The American Girl Abroad.

We were calling on 'The Fuchsia''
the other day, says the London Truth,
and, apropos of gowns fitting, she told
us that in New York some celebrated
milliner has entire lay figures or dunn
mics which by means Of innumerable
springs or wires. are made to expand
or contract until they become the ideal
lied figure Of the lady to be fitted.
Please note the word "idealized," for it
sometimes means great deal. The
good people who constructed Hercules
from the size and shape of his foot per-
formed simple feat as compared with
the miracle constantly worked (accord-
ing to The Fuchsia'') by this milliner,
who erects the dress upon one of these
dummies, developing step by step each
fold and point and turn. Fancy dunn
my that could be expanded to the dimen-
sions of a Fanny Davenport, or con-
tracted to the size of Nellie Farren!

dress-stands of the exact size of their
own figures. and precisely Of their own
measurements in every respect. They
are delightful things, since they obviate
the necessity for the excessively firing
process Of trying on, and they are Of
immense assistance TO ones maid. stThe

necessity of having chaperon '.in

why in the world SO many of them came
SO constantly to London and Paris.

more to their taste. IF I must have a

take care to have her mlzzled. Mind,
girls, that you look out a picturesque

to scare away my friends, nor hand
some enough to distract my admirers .
Do you know anyone who would suit,
my dear? 1t is rumored that .'The Flu

she thought there were far more dukes

New upholstery for drawing rooms
shows very little woodwork, the chairs
and lounges being entirely covered with

Tides are to be superseded by small
squares of lace or muslin, or even dark
or material, securely fastened into the

Little crochet boats, with silken sails,
have taken the place of the little auted
paper dishes in which fruits were form

The most stylish carpets and those

are in dark shades and have small fig

Bill Mes Engagement Broken.

Z y "
II have just received q letter from,
my friend Bill Nye. Of the Laramie
City boomerang, wherein he informs
me that he is engaged to the beautiful
and accomplished Lydia E. Pinkham Of
vegetable Compound fame, and that
the wedding will take place on next
Christmas. 10 be sure l am expected
atthe wedding. and I'll be on hand if
can secure a clean shirt BY that time,
and the roads amt too bad. But am
somewhat at y loss what to get rs a
suitable present, as Bill informs me in
q postscript TO his letter, that gifts of
bibles, albums, nickel-plated pickle
dishes, chromos with frames, and the
like, will not be in order, as it is utterly
impossible to pawn articles of this kind
IN Laramie City. The Bohenlian.''
we are sorry that the above letter,
which we dashed off in q careless mo-
mcnt. has been placed before the pub
lie, as later developments have entirely
changed the aspect of the matter, the
engagement between ourself and Lydia
having been rudely broken by the young
lady herself. She has returned the soil.
taire filed ring, and henceforth we can
be nothing more to each other than
friends. The promise which babe fair
to yield SO much JOY in the future, has
been ruthlessly yanked asunder, and
two young hearts must bleed through
the coming years: Far be it from us 10
say aught that would reflect upon the
record of Miss Pinkham. It would
only imperil her chances in the future
and deny her the sweet satisfaction of
gathering in another guileless sucker
like us. The truth, however, can not
be evaded that Lydia is no longer
young. She is now id the sere and sal
low leaf. The gurgle Of girlhood and
the romPing, careless grace of her
childhood are matters of ancient history
alone. n =. 4 =
We might 60 on and tell how one
thing brought on another till the quar-
rel occurred. and hot words and 81, as u
sault and battery led to this estrange-
ment, but we will not do it. 1t would
be wrong for q great, strong man to
take advantage of his strength and the
public press to speak disparagingly of a
young thing like Lyd. No matter how
unreasonably she may have treated us,
we are dumb and silent on this point.
Journalists who have been invited and
have purchased costly wedding pres
ents may ship The presents by express
prepaid, and we will accept them, and
struggle along with our first great heart
trouble, while Lydia goes on in her
mad career. -Layansie boomerang.
