STRIPED AND PLAIN REDINGOIES.
make a point Of walking two OF three
miles every day. They wear a very
short dress. with high boots, and the
most fashionable ladies have them made
with broad soles, low, fiat heels and al
most square toes, and, armed with long
handled umbrella or walking stick, they
step out briskly and return rosy anu
brilliant.
Shoes for indoor wear, however, are
inst as sillv as those for outdoors are
sensible. High, curved heels and mar
row pointed toes are the only ones seen.
The satin slippers 20 match dresses are
beaded and embroidered In the most
lavish manner Many Of them are
adorned with fine Rhine stones which
fash ike real diamonds.
Hosiery for evening wear usually
matches the gown in color, and they are

What IS the use Of trying 70 make 20
ciety out as msIe foolish than II isf NO
woman is going so wear such things any
how As long a. -he has the least gleain OF
reason They would make her leet iooA
terribly large. -
me rriueiF,al objects OF each woman'r
lie are-drst, to look pretty; second, 70
look preitier than her friends, and, above
an, to look pTettier than her eneinieei
and nothing that tends towards those
noble aims Is too arduOus 10 undertake,
and Just now the particular means to-
wards them is 10 wear patches. Not
upon their garments, but upon their
faces They are made OF black court
plaster and have a remarkable eject IN
attracting attention towards the princi-
pai beautiful parts OF woman's face OF
distracting the eye from the least lovely
ones. The black somehow brings OUT All
the latent brilliancy Of color and shows
q transparent delicacy Of complexion
by contrast with its own blackness.

vived, but II is charming one.

name, for / don't think our American
girls are exactly Of the kind that allow
themselves 70 BE- the roosting places OF
those insects. They are now worn not
only upon the face but also on the neck,
Just behind and below the ear, and also
on the shoulders, etc. Those placed
under one Of the eyes are called DAN
ger spots" those near the lips are called
"Assassins," while those affixed 70 the
chin are called Fatal" but ] Will give
