meet a woman who has dimpled shoulders,
and no matter how lovely her face you wish
her ever to turn her acS on You. IL this
same woman has up under her nair deep
ening OF the tones of the skin to ripe
brown that is full colored and vet creamy,
then is she, from the back view, if soft lit
tie natural tendriis come down and curl
themselves over it. altogether IRE sistible.
If smooth, clear-skinned shoulders are
among the chiefest of a woman's beauties,
it is hard fate that gives her outstanding
shoulder blades. Yet once she comedies the
point and confesses to herself that she is in
danger of having small, angul II and
featherless wings and that she would rather
be a woman than an angel there Is little or
nothing In the way OF tiattening that may
not be sccomplished with judlclous trying.
And If it be, as IL commonly is, the shape
rather than the meagerness of her back
which is at fault, then she can give herself
the shoulders OF perfect womannood,
with the aid of little intelligent
patience. in a very few weeks
time. Nothing is more likely than
that she is in the habit Of throwing her
shoulders tack to get an erect carriage, and
nothing could be poorer policy. She is
only giving them dropping look aud en-
couraging the blades to set up in life on a
basis truly independent and American. She
should rather cross her arms over her chest,
and then without lowering her shoulders or
in any way changing their position she
should drop her arms at the sides. If she
faithfully medicines herself with this simple
little prescription she will raise her shoulders
into good position, stop the pricking of
the wings and smooth her back to flatness
most maglcally.
The "hired" chaperon has become fixed
adjunct of New York society. It's fad, of
course-and New Workers are given to fads
but it's custom which promises to OUT
live the period OF novelty. There are many
swell schools for girls uptown, and the
pupils, for the most part, are drawn from
the cities of the west and south. The prin-
cipals keep the charges under close surveil-
lance according to the prospectus, but then
discipline must be enforced in a manner not
TO offend. The pupils must be consulted as
well as their papas. you know, in order to
make the school popular. The young ladies
plan all sorts of shopping expeditions,
theatrical parties and such, aud the princi-
pal, although with some hest alton neces>
sary to impress the young ladies with her
excellent Judgment, finally yields. But
they can't go uuaccompanied. o, mol The
chaperon is summoned, and given all sorts
of injunctions, some of which she heeds, the
Others she religiously forgets. To enforce
them would render her unpopular, and over
zealousness would be met with a request

are really in command of the situation.
Quite the latest organization, says the
New York Sun, of women is a society of
'ladies to look after bachelors linen when
it has come from the laundress." There is
no benefcence which appeals so irresistiby
to the tendernessof womanhood. or which
will have more enthusiastic workers OF a
certain kind, than this, devoted to the anne
Iteration of the condition Of the most for
tunRte creatures of the world-Uhe old
bachelors 1t is to be hoped that this is but
the nucleus of a greater organization that
shall take up other needed lines of work
with the same general object; that there
will be associations of sweet girls devoted
to the holding of old bachelors heads on
the morning after a club dinner and apply
ing the refreshing ice poultice; that there
will be selt-denying women going about to
straighten up old bachelors parlors and put
things away where the owners can never
find them. Perhaps there will be thought
full, unselfsh women who will fill all the
hooks in the bachelors closets with skirts,
and leave him to hang his things upon the
floor, like the enYiable benedict, because
there isn't any other place to hang them.
And, possibly, some humane mother will be
found who will allow the unfortunate lonely
bachelor to walk the corridor three or four
hours in the night with a baby with the
Group or wrestling with dentition. Truly,
this is a work worthy the efforts of all
gentle ladies.
But, after all said and done, there are
some things which money can't buy, says
Clara Belle in the Enquirer. Aud two of
them are clear conscience after a wrong
act, and clean tongue after a nights
carousing. At least, so the men tell me,
and they ought to know. But it seems that
money can do many wonderful things, now
adays. In proof of this the following:
The wife of one Of our well-to do merchants
has been waiting very patiently for her
husband to grow rich enough to send
her to Germany for treatment of
peculiar redness of the skin,
which most effectually marred her
beauty. Although blessed with figure
of great beauty, set off by fine eyes and
teeth, this unfortunate tendency of her face
to flush embittered her very existence. At
last her husband brought the joyful news
that the exchequer would permit trip to
Berlin, where she was to consult the
famous doctor who makes speciality of skin
diseases. The learned man no sooner set
eyes upon the fair American that he cried
out:
"Why, my dear madam, this is mere
poverty of the blood. All you need is a
more generous diet-half bottle of bur-
gundy at dinner, and some good, wholesome
beer at lunch"
The lady was horror-stricken for the hus-
band was great stickler for total abstin-
ence. and she hardly knew the taste of the
beverages referred to. However, she was
many miles away from her dear lord and
master and determined to make the trial,
come what might. Money was plenty and
she did not spare it, occasionally inviting
her medical guide to dine with her, in order
that he might see with his own eyes how
faithfully she was following the course of
diet prescribed for her. To her, to his great
satisfaction, the cure was complete, and the
lady's skin began to take on it's old time
clearness and whiteness: but horrible to re-
late, as fast as the general redness of her
skin disappeared the particular redness of
her nose increased.
''But doctor, look at my nose," she
cried.
"Oh, that's nothing, madam he replied.
"Your friends will understand that; the
other they couldn't"
Hot weather has particularly disastrous
effect on bangs, says the New York Sun,
when one has 70 resort TO papers or a curl
ing iron. so Miss Flipperty thou ght she was
very farseeing when she pinned on becom-
ing little fringe of hair. She was on her
way to Narragansett Pier. aud was to be
