The waist is plain in the back with sur

cuffs in many even folds are the same, and
folds OF satin serge show the slashings of the

dispense with the irritating parasol, which
is de trop past midsummer.
THE POPULAR PARAsoL.
The onlp virtual excuse ever given for q
parasol three-fourths the year was that of a
very nice young woman, that she liked to
have something in her hands to think of
The parasol Is the ruin of grace in walking
for no woman can move with firm free
carriage when she has to bear a canopy or
pavilion to shade her sacred features, and
must adjust it with respect to every other
pavilion she meets. But it is enough on the
subject, for women are quite prepared to ex-
change the routine o. masculine life for
their own, but not to give up the cumber-
some parasol. The fixed idea of custom
must be credited TO the god of flies; the more
useless, tirosome thing they are the more
impossible TO get rid of them.
The second figure will also be pronounced
stylish and in thorough keeping. The lines
OF satin roleaux or of ribbon velvet, or
heavy fat silk braid, relieve the light cloth
skirt Just enough, and the waist with its
slight elegant braiding, its pointed belt in
front Joining the basque back is one to make
the best OF any rounded figure. The velvet
sleeves gathered by a leaf OF passementerie
in a tressy puff, suggest a good way to re-
model plain coat sleeves BY adding this
pulled strap and ornament. The old

PRETTY soNGsTRESS' WOE.
Could the handsome tenor singer who, in
dainty satin, powdered wig and with such
pink cheeks and shapely mouth, makes
love to and wins the heroine of the opera,
ever'be anything that is not sweet and kiss
able? I'll warrant that the impressionable
matinee girl, who hangs so delightedly upon
his utterances, does not believe so. And
yet the fair thing is not always delicious, as
little anecdote that I will narrate can
prove.
There is little love of a comic opera
lady in town with whom the whole COM
munity is IN complete sympathy. She is as
dainty IS q Dresden china figure and sings
with the fresh vlgor of bird. As she re-
ceives the devotion of the tenor in the opera
all the club men in the audience heave en-
vious sighs, for she seems to enjoy the little
kisses that the fortunate man bestows upon
her cheek, and the club men think that it
must be very jolly to caress beauty that
receives marks of alteration in such a re-
sponsiye spirit. Viewed from the front the
kisses OF the tenor seem highly agreeable
things of their kind, and the matinee girls
fancy that they could be as charming and
radiant as the exquisite actress if that hand
some young man were only exercising upon
their cheeks instead. Behold the truth of
the case. Only few days ago the tenor re-
ceived pretty little note from the fair
artist. It read as follows:
A STARTLING LETTER.
"Dear Mr.. Blank-I sincerely trust that
by mentioning a most delicate grievance
that have against you 1 shall not hurt
your feelings. Being brought into close
contact with you by the exigencles of our
parts in the opera I am. forced to suffer Sc
verely from the odor of garlic, for which
species of refreshment you appear to have
perpetual fondness, its aroma never having
been absent from you since your first ap-
pearance with me. have refrained as long
as possible from speaking to you Of the
matter, having hoped that you would
