John oliver Hobbes asa ralker.

John Oliver Hobbss's fame as a writer
was sntedated by her reputation as q
couversationalist, says an exchange.
When she was Pearl Richards, aud a
bright young New England girl Of i,
she was taken to England BY her father,
and proved herself the ornament and
chief attraction Of his London house
Her repartee and witticisms were even
then the wonder and admiration Of the
serious and slowgolng EBglishnen, whom
she delighted TO entertain But, oddly
enough, It was not until after her mar
riage that Mrs. CrRigie began to crystal
izs into literary form her characteristic
satire and her original ideas.

About the IdeaI Blosaom

Vlolets, as long as they are in bloom
are the ideal fi)wers for street wear, but
the wearing OF flowers, especially in tho
street, should always convey 3 sense Of
spontaneity, as though they had been
gathered lovingly by the wgyside and
csrelesslY. fastened on ones dress
says the Queen Of Fashion. A
pretty fad, embodying this ides,
is that Of tucking the stem Of rose
Ia the fold OF ones card case. Nothing
either Is more charming (althoUgh par
hsps 1t convevs a soupcon OF msscnlln-
ity) than boutonniere in tho lapel OF q
tsilor-made gown. II must be remem
bsred however. that while the man
fastans his boutonniere on ths left lapsl,
the woman wears hers on the right.
