Fifty Cents per Bottle. Sold by Druggists.
RADWAY & CO., 30 Elm St, New York
sisted upon going to a shop near by to
get one. She was accompanied by a man
of the party and after choosing a fan
she had decided upon days before, excuses
followed about paying for il. What could
the poor man do? He paid for the fan
and swore at himself for being trapped.
Within the next month this same charm
ing innocent maiden obtained a handsome
smelling bottle in the same way. But
later on the two men discussed this affair
over B. and s. at their clubs. They have
ceased their visits at the house of the
young woman, but she goes on collecting
from other men friends in the same in
genious way.
Just why girls prefer this way of accu-
mulating small luxuries is not quite clear.
because those who follow this scheme are
in position to buy, or have bought for
them in their own families, the same arti-
cles they take from men.
One Of the most attractive girls of this
season, one who has an income of her
own, almost dresses herself with articles
which are sent to her. These include silk
hose, vests, silk petticoats dainty break
fast jackets, stunning golf stockings
neckties handkerchiefs, BELTS silk gowns
for the night and any other thing which
her fancy
How can this be possible, and how Is
IT accomplished? This question is easily
answered. A shopping expedition when
one is sure to meet ones friends a walk
on the avenue at the time when men walk
there to, an escort from tea or recital
a saunterng past the shop windows an
expression of desire to purchase on the
part of the girl; a hasty wish to send It
on the part Of the man, and 1t Is done
Parcels sent constantly to a house at
tract no attention, and when girls have
an income or allowances no questions are
asked.
This Is only one Of several cases which
have lately become known. Just how the
story leaks out is a mystery, but unfor-
tunately truthful one. Boxes for silk
hose are not unusual as souvenirs from
men friends, and although an astonish-
ing state of affairs, articles of delicate
hygiene also have been sent and accepted.
This unfortunate condition of social OBJ
legation exists in the fashionable sets, and
is not confined to the precincts of the
west of Broadway quarter, as could easily
be supposed.
With the ever-increaslng desire for nov
city, money to indulge the desire and the
perusal of certain kinds of French litera-
ture. women, and not a few men, go to
extremes.
Inc INTRODUCTION OF silver dDkletS at a
swell cotillion last winter may have given
birth to fad which is at present running
at great lengths in a certain set. 1t is
quite the proper caper for a small gold
chain TO be locked on the ankle, just
above the boot-top, by a man who is
guest of the house-and he keeps the key.
If the lovely girl wishes to take off what
in some countries is considered a badge
of servitude she must quarrel with the
keeper, or have the chain cut off by
jeweler. Here is where the advantage of
being keeper of the key bears weight. A
man may guard several locks and string
the keys. like foreign decorations, on
small gold chain, but girl can not with
safety to her conscience wear more than
one anklet al a time. Thus is the incor-
ruptible adage verified, "Off with the
old love, on with the new"
The band Is worn under the stocking,
which holds 1t in place, and as a rule is
out of sight unless 1t slips quite down,
when low shoes are worn. At first they
are uncomfortable and bruise the soft
flesh, but as a jolly girl remarked, its
easy enough to get used to-
With the anklet comes half hose. Not
that they bear any relation, but they have
appeared ensemble. Socks with turn
overs are only affected by the smart set,
and should be worn with silk fleshings
above. This, however, is purely a matter
of opinion, about which the wearer de-
cides Whether this fad Will become gen
eral on the links or MOTHS question about
which Their can be no theory before
scorching hot days appear. Those which
have been seen in drawing rooms during
the past few months have been for the
most part black silk, many quite plain,
while others have delicate lace work on
the front of the foot. Strange as it may
seem, colds resulting from undressing
part of the legs have not been frequent
and the idea prevails that one Is in no
greater danger from this new fad than
from bare arms.
II has been stated that among the hun
dreds of girls and women who are by cir
cuUnsta nces forced to the rank and file of
breadwinners, not one can be found who
can claim the distinction of wearing an
anket or half hose.
