Believes the Girls Are Able to TAX
Care of ThemseIves--A Case of Re-
VOIVer.
To this day he believes that it was loaded
and he often pauses to congratulate him
self upon his narrow escape and to ponder
over the lack of sentiment in the modern
girl. You see, he is omantic-intensely
Soulfully romantic; so when ne came to
propose to Bella he followed the traditional,
three volume novel style, went down on
his knees and SwOre that did she reject his
addresses he would first send bullet
crashing through her cold, unsympathetlc
heart and then put an end to his own
blighted existence. Q'm sure don't know
how he managed to get on his knees, for
the two were buggY-riding at the
time, but Bella insists that he did. And
she screamed and tainted? On, no! She
quietly drew a revolver from her coat
pocket and calmly remarked that if there
was to be any shooting in that neighbor-
hood she would rather like to take a hand
in it herself. Aud the way that spirited
youth Wilted was caution. He did not re-
main upon his knees for any great length
of time; on the contrary, he resumed his
normal position with much alacrity, and
fastened to make abject apologies for his
rashneSs, as he turned the horses head
toward home. Bella returned her weapon
to its place of concealment. but he didn't
look quite comfortable till after he had de-
posted her at her own gate And. as said
before. he doesn't know to this day that it
wasn't loaded.
But while will not 20 so far as to say
that all of us girls make practice of going
about with REVIEWERS in our ulster pockets,
do maintain that we are mighty sharp and
perfectly competent to take good care of
our own sweet little selves, as more than
one callOw youth has discovered.

Dainty little muffs trimmed with ribbons
and feathers accompany handsome carriage
dresses. One of these CONNECTIONS recently
noticed at matinee, was of white plush
almost covered with creamy ostrich plumeS.

One who studies them carefully from
year to year will discover that while in their
general features every fair is an exact
counterpart of every other. in their minor
details there is much variation. This
season the popular fancy cans towards
sachets, and the dainty tribes are shown on
every fair table in endless variety. Last
year. If you will remember. those hide0uS
upholstered rolling pins and key-bOards
were most in demand.

But, speaking of fairs, 1 suppose that
the average young man never feels quite so
much ike sinking through the floor and
vanishing out of sight as when the maiden
whom he has been long trying to impress
hi oh, - ii, In
means to take three or four chances on that
lovely pickle dish, and he is keenly alive TO
the fact that he hasn't nickel with which
to bless himself.

The recent mild weather must be held re-
sponsible for many incongruties in dress.
The other Gay observed one lady COM
placently saunrering down Wabasha street
enveoped in an immense fur trimmed
wrap, with her hands enceased in silk
mits and her complexion shielded from the
sunlight by a lace trimmed parasol.
~
We are going in tremendously for ladies'
receptions and with two or three of these
pleasant affairs every week, we feel that
we are becoming quite too metropolitan,
and that our society is at last acquiring
tone.

The very prettiest evening gowns thus
far seen are of that most artistic of all ma
terialS China crepe, in delicious ivory tintS.

A young lady of wide and varied expe-
rience declares that it is perfectly easy to
manage men, and, proceeding to elucidate,
she says that there are but two methods
of treatment: You must either let fellow
plainly see that you feel yourself infin-
itely above him, that you are superlatively
Indifferent concerning him and don't care
rap whether or not you ever put your
two eyes on him, snub him, slight him. and
sit down upon him at every opportunity;
or else you must make him be-
lieve that you regard him as the sweetest.
dearest and most charming Great
ure on earth, and that he is the wisest and
you are the silliest thing in all creation; in
short, you must either act as a tonic or a
sugar plum, and if one plan fails the other
is bound 10 succeed. | remarked to this
wise female that there was a remote posi-
biity Of selecting the wrong method. and
trying to work off the sugar plum on the
man who required the tonic. but she
promptly replied that in such case it was
easy enough to reverse ones mode of pro-
cedure, and had nothing more to say.
So
Last year it was silk null. This season
it is valenciennes lace that is particularly
affected by the sweet debutantes and dear
bridesmaids.

And indeed. three-fonrths of the new
party frocks are garntured with white lace.
TNere are lace draperies, and lace flowers,
and lace fichus, and lace sleeves. till the
bare thought of lace is positively nauseat-
