The magnate's good lady was covered with
shame TO think that she had been kissing
a male rufian twice day for five weeks.
Over in England, says the New York
Sun, where for six months in the year all
the smart folks are staying at each others
houses, the fatal penalty of obesity fol-
lows the luxurious style of living, and no
body can keep slender except by artificial
means. The women rise late, and per-
haps are driven to the race course or TO
luncheon with the shooters. Returning
home they do little needlework or write
letters or play some light game until tea
time, after which they read or talk until
dinner, where the ineXorable custom of
champagne, the temptations thrown in
their way by an excellent chef. the fatal
fruits ana liquors, all tend toward their
ruin. And after dinner it is quite on the
cards that belated game of poker may
lead to the further indiscretion of little
supper before retiring. OF course the re-
suit of all this feaSting is one which
arouseS research in the best methods of
avoiding the accumulation of flesh, and
the latest discovery is that an occasional
weeks diet on game, chicken, and fish,
with moderate caution the rest of the
time, will avert the disaster.
The menu of the day for this weeks
fast includes the early cup of tea
with saccharine instead Of sugar and
squeeze of lemon. Breakfast, fried sole.
Luncheon, roast pheasant. An hour
later, glass of claret. At tea time, only
tea with saccharine and lemon. Dinner,
boiled turbot, grilled chicken, or boiled
rabbit. That is literally all that is al
lowed, excepting salt A glass of claret
may be INDUCED in an hour or so after
dinner; and in the middle of the morning
and at bedtime glass Of boiling water,
\ until,
OF course, this diet is no use at all in
hardened cases; but the young trans
gressors, those only beginning to go down
the primrose path that leads to obesity,
will be grateful for the recipe If it is
faithfully followed once in while for
week.

season at Monte Carlo is as follows:
The colors used are bright tint of rus
set green faced cloth for the bodice and
upper skirt, while the lower skirt, revers

the back by fiat bow Of green velvet.

''Milliners' parties" are fashionable In
Boston now.
The hostess at whose house the party is
given buys hat for each guest and trim
ming sufficient to trim the whole, which
she mixes up indiscriminately. The hats
are of the cheapest kind that can be pro
cured and of ancient pattern, while the
trimming usually consists of cotton
violets, roses, and inexpensive ribbon
sometimes of the most gorgeous hues
Each gentleman who escorts lady is
given a hat to trim Immediately on his
arrival, which his fair partner is obliged
to wear to supper, and the effect of the
mllllner's art is often very amusing
Many of the gentlemen, however, dis
play considerable artistic taste The hats
are kept as souvenirs.
Signor Paolo Mantigazza, the eminent
Italian man of letters who has been giving
his opinions on the women of the different
countries he has visited, awards, says the
New York Sun, the palm for beauty TO
the Spanish women. He sums up their
character as very religious, very igno-
rant, very jealous, sensitive, idle and

Italians are praised for their modesty,
but condemned for their sentimentality,
ignorance, and tendency to falseness
But OF English women he writes in glow
ing words: Beauty itself Her hair is
like gold. She has heavenly eyes, a
peachliIe complexion, a delicately formed
nose and good teeth. She is reserved, a
little hypochondriacal, very active, and
generally slave to etiquette"
The gallant Italian critic should come
to America and see the perfect woman,
symmetrical in character and rich in com
mon sense, which is the active principle
of genius beautiful in face, with better
dignity than the British maiden's geo.

The only trouble the Italian man would
encounter is that she is so bewildering in
her individuality and frankness that she
cannot be classified under any stereotyped
formula, but is just herself and unlike
any other woman on the globe. The rea-
