A belt of real rattlesnake skin is "a
souvenir much priced by young women

be thing of beauty if it wereua9t for

with it, ..
The fashionable New York girl of to-
day holds herself so erect that she locks
as if she had swallowed tender ram
rod in her youth and it had stidened
with her growth. Your limp, fabby
girl is out of style.
Dainty boots are what American ladies
are coming to by degrees, and now al
most as muth attention is paid to the
boots as to the gloves. that they shall tit
perfectly and be in the last cut. Foxed
boots are the latest, and patent leather is

Fashionable trousseaux now are COM
posed of but half dozen costumes, as
| change in fashion from one season to
another is apt to find young married
woman embarrassed by greater num-
ber. It is much more sensible to save
and invest portion of the allowance
for the trousseau, and have chance TO
keep up with the change of modes.
Acorns are used in trimming bonnets
this season. A charming model Of an
autumn bonnet has row OF tiny acorns
set about the edge very close together.
The body Of the bonnet is brown bas-
ktt work of the little twigs with brown
velvet ribbon run in; large bunch OF
acorns with foliage adorns the front and
brown velvet strings are used in tying
graceful, pretty bow under the chin.
A very unique and natty bonnet IT is.
The Hindu widows have ghastly times
of it, but the acutest part of their suffer-
ipgs comes from the fact that for two
days of every month, all during the
period of their widowhood, they are
obliged to abstain from all food and
drink, even to water. The aged mother,
hardly able to totter across her floors,
must pay the penalty as we'll as the young
widow of twelve. Weeping sisters and
daughters stand about and wiring their
hand 8, but not one dares help the suf-
ferer.
Among the accessories of the toilet
which freshen and brighten it up, we
have for the coilfure the new fashion OF
small circles of white or colored silk
tnle, twisted around like miniature
turban, fastened by jewel, and from
the middle of which springs an aigrette
of flowers or feathers. Young ladies also
wear this small tulle puff with flowers or
some fancy jewel in the middle, but
/ young married ladies eagerly seize this
! opportunity of exhibiting some diamond
brooch, representing flower, bird or
butterfly.
