The daughUtm of rich New York women are very frequently put at the ttegimuug of the scoMon in the bandit of a trained nutue, who is renponsihle for their good condition during the spiwon, and whotte duties are very nearly ait onerous an are those of the trainer of some champion of the prism ring. Hor management iKsometmng like this; When' the nurse thinks its time the bud was up she Wflkous hor, wrapK her in a soft wool bath robe, and carries her in the dressing room, where ho invent her with two garments of stout jontoy cloth, and makes her either -swing a pair of light Indian china for twenty minutes 01- takes the same time hi exorcise on a gymnastic bar. . When the debutante W iu full glow she is wrappi. again in the,bath rolw, and carried to the baih room, wiiHi-e a white porcelain tub has boon tilled with warm water. Into this has boon (lung, before tthe conies, a Irencb bran bag, tlie eotiumt of -which are bran, slwvings of the flnost olive oil soap, emollient pantos and orris root. This iu used luce a sponge in bathing, and on being squeezed omits a soft, creamy, perfumed lather, which leaves the skin wmelling slightly of vlolcta and as soft as velvet. After the bath the young woman is thor--oughly rubbed down w ith towels of a damask which is as soft us satin, for auy Tough milwtnuee injures the texture of the skin If the wuathor is jcold 4 little cold cream Is u&oti and rubbed in carefully with the hand to prevent chapping end redness. The hair is smartly brushed for twenty minutes, the nails manioured, 'and while this luxurious young person is at tending to the rest of her toilet the nurse sees that the pror breakfast is prepared. This ii simple a bit of dry toast, a oup of ohoco- late, au egg and some raie steak, because she is obliged to'eat so much trash at balls and dinners that this is the time when she absorbs ber real nourishment Then the attendant leaves her to her own devices until she oumes to dress for tho ovoning. ; Auother bath and a cup of hot fresh tea prepore hor for the night's work, and when she returns, jaded and exhausted, at S In the morning! the nurse is on hand to undress her, give ner a little soothing brush to her hair, feed to her a cup of stuaufing bouillon, and, : after putting her to lied, rub hor gontly and jmouthly in the massage fashion until all aches and weariuessare gone, and she sinks: off Into eight hours of dreamloss slumber. It it astonishing what fatigue, what an endless wearing eourae of diminution a girl can go through, and come out of it as frosh as she west lit, whon some one stands ready in this planner to repairU breaches made upon her youth and loveliness. ; Uirls who have this care last ten years longer thau those who are .left to shift for themselves, and the money ispent in this way generally proves in the end to be advantageously invested. Pittsburg Metin. :., . 4 111 Id ran II far Too Much. . Thft, innocent of !hildhocd haa been rudely brushed away and the Knowledge of evil baa enteral tho puro soul of tlx ohild. Then the OUtwtiim arises how can this state of affairs be remfldMwM One of tlie most certain ways of counteracting this evil, is to avoid in- .fHsfrmiiiutta .otLVtinitLttou beforia ohildren. Thnre is no groat evil existing right now in society thttu this indiscreet conversation be fore children, A lady visitor comes in, And in utter disregard of the pmscnoe of thechil dren who are in the room, the latest scandal is diHCUHHcd, or a bit of goHhip is diKsncted; a birth is announced with all the acqompany ingcircunwtaiices, maybe the approtuihing advert of a hnir, is the latcut news to be cir culated, and so the conversation goes on; little ears drinking in, and wondering minds trying to make (ftiingH tit together and solve tho mysterh discussed. Tiien parents in their own home circle often discuss subjects Iwjfore their children that they wcnld bo sliock'wi, should some one suggest aro injuri ous. They do not openly (which would bo far better) but by bints, and In ambiguous manner tell apicue of news which they assert the children don't understand, kit which at the same time uroiw their t'lii ionities and prr;v( more detrimental for the mystery that surrounds it.'' I will give two instances that have come under my observation recently, as it illus trates ho well the subjodt A young lad in bit toons said to his mother in my presence, "What is this about, Mrs, r Sho looked up in sunirise and said: "What do yuu man f "Oh !" i e said, "there is no use to pretend ignorance, you know what I mean ; 1 have syon you all with jour heads together, and heard you whispering, and Jim (a com panion) and I are on the track and are going to find out what it is," -.This gossip, what ever it was, had been discussed right in the homo circle, and that is where the boy heard it. The other instance was a lady friend who told me she was exceedingly particular never to discuss a scandal, or any Bubject before her children that children should not know, A few days before with closed doors she was talking to her sister of a piece of news she had just heard, when the door opened and her young daughter came in and said: 'Momma, excuse me, I was not listening, but came to tlie door and overheard something you said to auntie, and I waut you to tell me all about it; I have heard some of it any way." When asked where she hoard it she said: ''At school; all the girls know it,11 Now as my friend said, "We send our chil dren to a private school; pay the highest prices so we can have them associate with the best, and yet all the indecent gossip that is abroad is disciuwed among them," Wow these school children get all, their news at home. Were it not for indiscreet parents, there would be more innocent children. This may seem to mothers a hard assertion, but it is even so, In your heai-ta you too doubt earn estly desire the purity and innocence of your children, but iu your conversations before them you are forgetful of their interests by your indiscretion. Atlanta Constitution, A VfH IireMod Wife. A man loves to see his wife well dressed When she goes about in tatters, with big shoes, untidy skirts, soiled collar, and a halo of curl paiiers, if he doesn't swear he thinks it. I don't believe, in the economy of home toilets. I never take a dress that is done for and wear it in the house. When the life is gone out of it, it goes in the rag bag. I make a duty of nice linen with plenty of luces, and my bouse gowns are not old, they are not wrappers, and they are not ugly. Another hobby of mine is my hair, which I will havo as near tho poet's conception of 'her fragrant tresses' as possible. Then I have a whole lot of little deviees--I perfume my eyebrows and lips; keep my hauds soft and cool, my teeth in good order, and I make my doctor prescribe for a sweet breath. But don't put that in the paper. I only tell you to give you an idea of the care required to keep a man in love with you. Men like to preauh down extravagance, and style, and dress; but the woman who bangs her hair, powders the shine off -her face, hides a blotch or scar under a piece of court plaster, who wants pretty gloves and stock ings, trim slippers, perfumes, balms, cold creams, linger curls, and faucy notions to increase her charms is the woman who is ad mired every time. Those long, lean, lank, common sense women may god about with thoir wholesome ugliness and cheap simplic ity, -but the proctv'sion of men who follow is not a long on ;." Verona Jarbeau in St. Louis liepublioa,a. To Circumvent 'fluff' "It can't get tho best of me," said Mrs. Anderson, ''though I will say, 1 don't know as I ever should have got ot it juat right without Almiry, my cousin down to the Port, who bouts all for notions, an1 seems as if she schemed from nionun' till night how to get ahead of dirt. Bhe laughed one day wheu I was down there an' went into her spare room, an1 just sort of natural like looked round under thiugs, t M ' Xou'rn looking for fluff,1 soys she. 'I kuown you, I'nrtheny. Look away!you won't find any. I've got even with fluff at lost, an' I'll tell you how; though I ain't cer tain you deserve it. Sweep ail you like, but whon you're through an' -the dust's all et tlod, an' you've dry dusted tables an' ohairs an' such, take half a pail of warm water an' a big cloth, wring the cloth pretty dry for wet's as bud us none at alland then just go over the whole carpet.' " " 'Take the color out,1 says I. " 'No it won't,' says she, 'an I know, for I've tried it; but if you're skeered about that, all you've to do is to put a spoonful of am monia iu the water. It brightens up the colors, an' It's death on moths, au' it sort of sweetens up everything.' - "I didn't say much then, but I went home an' tried it; an1 it's about tho best thing. I know for circumventing the unaccountablost thing I know about, au' that's - Fluff." Helen Campbell in Deiaorcst'B Monthly, Mending with the Machlnn, -Where there is a sewing mrffchine iu the borne it should -bo used as much as possiblo in the family 'mending. Some women never think of using the machine for anything but making new or making over old garments, while others use it to do as much of the family mending as can be done couveniently. When there is a rip or a slit in a garment nothing can mend it as quickly as the jnochiue, while for sewing on a patch it u excellent, First baste the patch ou evenly, then sew with machine, dampen and press, and the patched place will look as nice, if not nicer, than if done by hand. Fof boys' and men's clothes it is much better than band sewing, owing to its being stronger. To bo sure, when the material is very worn and thin the hand sowing is best, aa the machine stitching would be apt to tear the cloth, but where the I'ubnc is strong and there is a good deal of patching to be done, the sewing machine will be found to be a great help to the tired mother while repairing tlie family wardrobe. Boston Budget. A Working Girl's Ad vice. "It's a girl's own fault if she is treated with disrespect by bor emploj-ers," said one pleas ant faced, gnntle mannered young woman. "If you attend to your work, and do fairly by your employer, he'll generally do right by you. If he shows any signs of not doing so, let him see at once that you won't put up with any other treatment but what's right. Don't understand any double meaning re marks, either. If you. laugh at them as jokes the man will go on and say worse. But just look grave and make him explain what he means, and then he gets ashamed of himself. There's is no use in being afraid'of a man because he gives you your work. Ho doesn't respect you half as much, and when you're trying to please him by putting up with what no- self-respecting girl ought to take you can jdst be sure you're degrading yourself and ail to n purpose, New York. Evening World, . '., Reforming a Ilula'Kl. . I know a young lady who had everything which usually constitutes the happiness of those who hove not yet climbed the golden stairs of matrimonial paradise. Her age was 20; she was a brunette of graceful figure, with a peculiarjy animated expression of ronntcnane. Her complexion was rich and warm, her large gray eyes were n,eTy, and Ijcr features would pass muster among sculp tors, She bad beaux by tho score. At length she came to a decision, d I heard of her marriage. 1 knew the young man whom she chose and was startled. That was five years ago. A year ago I was riding up town on a car. 1 heard my name pronounced ami looked, but did not at first recognize the face, which was faintly smiling at met It was weirdly pale and wrinkled and careworn. I looked puzzled for a few moments, and then it dawned on roe that this was the wreck of one of the prettiest girls in Brooklyn. I ac companied her as far as the door of her house. It was a tenement house. "I won't invite you in today," she said; "my rooms are somewhat disordered." I said nothing, but I understood. It was pitiful to see her try to keep up the pretense of being light hearted, happy and prosperous. A week ago J beard her husband was In the lunatic asy lum and her babv dead. Now she has gone home to begin life over again. Bhe had mar ried a man to reform him, -Cor. Brooklyn Eagle. . ; ' lio'lns in Ilrrt. . I must tell you about my little girl going to bed. Bhe doesn't like to ge up stairs by her self at 7:30 and leave the lights, the' reading and music, but we have a new plan now, which works like a charm. She is never so happy as when personating some one beside herself. One night I proposed she should, play she was going to a ball. She (in imag ination) put on her satin dress, long gloves, slippers and what not and started off with much interest. Auntie was the coachman who took her to the party and she was very ready to go to bed for the sake of getting stalled. The next night she went to Cali fornia to visit some little friends. I wrote out a ticket for her to give the conductor, and she todk a sleeping car and next morn ing reported a lovely trip. Every night now she begins about 7 o'clock to know where shd had better go. I quite enjoy planning her trips for her and she goes off happy every night, "E, B. H." iu C4ood Housekeeping. , ' ' , Cow'n Milk for Infants, It is well kuown that while the milk of a healthy woman never disagrees with a healthy child, tfiat child cannot be fed with cow's milk without peril. Indeed, most cases of4 cholera infantum are among, tjie bottle fed, and a babe suffering from this disease will generally recover at once if it can have a more natural nourishment. One important difficulty with cow's millc for infants is portly from its nature and partly from the freer and more copious draughts with which it is taken into the stomach it tends to coagulate into large masses of solid choesp. Tuia is thrown ia sour lumps into tho bowels, and keeps them iu a state of perpetual irritation. Now, Jime water added to tho milk say one part in five or six prevents this coagulation, and if other hygienic conditions are right, the dan ger of cholera infantum is very much dimin ished. Youth's Companion. . ' - Where Men Are Ciijunt, . A popular belief, current among men at least, is that women enjoy dressmaking. Undoubtedly it is pleasant to see a shabby old gown metamorphosed into a compara tively fresh new one by the aid of judicious turning, sponging and retrimming, Theend crowns the means. But it is not invariably a delight to a woman, to go through the tire some lninutia? that precede the agreeable ter mination. There are numbers of women who anticipate the spring and fall dressmak ings with deep groauings of spirit. Left to themselves, they might fuss along with their old clothes. But every true woman desires to look her best, not only in her husband's eyes, but also, for his sake, in those of his friends. So she plaus and acts and contrives, with what skill she may, to save his purse and bis pride. To say the least, his unfavorable oommentB savor of ingratitude. Harper's Bazar. ; t Cultivate Simplicity. Kever be withheld fromntertaiuing from the mistaken idea that you must follow the example of richer friends and neighbors, even if it be far' beyond your, means and in clination.' Simplicity is never vulgar; lav ishness usually ia JEhitertaiu according to your circumstances, but gracefully and cor dially, thus following the example of one of the most admired society women of New York, whose narrow purse permitted but the most frugal table, and who, therefore, offered at her weekly luucb.es the two accomplish ments of her cook: good ooffee and bread and the delicious fish hash, in the making of which she excelled. Aim Sawyer in Good Housekeeping. . A negro superstition is that if a girl can make up a pretty bed au accomplishment that Ruskiu says every woman should possess she wfU 'be rewarded, inasmuch as she will be sure to mary a man with a well aliaped nose. If, ou tlie contrary, her bed making is not approvable, the man of her choice wdi have a most ungainly nose.
