CANADIAN GIRLS.
Their Shortcomings When Conn
pared With American Charmers.

''Having good time? Well, 1 should
think so!'' enthusiastically remarked a fair
compatriot whom | met at Burlington
Beach, London, Can. IF an American
girl wants to have thoroughly good time,
let her come to Canadian watering place
the men all fall in love with her and all
the women envy her. What more could
any girl ask for?
You'd be surprised" she continued, re-
flectively, sat the views people here have
about American girls. At first l used to
be dreadfullY indignant. but now it only
amuses me to know that with the women
'Amercan'-which they use as an adiee-
tive-means fashionable but FAST and
with the men, we'll, dangerous but delight
full
Il assure you, most Canadian men con-
slider flirting with an American girl sort
of fascinating wickednesS, and, as for the
women, one of them, speaking of me the
other day to mutual friend and intending
to be complimentary, said: 'She'san Amer
lean, but she's a thorough lady,
Perhaps you don't know that Canadian
girls are very strictly chaperoned? They
are not allowed, poor things, to go boating
or driving or walking or anything without
chaperon.
Now, we do these things here just as
we should at home, and, of course, the
mammas are as Mortified as their sons are
delighted.
Then, clothes-why, I suppose my sister
| and l. have three times as many frocks as
most of the girls here, and yet we have no
more than other people have at home. Not
one of our friends would dream of going
away for the summer without at least six or
eight light dresses. Now, Canadian girl
thinks herself well off if SIZE has three and
such dresses, too! The dowdiest affairs you
can imagine. Perhaps two out of the three
will be white lawns. the skirts of which are
invariably too long behind and too short in
front, while the third is nearly certain to be
cream nuns yelling made in the style of
two summers ago. Our talor-made white
tiannels were revelation to this place.
1--we heard variety of opinions lately
about American women's feet, and why they
ere SO much smaller than Englshwomen's

Two Famou. Beauties.

The st. Louis Republican,: The writer
once accompanied Nellie Hazeltine in a
visit to Adelaide Nelson, who was found
surrounded by bevy of callers. She re-
ceived the st. Louis beauty, who was al
ready personally known to her, most
warmly, and holding her hand, said in a
low tone, ''Stay until these people are
gone, please" and the belle staid. Hardly
had Nelson bowed the last caller out of the
reception-room before she bounded to the
sofa where our home beauty was seated,
and, selzing both hands,, she said: Il
want to look deep into your eyes, for men
tell me here that mine are Like yours, and
you know men read us through our eyes,"
And those to sat, half laughing, and gaZed
for minute into each others eyes-such
glorious eyes as both proved-with looks
that had all the earnest innocence of two
children who seek for wells" in each
others eyes. Il only see that yours are
the most beautiful orbs l ever looked into, :"
said Nellie at the end of a minute. "a nd

son, and they relaxed their regards as
the French would say, but seemed to have

life
Lovely girls and matrons may be seen in

and greenhouses, putting the fairest bios
SONS into little basket which is suspended
from the arms by bright satin ribbon
This pleasant task is generally performed
by one of the daughters of the house. who
also arrangeS the flowers in artistic bowls
and vases.
The prevailing costume for garden work
this summer is OF fine cotton Or linen
goods with pretty cape of silk or wool to
protect the shoulders from the sun, a broad
brlmmed straw hat garlapded with flow
ers, dainty apron of lace and muslin, and
a long pair of gauntlet gloves.
A pretty design is shown in our cut. The
dress of pink and white lawn is trimmed
with Valenc1ennes lace and bows of pink
satin ribbon, the shoulder cape is of white
China silk, the hat of white rustic straw
with velvet facing and wreath of delicate
pink blossoms. and the apron fine white
Swiss and cottage lace. When the apron
and hat are removed the costume is q very
appropriate one for breakfast.
Garden dresses entirely of one color,
such as white, baby blue, or sea-green are
fashionable. The hats are very large,
made OF leghorn and loaded with feathers
or flowers, the skirts just escape the ground
and are finished by deep hem.
FichHs of lace and ribbon, broad silken
sashes, OXferd-ties and other expensive
trifles to many of the toilets make them as
costly as those worn only in the ballroom.

One OF the artisans at the japanese vii
lage was astonished the other DAY upon
being asked by a lady if he would make
for her handsomely ornamented counter
felt of a Japanese broadaxe. The artless
Jap replied that he would, and thereupon
made memoranda of the lady's wishes, as
she gave him such a large collection of
measurements and ideas out of her pretty
head that he wondered where she had kept
them all In day or two the axe was
finished, and very pretty thing it was, too.
The bill was also neat and nice. but the
lady paid it without word of complaint,
and proudly bore her prize away, cruelty
refusing to satisfy the Jap's burning curl
osity concerning the purpose for which the
article was intended. The Hera Id,

Advice to Girls.

Omaha World: Do not 'choose all op-
posite." You will be opposite enough in
time.
Take your mothers advice on the ques-
ton of a husband, provided she took her
mothers.
Either put your foot down ON his cigar
before marriage or make up your mind to
keep quiet about it afterwards.
Learn to sew and cook if you can, but
above all things learn to keep still and look
sweet when mad enough to take the roof
off
See and hear all the plays, operas and
concerts you can during the engagement.
Bad weather is apt to interfere after mar
rage.
When furnishing house make sure of
an easy-chair, foot-rest, an open-grate
and corn-popper, if you would enjoy the
bliss of matrimony to the full
Don's ask your brother about the per-
sonal habits of a sutton. He can't tell
enough to matter without giving himself
away, and he won't do that.
Do not be offended when his sister invol-
unfairly wonders what any woman of
taste can see in him to admire. Remem-
Der how you hate your own brother.
Ii he asks if you can sew on buttons,
answer No" A man who has not at
some time or other been obliged to sew on
his own buttons lacks very necessary part
of life's discipline.

What charming grace!
How fair her face!
Her smiles are like the dawn.

Round and round she goes,

The Coming ColOrs.


Navy blue and brown will be the eolors
most generally worn next season. This is
plainly shown in the importatienS of cloths,
velvets and other dress goods, in dress
trimmings and all millinery goods, With
the purplish marine-blueS cardinal-red will
be restored for contrasts, while the brighter
poppy-reds will be used with the new olives.
which have more green than brownish and
yellow-tinted olive shades of last year.
Black will be restored to the favor it for
merly had for young and old alike, and
which it has never really lost with rich wo-
men who can afford to wear the costliest
black fabrics. The new blue shades are
Salammbo, and Serpente, and canard, with
gray and green tints III them, yet entirely
different from the peacock blues, or the
cadet gray blue of past seasons.
The new browns are rosewood
and mure (mulberry) for very
darker shades, with lighter capu-
cine cafe and maroon tints, while for the
red-browns are Etruscan and Acajou or ma
hogaDy. Dahlia and heliotrope and plum
shades are in great favor with French
women, and will make refined costumes of
cloth or velvet, while for lighter dresses
for the house are Ophelia and mauve shades
OF cashmeres, with softly repped faille OF
velvet in combination. Gobelin is another
name given to the Salammbo blue tnts.
Suede, salmon. corn and rose are the pale
shades most seen, while there are various
shades OF green-chartreuse pistache and
moSs-with dull vieuX rouge and Other
more vivid red shades already noted.
