20, pshaw. You men don't know any
thing about it. The same effect is pro-
duced by syringe"
The syringer' | exclaimed.
Yes. Why, don't you know that fash
innabIe women restore the color in the
cheeks by hyp0rdermic injections? They
have a small syringe, the same as is used
for administering an anRSthetic, and with
this they inject cOlOring fluid beneath the
skin. Peachblow cheeks are very deSir-
able and if there is 10 blood there to make
them, the minute veins can be forced full
of cOlOring matter which answers for blood.
The trouble is it is only temporary and will
eventually injure the skin permanently.
But what of that. Drunkenness is only
temporary pleasure and will eventually ruin
those who indulge; so why sheer at women
who wish to look interesting for an
hour? There are women L know VINO
habitually resort to the syringe for their
color. When the effect is gOne-lhat IS
when the colOring matter is absorbed in the
skin and carried away by the bloOd-the
face is absolutely CHASTITY. The unSkillful
use of the instrument is quite as disastrous

There's the other difficulty, don't you see;
YOU can't tell where the color is finally 60
ing to show up"
l admitted that it was certainly risky on
this point. Since my conversation with
this weIl-inforned young wife, l have been
making mental note of cheeks. l have
discovered no marks of the syringe on the
cheeks of my newspaper friends, though
several of them have a lively color in the
nose. Perhaps they couldn't get fOothold
for an injection in the cheek. But some
half dozen blaSe young ladies and various
bell-wethers Of society show indications of
tamperng with nature in this direction.
One Of these ladies [ sat near in an avenue
herdic yesterday. Her nose was all right.
There was very pretty peachblow color
on her cheek. Now she evidently had
passed the age when such a pink notified
cheek would be natural and everybody
stared at it, the same as people will stare
at a red-headed woman with dark eye

betrayed to me the imposition. Probably
other women wondered how such cheeks
could be gotten up with brush. A stu
dent of fashion for the time being, l saw
that there was the handwork Of syringe.
The many minute wounds on the cheeks
showed that it had been often Tesorted to.
They were such as might have been made
by the prick of a needle and would have
been unnoticed by anybody not looking for
them. l have not been able to gather any
statistics as to how long this can be sue
cessfully done before the operator breaks

BURLINGTON PARK.
Another Beautiful Suburban Town
Plated and Now in the Market.
Magnificently Located, Within Ten
Minutes Ride of Union Depot.

Rumors being rife within the past few
days relative to the plating of the suburban
town of Burlington Park, representative
of the GLOBE took a seat behind spank
ing team, and after a pleasant drive OF four
miles from the court house, pulled up at the
point mentioned, for the purpose OF giving
the readers of this paper the benefit OF his
observations. AS near as could be aScer-
tanned. this valuable property. consisting
Of about forty acres, mas Deen
purchased by syndicate, plated,
and put upon the market for sale at once.
The site consists of two connecting level
tables or plateaus of land, the first
lying alongside of the tracks of the Burning
ton 81 Northern, and the Chicago, MilWau-
kee and ST. Paul roads. The second has
gentle rise Of about ten or fifteen feet, the
top of which is as level and beauti-
full piece of land as the most fastidious
real estate man would wish to look upon.
Standing OIL the edge OF this
terrace. and looking off toward the
city. one can scarcely resist
desire to utter the word beautiful. AS
the eye sweeps to the right and lett. a sue
ceSsion of green hills skirt the path that
marks the location uf the city of St. Paul.
The dome of the capitol lifts its head far
above the roofs OF the surround
ing buildings. while the steeples
of the German Catholic church are
plainly discerAed, and in fact all the prom
inent buildings of the city, as well as those
of West ST Paul, can be traced ahd singled
out by the observer. Directly in front are
the tracks of the two roads. with the site
of the depot which is soon to be erected,
and the eye takes in the trail OF
the Mississippi river. Residents on
| the Hudson can boast of their villas nesting
among the hills. but the site Of Burlington
| Park is fully as grand. Not alone is this
desirable spot for a residence center, but
nature, with a lavish hand, has provided
every inducement in the vicinity for the en-
enlargement of manufacture. Within
quarter Of mile of the tracks is
! the head of stream of water. when
in many places is deep enough to float the
largest steamer that plies the Western wa
tiers, and. with the expenditure of trlfilng
sum OF money, could be rendered navIgable
to the Mississippi, thus giving water
communication with the whole world.
This inlet, with its twists and
turns. is about quarter OF
mile in length. About the same dis
lance from Burlington Park, land has been
purchased and arrangements are beng
made to establish mammoth wagon rae
tory, while other industries are talked OF In
| the vicinity in short time. Further IN
formation regarding this matteris contained
in display advertisement on another page
OF this paper. Particulars can be ootalned
from Bickel IL Hughson, Germanla DanK,

HYDE Park, and some of our servant
girls on So week cut a bet
fer figure Sundays than their English
and German sisters who come of
families well to do in the world. Speaking
further of American versus European girls,
the American girl seems to be a sort of
cross between the English and the French
girl. She looks on the whole better than
either. though she has not half the advan-
tages Of her English sisters in natural
beauty of complexion or robustness of
health. The American girls complexion
is too often sallOw. She talks, as a rule,
with nasal twang, more or less pronounced,
and not afraid to say what she thinks.
She dresses, however, in exquisite taste.
Her cOlOrs do not blaspheme at one an
other, and she wears her clothes so that she
appears to have as good form as her
English siste. She has infinitely more
style, and she carries herself better. She
is better looking by far than the French
girl. who, by the way, is dark COM
Dlexioned, unhealthy looking, and in many
cases wears pair of mustaches which

STAYS to bed, and after a time she became
so accustomed to their ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
thai she forgot her troubles in sleep.
The fashion of sleeping in corsets was
prevalent in England as well as France at
that time. and many women OF to-day fol-
low the habit. 1t was thought II the com
pressing influence was removed for eight
or ten hours that any permanent good
would be lost. At fashionable boarding
schools the pupils at the age OF 10 were put
into cOrsetS, the strings drawn as tightly as
possible. and in them they remained until
new pair was needed.
A subject of this strict discipline wrote
more than fifty years ago to a London
fashion journal:
my mother had taken no pains with my
form, and at the age of IA, when [ should
have possessed a waist of considerable slen-
derness. it measured twenty-five inches.
On my arrival at the school the mistress
was sadly shocked over my clumsy form.
and | was at once put into pair OF stiff

it required the strength of two maids to
draw the strings sufficiently tight so that
my girth would be but eighteen inches. |

two wears but after that time my form be-
came more slender, and | could sleep in
comparative comfort. When l returned
home my mother was charmed with my
slender waist, and my younger sisters were
put through the same course OF treatment"
Fifty years ago hip corsets were worn.
They had additional pieces placed over the
hips that aided the small waist, and at the
time were considered a great invention.
The stay combining the st0macher, which
was fashionable in our grandmOthers' days.
would not seem comfortable nowadays,
although it was considered grand aid to
beauty in frightening the waist.
The modern corset seems by all means the
most comfortable yet invented. 1t is made
to fit the form and not the form to fit it.
1t is lined with whalebone that bends at
every motion of the body, and, while it
may compress the waist to certain ex-
tent, aids in expanding the chest and keeps
skirts from pressing closely over the hips.
1.-The healthest women in the world are
the fashionable women. and they all wear
corsets." says defender of them. "You
compare them, their rosy cheeks bright eyes
and rounded ferns. with the hat-chested,
square-wasted, non-cOrset wearers Of cul-
tured Boston, New England in general
and the Salvation army. and see which is
the most perfect physically. 1t will be the
fashionable women who wear corSets, and
wear them rather snug, too. The act
resses are another class of corset wearers.

only in Pittsburg, but in all the big cities of
the country"
''Do fashionable ladies play poker?"
s'They will this winter. | know of half
dozen private little poker clubs that have
been formed already in Allegheny and the
East End"
''DO they play for money!"
Indeed they do. There is a little game
over in Allegheny which goes on from two
10 three times week. in which 1t costs SIS
to play. They don't play freeze out either.
After the S. worth of chips is gone as
much more can be invested as the player
sees fit. None but young ladies play in
that game, and they are. of course, young
ladies whose fathers are rich, or they
couldn't get the money to play. There are
number of smaller games in Allegheny,
where it takes from 81 to So to pl ay."
"Out in Oakland there is a poker club
composed of four young married couples.
They meet to play once or twice a week,
and there is often as much as $50 on the
board at one play. There is another club
farther out toward East Liberty which is
formed exclusively of the younger members
of a fashionable church. They play for
money, but their stakes are generally small,
penny ante predominating.
Are the games run openly?"
"Of course not. Those who play for big
money are very quiet about it, you may be
sure. You see, there seems to be an anxiety
among some of the society girls to be dissi-
pated, like their big brothers. Poker is
fascinating, and they have chosen it as
means of obtaining the desired end. l sup

parties there will be no stakes up. or. if
there are. they will be very small. 1t is in

To Please the Ladies.

The women of the United States seem
especially gratifed at the compliment paid
their sex by the superintendent OF the
bureau of engraving and printing in select
ing the vignet of Martha Washington to
adorn the new One-dOlar silver certificates.
Mr.. Graves has received large number of
congratulatory letters from the friends of
the women'S movement all over the cOun-
try; but the present superintendent
deserves only the credit of selection,
for, as a matter of fact. neither
the vignet of Martha Washington nor that
of Gen. Grant, which is on the five-dollar
notes, has been engraved expressly for this
purpose. They were chosen during the
administration of CASTELAR, in the bureau of
printing and engraving, and have been
waiting for years to be used. At that time
it was the custom, in order to maintain the
high standard of government work, to pre-
vent the bank-note companies from obtain
ing the governments best engravers. The
cut of Martha Washington cost $500 to en-
grave, and is one of the best portraits of
that lady extant. The vignet of Gen.
Grant is side view, and is the only pOr-
trait of that hero, so far as known, with a
side view. 1t is greatly liked by his war
friends. for it resembles him at his best,
when he had just returned from the war.

The Sweet ToOth

The qualification of the ''sweet tooth" is
spreading among fashionable women, and
more candy is now sold at retail in Phla-
delphia than was ever before known. Ply
sicianS continue to argue that glut of bon
bOns and pastry is not the best thing in the
world for health, but the ladies, young and
old, do not seem to mind the warning much.
nor are they deferred by the prospect of an
early visit to the dentist, which usually
follows continued candy consumption. Not
only has the manufacture of candy increased
in Philadelphia, but the number of re-
tail establishments has multiplied rapidly
in the last year. There are establishments
where the finest bonbonS and bOnbOn pack
ages are imported from Paris. and there is
hardly fashionable young ladies' school
without one or two candy shops close by
where some of the girls with liberal allow
anceS of pin money run up bills that are al
most preposterous. Last summer, shortly
before vacation, the favorite daughter of a
well-known Philadelphia family was no
ticed to have not only lost her appetite,
but to be suffering apparently from some
secret trouble. With considerable difficulty
it was discovered that she owed nearly $40
for candy and ice cream. The bills had
often run up to $40 and $50, but she man
aged to pay them. This bill was paid, but
this fright cured the young lady of the
candy habit.

back of the head. Last seasons bOnnets
were cut up at the back, and many wore a
false coil of hair to protect the tender part
of the back of the head which the mode in
hats exposed. Small braids of hair or

they are ealled-that is, simply three
strands. These braids are pinned close to

YOU SAID.

You said that you would come again
When winters storms were Ger,
When ha wthorns blossomed in the lane
And spring was green once more.
But now the ripening corn is high,
The hawthorn-blOom is she'd,
The golden summer days pass by,
AND all my hope is dead!
You said, where'er your steps might range,
Your heart would still be mine:
You said true love could never change,
For it was made divine.
But now I've learnt that lovers VOWS
Are changeful as the moon;
Truth falls like May-bloom from the oougn,
And love is dead too soon!
You said, though other lips should smile,
'Twould be in vain for you
That rarest charms could ne'er begulle

Blot out the dying day,
And you viii never come again
To kiss my tears away!
