ner may be at bottom only a sensitive or
painfully shy one. There are people who
advocate a certain amount of shyneSs as

a large portion is especially desirable for

almost mertable mauvaise homie and gau-
cherie of shyneSS any more than need self
possession mean either assurance or undue
self-contidence. Self possession implies
some extent of reserve. but extreme reserve
in manner is not attractive. Reticence be-
gets reticence. as confidence does conf
dence. We should. however, distinguish
between reserved manner and reserved per-
sons. A reserved manner is generally dis
tant and unSympathetic; sometimes it is
even repellant by its apparent lack of
kindly fellow feeling. Such persons may
bel well hammered, according to the strict
canOnS of politeness, but, even with excel
lent qualities beneath, they will not be gen.
eral favoriteS. On the other hand, with
the most frank and genial manners may be
a large amount of that reserve and self
possession which belong in greater or less
degree to all strength and depth of charac-
ter. People OF the gushing sort, whose
thoughts and feelings are always on the

OBSERVE. / here WAS mounting remarkable
about the wOman'S appearance. She had
on one of those tight fitting suits of plain
cloth that the women are just now wearing
with pleasing effect, but no one would
have looked twice at her on account of her
apparel.
I don't understand what you mean, -
said l.
So then he told me- She was one of
those women, he said. for whom plain I'M
derclothing, such as rich and poor wear, as
a rule, is not quarter good enough. She
has to have silk and satin and nainsook and
embroidery. and [ don't know what all. in
the place of the linen of the rich and the
muslin or cotton of the poor. Six times
out of ten. he said, when such women as
as she come to get pair of corsets or a
petticOat. or that simple garment which is
the feminine equivalent of a skirt. there is
nothing in the great and costly stock that
is satisfactory to her. These women buy
the best French impOrtations. but always
complain that they know of other women
who have still more costly apparel, or that
when they were in Paris they were able to
get much finer goods. The floor walker
said that he did not doubt that far costlier
garments are to be had in Paris, which is
where all such apparel is imported from.
but that it would not pay to import skirts
at more than $50 apiece, or
underclOthes at a higher cost
than S35 a suit. He saw that
these figures. lightly mentioned. occasioned
surprise and offered to show the goods in
confirmation of his words. 1t would take
fashion correspondent to describe them,
but even TO mainland lavman at that
they looked both beautiful and costly.
There were petticoats at from S25 to sos,
some of nainSook and some of India silk,
but all heavily trimmed with lace. There
were skirts. so to speak, at S25 TO $50, and
so on through the list. The best woven
underclOthes- practically the same as men
wear-were the only garments that did not
show their worth. They cost $50 suit.
and did not look any better or much differ
ent from that everybody wears. 1t was
uncomfortable and seemed a triae sacrleg-
ions for man to be even looking at these
treasures. The fiOOr-walker was used to it,
however. and did not seem to notice the

The Derby Darlings.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
The late decidedly masculine tendency in
fashionable female head gear has brought
out a new type of girl of the period, and
coined a new phrase to describe her. The
girls who promenade up and down Chest
nut street these fair winter days, arrayed
in mems stiff hats, are now called Derby
girls" or Derby darlings." This is Oc-
casionally abbreviated into I'd. d." in such
forms as there goes a d. d." or 'she's a
regular d. d."
A few years ago at the outbreak of the
anglomaniac fever in dress, slight modifi-
cation of the Derby hat was adopted along
with the masculine ulster, but they were
not generally worn, and were so ridiculed
that they soon disappeared from the fash
ionable thoroughfares. The present Derby
fever among the girls is the most pro-
nounced and general ever known.
The first girls to adopt the hat this
season were the girls employed in stores
and factories. but the fashion has been
extending rapidly until it has reached the
girls with nothing to do. whose principal
occupation in life is to walk up and down
Chestnut street fair afternoons and go to
Saturday matineeS. In some of the large
establishments where many girls are en-
plUyed, the hall racks where they leave
their outer clothing look like the ante-room
at masculine reception, and rapid glance
over the parquet of any of the theaters of
Saturday afternoon gives the impe Ssion
that political convention is in progress.
Many of the Derby hats. as worn by the
Derby girls, have an occasional feather in
front; but. as rule. they are perfectly
plain, with simply a band around them,
and there is absolutely no difference be-
tween them and the Derby hats worn by
men. They are most becoming to large
heads or broad face, and they accord very
well with the prevailing style of wearing
the hair well up on the head. They are
cheaper and more durable than hats involv-
ing more of the millners art and are
easier to put on, being held simply by an
elastic band fitting under the hair back of
the head.
