Fashionable women who once -have
an acknowledged position can do pretty
much as they like. That is, they can
deviate from conventional ideas and
habits of life without losing cast, and be
a law unto themselves as long as what
they elect to do is merely an eccentrici
ty of taste.
When Mrs. Jack Smart announced
that she was tired of renting a cottage
at a watering place and intended keep
ing her home open all summer, and that
she and her daughters would practically
paes the season in town, her friends de
clared that there wbb no reason why she
Bhould not suit herself. In fact, the wo
men applauded the idea when they
found a luncheon table always attract
ively spread with cold dainties in her
large, darkened dining room, cooled
with electric fans, when they ran up to
town for a day's shopping. The men,
who were obliged to spend the week in
Wall street, were welcomed to dinner,
and were sure of finding cooling drinks
on her sideboard during the evening,
and a comfortable cushion on the front
steps. Here Mrs. Jack and her pretty
daughters held a small court during
the long, hot evenings.
"Yes, 1 am enjoying it all immensely,"
paid Mrs. Jack, in answer to the inqui
ries of a writer in the New York Trib
une. "It is so entirely novel, don't you
know! ' In the way of outdoor life we
have automobiling, yachting, driving
and riding in the park. During the hot
part of the day we wear the thinnest
wrappers and read novels by the electric
fans which'1 keep ub perfectly cool. In
the evening, after five o'clock, we see
men galore. Jack is perfectly delighted,
or at least has the grace to Bay he is.
As for the girls and myself, we are hav
ing a beautiful time. Of course, under
the circumstances, Milly and Betty are
great belles; and between you and I it
looks as if our summer in town would
bear far-reaching results for both of
them!"
One of the conspicuous features of
the vacation and touring season, now in
its prime, is the ubiquitous illustrated
post card.
Confined at tiret almost wholly to
Europe, there is now hardly a village in
the United States at which a summer
visitor is. likely to stop, that has not its
representative postal. Convenience no
less than beauty commends these souve
nirs, for a correspondence while away
from home often becomes burdensome.
Travelers have begun to discover that
friends will be satisfied with this pretty
remembrance which informs them of
the writer's whereabouts at the cost of
only a moment's effort.
The sending of these cards from Eu
rope is particularly popular; and in this
country the practice of collecting and
preserving them is one of the season's
fads.
Science is trying to prove that moon
light is more fatal to the complexion
than sunlight, and in Paris they are
selling little moonshades made of a
double thickness of moueseline de soie
with a light fringe, the handles of which
fold back like those of our grandmoth
er's tme.
It is tho generally accepted opinion
that the best form of speech is that
which iB free from local pronunciation.
Many words in ubo in London are puz
zling to Americans, declares the Detroit
Free Press.
The writer remembers that when in
London a few years ago she wished to
purchase some canton flannel. In a
dozen different Btores she asked for tho
goods, but all the clerks declared they
bad never heard of such material as she
vainly endeavored to describe.
Returning to the hotel she met an
American friend who had lived many
years in London, and told her or her
fruitless search in the London Btores.
"Of course, my dear,'' said her friend,
"the clerks would never imagine what
you wanted; try again and ask for
'swan's down calico.' Be sure and ask
for a reel instead of a spool of cotton,
and if you want some white muBlin ask
for calico, and if you need calico, Bay
print. You will And, with all your care
fully trained speech, that an American
in London betrays his nationality by
using different words, and only years of
residence in England can eradicate
Americanisms."
"Yes," I replied, "I know how droll
English forms of speech sometimes are.
Last night T .came home from a long
drive quite chilled through. The host
ess met me in the hall and said, '0, my
dear, I fear you are starved!'
"Oh, no," I answered; "I am not very
hungry."
I naturally imagined the word
"starved" meant a hungry condition.
My friend laughed merrily. "I meant
aren't you cold?" she said. Ji
Since then I have made out a list of
words in use in English society, and
now I manage to make myself understood."
