Lillian Bell, discussing Tne Phi losophy of Clothes" in the Ladies Home Journal, declares that there is a bollowness about having a man praise your gowns when you know he doesn't know what he is talking about When a man praises your clothes he is always praising you in them. You will never hear a man praise even the good dressing of a woman whom he dislikes. But girls who positively hate another girl often will add, but she certainly does know how to dress
 There is an 1888 walk" for women and ali the girls in New York who pride themselves on being abreast of the times are learning it. It is quite the rage on the avenue" and the ad- jacent side streets, and is being imi- tated on less fashionable promenades. In essence the rev feminine walking philosophy is this: You must walk along quietly and calmly, with much shorter steps than you took during the winter. stepping out on the full foot and not on the ball Of the foot alone, and with your arms held down by your side and not swinging.
 The new walk is far more graceful and effective than any of the fashion able walks for the last half dozen years previous to this summer.
 The 1898" walk combines athletic vigor with repose of manner, and has not the rush and exaggerated energy of the pedestrian exercise lately insist ed upol by the modern girl.
 The spring and summer girl of 1898 steps out with steps that are neither short nor long, firmly, and making use of her entire foot
 Her arms harg naturally down, the wrists resting against her frock, and the backs of her hands toward the front Thus the palms are turned in- ward, the fingers being slightly curled. There is no movement of the arms, the body does not sway and the only mo- ton is that of the hips. Her head is bent forward a trifie and both chin and eyes are dropped. The attitude of the moment, in a word, is quiet and demure.
 Reasons, as @ usual thing, can be found for every fashion, and the req son of the dropping forward of the head and the lowering of the eyes can be discovered in the tilting of many of the walking hats of the day well over the forehead All last winter the well dressed modish girl threw her head we'll back, and her shoulders too were erect, and she took long bold steps. It followed quite naturally that she opened her eyes exceedingly wide and looked straight forward. But the coming in of the tilting hats, pulled still farther over the face by veils, has made this mannerism quite out of the question and brought about complete ly new fashion of street demeanOr. Whether she likes it or not once ar rayed in one of the new hats the girl that would be in style must tip her head forward instead of throwing it back. Long steps, it may be seen at once, do not go well with the pose, nor do swinging arms.
 A small but appreciative audience greeted Mrs. Florence Scarborough and Mrs. Katherine Wilson Wednesday night at the opera house. Mrs. Scar borough has a voice of exceptionally rare quality and of splendid range. Her dramatic selections were very inc. With this talent combined with a good physique and fine stage presence, Mrs. Scarborough will command moro than usual interest anywhere. Many of her selections were encored. It is said that Mrs Scarborough will have an engagement with the Bostonians next season. Mrs Wilson's selections on the piano were very fine, and her accompaniments were most sympathet- ic with the songstress. Her rendering of "The Palms" was excellent.
