It Is stated tlint tlio progressive voting la
(II oh nrn buying shirts at tho fancy goods
stored filiiillnr to thoso worn by their fathers
and brother. One. Ilrtu Is wlil to have made
n vory good thing by selling a supply of Ihijb'
shirts to these fair creatures that were out of
fashion and would others No havo reinalneil
on their hands When girls licgnu to wear
their brothers' collars, buying tho tlrst u
ply of eouno at tho shops, ami purloining fur
ther supplier from their brothers' vvardrolH,
thulirothersof tho laud were lonil and plenti
ful with complaints. Now that tho looting of
tho collars promises to Ih followed byu whole
iwilu raid on tho shirts with culrs nttachtsl tho
lomestlc atmosphere is more charged with
danger than ever.
A "guest's" prlzo is tho latest thing tor tho
progressiva euehro and high II vo clubs.
Tho regular iiiemlors of n club unturally dis
like to luivu a guest Invited for a single even
ing carry awnj a prize, and to obiato tho
dllllcnliy a "guest's prio" is provided not
out of club funds, but by tho hostess who In
vites in outsiders. This goes to the guest
making tho best scorn, whllo tho club prizes
go to the regular memlxTH.
Ono must bo in fashion, If one sometimes Is
compelled to resort to peculiar methods.
Thero uns a young lady whom I saw at the
theater tho other night. Hho had an opera
glass, but it didn't havo one of those new
fangled handle attachments, ho she Improv li
ed a handle by Inserting tho end of her fan in
tho lluger-holcH, and thus sho hold It all the
evening. I suggested to a friend that It was
bccuiiMi sho wautisl to put on stylo, but ho
promptly replied that sho was probably laced
so light tlmt sho couldn't t also her arm high
enough to hold her glass to her eyes, and that
the use of the fan was a ease of necessity.
Girls, Is it a fact that any of you luce so tight

What does "cuto" mean Tliero arc a lot
of cynical young men, who smlloand answer:
"Why, don't, you know t When you say any
ono is cute, j on mean that their iowei limbs
havo a graceful curve Ilko this: ()." I cannot
think, however, that a word so universally
applied can havo such an Ignoble meaning
I know 1 he suoot.stgiil alniostanynh in who
calls a young man, who lo-s her ery dearly,
"A natty, cute, sweet man," and shoccituiu
ly doos not Intend to cast any relic tlnusuHn
bis physlcpie. llesides, ho all call girls "cute,"
when they at o little and In Ight anil l aelous
and full of stiaugely nttiactlvo mnmicrlsniH,
and I'm siuo but pshaw ! To 1h little Is tho
Olio absolute cssuitml to "cutoness," a girl
need not necessarily be pi etty e on. If sho
have a nose a trillo retrousse, it is an uilvan
tago;a moiilh somewhat too laige dis'sn't ln
torfeieat all. As for that, though, a largo
mouth is always delicious In a womnii If its
Mnilolo sweet and tho fines nlioiit the ll)
feoft and tendor. "Cuto" seems to be an uiol
ogy for lack of beauty sometimes We hear
It said: "No, she's not pr tty, hut soaw fully
cute." Any how, it Is a very ingenious and
userui little sling word and t almost any
where. -
Clara Hello is authority for tho statement
that tho dear girls, to lsj absolutely correct,
must lmvo their underwear all of ono hue.
Yi ur coisvtH must harmonlo with your silk
skli Is and petticoat, and these again must bo
in lone witli your gown. If your diess Imj
iolet, then must y our underw ear iw a dainty
lavender. If you robo yourself in pink, your
sUits nnd coi sets must 1st tho color of tho
rose. If blue, your undergarments must also
suggest forget mo-not. After a tliuo your
friends will know your favorite huoof under
garments, and will, in giving you a present,
make a delicate allusion to your fancy. A
woman who generally wears black, always
robos her snowy form in palest iiuiuvu or lav
ender unilergiiimoiit. Ono of her dear oIK)
friends sent to her a basket of violets tied
with knots of swisjt lavender satin ribbon.
Another, lu giving her a dainty piece of Dres
den china, ornaments tho gilt with roses of
the same sweut shade.
Then, too, your jxTfumes must match your
gowns. White lilac must bo waftedfiom tlio
soft billows of white lace or tulle, which it
ploasesyou to wear; if you adopt pink you
must smell as sweet asnny rose. Whatshould
go w Ith blnckf Homo subtle, sensuous eastern
porfumo or a mixture of various sweet odors.
You must have some favorite sachet owder,
and, taking a (uinntity of It, put with it orris
root, almond meal and bran, tying it all in a
Ixig of thin muslin, or cheese-cloth. This
must go to tho Turkish bath, along with your
comb and brush, nnd your attendant must
rub you with this during the Bhainpoolug,
kneading tho delicate fragrance into your
glow Ing skin. Stockings long enough to jhiss
for tight are slowly Incoming favorite gear
for those who can airord to follow ovury
whim of fashion.
Tin recently cabled reports that Mrs. Alice
Shaw had declined to marry an English lord
and an Italian duko aro a now instance of tho
fact that a w hlstler hath no honor in her own
country. For sevoinl winters lcnutlfu! Mrs.
Shaw went begging for nn audience among
us. Hut Mrs. Shaw has twins, and an appe
tite, and to satisfy these matters she eventu
ally resolved on the, at that time of precari
ous condition in her llnnnces,desierato meas
ure of seeking in Iondon tho money that was
refused her In Now York. Hut Mrs Shaw is
at once a pretty woman, musician of ability
and a novelty, These qualities, Joined to
feomo good loiters, soon gained her an Intro
duction Into English society. Tho first Im
portant victim of her chains was tho Shall of
1'ersin, n gentleman w ho no sooner looked on
tho fair whistler than ho despatched an
equerry to ascertain on w hut terms ho could
add her to his liaiein. Although this was a
distinct triumph over Sorosis, it is verymuch
to Mrs. Shaw's credit that sho refused to en
tertain tho projiosltloii. Willi the dignity of
n modern mother of tlio Gracchi, Mrs. Shaw
entrenched herself behind her twins and gao
tho mitten to the Shah. Since that proosed
Intel national match was broken oir Mrs.
Shaw has devoted herself to whistling and
money-making with assiduity and success at
10 it night. She has bton smiled on by the
Prince of Wales, nr.d divided with llaimun
the applause of London. She has i el used a
Devonshire peerage and a Itoninn dukedom.

her adorable face upward to the gallants w ho

wears a gown of hellotrojMi and sliver in
which the deep tone of the violet is shown in
tho cincture nbout tho waist. It Is drawn
from tho shoulder points and caught by a
star of Hail tlire.nU at tho curve of the
white bust A similar star is fastened in
the hair Just above tlio center of the fun,
head. Her hair Is a dark nmlmr and her
eyes violet. There at 0 dimples in tlm round
checks, and other dimples at the corner of
tho mouth when she smiles, which she doe
often lu an Insouciant fashion, as though tin
incensonf the woild was sweet in tlio nos
trils, which till a littloaud give tho baby face
Its one touch of daring.

sho will sit us cool as a III) of the vallo) in its
chosen sxjt on tho north side of the house.
Dut sho is short, and one is always disap
pointed in her when sho rises Not dumpy
short, for her form is as slnqs'ly as her face,
but of a height that girls much lesi pietty
can look queenly beside her.

MATTIK THOMPSON.
Miss Letter Is seen to lnt advautngo stand

inches lu height, but some marvelous train
ing has taught her how to uinungo length of
limb nnd arm. Her faoo Is faultlessly oval,
her eyes brown and of that long narrowness
which makes full eyes Boom staring. Her
brows aro black and of ovnn heaviness, and
at either side of tho forehead the slender veins
show through tho olive skin. She wears hor
black hair rolled longthwise from Just below
tho crown of her head to tho nape of the
neck, and nearly nlways, af tor tho manner of
tho hapless Ophelia, wears a chaplot of flow
ers about it, and sometimes venture) on a
wreath of led cherries and shining leaves.
Thero scums to Imj some magnetism about the
girl, for every eyo follows her as she insse
through a ball room. Miss Mitchell was too
short. Miss Loiter is too thin, lu spite of tho
fact that shu suffers the uiassugeur to knead
her every morning in order to put cushions
