"reminiscences of our happy girl

Positions Assumed by the

Why some women sit down Oh the
floor to draw on their stockings is a
question not easily answered, for if the
assertion that they do is not fallacy, it
must be affirmed that some women
stake most uncomfortable position in
which to attend to this most delicate OF
Duties" Aside from any other reason,
we men would think that the floor
would prove too hard seat for the
daintlly formed women of the nine
teenth century.
When Carmencita was asked how she
put on the stockings that adorn the feet
of this terpsichorean beauty she laughed
her own little laugh, and what in any
one else would much resemble wink,
answered: 81 always use a cushion"
By the way the boudoir of this Justly
famed danseuse is ''thing of beauty"
1t is hung in old rose Surah, and with
its soft divans and doWny cushions
makes a fitting nest for this fair Span.

When Patti was asked how she donned
her hose, she smiled the smile that is
known so well, and exclaimed: II
have everything American,so of course,
| sit upon the floor when put on my
stockings"
In that wonderful old-fashioned book
''Wide, Wide World" the little Helen,
the heroine, if she may be called, when
visiting her puritanical aunt, thought it
much of hardship that her white cot
ton socks should be put over to boil
with dye and she afterwards obliged to
wear them when turned to slate color.
Fancy one of our children Of the pres
xrrhito
socks!
The finest silk is none too good for
them, and for our older women they
stop not at silken stockings, but they
must have equally handsome carriers to
fasten them with. In by-gone years it
was the custom at Easter for the fair
danes of fashion to wear pair of yell
low silk carriers to fasten above
the knee, their hose ''all for
luck's sake" 1t was discovered by
some one that these golden cirelets were
put on at Easter for luck. Since then
danes of the fashionable world have
forsaken the fancy, and this Easter, l
am in position to assert, the pretty
superstition took the form of wearing
meGium-siZed bow of purple ribbon
sewed securely on the bodice, exactly
over the heart. This new phase of the
mascot idea has not yet obtained as gen
eral popularity among the gentler sex
as its predecessor held. The purple
bow is only to be worn by young women
and widows, who hope for husbands. 1
understand that this year purple IS the
feminine lucky color, and that ribbon
of this tint worn on the prescribed spot
is believed to insure good fortune and
husband before the snow flies again.
AS an instance of the extraordinary
favor in which this hue is at present
held, must cite the case of young

is ''haIf and-half' mixture-that is,
half of it has come out Of the

where under the counter-the leav-

departs as stealthily as she came and
goes to some poor abode in the neigh

she has been there often before at a

been invented to give the husband a
plausible excuse when, returning home
tired out in the evening, he finds every
thing at skies and sevens and the pros
poets for supper somewhat remote and
dubious.
Such scenes as that described above
may be witnessed every day in the poorer
districts, but there is another class of
women who tipple, and whose ''partic-
ular vanity" costs them, or rather their
husbands, good round sum every year.
OF course, the husband does not know
he is paying for it. Oh! no; madam is
much too smart for that! She seems
very Indifferent when wine is
mentioned at meal times, and
only INDUCES more freely OH
the sly. However much she
may relish drop of something strong"
every now and then, the woman of the
world is conscious that knowledge of
this fact would prove rather severe
shock to the average man, who, no mat
ter how blase he may be in other things,
is accustomed to regard the fair sex
with more or less sentiment. She does
not wish to destroy this illusion, it it
exists, for it gives her hold which she
would otherwise not possess. and she
remains discreet.
Visits to restaurant are, therefore,
out of the question. and even if escorted
thither by gentleman madam only
takes sip of wine and lea yes her glass
nearly full. Other means must be re-
sorted to. To satisfy this desire for an
occasional tippie, women'S clubs
have been formed in some cities
very much after the fashion
of those swell establishments pa
attonized by the lords Of creation.
What transplreS within the sacred pre-
cfnts of these walls hardly ever reaches
masculine ears. But there is this OBJ
lection to club-it is too public; every
