LOT carriage wear on almost any woman.
out wnen a woman walks she must re-
member that certain hight is required
before large hat can be assumed unless
one wishes TO look as if one were extin-
guished
Women are too prone to simply suit
thelr mats to their heads and not to their
entire figures. Sarah Bernhard and FL
len Terry and the tall women that Du
AIaurler draws can all wear huge hats
az any time, and yet off the stage Ellen
Terry appeared at an elborate supper one
night in mussy black Grape bonnet with
strlngy green feather in front of it,
very much to the horror of the other
women present
Certainly she may know what pictur-
esque dressing is on the stage but she
looks like the very dickens off it. And the
IRVINE Sarah, to whom the vogue given
10 large hats may be credited, was often
est seen when last here in a very dilapi-
dated looking poke, which had nothing
TO recommend it except that it wasn't
conspicuous. Speaking of things being
conspicuous, when will women learn that
unless they have feet like Cinderella they
ought not to wear white shoes They
are not pretty. they give the foot shape-
less look, and they invariably make II
appear two sizes larger than 1t is. A
black velvet slipper is smart but it also
must only be worn by the woman with a
slender foot The black satin and the
black patent leather slipper may be worn
by any one. She whose foot is short
should choose a slipper at least one size
TOO long, and, If she is wise, she will
elect that 1t shall be two, for then the
point may be stuffed with cotton and the
long, narrow effect counted aristocratic
will be hers. Tiny buckles of rhinestones
or steel are in better form than large
rosettes, unless, indeed. ones instep should
be very low and then the full rosette
Is chosen to increase, apparently, its
hight
Bye-thebye, even here, there are mis-
takes made in traps. Once in a while
one absolutely sees cockades worn by the
men on the box! This is great mis-
take, unless the owner of the trap be-
longs to the army or navy. and then, CT
course, they are proper. A few minutes
ago there passed us a victoria that was
correct in every respect but one: the men
had their storm coats folded and laid
under them. Why was this wrong? II
storm should come up, the lady of the
carriage would not be protected from it,
so why should her servant be cared for?
the only carriage on which it is good
form to display the coats of the men is
the large landau, which, in case of a
shower, can be so closed that the ladies
are perfectly safe. Then, too, every now
and then one sees, to her horror. a coach
man whose face is not smooth, and before
anything else 1t must be remembered that
men servants should suggest absolute
cleanliness. A smart hanson is ruined
by having its driver In livery. From a
London standpoint, this is wrong. The
driver of hanson should be dressed al
most exactly like his master; that is, dark
trousers, dark waistcoat, standing collar
and four-in-hand tied by himself, and a
coat that is between a cutaway and a
box, dark, of course his hat in the MORN
ing should be brown derby in the
afternoon an immaculate silk one, and
his gloves should be heavy tan kid ones,
closing with two large buttons. This is
the get up of the man who drives the
hanson of the Prince of Wales. A livery
is counted very bad form for the man
who is on but not in the hanson.
The fancy for perfumes is increasing,
and each pretty woman elects a special
one of her own. and has her belongings
so saturated with it that, if you pick up
her fan, or handkerchief, you know ex-
actly to whom it belongs. Violet, which
has been a favorite for such a long time,
has given way to that odd odor, neroli,
which requires to be greatly diluted be-
fore 1t can be used. To me, it always sug-
gests mummy, though am sure don't
know why; still it is very odd. Edelweiss
is delicate and many choose it, and jase-
mine is liked. Opoponax is strong, but it
has its admirers, though they don't fancy
being told that it is the extract of the
pigs TAIL which is the Frenchman's ex-
PLANTATION of it, Perfume is used in the
smart set by pouring quantities of ii on
those belongings that will permit it, and
so soaking it in. Personally, 1 have all
ways thought that a great quantity of
perfume was vulgar and 1 sympathze
with the darkey nanny who says, Lit
tie white ladies is so sweet anyway, or
they needs is that guy by a pretty tenn
per-
All the folks and fads of fashion are
here, and the women Of the smart set
are continually seeking for something
new in gowns, in fans, in parasols, in
shoes, in perfumes or in any of the thou
sand things that go to make up a toilette.
1t isn't a particularly great ambition,
this continual seeking after something to
add to their personal appearance but af-
ter all there might be a worse one.
Women onght to look pretty. 1t is their
duty in life-part of it.
Men ought to be brave, women onght to
be beautiful.
Men ought to be strong, women ought
to be tenders
Men ought to govern by the brain, wom-
en- ought to govern by the heart.
Men ought to earn money, women ought
to spend it.
Men ought to love women, and women
ought to submit to it.
Men ought to be charitable, women ought
to be sympathetic.
Each should be what the other isn't,
and so make perfection.
That is what they are reaching out for,
the best in everything. You have your
ambition, your neighbor has hers, and
then there is that one that belongs to
Bah.
ONE PHASE OF DREAMS.
