WIEN WOMAN GOES SHOPPING

Who can fathom a woman's fancies or
predict what she will do next? She adver-
tises her pretty apartment for the sake OF
the persons 1t brings. to her door, and she
spends days in purchasing articles for when
she has no money to pay.
A well-dressed woman will look perhaps
at handsome silks, apparently with an idea
of purchasing. After great deliberation she
finally decides upon one, asks the clerk to
cut off four or five yards, as the case may
be, gives the man an address and requests
that the silk be sent C. o. D. Next morn
ing the delivery wagon goes to the address
given and finds vacant block or, perhaps,
no such number in the block. The returned
goods become remnants, and the little game
goes on.
Quite as surprising episodes take place in
the ready-to-wear departments woman
will enter and ask for a reception gown,
something handsome. She tries on.a number
of them and finally decides upon one at, say
$500. The girl who has succeeded in making
the sale is pleased at her good fortune, and
takes no end of pains about it. Alterations
are needed, and the customer asks that the
gown may be sent to her by special messen-
ger, as she wishes to wear it that evening.
The girl who has made the sale remains
after hours taking a personal interest in il,
and, as the customer has an account, the
gown is sent. The next day she returns,
asks for the saleswoman and says: II wish

are shocked at the suggestion. 'Of course

to his astonishment, in the baeksof the re-

When explained it seemed credible enough.
The cook was preparing dinner, the house
maid dressing. The bell rang, cook an
swered it, took parcel from the messenger,
and, intent on dinner, she noticed her refrig-
orator door open. Absent mindedly she
placed the parcel inside as she closed the
door and the article seemed lost.
Is it any wonder that big shops have
stringent rules OF that good-natured en-
pioyes are at a premium?

embroidered on them. Donations of linen
were still continued, but the abuse was
stopped by cutting off all the decorations
before it left the household. To the per-
son of moderate means the care her linen
receives makes years of difference in its
wear. Thin spots can be daintily darned
before they become holes, and the best
thread to use in darning damask is the
finest Of embroidery cotton, while If an
embroidery hoop or frame is used to keep
the cloth in place the work can be more
neatly done than if held by hand.
Fashion has decreed that lavender is the
sachet to be used in the linen closet, ana

Now that the dressmakers and milliners

Care Of Linen.

With persons of wealth linen is at once
discarded as it becomes at all worn, and in
the royal household of England it long has
been the custom to give the least linen
to hospitals or poor gentlewomen. During
Queen yictorias lifetime an abuse crept
in, and it was discovered that persons
were. selling this linen for high prices on
account of the monogram, crown and arms

capes edged with velvet, velvet collars,
shawl-shaped or bishop sleeves finished with
wide velvet cuffs and with facings of velvet
down the front. The colorings are exqu-
site in all the light pastel shades, and the
Innings are of satin shade lighter, or Of
fur. A fad of the moment is to line a cloth
coat with the most expensive of fur. which
