arts and the McGregors were never more
proud than are these gay Iassss.
A young woman in shcD who
presides over the stocking departments,
told me contdentialiy that these queer eff
fects were chosen that the ankle might look
more slender and the upper part-you know
what L nean-a larger. She had been
studying human nature, and she saw
that 1t was the women who she was sure
weren't good in shape as to lower limbs who
lnVarlaoly chose the queer stockings, and
taat the ones VINO were all right stuck to
the plain colors AID the dark ones She also
told rue, quite contidentiallv, that they did
90 sslonally put little filling in some silk
stocking intended for evening wear; but
that the average American woman was
pretty well shaped about the-well, you
knoW-and did not REQUIRE it.
THE USEFUL sAFETY-PIN.
She said that there we're women who
would no more have wrinkle in their
stockings than they would on their faces;
ana l remember what my grandmother
USED 70 say, that is, the woman who had
wrinkles IN her stockings had wrinkles in
her temper. But to keep stockings abso-
lutely smooth is a study. The EVIL TO him
who evil thinks will break and no positive
reliance can be placed on the suspender,
consequently the particular woman wears
both, and IN addition to fastening the
eaten, catches the suspender with a safety
pin. What in the world did we do before
the safety pins were invented! They will
hold up dress so that it won't slide below
the belt; arranged carefully underneath
they will catch a drapery so that one
would think it was done with a
needle and thread. They will fasten all
sorts Of things, and just as certain as you
are living and breathing and know a man,
he VIII beg your small safety-pins from
you to fasten his tie down at the back or
the tab Of his shirt in front. regard them
as great invention; that is, when they
really live up to their regulations and are
safe. Sometimes they are not, and then
you realize how volubly you can speak 10
anguages-English and profaue Ia the
way OF exciting evil thoughts and words,
the sarety-pin and collar button are on a
par, though, as have a greater knowledge
OF the safety pin. l can speak more posi-
lively of its capabilities in the way OF
arousing feminine wrath aud starting the
feminine tongue. Still, what can we do
without them.
LITTLE THINGS WE ALL NEED.
There are SO many things we can't do
without.
If the day is dark and dreary, you can't
very we'll do without somebody who is
chlrpy and will brace you up.
If the day is bright and cheerful, you
cant very well do without somebody to dis
cuss it with.
II you have got a new frock, you can't
very well dispense witho 1t somebody
masculine to admire it and feminine to
envy 1t.
If you have got new bonnet, you can't
very we'll do without good mirror by
which to put it on il the most fetching po-
sition.
If you have got q new cook, you can't very
well do without somebody to teach her
your ways
If you have got cold bottle, you can't
very well do without a good oorkscrew to
open it.
If you have got four of kind, you can't
very well do without somebody to bet
against you.
II you have got new sweetheart-but,
there, you don't want new sweetheart:
you want the old one-the one who knows
your little queern esses and forgives them;
who knows your virtues and admires you
and tells you so, and who does not have to
be trained to any little funny way that you
have got. New sweetheArts are like new
dogs-tbey are only desirable when you are
young and have great deal of time, and
want TO pose as trainer. Bah.
