The races this year have made one
fact painfully apparent, and that is that
st. Paul women are addicted to betting
to surprising degree. Time was
when a woman felt herself delightfully."-
wicked if she wagered boX of bon
bons or pair of gloves, but in these
days the fin de steele woman thinks
nothing of plunging-actually plunging.
She goes in and bets just like man,
and she doesn't seem to feel at all
wicked about it, either. There was one
pretty girl out at Hamline Tuesday,
who picked a winner in nearly every
race. She was very young. She
could not have been more than
seventeen. She wore wide
brimmed sailor hat ana blue
serge skirt with a dainty white shirt
and blue suspenders. She sat right in
front of the newspaper mems box, and
now and then she turned around for
information. But she kept on betting,
and she won, and her pretty hands
were full of big shining silver dollars
before she went away. She was sweet
little thing, but one couldn't help but
wish she wouldn't bet. Men have two
sets of rules for wOmen-one set for the
women who belong 10 them. and another
set for the women who don't. l dare
say the men about that pretty child
made her feel that she was being very
dashlng and fascinating, but I'm sure
not one of them would have cared to see
his sister in her place.
The races have brought another fact
to light, and that is that an appalling
number or women in st. Paul don't
know how to dress their feet. An opera
slipper, even if it have strap across
the instep, is dlstinctively house shoe.
and ought never to be worn at such
place as the Hamline track. And the
white shoe-if l only had the fiend who
invented it! L suppose women will
never learn that there's nothing on
earth so unbecoming to the foot as
white. White shoes are not pretty, and
they are in good taste only with white
or very light gowns. They are mon
StrOSitieS with dark hose, and when. as
often happens, they are not at all clean,
1t Is mystery how any dainty-minded
woman will wear them. Dirty white
gloves are bad enough, but soiled white
shoes are worse. Indeed, ! am always
reminded of dear old darkey auntie
who used to say: Honey, if your
nSht duds is dirty, wear dark ones.
Dirty clothes IS poor white trashy"
~>'iA 1hAiih ehSi tiO.
A Young woman who has a beauti-
fully rounded throat, with lovely neck
and arms to match, attributes her
beauty in that direction entirely to the
following simple course of treatment:
She says: 10 begin with. you must
be prepared for a somewhat disagree
able odor and the ruination of your
nightrobe, therefore put aside the old
est gowns and go to work by yourself,
and you will work wonders in three
weeks.
1.-The process is merely amounting with
cod-liver oil every night. 1t will take
you good half hour, but YOU will be re-
paid by the identifying effect it will
have IN remarkably short time. Per-
severance must be your watchword,
however, until the form commences to
round out; then the treatment need not
be so frequent in warm weather, and
not more than three times week in
cold. 1t is simple and harmless, and
no physician will discourage what he
knows to be so genuinely beneficial"
The Frances Willard w. c. T. q. is
contemplating moonlight excursion to
Mlnnehaha soon. 1t is intended that
the excursion will leave st. Paul at )
O'Clock, and return after the moon
comes up. Apropos, Minnehaha has not
been so pretty for great many years
as it is now. Shadow Falls, "Minne-
sheena," are unusually pretty. too, and.
Indeed, OH days when it doesn't rain,
the country looks prettier than for many
season.
The Peoples church will give lawn
social Thursday evening at the house of
+. >. Hodgson. SIS Dayton avenue. Re-
freshments will be served from till 10
o'clock.
