IL is like the man who was acquainted
with your mother when she was Il
young girl. He doesn't hesitate to tell
family secrets before q room full Of
people, asks you questions about your
private affairs, il you have made good
marriage, and what in the world have
you had such a large family of children
for, and then, to cap the climax, gives
you a mouthy sort Of kiss, all with the
same weak claim. What you can't I'M
derstand is why, in early life, your
mother didn't cut him; or why, If he
continued the acquaintance, your father
didn't shoot him. Usually, though he
seems to have that friendship with your
mother when, as he describes it, she was
Just so high" and he measures about u
yard from the floor, so, OF course, she
couldn't know what heritage of dis
comfort she was preparing for you.
THE KIND or BOOK SHE WANTED.
What funny things one hears in shops.
The other day | was in one of those
places where they cheat the publishers
and the authors by selling books under
price, and yet where we all 20 TO get
books for few pennies less. A woman
picked up q copy of the "Heavenly
Twins" and said to the girl behind the
counter; as this good book? ?" The
answer came at has had a very large
circulation" "Well," she said, leaning
across the counter contidentially, "the
kind of book | like is one where the
heroine dresses real stylish, they tell
everything they have to eat, and hero
and she love each other passionately
until something happens, and then the
detective comes in; but in the end the
villain is foiled, and she gets married in
satin and point lace" The saleswoman
looked nervous, and said she was afraid
it wasn't that kind of book. l tell
this in case any one wishes to write q
popular novel, SO that they know the
requirements.
HOW LOVELY WOMAN WILL KEEP WARM.
By-the-by, am glad to see that those
horrid, short little capes and bobbed off
jackets are going out of fashion, and
that lovely woman has to keep the chill
winter off her In long picturesque coats
of velvet or plush. There is something
elegant about these cloaks. They give an
air of dignity, and they look as if they
really did keep people warm. The hand
soonest one l have seen was of seal
brown pluSh-real English plush, with
its full, thick nap and its ability to
throw aside rain drops, The belt and the
collar were of flashing jet, and the
sleeves had jet and sable upon them
while the muff and bonnet were Of
plush trimmed with sable tails and jet
The woman who wore that getup knew
she was well dressed, and she knew i
because mankind approved of it. How
me did turn up their noses at the shout
der capes TO them they meant nothing
and really the great dressmakers, thost
who are artists as well as modistes, die
scorn them and only made them undei
compulsion. But in getting such cloak
| beware of the poor plush or the pool
velvet. Cotton velvet and plush tina
shows its background may do for stag,
queens, but not for gentlewomen. There
you are tired Of hearing about the fash
| ions.
