REDUCED TO A FINE POINT Btatistios Sharps Analyze Matrimonial Ohanoes and Ohills. BTRESS OF MODERN SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS | Koves of Spring Bonnets Bloom In the Win- Persons and y World— The Latest In Fashions. A chill writer, a man, of course, has collected some interesting statisties upon the subject of men and matrimony that are worthy of contemplation these som- ber Lenten days. The result of his cal- i culations is offered in the tabulated list, which shows us the p centage of marr at various ages to 80. Ti gays the Cincinnatl out of 1,000 bachelors (widowers have a table to themselves) only twent may be expect take unto themselves wives when they are between th of 20 and 2 Now, although it is emphat- fcally at such an age that youths make a profound study of the ethics of flirta- tion, T must disa with the clever #tatistician when he laments their con- tinued bachelorhood. It would be but a sorry spectacle to see them making a study of the ethics of repenting at le ure tion, as ninety-four marriages may then be expected among 1,000 marriageable men, which leaves only 906 maidens Mwith nothing more substantial, as a cmmm'y of past tenderness, than a all program, or, may be, & with- ered flower Bachelors whose agi vary from 30 to should be stren- uously cultivated. sitively 138 out of the thousand are desperate enough take the fatal stey whil from 35 10 40, 147 are sufficiently bold to doso.

Judging from the experience of most women, men com- mence to do so at 17, and work ste and perseveringly away at the iplisment until they reach the or 23, when they only indulge in this mild form of recreation as an occasional ipastime. Now, the table that has been ‘given to us proves that, until he is 35, |a bachelor's proposal has absolutely no ‘marketable value. 1t may, indeed, only e said to fetch a reasonable price be- tween the ages of 30 and 45. The deduc- gion from all this is obvious. Common ‘gense forbids us to give our hearts into the keeping of a man under 30, as the aforesaid hearts must inevitably be fbroken. It scems that at even the most i blooming hymeneal periods the chances against tinal annexation of a husband ave nearly seven to one. The news is xot chicering to engaged couples. In By case, I advise Angelina, when 1d- win falls on his knees, to think of this table of her chances, and to be prudent. * he P Another statistical sharp has come to Jight in San Franeisco, and he has, after reading several hundred novels, given us the benefit of thow men and,women behave at the criti- gl point-when 4 man pays a woman the comfifiment of asking her to share his “burial lot with him as well as the time B jntervening before that uninteresting vent. Some fallacies are exposed, the princi- pal one being that the ladies do not promise to be a sister to the rejected one oftener than seventeen times out of . fifty, while she promises to be s friend twenty-six times in the same number. Now, as to the gentleman’s behavior, decidedly the popular thing is for him ‘»tauuclm-u that he cannot live without the woman in question, and in sixty: l seven cases in 100 he kisses her on the lips, seventy-two times he holds her L hands very tightly, and sixty-three times he begins "‘all of a sudden.” The least popular thing for him to do Bis to kiss the woman on the head, on the mose by mistake, and on the shawl. He ysually sits upon a chair or sofa, three times he reclines on the grass, four times he goes on one knee, and twice he [ goes on two knees, so that the kneeling | husiness is pretty well evened up. 5 The popuan thing for the lady, in case of an acceptance, is to sink into the arms of the gentleman, and this she does eighty-one times out of & hundred, and ‘In eighty-seven cases she knows that " something is coming. Seventy-two times she has eyes full of , Jove, and sixty-six times she rests her | head upon the gentleman’s breast. Only ! four times is she taken by surprise, and six times she weeps silently for joy. Once she sneezes, once she struggles not 0 be kissed, and once she says, “*Don't be a foc svidently the Fproper thing for the gentleman to rush amaaly away, for he does this in thirty- one cases in fifty. He declares that he ‘'will commit suicide but six times, once he says he will go to the devil, and thir- teen times he thinks he will go home. Once he pounds a stone wall with his fist, once he pulls down his vest, and only once does he refuse to be prayed for, but he swears that life is of no value soventeen tim e When life comes to that point when nobody has time for anything; when friends meeting in casual encoupter as- sure each other of their desire¥o meet b and enjoy sccial and sympathetic course, but_cannot because the driven with engagements—whe comes to this it is really a serious ques- tion. And itis precisely the condition in which every one deseribes himself as being. Recently two women desired to meet to study cortain works, bnt on com- paring notes as to time there was actually not an hour for two weeks that both could spare at the same time. The days are not long enough. The are full and overtlowing. A week s filled before es and the inevitable program of and events that fill the blank one's engagement book leave ittle margin for the unexpected, which i enovgh of itself for ench any. Now to have one's life reduced to the m fill- ing of engagcments consecutive! as they arrive, is simply to V've the life of s more or less—and probably 1 in- telligent utomator. The steess of modern regniverents demands of the iadividnal that he live several lives in one. .He needs arvelay of seives, He req lives one toattend to his especial ecalling in life; another to read, if he would keep up at all with the march of contomporary literature. to say nothing of thy classics and the master the past; one to fuifill social obligations of the more public and spectacular kind and saciber o enjoy the finer flavor of life in that quietintimaey thav is a thing wholly apart from *‘socioty” and which is the sweetest happiness that social life affords. . D3 A Union Pacific official tells an amus- In‘ incident of travel iu the Salt Lake ‘I'ribune, in Which Julia Ward Howe is the principal figure. He was guhgl form of a | we are informed, | From 25 to 30 they grow in resolu- | west from Omaha, and sat just behind | an aged lady in the sleeper. Actuated by & |n-nn\‘n{nnt notion, the Union Pacific man volunteered to ald the gray-haired woman in reaching the dining car at dinner time. After seating his escort carefully the railroad man went to the other eud of the car to take his meal. After he had done this twice in succes- sion, the old lady accosted him on their return to the sleeper thus: ‘‘Now, why don't you insist on leaving me alone after so kindly assisting me to a_seat in the dining car?” The railroad man's face flushed and he was staggered for a moment. Finally, after a succession of “‘ahems” and coughs, he sali “Well, my dear lady, I went to the other end of the car because I had a bottle of beer as a part of my meal. and I did not wish to place it on a table where it might be ob- jectionable.” Is that all? Well don't bother you any longer. You sit w today and bring an extra bottle.” The railroad man had suspected her of being a temperance organizer and or- ator, but when he was assured that she | was an anti-prohibitionist he repented | by sharing his liquid with herat futur meals. He had become aware of he woman suffrage leanings, but never su pected the name of his aged and inter- esting friend until she started to leave the train, when he saw her pointed out by a ludy as Julia Ward Howe. 5 that | th me | *"e If T were asked by a young man or a young woman how to fo guided in the e of a life mate I should, in the exercise of a judgment based on_wide and studious observation, say: Choose that person who, after a reasonablo | period of association, proves to be most companionable, writes John Lambert Payne in a pertinent article on ‘‘The Se of Happy Marriages” in the March Ladies’ Home Journal.

By and by when I do sit in the chimney corner and knit and watch the children’s children play around me, I am sure I shall think: How happy and safe am I, and what a beautiful thing life is, particularly the close of it!” » B Distracting, is it not, to have the shop windows full of new bonnets when one honestly desires to renounce the ‘‘devil and all his works” through the Lenten fast? The new spring hat is classified by the New York Sun as a gay and friv- olous creation of chip in green or blue or heliotrope. Sometimes 1v is of straw with strands of many colors interwoven like the felt braiding worn through the winter. Or it may be of leghorn in the old “flat” shape, the brim drooping in becoming curves and big roses lying Tux- uriantly in beds of fine and filmy lace on the crown of leghorn braid and & shirred crepe de Chine brim of blue caught up on one side to make a nestling place for a handful of pink buds against the hair. Another feature of the spring hat is the drooping lace festooned about its brim, It has feathers, too; not the erect and selt-confident grenadier guards we have worn, but softly curling, shyly conscious baby tips. with roses playing at hide and ro seek in and out of th soft plumes. The spring hat is demure; therefore it will bear close watching. 1t is likely to surprise us with Machiavelian propensi- ties for deep laid schemes to startle, cun- ning devices to astound. 1t promi centricities galore and coquetries irre- sistible. After all, it is interesting if it isn't becoming. *s A handy boot and shoe cupboard can be improvised out of any old packing case of suitable size. This can be fitted with light matchboard pigeon-holes, each holding one pair of shoes. If the lid is available (the case being stood upon its side) it can be fixed on to a paivof hinges and form a real miniature cupboard, which. being stained and Aspinalled, will also serve as a seat or small table. Without necessarily troubling about having a door the case could be covered with eretonne or chintz, padded on the top with flock, and so form a settee; if 80, the piece of material which would fail to cover the pigeon-holes is gener- aily tacked on to a sheet of cardboard or has heavy lead buttons slipped in the hem, so that it may fall firmly and keep the dust away.

The prominence of cigarette smoking women in modern fiction, especially in dealing with the refined products of civilization on the continent, must have been noticed. 1f smoking by women were one of the commonest and most natural thingsin life at great Euro- can conters, we should not be surprised, | ut we do not believe it is yet so com- | mon, at least as a public practice, as the fiction writers would show.

She began by treating her husband’s horses during an influenza epidemic. She had long been a skillful nurse, and noticing that mules and horses suffered just as people do, she decided to doctor them in the same way. Warm blankets and hot applications, both external and internal, proved re- wbly effective, and finally the ap- tive animals would open their mouths to take her remedies, had recovered Mi ragred by her book she could find on the disea horses and mules and their surgical ‘atment, until she could set a broken leg, extract a nail from the hoof and treat influenza and lockjaw. st ¥u the mother of Washington, not long after the inauguras tion of her son as the first president of the United States. In 1833 Silas Bur- rows, & wealthy and patriotic citizen of New York, offered to build a monument over her grave. The work was begun and the corner-stone was laid with im- posing ceremonies by President Andrew Johnson in May of the same year. Finan- 1 reverses overtook Mr, Burrows, itis said, and the monument never rose above the basal structure. Thisand the marble monolith, which was intende top the pile, but which rests on its side, half buried in the accumulated mold of years, have been chipped by relic- hunters and eracked by the weather.

A great deal of iridescent trimming is shown for millinery as well as for other garnitures. Velvet will be one of the fashionable fabrics for spring, either by itself or in combination. Rolling and curved hats have given way to sharp, decisive looking plaited brimmed ones. ‘Women talk a good deal, of course, but so would men if they had as many interesting things to say. Lace is one of the leading fabrics of the season. There are handsome chan- tillies in black and colors. s A fashionable tint for evening gloves in undressed kid is that called beurre frais, or fresh butter, Clan-plaid ribbons and silks are im- ported in _enormous quantities for milli- nery and dress trimmin, There'll be a skeleton in every closot sure, if erinoline comes in again, and the goat will get a little variation from tin cans. In kid gloves the popular lengths are four, six and eight buttons and there is a good demand for the mousquetaire style. White lace in all widths and flounc- ings are to be used. Laces with gold threads and iridescent embroidery are much liked. Ottoman ribbons, with corded edge, ave used fov trimming purposes; also Persian and Roman ribbons in graded widths, and also for sashes. Silk gloves are to be worn again, and ght shades and tints promise well for summer wear. White gloves are to be worn for almost all occasions. The Bolero jacket is one of the features of the season. Embroidered jacket fronts are shown for making up with almost all classes of fabrics. Although paniers arc not yet openly favored by fashion, theve ave” some indi- cations that, before the season is over, they may be arrived at by indirect ways. Some of the stylish Henri Deux capes have strapped shoulder puffs and length- wise rows of cut-jet gimp on the revers collar, the latter edged narrowly with ostrich feather trimming. The point of exaggeration the length of dress coats having been ched, it is likely that there will be a decided reaction in favor of somewhat shorter styles for next season. New felt hats of pale rose pink and otrope are trimmed with violets, surtsesse or jonquils intermixed with green velvet ribbon, or with damask voses and ecru silk guipure lace. Lace capes fashioned much like the winter models, with velvet or jetted yolkes and collars, nave made their ap- pearance, like many other of the season’s fashions, long before they ave required.

One of the choice models is the Olga, significant of its Russian origin, and is of heavily repped silk in dark hunter's green. The average husband pokes a good wife's predilec- tion for what appears to be unfruitful shopping” expeditions, but he seldom gives her due credit for all the money that she saves by “looking ‘round.” A late Parisian novelty —bats in dia- monds—are bizarre enough to attract the attention of those seeking after r and strange effect st and rearrango ting advantage a vall costum Linen collars and e agai high favor, but worn with a diffe The cuffs are no longer a mere strip of white below the sleeve, but protrude for an inch or two, like a man's wristbands.
