The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-09-29

Dispatch, who has devoted himself to
the study of physiology. an
thropology and allied sciences
makes the rather startling assertion
that mustaches are becoming commoner
among women in the present day than in
the past. He tells US that in Constantine
pie among the unveiled women that are
to be met with one out of ten possesses an
unmistakable covering of down on the up
per lip. In the capital of Spain. again
the proportions of ladies with masculine
characteristic is said TO be quite equal
to that observable on the Golden Horn.
An American medical man states that in
Philadelphia fully 3 per cent OF the adult
fair sex are similarly adorned, and proba
bly, the proportion would be still larger
but that many women take the trouble to
eradicate the unwelcome growth by the
application of depilatory preparations. Is
this increase in the number of women with
hair on their faces to be regarded as a
sign that the human race is improving?
Very few men, at all events, will be dis
posed to consider that a mustache adds to
the charms of the opposite sex. English
men, indeed Only a generation ago had
such a detestatiCn of mustaches and
boards thar the practice of shaving all the
hair off the face down to their mutton
chop whiskers was all but universal From
'--tAi s'4Ae'fNAl leitiitl >
plunged into the other. and boards and
musta aches rapidly became the fashion.
The fashion has of late years been modi-
fed Boards are less common, but the
mustache is cultivated in England as
widely as on the continent. But why
should the fair sex be visited by this af-
fiction? Some writer's OH ethnology hold
that the higher races of mankind are al
ways the hairler, and MIR. Mott thinks that
in a few centuries men and women will
be clothed In hair. But we do not believe
Mr. Mott and we certainly do not wish
to live to see the day of the bearded beau

Bone Castings.

Mistake is made by many "home
dressmake-s"'' in putting on bone cas-
ings drawn very tightly. They should
be left loose-eyen wrinkled-a the
bones when inserted will bring them to
their proper arching shape on the in
side. Whalebone soaked in warm water
IN hour before using render them more
pliable. Belt ribbon should never be
sewed to the underarm seams. Bent
hooks should be chosen for fastenings,
setting on first q hook and then an eye,
and SO on alternately down the bodice,
and it will never unlock of itself.
Waist Innings are cut an inch longer than
the outside to allow for the stretching
OF the outside material. The extra
length is taken up gradually in the
seams.

Miss Hurryup-Ah. George, you
cannot tell what troubles a girl has
who is receiving the attentions Of O
Mr.. Holdof-Troublos, Carrier Of
what nature, pray? -
Miss H.-Well, ones brothers are
always making fun of one, and ones
relatives r always saying, when
is it to come OFF," as if marriage
vas a prize fight. But that is not
the worst. There's the inquisitive-
ness of ones parents. They want to
know everything. There's papa,
now. He is constantly asking such
questions as Carrie, what are Mr..
Holdof's intentions? What does he
call upon you SO regularly for and
stay SO late when he does oall?''
And be sometimes looks so cross
when he asks this question that ]
actually tremble.
Mr.. Hand what answer do yor
make to his questions, Carrie, dear
est?
Miss HI can't make any an
swer at all, for, you see, you haven
said anything to me, and-and-o
Course-I-I-
Then Mr.. Holdoff whispered some
thing in Carries ear, and next tim
her father questions hor she will b
ready with a satisfactory reply

BLUE PETER IN WHIST.
The Signal For Trunps First Employed
by Lord Heary Bontinck.

The Signal Fcr Trunaps First Employed
by Lord Heary Bontinck.
There is a house in London which
should be the Mecca Of all whist players
who believe in the new school and the
Information" game, a Shrine before
which they should bow respectfully "a
the fountain head Of all that is modern
in the game. This is 81 St. James
street. and it is within sight Of Marl-
borough House. Its fame rests chiefly
on the fact that it was at n time
known as Graham's club, and that
within its walls Lord Henry Bentinck
first introduced tho blue peter, or
signal for trumps, which consists In
playing q higher card before q lower
when no attempt is made to win the
trick. That signal has been to the whist
players of the world like the pillar Of
fire to the children of Israel For more
than 40 years it has led them up and
down in the wilderness Of arbitrary con-
vantions, but it has never brought them
to the promised land of better whist.
The blue peter was the introduction
to whist of q purely arbitrary signal OF
| convention, and its seed has spread like
a this.le's until it has entirely oyerrun
the old game Of calculation, obaerya-
ton, position and tenaoe, " leaving in its
place long suits, American leads, plain
suit echoes, four signals and directive
discards, These seem to have choked up
all the dash, brillianoy and individual.
ity in Z whist players, reducing them
all to the same level. not by increasing
the abilities Of the tyro, but by curtail'
ing the skill of the expert-R. Frederic

Mr.. Josept Mains, himself a we'll

Then there is the speaker who always

There was a fight Of fancy when the
