THE CIGARETTE MANIA IN ENGLAND ntntrltnnnl.il dinner * Itrdticrd In Tomfoolery of l.iurnmkcru ItnlnlitMr Ilrlltlancy of Spring Slyloi Have you among your acquaintances ono particular Individual of the feminine gender who knows it all ? Of coin-so you have , for her kind abounds in wholesale quantities , nnd your circle would have to bo very restricted if you did not hap- peii to meet once in a while ono of this disagreeable species. The strange part about it is that the woman who thinks she knows It nilsays the Philadelphia Times , is generally the ono least informed on the subject she i-hoos.es to debate upon. Thnad who nro really competent to give nil vice and state opinions are usually silent unless their Hentlmetits are absolutely drugged out of thembut the woman who knows it all according to her own estimate airs her views with a lavish ness that makes yon long to slap her , if such an action were permissible. .She riles you continually , she never rubs yon the right way , and if she says a thing is black you are posnes ed with a desire to swear that It is white , even though you know for once she is right , and that black is black. She poses as nn authority on fashion , religion , hoeial laws and customs , tlio rules of card playing und thoseiont-oof housekeeping. If you touch on theosophy she is right with you , ready to correct any state ment you may make. If you dabble in the intricacies of politics she can give you points on the tariffor the silver hill , und so Impresses yau with your own in finitesimal knowledge of things in gen eral that before long you actually hate - the sight of her. She is not popular , tlio woman who knows it all , and unless she once in a while will admit an error 'or allow a correction such a ono is certain to narrow the circle of her acquaint ances to those very few unfortunates who cannot by any possibility get away from her. * * It is confessed nt last that cigarette smoking is. a recognized indulgence in many ladies' boudoirs of England. The habit has become so general , says n corth respondent of the New York Sun , that the present season has witnessed an 'oven bolder innovation at several fashhr iomiblo dinner . " ' ' parties. "Ladies' cigar"t etto's" have been served with the gentleHI men's cigarettes or cigars. For several months the sale of ladies' cigarettes by tobacconists has been a recognized branch of trade. Although tlio habit has been increasing for several years , it is less than a year since the small , mild , gold tipped little cylinders , openlyv marked and sold as "Indies' cigarettes , " have been on the market. A society journal which recently accused the emdi press of Russia and Princess Maud , the daughter of the prince of Wales , of belli" leaders in the cultivation of the fi'miC nine appetite for nicotine has been nnrebuked. Princess Maud has n defender this week in the proprietor of n Piccadilly cigar store , who may bo described as court tobacconist. lie t declares that Princess Maud does not Btnoke , adding , significantly , that ho would bo pretty sure to know if she did. IIo says , however , that ho knows plenty of society women who do , including at least ono princess. It was an oxaggerat tion , he explained , to say that it hat beii come the rule of high society to uorvo the ladies with cigarettes after dinner , It was not yet common for ladies to smoke in the company of mon , but there .had been an astonishing increase within a few months in the consumption of ladies' cigarettes. Ordinary observation confirms this Htatoment. Returning from Paris by the Club train the ether day , I noticed that two of a half-dozen ladies in the dining car smoked cigarettes with their coffee. * * Statistics show that a low of chances governs in the vast majority of cases the ages nt which men marry who are engaged - gaged in certain occupations. Workt mon and artisans take unto themselves wives at an earlier ago than those whoso vocations are of a moro intellectual kind. Thus , miners , textile factory hands , laborers and artisans marry at in average of 22 years. Of those , to minors arc llrst in the Hold , more than JOO of every 1,000 of them securing wives before they have become of ago. Workers in textile fabrics run them close ; then como shoemakers and tailors , nnd they are followed by artisans and > laborers. Farmers and farmers' sons consider 25 early enough. Commercial clerks seek the 111y pleasures of matrimony at 20. Shopkeepers and shopmen postt , pone the rapture a little while longer. Professional men and gentlemen of independent means rarely cure to encumber themselves even with so delightful a burden as esn wife until they have toed the line of over IIO years. Though the rich marry at a moro ripe ago than the working fraternity , they continue marrying until long after the last named hrivo ceased to wed. Whereas fourteen minors and twenty-five artisans in every 1,000 marry between the asros of 35 and 40 , nearly 100 of the professional and indoixjiident class do. It is explained in this way : The rich like to see something of the i world and its pleasures before Fettling down to sober matrimony. A laborer has neither doslre nor opportunity for it. When he has a house of his own , nnd a wife to look after it for him , ho lias attained , perhaps , to the height of his ambition. It is said a man is neither physically nor mentally mature until he Is 30 ; nnd if this Is true , it stands to reason a man nt that ago should bo bet- Jcr ' fitted for the duties of a husband and 'athar than a stripling of 21. * The passive style of girl , the very girl about whom ether girls can see no at traction , is the kind that is almost dangerous. She hns a way of just fold ing her hands , standing still and looking at n man out of half-closed eyes that makes him feel awfully queer. Some how she can do more just standing still ! than the jumpy girl can do getting all over the placo. There is something ng about her passlvenoas that Is inllumma- tory , as it wore. A man gets a crazy desire to see what the will bo like when " "roused " ; " and then , instead of "rousing" herbegets "roused" himself , and there is the devil to pay , and It t Is the man that pays and not the placid girl. She is as placid when have you IVO done with your flirting us she was at llrst. And you n-jver are really sure whether she knows that you , tried to kiss her or not. It is this doubt that makes it so likely that you take ono or two moro plunges at the same girl. That Is why these placid girls are irl.bO dangerous and expensive. But it's never any good. She looks at you with those jleopy , quiet eyes , und you are us far oft u ever. There Is another kind of placid girl. She IsJiot likely to bt > quite such a dan gerous one as the kind that looks at you. This ether kind hns n way of not BoomKali | ing to know that you are there nt nil. I She will fttand nnd look out of n window nnd Hoenuw nbsenHnlndcd and oblivious of you in If you wore her maid ; and no | matter how hard you try to get yourself attracted by the girl whoisbrcaftlnghor nuck to fnxclnnto you , that quiet llguro over thnro keeps n-drnwing and n-drnw- Ing , nnd you might as well give up llrst ns last. This sort of girl is often not a placid n'Tsho seems nt least aho keeps lending you on to think she isn't. i\mong the fnvorito occupations of the modern woman who earns her own liv ing is supposed to bo that of newspaper work. Some have estimated that there are several thousand women engaged in active journalism. This estimate is ridiculous on the face of It. That owti- mate would probablj more than cover all the men engaged in ] ou"iiallsni in the United States. There arc said to bo in fact less than 2TK ) women journalists. At. least that Is the statement of n recent authority , Elizabeth C. Jordan , in Lip- plncott'B. "There Is a distinction , " writes Miss Jordan , "between newspaper writing and writing for the newspapers , nnd the voting lady who 'does a little space work' In tlio intervals of her social or business engagements was not considered in the compilation of these statistics. The 2.10 writers who have been considered are newspaper women in the best bouse of the word. They hold stall positions on journals of good standing or they have had experience which ( its them for such positions ; they have learned to recognize news when they hear it , and they know how to present It to the pub lic in the most attractive form ; they can judge of its comparative value and the amount of space it should bo given in a newspaper ; they can edit their own copy If necessary ; they know something about a composing room and can distinguish between a form and n piece of typo ; they have learned why it is not a sheer waste of material to write on but ono side of their paper ; they know that a news paper olllco ! ? not a drawing room , und that they cannot expect drawing-room manners in it ; they have learned that the highest compliment an editor can pay his woman associate is to treat her as if she were a man , promptly repri manding her on n blunder and giving her a word of praise for good work if ho happens to think of it. * * Rod haired blontloj are rather rare. The Indians worship red haired people , regarding them in the light of children of the sun. There have been poets who have gone into raptures over red hair , and called it "sun kissed. " According to a legend of old , tho'dcvil , who tempted the pious hermit in the desert , appeared unto him in the form of n woman "clothed in a veil of the darkest red hair , " which , us wo nro informed , "turned nnd twisted around her bosom like biiukes of copper. " The moral of this story for all stories must have a moral is that red haired beauty is the most dangerously seductive of any , for his satanic majesty would not assume such a hirsute covering wore it not that ho considered it the most captivating web of all others in which to Inveigle the soul of man. In this case , however , ho egregiously failed to accomplish his dark design , for the hermit refused to bo smitten by the fascination of the tempt ing siren who had crossed his path. Curiously enough , though red hair is und has been symbolic of intense passion and : cruelty , it is also emblematic of the most Innocent purity. It is u color in which opposing extremes bcem to meet und blend. * * The American natio.n exhibits in its heterogeneous character the results of this divinely directed law , without the operations of which all other means toward the development of a common impulse of patriotism would bo hindered and crippled , writes John Lambert Payne in an article on "The Secret of Happy Marriages" \ in the March Ladies' Homo Journal.aAn appeal to statistical facts is bore opportune. By reference to the cen sus returns of 1881 those for 1891 being unfinished ; it will bo seen that there wore then living in the United States 57U.434 persons having native fathers and foreign mothers , and 1,237,604 who had 1 native mothers and foreign fathers. These figures , while clearly establishing the fact that I had just indicated , also show the nature of the intermarriages which bad taken place up to that time. It was n significant thing that the allini- ties formed between foreign mon nnd na tive women were considerable more than those between native men nnd foreign women. * * * The pluckiest school teacher in Conr neoticut , nnd as pretty a9 she is bravo , is Miss 1 Elllo Walcott of Nowtown. She teaches a small district school in Land's End , two miles from the Hawloysvilje station on the Hou&atonic railroad. She lives 1 in Newtown and goes to Hawloys- villo on the train every morning. On ! Wednesday , the day of the recent bliz zard , she found that there would be 210 train t , owing to the road being blockaded with \ snow. Wrapping her cloak closely about her , pinning her skirt up to the height 1 of her knees , with a pair of rub ber 1 boots on her feet , she started bat and t walked the Uistaneo from Nowtown to I Ilawloysville , a little over ten miles , and i then to the school house , two miles further on. She buffered no incon- vonieiico from the remarkable walk , and won the hearts of the dlbtrict committee by her plucky exhibition of endurance. t * A pretty story is told of Mrs. Morton's tact nnd courtesy , quite equal 1 to the i'sa dition of the Lady Washington's crush ing a teacup on purpose to" relieve the embarrassment of the guest who had in advertently broken ono of her eggshell cups in his largo and carulcss hand. Mrs. Merion has n sot of exquisitely iyu painted doylies from the atelier of a noted Paris artist. Ono of her political dinner guests after dipping bis lingers in the bowl , drew out the priceless lilmy square and crushed it into n ball , trying to dry his hands as ho talked learnedly \ with his hostess. Mrs. Morton smiled with a serenity for which It is hoped the recording ungol will give her credit , nnd said : "Such flimsy doylies are useless lot mo give you another but you know it's the fush- Ion. " And the greatful politician ac cepted the napkin and never know his mistake. * * Children's frccks nearly all savor of the Empire stylo. In fact , they are re productions in many instances of the older costumes , A dancing school costume for a young miss of eight was i a fitted blip of torquoiso blue silk , cut square in the neck and filled in with lUta drawn guimpo of chllTon or muslin. From the low neck falls n loose Empire tunic of white guuzo or chitTon , quite like the dinner droancr ; of the elder bis ters , veiling the costume , the only differ ence being in length. The sleeves nro long nnd full to the wristc with a chitTon covering nnd white shoulder frills nnd u profusion of blue ribbon bows und sash ends. The dresses ns a rule are shorter in the skirt , almost to the knees in girls of 0 or 8 , being moro in the l-Yeneh and English style. Double bkirts are seen oven on the e diminutive costumes , and shoulder frills und capes imitating the elders. * The princess of Hawaii , who is in this country pleading for her throne , wns christened Victoria Kawoklu Kaiulani [ Ivalnnlnulnbilnpnlnpn rioghorn. Her father , Archibald Scott Oleghorn , was n native of Scotland nnd wni Hawaiian receiver-general of customs when Queen Lilluakamnl was deposed. Her mother , now dead , was the Princess Like Llko , nnd sister of the Into King Knluknun. The princess is in her 18Mi yenr. is tall and blonder , hns a dark complexion , soft brown eyes nnd features titnt suggest just a suspicion of Kanaka origin. Up to the recent revolution nt Honolulu , Knlulnni was but n school girl nt Southport - port , England. She had gone In for everything usual with English school girls , nnd Iwcomo , so far as English training nnd sentiment go , nn English girl. * * Those legislators who nro making fools of themselves by introducing bills to prohibit the wearing of crinollno know nothing of the force of fashion and the nature of women. American ladies nro us sensible as they nro beautiful nnd cnn bo safely trusted to regulate their costumes to suit themselves , being ns- Htired In advance that they will always suit American men. It is their ijrovl- dential peculiarity that they look lovely In anything clinging skirts , wide skirts , poke bonnets , Hat bonnets , soft laces , men's shirt fronts , no matter what , so long as tbo sweet face smiles above and the tiny boot peeps out beneath. If wo have to enlarge our doors , stages , cars and sidewalks so as to accommodate the Indies who want to walk about in crinollno cages , that will bo a small price to pay for the privilege of pleasing the fair women who are the sunshine of our lives nnd give us an angelic foretaste of heaven hero below. Such n bewildering display ns the now spring goods make. Wns there over such a variety , such a wealth of choice ? In a single store may bo noted among the new productions an almost countless variety of fancy silks. There are pompa dour , "satin damasseo , broche tollo do solo , satin do chinos in seeded designs , taiTota rayo , Pekin oinber , satin duohcsso , washable surahs , habuntani bongallne , muscovitc , armuro futile nnd quite a novelty , paillot do sole. This is not all by any means'but so hjgh Hound ing are the names of now fabrics that it is impossible to learn them nil. All those varieties appear in as many differ ent colors , the newest being the opal , rol , aloes , platina , ccrisotteandsalnmbo. The Ophelia tints are pointed out ns most desirable , side of which are shown two ether now tints known ns coqucl and prolate. Etamines , hernanis , pointilles and diagonals are common terms in now dress fabrics. * * Among the many characteristic stories told of Worth's methods in creating his surprises there is ono of a commission ho received for a fancy gown which n great Iwllo desired to have absolutely unique. The great man spent the night consulting with his collaborate- ! ! the idea refused to materialize. Weary with their fruitless toil , the three ar tists stepped out on a balcony to rcbt and forgot their disappointment in n cigarette. "Volla ! it is the dawn. " said ono. "Ciol ! it is the dress , " cried Worth , and "Dawn , " with its subtle harmonics of gray and violet nnd rose shot through with gold , was the success of the ball. * * Miss Louise Imogen Guiney , who is creating quite n bonsution as a play wright , is a Boston girl and received her education in a convent. She is ono of the youngest and brightest writers engaged in literary woVk today , possess ing great intellectual ability and uncom mon scholarship. She is n daughter of the late General Patrick Guinoy and in herits her literary talents from her father , who was n man of parts. In ap pearance Miss Guiney is more scholarly than beautiful. She is earnest nnd sym pathetic in manner and lias n low soft voice , n valuable trnit in woman. Miss Guiney's translation of "Tho Crust of Society" is making a tremendous hit. She also has an original play on the Boston boards which brings her a splen did income. * "Attend all ye who list to hear , " cries the Now York Sun.The consensus of conservative opinion justifies the order ing of the spring gown without a hoop. What the summer will bring forth no seordnres foretell. The cholera and the crinoline are both imminent and for the latter there is no quarantine. While emancipated womanhood agitates its right to manipulate the affairs of. state man legislators in the parliament of fashion formulate the laws governing the hoop and its reign. It is said that Pattl'small exceeds that of a cabinet minister , and that a great number of her correspondents seem to have the idea that Craig-y-Nos was in tended for a foundling asylum , and that the diva's chief mission in life ia to 1111 it with cradles. All sorts nnd conditions of babies are offered to her. Every In fant prodigy that over lisped ' * Homo , Sweet Home ; " babies with black hair and bnbios with blonde locks ; babies with blue orbs and babies with eyes as dark as the diva's Imvo boon generously offered her , until , if she had taken but half of them , she would bo tjfllclating in the capacity of matron of a children's home. * A very binart way of dressing the halt- is the tight little wad directly in the back of the head. This has a center ns smooth ns satin , and is bound around with a smooth or plaited roll of hnir. It is the sort of hair ono would arrange for riding , knowing that there would bo no danger of escapement. It is a very knowing wort of coiffure , justns last year was the smooth , tightly-braided , but larger coils , that occupied the same position , but not strictly becoming. There have been tendencies toward tbo revival of the Cndognn braid. This is a braid started high at the back of the head , carried down to the nape of the neck und turned under , whore it is fastened by a bow of ribbon or an orna mental clasp. This is especially becom ing to young girls. Nottn. Purple and violet gauze veils are hoed very newest stylo. Ribbon rosettes of gold and colored enamels tire mounted on large shell hair pins. Women wear as many rings on their fingers as they can. Rings are u perfect frenzy. A jo"vcl fastened on the forehead by a gold wire is worn by Londonsociety women- Evening silks show a variety of opales cent effects. Satin ribbon is popular as a trimming material. Ribbons , particularly in satin faced velvet nnd gros grain , were never more ) stylish for trimming on gowns. It would bo almost worth while to have crinollno coma in order to see how the bicycle girl grasps the situation. Long coats with full skirts to the knees of black satin will bo among the favorite street wraps this winter. New Huts have fairly wide brims , and nro pinched up , rolled up , twisted up and turned up in every imaginable ) shape. Most of the dresses that are now being made have , no darts at the top of the , the fullness being gathered into the waist band. Corselets are as fashionable as over , and they are made ot all kinds of ma- 'torlnlswool , Bilk , vrJvot , broca le , em broidery and lace.v Dainty ombrolde'i-y is the dUtlnetlvo feature of new Parr * lingerie.

Plumotld. a Frcnchrdottod Swiss , with tinted designs , is .QUO of the dainty things sure tl form atleast , ono gown in the wardrobe of the wmitnor girl. The return of tho'sn'nwl Is pronhceicd. A suggestion of It 1ms appeared in long scarfs of lace or velvet , that unclrclo the shoulders and hung to the foot of the gewn. The long shoulder scums of the 1830 styles do not meet with much favor , but the skirts very full around the bottom nqo making their way toward moro gen eral recognition. A now bonnet hns nn enormously high poke front. The sides come down well toward the curs , nnd there is a pro nounced cape , which is evidently the forerunner 'of the old-fnshioiied gypsy bonnet. A now dress for n girl is in prlncesso shnpe , with full sleeves , shirred cuffs und bands of trimming from shoulder- scums to the hem of the skirt in front. This is n one-piece suit , nnd appropriate for a girl of ( i to 0 years. A pretty trimming and ono that 1st quite now for a ball dross consists of nar row gatin ribbon crossed to form a deep lattice work , while at each intersection is n liny flower or bow. This ornamenta tion is pretty in colors over white. A pretty and stylish evening dress has a trimming of a twelve-inch flounce of lace headed with three pulls of soft silk ; another has three ruffles sot a little dis tance apart , each one headed with n nnrrow riobon tied in knots nt interval ) ) of n couple of inches. Chtillies , printed muslins , fancy China silks and flowered and dotted siuahs will , as n rule , be accompanied by harmonizing plain fabrics , which will be used for puffed sleeves , capo collnrs , rovers , folded bolts , rullles and ether decorative adjuncts. Gathered , notched , plaited and plain brotelles appear upon very ninny of the simply made spring dresses of medium weight fabrics. The gathered bretellcs impart the revived sloping effect to the shoulders ; the plain bretollos are some what narrower , yet they give breadth to the ! shoulders and slenderness to the waist. WiA Square lace collars in the Anne of Austria style arc worn on children's dresses as well as being the latest ad junct of a grown up dinner costume. A pretty ! little evening dress for a young girl 1 of ft Is a straight Wutteuu costume hanging in folds from the shoulders to the knees and gathered or smocked around the neck , leaving a self-heading as n neck finish. , ; i A novelty bonnet h'as a round crown , not unlike that of ii Htmill , turban , mid a brim of velvet or sirf made on ribbon wire or other fine wire and laid in side plaits.

They canJw / shaped to the face and made to produces almost any effect desired. Many of the ne\v" pocketbooks are made largo enough jof.hold a handker chief , as well as a fow.cardsand money , us few dresses are Ijiide with pockets. The most favored areViho morocco books of all tints , from cream and pearl-white , gray and tan ta match tho'gown , Rus sian blue , dark bWio and very brilliant red. Card cases come , to match the portraonnaie , yet It is a convenience to have both in ono. . All borts of blossoms are made in vel vet in fac-similo of nature and their edges tipped with glittering frost parti cles. Quills in plain or shaded colors are greatly used. Gold sequins nro used In evening dress trimming as fringes or spangles , and n charming bonnet made of overlapping gold 'spangles was seen. The entire bonnet was composed of this solid "coat of mall" in spangles and had for ornament only some rosettes of black satin and a bunch of small plumes and black velvet strings.
