My hum bio ndvico , however , to beauty , is to let cigars alone. Primarily , the odor of tobacco about a M Oman's gown or laces is vulgar , and , on her hands and lips , It is s.iurllego.

Lunch parties , a reception or two and tha Young Men's Ctiiistian association con vention kept many Indies away fiom Mrs. Jciinebs-Mlllor'a lecture , Friday afternoon. 'The natnuot was quite well llllcd , however , when a lady canto out on the stage , moved a red velvet chair several inches , tried ono of the doors painted on Iho put lor scene , which was Bet upon the stuse , ana finally intro duced Mrs. Jonncss-Millcr. Of course thu lecture was upon the subject of ilic H u toplo that never fails to Interest women but the audioimo paid moio atten tion to the lectuier's ' plush gown than It did to her sensible word * . The gown was really u verv satisfactory creation of the modiste's art and it was ho picturesque that every woman btrnightxvny decided to 1m vu at least oao cos- tlinio exnctly likeIt. . Mrs. .Icnncss-Miller began her lecture by Rpcuklng of stout women , und she was not at all complimentary to her sisters overbur dened u tthtoo , too solid flesh. " Then she turned her attention to the lean women with prominent collar bone. The lecturer's gown wa cut BO that it displayed u white throat and therefore she was very severe In dealing with tier less fortunuto sisters. The dross reform pnradu was the most In teresting part of tha lecture , Street suits , n tea gown und a ball drebs were tried ou In rapid succession. They woio all pretty anil they weru likewisenow. . When the question ol undergarments was Jlnnlly touched the spectators wore destined to disappointment. Mrs. Jcnucss < Miller Bald that the stagewu too cold to poimithor to show tlie union underwear und divided skirts in nctivu uso. Uosidcs 11 wild -eyed young man , attached to thu opera holme , insisted upon appearing at tha door every ten minutes. Therefore the leader of tha dies * reform movement merely ex hibited oomu pongee garments that had no particular form or shupoliness. When the luatuio was concluded even1 ono had u rod nose , but there uns u dnm't boll drill , given by Miss Anderson' * physica culture clusn , which wus so lively that 1 jnnJo the spectators warm to look at it.

The autumn house cleaning brings with all it bothersome caio und many a touch of humor that makes the whole world grin. A yonug married woman the other day , be ginning the annual scrubbing time accord ing to lulc , found that "tho cellar should bo the lit st consideration , and to insure good health the walls should no whitewashed. " Itcasonlng by the law ot incongruity , that nil negroes are caually skillful in putting this chat liable coat over a multitude ofdls- ciopanclcs , she called in nn old retainer mid bade him begin. Later she was drawn to the cellar by the most dismal and appalling moans and groans , lltirr.vine to the door and throwintr U open she stood transfixed bv the sight that met her eyes , only to shriek with laughter when the whole meaning dawned upon hfcr mind. A metamorphosis from a full-bloodca nogto to something surpassing the staring whiteness of Hutnuty IJumptv stood on a shaky scaffolding in themlddlp of the room xrlth Ills calcimine , oh , horror of horrors , in her spick , span new coal bucket. The sunny whistling creature of an hour before had mcnnwhilo ceased gro.inlng , und with nn ef fort marked by various cracks and crevices In his pasty features , ho managed to uj icu- late : "Missis , I want 'jou to understan' , dls hero is do las' whitowushlu' dls niccah ' 1 over do I1' ' And ho proceeded to dip his brush in the thin mixturn , turning his face upward with closed oycs , and slapping the stuff on , with thu result , that two-thirds poured back upon him , drying directlv , und leaving him litor- crally with a cwst of countenance , nnd the ceiling broken out in spots. It is unnecessary to say ho was dissuaded from continuing , and went homo much ci cat- fallen over his unsuccessful attempt. / \ Swell Litinoltpnn. Now and then In the gitrdcn of 11 fo we get that special bite out of the sunny side of a pcaili , nnd the women who sat down to luncheon with Sirs.
