well said the Very Young Man, with
a gulp, IT usually look at the eyes. II a
girl has a certain kind Of eye, why, she's
a certain kind of girl"
Yes said the Very Young Man Of the
world. sbut the trouble of that is If the
girl has pretty eyes you soon forget why
you began to look at them. And after a
while the only thing you are thinking Of
Is how really charming the girl is"

The Very Young Man blushed and was
silent.

World softly, IF she's the girl, a man
doesn't know it by the way she walks or
fhe way she punches up her skirts. It's
only in crtticising the other women that
his knowledge comes in handy"
The Very Young Man of the World
smiled doubtfuIly and ineredulousiy. The

Substitute for Stays-A few energetic
society women, not students of hygiene,
are evoking out of their powerful minds
a novel idea to suit the sheath-Iike gowns
nodded to the figure, namely, to forego
stays, and to have a bodice for each
dress stiffened with bones, the exact
shape of the dress bodice. so that the
back curves gracefully and the waist is
well supported but supple withal.
Something About Lace-So great has
been the success of the lace dresses worn
this season that they have almost been
universal, with the result that we are
getting a little tired of them, and it Is
rumored thai their day is over; but how
ever much fashion may come and go with
regard to modern laces, there is a decided
reaction, which is sure to remain with us,
with regard to real lace, and this will not
be considered inappropriate in any style
of dress, whether morning or evening.
