FINGER RING HABIT.
Some Queer Peeuliarities Of
the Unfortunate Vic
tim.
Proper That the Fair Sex

Vanity,
But the Fool Killer Should

servers.

Some excuse may be offered for those
of the fair sex who find it possible to
wear numerous finger rings, and incl
dentally parade them before friends or
strangers. When woman arlanges
her hand in such way as to suggest
that she is trying to attract atten-
ton to her rings we are not sur
prised. 1t seems eminently proper
that the gentle sex should indulge in
this and similar vanities. It would
seem. however, that the fool-killer is
neglecting his work when he allows
callow young men. and some who are
no longer callow, to ape feInininity, and
put their finger rings on exhibition in
elevated road trains and other public
places.
A great many sensible, hard-headed
business men wear rings, but such are

bonds of an injurious haDlt.
And so the child grows up regardless
of the advice and warnings OF friends
and physicians, and some day the boy
or girl awakens to the fact that Its race
is disfgured. its teeth entirely out OF
place, its mouth misshapen and Its
thumb an unsymmetrical lump. And
why? Because its mother lacked the
decision necessary to correct bad
habit in a baby, or possibly because she
first encouraged or taught it the trick:
Many mothers do not seem to realize
that continual pressure on the soft and
Welding structure of the mouth and
teeth will in a short time entirely
change their natural shape ana cause
the teeth to project, in some cases In an
almost horizontal position. Once they
grow in this awkward fashion, 1t is al
most impossible to straighten them.
There is in almost every community
some otherwise pretty child with Its
mouth pressed entirely out of shape by
this habit, and more than one person
suffers serious annoyance because OF the
difficulty IN putting on fine glove
over the pudgy, deformed thumb that
was such a comfort in infancy and
childhood.
Parents who regard their children's
future welfare will take care to correct
habits that will cause them mortitica-
ton in after life. OF these habits few
are more disiguriug than the too COM
mon practice of sucking the thumb.

Special Letter to the Globe.
NEW YORK. July 1.-RedfeIn's latest
devise for insuring comfort and con-
Venience for the ladies who visit his
parIors is so new that it is worthy of
note. He is having a waiting room
built in each of his business houses,
comfortably furnished with restful
chairs, ETC., and fitted with the latest
improvement in the way of Edi-
sons monographs, by whose means
visitors may enjoy the latest popular
operas from London or Paris. When
ones eyes are tired with the simmer of
silk or the tangle OF lace, they can
lounge into the music room and listen
to a symphony of ShuDert's, or, if they
list, can mix themselves in the mex
tricable mazes of List or Wagner, or,
on a rainy day, how pleasant TO stroll
into this friendly haven, while the
photograph sings "Wait Till the Clouds
Roll By" or recites the "COurtship
Under the Umbrella"
The duchess of COnnaught, whose
husband, Prince Arthur, is general of
the Southern division III the English
army, and who has his headquarters at
the government house. Portsmouth, has
a monograph so that on rainy days she
can enjoy the strains of the military
band, which plays daily on the common,
without leaving her room. This
photograph is the delight of the
Connaught nursery, and no pleasure is
so great to the little princess and
princesseS as, when they are allowed to
go to the duchess room and listen to
the wonderful trumpet that talks.
Their mother finds this Edison chef
d'cuvre useful as we'll as entertaining;
for, being called suddenly to London by
her august mother-in-laW one day,
whenit was necessary to give Instruc-
tiOns about dress needed for state
concert, she was able to leave
her orders with the photograph,
and send it across by steamer
to Cowes. Thus, for once, to all in
tents, managing to be in two places at
once, and, while pleasing the queen, in
sure getting her dress in good time.
The beautiful sketches provided this
week for the readers of the GLOBE are

billiard room, where they say Mrs.
Langtry used to fight insomnia by play
ing billiards after a stage performance
until she was quieted. The front door
opens into an enormous hall, lit by
gorgeous hanging lamp of Chinese
workmanship, and the great winding
staircase has its baluStrade upholstered
in crimson velvet. The walls Of the
drawing room are hung with ivory-cOl-
Ored satin, drawn together over the
ceiling like a tent. Some of the rooms
are hung with uncut velvet, and all the
remaining appointments speak of the
elegance of this nest, padded like a
Jewel box, where the most beautiful
woman of her day lived for many
months.
An acquaintance tells me that Mrs.
Langtry's business capacity has not
been oVerrated. and that behind that
soft exterior hides the cold. calculating
mind of the tinancier; that she is
woman of the head, rather than the
heart. 1t is very possibly true. People
are too apt to accept the conventional

sweeps to and fro through the air in an
easy conversational way. 1t goes into
the pocket for coin in commonplace
way, or it lifts the hat to lady as any
well-bred hand would do. In fact it
acts as a hand should act.
But the rlnged hand is different. 1t
hasn't so many motions, and these mo-
tions are more restricted. 1t never by
any chance goes into pocket or allows
itself to be hidden under newspaper.
1t sometimes raises the hat, but not
often. Its favorite position is shown in
one of the illustrations. To one who is
not accustomed to the man with the
finger-ring habit the pose of this hand
may seem exaggerated. 1t IS hard to
imagine that a man can put his pet
finger rings on view in such deliberate
fashion, but this particular young man
does so. Every morning at the same
hour he may be seen apparently uncon-
scious of observation, yet fully alive to
the fact that he has four odd rings on
one finger, and that it is not only his
duty but his pleasure to make that fact
plain to every one about him. Though
all of his kind do not wear so many
rings, there are great many who eX-
hibit their stock in a similar way.

er. A ''chronic" in this sense is a young
man who wears three or four
rings on one finger. They are
generally of the snake design
or something similar, and, if we believe
what we overhear when the wearer is
exploiting them to some friend, they are
talismans or something equally impor-
tant. If the Wearer can without danger
of disability assert that he has been
abroad. it will usually happen that
at least one of the rings was
present from the Rajah of Budgpaw
or some other remote principality
in India. If the friend is per-
fectly sure that the ring fiend has not
been abroad. and the ring tiend knows
this, the rajah's ring will figure as a
philOpena gift from some young society
lady. 1t very often happens that the
young man with the finger ring has no
friend to cOnfde in, or the man with
him may have previously gone through
the ordeal mentioned above. This
being the case. our young friend has to

no material at all-that is, no more than
would be actually required to cover the

Lastsyear, you know, the;skirts were
very full and contained just as much
STUFF as could be snugly gathered
upon the band. The waists, too, were
round and loose. blouSe-Shaped, rather
than tight-ftting, and Oftentimes an
enormous sash of the same material was
tied around the waist. Now it is all so
differentiated yet one buys almost the
same quantity of goods for dress pat
tern. Dearly beloved women, why are
these things thus? Can any one answer
to nicely and a certainty? Perhaps it
is because the large full sleeves which
every dress requires in order to bear
the stamp of fashion requires a great
deal of goods.
Three yards at least must go to the
sleeves. if they are full at the shoulder,
high pulled and tapering to fit the arm
and wrist. If the sleeves are full and
pulled all the way to the wrist, ending
there with a narrow band to hold The
great sleeve puff in place, it takes al
most twice as much goods as the
shoulder puff alone would require. An
then. if you have taken notice, you will
have seen a large, loose, half-fowing
sleeve, something like the sleeve which
is attached to a wrap, and having alSoa
tight fitting sleeve underneath; this
takes more material yet, and counts up
enormously when one goes to compute
the number of yards that are required
for gown.
Since cycling has become so much the
rage for women who find it more conven-
lent to ride bicycle than to indulge
in other forms of exercise, many efforts
have been made to secure a skirt that
should be comfortable and pretty, and
at the same time answer the purpose s
which are required for cycling suit. Ii
