NEW YORK, Jan. 24-No one, except the
girl who has learned how TO do it, can ap-
precIate the delight of plunging headlong
into a cold, tingling swimming tank
Thersis an exhilaration about It and a
keen sense of life and action that one gets
only by contact with the water and q
struggle in Its depths
The girls are trying to play polo in the
water, just as their brothers do. But this is
| one of the few cases when the girl is less
successful than her male competitor. And
the reason is not far TO seek. Girls, you
| know, are proverbially tenderhearted and
| they cannot bear to treat each other to the
| little roughness that boys do not mind at
/ a
another sweet, womenly ditto under the
water until she 10 drowned into giving up the
ball which she is holding in her determined
| clasp. Men do not mind this at all They
/ enjoy seeing each other struggle and get
/ hurt bit. But not so with the girls A
squirm, a little Shrek and feminine squeal
or two, is sufficient to make the stoutest
hearted of her sex weaken and let go her
prey. And thai is the reason why water
| polo with US is not such bowling success
as 1T might be.
Girls have a mania for collecting wine
| glasses and the boys know it. So when they
ask fair damsel out to supper, they know
that the price Of half a dozen wine glasses
| is to be charged up OF the profit and loss ac-
count. This is the way the little cheats go
about it. 1t is not done openly, but in a sort
| OF subterfuguous way.
What perfectly sweet wine glass" ex-
| claims Miss Faircheat. "How very pretty;
| on )" with wistful look at the waiter, IF l
| only might have it."
And then the waiter, to make sure of a
| good, big tip, says: "You may ave it,
Miss l ave to paw my share of the break
age aud 'aven't broke thing this week ;"
Into the pocket of Miss Faircheat goes the
| glass, and the same programme is repeated
/ with variations throughout the course, until
a very fair collection of nice glassware is
| amassed. The young man, meanwhile, gets
no thanks for the booty The waiter gets
it all. And only the young man and the
base waiter ever know how the affair is
| really settled.
The girl with plain skirt that hangs to
| perfection and who can wear her furs SUI
| perbly is the one who is setting the town
| crazy as she walks out of an afternoon. Any
| woman can get herself into straight hang
ing skirt, but it is only the woman with
straight limbs and erect form who can
carry off that skirt to graceful perfection.
| This much, too, in the selection of fu S.
Only woman with long, slender throat
| and nicely rounded chest should muffie her-
| self in high collar or a boa. A woman of
| flesh looks as II choking in such a collar,
and boa gives her the appearance of ap-
| oplexy. The woman who can carry off
this seasons furs gracefully is the one who
can persuade her hair to be fuzzy and
frizzy without suspicion Of its being
| frowsy.
Hey day What's this we're hearing now
An innocent girl can not speak Of her
| lover any more because ''lover" is now ac-
cepted in its continental significance and
means bad. One may have q betrothed
husband, friend or an acquaintance. But,
slower" mol not Too bad chat SO many OF
our pretty United States English words are
coming to have disagreeable. half hidden
| constructions. 1t makes one timld about
| speaking freely for fear of offending against
| good taste
Don't try to be perfect, boys, il you want
the girls to love you. "Our Chauncey"
says that perfect man would be "a crea-
ture who could find no congenial companion
in the club, society, business or politics, and
| no woman would live with him. And vet
it is nice and it isn't lovable to be naughty
real naughty. But there are little seductive
ways and little daring slips of manner that
make US love each other all the more for
| them. We love people who have failings,
| because we have them ourselves, and we
| like to feel that we are no worse than others.
And then the dear little paughtinesses are
| 50 taking and SO captivating that we could
| not help loving them even if we were never
| guilty of the same weaknesses ourselves
| Let us have amiaDility with u spice of con-
trariety, dash of acidity and large pro-
portion Of ''failings." These people who
are always perfectly o. K. are terrible
AS often as not now, one sees a box
| beauty with hair astrew and big fiaring hat.
To keep up the general dashiness big fan
is also added. This style of loosened tresSes
is allowable only at the opera and, then,
must not be worn by her who has passed
the line of warm, sweet, fresh eighteen.
Let not the girl of q season or so presume
upon the privileges of youth, for of
| surety, the fraud will be detected and
| laugh will follow at the would be-youthfu
ones expense. The juvenile fad is only
done in accordance with our Europe
American idea that girls are to be children
until they are fully grown up.
Nothing is better for an appetizer than a
nice, fresh, cold salad, unless it be two
nice, fresh, cold salads. But to make up a
delicious entity, every thing must be per-
feet. The salad plants must be clean and
dry, the oil direct from Lucca and the vim
egar the purest that can be brought
forth from clean apples and a new cider
press.
Ii one is bit dainty, rather critical, al
most exacting, aid feels the need of a
stomach ticker, Russian salad is the
thug par erceitence to accomplish this end
Mix for this tonic dish equal quantities of
chopped beetroot, boiled, and celery; add
dash of scraped horseradish and then pour
over-not mayonnaise this time-but a
mixture of oil, vinegar, pepper and salt
A Swedish salad is more complicated and
is good thing TO eat when you have al
ready got an appetite and want big dish
of something. This is the way to get it up.
Chop up nearly the same quantity of cold
potatoes and boiled beets, put On a couple
OF teaspoons of the water in which the beets
were boiled add two picked behring's
minced, raw apple, picked cucumber
