Girl aderewski in England Other
matters of General Interest.
English women are going quite as daft
o,-sr paderewshi as the silliest Of their
American sisters ever did. And with the
tanptrature up to 1907, too ! One hot day
they cncOred the poor man with such
zeal and kept him trotting up and down
+replatform steps so constantly. that he
81 last sank upon the piano stool, played
a soothiug nocturne as a gentle hint, and
then departed, to be seen no more.
Oflate the young girls in society have
taken up the foreign fashion n courtas v
Ing.
This extremely pretty old time custom,
ffproucrlv carried out, is most attractive;
hint its indiscriminate use is curiously in
appropriate and sometimes absurd.
A token of special respect, it should
never be offered to young women; and it
Is altogether out Of place from all but
young girls
A single exception is when young mat
roug wish to show very unusual honor
and to mark the fact that it is very un-
usuaI-to a young woman Of distinction,
anold lady, a grande dame, q person of
high position.
Tits appropriate from every one to the
rresdcut's wife; but even in that case it
seems somewhat awkward from elderly
women.
The General rule is therefore to con-
fine the courtesy to young women, and to
very special occasions.
In form it is, when well done, really
graceful; but it has it's own cachet and
should be regularly learned, not picked
mat random. 1t is by no means the
long sweeping movement of the minuet;
nor is it Just the courtesy Of the queens
drawing room and its curious little de-
Election becomes ridiculous when awz-
wardly done. 1t is better to omit such
elaborate manners unless they can be eX-
ercsed with grace.
The freedom and gayety enjoyed by the
average American girl, says the New
York sun, are quite unknown to her
English cousin. The latter, until she has
a home of her own, is rarely allowed to
giya any fCstigitY on her own account

that is, with elbow sleeves ana bodice
cut half low in the neck. In one corner of
the card was, Tea and chatter" and in
the other the notice, In consequence of
the extreme heat, ladies are requested to
come in semi-evening dress" The inno-
walton was such a success that the com
pany voted to revive the fashions of their
grandmOthers, who always wore sleeveless
and lOW-necked trocks in summer.
"Give her q few hairpins and she will
make home happy was said of a young
woman to the New York Tribune who
possesses infinite resources. 1t was a
figure Of speech which viii doubtless ap-
peal more to the feminine understanding
than to the mind masculine, for the latter
