depths of hand-painted dream. Bright
winged angels measuring six feet
from tip to tip fit athwart
your vision and shake their plumage in
your face. You may be no fancier Of
feathers, but you suddenly become possessed
with a ten-foot ambition to reach out and
pluck handful on this occasion. You feel
as though you would like to have one
OF those bright nymphs of the
air waltz over and squat down
near you and tickle your chin
with a pin feather till your hair looks
heavenward, and your blood Frances up
and down your main arteries full of large,
red joy. There are yards of filmy stuff
caught into tucks and plaits and ruffies so
artistically draped around the faultless
form, that if Pygmalion should happen to
stroll by her looking for job. he would
Immediately send in his application. From

THE THIRD STORY.
Her waist is study for a sculptor. so
small that it can easily be encompassed by
an ordinary coat sleeve, filled with male
arm, It tapers with graceful taper up to
pair of wide shoulders. Through the
thin covering of muslin these shoulders can
be seen with the naked eye. and they look
as though they were made especially to put
on exhibition. They are not white like the
front exposure of marble slab, but
there is peach and cream complex
ion that makes mans mouth irrigate
and gives him the impression that some
body has sneaked in while he was asleep
and turned large Turkish bath loose on
him. At her throat is knotted little
bunch of white lace that contrasts charm
ingly with the mellow pink of her shout
ders, and just below rests cluster of roses
and half-blooming lilies, whose fragrance
flies up the nose of every man she passes
and makes him feel like prancing around
the block like two-year-old colt in a sec
ond-hand pasture. The flowers rise and
fall with about the same regularity Of May
wheat, and don't make any remarks about
being dissatisfied with their vocation in
life. From the upper portion of the waist
sprout couple of the prettiest, clinging-
est dimpled arms that ever lowered
around the back of mans neck.
They are plump, soft and white, tapering
from the shoulders gracefully ina south
easterly direction to brace of asSpretty
hands as everscovered the face of clock.
Taper fingers sparkling with-.j jewels. No

Several days ago a dealer in oysters re-
ceived call from an individual who an
nounced that he had been appointed a del
egate to come in from village, about fif-
teen miles away, and see about getting
oysters for church festival. ''How many
cans would you want?" asked the dealer.
swell, you may give me figures on twenty
cans" The lowest price was given him
and he took his leave. but in about fifteen
minutes he came back and said: 1--WE
been thinking it all over. We shall have
at least 200 people to feed, and you'd
better give me figures ON forty cans"
a price was made, and after doing
some figuring on his own account he OBJ
served: ''Come to figure upon the crowd,
I think we can count on at least 800. No
body out our way has had any oysters yet,
and everybody will expect to fill right up
to the brim. Let's figure ON sixty cans"
A price was made ON this number, and he
started for home promising to send in an
order within three or four days. The order
was received yesterday. 1t read: ST never
had nothing to do with church festival
before and so Of course I was liable to
make mistake. Enclosed find money to
pay for two cans, which are to be sent by
the stage driver. One Of the cans is for
me and the other for the festival. No more
at present. Good-by."

THE LADY RAMBLER

Says Many Of Her Set are Fond of
Wearing wigs.
EYES," said the smiling little hair dresser,
as she deftly trimmed my bangs, ''you would
be surprised if you knew how many of our
ladies wear wigs. Some of them who fell
victims to the short-hair craze will
doubtless discard their artificial locks
as soon as their own tresses
are long enough to dress; others with little
knack of arranging their hair, and charmed
with the convenience of the wig, and pre-
fer not to lay it aside; still others will wear
anything that is little out of
the common. you know. You will
occasionally find woman who
buys a wig to match the tresses with which
nature adorned her, but the average female
is confident that she can improve on nature.
Yes. woman always likes.to see herself in
fair hair, though Pm sure I don't know
why. No, we never attempt to influence
lady in her choice of a wig. If woman
is determined to make guy of herself there
is no stopping her, and if she is pleased
what does it matter that her opinion is not
shared by the rest of the community"

A twenty-five cent restaurant dinner
never seems so good to man as in retro

his wife and endeavoring to convince the
partner Of his joys that the household ex-
penses are just twice what they should be.

Now that bangle bracelets are considered
vulgar and bangle pins have become so
dreadfully common, we girls hang all the
jingling ornaments that we can obtain, up
on the fob or Queen Anne watch chains
that we affect.
And by the way, Queen Anne chain
of antique silver with several medallions of
the same metal attached, is awfully good
form.
Not few of our self-supporting women.
/ am told. are specializing in land, and their
investments are made cautiously and
shrewdly. The pretty school ma'ams.
especially, are going in for this sort of thing,
fact that our youths matrimonially in
cIined had better note.
But some of our society ladies are in such
an awful hole They form among them
selves a little clique and have
the most select tea-parties at each
others houses where no one who writes her
name without Won is admitted and some
how or other an account of these social
gatherings has crept into the society col
umn of one Of our daily papers. Not that the
ladies themselves are exercised over this pub
licity. bless your heart. No! But their
husbands are ON thsir dignity. and the best
part OF it is that every man is dead certain
that his wife did't give the thing away. Ii
the guilty party can be found she is to be
boycotted, so the ladies are extremely quiet
but dreadfully scared.

And st. Paul people by the way, are

keep everything out of the hands of the So

benefit of the public.

Yes, we women may occasionally evade
the truth and twist and turn and double to
get ourselves out Of scrape, but when it
comes down to bare faced, gratuitOuS lying
the men walk right away from us and leave
us out of sight. Even when the truth
would better answer every purpose man
will lie from principle, and walk
away chuckling with delight at having so
deceived his female friends and relations.
Therefore, Henrietta. if the gentleman of
whom you speak assured you that you
were his only friend and that he was on
speaking terms with no other of your sex
except the maid, you may depend
upon it that he is flirting des-
parately with another girl Do not
tell him that you doubt his prostestations;
on the contrary tell him of your faith and
trust and smile your sweetest, but keep
your weather eye open. When fellow
puts himself out of the way to dwell upon
his fidelity and devotion his vows and
promises are worth but little. Of course if
you don't choose to take my word in this
matter you can eXperiement for yourself,
but don't express any surprise over the re-
suit.
The home dreSSmaker would do well to

Freddy, as he puts arnica upon his num-
berless bruises, concludes that bravery does
not pay. At the risk of his life he checked
a runaway horse, but in so doing broke one
of the shafts Of theFphaeton that contained
a screaming woman and baby. When the
male owner of the establishment appeared
he with great GOODNESS and presence of mind
inquired Freddy'S name and residence, that
he might collect damages to his vehicle.
Such an exhibition of gratitude ought to be
commemorated by statue.

Dear reader, come with me into the park,
where the night wind talks i'll a low tone Of
voice to the dark green leaves, and the June
bug plays horse over the grass. Come into
this oasis. where the dudelet doodles his
light-complexioned cane in his taper fingers
and squads of muslin-lined females prance

steps that weigh from pound to pound
and a-half apiece. and assist me in wiping

pical st. Paul girl.
Her FOOT.
Her foot is one of those compositions
that lassoes mans orbs and keep the las
so taut with stern, rigid tautness until
it is lost to view,in the dim distance. It is
a combination of curves and angles that
causes the brains of the ordinary man to
rush to his head and makes him feel as
though peals of silvery'laughter were play
ing polo on'hissspine. 1t is not that large
outrageous growth of pedal extremity that
is noticed in the streets of Chicago and ST.

parabollc instep and incurve sole. 1t ex-

would like to get up Oh the Washington
monument and jump off if he was
guaranteed beyond reasonable
doubt that his remains would
fall into those arms before they
proceeded to mangle. He closes
his eyes, silently prays that the owner Of
those arms may suddenly become a raving
maniac and rush over and try the expert
ment Of hugging him to death, and at the
same time mentally resolves that he'll stand
death off as long as the maniac continues
to rave.

to putt head on her. ALI St. Paul girls wear
heads. Some are more comatOse than
others, but it doesn't make so much differ

up $40 hat. The head of the typical girl
is well draped in golden tresses, which
come cheaper at wholesale than at retail.

overhangs a pair of dark blue eyes, always
laughing and always full Of fun. A dainty
