Men to Shake Shirts..

Inc shirt has come to stay, says
the Boston Globe. A month ago it
was regarded as whim Of the sea.
son, now it is established in favor
and counted an Indispensable feature
OF a Well-dressed Woman's wardrobe.
Heretofore DR.. Mary Walker had sole
claims on the stiff shirt bosom.
Later, came Mrs Jeanette Thurber
in her tweed cut-away coat iauntily
.buttoned over waistcoat and soft
finished shirt, and from the date of
American opera to the last gasp of
the italian schools she remained the
one deVOtee Of the feminine shirt in
New York society.
Now all the tailor-made girls in
town are done up in stiff bosoms.
standing collars and long. cuffs, and
the old-established shirtmakers have
been called upon to make to measure
the neither garment SO long the un-
disputed property of men.
The result is a lady's shirt as snug
fitting as glove and as comfortable
as a fichu, which under the lighuest
tailormade bodice does not show a.
crease. By means of darts the usual
bagSiness at the sides is done away
with, and but for the drawstrings at
the waist might be appropriated by
the men.
The most recent developments, as
adapted for ladies' wear. is the wash
ing silk in twills of the neatest design.
They are made to fit like the linen
ones, have q band down the front
and a stiff collar, with another to
turn down over it.
Perhaps the comfort as we'll as the
auntiness of these shirts forms their
chief recommendation; they allow
perfect freedom of movement, thew
are cool, and always look neat and
fresh.
Not only are they seen on the prone
made, under yachting, tennis and
cycling jackets, but under well-ftting
riding coats they are decidedly smart.
From all appearances society has
adopted the shirt as fashionable
and feminine garment.

IT is said that any squint or cast
in the eye can be cured without the
expense of going to a physician or an
oculist. 1t is only necessary to get a
pair of spectales with plain glass in
and to. color the center OF one of the
lens black. The eye will naturally
make an effort to look straight ahead
all the time, and after few days the
effort will be irnperceptible. With a
child cure can be effected in a week,
and with a grown person month
will suffice to remedy the worst case,
Wearing smoked glasses is the best
possible safeguard for weak eyes when
in strong light, and these help to
getrid OF a "cast" by Strengthening
the eyes and believing them from I'M

Ballooning as a Sport.

Ballooning should be encouraged
as arecreation. AS there is little bal
looming donein this country very few
know anything OF this charming ex-
perience, and nearly all have an ex-
aggerated idea of it's danger. In
Europe, and especially in Paris, free
balloon ascents are quite often made,
and as a natural results the French
men make good balloons. Balloon
ing mot more expensive than yacht
ing, and to my mind it is much more
interesting. Agood silk balloon with
a capacity for two people-say one
holding $4,000 cubic feet of gas
costs in France $500 or 5000. Here
it would cost rather more. The gas
is cheaper there also. but if one has
good balloon and does his own work
the whole expense..of ballooning here
ought not to average over 500 for
each ascent. With a little previous
study and the practical experience of
q few trips one can manage his own
balloon. Under ordinary circum-
stances two persons make the best
number for an ascent. A balloon
club, having a feet of well construct
ed balloons, could have excursions
and races on the same plan as that
Of yachting and canoeing. It is an
art or recreation that has been neg
lected. At all events it has been left
mostly to professionals, who indulge
in it's most risky features and given
it the name Of being a very danger
Gus sport, which it need not have

Good Words for Girls.

Your mother is your best friend
Have nothing to do with girls who snub
their parents.
Tell the pleasantest things you know
when at meals.
Do not expect your brother to be as dainty
as girl.
Exercise and never try to look as if you
We're in delicate health
Introduce every new acquaintance to your
mother as soon as possible.
Don't think it necessary to get married.
There is plenty of room for old maids, and
they are often happier than wives.
Enjoy the pleasures provided for you by
your parents to the fullest extent. They
will like that as a reward better than any
other.
Most fathers are inclined to over indulge
their daughters. Make it impossible for
your father to spoil you by fairly returning
his devotion and affection.
Never think you can afford to be dowdy
at home. Cleanliness, hair well dressed
and a smile will make a calico look like
silks and satins to father or brother.
Do not quarrel with your brother; do
not preach at him, and do not coddle him.
Make him your friend and do not expect
him TO be your servant, nor let him expect
you to be philadelphia Record.
