MEXICAN WOMEN.

The Mexican women arc smaller
than an average American woman, and
are usually very pretty. Their eyes
are their distinguishing feature. They
are extremely expressive. 1t is under.
stood ttat they can talk with them.
BY an almost imperceptible alteration
Of the muscles above and below their
orbs of vision the expression of their
:aces undergoes n complete change.
Their features are small and regular,
their skin opaque, so that n rush of
blood to the face does not change the
complexion-that is to say, they do
not blush, but whether or not this pc
culinrity may be attributed to quail
ties in the cuticle or to lack of arti-
fetal means adapted to cleanliness is
debatable. Their teeth, as n rule, are
almost perfect. In form and motion
nature, on her behalf, has added grace
to symmetry. but limited her perfec-
tions in this regard to but few years.
She natures at the age of thirteen to
fourteen, is seen at her best at from
sixteen to seventeen, at twenty she
begins to fade, and at twenty-three or
twenty-four she is old. The word old
means much to her. st. Louis Star

KIDNEY TROUBLE.

Ordinarily speaking 1t is not easy
TO get two pairs OF shoes for the
price OF one, not even If the swell

however, this transaction was accom-
plished by a member of the smart
set who goes to an equally smart shoe
maker in Broadway.
He selected divinely pointed pair
Of patent feathers and had the right
shoe tried on. 1t fitted perfectly and

hideous chignons which the English
women are wearing" "Him" solemnly
Gsseverates in Vogue. "They are
called Bath buns, and resemble what
was once known as rats. They are
placed on the back of the head with
an elastic, and the hair coiled round
and round them until most terrific
chignon is the result. The hair is
piled up and frizzed la Africaine in
front, and then hats, with lace crowns
coming way out in front, are placed
on top of this pile. A veil is worn
around the head in most fantastic
fashion. Some of these hats are pretty,
being covered with pink roses rs far as
the black-lGce brim. Women are also
wearing Hombourg hats, which do not
become them and make them look dis
agrecably masculine"

THE WIFE AND THE HOUSEWIFE.

Never before have women known
better how to discharge the duties OF
everyday life than now. Time is
found for many interests formerly
denied to the average wife and
mother, and her satisfactions and e.
periences are no longer limited with
10 the four walls of home. Neverthe-
less, while the home as we'll as the
principal home maker are generally
much the better for this state of
things, it sometimes happens that
there is another and less gratifying
side to the picture-which may be
compared to the fly in the amber and
the rift in the lutte.
Under such conditions the husband
is first to discover that something is
missing-he tancies he finds notes of
neglect in the sunshine of his hap
piness, and now and then he discovers
the fancies to be facts. Distracted ~
the wife often must be by the multi
plicity of household duties, the care
OF children aud the claims OF society,
too little time remains for those
gentle attentions, trifles in themselves,
but which all husbands are better for
getting, and which many of the best
confidently anticipate. The husband
is doubtless always in his wife's
thoughts; but not, in the homely
phrase, on her mind. He is an ever
present consciousness, as it were,
rather than an exacting duty, like the
reading club. the dinner, the laundry
and the children.
a well ordered house, clean, we'll
dressed and we'll beloved children and
proper attention to the outside
claims, cannot be had without hard
work. Idleness on the part of the
housewife is impossible in the aver
age family. In her own way she
works as hard as her husband, if not
harder. The average American hus.
band, Mt any rate, makes no complaint
because his wife is too good house
wife to remain sweetheart Yet he
sometimes misses tho sweetheart.
Married people should never out
grow the sentiment of the earlier days
of wedlock. The amenities, like the
illusions, ought sacredly to be pre-
served. Better a cold hearth than q
cold heart. Better neglect of the
superficial than Indifference to the
fundamental. New York Press.

TIE WOMEN OF usHANr.

Italian than Breton. The Golf is small
and square-shaped, with n wide flap

often introduced Mt the side of the

dren. But the strong singularitv of
the couture is the manner in which the
hair is worn. 1t hangs loose upon the
back of the neck to the length of Elk
or eight inches.
The first impression the women make
is that they are all recovering from n
fever and cropping. Their hair is
generally lank and wiry, like a horses
name, and very dark. 1t is rare to
see it really gray, even on the head of
q very old woman. The short and
thick locks are often without silver
thread, although the face of the
wearer may be rs furrowed as n block
of sen-worn granite. Baby girls, young
women, and old women have their
heads dressed in exactly the same way.
After her swaddling wraps, the child

her old profession with positive aver
