Long ...1899 Present-Day Fashions Loretta's Looking Glass-Held Up to the GirlWho is Fussy J A delightfully written letter came to me few days since. It was so charmingly worded, and it held such a wealth of girlish frankness, funnily, mixed, with an exuber ance of girlish scorn and Impatience that I had U. laugh. Bo, you. see, I bad a varied enjoyment out' of It. It ta too' long to put In here, and' I am sorry, for It is one of the conmunlcatlbne , which makes me re gret that I have not a whole page at, my disposal. ... -, However', this Is the gist of It: 'I oon feas to the faults, that you flay. . I know that I have nearly all of them. And It . ami tarn rood to-be scolded for them." :But sow comes the funny. "fussy, scornful part; '"t never allow my finger nails to gather fefrt under .heir rims."' Vila girl owns up to stealing beau and talking gossip. She acknowledges that she flirts and aha wears hobble skirts. ' But she keeps her" nail's clean. And she 'enters Into a youthfully enthusiasts exposition of the criminality or dirty nans, one oegs me to write an awful lecture to the glrla who dress' In their prettleat and have their hair marcelled perfectly, then go to a dance with dirt under their finger nAHs. Bh tells bw she Keeps ners cm ro very anon um ,0twt can find any hospitality under their ' 'ffhut. J am not going to write about finger &u:-1 am going to give a short disquisi tion on the fussy' girl. I think she will be one if she Is not already. Finger nails are her fussy bobby.. But .something else wlu-r succeed them. .. She, Is an. extremist. And the only thing, which makes an ex tremist, livable is - the , saving sense . of humor, .which, I much -fear, .she has not. Could, a girl who saw the funny side of herself and her tusslness so sweetly . and generously and cheerfully. Indeed with an abandon that Indicated a real, enjoyment acknowledge-, that she possessed all' the faults that make girls bate- her, make men ahuu her, make, women suspect her of double-dealing-and then apply -the fact that abo .had" always- cja flng-nsils -aa -a, kind of-jaUve for all bar shortcomings! You.-see. finger .nail fadffst, ryon bav-a made, a fetich of a comparatively-Insigni ficant ' matter. -1 know yeu actually form your opinion of people on their finger nails. And It's a terribly unsafe way of decidlng- whether a man ta good or a girl true, " -I hate dirt under finger 'nalla or any place, on top of tbera or around them er even In their neighborhood. But I am not so fussily frantlo about It that I make It a sign by which to Judge- people. Neither does it seem to me cause for approving my flirting or gossiping that I have clean finger nails. Wrty finger nails are not a crime. They are Just an abomination. But some of the faults you so amiably acknowledge are criminal. They cut and slash hearts. 'They wound and destroy reputations.' About the only real harm finger nalla, clean or other wist, can accomplish is to scratch. ' And such assault would be legally avenged. ' But the other faults, the gossiping, the lying, all of them are the subtler misdemeanors which deal Invisible but lasting harm and cannot be reached for redress. - .Don't be so fussy about your finger nails. Tou may have holes in your stockings. Another girl might hate you for that. Of course, she would be another fussy girl If she did.

Natives of the Tonga Islands considered that to sneeae at the moment of setting out on an expldition was fraught with the most fatal results. An old superstition prescribed that-If those who. were affected with ague would visit at dead of night the nearest cross road five different times and then bury a new-laid egg, the disease would be burled. If the experiment failed, they attributed It to some unlucky accident that may have befallen them on the way. ' Barrels were used In 10 B.

Imagine living In a place where wine la as cheap and more plentiful than water, where water Is used for washing purposes only, and where, when you want to quench your thirst, you go to the nearest wine cask and simply help yourself. There is no charge. Down in-the southeast corner of Europe In Routnanla and Bulgaria there are auch places. The plain folk down there live In villages there are . no Isolated farma, between towns and In the morn ing men. women and children troop out Into the fields to work from, sunrise up to sundown. There la a little vineyard on almost farm. In the autumn the grapes are pressed, the. .wine la made and It ts stored In the cellar. Whan you are thirsty you take a flagon and Mr It and drink. It Is Just the same as drinking, at a public drinking fountain after you become ac customed to It. 'The reason why nobody thinks of drink ing water Is for the simple reason that water is too precious. It has ta be hauled from the town pump or soma hillside spring, and there Is enough of It to be carried for washing dishes and so on. but not for a beverage, particularly in whiter, when the brooks are frosen ever, and then It Is too much trouble to get water.

Martyrs have gone to their fate In varioua waya, with hymns of praise on their lips and the light of faith in their eyea. The liena In tbe pit at the amphitheater have gulped the blood of tender maids, and crunched the bones of aged men; Christiana have biased to light the revels of a Roman despot; the auto-de-fe has been the prelude to the holocaust; "Bluldy Claver'us" has har ried the Covenanter, and Alva sighed in vain that all the millions of heads of Holland were not on one neck that be he might end the heresy by a single stroke. And those were days of devotion and deeds of heroism sueh as the world had thought It would never know again. But the spirit of the martyr Is not dead, nor will it be while we find men like these, willing to undergo the hard ship, the toll and the priva tion, the danger, and the nerve wracking , atraln Incident to watching two country base ball teams play on Sunday. Surely soma special form of recognition will be provided for i hem. Their martyrdom has only one parallel In recent years, and that Is the case of the ministers who took money subscribed by the con gestions, and went into the bad lands of Omaha to spend It for beer and other enter tainment, that they might have first band knowledge of what was being done behind the red light eigne.

Another cause for regret of which 1 have heard not a little, is that the great American bank roll did not respond to the dint with the yielding noise it is accustomed to maLke. One reason for this, though, la that the coronation prices here are not so much higher than those we pay every day at home. I had a splendid station. wniie the procession was go ing by. It was at a street corner, and as far as I could see my eye fell on a great expanse of bowlers, and billy cocks and fore-and-afters, with 'ere and there a topper, and the mlsaus with her li os trich plume. All of which was deuced ly uplifting. And at that 1 had as good a view of tbe Kink en his way as several mlliiona of ethers, and 1 didn't see 'm a tall. Mister John 'Ays 'Ammond.

The animals stunt was to drum on the piano with his trunk while he sat before the instrument en a stool. He looked odd. te say tbe least, and the hideous noise be made was by courtesy called music. One day he hit the piano more heavily than usual and smashed tbe keyboard. A pew one wae purchased, and the next day the elephant was led te the stool before the Instru ment. He sat himself down, but Instead of playing he groaned miserably. The manager of the circus coaxed him to play, but be only groaned. Finally be was led out ef ths tent by the man ager, who returned in a few minutes with this excuse: "Ladles and gentlemen, I regret that the disobedience of Jumbo has caused you a lose of pleasure; but unfortunately the poor fellow discovered that the Ivory ia the keys ef the plane came from hie mother's tusks and be couldn't play for grief."
