' Women with pretty hands and wrists have found a n now way of preserving their charms for the delight of coming generations. They go the photographer and have their hands photographed. Some New York photographers uro beginning to make a specialty of reproducing hand some hands. It is hard to say where the idea came from. In all probability it is a modifi cation of the custom that the English woman has got into of having her feet and ankles reproduced in marble. The American woman lias not reached the mublo fashion yet. and it is hoped that Bho never will. It is quite natural thatayoung woman with handsome. hands should wish to preserve a semblance of their charm by means of the phothgraphor's art. for hands and wrists , like cheeks and lips , lose their beauty as the years go by. In ( line wrists bccomo too plump , and wrinkles gather about joints auk knuckles. The shin becomes dry and brown , and the palm loses its delicate " lingo of now-blown rose. There are "few things more handsome than a young and perfect hand. Hands tire photographed on glass negatives in the same manner as ordi nary pictures are nmdo. The hand , wrist and forearm are placed against a dark background in a strong light in front of the cuinora. The ordinary ex- posuo of a plate is then made. Black velvet makes an excellent background. All the beautiful curves and dimples of the hand are cloary shown. The wrinkles , however , are loft out. "It is tv very pretty custom , " said n photograpor who has some pictures of pretty hands displayed in nis show case. "Why shouldn't a young lady have a picture of her hands as well as her facoV A picture of that kind is a nice thing for a young lady to send to her female friends and her near rela tives. Sometimes those pictures are Bent elsewhere. A young lady came inhere hero a short time ago in a great hurry for a picture of her hand. She wanted It for a particular day for n particular purpose. Wo dropped a lot of other ivorlc und pushed that picture through with n , rush. I learned afterwards that she bent that picture of her hand In reply to a proposal of marriage. What is still bettor , her heart wont with it. " _ The Rngo fur Talismans. Chicago Mail : It is the fanhion now to have a fetich something to love , to chide , to bear , to swear by , to dream on , to talk to , to reason with and to worship us nothing mortal or material is wor shipped. It may bo a button without tv shank , -picked up from the marble Blab iu a Turkish bath ; a bangle found in a etrcot car with an indecipherable mon ogram on one faldo nnd a date on the other , in which case there will be fatal ity in the letters and luck in the num bers , combine them as one may. Such things as daggers , old coins , madstoncs , oyster pearls , ocean pebbles , nuggets , l > otritled stones , opals , amethysts and cornelians are dearly prized , and in jewels old designs , such as wlngs.clnws , bpurs , foils , cubes , and the like , ob tained or purchased under strange cir cumstances.

The zone was a gift from Napoleon leon , who received it from Abdullah Iloti , of Egypt. She is never without it ; sometimes it is worn about her dress and sometimes around her neck. It holds tin ) gathers of house and stitgo dresses and always encircles her night- robe. Aside from the worship of the girdle , she loves a knife , "becauseit cuts and is true cruelly true. " Tn all great undertakings she keep ? a blade in her hand or before her eyes as a remin der that failure may bo mended but never made perfect. Mary Anderson loves a pearl because it is pure nnd cold. Campanini pins his faith to a prune , and there is no time in the year when the fitone or fruit of the black , sticky confection may not bo found in his vest pocket. Ellen Terry's fetich is a bottle with a patent stopper which is never empty , because the cork remains. Mine. Patti likes the ivy be cause it clings and id poisonous , and the leaf is a favorite dooign with her. Digby Uoll has u horror of open drawers or open doors , and no nmttor where ho is , the temptation to "shut up" is irrchistiblo. On his way to the stage he positively will not pass an open door. There is a little lady in Chirngo , the wife of u popular singer , who is never without her dagger. The blade is as true a bit of steel as ever was tempered , and the weapon is worn with every style of costume. One night it came near trailing blood. Her husband was on the stage , singing and playing the part of lover to n beautiful soprano. There \VIH : a little more fervor in the work than the wife liked , and , leaving hoi- box , she ran oround on , the stage and waited for the couple in the o. p. en trance. Fortunately the husband was the llrot to meet the jealous little wretch , but the third act was more than a triilo late. How Women Buy Slioes. Now York Telegram : "Fitting on boots or slices is an art in itself , " said the superintendent of an extensive shoe store to a Telegram reporter to-day , "and there is not a salesman in a hun dred who can sell boots or shoes to some ladies. " "What is the difficulty ? " said the re porter. "Tho principal difficulty is the idea ivhieh seems never to lose ground among ndies that a very small foot is one of , he beauties of the female form divine , w , every Indy's foot is proportioned o her si/o and figure ; a tall , Blini lady vill have a long , slender foot , and a ihort , plump lady will have a short , dump foot ; but nearly every lady in- Ists that her foot is very smail and that iho can wear a shoo that is at least two izcs too small for hor. If you hint even in the gentlest ay that the boot she is trying n is too small she will at once bridle up and Hop out of the shore nnd you will never see her again. It is as bad as if you asked her ago. I have lost .ovcrnl . good customers in this way by ndiscrcot salesmen telling them that it .ook larger sizes to fit them than the boots or shoes they were trying on. " "How do you manage to get a lady ivho thinks sno has and really has not a small foot to take thesize that tltshcrV" aid the reporter. "Oh , that Is easily managed , " was the reply ; "when wo find a customer whom wo know will not bo easily litted wo quietly mark the boots or shoes down a sb.o or so smaller than they really tire and the lady , when she gets litted , goes nwny happy. There are some ladies , however , who really buy what fits thorn , knowing that the foot should bo propor- : loncd to the body , but most of them itivo the binall foot craze. " How Mrs. George Could Drosses. Pittsburg Post : But if Gould is care- ess in his dress his son George's wife , the ex-actress , is the reverse. Her toilets are marvels of tasteful expendi ture. She is above the average in uret- tincss , she has a distinguished style of her own , and she is ambitious to bo ad mirable. Her air is essentially that of an actress whenever she appears In pub lic , although it is tempered by reline- inont and controlled by exquisite judg ment. Even before she married into great wealth and was on n moderate salary in Daly's Theater company , she managed to bo a charming dresser. One of her achievements , over which she smiles retrospectively , was a dress that could bo used in both mimic und actual life. life.Sho She enacted in the current play n lady at a ball , and there wore a gown with no sleeves and little bodice. But the material was dark , and the bhaposc far as it went , was undemonstrative , Mrs. Gould ( nee Kingdon ) had sleeves and a section of cortago made to attach to the dross , and these turned it into ti suitable thing for afternoon calling ot Sunday church. Thus she gained sub stantially two robes in ono. She docsn'l have to scheme iu that way now. Literary Men's Wives. Philadelphia Record ; Curiosity abou the wives of literary men or the bus bands of literary women never dies out so deep-reeled is the impression tha genius or oven moderate talant is unco herd to live with.

Mrs. Laura Holloway has made herself a homo by her literary work , and keeps it a cheery place for her grown son , who looks1 too big to call her mother. Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis , whose short stories arc apt to have a melancholy turn , is a vivacious body , a thorough optomist to all appearance , with a son who has reached man's es tate. She and her husband , L. Clark Davis , of the Philadelphia Inquirer , are a home-loving couple , and there house is full of sunshine. Julian Hawthorne is the best of husbands , and there are seven children in the homo. Cable has half a dozen young folks and a serene homo life. Marion Harland is as nota ble a housewife in fact as on paper , und paints and embroiders with considerable skill. Mrs. Burnett'bent her husband abroad with her earnings to finish his studies as an oculist and the pair arc ono in the devotion to old armor and various antique brio-a-bracand to their two line looking sons. Frank Stock ton's wife is a clever woman , nnd Stevenson's wife has something of a literary reputation of her own. How- ells makes a fresh study of his wife for every one of his heroines , and it is putting the severest test to their do mestic happiness to say that she doesn't resent it.

Silk Astrakhan borders many of the new tailor-made gowns and Jackets. The latter are made much longer than \\w \ Astrakhan- tiimmcd Jackets of last year. A recent work on physical beauty nsscits that the tondcncn In women of the present day is toward smalluess of stature. Uijj women , in fact , nro going out of fashion. When n young lady offers to hem a cambric handkerchief for a rich young bachelor ac quaintance , you can set It down that she means to sew iu order that she may reap.

New York Sun : The weddings in London are certainly totally different from like festivities in America , nnd a marriage in high life is a long cere mony. If there bo any pretension to "swollness" there is a certain amount of music and two hymns are invariably sung. These are printed on gilt-edged white satin nnd placed in the pews , and not only the guests but the bridal party nro nil expected to take part in singing them. Some time before the ceremony is to take place the families and honored guests form in n line on. either side of the aisle through which the bride is to pass , and the bridesmaids stand in the ailso in couples behind the bride until the marriage is finished , when immediately all the wedding party , including the guests of highest rank , repair to the vestry and witness the signing of the parish register by the newly wedded pair , and themselves sign also. After a very smart wedding the other day I went into the vestry room and , through the courtesy of the curate I saw the recently signed register with "Albert Edward , " "Victor" and a host of other swollsas witnesses. The curate who had evidently a very keen sense of the ridiculous , called my attention to the ago of the various brides ns regis tered for years past. The oldest proved to bo twcnty-sovon and the majority nineteen. "I assure you , " said the good looking curate , "plenty of them are much over forty , but where is the woman , oven oa a solemn occasion , who will toll the truth about her own ago. " It is a pretty and usual custom to have a page and maid of honor , generally children , strew flowers before the bride upon her entrance and distribute marri age favors among the guests , such as orange blossoms tied up with white satin ribbons. An immense number of weddings take place each year before 3 o'clock in the day at St. George's , since this is the last hour fixed by the law as proper and legal and this Fs the Pariah church of Belgravia and , in fact , of the dwellers of the court end of aristocratic London.

Davis , from Mount Xion , on this afternoon's train to marry James Fair , a young man aged 24 , employed by Dr. A. S. Waltz of Decatur. The license was procured in duo form , nnd the couple stood up in the ofllco to respond to the usual Interro gations. Fair did so quite readily , but when it came Barbara's turn she calmly replied that she did not love James and would not marry him. The surpribo was too much for Curtis , who tossed the certificate over to the rejected groom and baid that ended the business for him. him.Tho father of thp young lady stepped forward and had a low talk with hia daughter , but she was immovable , and , giving no reasons , left the room and blurted for homo in a wagon with a neighbor. It was learned that Barbara's parents have boon trying to force the marriage for some months. She told a woman that her father .had whipped her a week ago for saying she would not marry Fair. The groom walked off up the btreot , badly disappointed. The father was onrugcd , but ho could do nothing. A Flcklo Sweetheart. San Diego dispatch to the San Fran- cibco Chronicle : Stephen Niclas , an Italian , is proprietor of a restaurant on the corner of Fifth and K streets and jubt at present is mourning the loss of about Bovon hundred ol his good Ameri can dollars and the young lady whom ho was to marry. About six weeks ago a young woman , named Ellen Turner , ar rived in San Diego from Oa ! . ! andwhoro her father is said to be quite well olf. She wont to a friend's houboand boarded thcro until Monday afternoon , BUc baft been hero two or three weeks before she succeeded in obtaining any means of livelihood , but dually blio was engaged as cashier in the restaurant of Niclas. As she was po&bes-c'd of a comely face and llguro it didn't take the Italian long to full in love with the fair girl. IIo then neglected his business while ho paid attention to the girl. From appearances bho rceip- located his affections and the happy day was fixed. In the meantime it oc curred to Stephen that his Ella needed ' omolhing moro than the scanty .salary which ho was paying her. Ho'nccoul - ingly opened his poekctbook , and Ella helped herself. She procured numerous silk dros-es which wore made by n local inedible ; blio bought a diamond , a gold watch and chain , nnd tome other articles of greater or less value. On Monday the prospective bridegroom secured a li- cenbo , and that afternoon they bid each other farewell "for an hour or two , " as Ella said. The latter went directly to the house , and telling her friends 'that &ho was going to move to a room down town where she could be nearer her work , had her trunkb carried away and followed herself. She has not'been seen since and Nielab is disconsolate. Governor Tico Gives n Bride Awny. Richmond ( Va. ) Correspondence : Governor Fits-.hugh Lee appeared this month in the role of giving away a bride on the occasion of the marriage which took plnco at the slate fair grounds on the UGlh. The couple came from Prince Edward , and expect to get a good start in life from the presents they received on the occasion of their marriage on a platform in the presence of thousands. The young lady is rather tall and very fine looking. Her father was a bravo confederate soldier , aud died from a wound which ho received whjlo in ono of the hottest fights in which General Fitzliugh Leo's brigade participated. The young lady asked Maier Vonablo to withhold her name and the name of her intended husband from the public until the day of the marriage took place. It was the wish of the bride-elect that she bo given riway by Governor Loowhom her father worshipped as a soldier aud honored us a citizen. The governor hesitated. The plea was great , in that the girl asked this in her father's name , and her father would have died for Fil/.hugh Leo. "All right , " said the govcrnorand not being able to get around buck un appeal , he consented. Juno and October. New York Journal : "Juno and Oc tober. " This is the rather pleasing way in which Miss Cornelia Van Auken nnd Judge Tromahcero are designated by many poodle who have received in vitations to the wedding.

Van Aukiln would bo charmed to see guests ou the 18th at her homo on Fifth avenuo. About half of these white cards went to friends in England , on the Continent , and in India , where by the way , the judge will tuko his bride to live , but it is expected that the other 1,500 will bo present at the ceremony und the reception to follow. Miss Van Aukcn , who is about twen ty-four , is noted for her intellectual at tainments , and this may account for her bclection of a learned judge for her fu ture partner , rather than any ono of the youth about town , who in past seasons paid her marked attentions. She is not exactly a beauty , but is a very graceful girl with clear cut features , and is quite an accomplished elocu tion ibt as well as a musician. * A. Peculiar Marriage. SAN JOSE , Oct. 20.
