stumbled into Broadway car, says the
New York Press, and sat down with a
bump and grosn. Her face, except for its
preponderance Of flesh, was comely, and one
could see that her blue eyes, is relieved Of
the puffinees surrounding them, would be
really fine.
Dear, dear my heart does beat so when
ever l hurryn the stout woman sputtered
to her friend. "pd rather be dead than like
this. Seven years ago when married I
only weighed 1O2"
After marriage many women grow sloth-
full and form habit Of nibbling fattening
foods between meals. Longing, corsetless,
in a loose wrapper. bon bons, late suppers
and late rising, besides generous patronage
or street cars, will cushion with flesh the
most slender woman. unless some physical
tdiosyncrasy rises as an obstinate barrier.
The toque is its name.
1t is the bonnet that Is coming 90 stay,
says Paris letter in the New Y ork World.
To use the jargon OF all social levels the
capoLe, or old-fashioned bonnet, is nowhere
for a SOU"
This autumn the toque will appear as
complete framework OF jetted wire under

velvet and with distracting little Prince

a butterfly of lace or tinsel. AL
ways the butterfly. The Alsatian bow here
and there is wrapped and caressed into a
shape Stimulating a toque, but to be correct
one must have butterfly Of real black or
white lace. The limitations are many and
the spun metal insects are seen by thousands.
or course there are others-lnany of them
too ridiculous to describe, for it is fallacy

When l see a horror in shop and ask,
For what inmate of what particular in-
sane asylum is this bonnet intended,
msdemoiselleg mademoiselle will shrug and
say:
20. yes, it's horror, of ooursel But
what would you have! IL Is for the English
or some 'Peau-rouge,'" describing some
wealthy DAISY Miller.n
A chaperon has been defined as a con-
trivance TO make wrong-doinR respectable,
says Clara Belle in the Times Democrat.
This is bit severe, for the flirting INDUCED
IN by the young girl OF to-day is hardly
wrong-doing. 1t is quite harmless if it be-
gins and ends in the domain of Irritation,
for filtration is merely masquerade with
out masks. The girl Of to-day has 80 much
aplomb that she listens to declaration Of
love without blush.
What did you do" asked a young girl OF
her married chum, when Jack first told
you of his love for you and asked you to
become his wifel Didn't you feel thrill of
Joy run through your bodyP'
NO" replied the young wife. but did
feel a corset steel sticking into me where
Jacks big strong hand was pressing on my
waist"
The chaperon of to-day is, Of course, a
lineal descendant Of the Spanish duenna,
with this difference: The duenna, like
Juliet's nurse, kept string tied to her
charge and pulled her back now and then !;
whereas the chaperon Of to-day is of the
same social standing of her charge and is
strictly for Appearances sake. She has
been shorn OF her authority completely.
She IS like the two buttons on the back of
mans coat, for ornament only. 1 heard a
judicious and watchful matron say of
group Of young folks: "If they hadn't the
eron / should say that those girls were mis-
behaving themselves"
At ore of the small dances called Satur-
day night hops | was much amused to hear
q very bright girl who had been flirting
desperately all the evening say to her chap
eron: Aunt Bessie unless you can keep
awake / shall be obliged to ask Harry to go
sit somewhere else. People have been
watching US for half au hour. It's simply
ridiculous for you Go ait there and sleep"
Some chaperons demand a sort OF blood
money from the young gallants in the shape
of attentions to them personally, and are
not even aVerse to a fugitive caress, let
alone honeyed compliment. In one
instance l knew of charming married
woman with rather frivolous daughter,
who, at an illuminated garden fete, after
the daughter had enjoyed sitting beside her
gallant for over half an hour with his arm
eneirclIng her waist, felt moved to whisper:
10, Harry isn't this delighttull Mamma
hasn't disturbed US for over half an hour.

'Sh! darling" murmured the practical

The brunette thought to herself, 81 have

l look like an old picture. l am well
formed, am always we'll dressed. The
blonde hasn't correct feature in her face;
her teeth are pretty, but she shows them
every time she smiles. which is often she
dresses well, but she is grieving already
over the fact that because she is nearing 80
her hair is beginning to darken. Yet when
we two go out together. there is one man
who pays attention to me and ten to her;
women smile and bow to me, but they rush
to her with delight and overwhelm her
with invitations. Now, will you kindly ex-

She summoned up sufficient courage to
say to the blonde: "What is the reason
you are so attractive to peoplep'
And the blonde answered: First, because
