The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-05-17

the rough garments and brought down an
assortment OF some that exactly suited the
nurse, who made several purchases aud
thanked the attendant afterward for her
trouble IN displaying the goods. A little
later the clerk might have been heard ask
ing companion behind the counter what
chatting meant. When told that 1t was an
irritation of the flesh she evinced surprise.
She had not been quite sure before whether
1t was a sickness, like the measles. or a dis
ccloration, such as is sometimes produced
by black stockings.
At first night at a swell Broadway
eheater in New York one of the ultra
fashionable first -nighters created quite as
much sensation as the play itself by appear
ing IN hat made of her hair-not woven
out Of combings, but actually built up out
or the hair growing on the head, of course.
L should say that the lady in question has
magnificent growth of hair, and is
naturally very proud of it. Very econom-
icai, you will say to yourself. Far from it,
l reply, for | took the trouble TO interview
the artist who did the work. HIS bill was
$50 and a carriage to and from his estab-
Ilshmept for himself and assistant. The
modus oDerandi is as follows: The hair, as
1t lies naturally, is fastened on the crown of
the head with band; then a slight wire
frame is fitted on that part of the crown in-
cluded by the band, and the hanging hair
is parted in the middle. One half is now
combed over the frame so as to cover it
completely and form the brim, and is fas-
tened into the band; the other half forms
the trimming, being separated again in two
parts, one in braids and coils on the outside
with such additions of flowers, feathers,
ribbons, torsades, jet ornaments, aigrettes,
etc., as may be desired, and the other inside
the brim forms roll next to the face. The
effect in the case referred to was charm
ingly unique, as the fair lady has a perfect
mop of golden brown hair, and the pink
roses and velvet ribbon and ornamental
pins made up couture that crowned her
head.
At swell dinner for women in New
York, says Clara Belle in the Cincinnati
Enquirer, the following question was de-
bated To what extent should a young
lady go in permitting the caresses of a
young man with view of leading him to a

tanned that the line should be drawn just
INSIDE the kiss upon the hand. The widows
took the position that it was girls duty to
attract the man whom she desired TO have
propose marriage to her, and that hence
kiss upon the hand, hair, forehead or cheek
was perfectly allowable, provided that the
lips were kept sacred: also, that the young

embrace, which however, should not ex-
tend to holding upon the lap-that coming
only after formal declaration has been
made. Appeal was made to the maidens
present to express an opinion-to me among
the rest
] spoke as follows: 1.-THE moment a young
girl makes up her mind that the intentions
of a woer are perfectly honorable she
should encourage him to propose marriage,
but such encouragement should be most
delicately and POLITICALLY given. She must
not make herself cheap; she must keep
even her hand from his lips at first, and
when at last she surrenders it to him, and
he in the flush of his triumph, pushes on
to higher victories, she should reprove
him sternly and yet gently, 50 that he
may understand that more will come
after a longer apprenticeship. She
must not demean herself to encourage
caresses by lovesick glances, or by leaning
against him, or lowering over HIM. She
must, on the contrary, school him to be
satisfied with a caressing tone of voice, a
playful, yet decided manner-the true
womanly nature, the claw beneath the
sIlken paw If he gets Disguised with what
he calls her prudery and takes French leave
let him go, for he is not worth having. He
is merely amusing himself. He is the pros
fessional lovemaker and does more harm
than men who deserve a harsher name!m
From men to fashions is a very natural
transition, it being merely step from cause
to effect. Sarah Bernhardt insists that
men prefer to see women decollete at the
back rather than at the front, and when
asked for her authority, replied very
naively: AT least they tell me So" with
great emphasis on the me"
A hat, says the New York Recorder, that
appeared on Broadway two or three times
this week in two or three different editions,
was in It's most interesting estate of yellow
chiffon drawn over large wires and abso-
lutely fiat, except for the frill of black lace
that rose straight above its crown and then
spread like q burst of water when it comes
from fountain, or of fire and smoke when
they rise from a volcano.
There is smart variation of the Toreador
shape that comes in black chip with a
pointed crown. 1t was trimmed, as worn
by an English-looking blonde yesterday,
with wheat ears and bows of emerald green
velvet, studded-is there anything this
spring with courage and common sense not
to be studded-with large jet balls.
The latest thing i'll a sailor shape in novel
and, perhaps. to some faces, becoming. 1t
is low crowned, and is seen most frequently
in mixed brown and white straw, trimmed
with brown velvet and juggling wheat ears.
Rustic grass straws suit the taste of many
women. They come in green that is just
the color of q rush basket and that goes
best with pink ribbons and flowers The
big plateau hats have brims that are left,
for the most part, entirely unlined. A big
bow of palest lime green ribbon, if the hat
is black, may take the place of crown, and
somewhere about the establishment may be
found a large rosette bow in yellow. "Es-
tablishmentn is a well meant tribute to the
hats size.
Face massage, says the New York Ti'ib-
une, as means of driving away wrinkles
aud improving the complexin Is exciting
general interest. The skin is made supple
by this process, and after some treatment
wrinkles are lessened, and if they are notof
too long standing, totally disappear. The
methods of the face masseuse are simple and
can easily be learned. English masseuses
make business of teaching the process to
ladies who desire to learn. The masseuse
begins her work by washing the face gently
in tepid water with a fine sponge well
soaped with a delicate white soap, sold
specially for this purpose. After this a
warmer lather is used, and a warmer,
till the water is as hot as it can be borne.
The face being now thoroughly cleaned
and heated, a soft emmolllent cream
which is especially soothing to the skin is
