She Dresses Well, Too.

Her daily futter through Twenty-third
street, with all its opportunities for observ-
ing the latest importations in the show
windows have put her up to a thing or two,
and so her white muslin or probably tulle
gown is both coquettsh and neat, and her
arms and the CLEAN of neck revealed by it
are as gratifying to the gaze as any to be
seen at a Newport function of the most
elaborate character. With flushed cheeks
and smiling lips she dances about with her
Jimmie and occasionally with her Jimmie's
friend, and it is close toadayiight before she
seeks her home. By that time the curling
bang that has framed the face so da,ntiIy
through the night is straight and limp.
There will be no curl paper put on them
again that day, however. The tired child
will bury her burning face in her pillows
for the space of an hour or so, and then there
will come the inevitable knock on her bed
room door. After a quiet toilet and cup
OF tea Name will go back to her chair in
the WorSroom, looking pale, sad and regret
ful. She is not so very unlike the fashion
able girl of society, after all.

New Terpsichorean Favorite.

The theatrical town is dancing mad. and
the cry is still they come. First our ewes
were gladened by the sinuous picture OF
Carmencita, but she is already by-gone in
our regard. Then came Otero, who makes
up for her lack OF lissome length by a racy
roundness and glorious garniture of globu-
lar grandeur, and she will last only briefly.
If these two daughters of Spain were wisps
Of hay, the donkey of gilded youth would
starve to death between them. Fortunately.
there is no such awful prospect, for Birdie
has come. Yes, Birdie Irving has not only
come, but she has danced and temporarily
conquered. The music of her heels has
touched the heart OF the gentle New Yorker
and he accepts Birdie as one of the family.
She is a feature in an otherwise poor
comic opera. Birdie arrives just in time TO
save us; for, YOU may imagine, there
would have been no war of the Roses" if
there had been a third rose of still another
color. Birdie is English, and she is a
blonde, genuine blonde, while Carmencita
and Otero are black as night. Birdie is
what is known as skirt dancer, far more
slluring style than the old-fashioned ballet.

compel attention, while this aims to per-

feet alone. Her body has much OF the won

Hunting a Pretty Foot.

Artists are among the worst crazed among
all absurd devotees of this new lot of stage
dancers 1t was to one of them that I said,
as we sat watching Otero: "Did you ever
see an artistically perfect foot on woman?''
'I once saw" was the reply, ga foot that
was at least perfect enough to be cast for q
statue without any subsequent remodeling,
I went out with b, the sculptor, few
months ago in search of girl with
handsome feet. We went to photographers
and artists without success. Not a foot that
was not misshapen or blemished. About a
week later, 1 entered tiny and tidy little
store in Grand street where 1 knew ex-
cellent draught beer was sold. The place
was deserted, save for the stout German.
As entered my eye CHANGED to fall upon a
series of marks on the clean, hardwood
floor. The marks had been made by wei
foot.

"who made those foot prints on you,
foor?" I asked.

and then gleefully shouted: Vat, dose? Wy

"By careful explanation of my reasons
for being inquisitive on so delicate subject
prevailed upon the man to ask his daugh-
ter if she would not allow me as an artist to
look upon her bare foot in order to see if it
was suitable to be used in marble statue.
He went into the room at the back of the
shop, and presently returned bringing tall
and slender young blonde woman with
wonderfully frank eyes, fine shoulders, a
deliciously poised chin and long limbs.
She was dressed as one would expect the
daughter of Grand street beer merchant
to be.
''The girl eyed me carefully, and then
said that she was willing to show me her
foot, suiting the action to the word, and
thrusting it, all white and bare, from under
the edge of her dress. was amazed. 1t

LIGHT GARDEN WORK.

Moderate outdoor exercise-that is, fast
exhaustion-is the best medicine for digest
i've trouble, especially for the queasy stom-
achs LETT by the grip. One of the very best
exercises for this is the very essential one in
most gardens OF picking out stones from the
borders and throwing them in a heap. There
is no brain wear about it, but shoulders and
arms come into play, and the bending and
rising call the muscles of the back and alb
domen into action, Strengthening them and
the organs they contain. It is valuable for
reducing the girth of the waist, and better
than horseback riding for contracting
paunchy outlines.
