The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-09-04

IN this casual fashion! Taking out
hairpin that universal woman's i'm
plemenE, l scratched little hole
| in one end of the bundle. Horror of hor-
rorsl IL was flesh! gave loud screech,
| which brought the two maids and my hus-
band, who had just driven up, all to the
scene; aud then distinguished myself by
going of into my first and only attack of
mysteries. After much difficulty DR.. s.
! ascertained the cause Of my fright; then
| laughing heartily, opened the suspicious
| looking bundle and held up before my NOR
| titled vision an unoommonly fine-hsh The
hole hsd made in the paper just happened
TO expose the smooth hesh-like portion be-
tween the gils and the eyes.
| The attractions of the summer girl, says
the New York Recorder, have again been
| ecipsed by the attractions of the summer
! widow. The latter conquers without effort,
and she thus becomes an interesting study.
The secret OF her popularity is simple
enough. She meets man on the plane OF
| comradeship In her society he feels at
ease. She is graduate in the school Of ex-
| perlence. and with a woman's instinct she
knows him better than he knows himself
| She caters to his whims, she excuses his
| weaknesses and foibles till they assume the
! appearance of virtues. She defers to his
| Judgment, hatters his vanity, puts him
on good terms with himself, In short, she
appreciates MIN. There is an absence. of
maldenly Independence, of girlish gush and
enervescence about her that rests him, and
suggestion of dependence that appeals TO
him. She is not afraid to prove to him
how indispensable he is to her comfort
She needs him to buy railroad tickets and
| check baggage and read time tables and
adjust her wraps and carry her parasol and
tie her slipper, And-well, he feels the same
ease in her society which he enjoys In the
company Of his mother and sister-the same
repose minus ths monotony.
There Is something about the sweet, half
mourning sadness OF pretty woman that
appeals to the principles of ohivalry in a
man. He longs TO shield her because he Is
strong and able, and she is contiding and
gentle-and when she ia shy-shades Of his
ancestors protect html-his heart 6utters,
he eyes the bait. and, ere he knows it, the
fish is landed, and then society looks prop
erly and piously shocked aud CALCULATES the
verdict: Caught by widow"
The original empire dress, says the New
York Herald, ia an affectation of great
simplicity and an attempt at Greek drapery
As few petticoats and undergarments as
possible were worm in order that the skirts
should cling closely, and 10 display the form
beneath in its purest outline was not
thought immodest. The skirt was very
short in front, displaying the top of the
laced sandal boot, and fell in limp train
behind.
The well known short waist, with the
| crossed ribbons under the bust and the verv
low cut neck and short sleeves, are part of
| the costume. Every lady in those days
carried long scarf, which was worn across
the shoulders
Another first empire style has the cling
ing stra ght skirt with a tunic hanging over
1t, the tunic sloping much longer to the
back The bonnet Of the time is TOO we'll

being made very pretty and becoming.
Those who are familiar with the lovely
portraits Of the Empress Josephine and
Mime. Recamier in the Louvre will remem-
Der the graceful lines of the clingiuR robes
and the exquisite fabrics which are de-
picted. but how will 1t be possible TO adopt
these styles to the practical use of our stir
ring timesG
In gloves there are meny novelties in
shade and shape. Among the new oolors
are Russian green" which 90 ues Ia five
delicate and beautiful shades under the gem

all decidedly OF a grayish cast rather than
OF olive or yellow green. Another fashion

oome in various shades a I'd match precisely
| the colors of dress goods, fashion much
affected by some, but rather monotonous,
and Is not suoh 6ne taste as to have the
gloves OF harmoniEing contrast
There is q new glove with a gauntlet
beaded in jet or steel, and the bracelet
glove with a band embroidered around the
wrist is new. Scented gloves arc quite a
fad with some ladies and come in Suede and
are scented by a secret process which Sc
| cures permanence for the perfume to the
degree that it is said tns gloves can be
burned and the ashes will retain the delicate
scent.
Jessie aud Bessie are kindred spirits and
| inseparsbles, says Clara Belle in the Gin
cInnati Enquirer. They seem to have
| everything in common, even to beaux
| Such a thing as Jealousy doesn't seem to en-
| ter their thoughts One is tall, dark
almost too thin; the other is short, light
and a bit too stout for grace. They go well
| together, although the boys speak irreve-
ren5ly Of them as ''Slice" and Hunk" But
| they have their revenge on the boys, as l
| happen to know, for | overheard their con-

| one evening, and made believe was going

was then fool enough to ask me If he might

"Of course you said no3n
| ''Of course did. What else could say?

Fred, you must either change your breath
! or your habits
"No doubt that settled him. But how do

40, Harry's good fellow, bus he holds

and after he had picked me up he said very
calmly: Bessie. you have mighty pretty

to forgive him
