said what pity it was that when man

the head grew too large for the hat.
HATS AND HATS.
Another girl was talking about buy
ing hat, and she said she believed that
man could buy woman's hat better
than a woman could, flor man looked
at a woman from head to foot. and de-
cidcd whether she appeared eItin-
guished under a large one or looked
trivial under too small one, whereas
the woman had an inclination just to
look at her head and shoulders and she
did not know what the general effect
was. Just now the picture hat is very

days, we all wanted to know about
them. She said she found it in an old
book, and this was the story.
Is THIS TRUE?
"When Hagar went away, Abraham's
wife was 50 furious with her that she
vowed the strongest of VOWS that ii ever
she returned she would cause her to be
mutilated and destroy her beauty SO
that Abraham would no longer look at
her with delighted eyes. However, as
the days went by, her anger cooled
down, and when Hagar returned she
begged of Sarah not to hurt her, Or in
jure her beauty in any way. Sarah,
however, had sworn sware, and she
had to keep her word, so she took the

feminine?"
BEAUTY IN DETAIL.
Another girl said she found another
thing in an old book. That was the 80
points necessary to beautiful woman.
She must have three things white-the
skin, the teeth and the hands. Three
black-the eyes, the eyebrows and the
eyelashes. Three red-the lips, the
cheeks and the nails. Three long-the
body, the hair and the hands. Three
short--the teeth, the ears and the feet.
Three broad-the chest, the brow and
the space between the eyebrows. Three
narrow--the mouth, the waist and the
instep. Three large--the arms, the hips
and the legs. Three tine-the fingers
the hair and the lips. Three small-the
bust, the nose and the head.
After this, we all retired to our rooms,
to see if we possessed the thirty good
! points. By-the-by, the girl who is
going to be married, and she is here
most prominent, is, as far as chains are
concerned, very much engaged. She
wears on her finger beautiful pink
pearl set about with diamonds. Around
her white throat Is n very thin gold
chain, little thicker than a strand of
silk, and pendent from this is heart of
diamonds. OF course, this opens, and
inside is the usual photograph of the
| favored man. On her wrist is chain
bracelet, set with small rubies, and en-.
