|FTONOGRAH GIRL IS EVERYWHERE

NEW YORK, July 5.-The summer
girl of 1902 is the slave of monograms.
There must be monograms, big ones,
on every garment she wears, and a
pitiful show indeed will a girl make at
the fashionable resorts unless she is
generously labeled with the initials of
her name.
To have ones initials on the hand
kerchief has been fashionable from
time immemorial, but now the mono
gram must adorn the shirt waist, the
gown, the stockings, the shoes and
their buckles, the carriers, and the
dainty garments of linen, cambria
and lace with which milady adorns
herself Yc
The monograms are from two inches
to two and one-half inches high, and
broad in proportion, and, on the shirt
waists, they may be on the front, on
| the arm, on the shoulder or at the
waist.
For the stockings the location gen.
orally adopted is at the front, Just be-
| low the knee, and the letters there are
three times as large las those used on
| other garments.
The Buckle Monogram.
The garter has two monographs, one
| embroidered in thess goods, and the
| other engraved on the buckle. while
A1lG IIlOnOSEdIll lOI Lie SDOG is placed
on the side, with another engraved on
| the buckle.
| On the white petticoat the adorn-
ment finds it's place on the front just
| above the hem, where, if the day is
| tempestuous, it may be seen and ad-
mired by the passing throng.
Thus, each girl in Christendon, if
| she would be up-to- date, will become
! known outside of her own circle by
her label, and it may be said to pre-
| sent d living riddle to those who have
| not been able to learn her name
! Some girls will undoubtedly pride
| themselves on the sphinx like charac-
ter of their monographs, aside from in
tracies of design, while others will
blush painfully under the knowledge
| that their names are being blazone6
forth to everybody.
The sanonogram IN. A. s." will, OF
| course, signify Mary Ann Smith,
| and an introduction to Miss Mary will
| scarcely require the mention of hel
| name.
Her cousin, Gladys Mae Betty
Smith, will sail along supremacy con-
| scious that the q. M. IS. S." inter
woven in delicately colored silks or
her shoes viii not identify her with
her pretty feet.
A Sample Introduction.

Tottie Waldorf, of the chorus she will
know that the mystffying ''T. W." or
her open work stockings will tell moth.
ing to the rudely staring throng
One may overhear the introduction
of young man at Narragansett Pier
to fair divinity of the place, and ther
this conversation:
II saw you on the ocean the othel
day." says the presented one, "an(
have spent ALI my stime since tryins
to figure out your name"
Really" murmurs the divinity. 1T
my monogram as plain as that?"
At Seabright, Charles Van Twille
will salute his friend thus: 81 say, ole
chap, l saw you yesterday with tina
new arrival. *; Y. g. M Who is she
anyway"
In fact, wherever girls are talked
about, much of the conversation il
bound to be by cabalistic initials Ho
ratio will get away from his friend b.
telling him that he wants to drop ii
a moment on tx. X to make an EN-
gagement for the next day, and an
other chap will declare that if TX.
G." does not show him more consider
alton she will be lonesome for the res
of the season so far as he is concerned
