The Mannish Maid Puts on Frill..

The very mannish girl seems to have
taken her departure from our midst.
Indeed shc was conspicuous by her alb
sence last GUNNER, for even in the
morning. when arrayed in stiff shirt
waist and carefully laundered skirt,
the maids ran to ribbon stocks rather
than linen collars, and their hats be-
trayed more of leaning toward fri
volity than was ever evinced by the
moribund sailor-a distinct advantage
for the glrly girl.
This season the high linen collar,
white shirt front and stiff tie that were
once considered both proper and be-
coming are seldom worn with the tailor
frock. but it is relieved with all the
soft little touches of chiffon and lace
and fur that feminine ingenuity can
devise. says the Baltimore News.
1t must be admitted that the frilly
girl Is distinct improvement over her
more severe sister The latter is neat
to a degree, with the attractive sever
ity that is displayed by girl in a rid
ing habit, and she looks fit to transact
any business, from buying stocks to
selling pins. with those bands of
"enameled" linen at throat and wrists,
but the other is so much softer and
more feminine. at least in appearance,
that she exercises n stronger charm
for those for whose good opinion each
woman strives. however strenuously
she may deny 1.-THE men-and she is

The Buds BOuUuet.

There is no going behind the rule re.
garding debutantes' bouquets. and here
we come very often upon pathetic
skeleton in the closet of an ambitious
but not too pretty or too popular social
bud. Having issued her cards, bought
her fine gowns and ordered her deli
cate wines and viands. she and her
mother sit with palpitating hearts to
watch her bouquets arrive. The friends
Of her family and the young men in
the society she Is entering are sup
posed to send them, and, to appear TO
proper advantage it is obligatory that
she receive with not one or two but
dozen huge nosegays about her.
SO obligatory, indeed. Is this feature
OF the coming OUT that not one girl
in n dozen ever receives from her ad
mirers half the bouquets she appears
with on her reception day, but stands
embowered in the posies ordered up
from the florist by her diplomatic par
ents. However. society enjoys its self
deception. and to such an extent has
the bouquet fad grown that this win

Three years ago Chicago jeweler
calculated that he would in all prob
ability live forty years. Then he de-
cided to make clock that would have
to be wound but once in forty years.
He spent his odd minutes at the task,
and has succeeded in producing a Won
derful piece of mechanism-the only
one of its kind, he claims, in the world.
This forty-year timepiece is fifteen
inches in diameter, and weighs seventy
five pounds. The movement is geared
so that the barrel-wheel containing the
handspring revolves once in two and a
half years. When this wheel has made
fifty-six revolutions somebody will have
to give the key seventeen turns. The
clock will then be wound up for another
forty years. The first wheel from the
barrel moves round at the rate of one
turn a year. The dial plate is six inches
in diameter. The making of the work
took most of the jewelers. leisure for
twenty months. The movement is
fully jeweled. The clock has been put
in Theoretically sealed glass case, and
it works in a vacuum, thus lessening
friction and preventing the oil from
drying.
