There isn't any doubt about the changed

have already been brought about in the
supremacy of what is affectonatey

Gold lace belts are quite the thing now.
Gold lace in that connection is used tech
nicay and means, not womans lace but
the military article-that is, gold tape or
braid. The most elaborate evening gowns
have belts of this sort of stuff buckled with
jewels and real gold. Women can save some
thing by buying this lace" at some military
supply place.
Very useful sleeveless blouses are made of
velvet. trimmed with fur. The shoulder seam
is very long SO that the armhole is big enough
to accommodate the biggest sleeve in its pas
sage through, and the shoulder Of the blouse
extends in a generous curve forward over the
sleeve like a round shoulder cap or cave. Such
a blouse is made full in front and overhangs a
belt. At the back it is drawn close. and some
times little frill skirts show below the belt.
The collar is a high stock. The blouse fastens
invisibly among the folds of the front, fur is
the usual finish. and such a garment is a
cozy addition to a gown planned for the street.
Aside from Its value an aid in trimming
new dresses, chiffon is of great assistance in
freshening the worn bodice. But here is a
newer trick Of restoration. one that is especial
ly adapted TO a black evening dress. Black is
always easy to bring up to date. but this de-
vice does the trick more prettily than is or
dinarly possible. To accomplish it. sprawl
the skirt all over with trailing and interlacing
designs of cut-out lace, or else run all over it
lines of jet silver tinsel or color, allowing the
lines to intersect and make irregular shaped
and sized spaces. At the intersections put
spangles or jewels, and the result will be just
right. The bodice may be treated the same
way. or it may be left plain.

THE BALTIMORE BELLE.
She Is Always in Perfumed Laces and
Sparkling Jewels.

I always think of the New York girl as
the smartly-turned-out tailor-made girl,
the best all-round dresser from strictly
up-to-date standpoint in America, but the
Baltimorean comes to the memory adorned
with jewels and fine lace, the perfume of
violets in the furs about her throat and
upon her luxurious, well-coiled hair a
hat or bonnet picturesque and Frenchy
To the qualities of the old-time Southern
grand dame the terrapin girl has added
the buoyancy and policy of a broad, cos
mopolitan life. As for her beauty, that has
been immortalized many times over. Any
old gentleman of Virginia or Maryland
and many others, indeed. of other Southern
States, will recall now. with a flush of
pleasure on their wrinkled checks. the love
liness of some Baltimore maid. Among
these, perhaps the most famous beauties
of ante-bellum days were the two Misses
Carey, Hettie and Constance, both of
them tall women of superb proportions
with great brown eyes that matched in
color the abundant beauty of waving au-
burn hair.

BADGES OF MATRIMONY.
All Sorts of TOrtures Undergone by
SnXngc Women With Hus hn Il nls.

Badges of matrimony were worn by all
other nations, but tabooed by American
women The Germans wear a little cap
or hood, of which they are very proud.
and "donning the cap is feature of
the wedding day among the peasants OF
certain localities. The Russians are al
ways seen. even in the hottest weather,
with a thick cloth of dark hue twisted
about their heads. In New Guinea the
young woman lets her hair hang about
her shoulders. but when she is married
this is cut short.
Chinese matrons braid their hair like a
helmet. In Wadal the wives color their
lips by tatooing them with the thorns Of

ley, there are not many angular, round
shouldered, sallow or narrow chested
young women. The Wellesley girls have
defeated Harvard men on the tennis
courts at matched contests. They vie
with Canada in lacrosse, and weary their
caddies on the golf field. The class crews,
a distinctive feature of Wellesley's ath-
letic life, receive careful and scientific
training in the gymnasium before they go
upon the lake, and every few weeks they
are subjected to a physical examination,
TO prove whether or not they are going
beyond their strength. Opportunity is
given for the physical training of every
student if she desires it, in the gymna-
sium and out of it.
The out-of-doors athletic grounds, COW
ering between two and three acres near
the lake side, afford a running track and
field for almost any athletic purpose.
Near by the class courts invite to tennis
and basket ball. and golf links attract
the most adventurous maiden. a recent
Presidents report shows by means OF
diagrams that in six months the mean
girth of chest of members of the crews
had increased one and one-half inches.
and the mean lung capacity had increased
twenty cubic inches; while the students

standard at Wellesley has advanced as
rapidly as and coincidentally with the

THE EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN.
Is 1t Best for Man or Another
woman to Command Her.

Life is not yet conducted only in letter
press or on the boards The exceptional
woman-exceptional whether by beauty or
brains-is beginning to realize that though
she may be ornamental she Is certainly
lonesome; and her mind misgiyes her a,
times whether this exceptional attitude is
not almost a symptom of failure? She
asks herself whether one of the most
tangible forms OF success is not to get on
with people, here and now? And the
greater success, as she also begins to OBJ
serve, is to get on with women. To get on
with men is much less distinguished. for
the odds are all in her favor On this very
account have heard persons argue that a
man should be placed in command Of wo-
men, and woman in command of men:
put as, in practice, these situations are
usually reversed, the man being governed
by one of the women and the woman by one
or the men, the plan scarcely commends
