INTERESTING SOCIAL CHAT.

In TERESTlNG SOCIAL CHAT
Amid the merry dancers
| My face is blithe and bright,
And in the waltz or lsncers
Ny feet are 1.-THE and light.
He frowns TO see me laughing
Amid the joyous crew,
And thinks do not love him
| All, ifhe only knew!
He deems woman's passion
The art of a coquetie,
And vows that nothing but fashion
My heart has stirred as yet.
He only sees the actress
Before the play is through;
Alas! behind the curtain
All, if he only knew!
Must women e'er be wearing
The heart upon the sleeve,
Amark for idle staring,
That lovers may believe?
am not cold nor tickle,
Forgetful, nor untrue;
love him-I adore him
All, il he only knew!

"Behold, the melancholy days have
come, the saddest of ths year." when
every woman feels certain that eince the
time of tie celebrated Flora McFlimsey 70
one ever came quite as near having moth
ing to wear as she does. Summer cloths
are too thin. winter clothes are too thick,
and fall clothes are in tbs clutches Of the
dre,smaker. Mrs. Smith goes to the
Opera in velvet wrap and white chip
bonnet and sits beside Mrs. Jones in an
organdie drsss and felt ta1. Mrs. Bro xn
shivers in the lightweight coat the seduc-
tive salesman persuaded her late last
spring would be the very thing for early
fall wear, and Mrs. Green strug yles and
fails rot to know that she looks passe
in the last seasons wrap she paid la-ge
sum for because it was something she could
wear forever and not be out of sty,e.
One might JUS as well expect woman
to look the same by day that she docs by
candle light as to hope ths. any kind of
garment bought this year will not be H.

you put it on next year. If the proper

It has been noticed by jewelers. that the
tendency to look upon the ga,tsr as an evi
dence of feslty has led to many freaks
among lovers. One is to exchange carriers.
Sometimes the lover gives his sweetheart
pair in return for pair from her, and
somstimes only one is exchanged. The
most original and artittic idea was that Of
a young Eastern artist who has since been
married to the heroine of the romonce.
He ordered pair of garters with FEC eS
locket iu each buckle. The outside of the
buckle was of rich yellow gold, p rfec,ly
plain, with the exception of monogram
in diamonds and sapphires, which include d
the initials of his name and hers also. In
one of the secret lockets he put his photo
graph, in the other q lock of his hair. At
the same time he had facsimile of the
buckle, although smaller, made for RUG
he wore himself. In the secret aperture
he put ministuIe photograph of his fan
csc. The fashion Cf presenting garters to
their affiance husbands seem S to be growing
among New York young women, according
to the jewellers. In nesrly all such cases,
however, only one garter is given, ard that
one that has been worn by the young
woman.
Silk stockings, adorned with insertions
of lace or made delicately transparent with
open work, are suited to evening wear.
For morning dress tine fancy silk stockir G
are embroidered with Pompadour designs,
spotted, striped, coveIe / with tiny squares.
The thread ste ckingS are in every variety
of design, frely woven and delicatsly
dyed. 1t is de rigueW that the stocking
match the color of the gown with which
thew are wcra. such details make awo.
mans dres, complete, and carry out the
artistic idea of her apparel as whole.
There must not be a jarring note Of color
not neglected item.
For those who like French style the very
latest and newest thing from Paris is fol
ladies', whether married CT not, to have
their first name stamped on ths lapel q
