is to loosen it by lightly tossing it about

1t Is Made TO Contain Strychnine
For Society Beauties.
Every woman in the butterfly world
is familiar with the dainty carved bon
boniere, pretty circular box of ster-
ling silver with bleeding hearts, forget
me-notS, or some other lovers blossom
brought out in repousse work. When
they came from the French salons dec
ade ago these cherished receptacleS
were filled with tiny sugar-plums of
varying color, flavor and form, that i'm
parted to the breath of the consumer a
most delicate and durable fragrance.
For some reason or other fashion
wearied of the infinitesimal sweets aud
took to carrying face-powder in the
small caSket. virtually converting it into
beauty-boX. Now another departure
has been made, and instead of powder
it is poison.
Society is actually swallowing lozen-
ges of strychnine! The disks are square
cut, 1872 of an inch in diameter, and
contain $50 of grain each. In color
they are sort of putty gray and in
taste combine the bitterness of gall,
NORWOOD and horehound. They are
only to be had at the order of physi-
clan, restriction that enhances their
value in the eyes of beauty. While it is
understood that two loZenges will send
a girl to kingdom come, one is sure
tonic, with the bracing effect of gin
cocktail. Three a day is the doctors
limit, who prescribes them to relieve
fatigue, and so, after oyer-exertion in
shopping, visiting or merely gadding, a
woman opens her bonboniere and takes
a dose of strychnine instead of taking a
nap.
This consumption of poison goes on
at all hours and in all sorts of places,
particularly the the theater, but the
church not excepted. So acoustic med
have the New York women become to
the use of the bitter disk that it is swal-
lowed with no more facial distress than
a pastile of lemon cream. In the morn
ing, and on occasions when the bonbon-
iere would be out of place, the fashion
ables have the bitter tonic concealed in
the handle of parasol. which adjust
able stick also contains glOYe-buttoner
poWder-puff and pencil.

lover fetered his sweetheart with a
bracelet fastened with q. paddock, to
which be kept the key. Many girls al :
lowed Themselves to be thus manacle d
by love and were proud of their bon d
age. 1t wasn't SO charming if there came

an entire afternoon trying to release her

She finally broke it with shoe but
toner. Before marriage the lover gen
orally wears the key upon his watch
chain; afterwards he finds iC a nuisance
and restores it to his fair prisoner and
she secures her bauble herself. But
this fashion became so common that it
is no longer in vogue, save among peo-
pie who straggle along at the tail of the
procession. There was a time when
only diamonds were permissible for en-.
gagement rings, but now sapphires and
rubes are both allowable. These rings
indeed are often given now, each one
set with different gems. and worn one
above the other. 1t is also correct for
the girl to give her betrothed ring, an
intaglio being very good form for this
purpose.
