Does u woman like to whistle ?
Of course slio docs. 1 don't bcliovo
there is one who has not tried it with
inoro or less siicccs * . Most woinon try
to learn the accomplishment behind iho
Uiteh on door on the sly , anil would not
bo caught for all the world , because
they Htill stand partly in awe of llioold-
/anlYioncd / Miying : "A whistling girl and
a crowing lion novelcoino to any good
end. ' ' Hut 'tis high time wo discard
this old fojry minorhtition , for in lliisngo
of progress" , when the glH of the period
has adopted her brothor'H mispondcis ,
cravat , soft lelt hat and sh I shirt
what's the mnttor with her coming out
with the bolil avowal that she can and
will whistle If she wants to ? Hc.sidos
whistling has i cached the altitude of a
profession ; has not our fair Ainor-
ican HUlor , Mis. Shaw , whistled hprsolf
into the good graces of all Hnropo ?
There IB a Meshy old.gontlonmn with
gray hair who often piisbcs by , and on !
how that man can wblstlo , mid almost
counl to a full brass band. On a cold
winter's night don't you lilco to moot a
peed nnturod fcl'ow ' with a good nutured
whistle , Iti'epi-'g time , tnno with aBort
Bert of ihvthniio rhynio to the
crunching of tlio snow beneath his
fuel ? The other day when the
writer wns whiBlling "Hurrah 1 for
the rod , white and bluo" the ice man
huddoiily nut in an appearance , and the
big piece of Ice ho was so kind as to
allow us on Hitch a cold day chilled the
surrounding al mosphoio so that it nearly
fnuomy whistle. LJutbCoing the amused
smile on his face , I said lo mytolf :
"That's all right , Mr. Ice Man ; maybe
you thlnlc a woman can't whiptlo. " On
I went with the cond verse , for has
not woman the right to whistle In admi
ration for the colors of her country's
llagV Yes , our country's Hag for wo
women of America never foil the full
glow of patriotism as wo do today when
wo can point with swellinir pride to the
Columbian exposition and the fact that
in that great national jubilee wo aio
equally loeogni/.ud with the men.
But lot us return lo a woman's whistle ,
uhout which there are some peculiar
features. She se-ems to bo always net
ting ready to whistle , sounding only the
preliminary.notcs as it worc.dnuvingtlio
breath in wiion it should bo forced out.
But time will remedy those defects.
The tongue you will liotico regulates
the human whistle to a very larga ex
tent. and no man has ever yet denied
that wo hivvo not a full and complete
use of that organ. Indeed , 1'voheard it
strongly hinted that they as a class believe -
liovo a woman's tongue is the only ex
isting example of porpctunl motion.
,13111 wo are not going to notice a little
elur'lilto that. We are too conscious of
' bill- ability to preserve a golden silence
nvor little and big vexations that would
cause our great laigo brothers to say
awfully naughty words. Hut good
"gr/icions ! why don't homebody write r.
-.new songVMcGinly" was easy to
whistle , so was "Annio Roouoy. " But

American women are very beautiful
'nn'a chui ming , exclaims Ilarpor'-a
"Weekly. They know moro and talk
bettor than any other woman in iho
world , except tholr sifters of Franco.
This olnss and that has been called the
only American aristocracy , and there is
truth underlying the claim of each.
The tramp is un aristocrat because ho
JH an idler. Tlio college boy is an aristo-
eiat because ho hns much leisure for
updrt. The .mny and navy olllcers are
aristocrats because they are the perma
nent rerescntatlvos | of tlio government.
But. after all , the woman of fashion is
the llncst and most charming aristocrat
in U'o ' country. If any one can sit up late
and have plenty of leisure to sleep away
the orowfcot of fatigue , it is she , nut
yet oven ilio baa no right to tempt the
fates after the manner of the Brilisl
inn id and matron. She has more to do.
The demands of our complex t-ocloty
upon the woman of Iho country are
greater and mo 'o exacting than those
made upon the foinii.ino members of i
inoniuvliical aristocracy. Tlio Anicricat :
woman of fashion Is usually pretty
nearly tired enough when she begins to
dress for dinner. Besides , with alt duo
respect to our cousins on the other side
of tlio water , wo do not cnro lo have her
exactly like the Knglish woman.

band of the same bright color , nnd long
siren i no rs loll from tliu yoke at the back.
A train thcro was that was simply over
powering. A gentleman that stood ni-nr inu
measured it with a quick pyo and pro
nounced Its Inngtu thrcu jards. Dear , what
a lot of room it * owner needed ! Slio made
eovoral attempts to hold it up , but oven \vhen
she look bold of tbo very middle u long end
still loll about her , which hho wns helpless
to control. Her rene was very beautifully
trimmed with deep Venetian point.
Hut J wns fully repaid for all the weari
ness of looking and watching that ovonine
when the women bccnn ' to go homo , lor 1
saw two cloaks that'woro most magnificent.
They were fresh from I'uns , I could sco at a
glanco.
TunIrst / ono was of pure white cloth , and
hung ever a roio-coloreil gown that had a
crush velvet Kinnlro bolt of pink , a deeper
shnilo. The cloak was u double nelcibie , the
llr.st cape hanging ihreo-cjuarlor length , itnd
edged with Russian sable , the second vorv
much shorter , edged tlio s.uno. From the
neck foil a very narrow rutllo of the cloth ,
both headed anil edged with fur ; nnd thu
fur of tuo ho.uilng wont down inside thu
mantle as well , for a few Inches , BO ( bat It
was wnrm and close at the throat. The lin
ing ivas whlto taffeta , .shot with palo roses.
The other wns very Oitloionl. Jt wns of n
beautiful \\ator-grecn brocade , wlili loaf
sprays ouilincd in gild. The clonk , which
fall Co Iho feat , bouinoil lo bo made of but
four straight pieces. Two were
narrow and formed iho front , moot
ing in the center. The other Vwo
were much wider nnd formed the back , the
sides and the sleeves. At the bark tlio openIng -
Ing WHS far up , so that the dross train hud
plenty of room to sweep out. Hut where
those'pieces touched thn front breadths the ;
fell altogether loose , and apt rt , to that tuo.v
were liku long sleeves. A pretty i'miig ' of
whlto quilted silkbbowed mono sldo , nnd u
polntnd voke of rich green velvet was edged
by t , wluo berlhu of fine gulpuro. An im-
moiifo rolling collar , also of gulnure , stood
UP above tbo lady's oars ,
CntcliliiK C'iilHiirc .
How did these dames lix their hair , do you
ask' Not very much out of the ordinary.
Most all of them high , or semi-high , with
diamond or llower bands lying around inu
coils , with pretty aigrettes or ( lowers or high
nariaw satin bows standing up from thu
twists , with porham loss waving locks and
moro smooth uUinlng ones , bomo of the
dainty hair ornaments worn now nro veri
protty. They often convert un ordinary
t'oilTuro Into a icinarkahly pretty one- ,
with their fanciful shapes. Ono that I s-uv
WHS particularly nroity.t had a line bead
of gold for a loucduiion and at the center a
bird perched with outstretched wing ! , ull la
dull gold.
Taluli.g of bnad ornamentation reminds
mo of huud rovonug. Ju t think of It' ' The
restoration of thu style of 1S3D hat gene oven
so far as the hat. ' Keliold a bonnet with bigb
brlnt standing up away from tbo fuca with
sides closclv drawn over the oars by strings
that tlo under the chin. How do you thin !
you look In It i ( Do you think you 111(0 it i If
you linvo a swoutefitco with a pretty , demure
mnulb It may tic tuo verv thing that will suit
you. Tbo only uno I tmvo so far had the
pli-usuro of seeiuK U of palo gray felt , bus a
gathered rose-colored lining on tbo wide
front biloi , ho-s JjUcl ; standing plumes In
ftyint and black airings. Stran'r'0 to iay , it
isn't at all ' ucVr , Nar , to bu still more
candid , I ft'inll Lave to confess that 1 like it ,
lliat I think it very preity.
