to an American it invariably causes ire

1t is confessed at last that cigarette smok-

become so general that the present season
has witnessed an even holder innovation at

Question, says the New York World, has
been raised in London police court by
Mrs. Watts, who is living apart from her
husband under a separation order obtained
by her. 1t seems that Mr.. Watts has re-
tanned in his keeping a large amount of
clothing which his wife had purchased wi
money he gave her for that purpose. Mrs.
Watts lawyer commended that the property
in the noneyegpassed from the husband
when he handed it to the wife, and thus the
articles which she purchased thereupon be-
came part of her separate, but Mr.. Watts
and his legal advisers refused to accept this
view Of the case.
Unfortunately this delicate question was
not settled. The case was withdrawn upon
the discovery that the articles we're worth
more than els, which is the limit of the

Have you ever noticed the various ex-
pressions at muscsle7" a lady said to the
New YORK Tribune writer. "They are
really extremely funny. At Miss C.'s the
other night NJ. and got into a Corner and
examined every one, and it was most anus
ing. Some assumed q rapt. ecstatic look
that was irresistibly provocative of laugh
ter; some looked peusive and wistful; others
and they were generally people who are
not musical at all, but fancy it is the thing
to appear so-beat time, or kept their
fingers moving as if they were playing
sympathetic chords on an imaginary piano
But the most delightful couple were those
two Grrant fiirts, Miss Y. and Mr.. u. they
really do not either OF them care a bit for
music, and by some bad luck they had been
seized by their hostess and given a sofa
quite up in front and nearly opposite the
musicians. There they were hOpelessly
trapped for the entire evening, and their
expressions, as they tried to assume a con-
ventional air Of appreciation and interest,
we're too comical
81 will give you a pointer on this subject
of mus Gales, by the by; unless you are
really an enthusiastic musician, try to get
of into the conservatory or in the farthest
room by the door, SO that the more material
part of your being may be comforted by in
tervals of chatter, while your mind is
elevated by the long drawn out and dulcst
strains OF the music. My own forte being
conversation and not music, was wise
enough TO secure a seat we'll in the rear, and
happened to notice particularly the back
of the women's necks and their hair. How
few people appreciate the beauty there is In
the nape OF the neck The present fashion
Of wearing il perfectly bare greatly en-
bances its beauty. The soft. loose arrange.
ment OF the hair, too, just now. with its un-
duiatiDg waves and small, simple knot, is
most becoming TO the neck and 1t Is quite
wonderful how youthful the backs Of the
women look who are we'll up In their 40s.
This reminds me,n continued this lively
