-sod so much, Hut do tho girls of tho family reallzo oven slightly tho great influence thoy nro exerting, or might exert, over thoir brothers?

Tho cootumo or uniform consists of a sl.irt of dark livery cloth blue, green or brown with plain front and broad plaits at tho back; a waistcoat of tho some cloth, with lino crosswise lines of red braid, and a coat cut away iu front nnd covering tho hips. Metal livery buttons are used on the cout and waistcoat. A small white cap, stiff wlulo collar and cuffs and a white cravat eomplcto tho attire. A good looking maid witli a good figure makes a natty appearauco iu such a livery, und is particularly useful in households where only women servants are cmplojed to attend tho door and serve tho meals. Whero thero is a butler, she is well equipped to tako the place of "second man." As a small minority mokes up tho wealthy class everywhere, tho customs and fashions that obtain iu that class are an end kits sourco of curiosity, sjieculation and interest, To a certain extent there is no good reason why this curiosity should not bo gratified. Tho rich art collector loses nothing of tho jealously guarded privacy of his homo life by sometimes throwing open his gallery to tho public that is, nothing which ought to cause him any pain or regret.

Sound Advice fur Iluslness Woiucu. An editorial writer in The Christum Uniou said lately m a talk with "Business Boys:" "Tho boy who will succeed in tho world is he who is content for a time to do two dollars' worth of work for a dollar." Husmess girls need to bind this precept upon heart and hand.

Tho girl who studios book keeping or stenography as a stop gap ago.in.st tho tide of imjjecuniosity until she can wed a bread and bonnet winner enacts tho tritorolo of tho littlo Haarlem hero with his thumb in tho dike leuk. Sho is like ono who watches for tho morn ing, and, iu proportion no her heart fails at tho delay of dawn, interest in her occupation declines. Judging by her standard of valuer tho business laid inqiortunately to her hand and tho wedlock that may come, we may well remind her that faithfulness in that which is loust is tho earnest of faithfulness in that which is great. Tho steadfast industry, the discipline of speech and conduct, the concen tration of thought and energy upon tho mat ter set before ono for accomplishment, that nro essential to business prosperity, are the best conceivable preparation for tho high aud holy sphere of wife, housekeejier and mother.

A Useful Husband. A woman whoso moms aro "read nnd sung in two hemispheres" said to Alice Williams Brotherton, somo ten years ago: "(), I only write them. My husband attends to all tho details of printing. IIo copies tho poems in his clear hand, chooses tho magazino or pub lisher, and attends to tho editorial corre spondence." Later in tho same, conversation she remarked : "Ho has nn unerring inrtitict as to the fit ness of a story or poem for this or that td itor's pages. When ho says: 'This might suit Tho Century,' 'That is better fitted for Tho Atlantic,' 'Try Scrilmcr's Magazine with that thing,' 'Lippincott's will uso this,' I never think of disputing his judgment. And again: I leave anything wxitten during tho daj-on hii writing table, ho rands it nfter dinner, and says it rests him. Criticise? O, yes, a wonl or a phrase. I weigh every suggestion and adopt only what I approve." Such a husband as this is a greater con venience than a letter fllo or scrap book. He not only knows tho market like a book, but it actually "rests him" to read his wife's versesl It really seems as though this nrin must havo been lorn to hi a literary wo man's husband. Lounger in Critic. Kugeulo's English Kesldouco. I seo it is statisl that the physicians who attend tho Empress Eugenie have informed her that sho would have "good health'' if she should decide to leave England, writes a London corropondent. Tim fact is that, the empress is jut as well iu England during half of each year as she would bo in any other country; but some ot her relation.!, and the Houupartist parly generally, are exces sively apprehensive that tho empress will bequeath a large part ot her fortune to Prin cess Beatrice, who is n great favorite, and thero has, therefore, been an mtriguo on foot for some time past to induce her to settle herself permanently in Italy. Tho empress, however, has much resented those attempts to withdraw her from England, and probably foresees that, once a resident on the conti nent, she would bo as much worried by her anxious and expectant relations as was Miss Crawley when sho had Mrs. Bute nttacking her on one side and Mr. Pitt and Lady South elown on tho other.
