The muff has peculiar fascination for
the feminine mind, but my lady has discOy-

''People nowadays" says a leading
dealer, think they can't keep warm unless
they are wrapped in furs. Seal, mink.

So
He was young. very young and he was
madly, desperately i'm love. Separated from
her by cruel space, what comfort had he
but the inditing of endless epistles to the
object of his affections? (0h, L understand
his feelings perfectly; / am not one of those
worldly-wise individuals who Scoff and
sneer and talk about spring chickens and
veal whenever anything is said about first
love.) And so he wrote. He spent hours
i'm writing and wasn't at all discouraged by
the fact that no response was made to the
outpourings of his heart. He attributed
the silence of the damSel to shyness and
the neglect of pOstoffice clerks. and
his bills for fine stationery and fancy sealing
wax were something enormous. At last he
received postal card. Oh, joyi She had
at last written. For minute he Toasted
his eyes upon the superscriptiOn, then
turned it. and what do you think he read?
Simply this. nothing more: Don't poster
me with any more of your letters" Well,
as / said before, have an extremely SYM
pathetic nature, so will draw a veil over
his wounded feelings. How did the story
get out? Oh, he gave himself away, man
fashion, his desire for sympathy overcom-
ing his fear of ridicule.
So
1t is a gallant member of st. Georges
SnOwshOe club who says that he feels all
right when the young ladies conine their
attention TO the upper portion of his anat-
omy. but that he does hate to have them
look at his lower eXtremities, every critical
glance in that direction, indeed. causing
cold chills to creep up his spinal column.

But 1 will never tell what uniform is
worn by that young man. who, in a tit of
Observation-Disclosures the other night, put on
his stockings over his moccasins. and never
discovered his mistake till his attention was
called to the condition of his feet by some
of his astonished companions.

Young Mr.. De We're has received another
awful shock to his nervous system. Yes.
and it happened in this way. He was dane
ing Sir Rodger de Coverly at little party,
and his cuff button caught in the fair friZ-
yes of a charming young lady who was
passing under his outstretched arm. Now
cuff button may catch in a young lady's
hair without serious results, provided the
hair grows on the mead of the wearer. But
this didn't. 1t was fastened ON with a bit
of elastic. 1t came off. He attempted to
repair the damage he had Occasioned. and
caused the collapse of the couture. His re-
covery is considered doubtful.
A young lady member of one of the skat-

A plain, full skirt and short jacket is
worn by the Eastern girl who INDUCES In

1t is very funny TO see lot of women
attempt to adopt uniform Every one OF
them has her own ideal of beauty, and moi
one will consent to sacrifice her individual
, taste. Send dozen suits that are precisely
alike to dozen different females and an
extra bow will be tackled on one. and more
buttons added to another, and hood sewed
on third. so that every mothers daughter
of the dozen will appear in a style Of hel
own.
The happiest girl just now is the one
whose cheeks are turned by the cold TO a
lovely rose tint, while her nose and chr
retain their ordinary color. and she observe:
with great contentment of spirit that the
majority of her companions turn purple a:
to cheeks and crimson as to noses under the
breath of the north winds.
