THE WOMAN WHO PADDED.

Fifty or more women in bathing cos
tune, says the New York Sun, were
lolling about on the beach near one
of Coney Islands best bathing places
one afternoon last week. They were
not of the wayfaring kind that go
down from the city with lunch boxes,
hire a bathing dress, take their plunge
and then hurry home to supper, but
were mainly guests at hotels, cottag
ers from Bensonhurst. tasteful wear
ers of their own garments.
A smaller number of men lounged
on the sand with these women and
waited for the tide to rise to good
swimming depth. For those who had
eyes to see there was hosiery aplenty
blue and red and black, open work
and shut, Isle and cotton and silk. If
there was a knee in the crowd that
was concealed by the skirt of a bath
ing suit it escaped attention.
Then a young woman strolled up and
sat down to play with a little girl.
She. too, belonged to the fashionable
throng
Her pale blue dress was we'll cut and
fitted. her auburn hair was prettily
coiled and cared for. and when, to
please the child, she prepared to go
in padding it was a pair of silk stock
ings that she laid carefully over her
patent leather ties and placed in a
snug corner under the bathing pavilion.
The pretty blue skirt, held in both
hands, rose six, then seven or eight
then. perhaps ten inches, but no more
as the edge of the waves ran gently
forward and backward about her feet
and ankles and she. apparently all
unconscious of the sensation she was
creating laughed and sported with the
youngster.
But as soon as she was seen by the
reclining men and women on the sand
ripple of "ohs" and "my's" and
Did you ever?" and For heaven
sake!" ran up and down the adjacent
beach. Some of the women blushed an6
tried not to seem to see, the frivolous
gggled, the rest expressed their opin-
ions audibly.
1t wasn't long before the girl in blue
looking around, found herself the oh.
ject of so much unpleasant staring anC
remark that she beat a retreat.
AS she passed a group of four wom
en- and two men, all clothed for th'
water, whose conversation was OBJ
viously meant to convey to her ear:
their disapproval of her conduct, sh'
paused and said:
Ladies, I'm sorry to have shocked
you. But if what 1 have done wa'
immodest. tell me why what you ar
doing is modesto"
And she pointed to four sets o.
stockinged legs stretched upon th'
sand.

PERILS OF HOT SHOPPING.

A young woman in well-fltting gar
ments, says the New York Sun. saun-
tered into a Sixth avenue shop yester-
day, glad to get out of the sun and
enjoy the artificial breeze that swept
the aisles. She approached a counter
where a special sale of shirtwaists
was going on. Taking off her sailor
hat for greater GOODNESS she tossed It
down on a stool and began to paw
over the waists in an aimless way.
Just then she fell under the notice of
a businesslike little woman armed with
note book, which presumably re-
minded her that one of her errands
took her to this waist sale. She hadn't
been able to get a saleswoman to wait
on her, and when she saw this hatless
maiden she stepped up to her and said
Miss, will you please wait on me in
stead Of standing around here posing
and looking at yourself in the mirror?
I've been waiting over"
What's that?" exclaimed the hatless
one.
"I'd like to be waited on when you

Blushing. says the ST. James Ga
zette. is not an art. neither is it a
sign of ill-breeding, as some unklnd
people maintain. The fact is, 1t is
just as natural for some persons to
blush as it is for others to turn pale

the cheeks, a net work so fine that it
is necessary to employ a microscope
to distinguish them. Ordinarily, the
blood passes through these vessels in
normal quantities, leaving only the
natural complexion. But when it's ac-

instantly leaps to the cheeks. The

laries just beneath the delicate trans
parent surface of the skin.
The causes that bring about this con-
dition in the circulating system are
called mental stimuli. They consist of
JOY. anger, shame and many other emo
tons. Sudden horror. remorse, or fear,
on the contrary, influence the nerves
which control the blood vessels, and
the face becomes white. Blushing and
pallor result from the sudden action
of the mind on the nervous system. So
If the mnd be forewarned and pre-
pared for emotions, both habits can at
least be partially overcome. But when
the nervous system is highly strung,
it would be a lifelong if not a futile
task to endeavor to effect a perfect

American girl. 1t was only after mar
riage that women obtained these
rights.
Forty years ago French parents
thought marriage was not a proper
subject for the thoughts of theil
daughters; f1irtation-even as a word
was unknown in France. At that
time simplicity in dress was the order
of the day for young maidens, and
even conferred a certain distinction,
being carried as far as possible among
the aristocracy. There were special
light silks and inexpensive trinkets for
jeunes files set with corals, enamels
and pearls among which the tiniest
of diamonds would never have been
tolerated any more than costly laces,
furs or elaborate trimmings.
At a glance it was easy to ascertain
by the style of dress whether a
young woman was married or not,
whereas it is not by any means so easy
now, the same satins, velvets, feathers
and jewels being worn alike in both
cases. And ii is not any easier to guess
from the behavior in society. for it
may happen that the conversation Is
taken up and carried on by the girls
in their desire to shine and to attract
attention-the married ladies being
silenced and ignored in the midst of
IAAC CASAlCiiCAAA anu oil Nl0i-
ly created by free sallies, unrestrained
laughter and much attitudinizing.
No doubt the conventional restric-
tions of forty years ago were some
what excessive and kept French girls
till after marriage in a state of pro-
longed childhood. Nevertheless, it re-
mains to be seen whether the rapid
change which has supervened is a real
gain, for if it has remedied some
of he al ole
genedered new ones, and on that ac-
count many thoughtful French parents
are now seriously disquieted about the
future of their daughters.

SOCIAL CUSTOMS in MEXICO.

Modern Mexico gives an account of
as follows:
Ladies do not attend the funerals
Children kiss the hands of their
parents.
The host is served first at table.
The bridegroom purchases the
brides trousseau.
Feminine friends kiss on both
cheeks when greeting or taking leave.
Gentlemen speak first when passing
lady acquaintances on the street
The sofa is the seat of honor and
guest waits to be invited to occupy it,
Men and women in the same social
circle call each other by their first
names.
When a Mexican speaks to you of
his home he refers to- it as your
house."
When you move into a new locality
it is your duty to make the first neigh
borhood calls.
When friends pass each other on the
street without stopping they say adios
(goodby).
Even the younger children of the
family are dressed in mourning upon
the death of a relative.
Young ladies never receive calls from
young men and are not escorted to en-
tertainmepts by them.
Daily inquiry is made for a sick
friend, and cards are left or the name
written in book with the porter.
Dinner calls are not customary. but
upon rising from the table the guest
thanks his host for the entertainment
Mexican gentlemen remove their
hats as scrupulously upon enterting a
business Office as in a private resi-
dence.
After a dance the gentleman returns
his partner to her seat beside her
parents or chaperon and at once leaves
her side.

mixed breed children through the mar
riage of white settlers with colored
women. 49, -
A few months ago a German news
paper printed a letter from a corre-
spondent living at windhuk German
Southwest Africa, in which he said
that the Colonial Society was sending
to the colony too many tailoresses,
shop girls and women from the cities.
What our colonies want" he said.
us women to milk and take care CT
the cows and work on the farms. Such
women will make good wives for our
settlers; but the other classes are COM
palatively useless here, for they are
not adapted to share in the work which
our colonists are carrying on
This letter aroused the indignation
of one of the settlers, who regarded it
as tending to bring into disrepute the
laudabe efforts of the Colonial Soci-
ETY. to provide wives for the colonists.
He, therefore wrote a letter in which
he said that many of the women sent
to the colony had, to be sure, been
I servant girls, saleswomen or tailoresses
| at home. This fact. however, did not
prevent them from being very excel
lent and helpful wives to the colonists
they had married.
The Colonial Society deserved the
in building up homes in German South
west Africa. The Importation into
the colony of young women had thus
far been a great success and should
encourage further effort in the same
direction.
Only six of the women who had been
sent to the colony had returned home.
Every one of these women had mar
ried and their reason for leaving the
| colony was only that their husbands
or themselves We're not adapted for the
| climate or, in one case, because the
husband was there without a cent of
capital and was unable to get along.
Among the several hundred young
women who had been brought to the
| colony on two transports only two had
| failed to procure husbands within a
| few weeks of their arrival. The enter
prise of supplying wives to the colon
lists had been extraordinarily success
full and as there were still hundreds of
unmarried Germans in the colony he
/ hoped the good work would proceed on
! the lines prescribed by the Colonial
| Society, which was very careful to
send out only intelligent young wom-
| en- of strong physique, good health and
correct morals.

HER LITTLE JOKE.

They were in the studio, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. Artists trap
perry and Bohemian paraphernalia
were placed about the room with
studied carelessness.
Heavy tapestries and portieres chok-
ed the walls. Costly statuary, me-
diaevaI firearms, poniards, yataghans
and priceless and historic armor were
ranged idly about the room.
Seated on a heavily upholstered di-
van, eyeing the American heiress at
work on an intricate landscape, was
the Duke.
Bah jove." he calculated suddenly,
"do you know, Miss Millyins, I'm
wrapped up in you and"
"Huh!" interrupted the wealthy
maiden, with Yankee sarcasm. II
don't see why you should be wrapped
up; l haven't bought you yet"
The Duke sat dumfounded, wonder
ing what there was in her remarks to
cause a smile to break out over her
sweet Visage.

DR.. HOFFMANN'S
FATHERS DEATH

DR.. Walter Hoffman, received yester-
day news of the death of his father in
Berlin. Prof. DR.. Otto Hoffman, was
sixty-four years of age, and was one of
the best known instructors and writer's
of his native land. For some thirty
four years he had been in the gym
nasium, or royal university prepara-
tory school, in Berlin, and while there
wrote widely, principally as commenta-
tor upon the works of Goethe and
Herder, his scholarship winning for him
decorations both from Emperor William
the First and the present Kaiser. His
death was due to constitutional dis
order. During the present year he re-
tired from his professorship, with the
pension. He leaves a
widow and six children.

THE OPEN DOOR POLICY.

The meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday may easily prove to
have been the turning point in the life
of body which is capable by the dig
nifty Of its career and the business posi-
ton of it's membership, of the most use
full and potent service to Hawaii. The
Chamber promptly recognized, after
hearing the arguments of Mr.. Tenney,
the need of new blood in the organiza-
tion and appointed a committee to re-
wise the bylaws relating to member
ship. If the report of the committee
shall be in tune with the sentiment
prevailing in the Chamber yesterday,
an open door policy will follow; and the
Chamber. dofing its ancient conserva-
tism, will permit everybody to come in
whose aid is needed in building up Ho-
nolulu.
There is a clear call for the Cham
hers help. The transport issue has
been raised again in conferences be-
tween Mr.. Helm of the Merchants As
ISOLATION and the Quartermaster Cen
eral Of the Army; and there Is a chance
to make Honolulu once more L port of
call. It cost this city tens os thousands
OF dollars to let the transports go by:
but Honolulu could afford to lose few
good things then and it gave the MAJ
ter little thought. Now times have
changed. We need the transports ana
need them badly as a source of rev
enue. It is proper, as an American
port. that we should have them instead
Of Nagasal1. The argument of a
smoother and pleasanter passage by
this route is ours to advance; and if
the Chamber Of Commerce would act a
reasonable price for coal might be Sc
cured
1t is up to the reviving Nestor Of orr
commercial bodies to bring all its in
huence at Washington to bear on the
transport problem. Nothing would bet
ter signalize its new birth OF energy and
public spirit.
