Studies in Stockings.
New York Tribune

When the fashionable young lady
is at ease in her home receiving equal
ly fashionable lady friends her hosiery
is frequently subject of comment, of
admiration, and often of envy. The
love for fine hosiery is by no means
new thing among women. Rich
silken hose have for many years form
ed an important and considerable fac
tor in the trousseau of every lady whe
could afford to indulge in such luxur-
les. First they came IN solid colors,
black, white, and dark blue chiefly.
Then gayer colors were added. A
strange fashion which followed wss
that of wearing a stocking Of one
color on one foot and another of a
shapely contrasting color GA the
other. Succeeding these solid colors
came, from the Partisan originators
of the hosiery rage, demand for silk
footwear with stri pes, horizontal,
longitudinal, and diagonal, or with
diamond shaped or square blocks of
such colors as black and white, black
and old gold, crimson and pale blue,
and other combinations In which the
colors hsrmonized less than mention
i
ions held swaw for time.
Suddenly young ladies who were
summering at the seashore found that
the display of pretty foot encased in a
daintily made slipper and a novelty in
hosiery was an attraction. Hosiery
consequently assumed place of i'm
portance in their outfits that it had
never before held. On stockings of
solid colors the lady's initial or mono
gram appeared, embroidered in floss,
just at or Immediately below the in
step. This freak was very shOrt-llved,
however, as it was pronounced trih .
too loud. Then succeeded tastefully
arranged and many -colored knots of
flowers in floss or silk in the same po-
sition on the stocking and where it
could be readily seen when it's wearer
had on a low slipper. These were
considered perfection in their way,
and from their adoption up to the
present time are much affected, es-
pecially by young ladies and young
matrons.

Actresses Husbands.
New York Telegram.

The most conspicuous appendages
to theatrical performers just now are
the husbands of actresses. Several
separations and divorce suits have
made the subject public. The belief
is common among actors that no mar
ital union between an actress and a
non professional man can possibly
last agreeably, and the exceptions to
that rule are invaribly met bv the re
mark, or its equivalent, wait and
see."
Modjeska is playing Camille here
once more, just after the marriage of
her son. II am delighted with his
choice of wife," she says. mot emily
because the girl is lovely, but especial
ly that he did not wed an actress. My
own case proves nothing. As gen
eral thing, little happiness results
from matches between women on the
stage and mea off," We have in
New York numerous exhibits proving
that Mod eska is right. There is one
man who was for many years the
managing clerk in a wholesale house,
with an income of 81 900 year. He
fell desperately in love with a girl
who sang in a comic opera chorus.
They married and lived quietly for a
few months, when she insisted on 1e-
turning to the footlights. She then
advanced rapidly, while her husband
retreated correspondingly into the

Enough to ride 8,000,000,000 miles
at the usual cents per mile railroad
fare, or 40 times from here to the sun

Enough to support 100, 900 working

much that it would take laborer,

lifetime.
Enough to make nearly 5000 tons

background. Her acquaintance grew
numerous, and he became wildly jeal
Gus. He was obliged to be at his Of
fee during the day time, while she
was at liberty. Next ne neglected his
business to run up town for look at
what she might be up to. That soon
lost him his place. Since then he mas
lived GA his wife, her salary being
ample, and he a convenience. She
has grown more and more open and
bold in her disregard of his feelings,
and now of nights she coolly parts
from him at the stage door, after the
performance, to drive away in her
carriage to keep trysts that are scarce
~ secret. Only his unexpired love
keeps him attached to her, and he is
about the most miserable being to be
seen around town.

A Dog Which Caught On.

under the wagon.

him off, but it's no 60"

1--WE tried it in vain. Lemme tell
ye what I did in September. I brought
the cur here with me, and | got on the
street-cars and rode around for half a
day. Away up Jefferson avenue he
got into a row with some other dogs
and lost the car, and / went home
feeling that he was done for. Next
morning I went at it with the boys
and painted the front fence and the
house so he Wouldn't know the place
if he came along. I tied up a calf In
the front yard, cut down all the weeds
and so changed the general looks of
things that nay aeighbors didn't hard
ly dare come in. On the third day we
saw the cur coming down the road
from town, and everybody got inside.
He came up, looked around In great
establishment, and his tail dropped as
if somebody had tied a brick to it. In
his bones he felt that it was the old
place, but the painting up, sorter par
alyzed aim he sat down to think it
over, and all at once he came over the
fence and began to gambol around as
if tickled to death. He had got on to
something, and it Was no use trying
any longer to fool him."

One OF the best passports in that di-
rection, next to good character, is
good handwriting. OF course, you
know bow to write, but like the great
majority, probably, you have never
trained yourself to write we'll. No
merchant wants his books disfgured
by awkward and illegitable scrawiing.
No lawyer will submit to badly-writ-
ten copies. We suggest you devots
yourself this winter to persevering
endeavars to improve your penman
ship. You will be surprised at the
improvement which real effort in this
line will achieve. Maybe you would
like to learn stenography and type
writing. The faithful employment of
your winter evenings in this work
may make you u frst-class graduate
before the long days come again and
enable you. to earn a handsome sup
port. Do you wish to become expert
as mechanical draughtsmanf There
are excellent instruction books sold
very cheaply. The industrious oc-
cupation of your evening hours
as learner will surely be
fruitful of results. We know
of excellent draughtsmen, now enjoy
ing good salaries, who taught them
selves to draw In evening hours, while
companions idled their time away in
smoking, cards or gossip. Are you of
an inventive turn of minds The best
of all times to study up and think out
plans for new contrivances is in the
quietude of evening. The results of
earnest thought in the production of
inventions are simply astonishing. In
general, it is the improvements in
simple divice, things of everyday use
and that every body wants, which are
the most profitable. The patent for
the little invention of the spring win-
dow shade roller now so generally
employed in all dwellings, has brought
great wealth to the fortunate inventor
he is now a millionaire. His device
was truly happy thought. We
know of a lady in Chicago whose pat
ents for the invention of a moving
belt for drying eggs, albumen. etc.,
have revolutionized certain great
branches of trade and now bring her
a great income. The people want
improvements in every conceivable
form. Not only is the field of inven-
ton vast, but it is open to every body.
There are no distinctions in respect to
sex or age. The way to invent is to
''keep thlnking;" the way to accom-
plish anything is to ''keep working"

Another Illusion Gone Glimmering
Phils delphia Times.

sit seems like pity to shatter a
belief that has existed for years." said
a dealer in pug dogs, pigeons and pea
cocks this morning to newsgatherer,
but the old old story about the vani
ty of the peacock is miserable myth.
I can not understand why people
have believed in it so long. Why,
sir are you aware that the peacock
mas less brains than a chicken? Do
you know that the peacock is prac-
tically the idiot Of the feathered tribe,
the same as the pug is of the canine
race? A peacock, sir, hasn't sense
enough to go In when it rains. No,
sir. What I say is literally and actual
ly true. I have seen 'em stand out
in a storm and pick up corn, while
every sensible turkey, goose or duck
would be under shelter.
sit is simply the gaudy plumage of
the peacock that has led to the story
of his vanity. I suppose in days gone
by, when some parson or other had
no text, or was mad because money
went for bonnets instead of the con
tributlon box, he just lit on the pea
cock as subject and jumped in
without regard to nice distinctions in
natural history.
SIT is true that when the peacock
hoists his tail and struts around it
looks as If he was trying to show off,
and all the women folks say: Just
look at the vain thingr The truth is
that the peacock rarely, if ever, ex-
hibits his magnificent circular tail
except when counting. A male pigeon
swells out his chest and raises his
neck feathers, while barn-yard
rooster seeks for dainty morsels for
the hens and clucks complimentary
clucks. The peacock takes differ
ent style, that's all.
81 dent suppose that peacock has
sense enough to know that his feath-
ers are gaudy Or his feet ugly. It's 3
dead sure fact that he has a smaller
head and less in it than any bird you
can mention tina list half his size in
