JUSTLY REBUKED.
The Way Caller Sat on a Tardy Hostess.
Pittsburg Dispatch.


1t is the fashion of the women to keep
visitors waiting an unconscionable time
for absolutely no reason at all but to graft
fly a caprice or fad Of theirs. Heaven
knows where they got the idea, but some
of the dear creatures imagine that it is a
canon of high-bred etiquette to let caller
cool his or her heels in the parlor for half
an hour or so after the servant brings up
the card. This impertinence is most ofteu
offered by women to women.
A suburb young woman who had high
birth and an abundance of money sauciIy
told a girl in her set recently that she
always kept callers waiting twenty min
utes before she appeared. The girl who
received this valuable piece of news called
upon the golden calf few days afterward.
She sent up her card and the footman re-
turned with the message that Miss -
would be down in a few minutes. The
caller took out her watch, and when
seven minutes had expired wrote upon one
of her cards: Il have been gone just thir-
teen minutes.
Leaving this card on the table, the young
lady took her departure

Progressive Beauties.

History mentions numerous women who
have endeavored, With greater or less sue
cess, to change the color of their hair,
Mary, Queen of Scots, had naturally mag
nifcently glossy black hair, but, after the
historic voyages from Calais over seas to
Scotland, and her reception by the sandy
haired Scotch, she sought to give an au-
burn hue to her tresses- possibly from an
aesthetic desire to oe in harmony with her
environment. Unhappy Marie Antoinette
discovered a Frenchman who had com
pounded powder having the quality of
giving to the hair the rich dark-brown
Characteristic of the Madonnas painted by
many of the old masters. At one time, in
the heyday of the Roman Empire, the
wealthiest and most fashionable of the
patrician DANES ate certain herbs, and
took complicated course of medicinal
baths, with the object of Tightening the
shade of their hair A similar attempt is
recorded of Arabian beauties of the time
the Caliph Omar.
