VULGAR WOMEN.
Few They Offend Sorrowfnl

and Lous-Suferine World.
Vulgar women like to attract at
tention; they are loud In their
dress and talk they can be seen
and heard at distance; they are
numerous, generally annoying and
often offensive.
Vulgar women walk like grena-
diers they come down on their
heels with force enough to shake
ANYTHING from an 81" road station
to a summer hotel piazza.
Vulgar women discuss private
affairs in public; their converse
ton is audible to passers by; they
invite the observation Of strangers,
and they are flattered by the faml-
liar comments of fiunkeys, hirts,
fakirs, gutter merchants and
Broadway loafers. -.
Vulger women appear in public
wearing brilliant colors, brilliant
cheeks, audible perfumes, Jewelry
and sensational styles.
Vulgar women may win admlra-
ton, but they never win respect
before an individual Is respected
by others she must respect herself.
Women who wear doll-baby
tresses and powder their faces like
clowns may come of very good
families, but they are vulgarians.
Women who bear tales, who be-
trav confidence and make mischief
with their tongues are vulgarians
of the most dispicable type.
Vulgar women are dangerous
they not only corrupt good man
pers, but they are bad example
for the ignorant and innocent, and
a disturbing element among refined
neople-New York World.

What 1t Cost Him to Let Colonial Maud
Order.
Banning Herald: Mr.. Henry J. Dock
weller, city engineer of Los Angeles and
probably the next state esurveyor-general
OF California, Is one of the most liberal
OF young gentlemen, Notwithstanding
the fact that Col. Ed Maud persists in
calling him tight wad."
Some days ago Mr.. Dockweiler had as
guest Mr.. Harrison, city engineer of
Santa Barbara, and determined to enter
tain him IN fitting style. The entertainer
and entertained dropped into that pop
ular and justly-celebrated resort, john
ME Griffin's Cabinet, on Second street,
and there found collection of choice
spirits, consisting of Col. Ed. Maud. DR..
Buehler, of the board of education, Capt.
BILLY" Llewellyn, who lately went all
the way to Chicago in a special car
to shake dice for the drinks. and

the record by losing. The party ad-
journed to Jerry Illich's, where the cap
tain requested Colonel Maud to occupy
the head of the table and do the order.
ing. At this Dockwei,er emitted roar
that could be heard in Pasadena, for
Maud has q reputation as a gourmet,
which has cost him thousands OF dollars,
and can order more expensive repast
than any man in this part of the state.
The roar failed to work, however, as the
match was for a nice dinner, with no
price stipulated.
Maud started in by ordering cocktails,
made of three-star brandy, at 30 cents
each. Then a few little neck CLAIMS at
the same price. followed by green turtle
soup at dollar plate, and three quart
bottles of sauterne.
1t is needless to follow Maud Though
the intricaciea of that repast. He didn't
forget anything-not even a half dozen
Kumm frappe. Henry threw up his
hands and registered an objection to
each order, and after fhe turtle soup lost
his appetite, but to the others it was an
occasion of much comfort and Joy.
The check amounted to $4760, which
Henry has had framed and enclosed in
plush case, and he exhibits it as an evil
dence of pertdy on the part of his friends.
He says he will hereafter eschew Colonel
Maud, as that gentleman lately invited
him to a picnic which cost hfm $40,
while the other guests escaped with q
$3.50 assessment.

Ofthe final couple Of pictures the first
ia natty yerands dress, and the other
an elaborate and elegant house dresH.
The material used in the case Of the
former ie dark cloth and it is made
perfectly plain with no adornment what
ever. The skirt is cut trife wider
than the ordinary bell skirt and is edged
with heavy cord around the bottom.
The front and aides must fit snugly and
the back is laid in two box pleats. The
round waiet hes as few seams as possible
and goes inside the skirt; it buttons
in the front, and is finished
with very narrow belt, either of
cloth or of leather. The balloon sleeves
sre sewed into the armhole with large
box pleat in the cehter and q series of
smaller ones at either side, instead of
being gathered, to relieve what would
otherwise be too great plainnesa. A
crayat bow OF black lace is worn, and
long black scarf is laid over the shoul-
ders and is knotted at the side with the
ends reaching almost to the bottom of
ths skirt.
Few women can afford such a house
toilet as that of the last picture for it ia
made OF expensive materials. But il ie
sometimes both interesting and instruc.
tive to consider unattainable elegance,
and there Ia no need OF sinking ones
soul to the level of covetousness.
1t is composed OF cream colored
figured silk and trimmed with green
and yellow chsngeable velvet, silk
ribbons and long white lace scarf.
The wide skirt has train and is finished
around the bottom with two ruffles
edged with velvet. The round waist is
cut in V in the front and is pc tly
plain. The scarf is arranged i w
pleats in the back and turned d in
the front. The ends OF the fic are
drawn through the belt and hang down
on the skirt. The short puffed sleeves
are finished with lace frill and the belt
is made of wide yellow s;lk ribbon drawn
through buckle in the front and trying
at the eide with bow and long ends.

30 difficult to do inexpensively. II you
have some old lace for the scarf, the rest
could be managed well enough.
Wells are now made full in the front
at the upper edge, then they just catch
the chin and are drawn up over tho
cheeks, catching the wide brim OF the
hat on either side right above the ears
or even in front OF them. Such an ar
rangemeht is piquant, it looks odd, any
how, and when you come to think of 1t,
1T is the only way to manage veil with
the enormous hat worn, especially
those whose brims are liable to start
straight up unexpectedly, precipice like.
The veil is absolutely necessary to keep
hair and skin looking well. A veil
should be worn even with the little
close hats, the brims of which are
turned straight back and punched in
scallops all around. and which offer no
edge to keep the veil from
crossing the face 30 close that
the eyelashes are caught. At
least select q very fine one. When it
comes to getting serviceable wide
veil, you will do we'll to take look at
the nets at the lace counters before you
try the wells themselves. You are more
likely to get a durable net and one of fine
width, and, incidentally, it will cost you
about half as much. Just plain black
silk net, like wash blond. only black,
and silk makes most becoming veil.
So does point d'eHprit, too. Wash blond
in white makes veil and scarf COM
bined and wears we'll, and some very
fine crepes and chifons shown for dress
goods make most becoming wells.

THE SHILLELAGH,
The Growing and M aking of the Famoug
Stick.


The shillelagh was not mere stick
picked up for few pence, or cut cssu-
ally out of the common hedge. Like
the Arab mare, II grew to maturity under
the fostering care of its owner.
The shillelagh, like the poet, is born,
not made. Like the poet, too, it ia a
choice plant, and its growth ia slow.
Among 10000 blackthorn shoots, per-
haps not more than one is destined to
become famous, but one OF the 10000
appears OF singular fitness. As soon as
discovered it is marked and dedicated
for future service. Everything that
might hinder its development is re-
moved and any off-shoot of the main
stem is skilfully cut off. With constant
care it grows thick and strong, upon a
bhlbous root that can be shaped into a
handle.
Hugh had for many years been watch
ing over the growth of blackthorn sap
ling. 1t had arrived at maturity about
the time the diabolical article appeared
in The Quarterly. The supreme mo.
ment OF his life came just when the
weapon on which he depended was
ready.
Returning from the manse, his whole
heart and soul set on avenging his niece,
his first act was to dig up the black
thorn 80 carefully that he might have
enough of the thick root to form a lethal
club. Having pruned it roughly, he
placed the butt end in warm ashes,
night after night, to season. Then
when it had become sapless and hard,
he cut it to shape, then s'put it to
pickle, as the saying goes. After q
sufficient time in the salt water, he
took it out and rubbed it with chamois
and train-oil for hours. Then he shot q
magpie, drained it's blood into cup,
and with it polished the blackthorn TIL
it became glossy black with mahog-
any tint.
The shillelagh was then beautiful,
tough, formidable weapon, and when
tipped with an iron ferrule was quite
ready for action. It became Hugh's
trusty compouion. No Sir Galahad
ever cherished his shield or trusted his
spear as Hugh Bronte cherished and
loved his shillelagh.
When the shillelagh was ready, other
preparations we're quickly completed.
Hugh made his will by the aid OF q
local school.msster, leaving all he DOS
sessed to his msligned niece, and then,
decked out in new suit of broadcloth,
in which he felt stiff and awkward, be
departed on his mission of vengeance.
