The truly modish belle has an eye to all
her belongings. In addition to having sets
of lamp shades to match or properly con-
trast with certain gowns as she actually
does, she is careful if she affects dogs to
dress up or down to them. For her rambles
in the park these spring mornings frock
of golden brown tones admirably with the
tawn fur of her Irish setter Later, Tom
and Jerry, pair of pure white terriers,
will accompany her abroad in her midsum-
mer strolls in the country and will need a
tailor-made dress of white cloth, with dog
whip and leash of hunters green to COM
plete the cool-looking effect.
The attention paid to the dressing of win
dows in the candy shops has developed a
new industry. A young woman was found
the other day tying bows at the ribbon
counter of one of the large drygoods estab-
lishments who spends her evenings teach
ing other young women the art in which she
e1cels 'They are candy shop girls" she
said, "and they do the windows; at Easter
and Christmas have to do it myself, but
for the rest of the year these girls who are
taking lessons practice"
"Why," she was asked, sdon't your
pupils learn readily?"
''Yes, they learn to initiate me quickly
enough, but they don't originate anything
I never tie bow twice alike, and I am al
ways thinking about new way"
Wherein the girl struck the keynote of
all success in this crowding age.
The peculiar bent of woman's mind is
shown in her attitude toward the two
English prisoners, Mrs. Osborne and Mrs.
Montagu, whose child died from terror and
exhaustion after being shut up in dark
room for three hours as a punishment. Mrs.
Osborne has won her release in part, un-
doubtedly, through the zeal of her sex,
which has in print and petition earnestly
beseeched the Government that the stigma
of Jail nativity should not befall the inno-
cent babe. In the eyes of her sisters Mrs.
Osborne's offense, though it is the double
one of theft and peri jury, is venial. Mrs.
Montagu, on the other hand, may be con-
sldered the victim of a too severe adherence
to principle; the testimony forth-showing
that she was a stern but kind mother up to
the date of the tragedy which threw her into
prison. Not a woman's voice, however, has
been raised in her behalf or in the behalf of
the coming child-on the contrary, women
all over England, and not few in this
country, have pronounced her punishment
all too light, and have urged that not day
of it should be lifted. When it is ques-
tion of material right and wrong, a woman
is often swayed by her sympathies-touch
her mothers heart, however, and she is
steel
Just as the ideal rainy-da dress is about
to be evolved comes the hint of possibility
of its not being needed. One enterprising
firm in New York is planning glass avn
ing; permanent affair which shall protect
the long stretch of its sidewalk, affording
shoppers an opportunity to stare in at the
windows and trip across the pavement with
the same ease on wet day as in fine
weather. There has been more or less talk |
since 'Looking Backward" about the ad- |
and possibility of covered foot |
ways and it will not be remarkable If this |
departure should prove the |
efficient "little leaven."
A dressy and pretty canopy for brass or |
enamel bedstead is shown in the accompany |
ing illustration. As will be seen, it offers |
q tasteful solution of the corner |
