Feminine Toilets.

What singular ideas ON the subject OF
feminine toilets men did once have, to be
sure, and how much they usually know
about the matter nowadays! This Is
amusingly noticeable In current literature.
Such blundcrs were once not uncommon
as that made In Austin Elliot" by Henry
Kingsley, when no made his modest. quiet
" dressed little heroine wear "a big dia'
mond clasp" to her dcmurc, Quaker gray
cloak, in which she was wont to creep of
to weekday church services. Obviously
Mr. Kingsley had no notion that If 0
woman possessed n "big diamond clasp
she would not wear It in the street as we'll
as anywhere else. This ignorance Is rath'
or n relief to the man millinery Of present
day novels. Once in awhile one does come,
to be sure. to a mistake like Mr. Howclls
in April Hopes, where he made bride
in veil and satin drive directly from the
church to the train of cars. But these slips
of the masculine pen arc rare indeed any
more Nov York Times.

broad back and looks admiringly at the

Two hundred years of South Africa have
little altered the old Batavian type. The
eyes are blue, but of small brilliancy, the

and the young figure is already stiff,
waistless and heavy. Yet in this faroff

Three hundred and forty-three tickets
were sold to the Brockton Kennebec game
yesterday, and the attendance was very
good. Many people who had bought
tickets came simply because they had
bought them, and not because of their
love for the game or of their interest In
the team. The crowd would have been
much smaller had not this sale of tickets
taken place three or four days previous to
the game. 1t is TOO bad that there is not
more base ball spirit in this city, for it
does one good to seea good base ball game,
