too gay When a girl is in love with you 1t is time enough for gayety.
 When you are talking to her look her squarely in the eyes; not rudely or Women do not like men who cannot meet their gaze. They like to do all the blushing themselves.
 Much also depends on your feet. Wear patent leather if possible. have also found, as a general thing, that girls do not like red shirts or pink neckties. They look too effeminate. For brunettes I would suggest dark and quiet clothes. Brunettes are gen orally quick observers, and loud clothes seem to annoy them.
 If you are counting blonde you may wear big checks if you like. They do not seem to care much about the clothes you may wear so long as they are in good taste. At least that has been my experience. Blondes are also fond of blue and white neckties.
 Don't startle a lady with the vehe- mence of your love- The days of melo- drama have gone by. 1 have found that love is a tender plant, and must be tenderly nurtured. Do not be a dude No woman likes an effeminate man so long as there are other kinds to choose from. Do not use slang unless the lady uses it. I lost a brilliant match once by a pernicious habit of saying You bet" Then I quit slang altogether.
 Let me tell you: No matter what your feelings may be, do not let your heart run away with your judgment. Take things easy. There are very few girls you cannot kiss before becoming engaged to. Most of them will love you if they kiss you. Therefore, if pos sible get up a wager of-say a box of candy against a kiss. Lose the first two or three bets, until the lady thinks she has a cinch. Then work in a sure thing. Call as usual in the evening. When the opportunity arrives insist upon payment. Do not tremble or lose nerve. The girl will blush and try to change the subject. If she bushes she will pay up. with proper coaxing.
 If she says, T prefer to give you back your candy" all is off and there is noth- ing doing.
 There should never be trace of li- Quor on your breath. Neither should a young man indulge in cloves, sassa- fras or cardamom seed. Girls look upon them as mere subterfuges. Keep your mouth clean and you will have nothing to fear. When the time comes for you to kiss young woman do not grab them off like cakes off hot griddle. Go about 1t slowly. Do not dishevel her hair or muss her collar, or take it like

 These bands run all around the skirt and rise up behind it; one of the two rows rises to point as high as the waist A similar trimming ornaments the skirt around the bottom. The cOrsage is blouse shaped in front and tight in the back, where it is ornamented with flowers worked in black chenille, and just above the waist is a design in the same mate rial, forming kind of chevron. The up- per part of the back is ornamented with a large square collar, also embroid- cred and edged at the sides with black chenille insertion. This collar is con- tinued over the shoulder and forms point lapels, descending to the waist in front; embroidered in the same style as the rest of the dress and opening over a front of white frilled mousseline de soie. The neck trimming is of the same material over white satin. The sleeves are very simple and tight from the shoulder to the waist.

r ERE is the advice of a man who
 has married seven wives on T "How to Win a Womans Love" l 1 The man is David E. Bates. At
 present he is in jail, charged with bigamy. Bates attributes his suc- cess with the sex to ''his knowledge of women and human nature"
 Do I love my wives and do they love me? Earth contains no better, truer or fairer flowers, and sincerely believe that each loved me with all the inten- sity of passionate love that good women cast about their hearts idols.
 I was born and raised on farm un- till my twenty-fourth year. l never paid any attention to the fair sex until was IS years old. I did not go to parties or dances. I was naturally bashful and afraid of the girls. At the age of Is accompanied girl to little country party. It was my first effort as beau. Since then I have acquired great ex- perience in the ways of the world and the ways of women. l will not speak of my past or uphold or give details of my career, except in general way. What I am accused of doing was from no criminal desire on my part, and the circumstances shall be held sacred by me out of respect to those concerned.
 After my first party I felt different in every way. I was prouder of my personal appearance and was more ann bitious I looked upon woman With different eyes. I began to think or the kind of woman I would like to marry. Should she be tall or short, fat or lean, blonde or brunette?
 At an early age l was made 10 pe- lieve that the dark girls were sweeter, truer and better tempered than the fair-haired ones; but I have been forced to believe the contrary. While the brunette may not exhibit such high temper. yet her deep. quiet nature fur nishes fuel to prolong the fire of her angry passion.
 While the blonde may fly at you like an enraged tigress, yet the tempest Is soon over and all Is sunshine again.
 Wear a mustache if possible. l have found that women greatly admire mustaches, no matter what color they are. Of course, this is merely an ad- junct, but it will help you to win your battle.

A morning dress made at the same es- tablishment Is of brick red woolen satin, with black stripes woven in the material. The skirt Is extremely tight around the body and touches the ground It is made with one breadth on the cross, so that the stripes form chevrons. The skirt is trimmed all round with black velvet ribbon, the same width as the stripes, with which they alternate. There are eight rows just beneath the waist, and five rows about half way down. In the center, in front. over the velvet trimming, is a design in passementerie, embroidered in jet.
 The corsage is composed of a decollete blouse. cut round at the neck. and orna- mented all over with bands of velvet on the cross, with the chevron points on the left side. close to the fastening.

Y T was in 1S66 and we were travel
 ing slowly across the plains in a
 numbering stage coach, instead of
 flying overland in a luxurlous
 sleeper with a dining-car attacheo
 and every other convenience. l tell you we had something to complain of in those days besides the alkai dust.
 There was Parepa Rosa and her hus- band, and her maid, and De Vivo. her manager; and there were couple or men, I remember, whom we suspected of being Mormons; and there was quiet man, very quiet man-in fact, he never spoke and was no great ac- quisition to the party, as you may imagine. And then there was the driver and myself, and I think that was all.
 One Mormon, Carl Rosa, De Vfvo and myself played cards a great deal and we managed to while away the time rather we'll The other Mormon firted with Parepa Rosas maid, who was pretty girl with red cheeks and snap ping black eyes. It was a great risk he took, for the snap in her eyes told plainly that she wouldn't brook rival, much less a family of rivals. How
 
 didn't need him for fourth hand, we let him alone. The silent man was out of everything, for he didn't play cards, it was impossible to draw him out, and he didn't even seem to have the eradication of taking in our con Versation, for when De Vivo would tell his adventures or relate anecdotes of the celebrated people he had n1et-and De Vivo was a talker-his expression never changed. For the matter of that, nothing seemed to strike him or arouse his interest until some one alluded to Lincoln's assassination, and then, with a faint show of interest and a slow drawl, he said: Dew tell Is Lincoln dead?"
 We let him severely alone after that. He was stamped back woods" and we never tried to draw him out again, having come to, the conclusion that there was nothing to draw.
 It was a glorious moonlight night We were rolling along smoothly enough. In four days we would arrive at our des- tination, Salt Lake, and all was well. We had enjoyed a good dinner at five and now we were happy in the remem- brance thereof, for it was far better to look back on a good meal than for ward to the uncertainty of the next.

The waistband is round and rather narrow, being composed of a gold band ornamented with three designs in gold and precious stones, and fastening in front with a square buckle. A toque hat of white velvet, draped like turban, completes the costume. This hat is trimmed on the right side with two black feathers, one upright, the other running along the brim and dropping over the hair behind. In the center in front is a straSS buckle.

S----5 MBROIDERY is still much used
 I1 for ornamenting certain descrip-
 tions of dresses. Inlaid lace or
 guipure, spangles and precious C@J stones are frequently adopted ;
 but one of the simplest and pret-
 tiest trimmings is embroidery in cord, re- lieved by velvet chenille, like that on a white cloth dress made by Ernest Raud- nitz, of which an illustration is given. The skirt is quite tight fitting in front and at the sides in the upper part. It is slightly held up around the waist behind, and the fullness increases gradually till 1t pro duces, by means of a bias, considerable fullness at the bottom. It is ornamented behind almost to the top and in the lower part in front with light arabesque de- signs worked in black velvet chenille. The front is made with a broad rounded apron of white cloth, coming down below the knee and embroidered with small chenille flowers. Beneath the apron, en sautoir, are two bands of embroidery in
