1t seems her smiles there and still Will stay
These are her favorite books
The pages longing for her loving looks.
Here is her happy bed
| The pillow where she nightly rests her head.
She comes-her step know;
Bless thee, sweet room Alas, that must go
CHEAP EUROPEAN TRIP.
In order to prove that wealth is not
always necessary to "a good time" or the
| attainment of ones highest ambition, let
me tell you what was accomplished by
clever friend Of mine. She was an ener-
getic little woman, belonging in Buffalo,
who possessed very little money, but
| burning desire to "see the world"-the
sine qua non of her ambition being a tour
| to Europe. "Where there is will, there
is way" you know, and she finally made
| up her mind to see the other side of the
Atlantic. She had 5000 put away from
her savings as copyist in an abstract office,
and she obtained leave of absence for two
months Long before her "leave" came into
effect, however, having decided to go to
Europe, she made thorough investiga-
ton of the whole subject of ways and
means, studied guide-books faithfully, ma
tured careful plan of action and '.read
| up" on the localities she determined to
visit. She carried two dresses only, a
well-ftting, well-made cloth gown for
street wear and simple demi-toiiet that
would not look out of place for ordinary
evening wear, and put on another neat,
but plain, cloth costume for the voyage.
| A small steamer trunk held all her be-
longings; handbag, macintosh and a
heavy shawl, with umbrella in a shawl
strap and a steamer chair, completed her
baggage.
She went to New York, and next day
sailed for Glasgow on the State line
| steamer. She secured a ticket both ways,
and comfortable state-room, for exactly
| S75, and had pleasant voyage. At Glas-
| gov she met friends, and remained there
| five weeks. From there she made two
days trip to Edinburgh, and then went on
to London. For this journey she travelled
third-class, which is quite as comfortable
as the ordinary railway travelling here,
and her ticket from Edinburgh to London
and back again to Glasgow was only $l3,
| though the distance was more than 800
miles. She was waited on as carefully by
the guards and her parcels looked after for
| only eight or ten cents-aS if she had rid
| den In tirst-claSs compartment and the
| pleasure of the trip was fully as great. In
London she found cheap but very respect
able temporary lodgings at the "Alexau-
dria House. home for young women,
erected by Sir Francis Cooke Victoria
| WoodhulPs husband), who has been
knighted, you know for his munifcent
| charities. This house has all manner of
| devices for the comfort and welfare of
young women, and the Princess of Wales,
in whose honor it was named, has taken it
under her own patronage. Afterwards our
| Buffalo friend lodged in house much fire.
quented by girl students, at South Ken
sington Museum, for about 81 per week.
| Her luncheon she got in the shops, being
too much engaged in sightseeing every day
| to go home for it. This she could get for
seven pence "a cents of our money!, the
| luncheon consisting of an excellent cup of
coffee, an egg, and buttered roll. Well,
| she arrived home with some of her 5000
| left, and lot of delightful memories. and
fixed determination to 90 again, in
different direction in Europe, soon as an
other 5000 could be saved and next time
| to stay three months instead of two as
she is quite sure she can do with her added
| experience.
ABOUT THE ''MAKE-UP"
Girls, if you must powder and other
wise "make-up"-I suppose you must,
since most women do-for goodness sake
take more pains in putting it on Use
whatever war-paint you please, but don't
| tGrn your complexion corpse-like blue
by putting dead.white powder on sallow
skin; and don't put dab of rouge in
round spot just under the eyes. Did you
ever notice woman with natural flush
on her face? The color extends far over
on each side of her cheeks and down to-
ward her chin, from underneath, like
| Strawberries smothered in cream, the
lobes Of her ears grow little pink, so does
the tip Of her chin, her nostrils and the
lower part Of her forehead. Remember
this when YOU sit down to put your
rouge on, and apply it carefully with the
soft end Of linen handkerchiefs, if you use
dry rouge, or 4 sponge if liquid is pre-
ferred. Use your powder with equal care,
You don't want to look pink in one spot
and dead-white in another, and make the
two colors blend until veritable flesh
tint is achieved. The valne of liduid
rouge is that it can be touched and will
not come off, needing good rubbing with
soap and water to remove it; but at the
same time, unless you are better artist
than the average "weaker vessep you
would better stick to dry paint-for if YOU
get on too much, or put it on the wrong
place, it can be quickly removed without
the rubbing and scrubbing which the
liquid requires. And don't forget that
what may look all right in your looking
glass, in a shaded room, may not bear a
critics eyes in the garish light of the sun.
AS To FIG LEAVES.
What peace and comfort might he ours
if only the styles would not change so
often, and clothes and house linen might
be made to last at least ten years. By the
way, know an artistic lady, whose means
and position are so firmly assured that she
can afford to do anything she likes. who
does not wish her studious pursuits inter
fered with By eternal dressmaking, and so
she plans out costumes three and FIVE years
ahead, and apparently holds contract with
Fate that things shall fall out as she has
ordered. For common summer wear she
buys fine, firm, unbleached muslin by the
bolt, and has it dyed art colors-indigo
, blues, light and dark, old reds and pink.
