THAI any one cares to dance when tAe
thermoneter is among the nineties, cannot
be aught lat wonder to the vast majority
! of folks who are passing the heated days
with q beck of Arctic explorations and a
palm leaf fan, as congenial companions
But really there were few people who got
ND little impsoBptu dances last week and all
OF them survive to dance another day. A
few more people played cards, some more
PLAYED base ball while others looked on, but
the week was all in all, very quiet one in
social circles.

Mr.. REGISTER, bevy of dsmsels were
wondering Just why even the most amisble
and fascinating members of the lordly sex
do so hate and sbhor the comfortable Moth.
er Hubbard. Each young woman gave in
her experience with regard to her own, and,
incidentally, some other girls, brother for
that delightful garment, and now we would
really like to know the why and wherefore
of this. Can ii be possible that it is envy,
pure envy that we should be 30 comfortable
when they are eneased in cloth and wad.

Here is new idea for the artistic maid
ems of the town. 1t is for q party Of these
amateur artists to wander forth at morn or
sunset for the purpose Of sketching the
beauties OF nature-ofcourse they can drive,
if they please, but the object of the ordinary
sketching party is q two.fold one for you
know it is lawfully English" and, of course,
awfully fashionable, to be able to boast OF
how many miles you can walk. But girls,
one thing; if you do walk, be careful to
compare notes as to the distance, before
you do any boasting lest each tell different
tale and so give yourselves away as did a
masculine fishing party. But really, these
sketchipg parties which have been so very
popular in other cities, are awfully jolly,
and it is very nice to be able to exhibit a
portfolio OF your own drawings from ma
ture" to not too critical circle of friends

Nearly all the girls have adopted the new
fashion of wearing their hair in fiat loops
or rolls on the very top Of the head; style
which is almost always becoming 10 fresh
young face. Another thing let me tell you;
the hair 80 arranged is almost always the
property of the fair wearer, not by right OF
purchase as it is almost impossible thus to
conceal he presence of those tresses which
have hair pin by way OF root We are
told that the very next departure in hair
dressing will be in imitation of that OF Miss
Cleveland, quantity of Langtrys in front
and the back cut short, but it remains to be
seen if any of our girls will sacrifice fine
suit of hair even to look lust like the Pres
idents sister"

The very newest style in crazy patchwork
is the autograph portiere which combines
two "crazes" which have come nigh to ELL
ing the lunatic asy'ums with the friends of
the people who beg for patches and auto
graphs. Well, several OF these unique por.
tIeres. have recently been made. They con-
sist of very small patches on each of which
an autograph is displayed Portieres OF this
style are generally hung in bedrooms where
they can be constantly seen and admired
by the proud maker thereof. But I'm afraid
this new fad will be sorry news to the dear
BOYS who had hoped now to be allowed to
wear their neckties until they were soiled.

Have you ever been to a Barge partyY
No. Then let me tell you that they are
quite "the thing" in other river cities. I'm
not quite sure just what barge may be,
but am quite sure that it is some kind Of
a boat, which is gayly decorated with bunt-
ing etc., and made comfortable with cush'
ions, to convey gay party down the river
on a moonlight night. And by the way the
girls think it would be ever 80 much nicer
if TIE boys would strengthen their muscles
by rowing them instead of going of selfish.
" on those horrid bicycles but, of course,
they only whisper this, so I'm telling you in
strict confidence.

As the season advances the girls are man.
ifestipg fondness for more unusual colors
than the conventional red, blue and pink.
A great many Of them are now wearing
pale green or some of the various shades OF
yellow which are very becoming to the
girls who possess a fine complexion
though goodness knows its easy enough to
get one If you want it. Wide surah sashes in
-ither of these colors are very pretty sddi-
ion to white dresses, while ribbon of the
zane shade tied close at the throat and
knot of daisies at the waist, makes pretty
girl just look good enough to eat-ice
cream.
Picnics have been very numerous, so
UGH so that some of the girls will soon be
as much sunburned as member of base
ball team. But do you know that picnic
parties are not fishing as much this year as
usual, and I'll :ell you why. Simply be.
cause the boys will make such unpleasant
remarks with regard to the girls talking 30
much that they scare all the fish for miles
around. These remarks are calculated to Gre
ate GOODNESS (you might think any kind Of
GOODNESS pleasant in weather like that OF
last week, but you're wrong.) So the fish
ing tackle is generally left at home whereit
can do no harm.

Strange, is it not, how often the styles Of
household decoration have CHANGED in the
last few years2 At ore time everything was
japanese, and the Wheeling matron lost
sleerr . nights trying to devise some new
method of arranging fans or parasols. Later
they were all torn down, while she ruined
her eyesight and temper working over high
art fancy work in asthetic shades. Now the
mania runs to heavy drsperies, stained nuurs
and handsome rugs. Queer-shsped cabinets
filled with still more oddly shaped china or
pottery, l should say, beautiful painted or
embroidered screens, and indeed as many
odd and beautiful objects of art as posi-
bic, each housekeeper striving with
all her might to make her collection differ
ent from that Of her neighbor. And with
