DIDN'T CARE FOR THE HAT.
After He Had Had a Talk with the Thiers
Daughter.

Thore WAS n young mar on the con,
mittee of arrangements for the Somer-
vile celebration who came out a short
time ago wearing a new spring derby
of the most fashionable shade and
style, says the Boston Herald.
But now the young man sports hig
last winters hat, or, on hot DAYS, a
gaudy straw.
The bright spring derby has disap-
peared and when that" is mentioned hS
gives a sickly grin and says: Come
off"
1t happened a few evenings before
the 18th that the young man attended
a meeting Of his committee and before
entering the hall placed his new spring
hat on a table in the ante-room along
with a heterogeneous assortment OF
less stylish headwcar, among which N
looked strangely out of place.
He was one of the last TO leave the
hall, and when he looked for his hat it
had disappeared, aud in it's place was
n heavy black derby, at least two sizes
too large.
Il know who swiped it, he" growled
at was Mullen. the costumer. |
saw him go out with a hat just like
mine. He will have a chance to swap
back in the morning if ! have to go to
Chelsea for him"
With the strange hat resting on his
ears and q wrathful face partly visible
under its brim, he turned his steps
homeward.
Immediately after breakfast next

the bell.
"Good-morning, Jimmie" she said.
"No, papa is not at home. But won't
you come in-you look heated?"
"Well, Just for n moment" replied
James. He was n little warm, and
then perhaps Mr.. Mullen would return.

might be deferred for a time at least.
"Oh. Jimmie, such n joke on papa
she said, rs oon as they were seated.
"You know how abSent-minded he is?
Well, he went TO a meeting last night
and came home wearing some dudes

seen how funny it looked on him. 1t

the little gentleman who bought that
hat must have had his select

He offered il 10 Mrs. McCarty this
morning for her Jimmy and she threw
her head up and said:
"Bedad! | don't want the thing on

"Why, Jimmie, what Is your hurry ?
Aren't you going to wait for papaP"
she continued, as her papa's visitor
arose to depart.
But Jimmie had an immediate APP
pointment way downtown and Mr..
Mullen has not been asked to change
hats yet.

How u Rejected sutton for White Fawn's
Fire Water and Yankee Tricks.

The clerk of the courts for Becker
county, Minnesota. recently had the
most singular application in his long
experience. A tall, well-formed and
intelligent looking Indian entered his
Office. He had come, he said, at the
advice of the marshal at st. Paul. and
his mission was to secure n divorce for
his sister. lie thereupon told the fol-

surpassed: On the shores of Elk lake,

Instruction. for Young Ladies Who Con-
template Learning Ii.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
As we are sure to have a great deal
of amateur skirt dancing the coming
winter you may like to have a receipt
for such an outfit as is necessary 10
suggest beauties rather than disclose
them You take very thin crepe de
chine, allowing thirty yards fullness
at the bottom, and then you gore il to
nothing at the waist, accordion
plated. Of course, that needs not TO
be said. The bodice is what is known
as a Nautch-girl bodice, fitting the
figure like n glove, and may be
trimmed and braided TO suit your
taste. From the throat there should
hang several long streamers of
white ribbon. The crepe de
chine should be specked with
spangles to give it a weird, sparkling
effect when you catch up the skirt and
twirl and twist il to do the bat figure,
the angel figure, the fairy figure, the
~bacchante figure, and ali the rest of the
figures, which may be varied to suit
your particular style and skill.
But now ! come to the piece de re-
s~lstance, your tights Don't blush,
dear girl; you must wear them, and
they must be what is known as the
combination tights and be gray in
tone, which will work up best under
the glare of the light. White kid
shoes complete the outfit. But, ali! if
you only have q pair of dainty feet
and shapely limbs aud u good supply
of anhnritv unq "an- uHarJs. ~yN~ JaaS
you have a good man at the lime light
That is absolutely essential Indeed,
the frill dancer is at the mercy OF the
lime ligh: man. He may make or
break her. He may make her angel
like a ghost, and her bat look
like an angel in distress, and her
sprite look like a Dakota widow with
her emotions aroused. In fact, as some
one has said, the lime light man ought
to get nll the applause. This, however,
Is putting it a bit too strong, for a frill
dancer, after all, is like any other
dancer. She must have grace, abandon,
archness, strength, flexibility and au-
dacity.
Some ladies will have a cold chill
u over them at the thought of see
ing their daughters expose their limbs
in a frill dance at private theatricals
this winter. But these glimpses are
SO brief, so fugitive, so indistinct, SO
fiashlike, that, after the serpentine
dance has been concluded, you can't
make oath that you've seen anything.
