III seems as II a compromise might be ar
ranged between a ball-cut bodice and the
hlgh, stiff collar now in vogue. A young
glrl's throat is generally too pretty to
conceal under stiff ''wiggin" and folds of
thick satin. Thin materials. such as
crepe-lisse or mOusseline de sole. are far
prettler and more becoming than silks or
satlns. pretty girl of society who was
married the other day ventured to be
original, and became charming. She
wore moire antique skirt cut short,
without the time-houored train, and
most lovely soft bodice of cream
white mousSeline de sole. IL was made
nigh IN the neck, but with short, full,
pun sleeves, leaving the beautiful arms
and hands bare, for she was without
gloves. A few bows of point d'Alencon
lace tastefully disposed on the gown
We're the only trimmings, while a tulle
ell,edged with the same lace, was
twisted most artistically around the knot
OF bright chestnut hair, giving the effect
or the smallest capotes in front, where it
was held in place with the tiny springs of
orange blossoms
Not in the least like a bride, " said
seyere-looklng matrOn.
No. said her companion, a much
sought-after bachelor. No, - he repeated
thoughtfully, mot bit like the conven-
tlonal bride, [ admit; only like the per

she had twin sister"
At the far end of Naples lies the little
church Of Santa Maria Annuziata, which,
once a year, on the day of Our Lady
wakes up into brief life and excitement
In silent row before high altar, kneel
thirty girls, all in black garments, with
folded hands, and eyes fixed on the pic
uure of the Madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh Dor
ing founding asylum, and once a year
those who have reached the age Of Is are
brought here to the church, and may be
chosen in marriage by any honest man
whose papers are in order and whose
! character is good. At the door leading
to the sacrisity leans a gray-haired
priest, the head of the asylum. BY and
| by young man makes his way from
the back of the church and hands him a
| packet of papers. These the priest reads
carefully, and, being satisfied. he gives
them back, and leads the candidate to-
ward the row of girls.
Their eyes are fixed more steadfastly
| than ever on the altar, their hands are
clasped tighter together, their faces turn
a shade pGler, their hearts beat quicker
as the young man walks slowly along the
row. At last he stops his choice is made
He stretches out his hand with a little
smile.
The girl rises, casts a long look half
thanks, half entreaty, at the picture of
the Madonna, put her hands into that of
the stranger, and together they disap-
pear into the sacristy. The ice being
| broken, other suitors come toward.
If were a girl, says a writer in the
Ladies Home Journal, l would take care
of my health by living outdoors as much
as possible and taking long walks in the
sunshine. English girls understand how
! necessary this is for the good compilations
and cheerful spirits. Wear simple cloth
ing that you may climb mountains and
breathe freely.

to college by all means, if it be possible.

tent soon shows itself in the face. If you
are cramped for money, be thankful that

I would say kind things of others, es-
pecially of the girls. A girl who makes
unkind remarks about other girls would
better be avoided by young men. She
will not make an agreea BILE companion for
life.
I would learn to be self-supporting.
Especially in this country. where fortunes
change, it is wise for girl to be able to
take care of herself. Helpless women are
not a comfort to others, and usually are
not to themselves.

Once upon time, says a writer in the
St. Louis Republic, great many years
ago, in fact, three bright sayings gained
universal currency as the three wittiest
sayings of Boston" Such was their pun
gent viii, or the soundness of the kernel
of truth they embodied, that from that
day to this they do duty with every one
who would rather quote sage's words
than their own witlesS ones. I believe
Emerson gets the credit of the one that
came to me the other day, when | was
sitting in the parlor of a seaside hotel
idly watching the women who were as the
sands of the sea for multitude, while
made mental comments, more or less ma
liciOuS upon them, their toilets, their
saying? One of that notable threee Well,
it was this; The consciousness of being
well dressed gives a woman a moral sup
port that neither religion nor philosophy
can beStow."
1t is the sound kernel of absolute verify
hidden in this saying which has given it
such vitality that 1T has been quoted for
more than half a century without once
being contradicted. II distinctly asserts
that dress has its moral effect, which no
half-sensible person will deny. The OBJ
verse of the picture is equally true, and
the brainiest and best of women will look
like criminals of the deepest dye on find
ing herself in well-dressed crowd with
a shapeless hat on her head a placket
that won't stay closed, or an unpremedi-
tated rip at the elbow.
A woman physician, says the New
York Times, has been saying in print
that few persons know how to cook water
The secret she says, is in putting
good, fresh water into neat kettle, al
ready quite warm, and setting the water
to boiling quickly, and then taking it OFF
to use in tea, coffee. or other drinks, be-
fore it is boiled To let it steam, simmer
and evaporate until the GOO, water is all
in the atmosphere, and the me and iron
and dregs left in the kettle7bah that is
what makes a good many people sick, and
is worse than no water at all.
A critical taste, goes on this authority
