with the girl who looks swagger, and he
selects such a one with small regard to her
other attractions. Never before has figure
and dress been so regarded by men as it is
this season. It almost does not count that
q girl has a pretty face or no. She must
have the approved figure and dress it 10 the
approved style. OF course this is all hard
! on the pretty, plump creatures who line the
| walls. The fad will not last. Pretty. plump
| morsels OF femininity are too really aud
| genuinely attractive to remain out Of
fashion long.
Tennis, where the bouncing girl was at
best, is out of style. Bouncing ia out of
style. The tall girl has brought back GRO

long mallet always seems longer than she
herself Is, and a short mallet makes her
puff. After all, the plump girl is the INCEST
girl to squeeze.

powder as well. The lid conceals a little

The powder idea is a good one, for a woman
does look such fright with shining nose,

| II had curious experience the other
evening while passing through New York"
said western lady to some friends on the
beach at Newport, according to the New
| York Tribune. "We had taken rooms at
the Blk and unfortunately reached New
| York just in time for an absolutely torrid
hot wave As had pressing need for a
few days shopping before coming here for
the summer, | kept my husband and brother
in town for forty-eight hours to their great
discomfort, and they spent their evenings
by the windows of our sitting room in the
lightest of attire, drinking ioed drinks and
| trying vainly to keep cool. The night
before we left town we retired rather late
after the men had been solaoing themselves
| in their usual fashion. IL was
SO hot that it was some time be-
fore l could sleep, and just as l was
doing off l remembered that had left my
rings on the dressing table near the sitting
room door, the windows Of which were
wide open on a little iron balcony. "A good
chance for robbers l thought drowisly,
but was too lazy to get up to put them in
safer place. Late in the night was aroused
by the report of pistol, or what sounded
like one, and my first impression was that
was shot, Tor l was literally bathed, head
and shoulders, in somethlug that felt sure
for the moment was blood. Henry |

he wasn't worthy of a tender death-bed
scene and that felt all right again. BY

guffaw Of laughter and pointed to the par

in my room. "Well, what is itl / don't

for my bed as if it had been aimed at me.
Henry had cut the wires combining the cork
of one of the bottles and had then concluded
not to open it. and | suppose the heat may

of the explosion carried both cork and the
soda water straight across the room, hitting
me on the shoulder. OF course, you may

have made out Of it"
The wife of a naval officer just back from
Honolulu, says the New York Times, tells
of the pretty fete the queen gave on the
occasion Of her recent birthday. II was a
children's reception. in which the elders
took little part and was participated In by
the foreign children OF the port. There are
about $50 English and American residents,
and the children of these families, with
those of navy people temporarily in Hon.
