A Change In New York.

Women visitors to New York will be
happy to learn that after theater hours
or at any other time in the evening, in
fact, they can nowadays go to a hotel
restaurant or any other restaurant and
be served without having n male es-
cort. Not long ago no woman, indeed
no two women, unescorted by man
could in the evening find a first class
restaurant where they would be per-
mitted to dine. The Waldorf Astoria
was the originator of the neg state of
affairs. In the best hotels now women
and girls sit about in the large assem-
bly, rooms, read their newspapers,
write their letters at the many little
desks or chat with one another with an
ease of manner unknown few years
ago. Formerly woman felt uncom-
Portable and was stared at if she ap-
peared in the Office at hotel. But all
this has changed.

The Kitchen.

"The best and most beautiful room in
the house should be the kitchen, where
ones friends should gather while the
hospitable preparation goes on, and
would have the cooking done by my
wife and daughters and myself" says
Professor Gulick of Brooklyn.
1.-THE modern chatting dish is healthy
and praiseworthy reversion to the ear
lier social aspect of eating, and it may
bring back that finer element of hospi-
tality which has been lost in later lux
urious and artificial modes of living.
Some of us have experienced in
camp life perhaps the delight of enter
ing a spacious room with a great fire
place above which were ranged the
cleaning vessels and watching the
preparation for the meal to which we
were invited. The feelings of guest
under such circumstances are vastly
different and the enjoyment vastly
greater than if he were ushered first
into u drawing room, then to dining
room where unseen hands had pre-
pared the formal dinner"

LADY :. :. :. :.
LIGHTFINGERS.
BY M. Quad.
Copyright 1901, by c. B. Lewis.

The start of the whole matter was
the lodging of complaint at Scotland
Yard by a well known jeweler doing
business on the Strand. He had miss
ed two diamond rings from a tray he
had been exhibiting to several lady Gus
toners, but unfortunately for him the
gems had been gone an hour perhaps
before he knew that deft fingers had
purloined them under his very eyes
He could recall the names of four or
five ladies, and he headed the list with
the name of marquis wife, but the
inspector on duty might well smile and
turn away at that. Had the jeweler
not been in such perturbed state Of
mind he would never have included
that name. Indeed, before he left the
place he apologized, partly to himself,
for having given any names at all, as
it was utterly absurd to suspect any Of

power of a woman,s Laugh.

Women very generally neglect a pow
erful weapon of offense and defense
placed at their command by nature.
A woman's laugh, if intelligently and
skillfully used, can wither man in his
tracks or elevate him to the seventh
heaven of happiness.
Several causes have contributed to
the decadence of woman's laughter.
The chief one perhaps is the modern
habit of dressing. Full free laughter
depends upon a perfect development
and exercise Of the respiratory mus
cles. Confined as these are by steel
and whalebone, laughter becomes an
impossibility.
With the loss of the art of laughing
comes a loss of the sense of humor.
When the expression of any of the
senses becomes difficult, the sense itself
dwindles. Don't mistake giggling for
laughter

Red Arms.

Many girls are troubled by the red
ness of their arms, especially at the
back between the elbow and the Shout
der, which is very damaging to the
appearance when in evening dress. A
good remedy for this is to soap the
arms well every morning using a soft
flannel, and in the evening to battle
them with thin warm cruel made of
equal parts of starch and oatmeal. Dry
carefully, then apply camphor ice or

He seemed to feel it a duty to report
his loss, however, and after being
quietly advised to have an eye on his
employees and unknown customers he
was dismissed with the promise that
the matter would be looked into. AS
matter of fact, no assignment was
made on the case. Some flash chap
had gifted" the jewels without even
his call being remembered, and it was
no use to hunt for a needle tn a hay
stack.
1t wasn't three days before another
case was reported by another Strand
jeweler. This time it was a diamond
sunburst, and he was positive that he
had shown it to only three ladies before
he missed it. He was reluctant to give
the names, but when pressed to do so
that of the marquis wife again headed
the list. The others were almost as far
above suspicion, and the inspector look
ed at the complainant in a way to make
him feel like a culprit. This time /

matter of form. 1t was more than any

that one of the three ladies mentioned
might have carried the ornament away

1t was about five days after this that
the third case was reported. This time
a jeweler had lost a pair of valuable
diamond earrings, and he had to be
hard pressed by the inspector before
he would admit that the loss was de-
