1t has been noticed lately that the
Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railroad

on the track near the Martins Ferry

HIGH SHAKE
GOING OUT.
Greeting No Longer Consists
of Feigned Blow at Nose
of Friend.

Etiquette has been defined az "the
OIL that makes the wheels of society
run smoothly" and no one will denv
That reasonably fixed code of social
observance is useful and even neces-
sary. But how deliciously funny some
OF our customs are! One of the most
absurd of these, the "high' handshake.
is to be chronicled thankfully as ran
idly becoming obsolete. 1t has for sew
eral years been the absurdest burlesoue
of friendly greeting.
The custom of shaking hands in token
of cordial feeling had it's origin in the
ancient habit of kissing the hand of
ones superiors in rank in token of
fealty or respect. Gradually the hand
clasp of equals was evolved from the
ceremony and has continued in favor.
Our grandfathers' graceful habit of
kissing the hands of the women they
wished to honor, passed into disuse
with their other courtly manners when

was abandoned for the seventies of
their modern garb. There is an "eter-
nal fitness" even in small matters, and
the simple handshake seemed more in
consonance with the simple dress of
this century. The "high handshake' in
which .the hands are extended to a level
with ones nose and there grasped with
a single movement as if to avert a blow,
can claim affinity only with the clown 8

mean to look as pretty as we can at all
times, and-many romance has begun
in a parlor car!
The illustration furnishes charm
ing design for a travelling gown. 1t is
built of slvery gray cashmere, black
velvet and white nuns yelling. The
seven-gored skirt is the very newest
shape, fitting in a manner almost
sheath-lille as far as the knees, the
cores haring suddenly at that point so
that the bottom of the skirt is four and
half yards wide. The bodice is of the
cashmere with short basques at the
back and the bloused front is of white
nuns yelling with half inch black vel
vet ribbon run on in clusters of three
bands. The jacket front is made of
black velvet in style which is Empire
where it is not Figaro and Figaro
where it is not Empire. That is to say,
it is sewed in pleats in the shoulder
seam, and the pleats are cut boero-
wise a. the lower edge and flare as may
seem good unto them. The sleeves are
of the cashmere and have draped tops,
the lower part fitting closely and eX-
tending over the hand in a point. A
black velvet belt with bow at the left
side finishes the front gray straw
hat trimmed with black tulle. velvet
and ouills completes the costume. White
chamois gloves are pretty with TINS
gown but gray glace are more durable.
The touriste is probably fond OF
dancing and will have at least one pref
ty gown for the late hop. Here, again,
it is well to have more than one idea IN
mind and to select a gown that will be
equally appropriate for winter parties.
A charming toilette is of pink nun
yelling. The siX-gored skirt has deep
yoke studded with black jet beads and
outlined by a narrow ruche of pink
null between two similar ruches OF
black tulle The blouse bodice is of
pink null made over pink silk and is

black velvet ribbon tied in large bow
and three strips of narrow black velvet
ribbon extend over each shoulder fas-
tening in little butterfly bows on the
shoulder. This is a very pretty model
and has the advantage of being easily
adapted to a neck whose anatomical

In this way the most obtrusive collar

ALL ABOUT THE WOMAN OF FASHION.
Look Out for the Late August Girl=W Her Gowns and Wells
She Is the Wiliest Siren OF Them ALL

The young woman whose vacation is
limited to a few weeks is wise if she
select late August and September when
possible. Her outing may be taken
then with comparative comfort, and Sc
rene in the consciousness that her soft
ly creped hair is just as it should be
and her throat adornments immaculate,
she goes forth conquering and to con-
quer.
Neither is her anticipative enjoy
ment disturbed by the unpleasant re-
Election that she will be obliged to do
double duty on her return, since by that
time all her confreres have had their
vacations, and she will have only her
own work to resume.
Having been clever enough to select
the very most auspicious time of all
the season, the tourist girl, of course
knows better than to cucumber herself
with cavernous Saratogas filled with
unnecessary gowns acquired at much
unnecessary expense. Her travelling

ater wear in the winter.
The black decorations render permis-
sible a black slipper over the pink silk
stocking. if desired.
If the touriste go seaward yachting
costume is essential. An open meshed
white canvas over red, with collar, re-
vers and cuffs of a Scotch plaid in
which red is the prevailing tone, is i'm
mensely effective. The front of the
blouse may open widely over a full
vest of either the plain red silk or the
plaid, the edges caught together by
white soutache frogs" red sailor
hat trimmed with white ribbon and
wings, belongs to this costume. OF
course, the entire color scheme may be
changed to suit the individual taste.
With these gowns and the one or TWO
for roughing that she already possesses
the tourist girl is ready for any occa-
sion and can endorse Margaret Fuller

being well-dressed is a greater moral

effect.
1t is well to remember that large dots
in yelling are wholly out OF date anu
that plain tulle is the most popular ma
terial among fashionable women. Inc
scarf veil is charming for those TO
whom it is becoming. 1t consists SIM
ply of one and half or two yards OF
tulle, preferably white, fastened at the
back of the hat and brought around
to tie in a big bow under the chin with
most fetching effect.
1t is pleasant to learn that the peau-
tiful, soft fabrics that fall in such
graceful folds, have returned. Henri
eta, cashmere, nuns yelling, all are
among the newest importations. In
silks there is a return to the heavy
corded weaves such as Bengaline. The
exquisite Irish poplin also is coming
back into favor and the indications all
point to a renewal of the clinging dra-
peries of some years ago. The soft COL
ors are becoming again popular, as
might be expected, since there is al
ways a certain degree of analogy or
parallelism between the fabrics and
colors worn. Delicate grays. warm
browns, soft blues are to be the colors
of the season, in pronounced reaction
from the wild riot of vivid hues in
which the summer has been passed.

ment which one frail woman has opened
up to them.
1t is toward the unhappy child-wid
ows that her efforts have been chiefly
directed; for Ramabai has been one
herself, and knows well the sorrows
and tribulations attendant upon that
condition,-and this is what she did for
them.
With the $1,000 which she procured
in this country, she purchased pal
ace at Poonah and endowed the Sna-

it's name doesn't matter much at this
distance. Her own name. Pundita Ram
abai, is more important, because it is
one that is we'll known in England and
not wholly unfamiliar to Americans.
We fatter ourselves that we have the
only woman professors in the world
we have a right to take a great deal of
credit to ourselves in this respect, we
must admit that there are others, when
the fact is forced upon us that this lit
tie Pundita Ramabai, in her white In
dian hood and her wooden shoes, was a
college professor herself at the British
college of Cheltenham. Not many
women in the world have had such dis
tinguished pupils as had she. Glad
stone and Professor Max Muller went
to her to learn Hindustani, and Queen
Victoria herself invited the Pundita
over to Windsor Castle in order to show
off her own knowledge of Bengalee.
At the same time that she occupied
the chair of Sanskrit in Cheltenham,
she was learning everything else laid
down in the curriculum Of that institu-
ton of learning, and it so happened
that just as she was ready to graduate
there her cousin Anandibai Joshee-
who was also of the new woman"
class, in spite of that impossible, ORR

While here she delivered lectures be-
fore all sorts of distinguished people,

telling folks all about the women of her
country, how badly off they were and
always would be If they weren't helped.
So great was her success that she was
able to collect $S7,070.99 among charita-
BILE Americans, and thus armed she
went back to India to start her re-
form-not, however, before she had
written a book entitled 1.-THE High

a complete set of school books into Ma
rathi, besides taking a course in meth
DDS of teaching at the Philadelphia
kindergarten training school, and
translating the games, so to speak, into
Hindustani,-a little collection of tasks
which she accomplished in the short
period Of eight months!
Thus armed and equipped, financially
as we'll as mentally, Pundita Ramabai
went back to storm the citadel of igno-

the women of India in a condition of
degradation from which there can be
no escape-eXcept death-save through
