All these tales of the hunting Hold

Noatness end Matrimony.
Scrupulous, ncitlnosa, even to the j
smallest trifles, often determines u
mail's decision regarding the marrying
of a girl more than any other thing.
A good education, great ability or even
exceptional beauty will not take tho
plncc of absolute cleanliness and tidi?
ness. Most men will not overlook tho
lock of these things.
Men very quickly notice buttons off
shoos, gloves, dress or coot, or soiled
gloves, or spots upon the clothing, and
are always prejudiced by tlicni, be
CatJSO they probably indicate alovenll
ncsd In the homo. Nothing Is more
abhorrent to u man than Untidiness in
n girl.
Nothing is so disappointing to tho
mole sex us to Hud that the girl from
whom so much was expected Is found
wonting In the matter of neatness and
orderliness. Slovenliness is n very
easy thing to fall Into. We ought nil
to Ik- on guard ngnlnsl It. After all, it
is trifles that ti ll, small details m the
matter of dress. Here Is an example:
Not long ng? u young mini bad oc?
casion to travel by on early train
every morning and got to know a pret?
ty, well dressed young lady who al?
ways went by the same train. lie fell
in love-but one morning he became
disillusioned, .v- the girl alighted
from the train be saw a large bole in
her Blocking above the heel of her
shoe. He was so particular about be?
ing neat himself that he could not
stand tihtidlncss in others. if this
girl could be slovenly in small tilings,
ho argued, sin- would certainly he so
In large and wireless about the house.
And ho was perfectly right. All
thoughts of asking her to share her
life with htm hrivo vanished.
Slovenliness iu dress without doubt
indicates a similar defect lu homo
life. We should all try to make a
good Impression on |>eople. The world
Judges a great deal by outward np
pca in tiers. Any man lights shy of n
girl who evidently cares so little about
what people think that she will not
go to the trouble of being tent. "Oh,
It d?czu't mutter: No ouo v.Ul gcc!"
the cnroloss n?d untidy girl often ox*
rlalius. Hut people do so iiikI id
Icutly note nil Ur.it Is wanting.
i ibis ?in? desire to luilfif it good im
dBcsslou, who doslro men to respect
Mini ndmtro, must pay attention tu
the smallest details. Carefully mended
cloves, i idy shoo laces, scrupulously
clean lace -e ven If it bears ovklcnco
of lucndlng are all Indicative of neat?
ness nud self respect. A girl who
looks lifter her personal appearance
will boo that the liome Is scrupulously
tidy mid orderly.
i here Im nil old proverb that "H'm
had to lie poor, tmf It's doubly hud to
look poor." The girl who Is tidy mid
heat In the little details of her dress
will not show tbe empty slate of her
purs,, nearly so much as she who al?
lows her clothes to become draggled
and unkempt, and the tidy girl will

a good and worthy man. whoso hon?

Did LlkewUo.
??Upon my word, it's too bail," grum?
bled Mrs Dtizzlu In a complaining
voice. "I shall really have to punish
those dreadful children."
"Why, what have tho little dearH
been up to now/' Inquired tho hen?
pecked husband.
"They have made my sowing room
Into a perfect bear Karden." answered
bis wife. "Nothing Is In its right place.
Cotton, wool, pins, scissors, needles
nud all my working materials are jam?
med In odd corners anyhow."
" That wasn't tbe children, dear," said
Mr. Dazzle in Ida suavcat tones, "t
did that."
"Yon did It, did you?" snapped bis
wife. "And pray what possessed yon7"
"My kindness of heart prompted mo
to do It. As you stralghteued up my
room nml arranget) all my books and
papers SO beautifully I thought I'd put

Children's Pocket Money.
As BO?U 0d n child Is obi enough to '
ask for a penny to spend for Itself a
small weekly hlloWn?Ce should bo glv- j
en and tbe child taught to save n por- ;
tlon of It for presents, etc. No mat- I
tor how few tbe pennies a child should
know Just bow many to expect during |

This will tench the value of money?a
valuable lessou?and It will also teach '
the little one bow to 1h> generous and
self denying by carefully saving up
some of those sntuc cherished pennies
for a present for some one else.
Packing a Coat.
A useful thing for wives to know
when they are packing up their lord
and master's clotlics Is bow to fold a
man's coat. There Is n knack In It
that It will aid domestic happiness for
her to tnuster. Lay the coat out per?
fectly Hut. right side up. Spread the I
sleeves out tmiontbly, then fold them I
back to the elbow until the bottoms of
the cuffs are ovcji with the collar. Pold
tho revcrs back and double tho roat
over, folding It on the center seam,
i Smooth out nil wrinkles and lay It on
a level surface In the trunk.
To Prevent Riding Up of Skirt.
A common complaint Is that skirts
will ride up In the front. Women that
have prominent audothens have more
l trouble than others. There are two
remedies, for this either to wear some
of the many contrivances which nro
sold for this purpose or to make a tab
of lining material about four and a
I half Inches wide anil five Inches long.
I This most uo shaped out to tit tho

Modish Porfume6.
The woman who aspires to smart- |
ness takes cure to bo an fait In the
matter of perfumes. Fach year sees
? several new scents In vogue, though n
certain few of the old fashioned es?
sences retain their popularity. Of these
III yonder and wood violet denote tho re?
fined, well bred woman. The scents
of the present season are remarkable
for their subtle yet penetrating odor.
Vinaigrettes arc again considered mod?
