Paris critics are now enthusiastic
over 16-year old girl whose marvel
Gus singing and acting seem to prom
Use for her a great future. Her name
is Marthe Pierat, and she made her
debut at the Odeon. On the day after
her first appearance the Paris jour
nails eulogized her voice, her acting
and her beauty, until the name Sec
ond Bernhard has come to be quite
commonly applied to her. 1t Is stated
she takes her triumph calmly and al
together as a matter of course, but
her friends say that she is in no
danger of being spoiled by early adj
miration. She is conscientious
artist, with ambition. energy and ten
acity. Her beauty is said to be fas-
cinating, and the simplicity and nat
uralness of her manners would have
made her famous even had she not
been blessed with the additional gifts
of musical and histrionic ability.

Beyond peradventure fashion rules:

plains that in England Queen Alexan-

Queen, then Princess, donned a high

woman of fashion "ftted her neck to
the yoke like an obedient OK"
"On this side of the water We have
no official arbiter of modes. no courts
or royalties to determine the disputed
issues Of fashion. Nevertheless, there
is in this country standard as fixed
as that of England or France. In each
of our large cities enc or more women
are recognized as social leaders, whose
fiat on questions of etiquette and pre-
cedence is all-supreme; but it is to
a little coterie in the metropolis,
whose wealth. position, beauty and
taste render them independent of cayil
or criticism, that we look for guidance
in the matters OF fashion.
"As much at home on one side OF
the Atlantic as on the other, these
women arc entirely free from the diff

with unerring discrimination, they in
variably select what best accords with

CARELESS of how the rest of the world
may look upon the innovation. AS a

usually tumbles over itself in its
haste to follow in their footsteps.
These are the women who form
the oligarchy of fashion in America,
the supreme council before whose bar
the conceptions Of tailor and milliner
and bootmaker must stead, to be
either adjudged worthy or ruthlessly
condemned and cast into outer dark

The electric lamp has kept pace
with the development along artistic
lines that is apparent in all branches
OF household fitments. The incandes-
cent lamp is now admitted to the din
ing table, although until recently the
incandescent burner was thought to
shed too pitiless glare to be desir
able for dining table illumination. The
glare has been ingeniously softened.
and at a recent dinner the electric
lamp, which occupied the centre of
the table was the most effective decor
alton that could be imagined. The
pedestal and supporting column were

grouped charming female figures in

burners were shaded by glass globes

Of pearls in rose-white tint, and the
light shone through with softened
glow that was delightful Brooklyn

The Care OF tho Nails.

A young woman who has been liv-
ing in Paris for year says that no
French manicure who treated her
hands used a cuticle knife about her
nails or a steel nail-cleaner. The little
orange-wood sticks sharpened to a
broad point were used 10 push back
the encroaching cuticle, and to clean
the nails after each washing of the
hands. In this way the delicate en-
amel of the nail is not injured, and
the under surface of the nail point is
kept smooth. The French manicures,
too, polish more often with bit OF
chamois rather than regular poll
Usher, and cut the nails with clipper
instead of curved scissors. These clip
pers come in pairs. one for cutting
the nails of each hand Emery boards
or a velvet file is recommended for the
little filing needed to shape the nails.
Never cut the cuticle around the nail,
but press back lightly with the orange
wood stick. Daily brief care when the
nail is soft from the use of soap and
water is all that Is needed to keep
the hands in good condition with a
weekly manicuring. Use lemon juice
instead of any other acid to remove
stains Harper's Bazaar.

A clever New York woman, who

is now developing a novel adjunct to
her business. which is finding hearty
cooperation from the real estate
dealers. To sell or lease a house or
apartment. agents have discovered
that interior appearance at the time
OF inspection greatly facilitates.
There is more money to be made in
proportion out of rental of fur
nished house or apartment than from
those unfinished. People who go to
New York merely for season or two
desire artistic settings which are out
Of their reach save at large expendi-
ture. This clever woman has accu-
mulated large aSsoltments of antique
furniture, picked up at auction for
song, and she is an acknowledged con-
nosseur. This furniture she leases to
guaranteed parties. She co-operates
with firm Of women real estate deal
ers. The latter, for example, have an
apartment which rents unfinished
for $50; the decorator fits it up with
her antiques, which give the appear
ance of wealth, and the rent rises to
say 500. Fifty dollars monthly soon
pays the decorator for the outlay, and
once the furniture is paid for, repairs
excepted. 1t may be rented repeatedly
at clear profit. 1t is stated that the
two apartments fitted up in this man
ner paid for tho furniture in less
than three months and increased the
business of the agents to such an ex-
tent that they are unable to meet the
demands for such apartments.
