Oysters-or, more properly speaking the

Are the Sexes Changing!
New York letter to San Francisco Argonaut.
1t is rather amusing to note just now that
the fashionable world displays a tendency
decidedly the reverse of that which obtained
a few years ago. Once it was proper for
men to cultivate martial bearing. They
held their heads in the air, took manly
strides, held their shoulders back and were
brisk and talkative. The proper thing in
girls at that time was the drooping and will
lowy article. 1t hadn't much appetite, and it
cultivated the habtof dropping its lids over
its large blue eyes. All this is very bad
form now. Men should droop little, carry
themselves carelessly and bend their heads
trifle forward, if the 500 specimens on
view at the hOrse-shOw are to be taken as
examples. Their clothes should not fit too
snugly, their trousers must be very wide
and always freshly ironed. so that the seams
will show, just as they do in trousers
that have just come from the tailor. From
glance at 500 Of these men it will appear
that all of them copied from the same

coats that are cutaway in front. gray trou-
sers, white Over-gaiters and vanished boots.
Add pair of brick-colored gloves, buck
horn stick and a red tie, and you have what
would appear to be absolutely correct In
New York at this particular time Of the
year at the horse show. 1t is rather diff
ficult to gain this information, for no man
seems to care for any other man and all
eyes are turned ON the women. They walk
like so many dashing dragons, with their
chins high in the air, their big eyes open to
the full limit of the law and their magnif-
cent shoulders and buSts encased in tailor
made jackets. They stare at the men with
superb Indifference and walk about as if the
world owed them homage and must render
it in spite Of everything.
The Latest OrmamemtatiOm Craze.
Miss Madge in London Truth.
You know what craze there has been
about wearing watch-cock necklaces,
bracelets, brooches, etc.? The balance
cock in watches of modern make is simply
plain piece of metal, but in the old verge
watches, made in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries, the deftest skill was
brought to bear upon this portion of the
movement. They were pierced, chased
and engraved, and being wrought by hand,
each worker followed his own devices in
the design, so that very rarely were two

so there is every excuse for the popularity
of the articles Of jewellery made of them.
But what do you think jewelers.
are doing now? They are bringing
out limitations of these, roughly finished,
and with none of the tneness or delicacy of
the originals. That is how everything be-
comes vulgarized in our degenerate times.
If possessed necklet or bracelet of real
watch cocks, should put it carefully away
until all the cheap limitations were lost and
forgotten. l actually saw the reverse of a
brown walking-dress buttoned on with
some of them the other day!
Poetic Fancies in Ladies' Hose.
From the Washington Republican.
The return to fancy hosiery this season is
very decided one, and the feet of fas-
tidious women are bedecked with designs
wrought out in beads, embroidered in
silks or realized in lace insertions. Black
and all the tones of yellow are the favorite.
The instep may have insertions of black or
white Uhantilly lace or Valenciennes, or
they may be embroidered in pattern of
moss rose or naSturtiums. Traceries Of
gold and silver bullion are also used in dec
Grating hosiery. The prices of these con-
fections de ballet range from SO to $50 per
pair. They come high, but once ON the
market, the pets of fashion must and will
have them.
Intimate Friends of the Bride.
It'd Bits.
''The bride was beautiful, I suppose, in
her dress?" the reporter asked.
Superb, sir; superb. l don't think Prin-
cess Beatrice had finer trousseau," replied
the father of the bride.
''Let me see l have the names of the
bridesmaids, groomsmen and ushers, and
oh. by the way, I forgot to ask the name of
the clergyman"
