it is apt to look wrinkled through the
coarse, uneven meSheS. As brown is
the popular color, it gives the skin an
appearance of parchment. English
women wear wells on all occasions. The
woman without one appears bold. The
Oriental woman cheriSheS a similar
sentiment. BY this line of argument it
has, therefore, become the fashion to
wear wells at night. There is a reason
for everything-even for the strange
seeming mandates of Dame Fashion.
Few women enjoy wearing veil.
TwO-thirdS of them are martyrs to the
cause. While the filmy web prevents
foreign substance from entering the
eye, and doubtless preserves the COM
pleXiOn from the effects of the weather,
at the same time the vision Is impaired
through close contact and obstruction.
Occulists testify to this fact. The long
mourning veil of crepe is less worn as
time goes on, and is rarely ever seen
over the face. In its place is the lighter
and more comfortable nuns yelling veI
and for the face black net with a crepe
border.
Novelty wells have never been in
greater demand than at present. The
shops are full Of them, and they NAV be
had all the way from cents to a dig
nifed figure. One has a spider web
woven all over it. The design is strik-
ing against the background or fair
round cheek. Another and very pOpu-
lar design is plaid produced by large,
open meshes between the heavy
threads.
TO know toilets in wells is like famiI-
iarity with the thousand little social
amenities women delight in, and which
no one save woman could learn, and
learning, not despair.

all right you may be sure, and when
they reached their destination the de-
lighted buyer paid for them without a
murmur."
After this the conversation became
more general, while decidedly more
mixed; but it was edifying and interest
ing to degree that ought to be worth
millions to a lOng-Suffering public. 1t
was soon disclosed that the man was
there who bought Bartlett pears for
thirty cents pair; gave them high
toned name ana then turned them over
to the buyer at So a pair; the man was
also in the group who bought currant
bushes at two cents a piece and sold
them for 81 a pair. The man at his ell
bow had also done his part toward gull
ling the public His specially was the
Moorish plum. OF course he didn't
sell it, bat then the wild goose
plum answered very well, you know.
The man who carried specimens of the
English goOseberry in bottles was also
on deck. These specimens, magnified
to the size of duck eggs, invariably
caught the eye of the inexperienced
buyer, who eagerly paid as cents apiece
for bushes that cost the original pur-
chaser about 255 cents.
The registering party took the road
when the wind and the rain died down,
and the quiet gentlemen over in the cor
ner, who fully intended to buy a large
bill from the man who had dealt in crab
apple trees, went up to the rail, and a
curious smile crept athwart his face as
he smiled at the glass he held in his
hand,
