As spokeswoman for some Of the othe.
girls, want to tell you, Mr.. EssIsIER, tess
when they glance into the pate glass sin'
dovs of stores and offices, they are not LOOK
mo for masculine friends who ecngfegste
tb~erein-neither are they always admiring
the goods displayed there. That IL, It you
must know, they serve as excellens mffIors
and each girl wants to make assurance
doubly sure that her gown hangs grseetuAy
ard her bangs are exact limitations o. those
worn BY the other girls-and Skye terriers.
But / tell You, it does make q young woman
mad to glance into one Of these impromPtu
mirrors, give her skirts q shake, her bangso

masculine face and o hand complacentiy

dear. nice Mr.. REGISTER, assure the boys
that the girls are merely admiring them
selves, and then the procession Will move Oh

The pretty girls and giddy boys of the
Younger set are having a very pleasant
| summer. Mr.. II. LIE Moyne Hupp gave
| them q delightful reception on Monday
evening, and Miss Florence Alt was the
| graceful hostess at another pleasant little
| affair on Thursday evening. Picnics, most
" at the Park, have been very numerous
this week. With one exception they have

Girls, it is no longer good form to allow .
gentleman who walks with you to carry
your parasol over you. 1t never was safe
anyhow, for masculine fingers are death
and destruction to trail handles. Few men
there are, too, who can carry o parasol 30
that it keeps the sun off you, and these
accomplished ones generally hold it so low
that even your bangs are hidden and your
bosom enemy might pass and never know
that you have Oh q new hat above them.
Young man, a word of advice to you.
When you take o young woman out for an
evening stroll, don't, when you bring her
back, attempt to get paid for your ice

| or play for you. For she will very much OBJ.

when the night air has turned her pretty
Langtrys into limp strings Of hair, which

their expression while she sings a tender
sentimental ditty. Oh, no, my child, make
some of the music first. No song no cream
or words to that effect.

All through the larger cities there is q
rage for The mandolin and banjo, many
ladies who have pretty "parlor voices pre-
ferring to accompany themselves on one
of these Instruments. So far the
rage has not infected many Whselingites,
though nearly every girl in town plays the
piano and one or two the violin. Would it
| not be a nice idea to get up q mandolin and
| banjo club and let the members OF il do
missionary work in amusing their friends2
mentioned in my last effu,ion the fact
that girls IS base ball experts are not o
success, and at least one young woman has
expressed her thanks, almost with tears as.
suripg me that she was $50 relieved to
know that the athlete girls didn't understand
any more than she did, for she was
afraid there was something radically
wrong with her intellect when
an apparently lucid explanation Of that
game failed to make any impression on her.
I'll tell you though what, some of the girls
are learning all about lin theory, I mean,)
and that is bicycling. Why, the other day

meant, but it showed such deep knowledge
on her part that we didn't like to show our

Where do you suppose the rage for deco.
ration is going to end2 The girls have
been painting pie plates and tin wash has.
ms for some time, they have decorated
drain pipe and potato Washers, they have
made lovely baskets out Of old straw
hats and painted pretty screens on floor
mating, they have decorated rolling pins
snd hung them up for bangle boards"
gilded bricks to hold back tie door and
covered fiat irons with plush for paper
weights, etc, have ornamented pickle jars
for umbrella stands, they have painted Gov
bells, wooden spoons and clothes pins, and
goodness knows but what some of them
will yet turn their old shoes into things of
beauty.

Do you know that not only ia it now fash.
iopable TO make your Christian name as
long as possible, but It is in order to follow
out some new method of spelling the same,
as, for instance, the Katie of q few years
ago now signs her name "Katheyn." MARY
a." il Margarine" or MAJ" is known a.
Mae" "Helen" should be written "Helyn,"
while Maria" is digni6ed by adding an "b"
to it, which letter is now taken from Sara"
Lille" tormerly Lily prefers you to call
her "Liiss." So. girls, you had
better remark your handkerchiefs
and practice signing your names
in the new way lest somebody accuse you:of
the awful crime Of "being real fashioned"
