The hour de* j p?Mids altogether Upon where one liven , In this age, and It haa depended every* - where upon the epoch of the world, i In many rural district* of thla coun- j try it lies between noon and one o'clock. The dinner time of many 4Virmera ftnri of thoae in the smaller town* Is almost exactly that of prlnceH and noblemen in Shake speare's time. Many linen in his works Indicate all the world dined, at that time, In the middle of the day In our largo cities most persons do not dine until six or seven o'clock. In Kurope tlx* dinner hour In the cities and towns Is always late In the day, for tho'igh in many of the country dls trictu the people still eat their chief meal In the middle of the day, the dinner hour of society never cornea before six. In Kugland the ultra-fash* lonable folk dine at eight o'clock. Tho French breakfast comoB at noon; their dinner at kIx or a little later, and their aupper ^t hJne or ten. Hut as they do not all remain In bed until noon, u light meal Ih needed early In the morning, and they usually take their "coffee" upon arising? ^a aort of lunch with a cup of coffee with a roll or a few cakes. The changes undergone by the French dinner hour Indicate the ten* dency of the meal hours to become later an life becomes more artificial. It i? related that In the reign of Louis XII. In the simple epoch at the begin ning of the sixteenth century, the king went to be<| at six In the evening, rose at daylight or before and dined at eight In the mbrnlng. Hut these hours did not last long. Frances 1. Louis' successor, moved the dinner hour along a little. He dined at ten o'clock in the forenoon and supped at six. From the reign of Henry IV to the year 1627.lt was the custom at the French court to dine at 11 o'clock. At J that time it became the usage to dine i nt noon, and the supper hour came af | seven in the evening. j Louis XIV dined at one o'clock, and ! Ibis hour was the customary one until well Into the eighteenth century when, I with the, elegant people of <?e court,! dinner was deferred, until two o'clock) and presently postponed until threo. The middlo classes of society followed' the fashion at court. After the French revolution the j dinner h?ur came still later? at . live ; o'clock, and finally nt hIx And so- i defy In t !io rest of the world has 1ml- I tated this custom, together with so I many other French usages New Definition.

Every pupil In the class was thinking hard Finally little Johnny Brown's hand shot up. "Well, Johnny," said the teacher, "what are the women of the Indian tribes called ?"
