rich mater al does much to soften the tone
Somebody says that so far this season the
decOllete dresses have not been so extreme
as those favored last year.
Pearl colarettes fastened with dia-
mOnd or sapphire pin are among the new
fances and add to the appearance when
the neck is a trifle too long for perfect
beauty. A string of large pearls clasped
closely about the throat is worn by young
ladies.
High-heeled slippers are not in favor for
the opera. There is danger of the foot
turning suddenly in going down the box
steps. and no belle would appreciate de-
scent over the railing down into the parQuet
below. But tight slippers are still worn,
and are slipped FROM the little feet during
the opera, and then there is great ma
neuvering to get them on again without
any one being the wiser. This is rather
difficult, but has been accomplished during
the week.
Russian fringes are almost universally
worn IN place of the once-favored bang.
To some faces the fringe is very becoming.

desirable. The fringe is rather light and is

FALLING In LOV e.
Not SO M uch Fun i'm 1t When One
Understands sae Henson why.

UaSer.tanas sae ReasOn why.
Grant Allen In Fortnightly Review says:
Falling in love, as modern biology teaches
us to believe, is nothing more than the
latest. highest and most involved exempli-
fication in the human race. Of that almost
universal selective process which Mr.. Oar
win has enabled us to recognize throug bout
the whole long series OF the animal king
dom. The butterfly that circles and eddies
in his aerial dance around his obSeryant
mate is endeavoring to charm her by the
delicacy of his coloring. and to overcome
her coynesS by the display OF bis skill. The
peacock that struts about IN imperial pride
under the eyes of his attentive hens is
really contributing TO the future beauty and
strength of his race by collecting to himself
a harem through whom he hands down to
posterity the valuable qualities which have
gained the admiration OF his mates in his
own person.
In our own species the selective process is
marked by all the features common to Sc
lection throughout the whole animal king
dom; but it is also, as might be expected.
far more specialized, far more Individual
lied, far more cognizant of personal traits
and minor peculiarities. 1t is furthermore
exerted to a far greater extent upon mental
and moral. as well as physical. peculiarities
in the individual.
We cannot fall in love with everybody
alike, Some of us fall in love with one
person, some with another. This instinct
i've and deep-seated differential feeling we
may regard as the outcome of complement
airy features, mental, or physical, in the
two persons concerned, and experience
shows us that in nine cases out of ten it is
a reciprocal atfection-that is to say, in
other words, an affection reused in unison
by varying qualities in the respective indi-
viduals.
Of it's eminently conservative and even
upward tendency very little doubt can be
reasonably entertained. We do not fall in
love. taking us in the lump, with the young.
the beautiful, the strong and the healthy;
we do not fall in love, taking us in the
lump, with the aged, the ugly, the feeble
and the Sickly.

ADDIE.

ADDIE.
In my drawing-room I sit,
Thinking Cholly, dear, of you,
And the pleasures Of the seasons that are
past:
While across my memry fit
Joyous scenes that we've been through
Ere this era came our little fun to blast.
Oh. the splendors of those nights
When your pocket-bOok with cash
Was SO gorg ously replete we fear'd 'twould
burst;
When we wooed theatric lights
And enjoyed tn orchestra's crash,
Which with oysters and ice cream was inter
spersed.
Not wedding or a fete,
No reception and no ball.
Did ever miss my Cholly from my side;
You were always Adde'S mate,
And |, proudest girl of all, =
AS beside you in livry hack I'd ride.
There was nothing too immense,
And no gatherings too grand
For my Cholly or his Addie in those times;
For you said, ''Doggone expense
As you casp'd my lily hand
And we gaily spent your dollars and your
dimes.
Now change to us has come,
And sit here all alone,
And I murmur: "where's my wandering
Chawles to-night?''
Is he swapping chewing gum
With some other girl unknown,
Or has Christmas knocked his wallet out of
sight?
oh, Choly! Chollyi ChawlesI
Why am 7 fors AIKEN so,
While the merry season goes its giddy round?
Oh. this lopesomeness appals,
Lots of places / can go
If my Cholly or an escort could be found.
CHOLLY.
Inmy boarding house l sit
List'ning Addie, dear, to you,
And recalling all the happy days we spent;
And I'm thinking, could git,
Half the money we've gone through
1t would please a swell who hasn't got cent.
Oh, Addie, dear. I've heard
That there's not city belle
But is willing with some belle her hack to
share;
But my dear, has it occurred
That your Cholly's strapped like-well
He couldn't take you riding in street ear at
full fare.
Adde'S PAPA.
In my counting-rOom l sit
And tear my thinning hair,
For those girls of mine are picking dry my
bones:
Since their beaux have gone and fit
am driven to despair
By the bills they make for hacks and chape-

The Wife shonid Garry the Purse

Detroit Tribune.
Brides, remember nothing is easier
spoiled than a husband. He will settle
right down into letting his wife wait on
him and she will be apt to be the burden
bearer to the end of her days. Tend to
things in your line and your department,
but don't go beyond. The money question
is apt to cause the most trouble. Really.
the best way is to have the family purse
where the wife can handle it at any time.
She will be so pleased with the confidence
reposed in her and so armed with the re-
sponsibility that the money will be wisely
spent. Ingelsoll says that when he sees
men trusting their hearts and their honor.
but not their pocketbooks. to their wives,
he always knows which OF these articles the
men thiak most valuable.

labor is degrading, and that hand which

confess we do not know how true this is.
If it is correct, then. indeed, is it the evil
dence of lack of manhood. and, if it is
not true, it is wicked libel on the char

princes of France all acquired trades. Some
of them were printers. bookbinders, ship

but they understood them. Royal and
princely ladies in Germany and France
understand every function of housekeep

can go to the dairy and the stable and
handle milk or a COW and horse with
dexterity and satisfaction. The Prince of
Wales is a bOOk-binder; each of his brothers
has a trade and his sons are learning
trades according to their tastes. All the
ladies of the English royal household are
accomplished in practical thingS-they

And still the golden pathway lies
At eve across the Western sea,
And lovers dream beneath those skies.
Which shine no more for you and mes
No more, an, nevermOre! and yet
They seem so near, those summer days,
When Hope was like jewel set
To shine adown Times misty ways;

Will bring them back to US once more.
And that tits but one long dark night
Since we two parted by the shore.
We parted with soft words and low,
And Farewell till tomorrow" said;
From sea and sky, the sunsets glow

Then as you went, l heard you sing,
"Haste thee, sweet morrow; parting thus,
How could we dream that life would bring
Not any morrow there for US?
We parted, and that last farewell
It's shadow on our life-path cast;
And Times relentless barriers fell
Between US and our happy past;
And now we meet when cares and tears
Have dulled the parting and the pain,
But never can the weary years
Bring back our golden dreams again.
