I I By Winifred Oliver. BAD MAX TROM NEW ENGLAND th-vid Mather, a Connecticut Yankee, was one of the Dodge City "bad men.'' lie once remarked, "These killers are all murderers. All or em looK. for trie best a man. f'd rather find him asleep than j thf PJ " any other way." When he was deputy I fSuJlJj" ,0'hb'n? Do men drees to please women or to ault themselves? I jwked a man this ques tion the other day. "We dress to suit ourselves," said he, "Women don't know anything about men's clothes." Yet that very man was wearing his fourth suit of gray tweeds because one woman had said that she always liked to see a man dressed In gray. Then, seeing my questioning glance at hia gray clad figure: "Of course, if a woman happens to like a very sensible style we may sb well follow it." And aa a rule we women do like sensi ble clothes on a man. Fond as we are of adopting new fads in our own attire, we are slow In caring for any radical change In men's olothes. We like clothes that have, borrowed some of their own er"! individuality. Soft felt hats that have been worn until they' are almost shabby, smoking coats that look as though could they speak they might tell many an interesting tale. Most men look well in their hunting togs. All men look well in tweeds; and, strange as it may seem, pot one woman In ten thinks that a man looks his best in evening dress. Man's dress has arrived at Its present sensible condition through the natural evolution of convenience, but did our grandfathers, I wonder, look any better In their eatine and laces than the weil dreesed man of to-day looks in his manly dress f Seeing the hundreds of men who barely know one color from another, one Is con vinced that our ancestors must either have consulted their womankind about their clothes, or gone abroad in any strange attire, If a man has a love of bright color, it must be rather harrowing to be obliged to confine it entirely to his ties and socks, or if he loves jewelry, to be allowed only a plain ring, cuff buttons and ecarfpln. On that subject woman Is inexorable as, far as men are concerned. She hates too much jewelry, it looks ef feminate, and if men dislike masculinity in Women, women equally dislike fem ininity In man: just why men should so dislike our trespassing on their preserves 1 do not quite see, as for generations they flaunted themselves in all the colors of the rainbow, in laces, ruffs and all things effeminate. However, what. Is sauce for the goose has never yet been sauce for the gander, nor wilt it be till the millennium shall come, Just at present the man who aspires to being up to date in his dresB is wearing his coats slightly shaped at the waiat, but he don't know yet whether or no we like the fashion; but we do know that he Is on our elds of the dlykllng line. If we do not like it will he, I wonder, give it up, or will he persist In this decided in novation and settle for a perplexed wom an tne point: uq men areas (or women or to suit themselves f ALL AT ONCE.

I'm your friend. I'm no killer. I'm peaceable. I'm your friend. I'm your friend." The puszlad avenger hesitated and dropped his gun-hand by hfs side. As Mather shoved his pistol back in the holster, he glanced at the corpse and remarked. "Now, don't make any more mistakes ' Somebody told him one day to look out, that Hat Maeterson would kill Mm. Sometimes he stuttered slight ly. He said, "Mo. I may kill htm. He will snove ma gun in my stomaen ann orate.

The stains may be removed by pouring hot water through them be fore the linen goes Into the soap-suds. If the dining-room table haa been used for ping-pong to the detriment of the table, it may be improved by repeated polishing with soft cloths and linseed oil. We prepared polish Is equal to this simple one. Bureau drawers that are new and con. aequently stiff to draw out, may be mads to run smoothly by rubbing the edges with soap. If the wood Is green when they are made, they may have to be planed down, but ordinarily the former treatment will make them all right. A.

Let her leave lo inwa the making of shirts as well as steel rails, but let her take up hia former work which .he has largely exchanged for Iters. Some one must do hard tnmtcmg. tie bar no time for It. She has. Sho must do harder think ing and thinking In new lines if her chil dren are not to be spiritual degenerates; she educates them; their father pays their bills.

Kolf, teas, dances and, other amusements, harmless only when one does not gorge on them, were spent on coming face to face with real producers In tenements, fertorles, shops, schools or college settlements-several things would happen. The ambitious, fretful woman who is driving her husband to forgery or a divorce court; the woman now finds life a busy bore, a monotonous, irritating kadeioscope; and the sweet lltye 4udy who thinks herself too small and helpless even to venture to try to get an opinion on the big questions over which her sup-.' posedly wise husband shakes his head, would all begin to get the Joy of real power.

If you have read Lord Chesterfield's let ters to his jKodHoJi you .will notice v:m , much .sjUeaa he .. Jut'a un lha eulUvaJJotv sit " what he caili "l$e graces" of charm of men net'. You may say that In the rushing, stren uous life of to-day there Is no time for frills, still, if we have time to walk at all, we can surely choose words and cultivate a manner that are kindly and pleasant to all with whom we speak. There ure some who argue this way: "I believe In being polite, but I must also be honest and say exactly what 1 moan," so they cultivate a certain bluntness of man-ru-i that Is anything but charming, es pecially In women. In npenklng of the Duke of Marlborough he points out the fact that grace of manner-formed the basis of much of his suc cess and fume: "Me had no Khare of whnt Is commonly called parts; that. Is, he had no brlght neMs, nothing shlniiiR in his genius. "He had, most undoubtedly, an excel lent, good plain understanding, with sound Judgment. "Ills figure was beautiful, but hin man ner wus irreslMUble, to either man or woman. "it was by the engaging, graceful man ner that he whs enabled. diirinK till his war, to connect tnu various ana jurririK Iowers of the Grand Alliance and to curry them on to the main object of the war, notwithstanding the private and separate vlnws. jealousies and wrong headedness. "Whatever court he went tt (and he was often obliged to go himself to some teaty and refractory ones), he as constantly pre vailed, and brought them Into hi meas ures. "The Pensionary Helnslusv a venerable old Minister, grown gray m huclness. and who had gova-ned the Republic of the United Provinces for more than forty years, was abmli.Wy governed by -the Duke of Marlborough; that republic feels to this day, "He was always enol, and nobody ever observed the li'aat variation tn his conn ksnK.et fee -eouH p4w:W gracefully than other people eouW grant, and those who went away from him the most dissat isfied, as to the substance of their busi ness, were yet personally charmed "with him and, In some degree, comforted by his manner. "With u II his gentleness and graceful ness, no man living wiu more conscious of his situation, nor maintained his dignity better." , 80 remember the "advantage of this charm of manner, the way you speak and act. Cultivate and improve your own to the utmost. Thi-se "graces," as Chesterfield Bavs, may bo the lei Ingredient of real mettit. but they are far from being useless in Its composition; they udorn and give an addi tional I force and luster to both virtue and knowledge. THE MILL GIRLS' MORALS. . The mill owners exert, as far as poscsi ble, an Influence over the moral tone ot their employes. . The average girls are self-respecting, yet they trifle with love. The attraction they wish to exert is ever present In their minds and In their con versation. Their most Important sacri fices are Invariably for clothes. They have superstitions of all kinds; to sneese on Saturday means the arrival of a beau on Sunday; a big or little tea-leaf means a tall or a short caller, and so on. There is a book of dreamy kept -at one table rn" the mill. The girls consult It to find the . Interpretation of their nocturnal reveries. They are fanciful, sentimental, cold, ps sion)s.
