A WINDY DAY IN MARCH.
These fashion fellers' magazines
ate mighty nice to see.
They alters held an interes'
uncommonlike fer me.
I sit a readln' evenln's till my head
jes' aches an' aches
An' then I git the paper
that my darter lay takes
An' res' my eyes on dresses,
jes' the lates' styles for Spring.
It tells ye all about 'em,
how the skirts Ml sweeper cling,
An' as how they'll rustle like
as ef they's stiff with starch.
But it never tells you 'bout 'em
on a windy day in March.
I don't pretend to understan'
'bout bodices an' trains,
Ner ruffles, flounces, an' the like
a fashion-book explains,
An' as fer yokes o' taffeta
er flowery sateens
I've read a lot 'bout 'em all,
but pshaw, I don't know beans!
They say as how a skirt Ml hang
"in many graceful folds,"
But that little observation
that I made in startin' holds.
Perhaps some day they'll sort o'
"sweep just o'er the instep's arch,"
But all the same they're frisky
on a windy day in March.
Perhaps, since I'm a deacon,
I had oughter close my eyes
When March comes 'roun' an'
whirls o' dust arecloudin'up theskies.
But lawsl I can't help lookin'
how the wind blows out o' place
The wimmin's skirts sometimes
an' show some mighty purty lace
A peepin' out from underneath.
It does a feller good.
Ye somehow feelthere's somethin'
white an' pure 'bout womanhood
That men can't imitate.
It's somethin'more'n dignity an' starch
An' men love wimmen better
fer a windy day in March.
The Deacon.
Fashions of the Day.
The season of sackcloth and ashes 1b
upon us!
Sackcloth and ashes are not, however,
tho formidable objects that they onco
were.
Thin is a flippant, frivolous ato that
we live in, but many of ua aro clover
enough to doviso various wayH and
means whereby tho sackcloth becomes
chic and the ashes palatable
The idle days, or days idle by compari
son with tho rush of life in the swim bo
fore Lent, aro porfect breeders of fads.
Every other woman one meets !b bub
bling over with enthusiasm about her
particular pet fad. It may be Lenten
card parties; it may be Lenten musicals;
it may be Lenten sewing classes; ib may
be Lenten luncheons, dinners, suppers;
or it may be Lenten Turkish baths and
rest cures.
With tho best half of the women it is
the least.
The number of methods that women
tell you of, in strictest confidence, each
ono of which is "the very best thing"
you can do to restore your nerves that
have been shattered, or your bloom that
has been killed by the (wear and tear
that attends an overcrowded engage
ment book isastonitihing.
One woman that I know goes devoutly
to church on Ash Wednesday; then goes
promptly home and has her maid put
her to bed, and there ehe stops for a
week or ten days.
Her room is kept darkened except for
an hour or bo in the middle of the day
when tho sun is allowed to stream in.
She liveB on the plainest, simplest diet,
and has gentle massage for an hour at 0
overy night and is asleep by 10:30.
She sees no one during these ten days
but hor attendants, and bears nothing
but pleasant things, At the end ot the
rest cure she arises strong bb a young
giant and as fresh as a rose.
It is a simple treatment to follow, but
few women have the patience or deter
mination to adhere to tho rules neces
sary for its success.
Another woman has a horror of grow
ing fat; she inclines strongly toward em
bonpoint naturally, and being a bit of a
gourmando tho good things that b)io
uiits in hor round of "hocIiiI gayetioB"
during tho houboii invariably can bo hor
to put on HcbIi, which in Lontshomiikoa
it hor business to get rid of.
Lust Lent she had u grand routine.
A cup of hot water tho first thing in tho
morning after sho oponod hnr oyeH; then
hor tub of icy cold water; then miothor
cup of hot wator; thon broakfiut, which
conBistod of a mouthful of dry toiiHt, i
bit, of rare, voiy raro, steak, and coliuo
with no HUgar and vory littlo croam.
Then walk for an hour and another cup
of hot water boiling it niust bo to bo
really alllcucious; thon walk for another
hour; thou another cup of hot wator;
thon luncheon, consisting of raro roiiHt
hoof, toiiHt and moro hot wator. Her
afternoon she Bpont in a similar mannor,
with a dinner that was a ropotition of
tho luncheon with the additional luxury
of oysters.
Thoro Ib not much pleasure in this
particular Lonton fad, but it served ita
purpose admirably.
This your tho poor doar is in despair,
for she Iihb put on moro weight than
over boforo during a single soason, and
just at the momont, too, when n slondor
iiguro is an absoluto nocossity to finding
favor in tho oyos of fashion and to avoid
appoaring ridiculous in tho oyes of man-
If thoro iB a moro distressingly ludi
croua sight than n fat woman in tbo
clingy skirt wo all lovo ard aro wearing
just now I havo yot to boo it.
Well, this poor doar with tho tondoncy
toward ombonpoint has certainly grown
hopelessly hippy, and Bho was deploring
her fate to mo and shuddering at tbo
prospect of embracing her Lonton fad
again. That wan a week ago. Today
sho is radiant.
Someone has sent hor from Paris a
marvelous ointment that absorbs flesh.
Can you imagine such a thing?
It soomn, if you aro massaged with
this ointment, which does not look un
like white vaseline, wherever it is ap
plied after a few treatments tho fat
shrinks and apparently evaporates into
thin air or perhaps it is fat air!
I would not boliovo my stout friend at
first htr story savored too much of a
fairy talo but when ehe showed me two
phMograpbB of tho woman that Bent her
tho ointmont, taken "before and after"
sho bad used it, I had to be a trifle cre
dulous. I hopn it is true. What a boon
it will be to suffering humanity! Any
way, my stout little friend is going to try
it at once, so I shall soon know all about
it.
Wrinkles are tho bete noir of yet an
other woman.
Her Lent Is devoted annually to hav
ing them effaced. How she does it is a
secret that she guards jealously. All
we know is that she disappears for a few
weeks, and when she reappears the lines
on her brow, about ber eyes, and wher
ever Time and Care have laid their heavy
touch, have totally disappeared, and her
skin is as smooth as a babe's.
When I was younger I used to wonder
what was meant by the ''mysteries of
the toilette." Tubbing, doing one's
hair, and getting into one's clothes did
not seem to me in any way to border on
the mysterious. The toilette was a vory
simple affair to my mind; but I am be
ginning to appreciate that there are
mysteries deep, dark and peculiar mys
teries at that.
The dreadful weather we have been
having lately has developed another
feminine fad, but it is one that is both
sensible and healthy. Many of the smart
women may be seen any stormy day
taking tramps through enow and slush,
clad in golf skirts and 'the plainest of
cloth or fur coats and, when the sky is
clear, as smart bats as they please.
Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes, Mm. Stanford
White, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and any
number of other equally well known
women appear to such an advantage in
.iW
