HONEY EOR THE LADIES.

The fancy silver picture frames for photo
graphs are simply fascinating. OF course
this season the heart shaped ones are the
SWEETEST and you should have one for your
dearest friend and keep 1t on your dressing
table.
If fever the women Of this country start on
a crusade afainst the men their lines Will be
formed in Kansas. There every town has its
equal suffrage local society, and there are
oNera hundred women's clubs in the state
1t is periIous condition.
Many of the watches which are now sold
Tor women's use are exceedingly small and
have gold faces. 1t is quite difficult TO tell
time from them, but they go as n novelty
Women now wear the watch attached to the
corsage when not carrying it in a card case
or umbrella handle.
With some of the cloth costumes are worn
boas made of the cloth and lined with aheavy
shade of silk. The hat and muff are also
made to correspond, and although these are
not as becoming as those of fur or feathers,
they are becoming quite popular, giving an
air OF chic to the gown.
The ladies of England have Just had
brought to their notice new system of i'm
parting rosy tint to their checks. 1t is
called the "hypodermic bush,n and is pro-
duced by the insertion of a coloring fluid un-
der the skin by means of minute syringe
Tne blush thus given is said to last about
two hours.
The broth sets in Minton China in some of
the shops are very pretty and the choicest
device of serving broth to an invalid At
tached to small china tray are covered
broth cup salt cellar and a stand for pep
per box On the other side of the tray is u
small toast rack, so you can imagine what
compact little device the broth set is.
Among the younger women there is cv
IDENTITY Il desire to bauish mufTs and warm
the hands in the jacket pockets. This gives
a very peculiar effect A girl hurrying up
the avenue on a windy day, with her tight
hitting skirt blowing back, her arms akimbo
aud hands in her pockets, certainly has a
very mannish or boyish appearance. She
achieves success if this is her object.
1t is surprising how many women do
the shopping Tor the men Of their families
All OF the large dry goods shops have fur
mis- hing departments where are found the
best lines of goods. 1t is the exception to see
man at any of these counters, but they are
constantly thronged by women. Then the
regular furnis hing stores now DO large part
of their business with women, who can un-
doubleday buy to better advantage than men.
One of the most absorbing, interes ting and
useful collections which a woman can make
is that of coffee or tea cups. A friend has on
her tea table Il dozen cups from as many
countries, which she has collected during her
extensive travels. OF course, most of the
celebrated potteries are represented and each
cupis work of arts. Another collector has
purchased cup in various cities of her own
country, which she has visited and prizes
them not only because of their value and
beauty but as mementoes of numerous pleas
ure trips.
One of the most pleasing actresses off as
well as on the stage is Jane Stewart, the
original young school girl of The Senator
company. Seen on the street she inpresses
one as IA few years older than the character
she represented for so long q time Her eX
preston is very winning, but when her face
is in repose little sad. She dresses know
ingly and in good taste. AT a recent matinee
she wore gray cloth gown, made in the pre-
vailing mode, the sleeves being heavily
braided in black and the bodice trimmed to
correspond.
The latest fans are composed Of gauze and
flowers and some of them are very striking
One was covered by black brittle gum and
partly covered with full blown poppies of a
rich deep shade of red The other half had
the green leaves of the poppy and some buds
trailing gracefully over it. Another hand
some fan for matron had foundation of
white gauze, on which was appliQued black
point lace butterflies and birds. Young girls
still prefer to carry the simple fans of gauze
or feathers in color to match the gown.
Onels much ticKlcd at the readiness of the
public to be amused even in New York
where one has chance to become sated with
amuSements. A musical top is often the
center of an admiriug crowd grown people
and musical boxes mechanical toys and Ed
isOn talking dolls are sure of a good audien ce
whenever exhibited There seems TO be a
tendency among the present generation to
forget they are grownup whenever oppor-
tunity offers, and so get at least moments
relief from the cares which they are oblig ed
to carry.
Light blue, white and gold are a favorite
combination for tea gowns this season. A
dainty one sent home from a Broadway shop
this week, and which is to be worn du ring tue
holidays at country house a short distance
from town com bined these cOlors The skirt
of light blue crepe falls in full straight folds
over an under petticoat of white cashmere
embroidered about the foot in gold. Tho
