New York Women.

tinually discovering something that will
occupy their attention and are doing some
thing that will make people talk about
them. The latest fad which they have i:
the Inhalation of the exhilarating ozone and
how it is done is described by Fay Carleton
in the World:
There is something about the atmos
phere OF Mrs. Norihs drawing-room that Is
perfectly bracing, / assure yOu," said Tom
to me the other day in reply to my banter
about the frequency aud length of his visits
there.
Personally, / like Julie North, but I cant
for the life of me see what the men see IL
her TO like so well. OF course her being 2
possession of exquisite tact ana a fine figure
She doesn't make much show beside this
years debutanteS.
Beside them? Bless you, no! That is
what she never is. She never risks invid-
ious comparisons. IL is at home she finds
her vantage ground.
81 am forever doomed to ask questions,
but wont you tell me how you manage this
gamCr. dear?" | asked Julie the other day
while sitting in her boudOir after | had deli
cately repeated some of Toms compliments.
50 will show you II you Will come down
to the drawing-roOm," Julie answered prac-
ticaly, to my intense surprise; but first
Naunette viii bring me my gown fer the
drawing-rOom.
You know" she went on, as Nannette,
the def, threw about her robe of pale yell
low wool, with Cleopatra girdie three
times encirclhg the rounded waist and fall
ing with heavily fringed ends TO the feet in
front; You know that men like delicate
colors and simple gowns. They think them
less expensive. This cost almost lis weight
in silver just because 1t tits.
Aud it did ht superbly. 1t fitted and be-
came its wearer, AMI what is more, it
harmonized with the drawing-room. which
was all in varying tones Of brown and gold.
% Now, just imagine yourself Tom oil Ned,
as the case may be, and say all the pretty
things YOU can to me-"
OF course | tried to say them, but | never
thought till then how hard 1t must be for
men To say all the retty things they do to
one when ones duenna is not listening.
Julie had motioned me to a great chair
whose arms were as large and soft as pillows
and she herself reclined on a satin couch
with just nine cushions about her, of all
shapes aud sizes.
But it was not cushions nor gown that
puzzled me just then, but a certain indefin-
able feeling of exhilaration. felt myself
taking long full breaths and enjoying them,
something | have not been in the habit of
doing felt my cheeks flush and my eyes
light up, and noticed similar change in
Julie.
Is was very plain after that what a fasci-
nation she must have for man like Tom.
'.Have | guessed it? Is it hypnotisln?" 1
asked, breathiessly, feeling the same pleas
urable excitement one feels after brisk
walk on clear day.
"You are wrong. 1t is nothing of the
kind"
Then you have discovered another great
force in nature|'
NO; wrong again. l buy 1t by the gal
lon"
"Oh. do tell me what Is. Is it lymph2
or nerve food? or Chicago beef aud tur-
keyS" w
Il am in despair"
You have noticed these cuShiOnS?.
81 couldn't very well help it,"
"They are my secret"
"Poohl Fannie Myth has just as many
and as pretty ones, and they do not affect
people this way"
lyon silly thing. Let me show you.
This cushion. you will see." taking up a
dainty satin-covered thing with tasseed
corners, " is of inflated rubber with a fancy
cover. Now really the secret lies in what
il is inflated with. Can you guess now?"
i" By no means. What have the contents
of that pillow 10 do with my feeling fine as
slk?"
EVERYTHING. You see. it is filed with
ozone"
g oh. yes; that gas which Leavitt said in
the class one day was just like oxygen with
little more OK in iii
:" The same"
"Who would have thought it? How do
you manage 1t?
:" / buy one of those cylinders like dem
fists use for nitrous oxide, filled with good
ness knows how many gallons compressed
into one, and then fill the cushion by con-
meeting it with the flexible tube"
"And them"
And then, when Tom or Jack or Ned
in, / Inf m n IN
by degrees, and they think they are in Cali
fornia without knowing the reason why"
:" But doesn't the escaping gas make a
noise, and does it not have disagreeable
odor, or do they not notice you opening the
valves ??
''Dd you notice anything of the kind ?"
~ had only noticed sweet perfume like
Italian orriS and that you were playing
with the tasses on the cushion"
''The orris sachet is in the cover, and
gently loosened the valves while playing
with the tassels."
but once in a WHILE" the fair Julie con-
tinued, TON and Jack and Ned take it in
to their respective heads to think it worth
while to get down on their respective knees
and ask for the hand of the ehatelaine who
can make life so pleasant in her castle that
one would fain be in duress forever"
Ibid Torn say that?"
''When they are so far gone-so much af-
fected, mean-as that just shut of the
supply"
''But how do they fell next morning
after treatment?"
''Greatly invigorated. There is nothing
like 1t. Why, never had such color in my
life. and your eyes are spar king"
isn't 1t awfully EXPENSIVE"
after the first batch, not at all So"
II must buy me some.
81 will let you have q cushionful with
pleasure, but please do not say word about
this ridiculous fad of NINE which is really
a good thing put to base USE"
And | haven't said word about it to a
