In peaking of young ladles I mean unmar ked tadles , for the young married womtn of Omaha , with'1 but two or three exceptions , are .old the moment they pronounce thu mar riage" vow. ' Just' ns soon as a young couple become engaged they are virtually out of nocicty. Everyone knows all about Jt , and they are treated with the same curiosity that one finds In the small country towns. , A utrangsr'ln Omaha with a modern jeut coot would attract no more attention than nn avowed lover , and surely n stranger with n modem coat comes In the way of a curiosity. So married women nre old women and wo will speak , of them at another time. The Omaha belles are Just UH prptty as the belles of other cities. The southern beauty , , so iftcn spoken and written about , Is not more perfect than the beauty found right here In Omaha , and I must admit that no. one appreciates It more than the gallnnts who enjoy It. The young man In Omaha wlio lm a hotnely girl must be unattractive Indeed. But let him be as attractive as he may he will never have more than one girl at a time. . This Is one of Omaha's provincial isms. . The Omaha girl Is pretty ; she Is g/acc- ; fill , she Is vivacious ; never cold , and only formal when It Is proper. Moro often we will find her dreadfully Improper , hut de lightfully Innocent. She is not well. Shcj has no more Idean about chess- than a grl ) from Grand Island would have. She wears , big sleeves juade out of some soft cloth so" that they Will lay down nice and smooth ; and not attract any attention. , If there Is'cno thing that frightens pn Omaha girl more than another It U con- Fplcuousness. Would she" wear whale hones In her sleeves ? No , Somebody might re mark It , and that would mortify her dread fully. This modesty Is carried almost tq the verge of ridiculousness. I have beeri Introduced to young ladles , daughter * of rich merchants and bankers , who dress , when upon the street. In clothes little bet ter than shabby. Many a. time I hayo avoided meeting them so as to save myself the mortification of rpcdgnlzlng them. * t She has not the * faintest Idea of approprN atoncsB. She will wear an Eaton Jacket , * hlrt waist and russet shoes .on Sunday ; nnd possibly she may wear them to church. Now nhy Is this ? Is It becotis ? that she does not know that while In town negligee cannot bo worn on Sunday , or because she has no other wearing apparel ? Let us hope that It Is the latter reason that prompts her to to grossly Insult propriety In dress. I have seen young ladles in church with duckings , both in shoes and dress , while other young ladles , going for n drive , will don some modest gown so as not to bo con spicuous. As for hats , It appearsto me\ \ , that the Bailer Is worn any place , from a requiem mass to a lawn tennis tournament. There Is no place so sacred that It will not be Invaded by the "sailor" of nn Omaha girl. ' How she walks' Just like a chicken. The Almighty gav her legs and ppwer to move them. This .tho docs , and nothing more. The Idea "of walking In any particular style never entered tier head. Sho- has heard that It Is 'proper-to swing one's shoulders. This some' of the" Omaha girls do to1 such 'an extc9i'iUmtjit-really makes mo quite giddy , nnd .J fedl tempted to rush up and catch thejtl Uefore-theyMoso their balance. Tlerf\j \ but one young lady In Omaha who knows1'liow to walk. You have un doubtedly seen her on the streets as well as I. , She also carries lorgnettes , and , In my opinion , Is the only young lady In Omaha wlth'blue blood. It Is perfectly evident to me that the yourijt ladles' In this town have been Imper fectly' Instructed In their dancing. If this were n'qt so they would never walk so abominably. Many stoop over , and others walk as though they wcro leitvlng their feet behind them. ' NoWf dear glrla , whatever stooping you do , do It from your waist and keep your feet In front of you. .Swinging Is proper , but swing your whole body and step high , that Is , pick your feet on the pavement and let them down again with decision , just as It you knew they wcro there. From tlmo to time the style In walking changes , but these changes nre never radical and are very 'easily acquired after one once learns how to walk. There Is still another etylo In walking and It never changes , that Is , It has not changed since our grandmotherb were girls. This Is the ball room walk , or the walk that Is used In the house. You have no Idea how out of place i really swell street stride looks In the parlor. This ball room walk Is the essence of gracefulness and was not Invented to save time or cover ground. Any one , naturally graceful , with study aand practice can learn this walk. The shoulders are held a la mlll- talre , and the legs are used springy as pos- Bible with only enough swing to the arms to glvo the figure composure. I once knew a young lady who learned to walk this way without assistance , but then she could walk no other way and was dread fully bad form on the street. Now , I would advise the girls who wish to acquire these necessary accomplishments to first obtain an able master and then to prac tice continually. In New York many of the young ladles be long to classes where walking Is taught as an art. . Her flirtations , oh , they are terrible ! . At least that's what she thinks. She actually glanced out of the sldo of her eye once , but then It was at an actor , and she has never forgiven herself for being so naughty. It Is lucky for her that she never tried It again , for the busybody Is now shadowing her. The only women In Omaha who have any freedom are the widows , and they do have a Jolly time. Girls , don't you wish you wore widows ? Then you could let your sparkling eyes twinkle to- their heart's content. Then you would not freeze our young blood with those cruelly cold glances , but accidentally drop your dainty handkerchief , so that we might with proper gallantry return It to you. I do no ( wish my gentle readers to think that I approve of flirting. On the contrary. I consider xne actions commonly called 'flirt- Ing as the height of Impropriety , for It may lead one Into the most undesirable complica tions. Yet a glance , a smile can do no harm , and romance Is the splco of life. Her love affairs era numerous. 'They usually cover a long period of time before the Intended actually appears. This Is the reason that so many or our maiden acquain tances don't look so young as they did. An Omaha girl might love more times than she has fingers and toes , and yet she will love sincerely each time. Her passion I > as pure as herself , and If her lover be either rich or poor her love remains the tame. In less provincial places than Omaha women have grown practical , and now look upon motiey as the first consideration. They do not marry for money , yet they do not permit themselves to love any one without money. This Is the only safeguard society has to protect Itself from the Inroads of the rabble. The young ladles should consider ' Uils. icrlousJy , If It does not spoil a young lady to. consider anything seriously. v Although the society In Omaha at present Is In tliq happy condition where It would be Impossible to spoil It , yet the young ladles must remember that this state of things cannot always exist , and the poxver to better It lies In thrlr hanJi. I mean that the young- ladles of means should not throw themselves n\vny upon these clerks and ready made dudei , uven though they might bo manly fellows. What society wants Is blood , not the grots unconvcntlonalltlcs of a packIng - Ing house clerk or strong-minded bank col lector. Ladles , love and marry gentlemen , not those parodies who wear their hair parted on the side and go to the opera In a sack suit. Ilemember Omaha U gradually shaking otf the me h of the wild anil woolly , and If Wood la uot here , why , then , Import it. I do not approve International marriage * , yet manof them have proved nappy. Bet your cap for a young man who represents some cultured family In any of our eastern cltlci ! , where they arc plentiful. Of course , you must pot expect to get a rich gentle man , a such an one would not likely marry a western girl , for a western alliance would hardly be advantageous to a gentleman al ready pctateszcd of money. An Omaha girl's love Is like an extra cJI- tlon of The lice , every one sect It. She li so ( elf-conscious that her friends rush up to her and tny. "Oh , Jennie , what alls you ; are you In love ? " and then , of course , Jenny pleads guilty Of the charge and tells how Jack proposed , etc. , etc. Then when Jack chows his face again we may pity him , for every girl Tie metis will know all about It , and will -say , " 'Oh , Jack , how Is she ? " "Who ? " asks Jack. "Oh , you know who ! " will be the response. This1 reminds me of my country cousins who live In Maine , where they still RO n-courtln' ' Childishness - and sparkln' . Such Is beyond till.excuse , and I have heard much of It whllo In Omaha. Any woman who has this Inqulsltlveness can never be a social success , and I would advise her not to leave Omaha , for jmch apparent Ill-breeding would not bo tolerated elsewhere * . Her breeding has In the moral scute been exemplary. , , .Mamiri.V ccclriB lo-lmvc Intended her for a cannibal missionary or toucher of the bible class , but not as a society woman. Whatever llttlo coquettish wiles she learns must be through experience , for mamma never drp.imt of such n thing , and the prin ciples of sumII society arc unknown to her. She Is told that she will probably some day marry n man , but the prospect decs li&t frighten her-a particle ? Shu never Cloves' a man for money , or be cause he has a better social position than she can command , for mamma said she mustn't. Mamma says that such marriages ore unhappy , , and papa says that If Jennie will make tome man as good a wife us mamma has been , , thcn he will die happy. Such were the ideas of our grandparents. Why should we cling to them at this fcitc date ? One would think that a woman mar ried for no other reason than to raise chil dren. dren.My My dear girls , pet these Ideas out of your head. We do not Tiavo marriages these days. Wo merely enter Into an alliance , and the propagation of the race Is * left to the classes. CIU3M DE MYNT. As the time , approaches to leave the city for sea shore , and mountains many women are filled wltll envy when they see a favor ite of fortune who Is blessed with natural ringlets. She can go through n drizzling rnln , a sea turn , a dense fog , or a sea bath and come out looking particularly charming with the little damp clustering curls about her face , while the unfortunates present a decidedly bedraggled and forlorn appearance with straightand straggling locks. But th'ere seems to be n remedy for this misfor tune , nnd tliJH remedy has attained a great degree of perfection wlth'ln the last few years , says the New Y.ork Sun. Though one's hair cannot be made to retain the de sired kinks' , natural curls can be bought ' and - substituted. The only drawback Is that they are a very expensive luxury. Naturally wavy hair being rare and difficult to procure , the price of It Is high. The manufacturers of coiffures often pay as high as' $250 a pound. If the hair Is white It costs from | 450 to $ lbOO a pound.The old-fashioned wig Is no more , new false pieces taking Its place. T.hexe false pieces are exceedingly light , being made of a tmall piece of tulle. The hair Is sewed Into the tulle , which Is In visible when on the head. Polnte d'Alen- cpn Is a lace manufactured for this pur pose. It is made especially strong , so that it will often last two years ur more without a break. The false pieces come In small fluffy bung ) that cannot be told from one's own hair. 'Then there Is a coiffure that Is made for seashore wear or when one Is trav eling and waving the hair has to be dis pensed with. One's own hair may be pushed smoothly back as the "front piece" covers nearly the whole head. The back pleca Is simply a bunch of curls on n long hair pin , which 1 * used to form a knot. , This may bo arranged yery quickly , as braids and twists arc done away , with. ' Pretty coiffures are also- made for those who are losing their hair or are already slightly bald about the temples. Then sometlmed the hair has Been burned and hurt by using hot Irons so that It can no longer be curled and some kind of a false piece Is desired that the hair may be al lowed to rest and grow. One of the newest styles and a great fa vorite has the hair drawn back from the cen ter of the forehead and short curls on either side. When the baldness becomes more pro nounced there arc pieces arranged to wave at the sides of the head , going In with the back hair , and complete wigs , made so per fect that It takes a keen ob crver to be positive that they are .wigs , may be had when the head has become almost entirely bald. Hero Is a rather pretty story which U vouched for by , a London journal , showing- how a small baby once got his mother Into serious difficulties and then made amemU by getting her out of them again. It seem , that a poor scamstreis with a child In her arms was tried for the theft of three gold coins. She said In defense : "I went to my employer's house on business. I car * rled my child In my arms , aj It Is now , I was not paying attention to It. There were several gold coins on the mantel piece , and , unknown to me. It stretched out Its llttlo hand and swied three pieces , which I did not observe until I gat home. I at once put on my bonnet and was going back to my employer to return them when I was arrested. This Is the solemn truth , as I hope for heaven' * mercy. " The court could not believe thla story * They upbraided the motncr for her Im pudence In endeavoring to palm oft such a falsehood for ' the truth. Hut she so per tinaciously 'asserted her Innocence that a novel experiment was made In her favor. One of the officials proposed to renew Ihe scene described by Ihe mother. The gold coins were place on the clerk's table. The mother was requested to resume the posi tion In which she stood at her employer's house. There was then a breathless pause In court. The baby soon discovered the bright coins , eyed them for a moment , smiled and then clutched them In Its fingers with a miser's eagerness. The mother was at once acquitted. Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben , the two young American students who made a tour around the world on bicycles , tell many In teresting stories of their experiences In Asia. In the first of a series of articles written for the Century , which appears In the May number , they' give the following account of the dishes that were set before them In Tur key : As all cooking and rating had stopped at the sound of the morning cannon , we found great difficulty In gathering together even In a cold breakfast of ckmek , yaourt and raisins. Ekmek Is a cooked train-Hour paste , which has the thinness , consistency and almost the taste of blotting paper. This Is the Turkish peasant's staff of life. He carries It with him everywhere ; so did we. As It was ma.de | n huge circular sheets , we would often punch a hole In the middle and slip It over our.arms. This we found the handiest -and most serviceable mode of transportation , being handy to eat with It without removing our hands from the handle-bars , and also-answering the purpose of satis In case of a favoring wind. Yaourt , another almost universal food , Is milk curdled with rennet. This , an- well as all foods that are not liquid , they scoop up with a roll of ekmek , part of the scoop being taken with every mouthful. Halslns here , as well as In many other parts of the country , are very cheap. We paid two plasters ( about 9 cents ) for an oclie ( two and a half pounds ) , but wo coon inarto the discovery that a Turkish echo contained a great many "stones" which , of course , was purely ac cidental. Eggs , also , we found exceedingly cheap. On one occasion twenty-five were let before us , In response to our call for eggs to the value of one plaster V4 cents. In Asiatic Turkey we had some extraordi nary dtshf * served to us. Including daintily prepared leeches. Hut the worst mixture , perhaps , wa * the "llalram soup , " which contains over a dozen Ingredients , Includ ing peas , prunes , walnuts , cherries , date * . White and black beans , apricots , cracked wheat , raisins , etc. all mixed In cold water , llalram Is the period of feasting after the Ramadan fast. In one particular , at least , Philadelphia society occupies an almost unique position In this country. Thla peculiarity la II * absolute disregard for money. The man with a long rent roll IB no more favortd than the clerk who U dependent on hie ( mall salary In a downtown office ; the girl who has to make her own ball dresses re ceives Just aa much attention as her feoclal sinter who buyn hers In Paris , and It IB a fact that the man who marries a rich girl In the Quaker City Is usually regarded with severe suspicion. Philadelphia society Is formed on a basis of Philadelphia birth , sayi a writer In Harper's Magazine , and It has not very much regard for anything else. A man who boasts of n grandfather born In the Quaker City , according to the notions of this old society , Is considerably more of a pen on than another man who can trace his family back ten generations In any other state. A young Philadelphia matron to my knowledge had to choose as a gucsl for dinner between a commonplace girl with a long Philadelphia pedigree and a very bright and amusing girl who had n perfectly secure position In New York. Without a moment's hesitation the hostess chose the common place Phtladclphlan , and she did It wjth Ihe full knowledge that by so doing she would give the greater satisfaction lo her guests , who all happened td be from her own city , f simply state this to show that Phlla- drlphlans above nil else love their own , and to bo born and bred In their city Is the highest honor which they recognize. So far an the usual social functions arc concerned , those of Philadelphia 'do 'not differ very materially from those of other cities , except' In the fact that the debutantes form the axle about which the social circle revolves.1 From two to three years Is the usually allotted time In which a girl plays an active part In Philadelphia society. Then she generally has a very expensive wedding , and retires to an Inexpensive married1 existence on Locust street. Alrriont every city has Its Brides' How , and In this respect Philadelphia Is no exception. The only dif ference Is that the houses on Locust street are probably smaller than any other brides' he-uses In the world , iiiul show an architect ural variety In their fronts which makes the castles of Chljaeo'a North Side drlvo ap pear absolutely plain. A light wrap Is considered a necessary addition to a summer outfit , says the fashion editor of the New York Sun , and whether It Is needed or not It Is the fashion to have capes , coats and Jackets of various kinds. Capes arc , ns they have been for some time , the most desirable garment extant , for , no matter what proportion the sleeve assumes , the cape adjusts Itself to the required size. Light transparent black materials , such as silk muslin , chiffon and net. are used for some of the more gauzy affairs , which are well named "cool mantles , " for the element of warmth Is entirely lacking. However , they afford all the thickness that Is needed , and fulfill their mission by looking pretty and giving a finishing touch to the street toilet. The most fashionable ones are very short , and often built In two or three"stories ; for Instance , a moire foundation will have a second cape of finely platted chiffon spangled at the edge , while the third'capo will bo of jetted net or old guipure lace , with full ruche of ostrich feathers or quilted tulle around the neck. A very dainty and summery cape is made of finely plaited black chiffon over a second capo of the same material In glowing cerise ; yellow or white. The black capo Is caught up with satin bows on the shoulder. A yoke of spangles or net , around which the flounces of chiffon are shirred , makes It very pretty. One of the season's shapes has long stole ends In front , but It Is not a favorite style , as ends are said to add age to the figure , which , It true , Us fate Is settled beyond help. The old fogies may frown and look askance If they will , but meanwhile the cycle girl continues to roll along just the same. And the longer she rides her two- wheeled Pegasus the better acquainted , she becomes with his back , says the Brooklyn Times. Hec favorite Is averse to skirts , and If his rider does not finally discard them It will not be because Pegasus has not" mrfde plenty of objections to such obstructions. Narrow skirts are out of the question , as they do not permit sufficient freedom of mor tlon. Wide skirts are nearly as bad , for the wind generated by the rapid motion blows the folds tight about the body and Im pedes progress as much as those which are made narrow. If the , , .only reason for re taining the objbctlonabls'rpettlcoat Is that they are more modest , this will not defemj them sufficiently , for they do not conceal the figure"so successfully as the looae trousers called bloomers. j At a meeting- a dress reform club re cently It was decided that the nearest api preach to man's attire was the most con venient , as well as the most graceful cos tume. Women have overcome their scruples sufficiently to wear the modern bathing .suit. They will doubtless do the same In the case of bicycle costumes. The French women have already assumed them as a matter of course. The blouse and short skirt Is of dark gray waterproof goods. The band around the" bottom tom of the skirt , the belt , the lower sleeves and the V plastron are all of black. Straps of the gray are stitched down on the shoulders and sleeves. A small black hat with a quill completes the costume. It Is a common opinion that our girls have grown to be mere butterfly lassies , a * changeful as the colors of the chameleon. But Is It all their fault , suppojlng the state ment to be true ? How can a girl brought up to have what she likes , when she likes It , no matter what the cost , ever learn to think In regard to the use and abuse of money ? asks the Philadelphia Times. I know of one father who never allows his daughter to have more than ? 1 or $2 In money , but she can charge to any amount consequently she does charge In a reckless manner and never considers cost when Items are to go on the bill. But she will worry and fret over cash expenditures till her pretty head Is nearly distraught. Women should have more liberty finan cially. To receive money doled out In pitiful amounts by a husband or father Is simply maddening. If a woman were allowed a cer tain amount she would soon grow accustomed to It. and would make every dollar count Nothing so broadens and expands character as trust. The best deeds have often been ac complished by Inferior people who have risen to the occasion by aid of the trust placed upon them. If the girls realized the moral re sponsibility of money and were allowed to use It more as they chose , they would soon grow to enjoy spending money to the best advantage , feeling a sort of partnership In the funds which It Is to their Interest ) to dispose of well' . Lock up the coffers ; never let the women know the Incomes they are to draw from ; tell them they couldn't under stand business even If It were explained to them , and of course the result Is a "butter fly girl. " A suggestion from a very high quarter has lately been the means of creating an Invention by which the whole traveling world will doubtless benefit. It occurred to her royal highness. Princess Christian , when ordering one of Messrs. Drew's "enroute" tea baskets that the conveniences of the basket would be Immensely Increased If the tea , coffee or any other liquid could , be kept hot , Instead of the traveler being compelled , as heretofore , to expend time In boiling the kettle , making the tea < ate. The expression of this desire on the part of her royal high ness has led the firm at Piccadilly circus to devise an admirable apparatus wherein two vessels ( say of csffee and milk ) can be Inserted containing the hot beverages , and can be left there for the space of even six hours without the contents suffering any appreciable chill. In the basket made for the princess the bottles are of an extra thick kind of nickel silver , and are placed In a case of nonhait-canductlng material , and the cups and saucers with < whlch the basket Is furnished are made of the finest white Stourbrldgo china. For the use of the general public similar baskets are being rapidly manufactured large enough to con tain luncheon ( Including , for Instance , a tureen of soup or a dUh of hot stew ) for a party of several persons. Iixhlnii IllnU. Flowers were the distinctive feature of Queen Victoria's drawing rooms this season , Crushed strawberry red U the favorite color In wash silks used for the blouse waist.

A now all-silk garniture JR. a beautifully shaded galoon In diagonal cords , and heavy silk lace worked With Jet or Irrldcsccnt beads forms another attractive trimming. Parasols to match the tiny checked silk * so much In fashion now arc the proper thing , and give an opportunity to possess a simple parasol which Is not extensively duplicated. There arc no marked changes In frock * for llttlo folks from those worn last season. Straight skirts , -puffed sleeves and shoulder frills are stllf the distinguishing features. The popular lace collar * have shaped themselves Into yokes , spread out Into points and curves on the sleeves , and now they seem likely to expand Into- capes which will reach to the waist. Open-work embroidery Is fast gaining favor and Is now done on trie colored cham- bery as well in- the white and ecru mull. It It used extensively on one gown , some times forming the entire front of the skirt. Among the delicate cclorecl organdies so pretty for summer gowns there are bright poppy reds and dark navy blue. The red gowns arc very striking , trimmed with black lace , and the blud Is pretty adorned with white. Fans are much smaller than heretofore , and the most fashlnable arc the pretty Empire air givers , mounted on tortoise thell sticks of yellow. Others are embroidered very finely with baby ribbon. In Louis XIV. styles , and Illuminated with spangles. Solid colors , such as the deep Du Barre rose , myrtle green , turqolse , celadon , old blue and yellow are much liked , ornamental bands on engraved lleur-de-lls , crescents or tiny flowerets are a relfpf to the monotony of the one color In dinner sets.
