it is no credit. but discredit, for women

the greater use they get out of
them. Ii, instead of man work

How well the violin becomes young
girl, and how frightfully difficult it is
for her to conquer that king of instru-
mentS! But once her own, the two are a
picture for the eye, voice of exceeding
music for the ear. The severely critical
would say the eyes should have moth
ing to do with our judgment of an
artist; but while mankind is human,
youth and attractiveneSS will have much
to answer for our likes and dislikeS. 1t
so happens that musical instinct falls
Oftenest to the lot of pretty women; or
is it that talent makes them fair by de-
veloping that personal charm which is
the greatest beauty youth can possess?
l thought so while hearing Tua play,
and am quite sure of my theory when
listening to Belle Botsford, who is a
violinist of peculiarly refined and dainty
artistic feeling These young artists.
though Signorina Tua is some years
Miss Botsford's senior, are gifted by
nature with beautiful arms and hands,
a most essential beauty in their profess
sion, and to be required to shut ones
eyes to them would be more than SuS-
ceptible mOrtalS could endure.

FAIRY FOLK ALL.
Pretty Tales That Some Would
N VainlY Seek to Vino Out.

f'retty Tales That Some Would
d Vainly Seek to Wipe Out.
Fairyland is the home of every goblin,
bright or fierce, that ever we heard of;
the home, too, of the ogres and dragons,
and enchanted princesses, and demons,
apd Observation-Disclosures of all time.
The Brownies belonged there, and went
thither in their worldly inery, when
ing mine-SpriteS, the sweet dancing
elves. the fairies who stole children, or
romped under the rivers current, or
plagued honest farmers, or tiptoed it
with torch down lonesome road
every one there had his country
and his fireside, says Louise
Imogene Quincy in Wide Awake.
"A merry tale, and one which is very
wise and pretty as we'll, is current in
many literatures. The Irish version
runs somewhat in this fashion, and the
Spanish and Breton versions are extra
ordinarily like it. A little hunchback,
resting at nightfall in an enchanted
neighborhood, hears the fairies, from
their bOrderlands near by, singing over
and over the names of the days of the
week. And Sunday, and Monday and
IueSday!' they chorus: land Sunday,
and Monday, and Tuesday," The boy
thinks it rather hard that they do moi
know enough to finish their musical
chant with the names of the remaining
days; so, when they pause little, very
softly and tunefully, he adds: ''And
Wednesday," The wee folk are de-
lighted, and make their chant longer by
one strOphe; and they crowd out in
hnery from the mound, bearing the
stranger far down into it's depths where
there are the Cl0riOnc onan holIc
of Fairyland; kissing and prais-
ing their friend, and bringing him the
daintiest fruit lips ever tasted; and to
reward him lastingly, their soft little
hands lift the cruel hump from his
back; and he runs dancing home, at a
years end, to acQuaint the village with
his happy fortune.
Now another deformed lad, his neigh
Dor, is racked with jealousy at the sight
of his former friend made straight and
fair: and he PUSHES to the fairy-mound,
and sits, scoWling, waiting to hear them
begin the magic song. Presently rise
Monday, and Tuesday and Wednesday,
and Sunday. and Monday, and Tuesday,
and Wednesdays" whereat the audience
breaks in rudely, right in the middle of
cadence: "And Friday" Then the
gentle elves were Wrathful and
swarmed out upon him. snarling and
striking at him in scOrn; and before he
had escaped them they had fastened on
his crooked back, besides his own, the
very hump that had belonged to the
first conner! In the anecdOte, as it is
given in Plcardy, the justice-dealing
COLLINS are described as very small and
comely, clad in violet-colored velvet
and wearing hats laden with peacock
plumes. In the Japanese rendering, a
wen takes the place of the hump.

sound. When respiration, digestion and
circulation are impeded the brain can
not do its best work. But there came
time when this deplorable custom, long

HORSEBACK RIDING A LA MODE.
Zone of the most needed reforms, and
| believe the most difficult to introduce,
because public opinion is SO very strong
on the subject, is. in my estimation, our
manner of horseback riding. l have
been passionately fond Of riding, and
have ridden since | was young girl,
and know all that woman has TO con-
tend with. May l communicate a few
reasons why woman should not ride
as she does? The position is cramped
and strains womb ard back; the circu-
latiOn is stopped in the right leg; the
difficulty of getting skirt to stay
comfortably in place is very great,
they are now SO closely fitted and
strapped down; the danger in
case of accidents is also great. a very
one-sided development is the conse-
quence, besides the many discomfort
to the horse; it is more difficult for
them to travel squarely, with as even q
gait; saddle gals are almost sure tC
form; saddles have to be tight in order
not to slip. think it is especially hurt
full to growing girl to assume the
cramped-up position on one side of the
horse. Why should we try to pretend
we have but one leg? We take great
pains to fit the form from neck to hip
skin tight, and the form shows plainly
from back to knee from the right side,
and very much more immodestly than il
we rode with our feet dOwn.-MrS. Jean
ness Miller, in Dress.

Children'S fancy dress parties were
great feature of the holiday season in
England, and young readers, as well as
their parents, will be interested in the
pretty costumes pictured here, which
are reproduced from the designs of
famous London costumer, says the Phil
adelphia Times. Mothers are often
puzzled to invent suitable costumes for
these occasions, and the pictures and
descriptions will furnish hints that may
prove useful. Some years ago it was
the custom often to dress the little folks
exactly as they would have been dressed
had they fifteen additional years upon
their heads. They looked pretty. of
course, but after all there is a feeling
that children should be children as long
as they possibly can be. at least so far
as dress and amuSements go. and so a
return to fancy costumes was hailed
with unfeigned delight.
pretty boy or girl gaily attired in some
odd old costume. He or she seems the
very personification of iollity and free
dom from care. The children them
selves enjoy the pretty things they
wear, and why not let them have and
enjoy them? They will never know a
better time, and no sight is prettier than
ball room set composed of handsome
children handsomely attired.
The following pictures and hints will
be of great practical use in designing
costumes:

a new and delightful idea. When the

cream tips and MORE ribbon, is ex-
tremely pretty. Black lace over light

A Cashmere House Dress.

A charming house dress in copper
colOred cashmere has skirt with long
drapery and handsomely braided front
and side breadth. The short, round waist
has the front plated to form a yoke, the
fullness below gathered into belt, also
braided. The back of the waist is close
fitting and braided, while the braided
collars and cuffs to the close-fitting
sleeves complete this costume. A real
novelty in dress waist was seen dur
ing the past week at leading house.
The waist closes with hooks and loops
under the arm, the front being so much
trimmed that it could not be opened.
The idea is French, and the style most
effective.

Shoes for Fashionable Women.

NeW 1OIk IIIltS.
1t has always been difficult thing to
get shoes for fashionable women that
shall be exclusive in character. 1t took
a dressmaker, and male one, too, to
solve the question as to how this should
be done. Now the perfectly dressed
lady has the tops of her vanished
leather walking shoes made of the same
material as is her walking dress. One
Sixth avenue shoemaker makes
speciality of this line of trade, and is
doing rushing business at it. Just
now he is overrun with orders for skat-
ing boots, the tops of which are of the
same material as the skating costume.
These cloth tops are tipped with a bit of
sealskin to make the outfit complete.

silver beads in Topped strands are sewed
on the bodice in alternate rows with
fringes of pearl or crystal beads or gold
lined pearl beads. Deeper Topped
