A New York Preacher.

A New York preacher, in a sermon to
young ladies, repeated a few of the
pungent things that had been said about
their sex. One writer he quoted as the
author of the disrespectful proverb:
"There were only two good women.
One is dead and the other was never
found" The Chinese say that woman's
tongue is her sword, and she never lets
it rest. DR.. Payson wrote: ga welded
man is like a bird with a broken wing.
He may futter, but he never can fly"
Among the Amazonians candidates for
nuptial honors had their hands tied in a
paper bag filed with fire ants. If they
survived the painful ordeal they were
considered fitted for the trials of matri-
mony. The following are some of the
pertinent SMILES employed: Woman
is like the snail because she loves her
own house best; and she is unlike the
snail, who carries all he possesses upon
his back. She is like an echo, which
speaks when spoken to, and unlike the
echo, which always has the last word.
She is like the town clock, which per-
forms its work regularly, and on time,
and unlike it because her voice is not
heard all over the city,"

The "Don't-You-Know" Young Man.

One of the most conspicuous objects
in certain circles of society at the PIES.
emit time is the "Don't you know" young
man. He ranks along with the youth
who carries his coat on his arm and
smokes cigarettes on the back platforms
of street cars. IF you meet him in the
morning he greets you by remarkng:
"This is a fine day, don't you know"
His last salutation at nights to the effect
that he wishes you ga very good even
ing, don't you know" He goes down
on Third street just before noon and tells
his broker to "buy me some Wabash,
don't you know" It matters moi where
he goes, his "don't you know" goes
with him. He beams down upon his
partner at the ball and as he places his
arm around the butterfy's waist, re-
marks "Im very fond of waltzing,
don't you know" He bows graclously
to his friend in the pew behind him
after service is oyer on Sunday and
thinks "the sermon was rather tedious,
don't you know" When his fond parents
conclude it is about time he honors socl-
ETY. and some millionaire's daughter by
getting married he breaches the matter
to the girl in question by informing her
that 81 love you, don't you know"
Everybody knows him by his "don't
you know" and those who are sensible
of the ludicrous, as we'll az ridiculous,
have his expression for a by-word and
get lots of fun out of him. But he is
| obllvious to it all. He deems his phrase
very neat and very fashionable and
would not drop it for the world, don't
you know" So he dons his stitched
backed gloves, twirls his natty little
cane, and starts out everyday to see what
is "going on down town, don't you
know" He is one of the features of
the times and must be recognized in any
summary of the oddities of humanity.
The "don't-you-know" young man must
be heard to be appreciated, and he is
sure to be appreciated, in n way or
another, when he is heard. For he is a
character. "don't you know. Penn

Grooming the hair.

Atlength it appears, says an exchange,
that a radical change in the fashion OF
arranging woman's greatest glory, her
hair, is really to take place. We hear
rumors of impending innovation from
headquarters = in other words, from
Paris. 1t is probable, though, that they
will here be simply voices in the air and
nothing more for some time still. First,
because a new fashion never gets fairly
started with us until it is almost an old
one on the other side (this statement
may sound both unfair and unpleasant,
but it is literally exact, nevertheless),
and her become the close, prim, de-
mure little couture a FAnglaise which
is now worn, and has been for the past
two years or more, is exceptionally
suited to the small, delicate head and
slim face of the average American
woman. 1t is not SO well suited to the
piquant, irregular-featured "minors" OF
the Parisieanes, however. Therefore
they have begun to adopt a loosen, softer,
less severe style of couture.
The hair will, during the winter, it
seems, be worn lower on the neck In
coils, braids, or curls, and in the even
ing, when flowers are added, they Will
be mounted in trailing sprays and gar
lands, to fall gracely on the said coils,
braids, or curls. The latter (the curls)
are apparently destined again to most
especial favor. And there have been re-
Gently a number of young ladies seen
abroad with their hair cropped short
like a boys, and curled in fluffy rings
all over the head, after that same fashion
so very much in vogue about ten years
ago.

deniably becoming couture, this. But
as to its being generally becoming, or
even remotely ,so-that is not, assuredly.
A blonde, rather small and delicate and
vivacious, with ayes soft, silky hair, and
rather a child-like face, perhaps. looks
most charming with her sunny halo OF
clustering rings, quite a cherub, and
probably ten years younger than she Is.
We knew a Polish lady some few
years ago, with a pretty, pale, spiritu-
ellie face, sh-blonde hair, dark-brown
eyes, and a mole on her left cheek, who
had adopted this coIfure, with a black
velvet and blue ribbon passed across the
front occasionally, and it suited her to
absolute perfection. But then there are
hosts of women who, after they have
made the sacrifice of hair for a passing
of fashion, look anything but well with
cropped and curly heads-in fact. look
quite decidedly the opposite from well
And it is no small sacrifice for a woman
with a fine suit of hair to have it cut off
either. The result should pay very wei
to make the performance at all satisfac
tory. It is one of those cases in which
, the immortal Shakespeare's counsel tx
, look before we leap may be ponderet
with good effect.
