Lovely woman at an Auction Sale.

Did you ever study a lovely woman al
an auction sale? asks CLARA Belle in
the Cincinnati Enquirer. ] observed one
at this weeks sale of rare books and
brsc-a-brac. She sat behind a man who
had made up his mind to buy Farmers
Analogues'' if the price wasn't beyond
reason. or If ne missed that to catch the
"Amer.icanisms.' The. latter work was
In sight when the man next him got UP,
and the woman from behind slipped into
the place. Wont YOU tell me if they
have got to Lot LOO yet?" she asked
you know, people talk to. each other at
auctions He had only to observe the
TWIST of her earnest eyebrows to know
s;no Was thinking of the auction, and that
he might quite as well be the girl at
the catalogus table as a man. I'VE are

Golrplayins Benefits the Nerves.

A young woman whose opinion is Dached
I'D by experience says that golf-playlnS
has proved very beneficial in producing
steadiness of nerve among women. writes
Dorothy O. in the Brooklyn Eagle. The
nature of the game and the exhilarating
outdoor atmosphere inyigorate and slim
ulate the nerves, and fit the woman LOT
greater effort ana better seht-control-
One of the most eXasperating features
however in connection with the game,
from a feminine point of view, is tie
injunction of silence; and yet 1t is TINS
very point that trains in self-control, for
the player soon learns that silence Is
golden when her attention is engaged
with the ball. and that if she is to score
we'll she must think and act rather than
chatter. According to this young woman,
the golf course is perhaps the best schooi.
in which the boycotting of coquetry IS
taught Furthermore, while the fever
of golf is relentless when it takes hoid
of a woman, and under its fascinating
influence she forgets her worst domestic
tragedies. her best friends, and has no
time for Browning readings and musi-
Gales, or the like, the consequences in tEls
direction are offset by the beneficial erect
upon temperament, for it serves to Solid
ifv her ambitions, straighten her
Judgment calm her impulses and 2ontrol
her temper The universal testimony IS
that indulgence in golf causes a man TO
forget everything else, but. whether the
effect upon temper and general welfare
are equal to those claimed for the woman
Dlaver, is not SO generally stated.

Dressing the Neck.

There has never been time when
SO much. attention was paid to dressing
the neck becomingly. The neckwear this
spring is Of seemingly endless variety.
We have neckwear for the street. for
the. theatre, for the dance, for the links.
Lace collars berthas and fischus trim
med with lace are among the most fash
ionahle neckwear. The fitted cape collars
that lock- like yokes are exceedingly
good investments, for they can be worn
with evening or day gowns. and they
certainly add a great deal to the appear
ance of a plain waist. One of the novel
ties for the girl of 1900 is copied after
tie collar her grandmother wore when
she put on her best gown and sat for her
daguerreotype. Some of the flat lace
collas are cut sailor fashion, some in
square tabs. The newest are made OF
mousseline de sole, appliqued, with lace
designs, but the lace is so arranged that
but little of the mousseline shows. Honi-
ton, renaissance. and duchess are the
laces most used for these collars.
The dong throat needs high collars,
broad ribbons and many fields, while
the Short one should be dressed accord
ingly.

Don,ts for Dancers.

Don't imagine that you and your part

Don't waltz when others are dancing

Legend of the ToDaz.

The topaz is called the stone Of graft
tude and the old Roman books record
the following 1eGand from which the
stone derives its attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used to
hang a brazen gong before his palace
gates and sit beside them on certain
days, hearing and putting to right the
grievances Of any Of his subjects. Those
who wished for his advice and help had
but to sound the gong. and Immediately
admission into the presence of Caesa!
was obtained.
One day a great snake crept UP to the
gate and struck the brazen gong with her
coils, and Theodosius gave orders that
no one should modest the creature, and
oade her tell them her wish. The snake
bent her crest lowly in homage and
straightway told the following tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower, and While She had gone to
find food for her young brood strange
beast covered with sharp needles had in
vaded her home killed the nestlinss and
now held possession of the little dwell
ling. Would Caesar grant her justice?
The Emperor gave orders for the Dor
cupine to be killed and the mother TO be
restored to her desolate nest. Night
fell, and the sleeping void had forgotten
the Enrporor's kindly deed, but with the
early dawn a great serpent glided into
the palace, up the steps into the royal:
chamber and laid upon each of the En-
peror's closed eyelids cleaning topaz.
When Emperor Theodosus awoke he
found he was no longer blind, for the
mother snake had paid her debt of graft
