Professor Hutchinson, in the 4Hericdn
Magazine, for June, speaks hopefully Of the
future of physical development of women
and looks forward to the day when high
shoes, bustles and corsets will be abandon
ed. People have been looking forward to
common sense in female attire since gar
ments were invented, and will be disap-
pointed in their hopes till the end oil the
chapter. There was q time, some years
before the war, when hselless cloth and
satin shoes gave ugliress and comfort to q
woman's foot, yet her body, at that period,
was laced from the waist up 80 tightly as
to give painfully, fat attenuated appear
ancs. In the time of Napoleon women
wore corsetless chemise-like gowns, but
they "peacocked" around ON heels -four
inches high. A woman wouldn't tel
stylish or comfortable unless she wore
something uncomfortable about her. It's
a pity, but it will always be so. As for
the corset, it does more good than harm
The majority of women are too thin or
too stout, and either extremes are much
the worse off for looks when the corset Is
abandoned. The demure Dunkard maid
ems 90 corsetless and are said to be pretty
and have lovely figures; but they only
allow themselves to be seen from distance
that may lend enchantment to unconfned
flssh or too evident lack OF it.
A new necessity of the New York girls
life is tie fastener, which hiss come in
with the fancy for low shoes, the laces OF
which have an unconquerabie tendency
to come united, TO drag in the duet and
mud and trip up their wearer. Nomatter
no hard knot one might tie, the ribbons
were sure, sooner or later to work loose or
cause one endless anguish of mind. But
the American mind always rises superior
to the minor difficulties Of life, and last
season the shoe dealers invented little
clasp that clamps down on the knot Of the
laces and defies its most malignant efforts
to come united. At first these clasps were
of the plainest materials, and painted
black, but as they grew in popularity
they became more luxurious, and now no
self-respecting Young woman will have
anything less costly than silver. The ex-
travagant ones have their monogrnms
etched on them or pretty little designs
wrought ont in relief, and always have
their tie fastener made to order.
Young ladies who feel tired after ball
have good reason therefor. The writer OF
a book on dancing estimates that eighteen
waltzes are equal to about fourteen miles
of straight walking, and he is pretty near
correct, Judging from the effect a nights
dancing has on some girls. But eighteen
walizes in one night is rather going to ex-
tremes.
The season for picnics is now at hand,
but when we sit down and reflect that at
picnics 100 years ago it was the custom for
the girls to stand up in row and let the
the men kisI them all good bye, all the
enthusiasm about national progress seems
to be q great mistake, especially as far as
picnics are concerned.
There ia little to record in social way,
except number Of marriages, the week
having been o rather prolific one in the
matrimonial line, and shows that the
lovely month of roses is still popular one
for lovers to join hearts and hands for life.
A within of our girls is to drink milk,
says q fashionable New Yorker. Doubt
less they have borrowed this habit from
their friends, who have taken to the tactical
beverage even in bar rooms. Several
dudes of potent influence among their
kind, proud of being used up by winter
of alcoholic dissipation, swore OF a month
or 80 ago, and have since been ordering
plain milk across the barr Occasionally
they say to the bartender, "Just sprinkle
of rum," or "a spatter Of gin," meaning
that they wish few drops only Of liquor
put into glass Of pure milk, The girls
have caught on to the notion, and, when
they stand in front Of the elaborate soda
water counter, where they formerly order.
ed distinctly alcoholic mixtures, they now
demand the unadulterated yield of the
COW. They affect to DO dissipated by q
long season of social gayety, not uumixed
with champagne, and they are bringing
themselves round, If not making themselves
plump, by drinking milk.
Club night continues to be very popular
at The Wheeling Club, aud last Wednes,

bers and their lady friends were present

Tomorrow nightswill again witness q
