Clinging Skirts. Over in Vienna there's a wild and swift to-do goingl on in the news papers concerning the wearing of "close and clinging skirts." Protests are appearing in the public prints against this mode, which is set forth as immodest to a pernicious de- LADY ALGY LENNOX X"P.

As such, sbe is an. object of well-bred curiosity in higa society berek gree and unbecoming to all sense of womanliness. ;i. Likewise; strong-languaged columns are devoted to the condemnation of "the American; way of holding skirts up by grabbing them from behind and pulling them toward the knees.". This vogue is characterized "as indecent as ugly." - What a pity therefore that the usual American woman cannot hire a little page to take charge of her long skirt when she wears it on the street. Clothes for the Baby. The finest of materials are, when it is possible to have them, the best to use for baby clothes. A deep hem sew ed by hand is far better than a ruffle of embroidery, machine-made; tucks that may be let out are far better than bands of insertion. But It is a mistake for any woman who, from motives of economy or sentiment, wishes to fash ion every garment her baby wears, to attempt very elaborate work. Handi work may be overdone, and it is bet ter to have more simple frocks that can be easily laundered than a few of very expensive material that can not be laundered as often as one wishes. One or two very fine little frocks with trimming of real lace —not much of it —a ruffle edged with lace and two or three rows of insertion perhaps —are dainty and charming. The petticoat with the ruffle of hand embroidery and the flannel skirt with dressed. The fashion of wearing short a neat and dainty pattern are all that are needed to make the baby look well sleeves and low neck and, when a child, is old enough to go into short skirts, short socks, is always a becoming one, and advisable if a child is not delicate, but it is not worth while for the sake of fashion to do anything that will endanger a child's health. Long cloaks are fashionable again for small babies; they are made of silk or cloth. These have generally a coat to wear under them, but may be in themselves, if made with interlining or wadded lining, quite warm enough. The objection, of course, is that the baby's hands cannot get out, but for a tiny baby it is often well to keep the hands covered In very cold weatjd er. A Foolish Practice. A writer in Good Housekeeping urges against the practice of putting valuable rugs on the line every two or three weeks and beating the dust, and one is almost tempted to say the very life out of them. Perhaps this is not generally known: "When the surface becomes Boiled it can be wash ed with no fear of injuring the colors, since the majority of Oriental rugs are washed repeatedly before reaching this country, and the dyes used are thereby mellowed and enriched. The best method of washing a large rug is to stretch and tack it upon a clean floor, then scour it well with soap suds. After the scouring it must be thor oughly rinsed, to remove all trace of the animal matter in the soap, after which it should not be removed until it is perfectly dried. Then it will not shrink and will lie perfectly flat upon the floor. A small rug may be tacked upon the side of the house or barn, scoured as if on a floor and then rinsed with the hose." Brightening the House. For house plants there is an endless variety to choose from. Ferns and vines are effective in hanging baskets, and so is the oxalis, with its dainty lit tle blossoms. Begonias and geraniums are hardy and easily coaxed into the blossom, so for window boxes they are particularly useful. If plants are rais ed from seed they should be started in October to flower luxuriantly in De cember, the month of all others when foliage and blossoms appeal to the eye. The Age of Beauty. The physical beauty of women should last until they are past fifty. Nor does beauty reach its zenith un der thirty-five or forty. Helen of Troy came upon the stage at the age of forty. Cleopatra was past thirty when she met Antony. Anne of Austria was thirty-eight when described as the most beautiful woman in Europe. The old saying about sweet sixteen is exploded by the truer knowledge that the highest beauty does not dwell in immaturity, for beauty does not mean alone the fashion of form and coloring as found in a waxen doll. A woman's best and richest years are from twenty-six to forty. No woman is passe at an earlier day.—New York Daily News. Don'ts for the Maid. Don't conceal breakages. Don't repeat conversations and don't gossip about your employer's affairs. Don't invite or receive visitors with out the permission of your mistress. Don't try to imitate the dress of those above you in station and don't put all your earnings on your back. Don't be careless about personal neatness in the house and don't neglect to keep your own room as fresh and clean as your employer's. Don't be quick to take offense. Re member that your mistress may have trials to her temper of which you know nothing, so make allowances if she is sometimes sharp and snappy. Don'ts for the Mistress. Don't expect more returns in labor than you pay for. Don't look upon your maid as a hu man machine made to go. Don't be too familiar at first, too exacting afterwards, and too bad tem pered at all times to live with. Don't let the wages or the work get behind schedule time. If you don't know how to direct your home, find out. Don't change servants easily, berate them for leaving, and when you get one with few faults, consider yourself lucky. To Remove Ink From Carpets. In removing ink stains from a carpet if they have become dry, the best plan is to rub them with milk, taking fresh as it becomes inky. The spot should afterward be washed with ammonia water to remove the grease. Fresh ink stains on a carpet should be taken up as far as possible with blotting paper to prevent their spreading, or salt may be put on them for the same purpose. The salt will absorb the in£ and it can then be swept up. Uses for Velvet Ribbon. Narrow black velvet ribbon in rows of threes or fives, caught at intervals by paste buckles, are often used as bretelles on evening blouses. Bebe ribbons are still used as a trimming run through lace and ending in the pretty chrysanthemum rosettes made of loops of velvet of different lengths. Blouses made entirely of frills of chif fon are only suitable for slim figures. Dressmakers for Japan. There are said to be excellent open ings for American dressmakers in Ja pan, where all the high-class women are donning Occidental dress, with which the native modiste struggles hopelessly. Dancing Classes. Miss Newport will open her third sea son at Summit hall.

"Cousin Joshua Is dead," said moth er, unbuttoning her jacket. "Cousin Joshua dead!" repeated Chloe, incredulously. "He lived to a good old age," re marked Celia, cheerfully. "At last," breathed Persis. "He left $150,000," went on mother, taking off her bonnet. "Dear Cousin Joshua," said Chloe, still more cheerfully. "And he was a bachelor and fa ther's first cousin," said Chloe, oracu larly. "Italy!" sighed Persis, blissfully. "He left $100,000 to various churches, libraries and charitable organizations," said mother, sinking into her chair. "Well, that leaves $50,000," said Ce lia a little less cheerfully. "The rest goes to the son of a dear friend of his youth, Charles Frederick Greyson," went on mother. . "But what about his first cousin's children?" gasped Chloe. "To the children of his first cousin, your father," went on mother, as if she were reading from the will of the late Joshua, "he left the half-acre lot with the six-room cottage thereon, sit uated at Tyler's Crossing." "The wretch!" cried Chloe. "It is all because you married papa and he wanted you himself," snapped Celia. "Perhaps the six-room cottage on the half-acre lot contains one of those desks with a secret drawer concealing a fortune," said Persis, in whose breast "hope springs eternal." "I'm sorry for you girls," said moth er, "but you know Aunt Hannah al ways said that all we should ever get from Cousin Joshua we could 'put in our eye and see clear.'" "We'll go to that six-room cottage In summer," said Persis. A' few months later mother and the three girls took the barge at Tyler's for the cottage. After riding a mile or two without passing any house, the driver stopped at the first of two small, weather-beat en cottages. "This is the old Josh Slocum place and t'other's the Widder Bassett's.

"Let us hope "Widder* Bassett's son is young and charming," said Persis, as they went into the cottage. The next morning as Persis was weeding what she termed their "Gar den of Eden" (more let it be confessed in the hopes of seeing the "widder'a son" than from love of gardening) a snake glided across her path. The shrill, unearthly cry which came frotn her throat brought a young man over the dividing fence with as much cc» lerity as even Persis could wish. "What is it? Can I be of service?" cried the young man, hastily lifting his cap. "'Twas a snake! An enormous snake!" gasped Persia. "There it is, now!" and a second cry rent the air. A well directed blow soon killed the invader of this second Garden of Eden —a small, harmless green reptile. "Are you sure that it is the one? I certainly thought it must be a boa constrictor, at least," said the young man, eyeing Persis and the snake rath er dubiously. "You wouldn't stop to think whether it was one foot long or 100 if it waa running under your skirts," said Persis, then stopped rather suddenly. "No," said the young man soberly "that would certainly alter the case." The two families became good friends, finding each other most con genial. "You would hardly suppose this small cottage represented $50,000 and a trip to Europe, would you?" asked Persis one afternoon, as she lay swinging- in a hammock. "The best thing you can do," said Mrs. Bassett, after hearing the expla nation, "is to find Charles Frederick Greyson and marry him." "I wouldn't marry him if he had a million," retorted Persis. "The idea of robbing a defenseless widow with three charming daughters." "Really, though," said Frederick Bas sett, "1 don't see how young Greysoi| is to blame." 'Well, he is!" snapped -Persis with an air of finality. "I despise him.

The summer wore away and as f< natural sequence its close brought the engagement of Persia and the "wid der's son." "Persls," said Frederick one night, "do you think you could have confi dence in one who has deceived you?" "Do you mean to say that you have deceived me?" said Persia, sitting up very straight. '•Well-er, that is, Persls —" "Are you married?" gasped Persia with such a tragic air that the heart less young lawyer laughed. "No—not yet, Persis, but my mother was married twice and I am the son of her first marriage. My name is—" "Don't say it is Smith," Interrupted Persis; "anything but that." "My name," he went on rather hur riedly, "is Charles Frederick Greyson." "Why, Fred Bassett!" cried Persis; "then you are cousin Joshua's heir and I always said—" "Never mind what you said. You didn't know what a nice fellow he was, did you?" "But why didn't you tell me before?" asked Persis. "Why, bless your heart, Persls, you always said you wouldn't marry Charles Frederick Greyson, and I have found you a person who knows her own mind quite thoroughly, but yo were so adorably lovely I couldn't re sist trying to win you as Frederick Baspett."
