ing to see the haste evidenced by young
widows in taking off their mourning.
for there is nothing more fetching or
becoming to a young face than wild
ow's cap and veil. 1t does deadly work
with the opposite sex, and the latter is
predisposed to widows anyway. Wild
oWs and divorced women never lack
for attention. A good story is told of a
widow in another state who, when her
husband died. was too poor to put on
proper mourning for him. After year
or two had rolled round, she again en-
tered the holy estate of matrimony and
this time her husband was well endow
ed with the riches of this world.
Whereupon she put on black for her
first husband. She said as this was the
first time she had been able to do SO,
she desired to show him the proper re-
spect, late as it was. There is no moral
to this story.
1t is quite fad just at present for
both men and women in st. Paul to go
without their hats. This fad, which has
been one for some time in the East,
has quite a good deal more to recon-
mend 1T than most fads. There is no
doubt that the fact that men wear
their hats so much is responsible for
badness, and there are vast numbers
full of men and women without hats
are common sights on the hill these
summer evenings, and until a woman
has experienced the discomfort of rid
ing with one hand holding her hat on
she cannot realize the joy of riding
without it. Men, too, are more COM
Portable without hats, although the
automobile caps are not in much dan
ger of blowing off. It is said that men

and yet not three days after it was re-
ported that Yale and Harvard men
were going without their hats in the
street the young men of st. Paul were
doing likewise.
1t is wonderful what girl will toler-
ate in a man in the summer. This is in
reference to the dreadful state of un-
dress INDUCED in by ST. Paul boys and
young men, which was a fad last year
and is continued this. pretty ST.
Paul girl was seen talking to two
young men the other day in an automo-
bile, and if she had desired to give
them a good lesson she might have
passed on in a dignified manner when
they drew up at the walk to speak to
her. They had on shirtwaists, but no
coats or vests, no collars or ties, and
the bands of their shirts tucked in
round their beautiful necks. Their
sleeves were rolled up above the ell
bow. On their heads were white SLOUGH
hats, and on their feet soiled canvas
shoes without heels. Altogether they
looked like tramps and seemed glad Of
it. 1t is inconceivable that man will
approach lady on the street in this
sort Of costume, or lack of costume, al
though it is the fault Of the girl who
tolerates a man in state of undress.
The girls have it in their own hands,
and it is to be hoped that they will
properly snub young men who do not
know any better than to appear before
them thus undressed.
White shoes, which were much the
fashion about five years ago, are being
worn again this year, and are very
pretty with all white toilettes, hardly
SO with anything else. But as my lady
has scarcely anything in her ward
robe this year save white, she finds
these outing shoes very useful Most
of them this year are made of canvas.
1t is only girls with small feet who
should attempt to wear them, as they
accentuate the size of large feet most
painfully. Yellow shoes are also grad
