A REMARKABLE COMPLAINT.
The Young Man CnsierStood IL After .
L~xicoxrapher Helped Him.

They were sitting i'll the parlor Of a
west side mouse, and the conversation
was dragging somewhat. They had ex-
hausted all the available social topics,
had taken u dip into literature by criti-
cisins some of the latest novels. had dis
cuSsed the summer resorts and the pros
poets for a good fall season, talked bit
about the theaters, and there did not
seem TO be much left
After an embarrassing pause Of five
minutes the girl said: I'VE have got
the funniest cook. She says the most
killing things"
"ies:' put in the young man inter
estedly.
Yes, she is q crank about sickness.
Every day she has some new sickness.
As a matter Of fact. she is great bux-
ON woman, strong and healthy as can
be, but she imagines she has one foot in
the grave"
Must keep her busy finding symp-
toms, said the young man
Indeed it does. and some Of her COM
plants are very laughable. Why. the
other day she came in and told me in
perfect seriousness that her bones were
ossifying.
The young man looked puzzled. He
| laughed a little, though, and said:
What a remarkable complaint! l don t
suppose it was true, do you:' The young
woman's face took ON a panied express
sion. Il said she said her bones were
! ossifying, she remarked
80 understood And ! asked if il
was true"
| The young woman passed her hand
YEARLY over her forehead She looked
at the young man pityingly and said:
Il am afraid you do not yet understand
the drift of my remark. said the cook
i were ossifying.
| The young man bit his mustache ~
fully understood what you said, Miss
Brown" he replied. Think, too, that
| gather the meaning of the remark.
Still l do not suppose that, except in
rare instances, such things do occur"
She put both hands to her brow this
time. smiled bit and abruptly changed
the conversation.
Half an hour later the young man
paused on his way to his room and hunt
ed up dictionary. He turned nervous
~ to the O's, found O's and ran his fin
ger down the column until he came to
''ossify." Then he threw his hands into
the air and shrieksd, Great Scott. and
didn't know that ossify means to turn
to bonev'
And he hasn't called on Miss Brown

Harper's Magazine, however, and Mr..
Johnston was asked to contribute to that
publication.

A few generations back our forefathefs
were wont TO intlict upon women certain
punishments, which sadly exhibited their
lack of gallantry and propriety.
Among the most curious OF these pun
ishments was that of the Drank, or the
scold's bride. This curious and cruel in

this new way Of making fullness with
out gathers, but is was also very ag-
gressive and ugly. One has only TO
look at the coat collar cut two years
ago to know how ugly it was. But to-
day the godet is refined down to tho
tenderest Of curves, and whether in
skirt or cloak it half loses itself in
ningIing gathers.
Later on there will be novelties. Ger
tain ones are talked of already, but nos
the very wfsest, not even the great
dressGnakers and the artists who de-
Sign these novelties can say in adj
vance which of all offered will succeed.
Last year there were efforts at novelty
that were plumbers. Many women r1i-
tned their gowns with overskirt basks,
and made themselves look just a. little
ridiculous. It is wisest to go slow.
The blame tor last years mistakes
IS laid to a. certain great dresSmaber
we'll known to Americans, who is fond
OF yolumillouS1 drapings. The issue
shows that no dresSrnaker is great
enough to change the ctyle OF dress by
his own will; it requires the willingness
OF society as well.
The dress being worn at Nice seems
to give evidence Of a. style at its eli
max. Its elements have increased in
both exaggeration and beauty till now
they seem complete. If this is SO it is
time for a collapse and d beginning.
