Can you tell ME if anything but those
horrid pointed shoes will be WORN this
summer. They do pinch my feet so ua-
mercifully, really can't think of a single
thing when have them on but the time
when shall get them OFF,
Truly yours,
NELLIE F.
Nellie: The following has Just been
taken from a fashion journal: street
shoes for early spring have cloth tops to
match the color Of the dress, and tips of
patent leather, they are wider in the sole,
too, and those who have been wearing the
pointed shoes of The winter will hail their
advent with joy"

would like to have YOU tell me why il
is that aD attractive widow residing in this
city seems 10 prefer certain widower TO
myself. am probably younger than he,
have a better address. more money, no in
cumbrances, better shaped limbs, smaller
foot and, without egOtism, am seemingly a
description which any woman OF taste
would not call bitter dose.
Respectfully, DR.. -.
DIR You do not say that you are a
bachelor, but, from the tenor of Your nnte,
should imagine you TO be, and this being
the case, it is probable that il is ON the score
of experience that the widower is more
successful than yourself Don't let him
win in the race. Put your small foot"
forward and mex. winter your may have a
companion by your ireside that will make
you realize what the scriptural assertion
meant when it said ut is rot good for
man In be alone"

Suppose young lady should De invited
to go to the theater by young gentle man
and then he should fail to appear in time
and she should be compelled to remain at
home, do you think she ought to notice
him again, or ought she TO just wait for an
opportunity to pay him of in his own
coin? Yours.
ANNA and KATE.
Anna and Kate-It was hard mes indeed
for the young gentleman to fail in fulfilling
his engagement with the young lady, mas
much as she was COM PEELED to stay at home,
but perhaps she had better demand an ex
PLANTATION from him. 1t might be possible
| that his tailor had trusted him once too
often and would not let him have his new
suit or it might be that his laundress didn't

ladies have no idea how many tribulations
their adOrers have to undergo and they are
never half considerable enough for them. Ii a
gentleman tails to pay his devoirs,n no matter
what the provocatioD, he Is at once termesf
mo gentleman" aud If he keeps his fair
one waiting he is put down for a genuine
boor. The young lady does not think how
often she has kept hun waiting In the par
\ l. -. hal, h1r ali
arranged her bangs, put on an extra rib
bon, etc. She doesn't think that II only
takes q very short time to tire man ont
at strumming on the piano, studying the
home made paintings and looking over the
family photograph album, wherein the
auuts and uucles and cousins all look as
alike IS two peas, with the one difference,
that the uncles wear pantalOons and huge
necktie, and the aunts and cousins wear
dresses, wide collars and bag breastpins ami
have their lace mitlened hands crossed In
fir mt of 'em. Truly it takes but short time,
and yet when the young lady comes in like
full rugged ship, she expects TO find the
young man as serene as a May morning.
Ii is we'll she cannot see what burning
volcano is h dden in his breast, however.
At ali events you will see by this that it is
| petter 10 let the young niaH "oTA out niS
own salvation and for once try TO pardon
his failure to fulfill his engagement.
There is no hing ON this wide, wide earth,
But some day we shall bid farewell :;
Nothing but what must fall or fade
Though loved far more than tongue can tell.
We hold our treasures close and fast,

The sweetest voice ear over heard

In New York 10000 women and girls
support themselves by their own labor,
and SO,OOO ether women maintain them
selves and husbands by manual labor and
brain work.-Exchange.
Men need never despair, there is always
some wo.aan who is willing and able to
support them, the above proves the fact
conclusively, and while we feel certain
sympathy for idle men, yet after all it
must be great comfort to 60 home at
meal time and find something wherewith
to console the empty stomach and not have
| to bring about that result by individual
effort. Truly this is an age of progression
! and men will soon have as good time as
anybody.
