STYLE IN WOMEN.
What Attracts and What Repels
in the Fair Sex.

Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;
In short, my deary, kiss me anu be quiet.
Lady w. Montague.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
AS to the question of beauty, one
elderly club man says that it used to be
common thing to see people-men and
women both-turning around to look at
girls on the streets, but that such a
thing rarely happens nowadays. In
France that used to be held as test of
real beauty. A great Partisan belle
said sadly after returning home from
walk one morning: II am getting old;
the gaminS on the street no longer stop
to admire me. am going home to inn
prove my mind" Another man at
tributes this partly to tailor-made
gowns. He says that severe style robS
women of their feminine charms. 1t
began in the plain habits for hunting
in England, and on horseback it
is appropriate and pretty; once in
a woman in a masculine sort of
dress, but now they have allowed
plainness to creep into even their
ball toilets, and on the streets a we'll
dressed New York woman is as severe
in her style of raiment as her brother.
Hair must be as smooth as silk, with a
stiff, rigid little bang: rim of stiff white
linen about the throat and wrists, and
every garment as neat and simple as it
is possible to make it. 1t makes the
New York girl a model of fresh cleanli-
ness, but she doesn't look as pretty as
she used to, when more flowing and gra-
ciOuS lines were allowed, and she made
no attempt to look anything but strictly
feminine. A society woman said at the
opera the other night that Adele Grants
charm of pre-eminent beauty was fem
ininity. "She always accents the fact
that she is woman, and that she is
proud of it; and it's very effective pose,
which many women would do well to
initiate. She first learned the power OF
it when she was staying in Italy. New
York girls try to approach the mascu-

for gain for female gambler are even
more numerous. Young fellows, and
even old ones, under the excitement of
ship life and the abundance of time on
their hands, are easily roped in by the
batting smiles of pretty girl. Ii her
behavior is democratic her company is
all the more sought after, since her pref
erenceS, no matter how slight, toward
one man are sure to cause rivalry in
others.
A sample of an American girl with 9
taste for cards was on the Alaska. The
young lady was ''going it on her own
hook" Unattended and OStenSibly des-
tined for London, she was not twenty
four hours Oh the vessel before she had
three admirers furious in their atten-
tions to her. She told them all sorts of
stories about her life; how her mothes
was French woman from New Or
leans, her father an Englishman, aIftl
herself Canadian by birth, but there
was no chance to mistake her manner
lsmS. In an unguarded moment she
would yell at the top of her voice when
the ship would lurch. 'Hello!. you bet

she emphasized her words with final

All the same she won handsome sum

played with her were reticent concern

Ages ago, when the world was grand, tx
In the reign OF the emperor Whoo,
There lived sage in the Flowery Land
Whom tradition calls Sin Foo: u
And no other mortal could understand 40
One-half of the lore he knew ~
This wise man never was known to guess. g
For he knew all things that be; -
The reason why girls say No for Yes
Was as plain as A G., t.s
And cen the ages of actresses n,
He knew, SO wise was hel =;
He knew why girls all sit on the floor ~
When ever they put on a shoe;
And why for each strawberry blonde you
score
A white horse comes into view: "
And wonderful things unknown before, n
And nothing to him was new q
But the strongest brain must tire some day.
And this was Sin Foos mishap; !
He could not study, nor write nor pray, II
Nor sit with book in his lap: | J
But his eminent head would nod straightwav
And his eyelids shut with snap.
To keep him awake he tied his cue
TO the top of his chair back tall;
He hired two cats to sit and new
All night on the garden wall:
He pinched himself both black and blue,
And slumbered in spite of it all.
Weary at last of the useless strife. All
He rose With a resOlute cough:
Full well he knew, if he snored through life
HOW tEe people would SneeF and Scoff
So he asked his wife for the carving knife,
And cut both his eyelids Off
His poor wife shrieked as they dropped to
the ground.
When-a marvellous sight to see.
Where they fell beautiful plant was found
More sweet than the jasmine tree
And when the spinsters had gathered around.
They tasted and named it tea!
Since then when Chinaman goes to drink
A cup of the balmy brew
Ere he put his lips to the fragrant brink.
He shakes a sorrowful cue;

young gentlemen. l might perhaps
qualify my statement that, while
these masculine maidenS may not
roughen their male associates, they have
the inability to exert the faintest re-
straint by their presence. To man, she
has ceased to be a woman. From the
waist down the woman continues to be
a woman, but from her waist up-with
her tailOr-made jackets, her high, stiff
collars, her scarfS, her horseshoe pins,
her short-cropped hair, her linen shirt
front and her Derby hat, she is man.
Will the woman be content with this or
will the inSidiouS Transformation creep
down to trousers? Some of these, may
say many of these mannlSh maidens
hunt, shoot, fish, row, play tennis, go in
for billiards, smoke cigarettes and are
Judges of horses. The sprawling, pranc-
ing and upgrateful twists and strides do
not show them to the best advantage.
Let women be women and girls be girls,
and then men will appreciate them
more.

''It's all in getting used to it, you
know. Ten years ago couldn't have
persuaded society women in ST. Paul to
sit with nude shoulders, either. But
fashions change, and now there is ri
Valry among them as to which shall
carry nudity to the greatest extremity.
The wealthy are the very best custom

society girls make practice of having
their pictures taken every month";"
''DO they know anything about pos
ing?"
and then blame me, of course, if a large
nose is large nose still, or if big
mouth fails to resemble Cupid's bow"
Don't they appreciate their good
points, nor make any suggestions about
the best way to bring them Out?"
'sYOu don't for moment suppose
there is woman living who has a
pretty feature and is unconscious of it?
or who will not do her best to show it.

slippers.
Leopard-Skin shoes are among the
novelties which a few uptown stores are
importing for their ultra-faShionable
customers. says the New York Journal.
The fur side of the skin is worn next to
the foot, and the outside is left the
natural color and ornamented with
patent leather tips and heels. The
shoes lace tightly over the foot and are
supposed to lend grace to the gait of
the wearer. Same of these shoes show
the spotted fur as border about the
top and front, but these are only worn
by women with very small feet.
The CaStlereagh slipper is at present
the most fashionable for evening wear.
1t is made III satin or fine kip, ard has a
high heel and low-eut pump, and is
held to the ankle by a cord of silk,
which faStenS on the toe of the
slipper under jeweled roSette.
One of the prettiest models is a
lale blue satin slipper, with a silver
cable cord fastened over stockings of
pale blue and under a buckle of Rhine
S-one set i'll silver. Another is of black
satin, with a golden cord worn about a
black open-wOrk stocking. The cord
takes the form of a snake, and the head,
with JeWeled eyes and a ruby mouth,
rests on the tip of the slipper.
The IeddO slipper is remodel of the
Mlkado and is greatly favored by dane
erS with weak ankles, the many instep
straps supporting the ankle nicely. The
eddO is shown i'll many new effects.
One of Orange-yellow satin has stripes
set with eats eyes, four stones on each
strap, and is said to be most effective
worn over black or Olive-green hosiery.
The idea was taken from a par made
for Mrs. Langtry to wear as L. Ia ,<,>-
pard. These little No. As cost S5O.
Trey are OF crimson satin with Louis
XVI. heels, and have straps of gold ri!i-
sci, each one fastened with oi0od-red
ruby. These slippers are worn in the
Monte Carlo scene with flaming gold
and crimson costume, and add the fin
| lShlng touch to most effective toilet.
M0dJeska has just ordered pair of
handsome slippers, which will, no doubt,
be copied. These are of soft chamois
| skin, mounted in the natural color on
little bronze heels, and have four but
tons of goldStOnes. Their most dis
tlnSulSnlnS feature are lnStep straps of
real gold, with fancy buckle on the
outer side of the slipper.
PUSSY Cat slippers for the house
are IN favor. They are made entirely
of felt, i'll gray, dark blue, crimson, or,
i'll fact, any color, and lace from the toe
to the instep with d silken cord. They
are especially comfortable, and make as
little noise as their nameSake.
The most fashionable spring shoes for
street wear are to be laced, and will
have rather low heels and pointed toes.
Some of them are made with tiny springs
inside the heels, which will doubtless
add to the grace of the wearer
OAll faStidiOuS women of wealth have
their shoes made to order and lined

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. 1.-THE
Paul'S Valley Qndian Territory En-
terpriSe publishes the following letter
from ChOctaw girl, called out by Sem
ator Dawes proposed legislation in re-
gard to that territory: -.
DAwEs-Yon Old Drake: ran across
your notice in the Atoka independents,
saying that you was going to destroy
the ''squaw man. and his ritghs in the
territory: and not satisfied with that,
you want to take from us girls our ln-
dian citizenship if we marry white men.
Do you know, you delicious old ''dirt
pie" that the ''SquaW men, as you call
them, are gentlemen7-just as good as
yOurself-and that their wives are very
often ladies of good sense and eductt-
ton? o, you dear old drake! how 1
would like to crawl up to your eminent
picture for two minutes and half and
show you how we Ch0ctawt women can
make lasting impression. So you
think, you old gander, that you'll cut
Off connection between us, and thus in
jure our base of supplies. No. stree;
white men for uS-and we'll have them
at all risks. | reckon you want us to
marry uneducated full bloods and go
back by the road on which our grand
fathers travelled, but you can't quite
''cut it." We don't want to be worked
to death on Tom Fulla and ride into
town tied upin red handkerchief on
fyat-legged. fiddle-headed pony.
Dawes, you old scamp, you have done
us girls heap of harm already. You
have ruined Sallie's peace OF mind.
That handsome DeniSon drummer that
was drumming SO constant at Sallie's
sensitive heart said to the operator yes
terday that he didn't want to be called
''squaw man" without share in the
Doodle. 1t was pretty hard on Sal; she
just broke right down. Oh, you old tri-
headed, bottle-necked boomer, 1 sup
pose you take us for blanket Indians
and would call our little brothers and
sisters ''papooses." Tell me, did you
ever see any of our pretty, olive-com-
plexiOned brunettes just from college?
Because, if you didn't, you had better
bald-headed in the ''twitch of an eye.n
You delicious old dirt-pie, if you ever
shake your marrOwless bones on a
square yard of the Choctaw country and
we girls find it out, WE'LL matriculate
you III a petticoat policy that is only
known within the limits of our common
domain.
We have lately quit college-we girls
and we'd have you to know we are as
smart as the smartest of them in the
states. We honor and love good white
men. but such as you we know how to
treat as you deserve. Your threats
don't scare us bit. Sally told me to
tell you that she'll fill her two white
arms full of dandy drummer before
she dies. Ia, ia. old dish-rag! Yours

The Griffin Society Girl.

~
If there is girl who uses her tongue
more exquisitely than the society Griffin
girl, more deftly and daintily, more de-
murely and reposefuIly and quiet, who
can extract the honey of Hymetus or
all the bitterness of the Dead sea, and
compress it into one little twist of the
tongue, as tina Griffin girl does, she is
worth climbing the mountains and
swimming across oceans to see. Georgia
ought to guard the Griffin girl jealously.
If there is one use to which the peach
blow vase ought to be put it is to inclose
and preserve the Griffin girl and her
tongue in their adorable charms. AS
for us, if we ever find ourselves in par
adise, with no Griffin girl to whom to
look for our share of milk and honey,
we have no hesitation in saying that we
shall at once apply for transportation
to some country which at least has rail
road communication with Griffin.

The fact is very apparent to any one
who will walk up and down our avenues
of promenade that there is growing
''mannishness" of our girls. Instead of
the retiring, modest, shrinking, soft and
gentle woman, with tender sensibilities
and fragile frame and womaniSll dress
of few years ago, the female sex has
revealed itself into an improper and un-
becoming representative of feminine
masculinity. 1t has been said that a
man can become accustomed to almost
anything-Dut that utteranee came from
the man who averred that when way
from his wife'S snoring he had to have
a coffee mill ground by his bedside to
lull him to sleep. Perhaps! The CON-
panionship of mannisii woman rough
