II hear you have been stopping at my

old lady to a young man who had just re-
turned from Newport.
Il beg pardon" answered the youth,
rather bewildered.
"Oh. I DO not consider 1t as a private
house." went on Nine. Mere, where the
guests make their own engagements, pay
their own carriage bills and subscrip

of young men who were stopping with

began to make excuses. All were engaged
at various houses, except one.
All, Mr.. B., exclaimed fair madame

Won't you come and make me visit be-

Do women really love champagne OF do

girl OF the restaurant and roof garden,

She caresses the frosty bottle with her

pour the last glass with a sigh.
yet as matter Of fact, every man
knows that few women know anything
| apout wine. Those women who do have
but the most elementary knowledge. They
| can't tell one brand from another, nor
| even the difference between imported and
| domestic champagne, the bottle out of
| sight. When 1t comes to still wines
wherein the difference of quality is still
| more marked, they are wholly at sea.
The champagne girl, of such dainty
mould, can't tell 20-year-old Burgundy
| from 4-year-old claret. It is the price
| that pleases her palate, for in the price
is the subtle flattery of her entertainer
! ana her temporary superiority over her
| sisterhood. 1t is true, she has plenty of
! company in her ignorance among the
| other sex. Only those who drink a great
deal Of wine know much about it, and the
| connoisseurs even among these are not
! plentiful. With women it is simply show
for the most part. Down in their inmost
souls there is usually powerful craving
for beer.
San Francisco women Of the rotuAd or

form OF their youth, are all on the dui
vive over new anti-fat remedy which, in
one instance at least, has been a crafty

around her to learn the secret. Two
years ago, says the San Francisco Chron-
! lcle Miss Lewis was unquestienably fat
weighing 200 pounds, and in order to
take the leading part of slender young
maiden in a play there was only one thing
for her to do. The flesh must go. And
now, owing to the shrinking properties
of SKINNED milk and chewing gum diet
| she is marvel of grace and slender pro-
portions. By rig!dly following this diet
she has taken off forty pounds of flesh
and has every reason to believe that she
can take off ten more within another
| month. Two quarts Of milk taken daily
in small quantities, at short intervals of
an hour or so, is her rule and after each
drink she chews gum, taking a fresh
piece every time. She abstains entirely
from any other food or drink, and de-
clares that the departing layers Of flesh
leave no wrinkles behind. The cream
which rises on the milk is used as a face
lotion, with charming results. Miss Lew
is is showered with letters and beseiged
with calls from neshy women who are
willing to sacrifice all their worldly pos
sessions for form like hers.
Some of my dear sisters. I see" said
a young woman Of observation to a repor-
ter Of the New York Sun, have started
in one Of their perennial kicks against the
decline in good manners, among men.
Like the generality OF US, they realize a
condition, but go all to pieces when il
comes to a definition. Manners are not
what they used to be but they have not de-
clined; they have only changed. Men
don't walk for miles with their girls, hold
ing their hats under their arms and writ
ing qustrians on their shirt cuffs; then
catarrh is deal more prevalent now
than it used TO be. You fellows don't
wear lovely white wigs the beautiful
parting in your hair, that you have SC
carefully worked out with a rat-tail file
would be all spoiled; and you don't know
the difference between a madrigal and a
trllogy. But all the same, write 1t down

But, say the kickers, men slap girls
on the back smoke in their faces, and
call them old fellows nowadays. That's
right, SO they do; while in that tomfoo
time, Ine GOOD Ola days, Lney lay at theil
feet and blew funny little love songs
without words into flutes, and carried
their enslavers pattens, and sent then
rosy wreaths with sentimental verses
done up in blue ribbons. Well, and what
