match nominate the stone and the pins
are handed out to you.
Fancy stick pins are a drug on the
market. They are pretty enough to chal-
lenge admiration on a well-dressed woman
and to make poorly dressed one conspicu-
Gus, even though they cost only a nickel
each. 1t is nice to think that even the
very poor may have some pretty things
but the cheapness of the excellent imita-
lions aggravates the woman who can wear
a twentydiamond buckle on her hat If she
likes, but who gets no more attention with
her $1,000 ornament than the little clerk
does with her fac simile that cost one
dollar.
These stick pins are so useful for hold
ing stocks, loops of ribbon and laces in
place that it is probable they will stay a
long time, perhaps forever. But then for
ever is a long time. A single stone is row
the favorite, and it may or may not match
the color of your gown or ribbon. The
amethyst is coming back into favor, and is
particularly beautiful when set about with
clear white stones or pearls. Topazes share
the popularity of the amethyst.

Garnitures for gowns are now most con-

waists made of them, and frequently
skirts are mass of jet.
The handy extra bodice Is to continue in
favor, but it will have a rival in the po-
lonaise, which a few women have never
given up. 1t Is said, too, that skirts for
the street are to be made little narrower,
little shorter and to have frills at the

IN A HOSPITAL WARD.

Than I'm Solitude.


Than I'm Solitude.
| From the New York World.
A Wall street broker who had spent ri4
weeks in big city hospital said: Il have
| been in the hospital three times, and This
visit was the shortest and least tedious of
any of them. The fact is, / found that I
could no. get private room, as / had in
previous years, and so / had to go into
common ward, although the idea was very
repugrant to me-"
IT don't see how a man accustomed to
the soft side of everything as you are,
could stand being in common hospital
ward for six weeks interrupted one Of his
listeners
porous and well fed that ii was difficult to
imagine him in a hospital ward and on the
same level as a charity patient, said: Il
can tell you, however, that l learned one
thing this trip that l never knew before,
that 1t is much easier to get well in
ward where you're one of two dozen pa
tents than in a private room, where you're
all alone and have nothing to distract your
thoughts from your own hurts. It's sur
prisng how soon you learn to take an in
terest in the people about you, even if they
are only hricklayers or italian laborers, or
hack drivers, and of course the majority of
the patients belong to what we call the
lower classes of society. And in getting
acquainted with these poor fellows and lis
forget yourself and your own broken leg or
cracked skull or whatever misfortune may
have befallen you.
For example, if you're in a private room
and happen to gee a man carried by your
door on a stretcher you're just crazy to
know who he is and how he got hurt, and
it won't do you any good to get your curl
osity excited, because neither nurse nor
doctor nor orderly will give you the slight
est Information on the subject-it seems to
he against the rules for them to tell any,
thing that they know about the patients.
But IL you're in ward there are always
two or three n-en to hobble out to the ele-
vator man and get the whole story from
him, and then come back and spread the
tidings from bed to bed. You've no idea
how much better You feel when you are
able to keep track of all that's going on
around you"
Il suppose you We're glad to get out, Just
the same" remarked one of the company.
'Of course / was. but there was plenty OF
men in my ward who would have been glad
enough to stay there all winter. You see,
it's pretty hard on a man to turn him cut
on the street at the very beginning of the
cold weather, with very little prospect of
getting any work before spring. There was
one fellow named Maginnis, whose bed was
next to mine, and he had been playing pos
sum, as every one of us knew, for six
weeks. Just as / was going away Magnnis
hobbled slowly down the room, with agony
| on his face and groans on his lips, and an
Irish bricklayer, who had had his leg am
putated the week before, called out to him,
Look out. Maginnis you're limping on the
catch you! and I'll De hanged If the fellow
wasn't so broken up that he changed his
limp from the right leg to the left before

STYLES IN hEADWEAR.
Features of the Principal Modes and
Some Variations.

Fortunately for the health CT the women
who wore them, the finicky little Dutch
bornet has gone. 1t was cute and pretty
once. but when thing is caricatured to
its death, one grows tired Of it even If 1t is
a pretty bonnet. The things that have
come to take the place of the Dutch freak
are not much larger, but at least they
cover the top OF the head, and that is a
concession that fashion does not often
make to health. There is no longer any,
thing that is the style" or that everybody
wears, if you except the Tam and the
sailor. Women have commenced to learn
the a, b, of attractive dressing and. be-
ginning at the head. have asserted their
rights and tastes. Bonnets and hats only
go" wnen they are becoming.

ting stray locks fly in every direction, be-
cause there is no combining vail, but the
pompadour will do away with that entirely
for it requires dainty treatment to make
1t go. To cover up the ears Is always a
crime, and not many will regret that the
ugly fashion is entirely obsolete.
In the matter of hair adornments you can
pay your money and take your choice. Jew
eled combs come all of six inches long, which
catch back the ends of the pompadour roll
and tuck in nicely around the knot in the
back. Then there are tiny little combs
scarcely an inch long encrusted with gems
or bright in cut silver, which are to hold
down the rebellious bangs in front of the
pompadour There are daggers and swords,
and combs, big and little, giant and dwarf,
made of most of the precious metals and i'm
itated in all the base ones. There are dainty
little coronets of colored gems, and half
crowns of pure white rhnestones to set
just back of the pompadour, and there are
aigrettes and feathers for more formal even
ing wear.

take. Many OF these mats have crushed
crowns of satin, silk or velvet, generally of
a vivid contrast to the hat itself, while
the feathers will be yet another color. The
everlasting sailor is with us in a bunty-
looking felt that has wings sticking out at
the sides from a rosette or bow of plaid
ribbon. Bright ribbons are very much used
for hats, mixed in with feathers and lace
both black and white.
Jeweled laces are among the novelties, and
rhines tone and jet ornaments are real works
of art. Everything that glitters and
sparkles is acceptable Feathers were never
more numerous. Wings and birds divide the
honors, for feathers in this climate are a
deluson and a snare, but there, are women
who will insist upon wearing them, though
they have to be curled twice day
One of the newest shapes is of braided
felt and chenille, introducing green and
brown. The brim Is dropping, and the
crown is of green chiffon. The only decora-
ton is amethyst green ribbon is stiff set
bows at the sides.

Some of the Latest Forms as Dictated

There Is a radical departure in the man
ner OF dressing the hair" said a hairdresser
the other day. THE mania for Madonna
faced girls is now dead as last years leaves,
and Madame Pompadour has the stage. If
you want to be very distingue and smart
you must brush your hair straight back
from the face and let it form a soft puff,
held back with fancy pins and stick combs.
1t does not in the least matter whether
your face is the right shape or not or
whether you have high forehead that will
make you look like peeled onions with your
hair that way it is the co. and if you would

Speaking of house gowns, could anything
Eandsomer than the design shown be sug-
ges ted, specially if comfort is the idea, as
well as style? 1t Is of softest liberty silk
in a bright canary color, with a front Of
Persian silk, and is trimmed with bands of
Persian embroidery. The balloon sleeves
are vary full, and the back is a plain prin-
cess shape with full plats. The design
may be copied in soft cashmere or serge
and lace covered ribbon at a cost of about
six dollars, ard be quite as effective
1t Is said that the bell skirt in adapta-
ton will live for some time yet. The prin-
cipal 1uliness is all placed at the back, and
In front fullness is simulated by inset
plaitings of silk of lace or some soft ma
terial. To insure the perfect hang of this
kind OF skirt 1t is necessary to line it for
almost half Its depth with horsehair ma
terial to give 1t the proper swing and stiff
ness.
The new sleeves have a great deal of full
ness, but 1t begins below the shoulder near

down.

What the Woman Signs For.
When the coveted prize was won 1t had no
measure in her sight but the lover she had
lost. Such an honor" she said, docs not
increase a woman's value in mems eyes. A
singer or an actress covered with laurels
may ind her way to a mans heart in spite
of her celebrity. Oh, beautiful woman is
admired for her superior beauty! But the
woman who studies seriously until her eyes
are red and her brow wrinkled in order to
win an academic prize-what is there in
that to catch a mans fancy?"
What, indeed?
But why should she care for a mans
fancy?" you say.
1 don't know, I am sure. Still, she does
care, you see. Yes; when in rare instances,
as that of Madam Kovalevsky, the New Wo-
man has conquered the world, like Alex
ander of old she weeps, not, however, for
more worlds to conquer, but for a lover to
conquer her.

anything like astral projection or any East
