American possessor lets it glide %sinuously

affectation unworthy an American girl.
Let him admire it who will.
But having the pose. the gait and the
voice of Murray Hill. the art Of acquisi-
ton must still be carried IN. American
girls have lovely hands, small, soft and
beautifully shaped; but the fashionable
girl takes great care not to care too well

have them too much manicured. Care
for your nails, punctiliously, of course,
but avoid she continues oracularly,

we know it must be avoided. The aim Of
the really fashionable New York belle is
to keep free from the "madding crowd"
"Oh we don't do that, it's 30 com
mon" she says, and she no longer counts
her ball bouquets by the dozen, because

1t is also quite a Ia mode at the present
time TO be healthy. The pale, delicate
creatures who were supposed TO be ultra
refined and extremely elegant three or
o decades & would find themselves
met with an exasperating pity or a half
concealed contempt should they parade
their fragile selves along the fashionable
line today. Bright eyes, a fresh COM
plexion and cheeks that have the hue of
health, whether it be a rudy tinge or a
clear pallor, are good form for this age,
however little they may have been ad-
mired by Sir Charles Grandson or
affected by Lady Pamela.
But the girl of fashion must be more
than and healthy. There is q
stylish way or the reverse for her to &C.
complish every movement, however
simple. The way she sits or stands, how
she walks. enters and leaves a carriage,
carries a parasol or muff, gathers q wrap
about the shoulders, adjusts the lorgnette

done ~fashionably, which it must be con-
fessed is not always properly. Every

for all of which we have the athletic
fad to be grateful to.
Accent and intonation are two promi-
nent factors in the curriculum of the
Our Hundred. There are really two
voices in use in fashionable society to-
day. either of which is considered quite
proper. One swell girl speaks rapidly
and without much infection, and while
her voice is not loud, there is a penetrat-
ing timbre to it which makes it very
distinct and easily heard. 1t is a pleas
ant voice when it is not too manifestly
an artificial one. Some girls overdo the
matter and acquire a nasal tone that is
objectionable. The other equally swell
girl has, or thinks she has, the English
drawl. She pitches her tones in a con-

very long at a time. If we did we could
not stand up under the accumulation.

during that time 1 have learned to play
the banjo, mandolin and either, as every

well is to swim and play tennis. One
season l belonged to a Shakespeare class,
the next l had mornings with Shelley,
and for two Lents l was a member OF a
Browning club. This winter we are con-
templating Ibsen, and some of us have to

Ceramics, tapestries, heraldry-these are
merely a hint of the subjects one may
be called upon at any moment to discuss
intelligently, and 1 really will not go to
a flower show now. for orchids are a
sealed book to me. The different i'm
ported entertainments are another tax
upon ones knowledge. Just when you
know n kirmess from a May dance you
are asked to participate in a Venetian
flashing, and when you have read up to
go to see a Greek play somebody lectures
on Buddhist ~ceremonials for q fashiona-

All Of which confirms the original
proposition that to be a fashionable
young woman in the year of grace eigh-
teen hundred and ninety is a complex
and intricate thing.

On the river OF life, as ! Goat along,
see with the spirits sight
That many n nnuseous weed OF wrong
Has root in a seed OF right.
For evil is good that has gone astray,
And sorrow Is only blindness,
And the world Is always under the sway
OF a changeless law of kindness
The commonest error a truth can make
Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse.
And sin Is only the souls mistake
In misdirecting Its force.
And love, the fairest OF all fair things
That ever to men descended,
Grows rank with nettles and poisonous things
Unless 1t Is watched and tended.
There could not be anything better than this
Old world In the way It began,
And though some matters have gone amiss
From the great original plan;
And however dark the skies may appear,
And however souls may blunder,
/ tell you 1t all will work out clear,
For good lies over and under.

A unique sort of holder, suitable to use
with the afternoon tea equipage, was
sold at a fashionable store during the
holiday season. 1t can be made of two
kinds of cloth, or, more fancy still, of
velvet and satin. Cut two pieces of dark
velvet exactly the shape of Fig. I and
about seven inches long. Sew them to-
gether in a firm seam across the top and
down to the crosses. Then work eyes
and mouth in the head and wings on
each half Of the velvet, as in Fig II.
Stuff the figure with cotton, being sure
that the head and tail are well filed out.
Then separate the layers of cotton at the
bottom, so that part will lie against each
half Of the velvet between the crosses

extreme. 1t is the girl who thinks she
is stylish who puts forty bangles on one
wrist, sticks an amber or gilt dagger, ten
inches long, through her hair, draws a
white veil with black dots just over her
pretty nose, and, hugging a tightly strap

handle to her breast, starts out to shop.
The really swell girl, by the way, does
not "shop." She drives out with mamma
to order things-always before2 o'clock.
In her speech the fashionable young
lady has her vocabulary as she has her

One of the latest "fads" at 0 o'clock
tea is to serve only bread and butter
with the tea or cocoa. Sometimes the
bread is prepared outside and brought
in ready to serve, cut very thin and
nicely buttered. But the favorite way
is to have a bread board and trencher on
the table which holds the tea things,
and to cut and butter the bread before
the guests. Perhaps the last two verbs
in the preceding sentence should be re-
versed, for n way of serving the bread

CLEVELAND, Sept. GA friEktful ac-
cident occurred at the Wilson avenue
crossing Of the New York, Chicago & st.
Louis railroad at 7:30 o'clock tonight, by
which at least n dozen persona were terri
bly, injured, some fatally. The crossing
is on a steep grade, down which runs an
electric street railroad line, At the time
the accident occurred q freight train was
standing close to the crossing on the south
track. An electric motor drawing one
car was approaching from the south.
The safety gates were up and the road
apparently clear. Just as the motor
crossed the railroad track. a locomotive
going twenty miles an hour dashed out
from behind the freight train. The pilot
of the engine struck the electric train be-
tween the motor and trail car, tearing
apart and hurting one to each side OF the
track. At least a score Of persons were
on the trail car and they were tumbied
about in all directions, some
being hurled q dozen feet away
and others pinned under the car, which
was demolished. The street railway
barns were close to the scene of the acci-
dent and a rescuing party was soon on
hand. The victims were taken from the
wreck and hurried away in am5ulances to
the hospital within a short time. All of
them were so badly injured hat they had

$50, 900 in bets thai he made on August
Belmont's Raceland to beat l.. Stuart's
Tristan in the mile and three-sixteenths
race at S~heepshead Bay, which ended in a
victory for Tristan. When the betting
first started on the race, Mike DwYer and
the men who usually place his money in
the ring, were seen to place thousands
after thousands on the race and at odds
from one to three and one to five. When
Dryer and his commissioners had finished
placing the bets, nine out of every ten of
the hundred odd bookmakers in the ring
barred out Raceland on all further betting,
and those that offered any odds at all did
SO at the p~rohibitory figures of one to SIX
and one to seven. just how much Dwyer
had on the race non OF the big sporting
men seen last night could say. Many OF
them say that the redoubtable Mike had
put up $50, 900 to win $1,000, while a few
place his wagers as high as s40,0
Mike Dryer has been particularly
unfortunate this year. both in the running
of horses and his betting. Conservative
estimates place his aggregate losses in the
betting ring this year at $3.50, 900. Most OF
this has been lost in playing supposed air

SPOKANE FALLS, Sept. Gust
before 6 O'Clock this evening a premature
blast killed fifteen men and possibly many
more in the Northern Pacific yard. The
full extent of the disaster is as yet un-
known. 1t was Just before the hour for
quitting work. A large force of men
were engaged in blasting a hugh ~rockpile
In the Northern Pecife freight yards in
the eastern part of the city, From fifty
to seyenty-hye men were at work in the
cut at the time. Fifteen have been taken
out dead. and q number are injured. All
is confusion and it is impossible as yet to
get names or particulars. Some of the
workmen were preparing a blast to be
touched of after workmen and teams had
departed for the night. One blast had
been prepared. In putting in the second
1t was exploded, touching off the first blast.
Twenty thousand cubic feet of rock were
thrown over upon the u~nsuspecting mass of
humanity with terrible results. Hundreds
of people gathered at the scene and the
work of taking out the dead and injured
has since been going on. The scenes at
the hospital are heartrendering.
