be known, but it is asserted that those
long umbrella handles which wom-
en- affect are not always as inno-
cent as they appear, and are not
infrequently made to serve double
purpose. An advertisement appeared
recently in one of the morning papers,
in WHICH the finder of g0ld-headed
umbrella was almost frantically
appealed to to return it to its
owner, mo questions asked" The name
and address were engraved upon the
handle, but that wasn't the reason why
the owner was so anxious to have it
back again. Deity hidden away
in it was a finely-cut
sherry flask. 1t was not as long as a
mans thirst who has been out the night
before. or as deep as well, but it held
half pint or so, and was comforter
not to be despised by any one but
confirmed topper. 1t is said this novelty
a limited sale only because the price is
rather higher than woman who is not
very rich can well afford to pay.
Another continuance invented to give
rich women an opportunity to take
nip now and then is also said to have
come from the city on the Seine. 1t is
hidden pocket in the carriage. in
which a bottle Of moderate size may be
conveniently secreted. But here the
conservative spirit which characterizeS
st. Paul has come in good stead, and
this Importation from the French capt.
tai has not found much favor.
The most convenient place for tippl-
ing. however, is millinery or dress
making establishment. Every woman
buys bonnets and goes shopping. She
goes as often as she can, whether she
buys ANYTHING or not, and no one OBJ
jects to it, no one suspects anything.
Here, then, is an excellent opportunity,
and some very fashionable modistes are
not slow to profit by it. Perhaps a lady
in going through the trying ordeal of
fitting dress had fainting spell. She
was given little brandy or wine to re-
vive her. Other ladies were likely to
have the same experience, and so there
was no harm in having small side
board. From helping customer over
an occasional faint it became quite the
thing to have a decanter at hand. Of
course. nothing can be purchased there;
everything is free. The bonnet bill is.
perhaps, lutte higher than it would be
at another establishment, but then it is
an ultra fashionable places. and every
body who can afford it goes there.

life, does not disdain to conciiitate the
fates by wearing this lucky emblem.
The Duchess of Marlborough our own
fair Lily of Troy, who lately sailed for
England, and her liege lord and master,
when first married to the duke, was
compelled to sit upon divan when
putting on her stockings and the neces-
sary appendages thereto. but since she
has been across the sea she has taken
necessary means to reduce all superhu
Gus flesh, and now to show her patriotic
American heart she commences once
more to sit upon the floor to put on her
leg dress as she did when child.
Elsie Gle Wolf, the dainty amateur
actress, cannot, she AYERS, sit on the
floor when performing her toilette, for
fear of catching cold. 49, 70
But again, Mrs. Rosalie BIoodgood,
another amateur actress, performs this
act whilst sitting there, and most charm
ing do her shoes and stockings always
look. By the bye, one of the ornaments
in the library of Mrs. Bloodgood's house
in West Thirty-fourth street, is one of
the satin slippers she wore as abri@
fifteen years ago. So petite is it. that
most people at first sight think it a
miniature in the shape OF a bonbon-
Mere. ~ 10
Mrs. William c. Whitney, the wife of
the ex-secretary of the navy. owing to-
her avoirdupois, had to give upi thel
fashion of her childhood, and rests now

Mrs. E. Marcy Raymond and Mar
quiSe Lama. the dainty blonde daugh-
ter of DR.. Hammond, both answered
when questioned that they preferred to
sit upon the floor when donning their
hose. Madame la marquise also added:

old-faShioned." The little SONS of this
fair dame, as she has no daughters to
walk in her footsteps. are brought up to
put on their socks and shoes whilst
sitting on the floor.
:. The mature Mrs. Paran Stevens,
owing to her rather cOrpulent figure.
AYERS that she always uses divan to sit
upon to don her silken hose, whilst her
daughter, who married Capt. Arthur
Paget, cllngs to youthful habit and sits
upon the floor.
When questioned as to the why and
wherefore Of the old custom of using
the floor as seat for this purpose, the
most general answer is, because we
did it as children.o This is no doubt
satisfactory to them. but to logical mas
culine minds it would seem that soft
cushion would be preferable. The pref
.erence for sitting OH the floor or not sit
ting on the floor seems to be held by an
equal number of those who can sit on
the floor if they choose, but when the
fair dame has superiority Of flesh, then
the old custom is abandoned and the

are made to learn that time has no re-

mark alike on queen and peasant.
Therefore, Mary of Cambridge and

of the mansion acknowledged, when
asked directly, that she always sat on
these to don her stockings. She added,
however, that when child she sat
upon the floor, but since she had become
woman she had ''put away childish
things" When Mrs. Cleyeland's natty
maid opened the hose-drawer. my eyes
were delightfully."- gladdened by the
sight of so many divers colors and
tints in silken stockings. The ex-
first lady of the land has stockings
to match each costume worn, but she
prefers black ones as rule, though a
favorite color is deep tan color, which
she wears with tan-colored skin slippers,
with marvellous old fashioned silver
buckles on them. OF course, the carriers
of this fair matron match the color of
the stockings worn, and some of these
necessary adjuncts to woman's toilette:
are remarkably pretty. One pair OF
gold in the form of four-leaf clover

throat diseases, you can get pretty
good idea of the extent to which tipp-
ling is practiced By the fair sex. A large
majority of the patients who come to be
treated for affections of the larynx are
given to the use of tobacco; they either
smoke or resort to dipping"
But what has smoking to do with the
use of stimulants? you will ask.
Well, just this: A woman who
SMOKES almost always drinks. The two
halt seem to supplement- each other.
The use of tobacco has the effect of
driving the blood from the brain. and
liquor brings about just the opposite re-
suit After smoking. a woman-and
men. too. for that matter-feels the
need of bracer, and she will have 1T if
she can do so without losing caste. For
this latter consideration is, after all. a
mighty lever in keeping women on the
path of virtue and rectitude.

The costume here given is OF thin,
smooth finished cloth in delightful
tint that is neither distinctly blue nor
purely gray, but is a mingling of
both. The tight-ftting corsage and
coat sleeves, and the border
band upon the skirt are of ben
galine shade darker. which has hair
lines of old rose, which make pretty
contrast to the ground color. Above
this silk facing upon the skirt. and also
around the arm-hole of the sleeveless
Jacket, is design in appliqued velvet
and silver braid. A sham pocket is also
outlined by braiding upon the right hip,
and the little jacket is bordered all
round with row of velvet.

New YORK, July S.-This week we
are enabled through the courtesy OF
Redfern to offer to the readers OF the
GLOBE a glimpse of some charming cos
tunes now being prepared at his Lon
don establishment for some European
royalties-the Princess Mary of Teck,
and her daughter, the young Princess
Victoria, who, if Dame Kumor
be not joking, may, at some
future day. be called upon to reign
as queen of England. That is, if her
second cousin, facetiously known as
''Collars and Cuffs" be fortunate
enough to gain her favor and so secure
for his bride the young lady who is ac-
knoWledged to have greater claims to
beauty than any of the continental
prineesses. She is tall, fair girl. with
rather full face and hlue-gray eyes;
and is lucky enough to have such wide
shoulders and swelling bust as are seen
to best advantage in tailor gown.

HIS STARLIGHT.

You. who at my elbow sit,
By whose eyes my lines are lit,
How shall any poets pen
Go amiss or falter when
Stars like these shine out above
Beacons kindled there by love-
Lighting up the paths below
Where he wanders to and fro?
Is it strange the rhymes should kiss
Under such a spell as this?
They but mimic those, my sweet,
Who of old were wont to meet
Meet and linger at the bars.
Making love beneath the stars:
We ourselves were happy rhymes
In those dear betrothal times.
Take this lyric: every line
But reflects the stars that shine
Ger my shoulder. telling me
OF my sweetheart's constancy;
And il any word appear
Vague or needless, say you, Here
Went cloud across his skies;
This is where its shadow lies.
But if any turn of phrase
Tempt your lips to lisp its praise,
Know you there the poet caught
From your eyes the graceful thought;
All the merits of his song
TO those constant stars belong
To those tender eyes that brim
Full with love TO gladden. him.

them work at one thing or another and
enjoy good incomes. They form a de-
lighIful colony. This particular den is
the abode of particularly clever young
woman. The floor Is of bricks, painted
yellow ard spread with rugs i'll shades
of yellow and brown. The walls have
been washed in with cloudy
brown, the effect of which is
rather ancient and mellow and
altogether agreeable. Above this is a
frieZe of yellow, on which are storks
and other quaint figures in brown. The
ceiling is creamy tint, splashed here
and there with ruddy light in old red
or gold. There is a fireplace in one
corner, built of yellow bricks, and the
windows are curtained with soft WOODEN
stuffs in yellow. The chairs are in
antique shape in yellow-brown oak,
and a big divan is heaped with
cushions which repeat the coIors. The
walls are hung with etchings and these
are in oak frames. Over the doors there
are shelves. and on these and Oh the
