A crab had pinched her toe
And though at that momentous time
Her screams were plainly heard
Yet when a lobster squeezed her wal,

seemed to have so little relaxation In their
strife Of wealth. IT'S a hard life, that OF
the well-to-do American citizen, but he
never complains, and goes on week after
week with punctilious regularity, raklng
in dollars for his wife to spend.
American women do spend. there Is no
mistake about that. One drops into the
Holland house, the Waldorf, Sherry's or
Delmonico's. and finds these good ladies
lunching or dining together in twos or in
dozens. 1t is quite surprising to the Brit
Usher to see the way women in the States
constantly lunch and dine alone together,
their men being either too tired or too
busy to join them. These good ladies order
the most recherche little repasts; they
rarely drink anything but iced water, and
they seldom smoke-that is a vice, or vir-
tue. pertaining to European shores. Ocea-
s~ionally an American woman takes a cock
tail before dinner composed Of one or more
spirits, in which an olive or a cherry re-
poses, but she never orders wine or spirit
at the meal itself. At table America ap-
pears a land of teetotalers.
This entertaining at public restaurants
probably arises a good deal from the COM
plexity Of the servant question. Servants
may be a difficult problem in England, but
1t is nothing there compared with the States.
The republican b~ringing-up does not allow
an American to accept service under any
one, therefore there are no real Americana
servants at all, while there are over 70, OO0,-
600 OF people in that vast country more or
less requiring domestics. They consequently
have to put up with the worst class Of Irish
servants Who cannot get situations at home,
and therefore try their luck in the New
World-or darkies, The darkies make ex-
cellent buffers and cooks and seem born
for those positions. In consequence OF
these domestic difficulties the women them
selves add to their other charms house
wifely instincts. They not only know how
to run a house, but are generally able to
do the work themselves should necessity
arise. Everything is, of course, reduced to
a minimum in the way of labor; electric
light has taken the place Of lamps, baths
adjoin every bedroom, which does away
with the necessity of carrying water, while
basins with hot and cold water laid on are
universal.
Yes, these American women live their
lives apart from their men folk. They in
vent pretty little dishes for luncheon par
ties, invite their friends to come and test
them as epicures, or dine together at res
taurants. They have their boxes at the
opera, they run over to Europe every two
or three years, they appreciate art and
music, they belong to clubs in which Gull
ture is written with a big G. they read and
hold debates on all sorts of subjects and
are Just as delightful to talk to as they can
possibly be. Their lives are as full Of diver
sized interests as their husbands are CEN
tered In one groove. The husbands never
have time to hunt, shoot, golf. cricket or
tennis; they simply toll week in, week out.
The leisured class is unknown and the ath-
letic business man a rarity.

vertical tucks give the requisite body. A
coat trimmed will cape tucks, touches Of
cigar brown taffeta and its front laid In
straight pleats, opens a trlfe TO show a
cream white lawn skirt that buttons in the
rear and is finished with a hlghfolded
satin ribbon collar with lace turnovers.
1t is materials Of this character that
have all but routed the heavier serges and
cheviots we used to wear through the hot
weather in spite OF our sufferings. Such
wool gowns as we cling TO for midsummer
use are woven as veilings and a crop Of the
smartest little summer costumes show the
combination Of figured taffeta or Louisfne
with wool transparencies. A smart toilet
In two tones Of green displays a skirt
back and waist top Of pale mignonette
green Louisine figured in delicate black
circles combined with a sun pleated skirt
bottom and waist body Of darker mignonette
green wolfe. The wool and silk do not
clash, but blend tremendously, and a
braid, made Of plain green silk artistically
encrusted with black lace, follows the line
of connection between the two fabrics.
With all these suits, be they Of silk. wool,
pique, lawn or linen. slippers are univer-
sally worn; black suede, h~igh-heeled and
Polnted-toed for the house, and outdoors
black Russia leather which Is only a very
fine grade OF calfskin treated with a dry
Instead Of al oiled finish. Yellow shoes
have vanished like the SHOWS OF last year,
but white canvas ties and smart walking
slippers made Of vanished and dull nn-
ished leather are among the warmly well
coined novelties. A narrow toe, a Colonial
heel, a broad eighteenth century instep
flap and a huge black gros grain silk bow
are the important points about these white
afternoon shoes. In some cases the bows
in walking slippers will be changed to
match the gowns with VIII h they are
worn, and very often, in place Of the gilt
and silver buckles adopted by our revolu-
tionary f~orefathers, longer and narrower
buckles enameled wholly in solid red, blue,
green and purple will hold the centers OF
the broad ribbon bow knots.
Socks and strapped, fat-heeled slippers
are on the other hand the summer COM
forts Of the well dressed children, and
mothers of 6, 7 and s-year-old daughters
have taken a vast deal OF pleasure in pur-
chasing for the youngsters pretty and very
elegant little afternoon frocks of guipure
or of Irish lace, and sometimes Of two laces
combined in vertical bands to fall over
under slips of colored taffeta. For 6-year-
olds these luxurious little lace robes fall
straight from neck to knee and are con-
fined only at the waist line in the rear
by a broad ribbon bow that matches the
under slip. MARY DEAN.

of young and pretty ones have leaned to the
collarless gown for afternoon and country
functions.
This idea is very clearly set forth in the
sketch of a smart little embroidered blue
silk muslin, made up with garlands of
Lierre lace and a deep bounce OF plain blue

very fiat neck. A dog collar Of blue vene-

the Egyptian and Italian bead necklets and

islands. These shell chains are very fragile,
but they are also inexpensive and their

WOMAN
American Type of FeminInty from an
English View Point.

There is no denying the fact. says the
London Mail, that American women are
perfectly charing. They are bright, clever,
smart and cherry.
We see the best and the worst Of them
In England. The best are those who come
with good introductions and are immedi-
ately received into London society; the
worst are those whose "poppas" have made
a pile within a few years, and being prac-
tically uneducated themselves and wishing
their wives and daughters to be quite up
to-date, pack them off to Europe with
some thousands Of dollars in their pockets
to improve their manners and their minds.
We tumble across this latter class Of
Americans all over the continent and in
England. The woman talks loud and in a
high-pitched key with a nasal twang, she
''guesses" all along the line, she pays twice
as much as she ought to for everything
because she thinks it is aristocratic to do
SO, little knowing how poor true aristocrats
often are. Her children, whom she gen.
orally has in tow, are one degree worse
than herself. Those children are what one
kindly terms precocious. They take late
dinners, their elders to theaters
and do their best to wear out their juvenile
minds and bodies. These are the Yankees
to be avoided.
The American woman one meets in the
United States Is a very different person.
Generally tall and we'll built, she dresses
to perfection, and usually suitably. Her
best gowns come from Paris-she willingly
pays so per cent duty on their carriage
and her tailor-made ones are built on her
side Of the herring pond-there are no bet
ter tailors anywhere than can be found in
the States. She is a fine make Of a woman,
and her cloth gowns suit her-it is the
style of garment she generally dons, and
the only practical kind for everyday use
in a land where life is spent in and out Of
ramcAss or elevated railways. In muddy
weather she is practical and has her skirt
cut several inches off the ground-no pre-
short enough to clear her shoes or her
boots.
She is an extravagant person, this Amer
lean woman, for she spends twice, II not
three times. as much on her dress as her
English sister, and she certainly knows how
to make money fly in every direction. Is
this not a little hard on the poor husbands a?
They nave developed into mere money
making machines, and yet it is their own
fault; they are utterly unselhsh as far as
their women folk are concerned. They
want their wives to be smarter than anyone
else, their houses to be in the most fash
ionable quarter. and. above all. their din
ners to be described in the papers! For
this they are willing to pay. Up early, a
hurried breakfast and OF to the once they
go. They work hard all day in a pande-
monium: luncheon is a scrappy entertain
ment. afternoon tea is unknown and they
arrive home for their Z o'clock dinner dead

order to gain the benefits accruing from

Some COnveniencies for Rustic Living
During summer.

A cosy corner on the avn is a matter of
shelter. In these days of scientific hygiene
and health hunting, it is not enough to sit
on your wide veranda and breathe pure
oxygen; you must get out on the grass and
down upon the very bosom Of Mother Earth
and strive to secure some of her precious
electric and magnetic forces. This hunt for
earth magnetism has brought about the in
vention of the portable bamboo and rattan
summer house. the striped cotton water
proof tent and carloads Of furniture, espe-
