The poor old bachelor had beon trying o say a fow words to a friend's wife and had been “interviewed” by a couple of her childron, who had spoiled his hat and ruined his new fall overcoat with their sticky fingers, in their efforts to show their appreciation of ¢ friond.” He was justifiably dis 8till it was more or less laugha him go mcandering off toget his clothes brushed, muttering what he would do if he had children, while the innocent cul- prits wero chusing down the street afte a little brown dog, to the dismay of their mother, There is no reason_on earth why a dear little child should evor be a nu ance. All children may just as well be polite and carcful as soon as they aro able to go “shopping” as to be any other way. One good plan is to let them do the most of their Junching at home, the street is not built right for the 288, Mothers never dream what a nuisance children may be to a person who is un- accustomod “to them, if they did, thoy would teach their sons and daughters to be ordinarily polite and always neat as to finger tips, if they must pull and haul another's clothes, It certainly all dopends on the train- inga child ‘gets during his first two years of lifo, Not long ago, n party ‘went over to Lake Manawa to have a plenie. There were six or seven grown- ups and two children belonging to ono family, in the crowil. The lit- tle tots were 3 or 4 years old. They were live children, full of fun" and seemed determined to have a good time. All afternoon these children kept to themselves and amused themselves, and when lunch time camo (the crucial test for good manners in children), some one sug- gested that they be placed at the table, as they scemed to be getting restless. After what probably scemed an age to those dear little fellows, one said: *‘Oh, mamma, 1| don’t believe I can be good much longer, T am 8o hungry.” Every one applauded and their plates woro heaped with the best thero was, as no one could expect them to **be good” in the face of such tomptation. Woe have all witnessed another scene where the child will begin pulling the table cloth at the first stages of prepar- ation for a meal, will refuse to have his bib on becanse there is will finally have to be carrvied scream- ing from ‘the room. The mother is so worried she has lost her appetite, and the guests areso uncomfortable they wish devoutly they had staid at home, all for lack of a little training and dis- cipline for the baby at the proper time. Toa person who has no experienco with children in his everyday life noth- ing can be more delightful than an oc- casional visit with the wee people. To hear them talk, sce them at their amusements and hear all their little plans and wishes is joy enough for any one alive, and itis a shame that such pleasure should be spoiled by reason of the littlo soiled fingers or” rude man- ners. Some children are not happy un- less they are pulling, pushing and strik- g all the time. Such always appear at their worst when a * s present. But then one can for, much in his dittle friends if he loves them, and of course he aoes, who can hely it? And then when they are older, What i8 nicer than a boy with polished man- ners? An Omaha society belle, who re- ceives lots of attention from ycung men sald the othor day that there were two things in life which alw. made her feel proud as a queen; ono was when an old whiteha man raised his hat to her in the sta fashion which some eldorly gentlemen practice; and the other was, what do you think: when her best youny man met her in the streot? Notat all. It was “when a small boy fnw]m his hat by the top and raised itup n the air about a foot with the grace which only a boy can show.,” Some boys are so afraid of boing considerod **dudes” that they are apt to look on little points of politeness and culture with scorn. There could be no greater error. No one, since the days when Sampson combed his long locks, has evor mistaken a dude for a gentleman, or a gentleman for a dude. The family resemblance is there, but it is very slight, and scarcely discernable, A boy, if he is a suc in any calling must learn to bo polite some time in lite, and tho younger he boegins the easior for the boy. If mothers would only keep that fact in mind, that good manners in a boy are things which have a commercial value, if they have no higher roason for making gentlemen of their sons, 80 many boys would not go whistling, rucing and slamming doors through tho business offices where thoy are employed, making themselves ob- noxious to all who come in contact with them. A boy to be a gentleman must do so unconsciously, because he does not know how to be anything olse. Mrs, Sudbor- ough, in falking of her visit to the training schools in Canada, said the other day at the woman's club that the thing that struck her the most forcibly in the schools in Toronto was the utter lack of self-consciousness in the chil- dren. They would sing, recite and do- claim exactly as they would have done if thero had béen no visitors or grown poo- ple present. No ono ever saw this an American school, or family hardly, if callers wore present. This is'all because of the faulty training, because the elders in the family have two sots of manners, one for the family and another for the “oureless stranger.” To be without self-consciousness is the true soeret of real politeness. Of course men and Women of the world affect this manne but in a child it may as 1 be natural, if the littlo fellow has balf a show. Lit tle folks only imitate what they see and hear every day, and have no means of distinguishing one untruth from another, Children are the most interesting. nysterious and lovable beings ever cre. ated, and how a mother can ever miss A opportunity to polish and teain them B0 they will always appear at their best, 15 & mystory unsolvable. There is & certain class of women who take more delight and pains with overything else in the world, trying 1o outshine some one else, than they do with their chil- dren, when these self-same neglected little ones would respond quicker, give more In return for care bestowed, and feel the neglect worse than all else on earth combined. 1If some mothers only had time to try the experimeunt of wonld leave v have s0en0 ¥ [ usted, papa's | 10 6o | ompany and !

Inanswer to the first question Rhea says: “Some actresses are born, some are made.” Panny Davenport say “No one is born successful. I think the success of an actress is won by applic tion and persistence.” Mrs. John D reply is brief: *‘Born, not made.” Mrs. Annie Yeamans' reply is cqually to the point, only—its the "other point. She declares: The ceessful actress is made.” Annie Pixley thinks: “The su cessful actress is Dorn, undoubtedly.” Aunt Lonisn agrees that such is the case, while Minnie Maddern Fiske says that, as a rule, even the *‘born” actress needs to have been *‘nurtured from early youth by the warmth of the footlights.” There is a_delightful variety in these replies which, as before suid, is bound to carry convietion. The young woman who feels sure that the divine fire of genius is burning in her soul will echo the *“Born, not made;” while the plucky girl who modestly asserts that she doesn’t think she was especially creatod 10 fill the leading role, but means to do it, just the samo, will murmur Rosina Voke's “Fit non nascitur,” and take a fresh start, On the second question tk unanimity, magnetisy Fanny © is more As essentials Rhea places first, beauty last. So do Davenport, Mrs. John Drew, Annio Pixley, Mrs. Yeamans and Mrs. Fiske. Rosina Vokes puts hard work first, beauty next and magnetism last, while Aunt Louisa is a trifle eynical, and says that, although beauty should be the least essential, it seems at pr ent as if hard work isthe only thing which is not in the least necessary Aunt Louisa gets really pessimistic in fact, and says that the forces which create stars in these dark d are “beauty, somebody’s money, diamonds and unlimited cheek!’ Why, Aunt Louisa! As for the last question these authori- ties speak with almost one voice and say that fame and fortune cannot fill the void where home and a quiet life should be. Rhea, however, suys Lo the true actress her art isacreed upon whose altar all else is unflinchingly sacrificed. Success makes one forget all the strug- gle and pain that were suffered in its achievement.” Fauny Davenport also says that success more than com- pensates for the losses, but she hastens to add that success is a shy bird and vhat stage-struck young women would botter consider long and carvcfully. Annie Pixley thinks it depends upon the woman, If she loves her art, the loss of home life will be nothing. But if sho follows her profession for euse or money, the sooner she marcies and set- tles down the better for her, and for the theater-going public, This scems to be a case, in truth, whore doctors disagree, and probably, there- fore, every dramatically inclined young woman will pick out the opinion which lends most color to her. view of the case, and not abate ono jot of her Thespian inclinations. Q.U Nows comes to us from the west of a young man who had run through a large fortune in trying to entertain three chorus girls at the same time and keep them all well supplied with jewelry, wine suppers and other expensive lux- uries, and who ended it all by firing a bullet through Ids brain and leaving as tho only legacy at his command threa Jjars into which his ashes were to be put, ouch girl to receive one of them. Whether the young women in question will be pleased at this token of remem- brance, or whether they will feel some- what embarrassed by carrying around with the make-up boxes and stage ward- robe their particular portion of the late lameated youth, it is hard to say; but judging from chorus girls in general they do not object toa young man's dust, but do not hanker aftor his ashes. b‘i 1 are very wisé and many a time they give expression to thoughts which are in the minds of grown people, but which their superior knowledge of the world prevents them giving voice to.

A greenish blue is the color in dress goods this fall which is bent on carrying off all the honors.

In this new volume there is a de ure from the beaten path und the result is a gifs book which 1s wholly unique. As ictimated in the title the pages ure printed in blue, a aelicious tint. The sketches were made directly from nature without the aid of a camera and their character has been finely preserved by the masterly hand of the engraver on wood. Our artist possesses the rare gift of sugges- tion, and her sketches of meadow and moun- tain, woodland and lake, lone forest roads, bird life and of flowers, ferns and grassc blend in forming an ensemble of senci in tho verse and prose, distinct and stronger than the utteranc simplo words could produce.

The poem is purely ideal and suggests what only its own words can ade- quately express. What the lines convey the reader feels rather than undersvands, it being difiicult to reduce it to what in former times was called *‘an argument.” The thovght and the scene are in the spiritual world. The illustrations present a shadowy concrete in naturve in dim, suggestive out- lines supplying an analogy to the subtle ideas of the poem, A Fallow Field will noy be a meroly useless tract of land to those who have considered the suoject; it will re main a fertile source of reflection, a perim nert vision of the interior life. The sketches wero made in charcoal and were reproduced in half-tones, special carve having been taken to preserve the churvacter of the work. The volume contains about thirty full pages and ttes, The stanzis are separately en- in a tasteful style and the volume is d to those who enjoy the attempt to unito the beauty of art to' the beauty of thought.
