Woes of the tIutinee IDOL.

Yesterday with my morning mail, l
received an invitation to meet at an
afternoon affair a prominent matinee
idol. This sort of thing is getting to
be quite smart. All the debutantes
want to see their idols off the stage as
well as on. They want to ascertain if
he is as fascinating in frock coat as
when in dOublet and hose and armed
with a long rapier he slaughters doz-
ems OF his enemies. / am inclined to
think the matinee actor has hard time
of it. Sometimes, too. he gets awfully
bored Take Gillette, for example.
English society has gone fairly mad
over his quiet ways and his inscrutable
Sherlock Holmes smile. 1t appears that
at a recent affair the young women
present made to use a very vulgar
piece of slang, a dead set at him. One
titled girl of great wealth in particular
made no secret of her liking for him,
but he sat on, looking unutterably
bored, until the little child of his host
ess Unexpectedly appeared on the scene.
From that moment he devoted himself
entirely to the small girls amusement,
and no one else could get a word out
of him. l don't blame him either. I'd
far rather talk to a child than to half
the society girls of upper tendon. For
one thing, the child is honest and de-
void of silly affectations.

ceeded my allowance, and l simply
had to have a black brOadcloth tailor
made, so I went to all the shops and
looked at the ready mades. Why didn't
/ go to the tailors? Because he would
have charged me 500 for plain suit
in which l would have looked like a lit
tie widow, one of the demure, insignifi-
cant kind. To tell you the honest truth,
| hadn't the hundred to spend, and I
wanted a fancy suit too. Therefore l
looked at the ready mades. They were
all either horribly elaborate or else of
detestable quality; besides they didn't
seem to belong to me. My waist line
came where their waist line wasn't,
and. oh, Well to cut it short, I have IN
fortunately a French figure and moth
ing but a high priced Importation will
fit me So l went from store to store
despairinsly until just as l was leaving
the last place the saleSWoman brought
out French model. 1 didn't have to
be told it was French. Its chic lines
and elegant simplicity spoke for them
selves. Marked down to $50, the wo-
man commented. 1t was made under
the regulation thirty-siX size, and we
couldn't sell it." 1 slipped into it, or,
rather, it slipped around me. Every
curve, every line, fltted. Talk about
bargains That was one. Look at the
sketch and see of you don't agree with
me. l want you to notice particularly
the little standing collar, which leaves
an open space a couple of inches under
the chin. DO you know what l intend
to do with that Fasten an inner strap
of Persian panne across it so that the
strap will look like the collar of my
waist. Thanks TO this arrangement, I
may have on White linen collar and
a last years flannel waist underneath
my smart suit, and no one will be the
wiser. The jacket can be worn open,
too, and I am thinking of having the
lapels also faced with the Persian
panne, 1t is so fashionable. Did I men
ton that the trimming was composed
of stitched applications of velvet out
lined with narrow black silk braid?

ASTROI OCYA Brilliant and Depressed
= - nOLON l Capricorn Subjects

Some of the most commanding intellects
earth has known were Capricorners,
The founder of Christianity was under
this constellation. To the good of the
Capricorners it may be said that they
keep their promises more faithfully
than people of any other sign, and they
are loyal to their friends They are
brilliant takers and speakers, partly
perhaps because of the vein of serious
earnestness that runs through all their
thought and purpose. Mighty leaders
and organizers are born under this sign,
but their self distrust sometimes pre-
vents them from showing their true
ability. There never was conceited
person among these subjects, and they
sometimes ruin their lives by their diff
dence and want of self confidence.
Molehnls look like mountains to them.
There is a certain chicken heartedness
in Capricorn people that they ought to
work out of themselves at every cost.
They make noble teachers and very
successful ones.
With all their ability, their faults are
numerous. They are very set in their
ways. Religion appeals to them through
the observance of rules and outer cere-
monial so that, though often deeply or
thodox theologically, they may be abso-
lutte materialists so far as true spiritual
experiences are concerned. When spir

number of bachelors is steadily increas-
ing. Why, indeed, should a man marry
when he can have things so much his
own way?
Before close want to tell you some
thing funny. There is an acquaintance
of mine who is in rather reduced cir
cumstances. Imagine, then, my sur
prise when the other morning l met
her strolling along Fifth avenue dress
ed in an ultra smart tailor made and
holding by a silver leash a highbred
dog. The next day again I saw her,
this time with another dog even more
aristocratic looking than the last. Still
a third time l came across her, and this
time she led proudly along a bat cared

Mrs Teddy Van Alstyne's champion

contain my curiosity no longer. Guess
what she told me. She makes a neat
income and keeps herself in tailor made

years. He reports that Sc per cent of
them are afflicted with curvature of the
spine. In other lines of bodily I'M
soundness the percentage is also large.
1t almost looks as if the masculine sex
were deteriorating physically, while wo.
men are certainly rising in the scale.
In factories, stores and offices where
men and women are employed together
it is the men rather than the women
who break down and must be excused
for vacation to recuperate. The wo-
men pluckily hang on and stand up to
their task, perhaps for the sake of the
good name of wOmankind making it
point not to weaken.
Undoubtedly men are more unhy-
gienic in their habits than women are.
The constant smoking of cigarettes and
cigars, the late hours they keep, the
wild lawlessness of their eating and es-
pecially of their drinking, the foul, I'M
ventilated rooms in which they sit and
soak in tobacco smoke, must sooner or
later tell on the strongest. Man is the
unVentilated sex. With his present
physical habits, with his neglect of bod

athletic training and open air life, man

consider whether there is not danger
that he may lose his crown of physical
supremacy. LILLIAN GRAY.

A Graceful WALK.

In walking one should endeavor to
take a long, smooth, gliding step rather
than short, choppy one. By the latter
is meant the hippety, hoppety, little
jerky walk which many small women
affect and which always suggests to
the onlooker tight shoes.
No woman who can put her foot
down comfortably and firmly will ever
walk in this manner, and the firm,
steady walk, with its undulating glide,
that is as different as possible from a
masculine stride, improves the whole
appearance. To walk well and properly
one should transfer the weight of the
body from one leg to the other as each
is thrown forward in taking a step.
This throwing of the weight is ac-
companied by graceful, scarcely per-
ceptible swaying of the body The
weight of the body should come more
on the ball Of the foot than on the heel,
but the latter should slightly touch the
ground at every step. Walking on the
toes alone gives a finicky, dancing
school master look to the figure The
toes should be gracefully turned out ct
each step, and the leg should swing
loose from the hip.

Why Men Are Conceited.

While I am on the subject 1 might as
we'll speak my mind. 1t does seem to
me that the girls of our set are simply
spelling the men. For one thing, they
f1atter them and defer to them a great
deal too much. This spelling process
begins as soon as a man enters col
lege. and before he has finished his SEN
ior year a dozen girls are quarreling
over who shall capture him. No Won
der men are conceited. I should be
if I We're a man. In the good old
times, our mothers tell us, men used to
try to bring their conversation up to
the women's level. Now it's just the
opposite The men talk about what
they please, generally horses, dogs,
poker and such sporty subjects. Worse
still, they tell doubtful stories or retail
broad repartee from the music halls.

CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS

C. had presented to Miss Torbin Miss
Lankyhare eyed the book, turned over
the leaves, then Redeemed and looked as
if she would burst There were the
very passage in violet ink that she had
marked. II was the same volume. Mrs.
Golding had passed it on.
Miss Lankyhare determined to go at
once to Mrs Golding and tax her with
her perfidy, though she did not say this
to Miss Torbin, who remarked that she
would go along, too, and call on Mrs.
Golding Miss Lankyhare could not
shake her of. Mrs. Golding did not
make her appearance at once, and the
ladies examined with interest the
Christmas gifts displayed upon the ia
BILE One was silver plated pin tray
with the faintest possible dent in the
side, another was a handsome Christ
mas card. Both looked strangely IA
miliar to both. Miss Torbin snatched
the Christmas card and saw upon the
back a rough place where the original
Inscription had been erased and another
substituted The ladies looked at each
other with accusing eyes. Miss Torbin
spoke first.
"Ligretta Lankyhare, I'll never speak
to you again so long as 1 live! This is
the way you pass along to the next per-
son my presents to you, is it, because
you are too stingy to buy things?
Jane Torbin, don't care if you don't
speak to me again. you deceitful thing"
said Ligretta Here's this beautiful
tray 1 gave you last Christmas, and
you've gone and passed it on to Mrs.
Golding"
Meantime Mrs. Golding appeared, and
Miss Lankyhare, angry beyond bounds
of pride and prudence, was about to
open on her, but Mrs. Golding was first.
Miss Lankyhare," said she, two
years ago I gave you for Christmas this
silver pin tray. You passed it on, see,
to Miss Torbin, and Miss Torbin returns
it as a Christmas gift from herself to
me this year. 1t is too much! Our
friendship is broken
She disappeared without giving either
of the others opportunity to get in
word. Miss Torbin does not speak to
Miss Lankyhare, and neither speaks to
Mrs. Golding.
