TTTR n\TAUA TU7TV .HTT.V GOSSIP FOR WOMAN'S ' EAR How One of the Sex Was Stabbed by Suspi- cion and Flayed Alive by Sneora , THE SAMPLER'S ' TASK NOT A HAPPY ONE Onlt ot the OlcliljOlriTtnpi nt ITrflpper * \VImt Men I.lko Itcul In tlio 1'nlr Sex llrail IHcM of Ac- trcMoi Odd NuUf. "Therol" fmld Mrs. Van Klovvor , throwing a handful of bright colored pieces into Miss Do Korus1 lap. "Tako thonil" "Why , Katharine ! " exclaimed Mls3 Do Korus in a shocked and reproachful tone. "Don't ' Katharine ! ' to " fray 'Why , mo , responded Mrs. Van Klovvcr , pulling her glove off insldo out , and looking very fierce. "Sco hero , do you bcllovo in the martyrs ? " The above convocation was caught by n writer on the Now York Sun , who con tinues : Miss Do Korus looked more shocked. "My dear , " pursued Mrs. Van Klovver , "I nm ready for canoni/.ation , and you , Miss Do KoritH , nro the cause. I have been shriveled up by glances of burn ing Bcorn ; I have been stabbed by sus picion ; I have been flayed nlivo by fiiieora , and I haven't a doubt that I'm all in mincu meat now Irom the way I have been pulled to pieces by a horde of ravening clerks. " "May I ask yon to explain ? " asked Miss Do Korus stiffly. "I am 'Javld and Jonathan and Damon nnd Pythian botlcd down into one , " Mrs. Van Klovvcr wont on unhcedingly. "I , Miss Do Korus , am that rare bird , a true frlondl" There was a pause and then they both laughed. "You see , " resumed Mrs. Van Klov- ver , "it was all because of the mythical Sho. I don't think I over ran across many more of her than I found today. Don't look so puzzed , my dear ; you have often hoard of the hidy yourself. Oh , yes , you have ! She Is always vouched for by a woman , something after this fashion : " 'May I sco that plcco of goods , please1 ' 'Clerk shows the goods. " 'Ah , ycsl'.saya the customer. Then she turns to a friend with her. 'Do ' you think she would like this ? " Turning to olork again. 'It's not for myself. It's for a friend.1 "Do you recognize my mythical 'She' now ? " Miss -Do Korus laughed. "Well , " said Mrs. Van Klovvor , "there were legions of her today. At every counter her : ghostly presence was all-pervading. At first 1 wasn't aware of it , and when I asked for n sample it fl _ was with that extra touch of dignity V mid conscious wortli which wo always assume when the object is samples. Of course , I prefaced my request with the remark that 'a friend' wished mo to got a plcco from which she could order , for no woman will shoulder the ignominy of Bo'curlng samples for herself , if , in reality , they are for some ono else. Very fowj in fact , as you know , nro willIng - Ing to assume the responsibility any wnynnd , so the mythical She has sprung up and flourishld like a green bay tree. "As I glanced with the regular sample net hauteur at the clerk who gave mo thnt rod piece there , I behold something which froze the marrow in my bones. The youth was engaged in exchanging knowing winks with the nearest sales man ! And , upon my word , the nbarost salesman was , in his turn , bestowing a blue sample on n very disagreeable look ing woman who said she was quite sure her 'friend' would like It. "At the next plnco I thought I would bo bravo and omit my remark that the sa'mplo was not for me , but the clerk , who was shockingly rude , said with a sneer : " 'Not for yourself , I suppose. For a friend ? ' " 'YcH , ' I replied so emphatically that ho almost cut through three widths. "Tho others I gained only after a sort of council of war between the floor walker nnd clerks , in the course of which I was called on to mnko nIHdnvit as to my ngo , plnco of residence , and BO on. " "Katharine ! " paid Miss Do Korus. "Oh , yes. I know that is a trifle over drawn , but it its a reflection of my feol- - , ings. And now , if you have any favors C to , "kof me , let them bo simple ones. / - Let mo lie down and ho trampled upon , or lot mo walk weary miles for you , or lot m6 go' through lire and water for you , but don't ask mo to bo burned , Blubbed , flayed alive and reduced to mincemeat all at one fell swoop through trying to fcccuro you ( samples at the dry goods counters. " * Everybody has eeen the giddy girl In her varied plumage of bubbling ostenta ( tion.On On the street her very walk , a some thing between a pitching gait and a mincing strut , marks her ns deficient in Eonsc : in the curs she IB the observed of all observers , particularly if she is obliged to stand. There , seems to bo no center of gravity In her makeup ; she sways with every motion of the car , doubtless acting out a conception of the Illy nodding ou its fra gile stem. Her mood before the public is generally - ally of the volatile , sunshiny order , but she has a reserve force for sentimental moments , and is equally aggarvutlng and dibcrcdltubleln either rolo. Her giggles , her glances , her loud- voiced remarks replete with emptiness of intellect , are simply maddening ; who revels In driving rational women to the verge of frenzy nnd then attributes their condition to jealousy of her superior charms. No reproof can quiet her , no insult even penetrates the shield armor of her vanity. In a ten minutes' ride you got ac quainted with all her accomplishments , the Christian mimes of her numoroua admirers , the many compliments paid her , the shortcomings of her feminine friends and their perfidious efforts to supplant her In Frank's growing ull'eo- tion or Charlie's passionate lovo. Every rjug ( and she generally wears a lot of them ) represents a conquest , a troiihy prudently kept after the giver had been discarded' heart-broken , of courto. Even the watch she wears dangling outside is boasted of as a token of regard ; she doesn't consider her self- respect too big a price to have paid for the bauble. * * If the average man had his way there rt" IB little doubt that the wearing of wrup- A pers by hlu wife In his august presence would bo a legal cause of divorce. Ho cherishes toward tho'so harmless , neces sary garments u sort of personal spite. If ho comes homo u little curly in the afternoon and finds the sharer of his Borrows etlll clad In her morning lisP per ho grows almost vituperative. Plo asks Mary why on earth she wears thot-o Blovonly things , inquires if nho ever * sees Mrs , So-and-so similarily attired. " * and abjures her at any rate not to offend " A " hit ) fabtidlous eye with the sight of one , "even though it may bo nccc fcary for hero \o don it when ho iu not around. All of whlch.Mxye ono of the Rentiers ox. through the columns of the Now York , World Is highly unreasonable of the average man. man.Thcro Is nothing BO cool and nlto- gethor t comfortable as n wrapper. It is loose nnd the air circulates freely Inside It.on In It the tired woman dares drop onto ) the lounge or Into the hammock with the utter disregard of creases. In it she docs not hesitate to kneel over hoi flower bed ; It doesn't matter If a wrapper is stained with earth. In it she docs not object to lending a hand In tin kitchen , beating eggs or rinsing the clothes through the blue water. No wonder she Is ns devoted to the wrapper as her lord and master is averse < to it. avE Still she owes something to htm nnd towi her houBcho'd generally. She can win : them all to her view of the case provided only thnt she takes the proper precautions. She should not hope to win favor for her beloved garment If she puts ono on Monany morning and wears It until Saturday night. Lot her have a fresh , clean ono for every day. , Lot It have a neat collar , nnd lot the full sleeves be gathered Into a neat shirt culT. A rilfllo about the bottom and a frill ! about the yoke will not add much to the cost or the Inbor of "doing up , " but they will prove a powerful aid to conjugal felicity. Percales , with fine stripes In black , red , blue nnd brown , or with little dots nnd spriirs adorning their white ground , cnn bo bought for 10 nnd 12cents a yard. They do not fade , nnd Inut two or three vcnrs. For $0 nny woman can provide Iiorsclf with six dainty wrappers with which to reconcile her husband to that negligee style of attire. She can bo cool , comfortable and comely In them , If only she dons n fresh ono each mornIng - Ing , and never by any chance forgets her bolt ! What men llKo best in the opposite sex Is that indefinable attraction called womanliness , which makes up for the lack of beauty and other attractions. But U takes a great many virtues to make up this womanliness. Men like amiability in woman , they like a pleas ant , cheerful face , the courtesy of the fireside. They like mothorllness largo enough to include the wants of the older as well as the younger boya They like a woman who can talk , but also understands the virtue of silence. ' * They like a disposition to speak good rather than ill of every human being. They like sympathy , which means a willing ear to a tale of sorrow or of glad ness. They like intelligence , but they prefer that her heart should bo stronger than her brain. They like women whoso minds nnd faces are always full of the sunshine of a contented mind' und a cheerful disposition. They like a woman to possess n knowledge of how to dress well , which doesn't mean conspicuously. They like a companion a woman who has sulllciont knowledge of the world nnd its ways to talk well with them , who can become interested in their plans and hopes , nnd can give a chopring word or intelligent and sympathetic hearing. A man shrinks from a woman who openly declares that she hates children and considers them a bore and nuisance. no expects the maternal Instinct to bo present in all good women , and he is dis appointed if ho finds no evidence of its existence. There was never a man llvlncr , no mat ter how stern , how cold , how repressive of his own feelings , who did not like some demonstration of nffection from the woman nearest and dearest to him , nnd thuroforo they like affectionate women. These are a few ( ? ) of the miiny virtues a man loves and expects to find in the woman ho cares for. * # * Actresses have the best kept heads of hair In the world. They are absolutely clean nnd healthy , and their tresses are invariably short. Shoulder length is the rule. Ellen Terry wouldn't bother with a useless mane , as'sho expresses it. There is always a'pair of scissors on her d rcssing table , which she uses almost as often as she docs the comb. She never keeps enough hair to roll. It is drawn up to the crown of her head , twisted rope fashion , and secured with a couple ] of pins , nnd then the ends are pulled out , resembling the tuft of a carrot. The great Bornhardt has no use for long hair. Lotto , has a shock of brlndlo brown hair that grows in loose ringlets , and looks like bronze when it is brushed. It is naturally thick , und she keeps It short. Lillian Russell , Ros- ina Yokes , Maud Harrison , Marie Tem pest and a host of other footlight favor ites who have made money and won suc cess never have any more hair than is needed to relieve and soften the features. It is not necessary to shingle the hair , but it is nonsense for a woman to wear moro hair than she can keep in order. Keep it clean , oven if you have to thin it out and shorten it every month. Any hair , of any color , quality or quantity is beautiful if It is clean and nicely ar ranged , but no hair , however abundant , bright-hucd and line , is admirable that IB unkempt. * The revolution in hair dressing , which scorns to bo taking place , fa entirely consistent with the present tendency of reviving the costumes of the olden days. The most characteristic feature of the 1830 styles was the peculiar arrangement of loops formed of hair or ribbon , whore hair was not abundant on the top of the head , and variously adorned with osti-ich foatliorsblrd8 , of paradise , rows of pearls , and precious stones. Without the ornamentation there is a striking similarity between the now adaptations 'and the old fancies of our grandmothers , which is formed of empire bows of hair so constructed that they can bo added to any ordinary coiffure. Decided change in the style ot hair dressing comes very slowly , for women are not so willing to adopt every new freak of fashion in this direction as they arc to adopt anything now , however ugly , in the style of their gowns. After perfecting themselves In one par ticular mode of arranging the hair , It Is not so easy to become quickly pro- llclent In another. In order to attain complete success in this art the shape of the head and typo of features must bo taken into consideration. It is not enough that the hair is dressed becom ingly in front. The side oft'oot is of quite , if not more , importance. Only a head faultless in shape , with a nmdonna- llko face , is especially suited to the sim ple etylo of waving the hair at the side and coiling it up In a loose knot at the nape of the neck. The pretty arrange ment of Victorian loops are infinitely more graceful and becoming than sim ple plaits and strike the happy medium : between curls and braids. A Victorian knot formed entirely of tiny btrands of hair and arranged quite high on the head is u novel and becoming style to most women , * * * Don't unless your arms are white and rounded , wear only a little nulT on the shoulders in your party drees. Have your sleeves made in ono or two big drooping pulls , to reach almost to the elbow , where they will meet the long gloves of the same shade. You will look quite as stylish and drossy. Don't if you have u pale complexion , wear a light gray or tan felt hat , because - cause it will give you the effect of being sallow. If you must have it alightshud6 to mutch your dress , Hue the inside with dark velvet , which will lot your skin look fair. Apropos of hats , the rule holds t'cods tliut au untiiuimed brim is trying to all save the most".70i.lL.ftil . faces , whereas a planting , or oven a fold of velvet , Imparts n look of softness. Don't If you are very thin or very stout , or If you oven suspect yourself of a tendency cither way , bo beguiled by your dressmaker into having an Empire gown. It Is a style which suits ono woman out of ten , and the other nine are simply foils to sot off her charms. Don't If your fcot are short and broad , squeeze them with agony Into the shortest shoos you can put on. If you wear a three B , get a throe and one- half A nnd sco how much slenderer nnd bettor shape your feet will look. Don't if you are blonde , brnnotto or medium , lo afraid of wearing yellow. There lo surely ono shade of that color which will suit you nnd bring out all the pink In your skin ; if you are sallow it would make you look white. Don't cover your face with ono of the purple veils. Very few colored veils are to bo trusted as being becoming , while black and white are always In good stylo. Dan't copy everything that you see Is the fashion. Suit your own flcure nnd face , nnd among all the varied designs you will find something Ihnt will give you nn individuality ot your own. Re member thnt the lovely Indies In fashion plates are all Vonusos , which few of us aro. * # People who make a study of such Im portant problems ore always tolling women that the throat Is the first part oft heir bodies to reveal the Insidious approach of age. But they don't add that high "choker" collars and the still linen In which the "tailor-made" young woman nnd the athletic girl delight to bind their necks are ago s most potent allies. The proper way to treat a neck Is to give It all the nlr nnd freedom possible. Bestow your llnon collar nnd chemisettes upon some ono who doesn't wnnt n well preserved throat. Kip every high col lar oil every bodice and finish It with a tiny standing rnlllo of softest silk , if it must have a finishing. Cut your house gowns down in V's in hack and front. Make your ginghams and your muslins with round waists nnd surplice fronts ; trim them with a bit of lace at the throat. Then wash your neck every night with a rough cloth nnd pure almond meal. Rinse It In hot water and anoint it freely with some oinoli- lient. If you can nlTord it , and care about taking your cream in that way , a cream neck bath is excellent. * * * I should like to sco n man who could solve the question of matching a piece of lavender ribbon when there nro eighty dilToront shades of it ; nnd n wo- man can do this nny day she wants to. I should like to sco a man pin a hat on his head without sticking the pin in his cranium ; and a woman can da this twenty time's a day without a looking glass , writes "Bab" in the St. Louis Re public , and In the same strain she con tinues : I should like to see a man who could make a bare hotel room look like homo half an hour after ho has gotten there ; and a woman , with her fans and her shawls and her photographs , can do that without any trouble. I should like to boo a man who could take a sick baby that didn't belong to him and give it a bath and mother it and make it happy and quiet ; and a real woman can always do it. I should like to see a man oh , by the by , that is just what I am going to do so all there is loft for mo Is to say that with nil his faults wo love him still , and that ho haa no more ardent * admirer than "Bab. " * * She walked up to the fan counter of a largo store , rustling in silk petticoat and gorgeous in russet shoes and chamois gloves. "Have you , " she began in a loud but not certain voice ' ' absolutely , 'Have you or any of those Uerseeayclo fans ? " "Any what ? " inquired the clerk in amazement. "Ohl" said the young person loftily , "they're generally called fans dor- seeaycle , but the straight way seemed good enough for mo. " When oven this explanation failed to throw any light on the subject , she walked out again , saying that she'd look elsewhere , whore the .clerks know some thing. Such nro the ways of the fin do sieclo young person. A woman cnn cnn do without rest most women do but she must have sleep. The quantity will bo regulated by her physical condition and circum stances , and on the quality perfect health and the preservation of oeauty will depend , The less sloop a fat woman gets the bolter ; the frail girl , on the othe'r hand , may round out in time if she can spend ton hours out of the twenty-four in dreamland and is prop erly fed between times. Sleep is a good cure for trouble , disappointment and indisposition. A doctor never worries over a patient who has the faculty of going to sleep. Southern women , who are the most coquettish of American types , are noted for "the good night's rest" and the " " "beauty nap" taken before an event at which they" are anxious to look their best. Women who sloop well are noi only prettier , but more The nail uncarcd for receives very little tlo more odium in those days than the ovorcared-for nail. It is no longer any > better taste to go about with nails glow . ing with the rod salvo of the toilet table than it is to have cheeks bright with the | brightness of rouge. Neither are nails any longer polished to the brilliancy of isinglass. The natural gloss is main tained , but not heightened. Manicure sots , accordingly , are some what simplified and are not bought assets sots at all. Better Implements uro ob tained by buying them separately. bA bo pair of nail scissors , a line jewelers' file , a chamois pad , an emery board for smoothing the under surface of the nail and a box of nogalino for healing the soreness caused by loosened cuticle com prise the necessities. An American version of Ze Language Volapuk Is thus convoyed by the Tammany Times , sung in Jingle and sot to rhymes : 7o train go around zo bend 'Wiz zo grand r-r-r-roar and r-r-rattlo ; And I , wiz all uiy ear , attend She have occupy ze scat in front Wiz what you call zo lovairo : Ma fol 1 ho make nod vouo complain or grunt From vhldg ho nod rccovairo , Alzough zo maiden parloz talk , Knough to hill zo fellow , She say : "In zls I take no stock Italsl Cully , alut you mellows I" She say : "Git onto zatl It's sliukl Pop tipped mo zhuat for greens- la U a ball Yell , 1 should snick 1 Coma oft zo porch you know not zo beans.

China bllkd are decidedly fashionable year , und the moat popular patterns nro these revived frginj the early part of the century. , A soft , uncrushaWo silk called rcgcnco la very popular hi l' r\s. \ Midsummer blnzord'and roofers are mndo of white duck)1 ) 'pique , nnd linen sacking. < J' ' _ " Orcnm-whlto silk"glovo3 , delicately stitched with black ni'u very fashionable on dressy occasions/I ! . Skirts made of blfok'crepon ' nnd worn with plaid silk blou&enrc , practical and effective summer dijessos. Even In these days'of fervid heat , very many tourists brWes _ included wear traveling costumes tf'tweed. ) Recently Imported silks have raised dcsiinis In chrisnntucmums , lilies and butterflies on a white ground. Ing in folds at the edge , will bo ono of the features of autumn jackets. A now grenadine for trimming pur poses Is checked nnd spotted with a color. It is used over silk of a third shade. A London hosier says ho has sold more white stockings during the past few weeks than in the same number of years. The "Eulalla" coat Is a cream white cloth jacket trimmed In various ways to make it appropriate for many occasions. All the now hats show black wings , either book or front or at the side , and bunches of cherries nro often used with them. A pretty Idea for decorating finger bowls Is to have a bowl within a bowl of larger size , so thnt space for flowers is left between. Bolts rolirn supreme and there is hardly a summer costume regarded as complete unless it is finished by u ribbon or metal band Little capes barely reaching beyond the shoulders are made of coarse not and covered with frills bordered with narrow white lace. The rage for lace Is greater than over before , nnd from thirty to forty yards of vnlcncicnncs lace 16 a moderate amount for a silk muslin dress. The newest waistbands are composed of seven rows of beads joined together at intervals by bands of imitation gold finely chased and niched. Yellow Is a prime favorite this year , and there are many gowns combining this tone with either black or white , or else may bo entirely in the ono color. A ribbon rosottc , with long floating ends extending half way down tbo skirt , and placed at one side of n square cut bodice , Is a fashionable dross ornament. Patent leather foot coverings , though uncomfortable _ in point of wear , are de cidedly smart in appearance and are chosen as a rule for full dress occasions. Silk , not , batiste , flowered silk muslin nnd orgnndio form some of the most charming toilets of the summer season. Hats and parasols to match are often on suite. For all light dresses white shoos are worn in fact , the .general tendency is toward those dainty tints that are so much in keeping with youth and summer time. As the Princess May will bo responsi ble for many of th6 fashions in the im mediate future , and .pale blue is her most becoming colpr , blue is to bo the coming fashionable.shade. It Is more generally than over a "cot ton summer , " as women , both old and young , have disco'yorod that washable fabrics made up In'stylish forms are the most attractive gowns for warimweathor. Some of the beautiful summer toilets of flowered muslin , sprigged or dotted organd\e.pr \ shot crepon , are made with folded o'mpiro gifdlo and Queen Anne sleeve pulls of pale-tinted French surah. Imported outing cloths , Ijght of weight , smooth "surfaced , and thus pleas ant to the touch , and this season pre ferred for mountain and seaside dresses to the more woolly flannels so long in uso. The deplorable want of pockets in gowns , and the inaccessible region they are placed when they exist at all , has caused the women to rebel , and little bags to bo worn on the wrist are the ro- suit. ' The majority of the most fashionable corsages are either seamless nnd drawn over glove-fitting linings or merely fitted with side forms , with the immediate front and back portions slightly gath ered. In hats there seems to bo a perfect mania for those that turn up directly in front , and this style , though very be coming to young faces , Is most danger ous for any ono to attempt who has passed the first blush of youth. Sheer white lawn blouses and waists are at once cool , dainty and stylish. They may bo in serpentine form , may follow the conventional lines of the silk or cropon shirt waist or drooping blouse , or bo shaped in some pretty simple fash ion of the owner's own. A pretty accessory to a gown , and ono which makes an old waist look now , consists of a .flounco of lace falling from the neckband in straight folds nearly to the waist in front , forming epaulets on the shoulders , a collar in the back , and all in ono piece. Dainty and elegant dresses of India muslin are made with alternate trim mings on the skirt of lace insertion andrews rows oi tiny gathered ruches of the muslin. The corsage is a bolted round waist with the same style of trimming coming from the neck and shoulders to the waist. The long , the very long , silk mittens , with or without decorated tops , will bo worn this summer , and in the greatest length shown will run quite up to the top of the shortest sleeves , while in a diminished length they will reach the ruttlo , coming below the elbow , which will be worn on the sleeves of many.of this season's summer gowns. An exceedingly chic gown of corded pique in undrokon yhlto has milliner's folds of the plquo run around the skirt .in twos. The two /olds at the bottom are an Inch in width' and a finger apart. A foot above two parrowor folds are eot closer together , and < at the knee the two folds are qulto narrow and close sot , not over an inch and U half apart. Pummlu'e 'Faoti. Haymaking parks' , are the latest fad. A certain English gentlewoman has a lavender distillery ) inSurroy. : Queen Victoria ArbwB her own tea , and has a decided fpnduosa for orange pekoo. ba/c Miss Anne Bayard , daughter of the now ambassador to the court of 1Ot. James , is euid to' have boon the most graceful and splrlt a rider in Washingi ton. ' * ' Miss Braddon is said to have realized the historic ambition of Sir Walter Scott , who declared that ho would make JCIOO.OOO by llctlon before ho ceased writing , A prominent English physician of ' largo experience with drunkards says that ho can recall hundreds of recover ies among men , but only five among women. It isn't ' strange that sedan chairs and a good many old fashions should bo re vived in the wake of the 1830 gown. The latest resurrection is of spinning and lace-making , Mrtt. Lieutenant Pcnry has a fancy for tall leather gutters , and , it is said , wears , . them upon all occasions. Her greatest power lies in her personal magnetism. She makes a convincing argument when lecturing because of her uuruostuoas , simplicity of language nnd straightfor ward statements. Kate Clnxlon ( Mrs. Stevenson ) , the actress nnd playwright , hnsnn exquisite bijou cottage .In Lnrchmont manor. It is dccorntcd and furnished Hko an orlontnj summer house nnd has every comfort. Miss Grant , the daughter of Colonel Fred Grant , besides her various social attraction" nnd her romnrknblo beauty , works hard In the study of art. She has nn ambition to follow in the footsteps of Bonhour. Our own brains Elizabeth Cndy Stanton - ton recently closed her remarkable paper with the lliiest "Tho kindest wonmns heart Is that which shrinks rather at Its own inhumanity than nt nnothor's. " Louis P. Dossnr , the celebrated young American painter who has mndo himself famous by his delineation of women's fncos nnd figures , Is the creator of that great canvas "Clolhlldo , " which has sot all Europe talking. Bcothovou's ' "Immortal Beloved" was the Countess Theresa Braunschweig , to whom ho was for a long tlmo secretly betrothed. The botrotb.nl wns not mndo public because the countess feared the effect on her mother , who was Intensely proud of her rank and family. If you are a housekeeper and wish to keep up with the styles you must possess a Doutschen jug for iced tea and cofloo. The Doutschon jugs nro quite the fad in table decorations. To bo extremely fastidious you might have your picture photographed on the outside. Two hundred and fifty clubs , with a membership of 25,000 , were represented nt the federation of clubs this year. As this number Is probably not a tenth of the total number of women's clubs in this country , the figures , If they could bo secured , would bo astonishing. A woman's branch of the Horticultu ral college in Kent , Eng. , was estab lished two years ago , nnd has now eight students. This Is a comparatively now experiment In the education of women , but it is said that all those who have entered thus far scorn to thoroughly en joy their work. Since it has become n fnd for ladles to visit the houses of Parliament they have especially disported themselves on the terrace , where they can have both tea and talk. Lord Randolph Churchill , however , and some other selfish legisln- tors have rebelled , and have succeeded in reserving one-half the terrace for members only. Mrs. Haryot Holt Gaboon comes to the front this week with a book entitled , "What Ono Woman Thinks ! " Wo don't expect this sort of thing from a woman , and yet , when ono docs think and think logically , then wo bow down and wor ship her , Mrs. Cahoon has buuuty and brains , a rare combination outside of Mmo. Lecreq's fairy tales. Mrs. Berry Wall , who spends several days every week at Manhattan bench , has not the same love of conspicuous dress as her fastidious husband. Indeed , she presents a marked contrast to him , and together as they promenade on the bench at Manhattan , ono nervous and sparkling and the other calm and re served , they are objects of much com ment. Another thing which shoemakers and physicians will tell you to do for your complexion is to wear looser shoos for the summer months than you do for the rest of the year. The fcot seem to feel I the general languor even more than the rest of the frame docs , and whatever gives them the nearest approach to bare foot case is the best thing for them in summer. Mrs. Richard Irvin , the classic fea- ured flame who keeps all society guess ing as to what she will do next , has de parted for Narrngansott Pier with her charming niece , MiEs Lulu Morris. Miss Morris was not always the tall , slender , graceful maiden she is now. Just about throe years ago she was passing through the awkward age of girlhood where freckles and forwardness constitute the omnipresent features. 0a The bow in polite circles is considered all that is necessary. A gentleman whnn given an introduction to a lady bows. Two ladies being introduced bow. When friends meet they bow or nod. A gentle > man when escorting ladies raises his hat. which means also a bow from the ladies should they recognize a friend. This last rule is the same in all social circles in America. But whenever the introduction partakes of a marked friendly character , then the handshake becomes a go-between. In 1870 Sarah Bornhardt , as a member of the Comedio Francaiso , visited Lon don and was entertained by the lord mayor. The breakfast was held in the long parlor at the Mansion house , a room which is adorned with busts of Wellington and Nelson. The divine but erratic Sarah took offense at what she , considered an affront to her national Erojudico , and was on the point of leav- ig the room. She was pacified , how rf ever , but this year the entertainments to the present company are given in the Egyptian hall , so as to avoid dangerous ground. Whore are the croakers who say that everything was all right in "tho good old days ? " Hero comes along a diary written by a lady of fashion some fifty years ago , and among other complaints , which are like echoes of those wo hear every day , are these : "Our streets ire not wide enough for the carriages , nor the week long enough for one's engage ments. There Isn't ' enough money , or ot enough time to spend it in. In short , such a mess ! " Also , the w/itor of the diary , Lady Gcorgluna do llos , uays : "No wonder girls are delicate If they eat mutton chops before dinnorl" Mary E ! Wllklns "losses up" to the following story about her youthful days : When TtflBS Wllklns was a young girl she was invited to a party , and she yearned with a great yearning for a blue , sash to adorn herself for the occasion. But her mother thought differently and Mary was obliged to content herself with a blue ribbon tied around her waist. But another little girl was more lucky and appeared the full glory POof a wide blue sash. Miss Wilkins at once took all the life out of that other little girl by telling her , in a superior way , that sashes were all , oh ! all out of style , and ribbons were the only garniture a self-respecting waist would acknowledge. Miss Wilkins characterizes this con duct of hers as "a plnco of cattishness" and professes repentance.
