Powder blue is the latest shade OF blr1
gray to be designated.
Skirts are now often made without lin
ing, the stiff skirt being worn beneath and
suspended from the shoulders by straps or
the skeleton waist form.
A French dress Of ecru linen batiste l.
made with an openwurk yoke Of linen

and collar are Of gay red plaid ribbon
A novelty seen in silk waists has the
sleeve set in from the neck in rather large
plaits, which is especially pretty for slen-
der figures. as it gives width across the
bust.
For cool days at the seaside and LA the
mountains pretty bodices Of challie and
fine French flannel for young girls and
misses are provided to replace starched
shirt waists.
The prettiest new petticoats are made of
glace silk, with large hounces of muslin
trimmed with Lace these flounces being
so made that they can be detached to visit

Tailor made suits Of white and pearl
gray satin faced alpaca and pique are in
eluded in very smart wardrohes- They are
made with short natty Jackets and full
skirts fitting tightly around the hips.
White gloves are worn with the smart

stitched with black are more dressy and
stylish than the chamois which are rele-
gated almost entirely to travelling and

Travelling gowns Of mohair are being
made with the fullness of the skirt car

woman and the free and breezy manner
Vt the western girl, and, like the latter,
it must be confessed that she is a trifle
prone to using slang. She is usually
dark eyed, dark haired and olive skinned
young creature Of rather large mold.
She dresses ID the height Of fashion,
and though some Of her selections in
the way of costume are rather startling
they are always becoming. She is gen
erous and fond of masculine attention,
which it is freely acknowledged is hers to
command. She resembles the Baltimore
girl in that she suffers from moods,
sometimes as gay as lark, sometimes
mournful as a dove. Her hair is fine,
silky, dark and wavy rather than curly.
She is inclined to be extravagant, but
can make sacrifices if necessary, for she
is not selfishly extravagant and is as
willing to spend money on friend as
on herself. A fine, snowy, passionate,
generous girl is the St Louis young
woman, whose heart runs away with
her head sometimes. Indeed the greater
part of her charm is her warm hearted
impulsiveness.
The San Francisco girl is an entirely
different product from the girls of the
other cities. The conditions of life, the
floods Of golden sunshine and the prOfu
sion Of flowers and fruits all appear 70
shed some mysterious influence about
her. She il more beautiful than other
girls, and there is an almost sensuous
charm about the coloring of her COM
plexion, the masses of her golden hair
and the voluptuousness of her magnifi-
cent form. She has a talent for the stage
and is frequently highly gifted young
woman, nature being as lavish with her
in regard to mental gifts as to physical
charms. But though she is a marked
success upon the stage either as lyric
or dramatic artist, though she becomes
celebrated painter, sculptor or an
author, she is not cultured girl in the
ordinary acceptation Of the word. She
is not usually a we'll read girl, nor is
she a girl Of many accomplishments.
Her one talent developed. she rests con-
tent with that and the kingdom she
rules by right of beauty. She is a daugh
ter Of the gods, tall and most diyinely
fair, " and her gestures are graceful, un
conventional and wonderfully free. She
dresses well and fashionably, and her
accent is remarkably pretty, clear, dis
tinct, soft, full and absolutely untainted
by provincialism.
The trace of Spanish blood gives the
San Francisco girl the prettiest eyes
and eyebrows in the world, and the
mist and the fog preserve and clear the
lovely, soft, rich coloring Of her COM
plexion. The San Francisco ideal is
blond, but not white, towheaded

ing and healthy than strictly beautiful
Sometimes, however, she is more than
this She is full blown beauty and an
acknowledged society queen, reigning
not alone in the drawing rooms Of the
New York Four HundIed, but carrying
off the palm in European salons for
beauty, grace and wit.
The Boston girl is slender, pale, large
eyed and earnest. The surest way to her
heart is an acquaintance with differen-
tial calculus, or at least an interest in
comparative philology. She eats brown
bread and beans every Sunday andis con-
vinced that spectacles lend an air Of
distinction. Her dress is plain to am ex-
treme, and her whole appearance neat
ness personified.
Usually her hair is brown and her
eyes either blue or gray, and often she
is attractive because her complexion,
though pale, is clear and her expression
frank and open. Clear headed and prac-
tical, she has decided views not only
upon startlingly abstruse subjects, but
upon the political events Of the day. A
quiet, determined, fearless little body,
she can carry out undertakings that
seem far beyond her strength
She is inclined to think life devoted
to study and philanthropy desirable
one, and her opinion Of marriage sim
ply for the sake of marriage il not high.

Though in constant intercourse with
the diplomatic corps, she marries the

housekeeper and a fine cook. She
troubles herself but little with the new

girl, but a faithful, devoted wife and a

To accurately describe the typical
American girl seems almost impossible,
for each state and city has its own par
ticnlar type of reigning belle. There is
the New York girl, and the Boston girl,
and the Chicago girl, and the California
girl, of whose mental and physical at
tributes we have heard so much.
The New York girl is as different
from the Washington maiden as the
English young lady from the French
damsel. The Englishman visiting Goth
am for the first time rubs his eyes in
hmazement as he is presented to belle
after belle of the most correct English
type. These girls are as faultlessly and
gowned as his countrywom-
en-, but their tailor made costumes seem
to fit them better and to be worn with
an indescribable air that he cannot re-
member to have noticed in his own fresh
faced, rather heavy sisters.
The manners of the New York girl
have the same high bred repose as those
Of her transatlantic cousin, but her con-
yersation is more original and more
daring. She has her own opinions on
most subjects and expresses them when
ever she thinks it necessary or agreea-

A thorough woman Of the world, yet
with a touch Of sweet homelikeness
about her, she is belle who excites al
most as much admiration among the
women as men. She is not as fastidious-
ly correct as the New York girl, but as
compensation she is less stiff. She is
not so learned as the Boston maiden,
but she speaks French and German
more fiuently and more automatically.

content to cultivate some other talent
Her opinion Of the manner i'll which all
girls in the old world learn to sing and
play simply because every one else does
was amusingly parodied in an English
comic paper. Lady Evelyn de We're has
just finished playing, and her mother,
the dowager Duchess de We're, says to
Miss Chicago:
And will you not sing or play some
thing for Us, Miss Chicago?''
No, thank you, replies that frank
young woman. Mamma didn't have
me taught any parlor tricks -
She is ultra fashionable and rather
fond of showy colors and patterns,
which she wears better than any other
girl could. Usually she is healthy,
high colored creature. with noble i'm
pulses and capable Of high purpose,
with no trace of morbidness or super
sensitive nerves to disturb her enjoy
ment of life or upset her digestion.
Faults she has undoubtedly, but mean
nesses not one. Her language savors Of
the breezy, graphic slang Of the vest,
and she has a gift for going straight to
the point with a neat and apt descrip-
tion Of the subject under discussion, a
remarkable faculty for hitting the nail
on the head. Altogether the Chicago
damsel is an attractive though startling

With little care you can sweep the
dirtiest carpet without raising much
dust BY placing outside the door of the
room to be swept a pail Of clear, cold
water. Wet your broom, knock it against
the side of the bucket to get out all
the drops, sweep a couple of yards, then
rinse off the broom again. Continue this
until you have gone over the entire sur
face. If the carpet j. very much soiled,
the water should be changed several
times. Slightly moistened Indian meal
is also used by the Oldest housewives.

mixed complexion that suggests the
wild rose. The reigning American
bellies have fine, wavy, brown hair, dark
gray, changeful eyes, a white skin
tinged with soft pink in the cheeks and
red rose mouths.
Unlike beauties of other nationalities,
the American society queens beauty is
enhanced by the expression of her mo
bile face and the opaline shades that
play in her bright dark eyes. Unbound
by the rigid conventionalities Of the old
world, there is certain free grace about
the American woman that il singularly
