SCIENCE OF NECK DRESSING.
If Frenchwoman has great hollows
below her throat and happens to have
a good back. her mOdiste cuts her bodice
very low in the back. showing its smooth
surface, while in the front the hollows
are hidden with strings of pearls or i'll
Vulnerable gold chains, to which are at
tached quaint diamond pendants. The
FrenchwOman sees the great advantage
of the stock. She arranges the ribbon
in very soft folds--I say ribbon, but it
may be silk or MULE, or silk or muslin,
or whatever she pleases-and then she
has Il haring bow just under her chin,
that gives breadth to her shoulders and
brings out the dimple in the chin and the
Wilderness of her teeth. You know how
thin Sarah Bernhardt used to be? Well,
she always went decollette, but she knew
how to manage it all so that the bones
were entirely forgotten.
The saddest sight | ever saw in the
way of necks was that of the thin,
scraggy old ladies at the Queens draw
ing-room. You know they must go decol-
lete. In her young days the Queen had
beautiful neck and shoulders, and she
presumed that all Englishwomen follow
her example in this as in every other re-
spect AS the Queen is short she wears
feathers to add to her height, and these
she forces every other woman to wear.
Hence if n woman is seven feet high
she is forced by order of the Queen to
make herself look eight feet by the stiff
plumes on the top of her coiffure. Many
n mother who bushes to think that her
own baby sees her bones has to exhibit
them in all their awfuness to the British
public or else not be presented, but no
self-respecting Englishwoman wants TO
omit this honor.
SHE EUCHRED THE QUEEN.
Do you remember the story of the old
Scotchwoman who got the better of the
Queen? She belonged to the Douglas
family, and they are credited with having
wills quite as strong rs the Guelphs. She
wrote personal letter to the Queen.
telling her that she suffered so with the
rheumatism in her shoulders and had the
Guinsy so bad that she begged to be al
lowed to wear a high bodice. as she wish
ed personally to present her grand
daughter. An answer came from the
Lord Chamberlain announcing that it
was impossible. After that two letters
were written to him stating the case. The
NO" was positive.
The Scotch wouldna daun. The horror
of the assembly can be ina gined when
Lady Sarah Douglas appeared gowned
superbly in white brocade, wearing all
the magnificent family jewels. and hay-
ing her bodice cut more decOllete than
that of any other woman. However,
there arose above the low bodice in stern
comfort and there came way down 10
the wrists a fiery red flal-eel shirt that
told how for once Scotch wit had got the
better of German stubbOrnness.
SWEETHEARTS OF SOLDIERS.
There are several girls at Tuxedo
whose sweethearts, like Jean, are off to
the wars, but the way they are bound is
beautiful. Some Of the letters are ordi-
nary gold rings set with sapphire and
diamonds, turquoise and diamonds, or, as
in one case, Il glowing ruby. A Southern
girl, who is here is, as far as chains are
concerned, very much engaged to Il young
man who means to get as near to Lee
as he can and who expects to vote for
him when he is put up for President. On
the third finger of her left hand-that
finger has vein which connects with the
heart-she wears IL beautiful pink pearl
set about with diamonds. That means if
she sheds Il single tear-and pearls mean
tears-they are to be tears of gladness.
Around her neck is Il very thin gold
chain, and on this chain is hung heart
of diamonds. OF course this opens, and
on the inside are-well, you might guess
IA photograph and lock of hair. On
her wrist is Il chain bracelet in which are
set small rubies. and engraved about
them in curious letters is the wise warn
ing. Fool. not to know love endures
no tie." In return for these pretty trink-
cts she letters her sweetheart with the
y
part of his arm and sufficiently tight not
to fall below the elbow. With cunning
taste she has chosen that it shall be
without Il jewel except the decoration
found by these words engraved upon it
in the duplicate of her handwriting: My
love is as deep rs the sea and as pure az
its foam"
That was put on when he started for
the war. and now, while the rest of us
are wildly enthusiastic, she's honest
enough to say she hopes every living
Spaniard will soon be dead one and
that. while she would prefer the Ameri-
cans to be saved, still they can all go to
, Spain or some other place provided
one particular man is preserved for her.
It's Il fact that women are selfish. but
their selfishness is always in favor OF q
man. I've no doubt that they were ma de
that way in the beginning, and there has
been no particular change from Eve TO
Bah.
