soHE FAMOUS BLONDES.

It is possible to make an extended
catalogue of noted English and American
women whose personal charms have been
of the blonde type. Harriet Lane, whose
reign at the White House in James
Buchanan's day is still social milestone,
was blonde with "golden hair, deep
violet eyes, and peculiarly beautiful
mouth" Kate Chase, the belle of Lin
coins Administration, had auburn hair.
Harriet Williams, the Georgetown beauty,
who married Count de Bodisco, the Rus
sian Minister at Washington, and became
the belle of.St. Petersburg,,,w was 'magg-
nifcent woman with golden hair and
brown eyes," Saidee Polk Fall, the belle
of Nashville, has reddish-golden hair.
Beautiful Consuelo Yznaga, now Lady
Vaudeville, has brown eyes and black
eyebrows, but her hair is mass of gold.
Miss Mabel Wright, perhaps the prettiest
girl in New York society, has been called
1.-THE most exquisite blonde ever seen on
this side of the Atlantic" and Mrs.
Adolph Ladenberg, the married belle,
has a pink complexion, blue eyes and
curling hair that "is like spun gold. "
Amelie Rives has straw-colored hair,
which she ties in Pysche knot, and
violet eyes. Marie Bashkirtseff, the fair
Russian artistic about::whom the world is
talking, was a slender and delicate pink
checked blonde.
Many of the ladies in the Administra-
ton circles at Washington, including
Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Mckee and Miss
Mildred Fuller, are blondes, and the list
might be extended indefinitely. If the
blonde is going out of existence she is,
from all indications, going out in a blaze
of glory.-Epoch.

PRETTY FINGER NAILS.

"Your nails always look so niceP
overheard one damsel remark to anothe9
not long ago." says a writer. "Do yod
go to manicure every day9"
"Oh, no, I have never been to one, fey
it is the easiest thing in the world ta
take care of ones own nails-just it6y
care every day."
"Well, I've tried and tried, and can'
make mine look decent. Tell me what
you do"
Here listened for the prescription
which in sum and substance was as tolA
lows:
sin order to keep the skin back from
the nail I use nail brush freely, using ia
on the nails particularly. Then, in dryd
ing my hands, I work the towel from the
point of the nail back toward the finger.
I cut my nails often, and don't let them
get too long. By cutting the nails in.
such way that the corners do not adj
here to the skin, ,hang-nails can be avoided
and the shape of the nails changed
When the nails are thin and inclined to
break, frequent oiling is necessary, and
the nails should never be polished, except
when some oily substance is used besides
the powder. This keeps the nails more
pliable, and no matter how thin they arcs
if properly treated they are no more liable
to break than thicker ones. Another
thing that is bad for the nails is polish
ing them too roughly. They should be-
lightly touched and not rubbed until
they become heated. This is one cause
of white spots coming on the nail and
marring its beauty. A little attention.
every day will make any hand look nice. 7
To this conversation which I overheard
let me add a word or two about the
hands. To make them white they should
be occasionally rubbed with lemon juice
and water. The hands should never be
allowed to remain long soiled with any!
thing that will stain them. But unless
there is some reason for it, it is better
not to wash the hands too often. They.
should be dried with soft towel. 2,

ribly Hurt.

A remarkable and disastrous accident has
occurred in the high school at Lexington,
ILL., Professor jess was conducting expert
mcnts in chemistry in which oxygen was
generated in a retort composed in part of
iron, with iron pipe connections. while the
apparatus was surrounded by pupils and
teachcrs the rctort exploded with deafen.
inS noise that was heard all over the town,
ami brought scores of terrified parents
floci,irg to the scene. Pieces of the iron were
driven through the brick walls, and the
windows were blown out, followed by clouds
of steam and smoke.
Twenty persons had received injuries
more or less severe, Willie almost miraculously
~ @ one was killed outright A piece of the
iron had been blown through can of gasc-
line, which was ignited, but fortunately the
flames were e1tinguished before much
damage was done.

BosToN's LATEST FASHION.

The very latest fad, which has travelled
about the country in the wake of the
celebrated English Psychologist, has
struck Boston with full force. This is
the adoption, by ladies of fashion, OF
Egyptian costumes at their afternoon
teas. These costumes, which in many
cases are said to be very "fetching," are
modelled after the manner of the times of
the Pharaohs. One of them, worn by a
beautiful brunette, is described as of soft
brown silk, with long, flowing sleeves,
and yoke embroidered in silver. The
petticoat is of striped Syrian silk in rose
color and silver, with a wide sash of the
same colors. The slashings of the outer
gown show Innings of Egyptian red.
Over the shoulders hangs brown gauze
veil, embroidered in silver. Slippers in
rose velvet, embroidered in silver and
seed pearls, hesh-colored stockings, a
brown pendant of dull gold and an
antique necklace of cornelian and silver
complete the costume. These gowns
will no doubt be all the rage before the
season is over.-Boston Adcertiser.

PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR

PROPER FOOT GEAR.

A woman with large feet should never
wear a patent leather shoe. On this
point it is best to be truthful with ones
self and ones bootmaker. You need not
tell your intimate friends that your feet
are too large to look we'll in patent
leather boots; wear an unobtrusive boot
and they will discover how small your
feet are. If, however, you have small
feet wear the patent leather vamp and
the black kid uppers, or of yellow or
gray kid, according to the color of your
gown. Then there is also boot with
cloth uppers, patent leather vamp and
tip, with moderately high heel.
