Would you please get it for me. you gee such pretty things." And so the wardrobe grew, until, in addi­ tion to the working gear and underwear, there was a pretty jersey jacket, a heavy cloak, a woolen shawl, and a well made black cashmere dress. This latter was a source of special pride as being “my Boston dress,” so called txicau.se it was purchased at the Hub by special commission. As possessions in­ creased, so did her self respect. The poor girl had evidently fancied that good and abundant clothes were set ajiart tor an order of beings quite remote from her, and with whom she could not expect to have anything m common. Of course there were some drawbacks and discouragements. Sometimes a lew dollars would be expended foolishly for article« more showy than pretty, durable or suitable, or some uice. pretty garment would be worn when about rough and dirty work, to the great detriment of the garment and the dis­ heartening of the mistress. Sometimes good materials would be “witched" distressingly Again, the seams would be long and numer­ ous. and the button boles would need atten­ tion when more pleasant occupations were inviting pursuit. But there was a reward and good cheer in seeing a tidy handmaiden and in listening to the delighted exclamation: “I didn’t think I could ever have anything tike thisl” By and by. another way to partial release for me, and self help for her, suggested itself.

Show me a pauper with a real bad attack of kleptomania,’ and I will believe that there is such a disease, for, if there is. why should not the poor be as susceptible to it as the rich? My impression at present is that people are born thieves, as they are born musicians or singers—it is a gift, though a deplorable one, and is ac­ companied by great cunning and «agac- ity. Another fact which disproves tiie kleptomania theory is that never in my experience of many years have any goods been returned or paid for by the friends of people afflicted with this imaginary malady; it is only when dis­ covered stealing that they and all their friends call them kleptomaniacs. When a woman comes in here and buys a new bonnet and walks off bold with it on her head without paying for it, or takes a waterproof off a figure and puts it on herself before us all. I know she is a victim of mental aberration and treat her accordingly.

It was not given lightly and al most as a matter of course to any applicant. Of late the formality of introduction has been much abused. There is no longer the same caution and discrimination in the tnaL ter. “People will often unthinkingly Introduce to their friends the merest casual acquaint­ ances, of whose moral and social standing they know absolutely nothing, forgetting that by so doing they are pledging their own honor for their conduct. It is of course prin­ cipally owing to the easy and matter of course fashion in which introductions aro asked and obtained that adventurers and for­ tune hunters are able to secure a footing in good society so easily. If proper care were taken to see that those seeking introductions were what they professed to be, the opera­ tions of these gentry would 1« rendered much more difficult."—New York Mail and Express. Onions for the Complexion. I wish to whisper a little secret, especially to the girls who read The Household col unins. ft is this, girls: If you wish a clear, smooth skin, just eat onions. My sister and I have as fine, fair skins as you often see. We are never troubled by pimples, boils or eruptions of any kind, and this is largely due, our family physician says, to the fact that from infancy we have bad onions once a week and usually oftener When my sister came home from a prim boarding school a few years ago, she declared that onions were a “vulgar food" and she “shouldn't eat any ” But when her faco would shine, and even a liberal supply of powder would not cover up the eruptions then she decire untrue, ambitious low. aims unworthy, their occupations frivolous, and their desires centered upon self, that this class of persons ire often more truly fullen than those we have so often branded as such, that she is the fallen woman who falls into selflnMxi, or who lives chiefly in her own lower nature.— New York Graphic. tVords of Politeness.

Thurston in Good Housekeeping. To Relieve Neuralgia. Nearly one-half the population are more or less afflicted with neuralgic pains. Instead of sending for the doctor, who will probably prescribe a plaster and a dose of medicine, advise the sufferer to beat a flat iron, put a double fold of flannel on the painful part, then move the iron to and fro on the flannel. The pain will cease almost imuiedi ately.—Good Housekeeping. To Cure Hiccoughs. Sit erect and inflate the lungs fully. Then, retaining the breath, bend forward slowly until the chest meets the knees. After slowly rising again to an erect position slowly exhale tho breath. Repeat this process a tieeond time, and the nerves will be found to have received an excess of energy that will enatde them to perform their natural functions. — Boston Budget. Coal Ashes for Paths.
