expensive but beautiful clasps to harmonic
with her different dresses.
Pve a deal Of respect for the woman who,
when1 say her hat is all wrong goes home
and puts her foot through it.
This last is very like Edmund. He is in
teresting. Never more so, perhaps, than
when he gets out what he calls his rag
bag' and covers himself with orange silk
to show you how gowns ought to ''pivot'
from the shoulders.
WOMEN WHO DESIGN BOOK COVERS.
1t is an interesting fact that the best de-
signers of book covers in the United States
are women. The finest work done for the
leading publishers comes from them.
Houghton Miffiin s. Co., who give unusual
attention to chaste, artistic binding, go to
woman with their most important commits
sions. G. p. Putnam's Sons and Harper
& Brothers get many of their designs from
clever woman in Brooklyn. This lady
has supplied the cover for one of Putnam's
holiday books under circumstances that
bear detailing. Every Christmas the house
illustrates something with drawings by
Abbey or Alfred Parsons for a fine gift
volume. Last year Parsons did the cover
and the publishers were not satisfied. This
year "Wordsworth's Sonnets' was the
choice, and Parsons did the pictures, but
Miss Morse her name slipped from the
point of the pencil-was called upon to sup
ply the quiet green and gold binding.
HOUSEHOLD OF WOMEN.
Up on the west side in the streets among
the nineties, is a pleasant house full Of
books which holds an almost ideal woman
family. All its inmates are busy with their
fingers and their brains, but they find time
to enjoy most thoroughly their little COM
munity. A tall, stately woman, with pink
oIxo hai, %l4
| genius. You have seen her, maybe, and
know how gracious is her manner. She is
Mrs. Abbey Sage Richardson. With her,
and lending youth and grace to the house
I hold, are two of New York's brightest
newspaper women. There is Mrs. Florence
G. ives, dark eyed and smiling, who be-
longs to the Press, and yet more to her beau
tiful, chubby boy; and there is the ubiqui-
| tous ''Woman about Town." the woman to
whose column the Erening SUMS readers
turn first for their daily dose of healthful
and merry philosophy. The woman is a
slender blonde who has read much and read
we'll, but who, nevertheless. soils her gloves
with much poking about in old bric-a- brac
shops for quaint teapots, which she loves,
for all her wit and wisdom. Lucky are you
if the Woman pours cup for you, for she
has quip in her tongue as well as at the
the end of her pen; she's a delightful
woman, is Miss Helen Watterson: it's a
delightful house, and SO the city's cleyerest
people find it of Sunday evening.
Is MRS. STANLEY BEAUTIFUL.
And they even dispute the claims tc
beauty of Mrs Dorothy Stanley. 1t was a
charming room in white enamel and she
Law back in an arm chair in a gown of deer
dead rose, making picture OF high bre6
J English womsnhood against a background
of snow and flame. And the irreverent
youth looked and said: 'She is pale, anC
why does she brush her hair off her fore
head in such peculiar rolls She is scrawny
and yet being English, she puts a grea
diamond ornament just where it will cal
! attention to her collar bone. IL everybod
} hadn't said she was handsome / wouldn'
have been so disappointed" The irrever
| emit exaggerates matters, but it is true tina
most of Mrs Stauley's beauty is in ner ex
preston. When her face is in repose it il
probably less attractive than that OF he
! sister, Mrs. Evelyn Myers, who is one o
London's clever women photographers.
WHITE BRIDESMAIDS.
If YOU have set your eyes and your hear
on a young man who is slow in returnin
: the affection and the gaze, suppose you as
friend who is on the eve of marriage I
suffer you to be bridesmaid. Then ma
you-must you if you follow fashion-wea
white SILK frocK and cover your head wit
9 tulle veil. You will not put on lace an
/ diamonds like her who is entering into ma
u rimony but you will look more pretty an
equally bridal, and the passage of a though
d will be facilitated into the brain of tn
young man.
