The pretty girl, says Clara Belle in the
PeDublic, has the best of it all round.
There is a poor creature with crooked nose
and gooseberry eyes starving to death in a
Saratoga hotel because the girl who sits op-
posite her at table is god less Of loneliness.
The waiter is the beauty's slave, and when
he is not running to get her the best that's
in the kitchen he is standing staring In a
dazed and preoccupied way into her
splendid face. The others at the table are
trightfully neglected, and the girl with the
gooseberry eyes suffers most. because her
appetite is exceptionally large. And, what
is more. the poor thing gives larger tips to
the waiter than any one else at the table.
The other morning, while she was alone at
breakfast, she said to the waiter:
II notice, John, that if the young lady
opposite is not at the table you serve me
very we'll, but when she arrives can't get
YOU to do thing for me.p
"Yesn," responded John.
"WeH, why is itg' pursued the unfortu-
nate girl. Don't tip you as literally as
she doesp
''Oh, yes'm,n was the reply. "She never
tips me at all"
'"Well, then, why don't you wait on me
better. instead of giving her all your at
tenJion"
at wouldn't be very polite if answered,

Ill tell you how you can get all you want
to eat. You'll only have to agree to one
thing"
whats thata" asked the girl.
ITO eat the same things that she does
Then when she orders her dinner I'll lust
double for you, and if she asks for an extra
plate of ice cream I'll bring in two extra
plates. What do you think Of the planp
The girl with gooseberry eyes was proud
and sensitive, and this proposition of the
mental touched her to the quick. But there
was nothing proud about her appetite, and
therefore she smothsred her anger at the
mans words and agreed to be sort of I'M
derstudy at dinner for the girl across the
table. The plan will go into operation
this week, and the homely girl ex-
poets to fare very we'll. The fact that
the beauty never in the world orders
sliced onions, while she is passionately
fond of them, does not worry her, for
she does not propose to depend on the waiter
to bring them to her. She intends taking
them to the table in small bag and prepar-
ing them for herself. 1t is not unlikely that
before long the whole six people at the table
will be compelled to adopt the method of
the homely girl and allow the waiter to
serve them with just what the goddess
orders. At present they are struggling TO
get their meals on an independent basis, and
are suffering intensely in the process.
A private letter in the New York Tribune
from an American woman in Paris states
that in some towns In Germany and
France the wearing of the trained skirt in
the street has been prohibited. The town
authorities are backed by the health board,
the latter declaring that the constant up
stirring OF dirt and dust causes microbes to
float in the air and thus results in disease.
The dresses made in Paris just touch the
ground. The styles get to New York SO
early now that there is little new to de-
scribe. Y oke waists are much worn here,
and the sleeves are still high. A wool dress
frequently has the yoke and sleeves OF silk.
The present mode of skirt allows an old |
fashion to be revived, j. g., the silk founda-
non SKIRT Is made separate from the outside
drapery, which, by the way, is not drapery
at ALL as 1t hangs perfectly straight all the
way around, with pleats at the back. In
reality the silk foundation is merely a petit
coat with two or three plnked hounces at
the bottom. II one has several black dresses
and is inclined to economy one foundation
can serve for all. The foundation skirts
match the drapery in color Of course, and it |
is the custom sin the street to pick up the
dTApery at the back aud let the foundation
skirt hang. The newest bonnets and hats
now have tiny bit Of q crown to them,
