ART Tn DRESS.
Even If She Is Not Pretty,
A French Woman Makes
Herself Attractive.
SHE STUDIES HER POINTS.
An Old Wedding Custom-sharp
Partisan Wit-Gloves and
Kisses.

/ will venture to say that there is
not a single French woman who pays
any attention to dress at all who has
not a perfectly distinct idea of what
shs can wear and what she cannot.
She knows what are her good points
aud what are her poo ones, and how
to bring the good ones into relief and
skillfully co mccall the others. And
even when she is uncompromisingly
plain, she audaciously makes the
most of her plainness, and becomes
what is called belle lGide. 1t vas
this kind of a woma that BalZae had
in mind when he said that homeliness
could be made as great a charm al
beauty, if women only knew how to
use it.
The French woman understands
color, and knows whether to choos e
cold or warm tomes, as she is a blonde
ar a brunette. And when she has
found a color or a combination that
is becoming, she never loses sight of
it. We all remember ''the most be-
coming dress I ever had in my life"
A French woman would analyze that
dress, ask herself why it was becom-
ing; was it the color, the soft clinging
material, because the lines suited her
figure, or what? She would find out
the reason for it's success, and repro
duce the same effect a hundred times,
modifying the style to suit the pre-
vailing fashion OF the moment.
No har arnc foo lOn0 Ghn UnQrC
sleeves that cut them in two Is her
waist too short, she never wears a
belt. And above everything else she
tries to accent anything individual
about herself-to give herself a little
of the magnetism of personality"
No one knows how many deficiencies
this may make up for.
As an illustration of this, | once saw
an artistic little French dressmaker
take an odd, ungainly looking girl,
with no figure nor color, and out OF
7 her very oddness create a charm. For
material she chose a sort of soft cling
ing stuff, a duli green, but a green
with more blue than yellow III It, the
only kind brunettes can wear.
She fairly made the dress on
the girl. draping it skillfully
to hide the deficiencies
of the figure, and softening it
against the face with velvet OF the
same shade as the gown. Then by
subtle touches ofduli gold and Indian
red in a quaint passementerie, she
seized and heightened a Southern,
Spanish note in the girls appearance,
and made one forget the formless
waist by a scarf that went around 1T,
from which dangled rare, oriental
looking ornaments in the ann reds
and Colds. The girl suggested some
sort of barbaric princess, and had one
of the chief characteristics of beauty,
the being able TO attract and fix the

little likelihood Of deception, while
unwholesome headgear or other iii
dividual practices can hardly, as yet,
have had time to produce any material
effect upon either sex, we may regard
the differences indicated by the figures
as practically due to the working OF
herediJy alone. +
Now, there is no apparent reason
why girls should not inherit a ten
dency to badness as we'll as boys. I'M
less that tendency is checked by some
other factor. Such a factor is sexual
selection; for l presume it is hardly
necessary to argue here that a bald
headed woman would not stand much
chance of survival" iii the struggle
for matrimonial honors. As men
have always practically done the ''se-
lecting,n and will probably continue
to do SO more and more as the condi-
lions of modern life render the com-
petition Tor husbands more severe, the
woman's voice in the matter, when
she has any, being limited to n simple
negative, it is not likely that the state
of badness to which the human race
is said to be tending will ever affect
the feminine half of it.-PopulGr Sci

Nice white Hands.

IF nice, clean, white hands are, de-
sired, the following suggestions will be
found useful: When through with the
days work, partially fill a basin with
suds of warm soft water and CASTLE
soap and scrub the hands in it gently
with a firm but soft finger brush until
no vestige Of dirt is visible, even in those
telltale places, "the lines of the hand.9
Rinse them well afterward in clear wa
ter and dry thoroughly with a soft towel,
pushing back at the same time the scarf
skin from around the base of each nail.
Then rub them briskly with each other
for FIVE minutes, not forgetting to draw
each finger several times through the
tightly closed fingers of the other hand,
but not SO hard as to make the joints
crack. That enlarges them. Persever-
ance in this will not only help n to re-
tain tapering fingers, but will much i'm
prove the Shape of stubby ones. 1t will
restore in a great measure the symmetry
Of finger tips blunted by misuse or con-
slant pressure against some hard sub.
stance.

Oh. t,,e Rustic.

One of the ambitions Of dress just now
is the rustic. The frou-frou of a gown
is one of its desired merits, and those
who wear silk petticoats like them to as
sert themselves in the same way; but
even silk has its drawbacks, as it is apt
to wear ont, and it is costly. A new
material called Victoria silk, which is
devoted to retticoats, is to behad in gray
and black, brown and black and many
other mixtures. It rustles like ordinary
silk, but in truth it boasts more of wool
than silk, though the twoaa r SO COM
bined that the silk is upperfnost. Such
pettieoats are really a capital invention.
They are handsomely founced and are
suited to hard wear, for the mud brushes
off them quite easily. They will not
crease, and tley have a good appearance.
What more could be expected Of any
petticoat? Fashionable women are TAX
ing them up, which is much in their
favor,

Frozen fruits are a welcome addition
to dance suppers, as being both refresh
ing and uncommon. They are prepared
after the fashion of water ice-i. o., the
fruits are cut or pounded, and when so
treated, used without being strained.
Fresh and canned material, is equally
well adapted to this purpose. the only
difference being that with the latter
half the quantity Jofs sugar prescribed
will suffice. Almost any. kind Of fruit
can be used. To freeze oranges, take 1
dozen oranges. the juice Of 2 lemons, 1
quart of water andd4 pounds Of sugar.
Rub the1rind Of 4aoFanges thoroughly
into the sugar, peel all the fruit, free it
completely from pulp and skin. Add
the sugar and the lemon juice. After
one houror thereabohts put in the wa
ter, stirring steadily until the sugar is
quite dissolved. Freeze and serve when
wanted.

Pulled and full are the sleeves to the
elbow, but from there down they are
tight fitting. A band Of the velvet forms
the collar and encircles the waist.
The costume is SO designed that differ
emit colored silk waists may be worn
with it. Pale shades Of lilac, green or
white would look well with it. The
waist tucks in beneath the velvet belt.
The popularity of the cape is peren-

A new and stylish garment is made
of dull green faced cloth laid in full

The collar is a bead affair, with a full

The division of Princess Margaret's
garter amongst her bridesmaids after
the marriage ceremony is a modern
variant Of a very old custom. The
original notion was that the bride
wore quite anuinber of pretty ribbons
as well as the ordinary garter, and
these were i'll due ours distri buted
amongst the masculine friends of the
bridegroom, while in Scotland the
miner invariably had one to tie round
his bagpipe. The comforting Of the
gift was supposed to constitute the re-

GENERAL WHITE. GENERAL ROBERTS.
has the Victoria cross and the khedive's
star. He won the former by q feat of sim
gular bravery and audacity as Charaziah.
For three years during the annexation
period of Burmah he commanded the field
force in that country and established a rep
utation as a general of the most distin-
guished ability. Thirty Thousand men were
under him-mixed troops drawn from every
branch of the British and Indian services.
Since 1889 he has held theis,most important
military charge ON the frontier-the Beloo-
chistan command. His knowledge of i'm
pending questions on the Burmese and re-
mote northwest is profound. He is besides
one of the foremost of those who advocate
the establishment of greater political iber-
ty among the natives.
General Lord Roberts, the predecessor OF
General White in command of the army in
India, whose nickname of Little Bobs"
was years ago bestowed upon him by an af-
~fectionate and admiring rank and file, was
raised to the peerage Jan. !, 1892, under the
title of Baron Roberts of Candahar and
Waterford. He entered the Indian army
as a lieutenant in 1881, and his career has
been one of exceptional valor, winning for
him innumerable honorable mentions"
and other distinctions such as British sol
diers covet, including knighthood, the Vic
toria cross and the Grand Cross of the Bath.
While physically he is a little man, with
affable manners, he is the, ideal English Of
fcer, with great common ense, self reli-
ance and powers of enduranceq His devo-
ton to un~attractive duties is SO great that
it has been said OF him that he would have
been as good a private as he is an officer.
No doubt some of his soldierly virtues are
hereditary, just as is his close association
with the Indian army. His father was enc
of the old East India company's best serv-
ants, and the traditional gallantry in the
east was handed from sire to son. More
over, he is Irish. with an unfailing supply of
geniality and with a sanguine spirit that
readily communicated itself to the army
and kept the soldiers hopeful even under
the most trying circumstances. The eff
cheney of his subordinates is in some meas
ure a reflection of his owng
