Under the surroundings and for the present it may be the best that the schools of this city be seperate, but they should have equal mghts as to the possession of material, appliances, buildings, apparatus, ete. Speaking of our schools and without the least desire what- ever to be the least rade, meddle- some or offeusive, we would just like to ask, do the janitors of the schools really attend to their du~ ties? Do our trastees ever take a birds eye view of the condition of their respective schools, from the standpoint of cleanliness, ete. We merely: ask for information. That is to say will our trustees just for a matter of pastime, institute a comparison between the Anglo- American and the Anglo-African schools ; that’s all just make a com- parison as to looks on the outside, and fittings ete., on the inside— Will you? Bishop Ireland we wili say for your information that the color line sword, is not only drawn on us in tke elevator at the National, Metropolitan and St. James Hotels, Arlington and Bijou Theatre, but it silently hapgs up in the oldest and largest civil military organiza- tion in this city. The G.A. R. adopted the ‘penning them togeth er system,” when they first organ- ized ; they set the example that has been followed with a vengeance by the masses of this community. It is argued that ifthe Grand Army draws the line on the colored man, then of course, we can do it. There is not an institution in this city that by its customs and practices does more or as much as this or- gatization to humiliate and other- wise belittle the race. Aud yet they stood shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, and knee to «nee, in the days of blood and trial. eae ‘A MAN’S IDEA OF HOME COMFORT. A man wants some one place in home that he can call his very own, some portion of the house where his will is law, where no conflict of authority caa arise. This is not al- together for the purpose of secur- ing solitude, for his family is usa- ally most welcome there, but the need for it springs from the desire for that sense of proprietorship which is his habit abroad, and from the wish to be able to do precisely as he pleases in at least acorner of his own house. Here should be the comforts that the man devises for himself, the loung- ing chairs, the desk and library, his smoking materials with license to use them. Here he should be able to feel absolutely at his ease, troubled by no fear of ““mussing things,” no ueed to thread his way anxiously through a maze of furniture and various decorative obstructisns, trembling lest somes thing should be overturned and broken, and there should be the seat of that admired disorder to} which heonly has the clue. His books and papers should be left, as he leaves them; though to the orderly female eye they may seem to lie in hopeless confussion. His desk may be littered with piles of books, magazines, letters, manu- scrips, eyerything that can possi- bly find a place there, but if a woman wishes to secure to a man one of bis most cherished home comforts, she will let that one laeskd.—Percy Vere, in March Ladies’ Home Journal, << HOW TO MARRY WELL. What girls should never forget is to be neat! Not primly so, but daintily so. The girl well got up, irreproachable gloves, and shoes that fit, thongh her gown be only | cotton, yet if it be well turned out may compete with the richest, while the slovenly dresser, who scorns or forgets to give attention to details, is passed over by the discontented eye, g gown may de a masterpiece of worth. A girl should learn to put ber gown on properly. No creature living takes more heed of externals than your orthodox man. He may not know the price, collor, or ma. terial of your clothes, but be will know to a nicety whether you are well or badly gowned, . One special point I would im- | huts at $4.00 regulur pric though her | goo! press upon the girls who desire, (as all girls do) to range them- selves well, to make a good mar- Tiage—is to be gentle. The craze for vivacity, for the free and easy style that border so closely on the manners of the demi monde that distinguished the society of ten years ago has providentially died a natural death. Now-a-days, men are sensible enough to look for comfort in their marriage lives. And surely the knowledge that one’s future wife has a heart as tender as it is sympathetic should and does, go tar to arrange a man’s decision of who shall be the part- ner of his daily life—The Duchess in Ladies’ Home Journal.
