face III her looking glass in a very short
time A beauty may be as capricious as
she likes, but let her stomach get capri
cious and she ceases to be a beauty. Good
looks and bad digestion are not to be
reconciled. If the department of the in
terror is badly managed everything will
go wrong-temper, complexion, teeth,
health, morals and manners. Nissan
thrOpes, pessimists, croakers, GROWERS,
grumblers, winners and people who nag,
groan, complain, sigh, scowl and have
melting moods are out of order inside.
Lady Brooke, says the New York Sun,
presided at flower table during a recent
London fete. The flower she chose as her
own was the modest Marguerite, and her
table was adorned with masses of the
snowy bloom, with trails of feathery as
paragus vine. Her gown was of black
oregon, the skirt arranged in three Jet
hemmed flounces, the bodice accordion
plated, sleeved with black satin, and
belted with violet velvet. The collar was
of jet, the Gpaulets over the shoulder of
beautiful old lace and bunch of Mar
guerites was tucked in the violet belt. A
dainty jet bonnet, with butterfly bows of
lace, conferred with a diamond buckle,
completed one of the most attractive
toilets worn, and gave the fair lady once
more first place in the beauty contest.
The famous Bradley-Martin wedding,
says Clara Belle, has given rise TO new
term. AS every one knows, Mr. Bradley
Martin refused to pay duty on his dauPh-
ter's wedding dress, saying that it had
been worn and was even slightly soiled.
One of the gentlemen in charge of the
large ball held at the Madison Square
garden asked his wife what gown she pro-
posed wearing to the ball.
"Why, my BradleyM gown" she
replied.
''What on earth is that?' asked her
husband, visions Of an impending dress
makers bill looming up before him.
'Why, my old ball gown. of course-it's
soiled and worn, and ! must be in the
fashion"
Gold ink is one of the stationery crazes
of the season, and it is an exceedingly ir-
ritating one. Only those who have re
ceived dazzling gilt letter and tried to
read it in a sunny room can realize how
terrible is this new fashion. But for the
moment it is popular and must be en-
dured. Externally these golden letters
are pretty to look upon, but they must
cause the already sufficiently puzzled
postmen a considerable amount of extra
trouble. The most attractive part about
them is the seal, which is also golden. It
looks extremely well, and is less startling
than the huge disks of violet and green
and dull pink with which letters have
recently been adorned
In lighter vein, says the New York
Tribune, comes the following communica-
ton from a girl in society written from
her point of view why are we not
given professions as a matter of course,
like our brothers," demands this young
lady. ut is dreadfully unfair to expect
us TO caIole men into marrying US, and it
too humiliating for anything to have the
family all expecting and waiting for us to
get some young man to take us for better
or worse. My father and brothers are
fond of me, am sure, and yet am being
constantly twitted with the want of
husband. OF course, know with papa IL
is only that he wants 10 see me provided
for; but why cannot some other means 10
an end be contrived than dressing US up
and giving us chance, as they call III
Every one know what going into society
means 1t is simply 30 let us be seen, and
If possible, get husband There is no
use Of mincing matters we all know
what II signifies. DO you suppose II IL
were not for that that we would be al
lowed 70 idle all our tiJae away and buy
expensive clothes, while the boys are
made 10 work. " ever have girls Of my
