with reputation smiled, as If she thought
that rather a tribute to her powers, and
went on with the anecdote.

There are two kinds of men; one who

In small town not far from New York,
recently says the New York Times, one
of the natives was In store, shopping.

eral appearance of wealth and patrlcian
origin. Many of the residents of the
town are people of wealth, and summer
visitors are usually persons of money and
position. She was visiting the shop because
she wished lett r paper. Would she have
box of paper?' the shopkeeper asked.

Why. she only wanted little paper; she

few sheets Of paper. We'll" said the
shopkeeper, politely, II think you will
find just what you want in that little
shop across the street where they sell
supplies for school children" And the
richly dressed stranger departed, and in
a few moments emerged from the little

and contented expression upon her face.
The waiting native, who had witnessed
the incident, feeling rather ashamed for

Women are peculiar sometimes, aren't
they?"
Dear me-" exc aimed the shopkeeper,
heaving a sigh of self-sympathy, that's

number of New York women are just
now discussing the subject as TO whether
| the average man is not more particular
about his appearance than the average
| woman. This queetion has come up over
bathing suits. There have been a series
of bathing parties to one Of the beaches
by a little party of friends. The women
have all gone into the water, some with
their own bathing suits. the others wear
ing any they happened to get through the
little window in the bathing house. But
while the women were always ready to
take the chance of being made guys, the
two sedate married men of the party alb
solutely refused to do so. They were as
anxious to go into the water, apparently
but they were not willing to go unless
there was a certainty that they would
have suit broad enough In the back and
long enough in the leg to give them the
dignified appearance they felt they should
present If that doesn't prove positively
that men have more vanity than women
the women say. what proof could you
have?
Alas" sighed he woman whose one in
| SEPARATION to eloquence is dress, how few
| women worship that subtle thing called
| cut They confound ii with fit which is
another virtue good cut is the most
rare and most economical thing in dress
making A gown of good cut may be
easily reflted 10 almost any normal figure
while a gown of a poor cut fits no one but
her for whom it was made; and though 1t
fits her like glove; II is a fit and nothing

| That fitting like glove is but poor
| workwoman's cover for lack of cut. If
there must be a choice between cut and
| ft, chose cut.
But to have both is the ideal of dress
ing. Cut is the sweep line, the individu-
atty the grace of curve or rigor; and cut
like all other artistic finish, will long out

to be dissatisfied unless they have room
for change in their wardrobes. and yet it

means to have many gowns that carry the
stamp Of cut upon them-that unmistaka-
