The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-05-04

Quarters Of Norgantown.
A Front street belle, ! am told,
finds fault with her student beau be-
canse be scratches his head with his
fork at dinner. Would the young
lady have the young man scratch his
head with the leg of a chair? Iknos
the fellow pretty well, he's all right,
and that little habit of his that she
despises so is the fault of his fort,
probably. Here's work for the girls:
When you come to know a man well
remind him of his imperfections,
he'll then remind you of yours and
if each heeds the others advice
there'll be a model couple manufac-
tured ready for the joys and sorrows
of this sinful world. Try it.
This is the season of the outdoor
girl. She revels in sunshine and
grows strong in exercise. To be in
the bracing air is her devotion, walk
ing her joy, driving her recreation
and few spring flirtations the spice
Of her existence She glories in ma
ture and nature returns the compli-
ment by putting roses in her cheeks
and unknown possibilities in her ap-
petite. She suborns fashion to COM
fort and style to ease, and the result
is paragon of grace and health.
l am really glad to notice that out
door sport is being INDUCED in by
the girls of Morgantown for it means
solid muscle and sound constitu-
tions. / also observe that street
gadding is falling into disfavor with
our girls, another cause for rejoicing.
They prefer, sensibly, too, the pure
atmosphere Of the countryside for
their perambulations. If this out
door habit is encouraged in the girls
of our town the invalid rate of the
female persuasion will be a naught
and they will entertain their guests,
be they students. town fellows,
drummers, or the stranger from
general standpoint, with charms
which are the gifts of nature and
which never fail to please most any
kind of beau.

Did you ever observe how ''hurt,"
not to say indignant, fellow who
won't pay anything if he can help it
is when mildly asked for a little bill
he owes you, and may be has owed
it for one or two years? 1t is dis
tressing to sometimes witness the
writings of such fellows. Isn't it
amusing sometimes to hear them
proclaim how honest and prompt
they are?

Hirschman and our milliners,
Miss Laura Dawson and Mrs. Nc
Wicker, have different kinds of Gus
toners to deal with. In fact, the
difference is greater than in anything
else different l ever saw men and |
women do. When man steps into
he asks for the kind of
a hat he wants, either the latest |
style Of knox, Dunlaps or straw. If
he sees what he is after be pays his
puts on his new hat and within
five minutes he comes out feeling
satisfied and the envy and admira-
ton of other men less fortunate.
The merchant also is satisfied and
that settles their business without
any further trouble. Now comes the
The woman goes to the
and, even if she does know
what she wants, she takes delirious
pleasure in trying on all the hats in
the shop. And she does it so neat
ly and comments so naturally on the
and inconsistencies of
the wear that one would think she
was really trying to be suited with
each effort. Such observations as
these always greet the milliner: 30,

do you think that's becoming2"
IF it wasn't for these frizzes / would
wear hat set back, he never did

she will say: of / can't find any
thing to suit me better I'll come
back" She always finds it. l never
knew woman was so hard to please
about her head gear until last week,
when | was in one of our millinery
stores on business and something
like the above happened and
thought Of the difference. Their
trials in the matter are simply pitia-
BILE. l also notice that an important
subject is the working over of last
seasons hat. Not taste alone, but
economy is concerned. Pride and
judgment also enter into this work,
and the pride she takes in exhibit
ing the triumph of her genius and |
comparing it with the new hat of her
is a genuine pleasure and |
pays for all the trouble to say moth
ing of the money saved. l am not |
married now, but l make these OBJ
from what 1 know to be
true of good many of our girls
Now why can't a woman be like a
man in the matter of buying hat?
It's no use to ask that question as it |
won't help things any. By the way,

they are this spring? + never did
