Hoe uo,nen Do r,t o.. Shoes.

Somebody has been writing about
how a women tries on pair of shoes.
In my youth was not allowed to call
names, but after reading the descrip-
ton Ihave concluded that 1 can, with
perfect truth and without seeming to
bear malice, say that he q concluded
his he-ness) is donkey. In the first
place, when woman goes into shoe
shop she doesn't put her shoes on her.
self at all; she is given choice as to
whether she will have zone Of the
young ladies" or gentleman" to at.
tend her. Ii the spirit of monkey is
hers she will demand the man. Now,
the man puts on the shoe as if it we're
a matter of business. He asks if it
feels comfortable, he suggests the put
ting back or bringing forward of but
tons, and he is willing to show the va
rious kinds of boots they possess. The
principle on which cone of the young
ladies'" works is to conclude that the
customer doesn't know anything in the
beginning and that she shall know even
less when she departs.
was once an interested locker on
when young lady asked for pair of
red slippers. "Black satin?" said the
young lady" Very feebly the girl
maintained that she wanted red slip
pers. Ny dear, when she left that es-
Enlistment she had high-heeled black
satin slippers with Rhine stone buckles,
and she couldn't get her red ones be-
cause she had spent all her money.
During the evening she thought she
would try if they fit her, put them on,
walked around the room once, found
they were half size too small for her,
and then when she went next day TO
get them exchanged the supercilious
young lady" asked her if she had worn
them, and when she was told just how
much, declined to consider the question
of giving her another pair. Women are
not hard to sell things to, but they do
like to have alittle say about the matter,
but once the "young lady" gets them
we'll in hand their souls, in more senses
than one, cannot be called their own.
The trouble with the man is that he is
rather apt to give you too big shoe
he is given to urging what he calls
comfort, and which means the shutting
of ones foot in the boot until there are
all sorts of horrid swollen places that
are not becoming when vapor bath is
taken.-Bab, in Ne,v York Star.

What Is Being Worn by the
Followers Of Dame FASH
ions Whims.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE STYLES.
Kanejss in Outdoor and Indoor Costumes,
Wraps, Hats, Bonnets, Trimmings,
G!cres, Jevelry, Etc.
By ANNIE f. MYERS.

THE Easter social season is upon us
at It's full height of enjoyable enter
tanning. There seem to be some very
decided changes in ladies' ideas of what
is7 f,roper to wear at certain times and
particular places.
For instance, it is not now considered
sssroE.er or good form to wear low necSs
.as decollete dresses at the theater, con-
,earts, small dinner parties or any even
atag,s minor enter tainments.
Whether this is the result of so much
favective hurled by fastidious on-look-
<sss, on whether it is simply change
foc few weeks duration, remains to
s,s seea. At any rate, ladies of good
taste content themselves with light
gowns open little at the necks and
t,ostesses must accept bright colors in
place of shimmering shoulders.
However, there are exceptions to this
rule; for opera and grand gala recep-
lions full dress is demanded, and of
these elaborate costumes our artist
e3Kovides two illustrations.
They are examples of the historical
md modern French influences, each
Row claiming supremacy in the world
IT fashion.
The front of the first, or historical
costume of the time of Louis XIV, is of
s.aIe-blue faille richly trimmed with
silver beads and silver bullion braid.
2four bands of even heavier silver
Fassementerie are placed Longitude
. 1aIly on the petticoat front. The
srain is of heavy pompadour white
satin.
The pointed bodice has q silver
beaded stomacher, but is otherwise
trimmed and edged with frostiest of
s,oint lace. The fan is of pale blue
ostrich feathers, with jeweled ivory
sticks The long gloves are suede kid
an lightest of tan shades. They are
worn at least two sizes larger than an
ordinary tight fit, and are heavily en-
broidered on the backs and around the
cops.
No court dame of that French mon
arch's court could have been more re-
galIy attired than this republican mat
seD of 1883.
Soft, fine webs are much preferred
FOR dresses indoors this spring, and an
imported French gown with all the
modern features shows front, or pet
&iooat, to speak exact, of pale-green
satin, entirely covered by diagonally
falling founces of white Chantilly lace.
Tho train, which is adjustable and can
easily be picked up and carried on the
arm, has pale pink ground of pompa-
s1our silk, covered with Vatican gar
sands of bright-oolored flowers.

if he pinned them in one or two places.
Yet this is a conclusion not only fire.
quently reached but acted upon by the
courteous modesto One grows to know
to ones sorrow that pins can be put
where needle and thread will not
reach, and one grows to wish that it
would be allowable to get up as the
spirit moves one and the pin touches
one and in audible language give ones
opinion of pinned skirts.-Bab, in

fresh aud youthful-looking for a
sprightly maiden, and again add
stateliness and magnifcence to the dig
nified matron.
The pale pink pointed bodice Of this
gown has gathered chemisette and
lace edge bretelles over the shoulders.
The French are exceptionally artistic
in many phases of fashion, but in moth
ing more happy than in their ability to
lay one fabric upon another. They
know exactly how to fit them each to
EACH This season they display this
faculty exquisitely by their uses OF
coarse meshed nets and laces over
silks.
The mantle we present illustrates
this idea. Over dark blue bengaline
garment of novel outlines is laid on,
very smoothly, lace striped coarse
black silk net Brussels net we might
call it, as it is most like it in quality.
This must be done deftly, the lines of
the stripes being pleasingly arranged
to give good effect.

New Theory of Divorce.

81 don't want to leave my husband"
said an indignant wife, "for he is areal
nice man and I like him. But once in
while he takes too much wine, to say
nothing of other cheaper and stronger
drinks, and then he is positively in
siderable. If could get some sort of
divorce that would work when he is
full and stop when he is sober, that
would answer my purpose perfectly.
But woman has mighty little show in
this country. Omaha World.

Were you ever Tilted? Really, truly,
emphatically kicked over for another
fellow in the very height of your love
and alteration? If you were I wish
you would write me an account of it
and tell me now you felt. OF course,
everybody knows that luxuriously mis-
cradle sensation of having a row with a
young lady. and feeling proud of your.
self for not having reminded her how
often you paid for theater tickets and
stood for ice cream and oysters. Every.
body knows the delicious feeling of
fiinging an intense, hurt, painfully
aggrieved expression at her, picking
up your hat, bounding out into the
cold night and rejecting as you go
home what pangs she will feel when
she finds you at the opera next time
with her deadliest and prettiest rival.
Some people know the peculiar sensa-
ton of having the deadliest and pref
test rival refuse the invitation, and
the hopeless fiasco of trying it on with
some other and palmer young woman.
And anyway, most Of us have exper-
fenced the humiliating reaction of do.
ing the humble explanation business.
and being forgiven for thinking We
could get away with the young women.
But never met man who would
stand right up and say he had been
thrown clear over the young woman's
head.-Son Francisco Chronicle.
