Novelties in Notepaper.
Azure blue, rose-pink, mauve and pale
green are the favorite colors for the moment
in notepaper, says a Lonon correspondent.
A pretty paper in the first color is stamped
with an initial letter in silver, and has a
peculiar shaped envelope modelled on the
new American purse The Jockey" is a
paper with a cream ground and a bold
colors as red, yellow and blue. Dim floral
designs take very well Some paper in
pretty neutral shades is strewn with little
pink and yellow blossoms. The "SoleiP' is
novel as regards shape, the sheets being
about three times as long as broad. 1t is a
delicately tinted paper, stamped with the
figure of the sun in gold. The "Autrefois"
. is in soft shades of pink and blue, with gold
lines to write on, and an ornamental device
in the left corner
In menus the choice is even more varied.
They are made in all manner of attractive
shapes. The iris and the water lily are per-
haps the most popular designs. When
modelled in natural tints they are extremely
pretty. The newest things in card-shaped
menus have Dresden china decorations.
Others are ornamented with little Vatican
figures, hsrlequins, sea views, landscapes,
sporting scenes, and so forth, done in water
colors. The favorite menu for a sporting
dinner is a horseshoe. 1t is generally
white card, with border of crimped tissue
paper. The newest receptacles for ice are
made of straw decorated with knots of col
ored ribbon
The photographoscope is just out. It is
very ingeniously constructed, and is Just
about double the size of an ordinary cabinet
sized frame. If l describe it as panorama
in miniature you'will perhaps be able to see
in your minds eye what it really is. Almost
any number of photographs may be placed
in the frame. By simply turning knob at
the side the pictures appear one after the
other in endless succession, the one in view
falling back and making way for another at
every revolution of the handle. The frame
is made of carved or inlaid wood, and is
handsome enough to put on a drawing room
table. 1t was designed by the inventors to
supersede the album
Women to Be More Beautiful.
The love of the beauty of the female sex
by the opposite sex is proved not only BY
choice being more largely determined by
that than by any other element; it is proved
also by the sedulous care with which men of
civilized races guard their women against
the hardships which are preiudicial to
beauty, says DR.. John V. Shoemaker in
"Heredity, Health and Beauty" The men
of the higher races have, from the earliest
times, followed beauty in the other sex, and
that sex has complacently accented the
tribute to its charms, and why should it
not? Mems preference, therefore, having
always been for those individuals of the
opposite sex whose beauty was greatest, the
result has manifested itself not only in
wooing and wedding, but in the inheritance,
In ever increasingly greater degree, by
female offspring of those physical attributes
which made the mothers attractive.
The dissonance produced by the absence
Of beauty-producing conditions, when the
forces just described are in allowance, is ex-
hibited by the characteristics of strong
minded women, Sexual selections has gem
orally stood. them aside from relation to
posterity. 1t follows that, if the character
Of the higher race does not change, and the
physical conditions on earth do not change,
and it is impossible that they will change
for at least some millions of years, the
beauty of women will go on increasing for
long time to come.
Summing up all the agencies at work
among the higher races as fruitful of in
'reasing female beauty, we may well assume |
