San Francisco's Bellies,

The proper fad now for the young
woman who is anybody at all is to part
her name in the middle, like her broth
er's bangs, SO to speak This is distinct
~ de rigueur. The girl you once called
Fannie Lewis, who at school wrote her
name Fannie B. Lewis and was later on
known as Miss Frances Lewis is now
Miss F. Brown Lewis. Pretty little
Nellie Dawson, whom you had scarcely
become used to reading about in the So
ciety columns as Miss Helen Dawson,
has become metamorphosed into Miss
81. Brinckerhoff Dawson. Where did she
get that high sounding middle name:
Was her mother Brinckerhoff? Not at
all. Indeed one shrewdly suspects that
Miss Nellie christened herself from one
Of her favorite novels. Will the fad last?
Probably through the summer. And
what is the girl to do who has no part
ing to her name? The general advice
is to invent one. The SWEETEST Of all,
they say, is the girl who when tot at
school used to weep bitterly over her
three front names. 80 Now Daisy

A Single Rose In Her Hair.

The latest style Of couture which finds
favor in Paris is long and narrow. The
hair may be arranged in coil or a knot,
as fancy dictates, taking care to adjust
it at a becoming point on the head, but
it must be elongated by an extra twist
or two little curls at the back, which
may be added for evening dress. The
present mode of waving the hair all
over the head still holds its popularity,
but the front parting, which has been
such a struggle to obtain, is to disap-
pear entirely. The front hair is tressed
lightly back, pulled down in careless
waves on the forehead and arranged
loosely at the side so it will droop slight
ly over the ears in seemingly disorder
ly way, which is perfectly tidy and very
becoming to some faces.
Every woman who wishes to look
her very best must study the outline Of
her face and shape Of her head in order
to arrange her hair becomingly and
skllfully modify the prevailing style
to display her good points and soften the
defective ones.
There its an evident inclination to
revive the old time fashion Of elaborate
headdresses, and feathers, flowers, hum
ming birds and filigree gold and silver
ornaments are worn. Several ostrich
feathers are arranged well back on the
head to droop little at each side, with
an Alsatian effect, and have high
standing aigret in the center. Butter
flies are the most popular designs just
at the moment The wings are of fill
gree gold, and the bodies are enameled Or
jeweled with colored stones, and three
Of these dainty winged things form one
ornament. One is a gauzy jetted affair,
and the wings rise from the jetted body
of bird. Artificial flowers combined
with osprey feathers form another fash
ionable headdress. New York Sun.

A Princess and a Nun.

A rumor that Princess Clementine,
the youngest daughter Of the king and
queen Of the Belgians, contemplates
taking the veil appears to be fully con.
firmed. Her decision is said to have
been arrived at three years ago, when
her cousin, Prince Baldwin of Flanders,
to whom she was engaged, died SO sud-
denly Of fever. She kept her resolve Sc
cret until she came Of age last year, but
she has never swerved from it, nor can
she be moved to reconsider a determi-
nation which will consign to convent
one Of the most charming, accomplish
ed and wealthy princesses in Europe
The utmost concession that she was
induced to make was the postponement
Of her novitiate until after the we'd
ding Of Princess Josephine, Antwerp

A shrewd Scheme.

"The scheme of the women suffragists
this year is now looked upon as very
shrewd one," said a woman who is
against suffrage. "For many years lit
tie band of women in this city, who
have persistently and faithfully agitated
the subject of the right of women to
vote, found their closest adherents
among the working women and those
whose higher education and liberal read
ing led them naturally to desire fuller
and freer powers. Hence the band OF
woman suffragists was we'll equipped
with brains and industry and formed q,
picturesque element of society. The pa
pers did not pay much attention to it,
the meetings We're not crowded, and the
world at large did not show an acute in
terest in their doings
But early last fall the old leaders
selected list of the most influential
and fashionable women in New York
and went about the work of conversion
with firmness and industry. Nothing
checked them; nothing put them off.
The only qualification they looked for
in candidate at that time was social
position.
'For time their efforts were fruit
less, but finally one prominent woman
of fashion after another became inter-
ested in the movement. Sherry's fash
ionable quarters were secured, and the
first half dozen meetings were made SO
exclusive that innumerable heartburn
ings and jealousies arose. But the man
ayers did not lose sight of the fact that
the women who had failed through in
ferior social position to secure an en-
trance in their counsels on one occasion
would be all the more anxious to come
a second time.
"The result of this artful and original
style of campaigning was that the wom-
an suffragists' movement was made dis
tinctly fashionable in this city for the
first time in its history Women follow
the fashions without any discussion;
hence the enormous following of the
woman suffragists at the present time. "

English Girls For Canada.

Miss Rye, benevolent lady who for
years past has supplied Canada with
regular consignments of young waits
and strays, who, we are given to under
stand here, grow up into mothers OF
great and good citizens, and thus help
maintain the glories Of the Dominion,
has been compelled to advertise for ma
terial. The supply which the streets and
cutters of London and other cities have
heretofore yielded in rank abundance
has apparently failed at last, though
this is hard to understand Possibly
Miss Rye has grown fastidious, or may.
be the Canadian authorities have be.
come less complacent. At any rate,
only Protestant girls will in future be
allowed to assist in making Canada,
and they must be between the ages Of
10 and 16, and healthy. But provided
the young emigrants' religious doctrines
be orthodox and their bodies sound Miss
Rye is not overparticular. The only
other condition set forth in the adver.
tisement is that the girls shall be "fair.
" intelligent. London Letter.

A Magnify.

These funny little tumblers seldom
fail to amuse. To make one, procure a
glass marble little larger than wal
nut. Take white linen cuff and cut
a piece of two inches wide and five long.
On this paint or draw a face. Bend
it round and sew the two ends together.
In one end sew with double linen thread
piece of black ladies' cloth or any
heavy cloth by overhanding the edges to-
gether. Put the marble in, and over the
other end sew securely a little plush cir
Gle, fulling it on, for cap. Tie piece
of baby ribbon about it, with smart
bow at the back. From the same ma
terial as you have in the other end cut
two pieces an inch wide and five long,
and overland the two long sides to-
gether. Cut out from an old kid glove
two feet and sew to the bottom Of each
side and sew the legs thus made to the
middle of the cloth end of the cuff.
From white wooden material cut piece
for vest and sew around the lower
part of the cuff. Make swallowtail
coat from yellow felt and sew over he
vest, with pearl buttons, the size that
comes on gloves, down the front and
two at the back. From the same mate
rial as the coat overland long piece
for the arms as you did for the legs and
cut out hands from the gloves, or these
arms may be made in one piece and
fastened to the body across the back.
The Magnify" is finished.
To make him perform, with his queer
tumbling and funny little kicks, place
the ironing board with one end on the
arm Of a rocking chair, so that it does
not slant too much and set Mr. Ma
ginty" at the top. He will at once tum-
BILE head over heels to the bottom and
roll and kick for you when he reaches
it Indianapolis Housekeeper.

A Scientific Princess.

One Of the most noted travellers in
Germany is Princess Therese, the only
daughter Of the Bavarian regent. She is
a woman of scientific attachments and
owes her election to the Bavarian Acad-
envy Of Science to the books which she
has published concerning her journeys
A few weeks ago the princess consented
to exhibit in the old court house of Mu-
mich the valuable collections which she
has made in her travels. They have nat
urally attracted widespread attention.

Awoman's column is edited by Hell
en- Cody Wetmore in the Duluth
Press. In recent issue it makes the
following point: If men believe what
they say, that women do not want to
vote, P" why bar the privilege against
them? We do not fence the cornfelds
because we think the cattle will not eat
the corn. but because we know they
will.
