powerful adjunct to the empire OF mind,
but beauty without wit, cleyerness ana
magnetism no longer rules.
The woman who fascinates-what is
she? A study. Above all must she
pique curiosity, rouse mans interest,
puzzle and allure his thought. A woman
who can reveal just enough OF her real
self to make a man long to know her
better can fascinate. Allow yourself to
be read and understood at once and you
will never faScinate. Man is by nature
diScOverer.
An inch of gold braid on the bottom
of white evening dress is exceedingly

Fourteen dollars for the simplest gold
key ring! And all the girls have them,
with some such quotation as TINS IN
scribed: "a mans tongue is the Key
to his heart" or "In changing keys
there is safety" "The key of fate is In
our hands," Turn the key upon my
love-" "a key confines, key releases"
"A golden key unlockS every door save
that of happiness" Strung on THESE
pretty gold bands are the bracelet key,
the key to the forever-and-ever box ana
the key to milady's satchel. trunk, CLUB
locker and front door.
Everything decorative in the Orlenta
line has dropped in price, says inc
Philadelphia UpholSterer. All OF US
have got some little bit of japanese em-
broidery that Uncle Joe sent US or was
handed down by somebody's grand
father, and which for years we nave
priced as curio to be some day worked
into a screen or something of that KIND.
we regret, however, to see these same
things shown by importers at prices
that kill all romance. An embroidered
panel which eight years ago cost a
Broadway dealer $45 at wholesale IS
to-day selling for $3.50. Even Japanese
dolls tnat ten years ago were 81 apiece
can be bought now for 10 cents. Bamboo
portiereS, which only short time ago
retailed at SIS, are now sShoWn at 80.
The other day we saw case OF turkish
embroideries opened, and some oil the
most beautiful doylies, tides and lamp
or bric-a-brac mats were thrown out,
in sizes eight and nine inches square,
at 81. so a dozen-15 cents aplece-goods
which few years ago would nave
brought $3.50 OF 81 each.
A small turquoise blue silk Grape
handkerchief, with an embroidered Dor
der of daisies, is made with f0unda-

Every now and then we hear of a man
who has died from arsenlcal poisoning,
brought about by inhaling the green
venom of the wall paper, says the Phila-
delphia Upholsterer. All this is sheer
idiocy, Every dyer of any consequence
in this country who is at work on up
holstery goods denies emphatically that
they use arsenic, or have used 1t for
years past. Ever since the Introduction
of aniline dyes arsenic has been re-
garded as too expensive. There are
plenty of cheaper greens, and the most
beautiful shades are now made from
coal tar colors or anllines. A man any
way up in the business would pooh
pooh this arsenic idea. for the competl-
ton owadays does not let dyers in
dulge in this luxury.
The most aristocratic perfume in use

The Boston woman has her clearly
defined ideas and knows perfectly well
what she is. about, says the Budget.
She is ''up' in science, and a typical
illustration of her attitude toward life
is shown in this authentic anecdote. A
lady came to Back bay hotel to look
at rooms. She was duly shown, and
finally made her choice, and while
lingering i'll the apartment asked the
official waiting on her if he would give
her piece OF the carpet. He acceded
to this novel request. She then asked
for piece of the wall paper. "WlH
you tell me, madam he asked, ''why
you wish these?' Certainly" she re-
piled, 81 intend taking them to an eX-
pert and have them examined tO-See If
there are any microbes in them" This
is truly BoStonese.
