ernor OF the State doesn't insist upon
his being absolutely secluded and all
lowed to see nobody? If that were done
we might get rid of some of the sickiy
sentimentality that nowadays is about
all the awful brutes that ever deserved
to be put to death by torture. That is
not a nice subject. Let us
TALK ABOUT THE GIRLS.
The type that is interesting nowadays
has undoubtedly resulted from the flow
er trimmed hats. She is the innocent
girl. She talks about the little cotton
frock she wears in the morning, and in
the evening she is fair in white muslin.
not the dowdy white muslin Of the Eng
lish girl, but the white muslin as il is
made beautiful by French dressmaker.
It has wide skirt, draped bodice,
lace trimmed fichu, while about the
small waist is a narrow girdle OF white
ribbon. The sleeves are full and big.
and on the dainty little head is straw
hat heavy with the flowers of the fold
and the dollhouse. The innocent girl
looks from under the brim and wonders
"how the gentlemen know so much,
and lis it really true that some Of them
drink whisky" and can anybody have
the heart to say that the pretty girls in
the ballet are even little tiny bit fast"
I and she shutters so when she says fast
almost as If she wsre saying something
beginning with a great big D; then she
wonders where mamma is" and is
afraid that she has done something
wrong, hopes that you will not misun-
derstand her, but, oh, dear! she's 50
frightened The chances are ten to one
that you have misunderstood her. The
innocent get-up is
A SNARE AND A DELUSION.
The tiny feet in their high-heeled slip
pers can dance vigorously until o'clock
in the morning; the 1.-the figure that is
half revealed and half concealed in the
white skirt can assume Il bathing dress
that is, to put it mildly, rather scant,
while the small hands that seem almost
afraid TO peep out from under the long
sleeves can hold with certainty the win
ming hand at poker, or deity pile chips
at roulette table. The eyes that look
so frightened from under that broad
brimmed hat easily pick out a winning
horse, and the sweet red lips that trem-
bic so with the fear of saying some
thing that will be misunderstood can
give very business-like order to dis
trict messenger boy as to the placing of
money on the favorite. II very much
danger lies in woman's eyes, it is most
dangerous in these innocent ones. The
inOcent girl would do we'll on Wall
street, and she can change her pose with
the season or the fashion.
All W0mankind is troubled nowadays
because the so-called semi-preciOus
gems have gone up in price, and the en-
erald, the gem that brings good health
and which makes a white hand look
winter costs double what it did last
year Advice from a smart girl is:
Look up all the old brooches and brace
lets that were set with garnets, am
ethysts, emeralds, topazes, and have
them yanked out and reset, reset in
buckles, in brooches, but choose the
very best, of course, fer ring" With
the coming Of the Semi-precious gems
into fashion has also come an effort on
the part of the jewelers.
TO MAKE THE OPAL FASHIONA-
BILE.
That an opal is beautiful gem nobody
will deny; that it is unlucky everybody
will affirm who has ever had one. |
can swear to year of trouble resulting
from wearing an opal pin. A gin
know, who shifted at the idea of ill-luck
and the opal, confssses nowadays that
she was a fool. Her betrothed gave a
q ~, IL
1t was put upon her finger with a loving
wish, and this girl, who was not super
stitlou' Afterwards confessed that
within an hour after she assumed it she
became conscious of something near
her. q somebody who was bad. She
said it seemed to her as if bat were
near her, and as if that bat were a E.
mon at heart. In reality, she had
constant feeling Of depression. She
tried to get rid Of it by saying she wasn't
very well and was nervous, but she con-
fessed that whenever she took the ring
off it seemed as if the supernatural de-
mon that lowered about her disappear
Sd and she felt better. One month af-
ter he gave her the ring her sweetheart
was drowned; within two months after
the arrival of the opal misfortune came
to her in the shape of a frightful scan
dal about her sister; she lost innumera-
bic things she priced, her fox terrier
died, and an old aunt who had always
promised to leave her money TO her
changed her mind and also her WILL and
announced in it that as her niece did
! not seem to be cheerful she wouldn't
burden her by adding to her income,
and instead shS willed it TO her favorite
preacher. This was the last stroke.
That girl took her ring and took to the
woods and buried it where neither man
nor woman can ever find7it, and so no
! body will get her bad luck.
By the bye, it is just as well to re-
member that if you sing before you put
on pearls you will weep before you take
them off. There is wisdom in saying,
"Abracadabra" before you assume to-
paz. and and then good fairy will be
near you rather than a bad one. II is
all very we'll to laugh at things that you
don't understand, and anyhow this
QUESTION OF LUCK Is A FUNNY
ONE.
7 have always maintained that the
lucky man was the one who knew how
to smile at the right time, and who knew
how to hit at the right time, and when
he smiled he made everybody glad, and
when he hit he hit straight out form the
shoulder, and made a number Of people
sorry.
What shall you hit? All the mean
people, all the towards, all the liars, all
the sneaks. all the gossips, and all the
scandal-mongers. and mean creatures
