woman who makes her living in a womanly
way, she has even more contempt, because
she thinks she is wasting her opportunities.
THE SMALL BOY AS A CRITIC.
There is only one thing hope about the
business woman's dress, and that is that
those who have designed the diabolical get
up may wear it down Broadway and bring
delight to the soul Of the small boy. He is
the one person in the world whom the bust
ness woman cannot scorn. She couldn't put
him down to save her soul. He rises like a
rubber ball with a new piece Of slang and an
impairment speech that is as truthful as it
Is eplgrammatic. He IS the concentrated
extract OF sass. Kingdoms may rise and fall,
Out he gets there" just the same. BY his
rldlcule, ldiotic fashions have been downed
and by his appreciation and cheers, police
men have been brought TO defend the weak
occasionally, he erTs In his enthusiasm,
but not often; aud if he can only once get
on to the business wOrnsn's dress, its doom
Will be sealed. Personally, like the small
boy. he is at once earnest and original,
and ne has great respect for ability in any
way. You may not altogether approve Of
his method Of expressing it; indeed it may
embarrass you, but it is sincere; he is a con-
nolsseur about womans clothes and a
gourmet as to hokey-pokey ice cream.
To the number Of about fifty, he greeted

som, and, seeing that the lining Of my coat
was red. he raised his voice in this way:
DO yer catch on to er painting Their inside
OF er coat redg' They caught on with a
whoop, and the smallest of the tribe called
out: II say, yer a-nakin' the lady blush"
!t was an embarrassing experience, but an
interesting one, and it showed exactly to
what extent the small boy was capable of
using his eyes.
THE LATEST IN wOMAN'S Wells.
The new wells not only show stars and
crescents here and there upon them, but
spiders and flies. The most curious is a
yerltable spiders web net with one tolera-
bly, large and three small spiders meander-
ing over it. The effect is more unique than
beautiful. and rather too suggestive. If the
young woman who wears it rejoices in
bleached hair and rather loud get-up, and
gives you an invitation to pay her a visit
you will keep thinking of that old story
about the spider and the fly, and things
suggestive of such unpleasant incidents are
not desirable for belongings.
WOMEN WHO LIKE CREEPY THINGS.
The jet snake coiled around with his tail
standing up in the back and his head in
front Is conspicuous among the bonnets OF
the spring, but like the spider he is a little
too creepy and don't seem quite the proper
thing for woman to wear for her bonnet.
Roses and flowers Of all sorts, pretty plumes
and gay ribbons are appropriate to women,
but mankind rather shrinks from woman
given over to the worship of strange gods
in the way of serpents and spiders and hor-
rible looking beetles for which they really
do seem to have decided prediction.
SOME FUNNY THINGS IN THIS WORLD.
It's funny to like ugly things when there
are so many beautiful ones in the world, but
then there are so many funny things.
It's funny TO see an old woman with
bieached hair aud a sailor hat.
It's funny to see an old mau dressed like
dude.
It's funny to see a cat in long white
dress and with pink mob cap on its head.
It's funny to sea little dog in Hamlet
cloak and three-cQrnered hat.
It's funny to see man concentrate his
entire soul on the crease in his trousers.
It's funny to see how the average woman
deliberately removes her nose to make her
own face indignant
It's funny to see how a woman puts on
rouge and powder and thinks nobody
knows it.
It's funny to see how man believes that
he can deceive a woman.
It's a lot funnier, though, to see how q
woman does deceive man when it's done
for his own good.
It's funny weather we are having.
