Cleverness in Dressing.

The cleverest woman in the matter
Of dress is the plain woman who con.
trives never to let you know she's plain.
To be successful in this respect one
must have natural good taste. It's no
use to put oneself entirely in the hands
of q good dressmaker. Dressmakers
need directing. They can't be expect
ed to know q customers weak or strong
points as well as she should know them
herself. All women, except those with
%hopelessly bad figures and no threats.
pay for dressing. A gown is usually
becoming If it is the same color as the
wearer's eyes. A bright bandeau under
the brim of a hat is apt to have an i'm
proving effect. Good taste is a thing
to be thankful for. Those who possess
it are inclined to value it too lightly.

SHOCKING DANCES.
suggestive Gyrations Seen Mt tn
Worlds Fairs

'~8Ses1ASe 1yFat1Ons seen Mt the
Worlds Fairs
"A Wedding in Damascus is the
)lay now to be seen in the theater in
he Turkish village in the worlds fair
grounds. The manager in somewhat
INITIATED English recites the story of
he play. 1t is thus:
Naaman is the father of the family.
With his wife Munirah and his daugh-
er lsdihar he is talking over family
lfairs when the maidseryant Ghalich
announces a visitor. The woman, after
he manner of the Orient, conceal
themselves. Naaman welcomes his
7lests and nargileh, sherbet and coffee
ire served. After great exchange = of
compliments the hand of Naaman's
laughter Is asked for Saaid Murad.
After consulting his wife the sutton
s accepted and friends come into the
louse and there is great rejoicing.
Veled women come from Saaid
Murad, to take his bride. More re,
:reshments and compliments are ex-
changed when the bride comes out
II the harem and Is taken to the BRIDE
sroom's house. There is more rejoic-
ng and the wedding festivities begin.
This Is where the dancing and Eastern
''encing takes place.
1t Is hard to describe that dancing.
La Sirene in the BLACK Crook is
1othing to the black-eyed ~voluptuous
women who dance the 'danse de ven-
re-" There is no immodesty in the
1ress, but the sensuous movements
iced nothing to add to their suggest
veness. Some of the women in the
audience leave when this begins, and
lot a few of the more fastidious of
the men also retire. Dancer after
lancer comes out and goes through
evolutions which would shock civilized
morality, but in which the stolid Turks
see nothing to offend.
The whole performance lasts q lit
tie over an hour, the curtain falling
as the last dancer dances with cas-
tanets on her fingers and jingling coins
IN her body to an air for which she
sings words evidently intended to in
licate the cordiality existing between
the United States and Turkey, for she
swings in one hand the crescent and in
the other the stars and stripes.
After this is ended the manager an
nounces the finish, and the. audience
retires to make way for another.

A DOG STORY.


One of the species That Acted the Good
samaritan.
Chicago dog has been distinguish
ing himself recently. He Is mem Ter
Of the canine aristocracy that sleep on
cushions in warm rooms, have baths i'm
porcelain tubs twice a week, and live
principally on tenderloin steaks. This
particular dog Ii of 'the spaniel family,
and has long since acquired reputa-
ton as perfect gentleman.
For several days past the servant un-
der whose Immediate care this dog is
placed has noticed that he seemed un-
willing to cat his breakfast in the
house. Every morning he took his por-
ton of meat between his jaws, walked
TO the door. wagged his tail. and
looked appealingly into the servants
eyes II the door was opened in re-
Spouse to this mute request he disap-
pcared Immediately and was not seen
again until after luncheon. If the
door was not opened he placed the
meat on the floor close by and sat
guard over il until an opportunity for
escape arrived.
The dogs mistress learned of his un-
accountable conduct. She was very
much interested, and engaged detec-
tive To shadow the dog and report upon
his proceedings and conduct. The de-
tective was her brother. so his services
were gratuitous. One morning he sta
toned himself outside the kitchen. and
when the dog appeared was careful not
To attract his attention. But the dog
saw him, and Immediately put on an
air of dilettante indifference, as though
he had some idea of taking a constitu-
tional, but wasn't quite sure whether
he felt well enough. So the detective
pretended to be busy looking for four
leaved clovers. The dog was trihe
suspicious at first, but the detective
was u good actor. and managed TO de-
ceive him completely; and presently
the dog lounged away toward the gate.
and then, when he thought the detec-
tive wasn't looking, sneaked out.
Down the alley he trotted, fat beef
steak in his mouth, and presently
turned into a vacant shed in the next
block
When the detective arrived he found
the dog sitting quietly in the corner of
shed. He seemed rather surprised and
good deal mortified, but was extreme
ly cordial. In another corner of the
shed the last piece of steak was rapidly
doing down the throat of another dog.
This dog wasn't handsome In fact, he
was about the homliest, dirtiest most
unkempt and generally used-up dog the
detective had ever seen. There was an
ugly sore on his side and his ribs were
unduly prominent. But he was dog,
II he wasn't beautiful, and the other
dogs charity was clearly his only sup
port.
And this, good people, was dog.
Not IA man, blessed with reason and
education in the principles of Christian
ity, but plain, brute, dog. Yet how
many men, placed in similar situa-
ton, would act the good Samaritan as
he did?-Chicago News.
