Il ready do not believe that any one OF

1t Is surprising how quickly and naturally
a reprehensible practice will gain tolerance
IN society when woman of recognized in
nuence takes 1t up. About two years ago a
new ork girl whose reputation as beauty
mas taken on almost professional prOpor~
lions, began using rouge on her delicate
cheeks. 1t was an entirely new aud start
ling departure in this section of the country
and the girls friends declared it very fright
ful, and indeed her reputation suffered CON
siderably in consequence. She, however,
continued in the use OF the pink powder,
ana assured every one that she was
only emulating the very best women IN
Englani, including the gracious and
handsome Princess of Wales. Can't tell 'em
apart. This assertion was very correct, and
the moment the truth of it was realized
several other girls bought boxes of rouge
ana Haunted forth decorated with the fac
tltious brilliance. Not SO very much time
has vanished since then, and now the use of
rouge among the Newport crowd is some
thlng occ1slonlng com meat. A very well
born young fellow CHANGED to be cross
ing Sixth avenue the other day with a girl
that is member of fashionable set. He
was espied by riend, who did not happen

Il say. old man. aren't you getting
little careless tripping about town in the
afternoon with the class of girl saw you

the other.
"I mean that it isn't like you to travel
with such a blonde chorus girl as the one
you were with on Tuesday"

Among the pretty things that are handy
and convenient, yet inexpensive and easily
made, says the Housewife, are small open
jewel boxes for the toilet stand or the
bureau drawer, to hold, as the side letter
lcg indicates, rings aud things" Three
straps Of stiff cardboard about two inches
wide aud an Is of yard long are covered
first with a thin layer of cotton wadding
and then with silk, white, light blue, pink
or yellow. The strips are tightly Joined by
overcastlng at the end to ma le a triangle
A three cornered bottom to fit is covered in
the same way and caught tightly in by
overcastlng Sprinkle sachet powder peau
dEspagne or heliotrope in the wadding be
fore putting on the SIX. Put a bald OF
satin ribbon around the little box, draw it
tightly around the points and secure with a
cross stitch of silk. Finish at the joint with
small bow. These little useful affairs take
different shapes, at the pl asure of the
maker, deep and narrow or long and shall
low; the pretty coloring and look of bright
ness gives the effect.
A fan wall pocket is another new idea.
Take an ordinary Scent palmetto fan and
cut it around the edge in serratsd points or
deep saw teeth. Draw a thread of worsted
and tinsel cord, green and gold, OF blue and
silver, or any combination one may like
from the foot of the handle along the VEIN
ing to each point, letting it come up also on
the. back. Make a second and shorter effect
of crossword with the tinsel from the
handle in deep point to the center of the
fan. Wrap the haudle about closely with
shaped pocket of cardboard to fit around
the front of the fan following, its shape,
only smaller SO as to leave the points as a
radiating border and also to show the tinsel
filling. Cover this cardboard with pretty
brocade or flowery silk. This makes an ex-
ceedingly bright bit of decoration against
the wall or side of the bureau, and has its
own use in taking care of letters or floating
odds and ends.
Two mothers, says the New York Times,
each with young baby and no nurse. were
discussing how they managed it. II should
be worn OUT said one, Pm sure, except
for my rests. | make it point as soon as
my baby is sound asleep for his morning
nap to drop everything and lie down my
self" "O,n said the othar, while my baby
takes his day nap is the only chance | have
to gather up the loose ends about the house,
In these two phases Of management lies q
wide and deep philosophy. Ten years from
now it will be safe TO predict that that sec
ond mother will have lines in her face and
wrinkles on her brow that have no business
to be there, and, equally, that mother No. l
will still be fresh and blooming.
Women are beginning to understand that
it is the continuous, unrelieved strain that
tells; it is doubtful if many of them, par
ticularly the busy workers, fully appre-
ciate that it lies within their own reach to
modify this condition. II never stand
when can sit, aud | never sit when | can
lie down" says a woman who has discov-
cred the value of brief reSpites. and her SIS
ters if they try, may similarly find innum-
erabla opportunities, now overlooked, to
ease the strain of tn ir daily occupations if
eyer so briefly. Most women stand before
their dressing bureaus to 10 the Harlan
unnecessary waste of strength. Even If the
daily couture Is very simple one-taking
brief time to acco nplish those few mo.
ments will amount in the end to goodly
sum of rest.
"How much does girl in society require
| to dress uponw A gentleman with a large
| income, but with no ends Of calls upon it,
would like this question answered on a lib
eral but by no means extravagaut scale,
says the New York Tribune. he naturally
wishes his daughter to be well and credits-
bly, dressed, and he also naturally deprecates
extravaganza aId want of management.
We have asked opinions from good many
persons VINO are supposed to know, and we
find that 5000 ought to turn OUT girl
reasonably well. OF course, this would not
go far if she buys $50 hats and 300 gowns,
etc.; but with careful handling it may be
adequate. OF course, any number of girls
spend four times that amount, and even
more. MY daughter will have to marry
rich man. said a wealthy woman the other
day. She has 1000 year of her own,
and she spends every dollar OF it on her
self "a sad commentary, by the way. on
the selfshness and luxurious habits that the
world teaches.
