The clerk had gone for his boxes, and
/ presently returned. observing as Re did so
/ that II the lady desired be would try the
I gloves on. The lady did desire. and bala C
I ing her elbow on the confer, the clerk pro-
/ ceeded to daintily rub the glove over her
/ upheld fingers. The glove was GER ainly a
/ perfect fit. being just of sufficient seize not
| O. wriDkle in the least, and yet did not dis
| tort the hand.
''Oh, what lovely fit,' exclaimed the
companion Of the young lady purchasing
| the gloves. why, dearest, you've a very
small hand, haven'tyou"
"WeIl, a So is rather large for it, as you
see, said the other. smiling serenely and
contemplating ner very attractive hand.
Five and three-quartersP ech ell the
clerk. Permit me- miss and be turned
down the wrist of the MAZE to the glove tue
girl had on. Then he smiled and said: 81
think / have made a mistake. These
are o."
There was silence for a moment, and it is
probable that one Of the young lad es was
mortified and angry while the other was
ex liant
''SIx and quarterl'' exclaimed the pur-
chaser of the gloves; ~ ell, l should think
they were large. l knew these weren't
right. Why. they are all wrinkled over the
back. Give me pair of the size | asked for
in the first place. And you needn't try
them on. / know they'll ft. Ny bands
are little swollen this NOR ing, anyway"
The clerk put pair f so q yes into a
paper and the two Dung women departed.
Another one Of 'em,h renal ked the
clerk TO a companion after they had gone
II new her hand was 81 when 1 saw it.
She'll split those others trying to get them
on and then ask Us 10 change them. How
soon will that new lot of false sizes be in?
There's no use of trying to get these real
ones OFF on women. hat girl has been
getting tue false so here lately, and we
can't sell her the same glove marked cor
rectly.n
1t is fact that sellers OF gloves and shoes
have been compelled to mark their goods
with false siz s, IN order to please certain
women VINO are vain about their hands and
feet, and that accounts for the astonish-
ment oftentimes felt toy girl no is inno-
cent of this when a friend having obviously
large hands and feet give conclusive proof
by showing the marks on the articles them
selves, that she wears both smaller gloves
and shoes.
This is the season Of all Others saws the
Pittsburg Dispatch, which calls for elegant
and refined hosiery, for from now until
May l look out for wet sidewalks aid
muddy streets, and for bald heads and
white mustaches at the club windows
Skirts must be raised, whether feet be small
and ankles shapely or not. Pm inclined to
think that Nine. de Stael had large ankles
and that they were the reason why Napoleon
disliked her. One of Napoleon's ideas was
that no thoroughly pretty woman would
ever plot against the government. H rown
intrl cues would naturally take up all her
time
Well, to get back TO the subject of hosiery.
In the morning there ST, uld be no display
of lively colurs. Let the stockings be in a
rather dark tone, but in perfect harmony
with The wrapper or house ess. Upon
dressing for the af ernoon. black silk is the
really hight ned loot covering, but in case
you are going TO indulge in any outdoor
sports, then make choc Of ribbed English
wool ana wear laced shoes with them
With house dresses. there is great lati-
tude allowable, but the plain stocking, with
gold OF silver clock, Is the favorite The
Nile green, with an embroidered serpent
colllug around toe limb is becoming too
common to be enjoyable. With evening
dress, no matter what the color, let tue
stocking be not only of flesh tone, but so fine
and cobwebty as to seem to melt away upon
the beautiful arch Of the instep. Applica-
lions OF lac, or Of butterfly OF flower deS
signs in gold, are permitted botl upon flesh
colored stockings aud upon black silk FL
nally look to tue fit; wrinkle is absolutely
fatal to the beauty OF the ankle, md lou 80
fold has put an end TO more young mems
dreams than cooling affection ever did.
A very pratty and easily fashioned little
wa st for summer dresses may be m ade after
the following design: The full shi. red yoke
and sleeves may be made of sheer white
lawn or cream white China silk The waist
Is gathered at the neck and again at tue
waist, where close belt holds it in pl CO.
The pointed bodice may lie of gingham
chambrey, China silk challie or any pretty
summer material, and is cut straight across
the top, just below the armholes. with straps
Of velvet ribbon extending over the shout
der. A very attractive gown may be made
of stem green sprigged challie, with velvet
straps over the shou der, a silk guimpe and
bodice of challie or green repped silk. An
equally pretty gingham may be made after
the same model.
Another simple waist which promises to
be summer favorite is called the Pc lnant,
which is made as exactly like mans as is
possible for woman's wear. Pockets on
Ell her side the front, and a box plat ex-
tends down the back. Thes' are really
skirts or tails. as man would say, over
which the skirt Is pinned. This gives de-
hghttul freedom to the arms, with no fear
of the waist and skirt separating, as is the
most depraved and embarrassing incliuatiye
when the waist is cut off below the belt.
This waist may be made of flannel, linen
or silk, and is equally pretty in either ma
terial. Rather more elaborate and dressv
are the silk waists with sairt yoke in the
back and plated front with a frili in the
hem. With these Is worn a broad scarf of
the same material, tied beneath the turned
down collar.
There is a hair-dressing shop in the CEN
ter OF the fashionable world on Fifth
avenue, where bellies go to have their bangs
cut, says Clara Belle in her New York letter
in Cincinnati Enquirer, and, although the
proprietor of the place is not 81 loquacious
as the records attempt to prove all tousorial
artists, he occasionally chats with old Gus
TONERS, and often has something interesting
to say. he was asked il many men nova
days wore wigsl
mot full wigs" he replied, "but the tou-
pet was never so popular as it is to-day. The
toupet, or scratch, as some people call 1t,
can be made, you know, very deceptive II

way the fashionable young men in New
York are getting bald nowadays, and they
are desperate over it. / advise quieter
life when they ask me for remedy, but
you can't keep those chaps from having a
high old time. Three or four years ago
very few of them would have hid
