The now year doesn't bring a ratan strength,. All of us: will do leas evil this year than we did lest -because it is Que day shorter. The year is dead -long live the year. Let us resolve that we have done better ; not that we will do better, The uew year ages rapidly. What we were we are ; what, we are we shall be ; what we shall be --is doubtful. • The new year is a sentiment, Each year people try to be better, because each year they come nearer the grave. In my endorsement of Auti-Dandruff I eau say something I could never say be- fore, which is that this preparation is a perfect remover of Dandruff, not only iu the first stages, but even where the plague has become chronic and has merged itself into a disease, ]'.ears of experience as a hair -dresser, during which time I have ex• perieueed with every recommended pre- paration, not one has (nor, I might say, even all put to gether) given the satisfac- tion that Auti•Dandruff has. It positively removes Dandruff. It stops falling of the hair. It cools the bead. It makes an elegant hair -dressing without leaving a trace of its use. I use it daily in my . dressing plane, at Balmoral Hotel, and have yet to find the first customer wlio was not pleased with it. J. T, FONTAIN), Proprietor barber shop, 13aimoral Hotel, Montreal, P.

Once acquired, this love for fine household linen will cling to a wo- man all her life. Indeed, what material thing can she bring to her new home that will give more pleasure than a gen- erous supply for her linen closet? Knowing the love of nearly every wo- man for dainty napery and other house- hold linens, it is a surprise to me. that more people do not select some of their Christmas and New Yoax's gifts from the linen counters. I hope .some of my readers may think of this when trying to decide what will bo acceptable to .their housekeeping friends. THE IMPORTED LINENS. Irish, French, Scotch and English table linens cover many grades, from the coarsest to the fi„est weaving and the most elaborate patterns. All the new designs are large, but in some of the choicest damasks it is possible to get small patterns, if they be preferred. The damask sold by the yard rarely in.Irish point, Mexican work and vari- ous kinds of lace. Larger doilies for bread, cake, cheese, etc., are embroid- ered in white or colored silks, with ap- propriate mottoes, Ladies whowish to do this kind of work for themselves, or their friends, can send to a stamping and embroidery store for a sample doily, and the materials 'for a dozen or more, One should aim to get as rnucll variety as possible in color and design in the dozen. A very fine linen is the ma- terial generally used. At the oriental stores there can be found a small doily, of a crepe -like ma- terial, thickly embroidered with silk, SH LOWS CURE. silver and gold thread. They come with and without a fringe, the fringed ones costing more than twice as much as those without. I prefer those with- out the fringe for table use. • These doilies can be washed, but it must be with great care.

In these hand- some cloths the border is deep, and the center frequently perfeetly plain. Floral and conventional designs seem popular. One dinner set, which costs fifteen dol- lars, has a design of sections of bamboo stalks strell,t over the surface, Irl ano- ther the bamboo forms small squares. The irregular one is by far the most pleasing. Another pretty cloth is strewn with a • ribbon scroll and some bell-, shaped flower. This set costa thirteen dollars tend a half. Several pretty sets in flower patterns -snow drops, leaves, etc. -cost nine dollars and a half. TABLE CLOTHS AND NAPKINS. The range in quality and price of table linen is greater than that of al- most any other fabric. It is a long step from the • materials that are so coarse, so° loosely woven that they might be used for sieves, to the double damask, so fine that even under 'a magnifying glass it is almost impossible to discern the threads. One can buy three or four yards of the coarse fabric for about a dollar, and it is possible to pay ono hun- dred times as much for a dozen napkins and a table cloth, three or four yards long, of the finer quality. But the average housekeeper does not go to these extremes. It does, however, often hap- pen that a woman with a limited purse, and a thousand calls upon it, makes the mistake of buying table linen of too inferior a grade. • It is poor economy to purchase a mixture of cotton and linen. Better a coarse all -linen table cloth than a fine one with part cotton, which may look attractive in the store, but cannot be laundered well, whereas the linen will improve with age and wear. In purchasing table linen the questions that the housekeeper should ask herself are: Will it be subject to hard wear, and be laundered by inexperienced hands? Can 7 afford to replenish it fre- quently? Shall it be fine and. beautiful, or durable, with as much beauty as pos- sible ander the circumstances? The finest goods are of Irish and French manufacture; but the German, while coarse, wear wonderfully well, and some of thein have very handsome designs. Nothing in the way of linen lasts longer than the half -bleached da- mask, and if one live in the country, this may be bleached to a snowy white. nese in a few months. In purchasing these German goods it is wise• to get a cloth that costs at least one dollar and a half or two dollars per yard, A cloth of this kind will outwear several of the cheaper cloths that are mixed with cot- ton, and if properly laundered will al- ways look well. Of course, one can get in these goods a fair piece of table linen at seventy-five cents or a dollar per yard, but the better quality will be found to be the cheaper in the end. Dinner, luncheon and tea seats may be had, the cloth costing no more than if bought by the yard, with the advantage of having a border all around it. • SIZE .tND QUALITY OF NAFELES. Fashion has decreed that a napkin shall not be put on the table a second time until it has been washed. row housekeepers, however, have the means to provide themselves with such a sup- ply of napkins, not to speak of the laun- dress to care for them; so the napkin ring is still a necessity in the average household. it is important, however, that the supfllyr be large enough' is ad.' For the small tables that are set for 5 o'clock teas, and card parties, etc., there are many pretty and inexpensive cloths. Plain linen, with a plain or double row of hemstitching, makes a satisfactory cloth. The cost is about one dollar for a cloth measuring a yard square; plain damask, with hemstitching, costs from. one dollar and a half to two dollars a square yard, and one dollar more for a cloth measuring ta'p square yards., Some long damask Cloths, with open work borders and a fringe, cost four of five dollars. Small hijn, stitched cloths of linen and damask *me for carving cloths, tray cloths' gild center pieces. They cost all the way from twenty-five cents upward. These are useful hi pro- tecting the table, and they may be made decorative by embroidery. For•limited purses these make sensible Christmas presents. -Maria Pailoa. O•s..auctoi and. Philosopher. Re was a street ear 6°1;Z:eater and also something of a philosopher, "You see, it was this way,” he said in telling his story. "The woman thought she was insulted, but she wasn't. I had a whole pocketful of pennies and didn't want any more, but she took some nick- els and pennies from her purse and care- fully sorted out the pennies for rue. Well, I asked her if she couldn't give me a nickel instead -that was the fare, you know -and she got mad. She said she never saw such an insulting con- ductor in her life. I told her I intend- ed no offence, ancl she glared at me and said she would report me; she would not stand such insolence." "She did report me, too. . She said that I had refused to take five pennies, and had treated her most insultingly. I was ` hauled up,' given her letter, and told that I must go to her home and apologize." ' ° Humiliating,': suggested the lis- tener. I should say it was humiliating," went on the conductor. " It's the kind of a thing that just makes a main shrivel up, lie feels so small," Of course you didn't go?" " Of course I did go." " I should think a man with any pride-" " 0, yes, pride's all right. I figured that out, and I couldn't see that it 'ud hurt my pride any more to go to her and say I was sorry than it would to go chasing 'round town telling people: " Please, mister, I'in a poor un fortunate man who's out of a job. Can't you give something to do so's I can keep things going at the house?" No, sir. When a man stands on his dignity he wants to sort of look around and see where lie's going to light if he topples over. Sometimes a fellow lights eight on top of his pride and crushes it so he can't recognize it.
