81 non her, with that free, quick, springy
Fad Head erect, shoulders back, tall

NH she a perfect specimen of the splendid
Il n,nal a girl ought to be3 How long is it
;nce the hustle came in! For there YOU
ave the secret of it, that girl has no hustle
q, She Is an ultra-fashlonable and the
q lIfra-fashionables have left them off. See

ood walking among women in the city this
81 oring. Nobody could walk with hustle.
#,alking is daily growing fashionable now.
|$Fhat girl will do her three or four miles of
constitutional before she goes home.
Il What a lumber of women in green there
#pre Broadway and Fifth avenue have a
#Telnal look to-day. There is a green bon
ret 1t is ivy leaves twined round about
End hiding the black lace they are creeping
4 on. There is a green parasol And the
Woman who carries it has tobacco-brown
&netticoat draped with such a vivid yellow
Green cloth. She's not woman at all, now
non approach her closer. She's girl of )
Il rd the thick braid of hair hanging down
Her shoulders is tied with a yellow-green
ribbon. and there is quantity of yellow
4 green foliage on her hat. You can't turn
Nut you see greenness. There are green
4 gloves in this shop window and green stock
Ehgs in that.
There is a woman you know just ahead.
4 Hook. it is Mrs Patrice Boucicault Pitman,
Dion Boucicault's daughter, out with her
liking Charles spaniel, the west dot of a
King Charles alive. BERTHE BoucicauIt can
4 put him in his pocket, and BERTHE is such a
d little boy you can imagine for yourself how
\ big the pocket and the dog must be.
There's gown. 1t is worth crossing the
street to see. Hurry and you can catch it
before it turns in at that florists door.
\ There's woman in ita OF course but this
time it Is not the woman, it is the gown that
counts. You've not seen such a dress as
TAFT out Of doors this spring. Mercy gu us,
what was the woman thinking of to wear it |
Oh the street this dusty dayl 1t is a gray
silk null, do you see, and it's embroidered |
about the skirt with pale pink and blue for !
eet-me-nots. There's scarf of forget-me- |
Tot blue crepe over the shoulders and that
i embroidered, too, and it has long silk |
fringe The little bonnet is Just mass of |
forget-me-nots with hints of the gray green
l5ayes and with cloud of gray tulle about |
the face Pretty woman, after all, if we
did chase her for peep at her gown.
That's Mrs. Foster over there, Mrs. J.
Ellen Foster, the temperance worker from
Iowa, who came to New York to attend the
Anti-saloon Conference last week. Sweet
faced woman, isn't she, and she has sweet
voice, too.
1t Is Miss Dora Wheeler. the artist, behind |
her; the world is out walking to-day; Miss
Wheeler knows how to dress; do you notice
Ihe rich green Bengaline she is wearing this
afternoon! She must have draped the folds
bt It herself, and it is a moral certainty she
designed that soft gray jacket with it's white
vest and gold embroidery
See, the whole street is gold embroidered
or silver braided or steel braided What a
flashing of brilliant colors. The city never
had before such marvellous dress parade.
One might study the parasols an afternoon.
A Woman'S sunshade is the frame or the
moving background she carries about with
her. Some women frame themselves ex-
qulsltey others very i'll. What fine day
i is and what turnout of fine women the
Gty can show. They are passing in phal-
anGes. Some are old, some are young, some
are beautiful, some are not, but all are alive
10 the sprlngtlme and all are carefully
gowned. The New York woman studies
many things, but in addition to all else and
before all else, she studies her clothes.
THERE ARE SUMMER WAYS OF EARNING
living, as distinguished from winter de-
Wees to the same end, and some OF these
warm weather businesses clever girls are all
the time hitting upon. Taking young girls
