| ways are good enough for me. But, dear girls,
| you who love tennis, let me call your attention
TO something in your line: corset to wear
while at play. 1t is made of satin MORE or
ticking, and has no whalebones. These are re-
placed by newly invented material which sup
ports the figure without cramping or bracing it.
leaving the player all her supple and willowy
grace.
Harry Littlethought was playing tennis with
one of the Folles de ROLES the other day, the
stout and oldish one, when in making great
effort to stop ball, something broke with loud
snap.
What was that?'' cried Harry very inno-
Gently.
ooh, nothing, only one of the bones of my
heart, - was the reply of Miss BERTHE
Bones OF your HEARTH echoed the malicious
boy. 81 see now how you've been able 10 steel
1t against our sex for so many years
An altogether taking dress for calling or af-
ternoon receptions has made its appearance,
consisting of fancy tweed, noisette brown
made redingote style, Figaro corsage with
black silk grelots in front, edge opening on
vest completely incrusted with renaissance de-
sign in black cording; the skirt straight and
clinging also trimmed in the same way. The
sleeves are entirely without trimming. With
this costume Is worn the little Spanish cape,
harmonious in color, thrown back over the
shoulder and held around the neck by a gold
cordeller. The cape may also be of cream col
ored cloth, gray beige, or red, as taste may die
tate. The ensemble is striking and and refined.
Speaking of ensembles, 1 know there are some
fact, time and money wasted, to strike for
brilliant ensemble. Say they, and with some
ISASOus y hOILdu aim 10 10 some one
thing well and stake her fame on it. In DRESS
for instance, she should make study Of her
good points, and select one for her best thought
1t may be bonnets or shoes or wraps OF dresses
or even gloves. The philosophy of the position
is that no man or woman of intelligence goes
over toilet like q secondhand dealer previous
to making bid. A woman's foot or face or a.
ure attracts a mans notice, and ask him ques-
tions relating to any wart OF her toilet and he is
dumb.
Didn't see how she was draped; was looking
at her feet or at her dimples.'
But don't reduce this doctrine to an absurd
fty. One of the Miss Folles de ROLES, the old
ish one, has very beautiful teeth. She shows
them upon the slightest provocation (not speak
ing hguratively, OF course). Meeting Mrs.
Hope-Wen and not having heard of her hus-
bands death. she asked very politely after the
old gentleman's health.
''Mr. Hope Well is dead.''
"Ah, (teeth) beg pardon, (teeth) so sorry"
(Teeth).
The widow thinks her heartless person, but
she isn't.
The last soft and summary robe
to which shall call your at
tention is pale gray surah, made with q fat
band of velvet round the skirt, and cut in bars
so as to let the gray silk show through. The
bodice trimming makes pretty contrast. The
hat Is of black velvet trimmed with bows of
white ribbon and the sunshade is of white silk,
all in all q very artistic arrangement of black
aud white, novel and effective. 1t is the anti
pedes OF the one worn by the olGish ingenue
whom discussed further back. That was all
contemplation. This hat means business,
action. It comes at you theway some men shake
hands with other men, shake them up and then
jerk them forward to see how heavy their heels
are.
