The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-02-18

The first results from the long hours spent
standing before a mirror in a tailor's fit-
ting room, caught in a brier patch of pins
while the proper line of coat or skirt is
achieved. There is no royal road to a
glove fitting tailor suit save by posing
hours at a time without fiinching, a species
of endurance and slavery only the mod
ern woman has ever known, and the con-
sequence of which is hordes of exquisite
ly gowned woman, palled of cheek and
haggard of eye, hurrying here for cleo
trio treatment and big business for the
masseuse. AS to the milliners squint-"
But here the reporter dropped in a modest
inquiry that the petticoated Galen listened
to quite good naturedly.
NOW, my dear young friend" she an

that shopping is about the heav-
lest task feminine mind and
muscle are called upon to en-
dure. 1t is the kind of responsibility that
paves the way TO nervous prostration, and
the worst of il is shopping grows a more
complicated and exhausting duty every
day. A half century ago If y Fashionable
member of society devoted two hours out
of every twelve to her dress, she was en-
abled to keep right up to the standard of
the mode. To-day four hours will hardly
suffice for the mere purchasing and trying
on, and for every one dress requisite
twenty years ago five are now essential
for the keeping up of appearances; and
while the demands in dress have grown
greater the facilities for securing the elab-
crate costuming necessary are not i'm
proved. We physicians are able to real
ize this because of the curious and omi-
nous human ailments that are the out
growth of overtaxing the system at shop
ping
For example there is hardly a week
goes by that am not called in to look aft
er a well defined case of dressmaker's
mysteries directly due TO great mental and
muscular exhaustion over a gown that the
constituencies seamstress fails to send
home in time for the date and occasion for
which it has been planned. These attacks
are invariably aggravated by the hus-
band, who jokes or jeers at the very mo-
ment when every soothing influence Is
needed for the sufferer 1 have known
distinctly serious cases of nervous proStra-
ton following too much fitting and match
ing succeeded by too frequent disappoint-
ments.
"Ten years ago the tailor made spine,'
as we call 1t now for lack of a better
name and the milliner's squint,' were al
most unknown to physicians. whereas at
present we deal with such Affections daily.

TALLIEs FOR CARD PARTIES.
Key Chains, Bracelets, Neck Chains
and Number of New Trides.


New York. Feb. 1s,-There is a
charm about che progressive card
party (which never grows stale. AS
a means of entertaining 1t is too easy and
pleasant to ever become old fashioned. All
are striving to have a bit of originality
prominent at those they conduct. FIRE.
quently this desire finds vent in the tai
lies that are necessary at such affairs. In
fact the regulation cards with stars TO
paste upon them and which have passed
through so many ylcissitudes are now sell
dom seen. other things have been de-
vised to take their places. Recently at a
smart card club in New York, bracelets
and key rings were made to do service for
TALES The idea was quite ingenious. A
good natured jeweler had been taken into
the scheme and for the women had sim
ply bent heavy copper wire into the
shape of bracelets. AT the ends they
were twisted in a similar way to hooks
and eyes and so fastened about the arm.
For the men key rings were made, also
of copper wire somewhat lighter in weight
When the party began, therefore, the
guests were respectively presented with
these trinkets;and as the game progressed
little bells were passed about to be hung
on those of the winners, while those that
were so unfortunate as to lose the games
had given to them small brass charms in
che shape of clowns and little pigs. They
were also Slipped at once upon the rings.
Throughout the evening the iingling of
these little things made a merry sound
nor was the idea an expensive one to
carry out. over seventy people were pres
ent, at the mentioned party. and the whole
of the tables only cost a little over $40.
Another pretty idea is to make pin
cushions for tailies. Those for the women
are fashioned of bright red cloth and are
Ia the shape OF hearts and diamonds. They
