AS there is nothing new under the sun,

especially where dress is concerned. for

lProbably If we were to take to powder
and patches again we should make cab
crate curtseys and kiss hands and bow
and scrape in the approved fashion, even
possibly revive the pomander and the
snuff box and walk like marionettes. For
there are distinct indications of a change
in the gait OF the woman who is dressed
a la mode even now.
Many of US remember when different
seasons invariably brought about a new
mode of walking. There was the Alex
arldria limp" for instance, and, worse
still, the CHASTITY "Grecian bend" Later
on the eelskin skirt necessitated another
method of progression. and to this favor
it is that we seem to have come again
with the revival of the tight petticoat
that is bringing in its train the p~olonaise-
Madame La Mode has not publicly an
nounced this required change in our de-
pertinent, but it has "just growed," like
Topsy, in that mysterious manner where
in all fashions come into existence. We
nave become conscious all at once that
women are walking differently, but at the
same time almost indescribably. They
glide not, neither do they hop, but they
certainly no longer step out with an even,
steady, firm stride. Like the lady who
wandered down the mountain side. they

Men who are looking for wives are
growing more cautious daily. The up-to-
date maidensof society must be careful if
she would wear orange blossoms.
In the opening of loves campaign ap-
pearances count doubly, Men love beau
ty, but there is one rival to this attribute
in their eyes, to wit, exquisite neatness-
Given the features of Venus. a girl
whose hands denote little care, teeth
given over to tartar, or a breath that IS
not to be tolerated save at a consider

betrothal ring.
Remember, girls, men are born hunters
| They value the girl who is not to be had
for the first asking. Not she who cheap

Odious mannerisms are fatal to a girl.
Gfggling simply maddens some men, One
girl missed becoming the wife of a nabob
because she .sniffled.' Making eyes"
as it is called, is seldom a binding fasci-
nation to the wife seeker.
Fast talk may attract men to some
girls+nay, it does. but men who hear a
girl tell or laugh at a risque story men
tally draw a line through her name as a
possible wife.
Vanity is inherent in both sexes. Men
usually have a goodly share. The girl
who can find out the vulnerable spot of
the eligible and skillfully fiatter thereupon
has covered the first round toward the
goal.
The tailor-made maiden is beloved of
all we'll bred men. The more quietly but
stylishly the girl is gowned the greater
admiration she will receive from Mr.
Mann. Moreover. She must be well shod
and never frayed as to petticoats.

enthralling as those having a low tim

laugh. They can be acquired.

There is a better reason than vanity,
however, Why girls who may become
wives should endeavor to become physi-
cally perfect.
