Leisure Hours.

The autumn comes on apace, but So
ciety very decidedly fails to keep pace
with it. Ladies are evidently too busily
engaged with the duty of selecting fall
millinery TO give much attention to
Social obligation, either IN caneeling
their own or mourning new ones for
themselves or their friends. The week
just concluded was one of the dullest
Imaginable, an untimely death stepping
in to prevent the one event Of any i'm
pOrtance that was scheduled. There is
also very little on the tapis for the near
future. There will be a wedding on
Summit avenue, but not until next
month. There will be a fashionable
reception on the heights in November,
and various other soeialities are talked
Of-fOT the future. 1t is unqueStiOna-
bly, and uneOmpromisingly dull. When
the fall shall have set in in earnest, it is
probable there may be a rediviYus

THE SOUTHERN GIRL.

Her dimple cheeks are pale:
She's lily of the vale,
Not rose.
In a muslin or lawn
She is fairer than the dawn
To her beauX.
Her boots are thin and neat;
She is vain about her feet,
Ii IS said.
She amputates her RS.
But her eyes are like the stars
Overhead.
On balcony at night,
With fleecy cloud of white
Round her hair.
Her grace, all who could paintf
She would fascinate a saint
declare.
IT'S q matter Of regret
She's bit of a coquette,
Whom l sing.
On her cruel path she goes
With half a dozen beaux
On her string.
But let all that pass by,
And her maiden moments fly.
Dew-impearled.
When she marries, on my life,
She viii make the dearest wife
In the world.

Another very becoming style is "The
MALL" The Mall is a foreign importation
and is popularity supposed to represent
the style of thing which will ornament
the heads of the high-bred damsels of
st. James and the freQuenterS of the
Mall this autumn. How correct the pre-
sumption may be deponent sayeth not,
but at all events the hat looks pretty
enough on the swell Summit avenue

large fans of black silk velvet leading

Dainty shapes and pretty ribbons:
feathered victims, to the Unsuitable de-
mand of fashion of brilliant plumage,
natural or the reverse; velvets and
felts of every shade known to the code,
are the most striking features in fall
and winter millinery, so far as the
casually observant eye can discern.
Filmy fabrics OF lace and straw, which
have done duty at the lakes and on the
seashore during gay, happy summer
months, are now lying draggled
and neglected on the top shelf
in my lady'S boudoir, or have
been handed over to my lady's
handmaiden, and will charm the eyes of
that maiden's best fellow at many
White Bear Soiree next summer. The
homeliest kind of girl need look little
less charming than her fortunate rival
with the Grecian profile if she, but
knew just what manner of bonnet best
becomes her style of home!iness. There
are bonnetS for all exhibited in the
windows of St. Paul's millinery houses
Just know, and the girl who cannot Sc
lect headgear that will enhance what
ever facial charm she possesses hun
dred fold is liable to an accusation
of lack of taste and judgment.
The girl whose face is long
enough to secure her admission to the
priesthood, and who still insists on
wearing a hat with crown eighteen
inches high, should take a tumble to
herself, for such hat is liable to
estrange the affections of her beauX.
On the other hand, Il girl with face
like full moon, no matter how charm
ing she may be on general principles,
should avoid the skimning-diSh style OF
thing, as by thus accentuating the width
of her dear little countenance she COM
mits a grave error in Judgment.
As regards the average member
of the beau monde in st. Paul
however, it may be said of her that she
knows just about what to wear and
when to wear it to the best advantage.
One of the most popular hats for fall
wear evolved by the ingenious little
trimmer is now popularity known as
"BettyS PRIDE" and is having a tre-
mendous sale. The chief charm of this
compilation of black velvet and ostrich
feathers is that it is more adaptable to
any style of face than the rest of it's
kind. 1t is made on frame of black
velvet, side crown of red velvet EN-

"Betty's Pride'' has been copied in a
somewhat lame style by envious COM
petitors, who have combined in naming
the stolen style "The Flirt," though the
original is much the prettier arrange
ment of the two, and it's a foregone
conclusion that "The Flirt" will be
showed under in the matter of sales.

that the same fair hands and fertile
brain which evolved the much-sought
"Betty's Pride" is also responsible for
the creation of the equally popular
style above mentioned, though the
charming trimmers are somewhat re-
firing, not to say bashful, and will not
own up with the same freedom as does
the artist who paints catchy
landscape, or the composer who
has written successful song.

One of the puzzling tricks per-
formed by sO-called public mind read
ers or clairvoyants is an extremely
simple deception. The performer.
standing on the stage, asks several
persons in the audience to write each
a sentence on a slip of paper and seal
it in an envelope. OF course, the sta
tionery is furnished and afterward
collected. OneOf the audience is a
confederate, and writes a sentence
agreed upon beforehand. When the
assistant goes through the house gath
ering up the envelopes the confeder-
ate's contribution is carefully put
where it will be the last one of the lot
to be taken up. The performer picks
out an envelope and, after feeling of
it, with much ceremony pronounces
the sentence agreed upon, and the
confederate in the audience acknowl-
edges that he wrote it. To confirm
this the performer tears open the en-
velope and repeats the sentence as
though he found it on the enclosed pa
per, which is in reality another mans
sentence, which he reads, and then
picking up another envelope and FUN
bling it over, he calls out the sentence
he has just read. The one who wrote
it says it is right, the performer tears
open the envelope, reads what is in it,
and proceeds in that way through the

One of Worsley & Carruther's sewer
diggers on Main street yesterday,
who has eyes and can use them, bet
sundry beverages of a cheering ma
ture with one of his fellow workmen
that without locking at any watch or
clock, but by the sun and the shadow
thereof, he could tell just when four
o'clock came. As it neared that hour
a passer-by with a fine gold watch
was hailed, told the circumstance, and
asked to decide the bet. He wasn't
to open the watch till the man who
made the guess said so. The bettor
was to have five minutes either way.
Then the man who bet he could tell
swung around a couple of times, and
said ''Now." The referee looked at
his watch, it was 4:02 P. NJ, and the
man had won. After quitting time
and they were holding the stakes in a
very comfortable position under
their vests, the winner told how he
had worked it. He said he hadn't
done any guessing at all. He had
watched the custom house flag and
when he saw Sergeant Brodie haul it
down he knew it was minute or so
past four o'clock.
