on worse than ever. When his death
actually did occur, Marianas intimate
friends wrote to her, congratulating her
on that event, and she thanked them in
notes inclosed in the most deeply black
edged envelopes.
Well. there are women who will un-
derstand.
At the autumn dinner we had not
many guests. Old Billy Fare, who goes
to dinners for the eating, was one.
After he had filed himself and shot off
at us his century old stock conundrum-
Who was the shortest man in the BIZ
BILE? Bildad the Shuhite. He, hawI
And who was the next shortest? Ne
high-miah. He, haw-he winked gem
tly away into ftful nappings. My
mother heard him spring that joke at
dinner parties forty years ago, and 1
have heard it six times a season ever
since came out. Lord, keep our men,
ories green enough not to repeat old
jokes.
Another guest was Santie Bosch, Ma
riana's stepcousin by marriage, a little
man with fiery red hair, which he
wears like Paderewski's because he is a
literary man in feeble way. He has
always with him some stopped over
verses of his own which he insists on
reading aloud, and people let him do it
because the nonresistant, Christian Sci
ence way is the easiest. So it was all
right.
But Santie Bosch was not altogether
a drawback to the feast if you contem-
plated him from the viewpoint of the
imagination, for, with his fiery hair,
black clothes and white shirt front,
you could think of him as the redhead-
ed woodpecker of the autumn land
scape and thus make him add to the
picturesque decorative effect.
But the whole thing, as it were, of
the masculine sex at this feast was

A CHARMING WOMAN.

Charm in woman does not consist of
beauty, prettiness or even moderate
good looks A dainty, neat appearance
and a sympathetic manner are all that
are necessary. The charming woman is
the woman who is sympathetic alike to
rich and poor, young and old.
When with others, she invariably
puts herself in the background and Is
more interested in listening to the re-
cital of their sorrows and joys than in
discoursing about herself.
She is a good listener. And this Is
perhaps the most important point of
all, because there are so many people
who are only too ready to talk and SO

wILHELMINA's WEAKNESS.

If the young queen of Holland has
one weakness which is more prominent
than another, it is her decided fondness
for pretty clothes. A story is told of
how on one occasion before Queen Will
helmina's marriage large assortment
of dress goods was sent to the palace.
and her mother proceeded to choose for
the queen some alpaca and plain mate

refused to abide by the selection and

the subject drop.
My life at present is mainly composed
of visits to the dressmaker, and L sup
pose this is true of nearly every wom-
an. You see. after horse show week the
season is fairly launched, and one must
have an infinity of gowns for every pos
sible occasion. From the horse show
itself l gathered many ideas which I
shall utilize in my winter wardrobe

tily in coffee colored broadc1oth, to go
with my blue fox furs, you know. Mrs.
keene'S gown was of blue checkerbOard
velvet, which means velvet stamped in
squareS-the latest thing. The skirt
was made with the front gore laid in v
shaped Strappings of bluet taffeta. In
the center of each strapping there was
a pretty art nouveau button. From
this front gore, rising slightly upward
as they reached the back, were three
bias f1ounces edged with curved strap

scarcely any fullness, but it was cut SO
as to flare into a full. long train. The
waist was charming-a mass of tiny
strappingS over a soft lace front The
Chinese sleeves We're especially effec-
tive, with their chevronlike strappings
and soft undersleeves.
One thing l could not help noticing
was the unity which prevailed in all
the costumes of the best dressed wom-
en- No more hat of one color and
gown of another. If a short coat was
worn, nine times out of ten the dress
was on the same shade, and the muff,
hat and boa reproduced different tint

comes from the wish on the part of
women to appear as stately as possi-
ble- All the lines of Dress perpendic-
ular trimmings, long trains, princess
effects, are tending that way, and it
seems a positive crime for woman to
be either short or stout.
A most stunning woman whose name

lazily watched the horses on the last
day of the show. She wore an entire
costume of black broadtail, and let me
tell you one thing-these broadtail tai
Tor mades are quite the SWEETEST things
yet discovered in the world of fashion.
This broadtail costume. then, which
bore the unmistakable imprint of a
great Paris house, was lined through

silk, of which distracting little glimpses
were caught every now and then. The

WEEPING PREsENr CUsroaf.

Giving wedding presents is an old
custom, but it differs in different coun-
tries. Scotlands penny weddings were
peculiar. They were called penny af-
fairs, but the invited guests contrib
uted shiilings and occasionally a half
crown, and out of the sums thus col
lected the expenses of the wedding
feast were paid.
Germany has a pay wedding" at
which the bride receives her guests
with a basin before her, in which each
person entering deposits a jewel, a sill
yer spoon or piece of money.
In some parts of Germany the rule is
that the expenses of the marriage feast
shall be met by each guest paying for
what he eats and drinks. The prices
paid for dishes nd drinks are high,
and the happy young couple make a
handsome profit out Of their wedding,
often realizing a sum sufficient to start
them pretty nicely in life. Often 300
guests are present at such a wedding.

cled by a carelessly knotted scarf of

underbrim was faced with closely tuck
ed turquoise chiffon.
One of the fashion prophecies of the
season is being rapidly disproved I
came to this conclusion as L looked
across the rows of boxes and noted the
gorgeous flower laden hats. There is
nothing like a rose to set off the fresh
complexion of young and pretty wom-
an, and she knows it. All the ostrich
feathers in the world cannot take the
place of flowers So whoever predicted
that flowers were to be tabooed this
season was greatly mistaken. How
ever, they will only be worn on dressy
occasions, and that is a relief from last
summers bad taste, when flower laden
hats were even seen with short skirts.
Miss MOroSini had on one of these
flower hats somewhat like that of Mu-
rielS in the sketch. You will notice
also, if you look about you, that there
is a tendency to place these flowers on
the underside of the brim instead of
around the crown as heretofore. This
is thoroughly Partisan idea and goes
with little hats of the popular ''cano-
tier shape

she is interested or no, she always tries

She changes her moods and her con-
