VARIETY IN WEDDING RINGS.

In view of the fact that many thou
sands of wedding rings are sold in
New York alone every year, says
the Sun. it is somewhat surprising
that nine-tenths or more of them are
almost exactly alike-a plain band
made of Is or % carat gold, which
costs anywhere from SO to SIS or SIS
and that the poorest, as we'll as the
richest, man buys practically the same
sort of ring for his bride.
Despite the fickleness of fashion in
most things, the plain gold wedding
ring has been in vogue for more years
than even the historians are sure
about. In America, very few wedding
rings other than those of the plainest
style have ever been worn. How much
longer the fashion will continue is an
interesting question.
There are now many more exceptions
to the rule than formerly. From time
to time, of late, in New York women
of fashion have been married with
other than a plain gold ring.
A Fifth avenue jeweler had two or
ders last winter for a wedding ring,
each of which was q complete hoop of
small diamonds, set very fiat and so
close together that not a particle of
the setting was in evidence.
you are quite sure the ring was
not intended for an engagement ring?"

DRESSMAKERS' CONVENTION.

Thousands of professionals attended
the convention of the National Dress
makers Association at Chicago, says
an exchange. The president, Mime"
Baker, made an address on prevailing
modes and other themes connected
with the trade. Imported gowns of
latest Partisan modes. and the finest
of American-made gowns were on ex-
hibition and challenged comparison.
Each member of the association was
furnished with tickets to give her
customers. The gowns on view were
exhibited sometimes on living models,
sometimes on wax figures, and repre-
scented not only all the just-coming
fashions, but those that artists in
their line hoped to make the vogue.
Much was said of the proposed re-
viVal of the Louis XIV style of droop-
ing shoulders, long and sharp bodices,
full and flowing skirts sustained by
crinoline or unidentified petticoats.
1t is a question whether this style
will be adopted but the dressmakers
mean to force the laying aside of the
popular shirt waist, and substitute
the whole suit, and much more elab-
crate sleeves. The effect of the con-
vention remains to be seen. but it
was an occasion of much interest to
the trade. The association, which is
only two years old, has a membership
of over 1000 from all parts of the

ETIQUETTE.

Social usage demands cards-of
courtesy, of coincidence, of announce
ment, of congratulation, of compli-
ment, says the Globe Democrat. But

of each are questions often PROFOUND

many breach has been made by the
nondelivery or loss of the card handed
to a careless maid, never reaching
it's intendent recipient.
Complementary, the visiting card
represents the person whose name is
engraved upon it. Therefore, it should
never be found where that person
would not wish to be known. Cards
of announcement of congratulation,
of coincidence, carry their significance,
as does the occasion for them. The
married woman's card should have her
title of Mrs. as the unmarried should
be Miss; a mans visiting card should
have Mr.. as prefix, and not the
name with none.

New Tammnny Boss.
From Leslie,s Weekly.


Charles F. Murphy has begun his
first municipal campaign as leader OF
Tammany Hall. On the result depends
his political future. If he wins he
will probably become as powerful in
the organization as Richard Croker ever
was. If he loses, there is little doubt
that Tammany, disheartened and exas-
perated by two successive defeats, will
split into factions and a new leader
will be developed. Murphy appreciates
the situation, and he is making a fight
for his political life.
Murphy's career has been one of the
typical Tammany sort. Like most of
the men who surrounded Croker, he en-
tered politics by way of the saloon, Sc
cured control of one election district
after another, grasped an assembly dis
trict, and then sought and obtained a
good office. Like them, too, when he
had made his pile he gave up saloon
keeping and went into real estate"
That is the regulation line of progress
in Tammany Hail. 1t is said that he
has been shrewd enough to recognize
the value of ex-senator Hills advice
and counsel, and thus has done what
Croker never could do. viz, cultivate a
more friendly feeling between Tam
many Hall and the rural Democracy in
the interests of party unity and success.

bit OF sympathy for her." said this
president. This world is too busy a
place to daily around with the super
sensitive people. 1 don't see why the
sensible part of creation should be re-
quired to go around on tiptoe for fear
they may disturb some so-called sensi-
tive person. Half of this constituencies
is nothing but selfishness. The sensi-
tive person wishes you to take great
care not to injure her fine feeling, and
she believes she can walk rough shod
over your feelings because you make
no claims to being anything but prac-
teal. When a woman fuses over
everything she says it is because of her
sensitive disposition. It's all poppy
cock; it's because she's foolish enough
to magnify all the little things and
hasn't the sense to see that some
things are worth minding and some are
not.
why should these sensitive people
think the whole world is going to look
out for their poor little feelings? Why
should they expect US to adopt a diff
ferent manner of speech and action
with them? Why should they think
themselves a class to be more deli
cately treated? Why should they so
nurse and pamper their feelings that
they cannot stand any rough treat
ment? The sensitive person is a nui-
sance.
Don't pity Mrs. Brown. If she's
hurt let her stay hurt, and she won't
be long in getting over it. If you
pamper her she'll think she has some
real grievance, and the next time we
overlook her she'll act worse than she
has this time"

WOMAN'S WORLD

You both make me laugh" put in
a third, nibbling daintily at a biscuit.
NOT at your discussion, which is as
ola as the stone age, when primitive
man gave his spouse the first bear skin
still warm from its original wearer."
Then what's so excruciatingly funny
about our talk?" demanded the first
woman, eying her suspiciously, for she
was giggling openly.
We'll, I'll tell you. It's a funny
story that my father used to tell on
himself. You know, he kept a coun-
try general store when he first started
out to be real merchant. and it was
the usual gathering spot for all the
villagers just like you read about in
Mary Wilkins stories. Well, one cold
night he was trying to sell a big farm
er boy one of those heavy coats lined
with buffalo skin.
Papa dilated at length on the adj
vantages of having the fur side inside
how the circulation of the warm air
kept you so much warmer than if it
was on the outside, and so on. When
he got through the boys father, who
had been sprawling all over a big box
behind the stove, apparently asleep,
opened one SQuinty eye, took a chew
of tobacco and drawled: Wal, now, 81,
you do beat all fer book larnin' sence
we went daown ter N'York. Whut a
pity the good Lord didn't know about
tibet fur business when He made bars!
Papa didn't sell the coat"
Yes" said the first woman, tri-
umphantly, that's what 1 think. If
that was the warmest way animals
would have had the fur inside Think

CURLS FOR MEN.

Cur1ed hair for men is coming IN
again, says the New York Press.
Il had two Wallets here yesterday"
said the old barber, teaching them the
mystery of curling a mans hair. They
wanted only the side wave. the most
beautiful of all curls. But that will be
followed by the long front curled love
lock that you see in the pictures of the
fashionable men of 80 years ago. l
went ten years without having man
in my chair that wanted a curl. Six
months ago one came. Since then l
have averaged one a week. l know 1t
is coming.
Does the young barber know how to
set a curl? Not a bit of it. You must
learn the trade. You must work over
the wig on the block for months before
you can do justice to the beauties of
right curl. We old fellows learned II
Just the same as we learned to shape a
beard. A new generation of BARRIERS
must come in, or the present ones must
begin, after all these years. to learn
their trade.

ers of this generation were when young

IMPoLITENESS OF MEN.

For the prevalence of smoking in
public places women have only them
selves to blame, says Mrs. Russell
Sage in an interview. "They are will
ing to drive and walk with men while
they smoke; they even permit men to
smoke while dining with them at pub
lie restaurants, and at length men feel
dreadfully abused If they are required
to desist from smoking for an hour or
So A man can drink without interfer-
ing with the comfort of others, but the
smoker makes his presence felt all
over the ROOM"
do you think men were once more
considerate and COURTHOUSE"
II know they were. Such state of
affairs was unknown among people
with any claim whatever to refinement.
The American woman must come to
the rescue-and she will-she will. The
American woman is the purest, highest,
finest product of civilization thus far,
but / do think she is making a
serious mistake in encouraging the
ubiquitous smoker"
What led her into that error?"
81 think she grasped the fact that
men and women spent their lives too
far apart and they should be COM
rades. In that she is right, but she
has not realized that they must be
comrades on the highest level attain
able and that she can bring man up
only by maintaining a very high stand
ard herself. So long as she tolerates
and condones rudeness and inconsider-
alton men will be rude and inconsider-
ate. AS soon as she insists upon court
esy they will be COURTHOUSE"
do you think home training, or,
rather, the lack of it, is responsible
for modern impoliteness?"
II do indeed Many people leave
their children almost entirely to SER
wants and consequently the little ones
imbibe their manners and culture from
the domestics. Many of our young men
and women who have attended school
and college, who have attained an en-
viable amount of brain culture. are al
most destitute of courtesy. Fix well
thy center, then draw thy circle round
has been pet motto of mine for many
years Unless we have a definite CEN
ter the circle is sure to be faulty. The
American woman must fix her center
with exceeding care, that her circle
may include all noble tendencies and
exclude all base ones, in the citizens
of America"

STORIES AS OF OLD.

In the days of old the story teller was
one of the institutions of every we'll
ordered community, says the Chicago
Chronicle. 1t was his business in life
to entertain the children with tales of
adventure, of love or of mystery, and
for this he received a dole that sufficed
for his daily wants. There is d pref
ty girl in Boston, Miss Sara Cone
Bryant, who is seeking, and with
a good measure of success, to revive
this old custom. She has become ex-
ceedingly popular.
Miss Bryant has developed for the
benefit of all those whom her work
can reach, as we'll as for her own
pleasure, a gift which it is the for
tune of very few people to possess,
that of telling a tale in such a way as
to prove of an absorbing interest to
"grownups" as well as to the young
sterS.
For long while she has been telling
stories to children for her own pleas
ure as well as for their own, says the
Philadelphia North American.
Lately, however, she decided that by
talking to mothers clubs and library
associations she could widen the field
of her endeavor and accomplish her
purpose to far better advantage.
Inc use OIL SUIT lOI GuuCd-
tional purposes is by no means new to
a certain extent" she said recently.
Every mother has used it since
mothers first were and the teachers OF
kindergartens came to be, and long.
long before kindergartens were ever
thought of there were the court story
tellers who had the art of narrative
down to a point so fine as never to
have been equaled in later days.
II tell storeis to childrens parties,
sometimes in drawing rooms where a
few children of the Weather part of
the community are the guests, some
times to hundreds of children of all
classes gathered in a hall as the guests
of a club or school and very often to
members of a Sunday-school at the
time of Christmas trees.
When you tell a story to children
you tell them only the best and most
beautiful parts of the story. You I'M
consciously leave out all that which
is not absolutely necessary for the I'M
of the story. Take, for
instance, the classic fairy tales, the

PRETTY GIRLS NOT WANTED.

"No handsome saleswomen for me-"
said the Fifth avenue milliner, as she
waved her hand in the direction of a
quartet of understood or angular wom-
en- of 80 or more. The milliner has an
amazingly French name and was born
and bred in Concord, Mass, says the
New York Press. I'm the past it has
always been my object to gather the
loveliest and shapeliest of young wom-
an to sell my hats. But have profited
by experience, and at the mere sight
of one of these toiling goddesses say,
/ do not need you
The reasons? Well, they are many.
Pretty shop girls generate dissatisfac-
ton among my patrons. For instance,
a stout and middle aged old soul comes
in and asks to see the stock. The
pretty shop girl whisks out a dream of
a Marie Antoinette in white panne vel
vet. The patron tries on the hat She
does not know whether it becomes her.
She hopes that it does. Then the vain
shop girl puts on the hat. The effect
is magical. On her golden brown head
the hat is irresistible. Madam orders
the hat, and after a week she returned
it with the weak apology. After l
had it home 1 didn't like it Madam
is a good customer. and even if the
velvet is a bit soiled l say nothing.
That is one instance.
Then, pretty girls attract the john
ny class of men as much as a Broad
way show girl. Scores of these vapid
lads come in while we are in the midst
of our work and say they would like to
see a hat for sister " Then they try
to strike up Irritation with my girls.
All, no. Give me the steady old trump.
She puts our patrons in a good hu-
NOR because she herself is so unattrac-
tive. Then, a plain woman will work
twice as lndustriously as her hand
somer sister,"

on their right sides.
They play golf, although she has
told them of people who got struck in
the head by clubs unwarily slung. They
refuse to put turpentine on small cuts
despite the danger of lockjaw; they
neglect to put on winter underwear
when the temperature changes and
they pass right in front of trolley cars
in crossing busy streets. And, reck-
less as they are, they manage some
how to keep alive as il just to spite
their monitress.
And the poor woman worries over
all this just as If it wasn't the privi-
lege of every free-born citizen of this
and every other country to take cold
or contract appendicitis or sustain the
loss of a limb at any time he or she
feels so disposed.
The very quiet and most reposeful
woman the writer knows or ever did
know says that she makes 1t the rule
of her life not to interfere with peo-
pie; to let them do as they like. Not
that she is selfishly Indifferent to their
welfare. A friendly warning she will
adventure, but if this is disregarded she
wastes no more breath in argument
or persuasion. Thus she saves her
self much agitation and retains the
friendship of her friends.

THE RIGHTS OF WIVES.

Because his wife objected, a success
full lawyer has decided not to occupy
the bench, says Golfers Weekly. What
kind of life, asks she, would a wom-
an lead, whose husband was away
on circuit several months each year?
And public opinion would doubtless go
with her. Time was, when such a
planting of the feminine foot would
have aroused indignation of jocosity.
Now, however, a mans public bust
ness is not supposed to be always
more important than a woman's priv
ate happiness. This may be called
especially the American as opposed
to the Hindu view, although reports
come to US even from the masculine
stronghholds of India. Doubtless some
day the march of liberty will reach
the Sultan. The report circulates, how
ever authentic, that Mr.. Roots refusal
to tarry longer in the War Department
was caused by the overruling decision
of his wife. A strong and philosophic
mind, like Mr.. Roots, is just the kind
which usually applies the principles
of enlightened government to family
life, and gladly substitutes, the new
rule of superior physical vitality, the
new principles of parliamentary dis
tcussion and agreement. Foreigners
call our women despotic because they
assume something like equality, just
as foreign aristocrast call a plebeian
impertinent if he expects merely equal
treatment. American husbands realize
that, in their fuller contract with the
world and their greater health and
physical endurance, they have advan-
tages to begin with, and that it is
only fair to grant to the woman, with
her heavier handicap, almost anything
she wishes in those parts of their
common existence which affect her
happiness. Woman gains in this
country so rapidly mainly because hers
is the cause of Justice.

NEGLIGEE DRESS.

one is saddened by the intelligence
that the San Francisco girl is getting
10 be that most reprehensible thing,
e1oDpy in her dress. At least one fears
f, must be so, since the San Francisco
News Letter publishes a remonstance
addressed to "Girlies," begging the dear

uegligees, urging that kimonos, wrap
ners and tea gowns are sacred to the
Young married woman, and look badly
and are not in good taste on the girl
Of IS, who should, above all things, be
trig and smart, while at the same time,
simple and girlish, in all her cloth

founded in this frequently reiterated
reprimand, says the Springfield Repub-
ucan for both French and English
critics constantly comment unfavorably
on the manner of dressing adopted by
the American girl, complaining that it
is quite impossible, when meeting a
Young American women, to hazard a
guess as to whether she is married or
single, the extreme simplicity of dress
that characterizes the young girl in
every other country but this being en-
tirely lacking.
At the same time that one reads
that the American girl is in danger
of growing slopp, the announcement is
made that English women have a per-
feet craze for jerseys, which has be
come as indispensable an article of a

shirt waist. Last year the sweater

to the Jersey. No wonder the English
congratulate themselves that the rage
for wearing sweaters is past, for they
are by all odds the rowdieSt looking
things a woman can wear and unless
assumed for convenience on yachting
or walking trips, there is no plea to
be made for the jersey, save warmth.
AS an extra wrap to make a light
weight cloak do on cold day, the jer-
sey serves the purpose for which it
was made, but no really we'll dressed

looks we'll for an outside garment. Let

While England is being given over

Mrs Deulafoy's husband is a civil en-

she resolved to accompany him, and
finding that ordinary woman's attire

well that she has worn it ever since.
She is, beside a traveller, a writer and

written several successful romances.
She belongs to the Legion of Honor;
