waist. Here she is tied tightly and again
bulges out at the hips to be drawn in around
the feet. Thus, you see. she is in three
links.
The woman of a season ago looked like an
hour glass, for she wore great big hat. and
from the hat tapered down to almost moth
ing at the waist line; from there she spread
again until she was as big as a barrel at the
feet. The size Of the hat was often as large
as the circumference of the skirt around the
feet, and the waist YVES girr in until it was a
mere span. Now, instead of the hour-glass
girl we have the girl who is divided into
three parts, which makes her figure a little
suggestive Of the division of insects-head,
thorax and abdomen. In this case we might
call it head, body and legs.
They are coming to town-all the coun-
try sisters and cousins and aunts to do their
spring and summer shopping. And some
body must meet them at the station, and
during their sojourn in town, pilot them
around to places of interest Very exact
ing, these country personators are, and
much more difficult to please than one
would think when one considers the towns
and villages from which they came. A
long suffering and prominent member of
the Woman's Press Club was last week COM
planning bitterly of her efforts 70 entertain
country cousins and their u appreciation of
her endeavors to be agreeable and show
them the town.
She said she had taken them TO see the
new statue Of Greeley outside the Tribune
building, had visited the flower market in
Union Square park at z o'clock in the morn
ing, while the dew was on the roses, and
while the flower girls were selling them off
at the best possible bargain to the highest
bidders; had taken them to the Wolfe annex
OF the Metropolitan Museum Of Art; had
gone with them up TO Harlem on the ele-
waited train; and, after taking them to the
Casino, the New Garden theater, and heaven
knows what else. had wound up by grand
circuit of Central park.
During all of these expeditions the ladies,
il appreciative. had manifested neither sur
prise nor delight. taking everything as
calmly as they did the advent of flock of
chickens at home or the appearance of the
first crop Of spring weeds. Hoping to elicit
al expression of joy from them the literary
woman, upon the park expedition, showed
the obelisk and all the beauties of which
New York's breathing spot boasts, and then,
in the midst OF it all /, exclaimed: snow, do
you not think this is all beautiful
Calmly and coolly the ladies from the
country gazed around as if seeking to dis
cover something more picturesque than
their next door neighbours potato field. One
of them a little more appreciative than the
other. still gazing about, shifted little and
remarked: Eyes. but there is plenty of
room for Improvement yet"
And, now, that literary woman heart
lessly remarks that il ever those ladies come
to town again they can get guide bureau
to direct their footsteps or can charter a
messenger boy. As punishment and
pennace for possible misdeeds, the literary
woman threatens her dude brother with
the possibility Of her consigning the next
batch of visiting cousins to his chaperoning
care. CARRIE CARELESS.
