NHE young man was bringing to bear all
bis limited attainments as a contor-
ZIONIST in his efforts to see around the
= tall, wide hat worn by the sweet
girl in front OF him.
The young woman whom he was accom-

Then knowing smile passed over her
face, and she leaned over and whispered
loudly enough for the girl With the big hat

He looked fierce. but said nothing, and the
owner OF the hat stared straight ahead with
pleased expression.

with the knowing look resumed. that she

The girl in front made a convulsive grab
and shifted the hat to one side. Then it
didn't feel right. and she showed it away
over the other side, only to hear in COMMITS

1t was toOSnuch. The girl in front reached
up with a resoiute hand. undid the hat and
laid it in her lap, while the young man cast
a glance at his companion which was elo-
quent with und lying admiration and eternal
gratitude.

THE SECRET OF ART.

them better, and then, he says,
spoil them by TOO much sewing-too much
of what l can't translate better than by
calling IL cut utand-driedneSS." The French
study effects anh let the details take care
of themselves. But they pay a great deal
of attention to details or one sort. If not
those of another. The French woman does
not care whether the stuff is cheesecioth or
satin, side plated or gathered, so long
as it makes her look well; but she dotes
on having her lingerie. her gloves. her shoes,
her wells, her entire outfit, perfectly au
fait.

lgarnitures. French workwomen like TO
do decorative work In dressmaking, but
they hate to finish the inside OF a bodice
n s our merican drasSmakers feel that they
must finish their work. Anybody who has
ever tried to make hat or bonnet knows
that she not infrequently secures a good
effect in the trial arrangement and spoils it
all when sewing Is done ny making it look
stiff and ugly The French do not believe
in much sewing, and by eschewing : much

effects that are quite their own.

THE FRETFUL ONES.

"HERE is the wife who is stunned and
Wv miserable because she discovers
that marriage Is not a lasting pic

band must be different from the
lover, and spends her days in impotent
whining. She eisalwaysbeing neglected and
always taking offense; she has an in
satiable craving for attentions, and needs
continual assurance OF affection, wasting
her time and feelings in getting up pa
thetic scenes OF accusation, which finally
weary and then ALLEVIATE her husband Her
own fault! There is nothing a man hates
more than a woman going sobbing and
complaining about the house with red eyes,
unless it be a woman with whom he must
live in a perprtual FOOLS paradise of per-
fection.
There are also discontented wifes who
goad their husbands into extravagant ex-
peniiture aud urge them to projects from
which they would naturally recoil. There
are others whose social ambitions slay their
dome ones, and who strain every nerve
in season and out Of season, and lose all
heir self-respect for few crumbs of con-
temptuous patronage from some person of
greater wealth than their own. Some
wives fret if they have no children, others
Just as much if children come. In the first

town in Quo where she was born
is now called Fulershurg. This bap-
tisn did not follow. however, upon
the dancers fame, but rather that the
Fuiiers almost owned the town as far as
population went. As bali OF the city fathers
were Fullcrs. they decided to change the
name Of the town.
La Loie'' is remembered as a dancer
even in her childhood days. Not after the
artistic manner OF today, but in a fashion
which was sufficiently energetic to call
forth comment, IL not applause, from those
who witnessed it.

In theory / am thoroughly agreed with

was a downright, intnlerable. precocious,
genuine English, il-bred, unChildlike child.
Nevertheless, the impression of her mere

and round arms. Let me record the way
IN which, on two occa siOns. when lie has to

BEAUTY OF DRESS.

"HE beauty of dress depends much
upon the harmony of colors. This Is
effected by combination of the
three primaries, either pure or in
combination with each other. Col
ors are modified in tone by the proximity
of other different colors By ordinary gas
light blue becomes darker, red brighter,
and yellow lighter. By this artificial light
pure yellow appears lighter than white
itself when viewed in contrast with GER
tain other colors. In this way highly pol
ished brass is often mistaken for silver
At twilight blue appears much lighter than
it is, red much darker. and yellow slightly
darker.-New York World.
