"Wreichedly weary. Wish ! had been

clothes all painted on. Actually. between
the day you order a gown and the DAY it
comes home the mode changes SO that YOU
aren't quite up to date. 1t was all very
well in the days Of the diminuendo. You
could rip into a breadth, run in a goro and
be quite modish. But this crescendo is an
other thing. l don't think we will be able

down in a sleigh, and here is madame

Little Edith. a 5-yesr-old daughter,
whose behavior is not always the best the
market affords, says the New York Times,
has been full of excitement over the cold
weather and skating prospects She went
to her mother day or two ago begging for
q pair Of skates, to which the reply was
given that the skates should be got IL size
would TRY to be a good girl; not just for
to day, Edith" said her mother, who
thought she saw an opportunity, but for
every day."
Edith's black eyes snapped. "Hou can
keep your old skates" she replied promptly
aud disrespectfully, If I've got to be an
angel all the timew
Edith evidently sympathized with an old
farmer in Western New York, who told his
pastor he didn't know as he wanted TO GO
to heaven II he must "sit and sing hallelujah
through all eternity"
There are many and devious WAYS and
means Of getting into society practic ID nov =
adays says the New York Tribune, and it
would be interesting to know OF all the
wirepulling that has been done by this one
and that one before the requirement of q
recognized position in the world OF fashion.
A curious combiDa lion of circumstances co.
CURED not long ago. Mr.. A, who was
''out of it" leased a ''pslatial manslon" on
Fifth avenue at an exorbitant rent. which
he sub-leased to Mrs. B.-who was we'll
established Tin tho swlm"-with the under
standing that she should introduce his
young daughter to society and thereby
throw open the portals Of the "beau monde"
to the rest of the family. Certain fine
ladies' however, had been told of the trans
action and, forming a cabal, made it known
to Mrs. B. in a roundabout manner that 1t
was useless to try to force "those people"
| upon the Four Hundred. The Notifying
| discussion on the subject coming, as it was
sure TO do, to the ears Of MIR. A. made him
perfectly furious, and as unluckily the
lease had not been signed, he withdrew from
the arrangement, and Mrs. B., rather than
encounter the comments which would be
made about her change of plans concluded
to pass her winter in the south of France,
At dinner the other evening, says the

Half dozen people who spend their tens

lady who is noted for her magnificent toilets
confessed to being very angry with her maid

1t begins to look as if the big theater hat
would succumb, says Clara Belle in the
Times Democrat AS long as we were
talked to about the rights of others we didn't
mind bit. Maybe we fixed it up in our
minds that we had some rights, too, and
that one of them was to wear q big hat if
we wanted and where we wanted We
didn't pay much attention TO all the talk
about the misery OF the folks behind u.s. be-
cause we didn't believe il. To be sure
people might have a weak minded desire to
see the play but if they were prevented
they had the compensation of viewing a
very lovely hat As to suggestions about
bad taste and all that, We had a right to
think small hats in bad taste il we wished.
80 we went on our way and serenely wore
what we wanted to at the theaters and felt
quite comfortable in spite of all the fuss
Ind bother made about us But when they
come to say that only ugly women
wear big hats. OF course it Is absurd but it
is quite another matter. Did any one ever
hear such nonsense as that tue woman
whose face is out Of line tries to read lust
her curves by an enormous hat, or at least
tries by such a ruse to keep attention from
being fixed on her unsiRhtlinessl 1t is equal
nonsense to talk about q little crown ed
affair being the usual aiornment of a wo-
man who realizes that her face is her chief
attraction, and that the eye should not be
diverted from 1t by a big hat OF course
small hats are becoming. Any one who
wear big hat. which is very trying, can,
of course, wear a small one. Still, stupidity
of that sort makes it necessary for one to
put on the smallest hat she has, and 90 to
the theater every night to show it. How |
do hate such interference-aud | with a
love of a new hat that Is too big to pass
through doorl
We all know that women are treated
well in this country, and still, the con-
ductors on any line OF surface cars do
delight In loading defenseiess woman with
coppers, nickels and-most joyous to him of
all-with the big dollar known as cart
wheel. A woman never has any place to
put those tokens Of conductors regard,
says Clsra Belle in the New York Press.
Probably she tucked the $5-bilI she meant TO
use on the cars in her glove. and think Of So
worth of change. mostly in coopers, and no
place to put it but ones gloves One woman
