Two novelties, enc of each kind, one really

The Avenue of the Champs Elysees Is
the gay highway to the Paris park, all

Out in the park itself the bcyclists are in
a paradise, a paradise of coquetry and
ease. There are sylvan cafes. restaurants
by the waterside, road houses out beyond
Saint-Cloud. and then long stretches of
real country. the smooth country roads, as
level as board. along which in the even

ONE KIND OF MODELS.
But Thfer business is, However, to
Display Clothes.

But Thier business is, However, to
Display Clothes.
From the New York Tribune.
There are hundreds of young women in
New York who make their living as models.
One authority says that there are more
than a thousand, which estimate leads to
the conclusion that good looks are not
scarce in the island Of Manhattan, for
these young women owe success entirely
to their fine physique. The models here
alluded to are not those who sit to artists
and whose charms are transferred to can
vas but these who try on suits, silk waists,
jackets, cloaks and capes for the benefit Of
the customers in the stores and dressmak-
ing establishments.
, The more exclusive and expensive of the
uptown women's tallors all employ models
to display their gowns. The best firms in
the shopping districts have them. but the
great majority of models find occupation in
the big wholesale houses in middle and
lower Broadway, d number of firms in that
vicinity employing many as a dozen the
whole year round. The average downtown
nc del is paid from Sl2 to SIS week, but
an unusually pleasing subject may COM
mand as hisl as SIS. Those in the big re-
tail establishments who coIAbine the office
of model with that of saleswoman get
$50.
The available model must measure thirty
six inches about the bust and twenty-three
or twenty-four around the waist, her height
being IN proportion, the trying on of gowns
and cloaks for women built on a less lib-
eral plan being intrusted to the misses
models, that is, to uniformed girls fourteen
or fifteen years old.

Women ms Whist Players.
From the New York Times.

Every talent, or even every requirement,
nowadays seems TO fird its possibility for
profit Some women who are good card
players are earning their summer board
according to an exchange. teaching whist
and other games of cards at the large
hotels at the seaside and inland resorts
Many women have never learned whist in
particular; they are not embroiderers. BIZ
cyclists, or readers, and gratefully hail
this relief from the monotony of summer
boarding life. Their half grown daughters,
too, want to be amused, and these per-
sons make up the card classes. Apropos
of whist, by the way. that queen of Ameri-
can whist players, Miss Wheelock. whose
high title was won from the great Caven-
dish himself. refutes the assertion that
women cannot become good whist play
ers as men. Miss Wheelock has had many
classes in the game in many places, and it
is her experience that women are more
conscientious students of the game, and
eventually become more scientific players
than their brothers of the other sex.

A GRACEFUL CARRIAGE.
The First Requisite is to Acquire q
Firm, Elastic Step.

The First Requisite is to Acquire
Firm, Elastic Step.
From the Philadelphia Press.
To put the foot down prettily is to walk
gracefully to seem to have pretty foot
whether it is really pretty or not. to secure
a stylish carriage, to make the skirts hang
we'll and the waist seem long. towel, to
put the foot down well is to secure many
cf the blessings of life. Don't believe it
when you are told to put the toe down
first The foot should be so lightly poised
on the ankle that when the lift from the
hip is made in taking a step the foot nat
urally swings, toe down, SO that the for
ward part of the foot touches the ground
first That is very different in effect from
stiffly pointing the toe down and trying to
walk that way.
Put the feet down so that the heels
would keep pretty closely on an imaginary
chalk line, the toes always falling little
outside Of the line. The full weight OF the
body should be on the foot that is on the
ground, and one ought to be able to bal
ance prettily at any moment on the single
foot that is supposed to be carrying the
walkers weight. If this can be lone, 1t is
proof that the body is well poised and well
carried.
1t is, of course, nice to have "springy'
step The girls in the book usually have
'em, and the nice young hero always has
that sort. But no matter how springy the
step is, if the foot is put down properly the
head will be carried along a perfectly level
line, and not go bobbing up and down like
a slip in a high sea. If the heels follow
a line and the toes fall outside the line
little. then the body will advance without
any side-swinging of the shoulders. This
turning of the body first to the right and
then to the left is general fault of the
walking of American women, and If the
foot is put down properly this awkward
ness will be avoided.
The woman who wears a house gown Of
correct length, that gracefully hangs about
the feet and touches the floor all around,
should hardly lift her sole from the floor
when she walks. The heel rises little.
but the toe pushes prettily forward, SHOW
ing the hem Of the dress out of the way
as the step is taken. To put the foot down
well is to walk well. to stand well, to be
we'll. and, besides, it has a moral side, for
the girl who has the strength of mind to
say mo in the right place is the girl who
can put Ter foot down." isn't she? If
woman could only be guaranteed that foot
ing her bills would be included she would
be converted to the proper way Of walk
ing at once, but that cannot be done, and
graceful walkers are very scarce.

Good Luck in Hatrf.ncny Follows the
Girl Who Makes Them.
From the Philadelphia Times.
At all times garters have been considered
very important details of woman's dress,
and always associated in some manner
with matrimony. Down through half a
dozen centuries comes to us the custom
practiced, today of having the carriers as a
finishing touch to a brides toilet The
particular girl friend who is permitted to
slip them into place Is conceded to stand
the best possible chance of wedding happily
before twelve months are out.
A prospect of near and blissful matri-
mony is also shared by the friend who Sc
cures the privilege of making a brides
garters, the proper pattern for which is
now circle of white silk elastic covered
with embroidered white satin and clasped
by a small gold buckle enameled in white
bow knots. The garters of Marie Antoin-
cite were pretty pink silk bands elaborate
ly embroidered on the upper half in tiny
jewels and gold thread. In an American
family are preserved the bridal garters of
titled English ancestress. These are of
white silk, nearly two inches broad, and
decorated with round buttons made of seed
pearls from which suspend pearl cords and
tassels two inches long.

The building being erected just below
Linnton by the Western Packing Company
for horse abattoir Is rapidly approaching
completion. The foundations for the en-
gines and boilers are all in, and the ma
chinery is on the ground, and should be in
place in few days. The building and
plant are on an extensive scale, and will
probably be ready for operation about July
4, as was originally intended. The first
Shrek of the whistle will sound the death
knell of 5000 cayuses now roaming the
plains Of eastern Oregon and. eating good
grass, which might better be turned into
beef and mutton. Mr.. Switzler. who raised
these horses, as he has many thousands be-
fore them, will now retire from the bust
ness, and has expressed his intention of
buying bicycle. and, If he likes it, will
perhaps start a bicycle factory. He says
that the bicycles have driven the horse to
the slaughter house; but when something
newer has run out the bicycle it cannot be
utilized for canning, as the horse now is.
