just to give the home seamstress some
practical ideas now when she needs
them.
There's no girl in the universe except
the American girl who can teach or
write or sing for her living all the year
and act like princess royal when she
gets away for her vacation. All the
luxurious, high-bred gentility of the
society queen who doesn't comb her own
hair promptly comes to the summer girl
when she shakes off her shackles, and
though she has made her own dresses
and earned them besides, there's nothing
of the working woman about her when
her work for the year is done.
Now, any clever girl, with a mother
or sister to pin up the seams, can make
out of simple cashmere or crepe lisse
the most fetching kind of gown with
only simple skirt of material in old
rose or stem green with black hounc-
iDgs, or blue. white or soft gray with
white flouncing. and the little coat
waist with full chemisette of null and
wrinkled sash of silk. The hounce on
the skirt is gathered in clusters with
ribbon knotted and fastened below the
heading. Almost any clever girl may
make the gown, but only the girl with
the plump and dimpled neck can wear
it with grace. 1t seems very hard that
the pretty girls who do not need pretty
gowns to make them charming are the
only ones who can wear them.

REMARKABLE cRONIES.
Six Old Men of Mobile, Ala, and Their
Peculiar Habits.

Six Old Men of Mobile, Ala, and Their
Peculiar Habits.
Very curious people inhabit this cor
ner of the civilized world, and perhaps
among the most curious were the six
peculiar old men of Mobile, says an
Alabama writer. Two OF these old men
were great cronies. They loved to be
in company the one with the other, and
they never failed to meet once each
day during the later years of their
lives; but their daily meetings were
curious. Uncle John sat each evening
by his fireside reading book or paper,
and about 7 oclock Uncle William came
into the room, gave glance at John,
and then, picking up book or paper
from the table, sat gravely down in his
chair opposite John, and began read
ing. No word was said. The two old
men read silently for two or more
hours, sometimes as late as ii o'clock,
when William folded his paper or laid
down his book, and in silence as before,
took his hat and departed. These old
men were never known to exchange a
word during their meetings.
There were two other old cronies in
Mobile. These had the habit of walk
ing out together every afternoon at
o'clock. They lived in the same
street. Their promenade took them to
the. river front, the wharves of which
were then, as now, famous place
whereon Mobilians "took the air. :"
Departing they were in the best of
huinor, chatting pleasantly of the top
les of the day but returning they were
invariably in the worst temper imagin-
able, abusing each other for every
fault possible, and calling each other
every name short of pickpocket and
horsethief Stopping at their several
front doors. they would shake their
fists at each other and solemnly de-
clare that never. so long as they should
live would they condescend to notice
each other. The anger was genuine,
and the language very warm. By the
next afternoon, however, the sky had
cleared and the old gentlemen appeared
promptly at the o'clock hour, and,
saluting, would begin their walk and
their talk, which always ended in the
quarrel above described.
There were yet two other men of
Mobile. They would be old if they
were now alive, but by the time they
came into view they were hardly be-
yond the middle age. As chums they
had early in life taken a room together
down on st. Francis street; but. I'M
fortunately, during the first month Of
their occupancy of their rooms they
| quarreled over some trivial matter and
resolved to cease speaking. Neither
of them would consent to vacate the
premises. They had taken the room
together, and each one thought he had
as good right to possession as the
other; therefore, out of pure obstinacy,
neither would bulge. So they lived
together, and whenever the one had
any instructions to impart or request
| to make of the other, the instruction or
request was reduced TO writing and
the written sheet placed on the center
table in the room, where later the per-
! son addressed found 1t and left .

cient origin, there being the mummy
of woman in the British Museum

cient kings who could not write their

thumbs, with which they signed inn

Falstaff declared that when he was

In Germany rings were worn on

In this country wearing a ring upon
