PARIS, April 5.--A trip to Paris with
the exposition thrown in as a sort of side
show, is Just now the scheme for summer
excursion which many an American
woman is figuring with diligence and de-
termination. Her proposition, nine cases
out Of ten, is to take advantage OF this
unusual combination of attractions on an
allowance that would just about buy Mrs
Aston a spring gown, and fantastic as
this may sound. if she is woman 10

Paris, makes any appeal, such an appaI-
entity impossible achievement can be com
passed as easily as any ordinary vacation
tour.
Paris is city where there are at least
3G5 nice cheap and interesting methods
of living. and while it is perfectly certain
that from the LIST of May until the LIST of
November the hotels and boarding houses
will be crowded at the highest prices this
need not in the least discourage or debar
countless little groups OF feminine cxplor-
ers from invading the gay capital and see

To arrive at this desirable end Jet any
woman or women, with Paris as an OBJ
iectiye point remember that cooperation
is the secret of true economy and that
there is strength in combination. To trav-
Ell alone is both costly and unsafe for fem
ininity in Europe, but if an enterprisine
spirit can persuade two, or better STILL

luck at foreign travel on the above named
sum. As the statements made are all
drawn from ,ery actual and successful ex-
perience they can be accepted at their full
value Number one of expense items TO be
considered is the steamship passage. There
are many good lines giving low rates that

Can You Wear Whitet

White is very properly a favorite dress
for summer 1t is cool, becoming. and eff
fective. but Notwithstanding this combina-
ton of virtues, it should be avoided by the
stout woman.
Every feminine who has an overabun-
dance OF too, too solid flesh is perfectly
aware of the exaggerated effect that light
colors give, and yet one sees any number
OF these ladies' wearing costume consist
ing of white shirt waist and skirt that
makes them look like moving mountain
of snow.
Not always a cool mountain. either for
pique the material generally selected by
the stout ones, is far from being cool
fabric.
The fimy black that one sees now would
be infinitely more becoming and equally as
cool. so one wonders that il is not oftener
worn by this class of persons Instead
with that strange inconsistency for which
femininity is noted, one sees slim girls
wearing gowns of black organdie or lawn
over slips of black taifeta while their
n.ammas t1udge laboriously beside them
looking like ships under full sail in their
yoluminous snowy gowns.
Summers a time of latitud- TO be sure.
It's time when even that hoIaely grub,
man, develops into a butterfly without re-
buke. and anything eccentric in the ward
robe line that woman chooses TO assume
goes But it's also time when the be-
coming should be especially considered.
It takes all the art Of which a woman
is mistress to enable her to look well
with the mercury high up in the tube.
when her face is flushed and her hair out
o. curl and she pants for breath, so it's
nothing but a melancholy lack of taste
that induces her if she's overlarge, to
add to these deplorable conditions a
voluminous frock that greatly exagger-
ates her size by its lack of color.
There are unusually beautiful thin ma
terials in black this season, any of which,
made with long lines and fitting easily,
would apparently cause a greatly-to- be-
wished-for reduction in size.

NEW YORK. April 14.-"well I call
them fearfully smart" announced the girl
from Chicago, in her high. clear soprano
voice. 1t caught both the hostess ear and
interest 10 the extent that she brought
herself across to the bay window where
Miss Chicagoese and Mrs. Back Bay were
sampling hon-bons and arguing with the
passive ferocity becoming the first languld,
warm day of the season.
Whom began the hostess, soothingly
have you seen lately worthy of such high
praise?''
Well, you see answered the girl this
unappreeiative woman and went for calls

chocolate they served were rather oppres-

dreadfully unoriginal-but presently a

of them was a balm to the eyes. They

quaintance and ask them where they got
