An English magazine lately offered a
prize for the best answer to the question,
''What kind of a man does a woman most
sdmirel" The answers vary widely
The one which took the prize has, among
the requisites Of the ideal, the following:
"The man must interest by uncommon
ness, either in appearance or maner, or
he must have the Undesirable quality
called charm He must know his own
mind and steadily work thereto, even to
masterfulness. He disregards they say,
and is not one of a herd. His friends are
men-not women He is only once de-
ceived by the same person. His perhaps
hasty temper never runs to unSindness.
He needs sympathy and solace in a some
times divine discomfort. Heabides under
no failure, but goes on. His occasional
want of success only attaches and rivets
his determination
An instance of Jenny June's ready wit
is told by an amused bystander, says the
New York Times, who overheard this
conversation. A young woman was

nation followed: " I should have known
the relationship, my dear, by the resent

makes il all the more remarkable" con-
tinued the other without the least embar-
rassment or hesitation.
When one young man whom know says
Clara Belle in the n o. Democrat be-
came engaged he hadn't the least idea
that 5000 would ever come TO him. Five
thousand, of course. was not as much as
he would get by marrying her. but there
were other things to be considered and
it was with heavy heart that he went
for his usual evening call. There was no
getting out of it. She loved him, evil

especially as his legacy would be known
of by all in few days. Oh, if she would
only give him some loophole out of that
engagement. Meanwhile he was kissing
her and explaining how he had run the
whole length of the avenue to get there
the sooner. 1t was only little later they
were sitting in the half dark parlor and
he had made up his mind that he couldn't
and wouldn't stand it, when she said
softly:
DO you love me, Gerald, better than
anyone elsep
His brain reeed, he started from her
side. "Whatl Wretched womanl You
have deceived mel" he cried, THAN any
one else! Who else loves your Nayi

and down the street. AS he turned the
corner he wiped his noble brow and muir
INJURED: "a close shave, but l did it."
Women are shirt-waist crazy, says the
New York World Shifting, calico, silk,
satin and null have been levied upon,
converted into a backless blouse belted
over or under a skirt and finished off with
jacket or blazer. Some are tucked,
some have butterfly revers, others are
frilled, and 2ll are fussy, comfortable and
moderately pretty. The novelty is known
in the trade as the serpentine waist; the
fronts instead of being perma-
nent are loose and long
kerchief fashion, and tie in the back
Specimen waists made oflawn are sold as
low as % cents in the Sixth avenue and
Fourteenth street shops. Tidier gar
ments in the best prints, beautifully
made of French and English cottons to
measure cost 50. For the plaid silks and
silk crepe the buyer pays more than she
would for a dress pattern of imported
suiting. However, shirt waists are the
rage, and from morning until dinner time
the counters are hedged with importunate
buyers.
Have you noticed the new trick in pho
tographsl asks Clara Belle in the Times
Democrat. Some of the best photograph,
ers are trying it. One wonders if the
swell girls who pose and look so naughty
and exclusive realize the trick The effect
is secured usually with an empire gown.
From the foot of the gown there are per-
pendicular rows of braiding or ribbon set
far apart that reach up above the knees
If the dress is made with a petticoat,
over which the upper dress opens, the
edges of the latter are finished with this
braiding and the petticoat has some that
divides it in the middle or there is a belt
that has long pendant or cord. Now,
when the girl sits down on a divan with
her dress closely drawn about her she Is
apparently in tights The three perpen-
dicular lines exactly outline her figure in
detail from the ankles to where the usual
comic opera dress would give hip draper
les.
Some of these effects are most startling
1 have in mind one of very beautiful
girl, who is posed lightly on the wide arm
of divan. The dress is tightly drawn
and the picture is taken to only little
