from men about their friendship.
If yeu Will notice you will see that
men either like each other very much

They have very few Of the petty
quarrels with each other that women
do.
| think they are more tolerant of

They don't take Otfeuse as quick as

saw an illustration of this the other
evening on Broadway.
Two young men, who might have
been stock brokers, came out OF hotel,
and as they stood on the steps one of
the twain took two cigars from his
pocket, and after slight inspection lit
one himself and gave The other to his
companion.
They stood there and pulled and
chaited cheerfully for moment, when
suddenly the cigar of the recipient be-
gan to hiss vigorously and to emit a
stream of red and blue fire.
The shock and surprise of the whole
affair seemed to stun the smoker for a
moment, and then he dropped the pyro-
technic cigar to the sidewalk and fell
upon his friend, who was bent double
with laughter, and had happy tears in
his eyes.
There was a sort of mock "set-to" for
moment and then the sufferer said !:
well, that's one on me-" and they re-
entered the hotel arm i'll arm.
Now, wonder if any woman who
had been SO publicly held up to ridi-
Guile by friend of her own sex, not, of
course. in the smoking way, but by
some other equally trying method, could
have dismissed the affair as lightly as
that?

CORSET NOVELTIES.
only Expensive Ones shape the
Figure Correctly

Oiiy Expensive ones shape the
Figure Correctly.
Novelties in cOrsets will never cease.
The daintiest innovation comes as usual
from Paris i'll the shape of black silk
coutil, boned as closely as the white
split whalebones can be placed, lined
with black silk and trimmed at the top
with black lace and baby ribbons to
match the pink, blue, crimson, violet or
yellow lining,
These sweet things are glove-fitting,
quite short and exceptionally light.
Unfortunately, they are source of DIS
content, for who but Helen Gould can
afford TO pay $50 for pair of summer
corSetS?
There are other designs of silk coutil
and superior make, with pliable bones
and lace trills, for So and less, but they
are not sllk-lined nor as light as fifty
feathers. lie gOSSamer corset, made
OF gummed net or fine iinen, are cool
and pretty and cost only s., but they
SOIL easily and when the stiffening
comes out they are useless. A woman
can't do with less than two, ana the
Cleaners charge fourth of their value
TO do them up. Evening cOrsets are
Liaue OF white SILK, and there are as
many styles as there are full-dress
oodIces. All are lOw-cut, but the EN-
pres are very, very low and cost IS
pair.
The same make in ordinary lengths
sells at ST. Then there are black coutil
of the finest weave for the same price,
ana there are 81 goods that a woman
can trim up atan outlay of dollar or SO
that serve every purpose. CorsetS that
shape the figure, as the mOdistes say,
cannot be bought for much under IS.
