EARRINGS.
When to Wear Them and When They Should Be
 Left at Home and Tips of Ears Shown.

Earrings may be worn with theater toque They may be worn with small hat, and they may be worn with hat that is set over the face. The best au- thorities agree that earrings do not look well when the. hat is back onh the head. They give an oriental appearance that Is not pleasing. The small screws may be worn with big hats. but never the big hoops. Very large hoops, on the other hand, often look well with the very small hat, and for theater wear are often both decorative and effective.

KEY WEST,

OH. Later, the dogs sneaking and
sore-eyed, and more numerous than
any other species, take up the refrain.
There Is a strange mixture of races at
Key West, but the negroes are the most
patriotic class. They alone celebrate
Fourth of July and other national holt
days. While the town has It's enlight-
ened and respectable people, 1t also has
Its shoddy class, whose ignorance of
the rest of the world carries them to
grotesque extremes In their efforts to
proclaim their greatness. Even In its
schools, Key West Is peculiar. The
-schoolhouses are built like cigar fac
tories, and each has mounted upon the
roof the bell of an old locomotive.
When the school bells are ringing II Is
easy TO close your eyes and imagine
yourself In n of the great railroad de-
pots of the North. The classes are

ars have time to make pea-shooters

II the teachers have n hard time, the
clergy have n worse one. The churches
are much7abuSed institutions, with n
large patronage and a meagre support.
Men that smoke presume that CIGARS
are manufactured IN Key West. but
there Is another source of income of
scarcely less Importance. ANY unfor-
tunate ship that ventures Into mort IS
considered legitimate prey, and it is n
bold mai that dares to protest against
the contiscation of his property. When

the greatest excitement prevails, and

a N OLD TOWN.
Some of the Many Amusing Features
of KEY West,


Key West Is one Of the oldest and
funniest towns in the United States.
II is made up of innumerable little
wooden houses without chimneys, but
crowded in irregular groups. Many Of
the houses have wooden shutters in
place Of glass windows. On most OF
the streets there are no sidewalks, but
people stumble over the Jagged edges
Of coral rock. The natives who wear
shoes ride in carriages. There are a
great number of public vehicles, and
one can be hailed at any corner and en-
gagged for 10 cents. Some of these car
riages are quite respectable in appear
ance. They are generally double-seat-
q affairs which have been discarded
in the North. The horses are wrecks
and they show by their appearance
that fodder is dear and that they are
not half fed. One of the sounds of
Key West Is the whacklng OF the horses
which draw the carriages and the
mules which move the street cars from
place 10 place. The street cars look as
If they had been dug up from the neigh
horhood of the pyramids. Ropes are
used for reirs and the only substantial
thing about the whole outfit is the great
rawhide whip, with which the street
car driver labOrs necessarily. The peo-
ole, as a rule, are opposed to excessive
cXerti)n. but they make an exception
in the case Of labor with a whip.
The town has n struggling newspa-
Per, which Is worthy of a better sup
port. The climate, of which much has
been written. is too good TO be wasted.
and there are traditions against excess
sive mental effort by either the makers
or the readers Of newspapers. Hun
dreds OF dogs, cats, ROSTERS, goats and
"~razorhacks" run at large through the
streets, and the three former combine
10 make the night hideous. In the ear
" evening the sound of negro meetings
and ~jubilations predominates. Then
