Heads properly dressed for evening
functions have exactly the polished

this artists skill, for not all amateur
fingers can coax locks into the studied

pink louisine are the features of the
low sleeveless bodice.
For gowns in these reminiscent styles
there are details which accentuate
their courtly suggestion-satin and kid
slippers. whose high heels. which are
even occasionally red; stockings which
may show stiff floral vases, and all
the tiny fans of the Louis epochs. The
embroidery, open-work or lace of the
stockings is confined to the front of the
leg, as side trimmings are apt to dis
figure that member. Tiny oval mirrors
frequently enhance feminine apprecia-
ton of the fans, and their spanged and
painted glories are framed in mother of
pearl.
A choice design in any of these Louis
fans costs anywhere from $25 to $3.50.
Many are even dearer in price. but
quite reasonable limitations are seen in
silk, gauZe, and even paper, which are
aStonishingly pretty.
Conventional evening fashions are, of
course, everywhere seen, but the taste

Strangers who visit great cities are
always astonished at the number Of
hospitals for dogs and cats which
flourish in them, and the elaborate dis
play of luxuries for these same four
footed pets which are to be seen in
fashionable shops.
Every woman has a dog nowadays.
If her purse will not permit the eX-
travagance of a King Charles spaniel,
a Yorkshire terrier or a Great Dane,
she contents herself with a cur. and
lavishes upon it just as much affec-
ton and attention as is bestowed upon
it's blue-blooded kindred.
Some women there be who prefer
cats to dogs, like one old woman
whose gift of a Maltese cat to a friend
is always considered a mark of special
favor. When cat falls i'll she i'm

and silver bottles. In lieu of a bath
robe, a good-sized linen sheet is pro-
vided to wrap them in after a bath,
and delicate linen towels. from which
lint cannot be rubbed into their hair,
are teuderly patted and rubbed over
them until fur and hair are quite dry.
Little blankets, somewhat smaller
than baby blankets, are also used aft
er a bath. A set of dainty blankets,
bath sheets and towels forms a most
acceptable gift to a woman with a dog
or cat to care for.
The seasons bring with them new
though the form cannot change to any
extent, and the difference lies more
in the trimming than anything else.
This season light and dark blue and
red are the accepted colors for dog
coats. But in the way of ribbons and
bows, a woman usually dresses her
dog in something that will exactly
harmonic with, or contrast prettily
with, her own costume. An up-to-
date woman keeps rolls OF ribbons in
a basket, all ready to cut into fresh
bows for her dog, because it is not al
ways easy to match the tintS of rib
bon which one may affect.
Dog owners say that few people
realize the Importance of dressing a
dog in colors of ribbons that harmon
ize with the tints of his hair. For a
light haired dog a beautiful coat of

way becoming to the wearer, and
producing in numberless instances the
couture now recognized as distinctive
of the theatrical show girl.
Maids and matrons of more moder-
ate tastes are content with a modified
topple, and since the unbroken puff is
becoming only to the most classic fea-
lures, light partings and lovelocks have
come to glorify others.
For everyday life and the high
necked street gown there is not much
scope for elaborate coiffure effects. The
majority of hats requiring a high dress
ing, a soft round knot flanked by round
and side combs the color of the hair
is most frequently seen. Shell slides
hold up the loose hairs. and when the
hat is removed nine times out of ten
a black taffeta or velvet bow is re-
vealed above the left side of the knot.
1t is only with the evening costume
of low cut that the set elegance of the
present couture is fully displayed. Then
an impression is received of superbly

DAINTY SANITARY
INDIVIDUAL TOWELS

The housekeeper who has not dis
covered the value of the small towel in
her household economics has something
yet to learn. 1t is only recently that
they have been used to any extent in
private families, but their usefulness
is making them increasingly popular.
This is the towel that has heretofore
been known as the hotel size. 1t is
the small hand towel that is used in
large quantities in public places,
where many people use towel only
once. A large towel would be incon-
venient, and the ordinary towel would
make at least twice the bulk to send
to the laundry.
All the reasons which make the
small towel valuable in public places
makes it useful for the private house
keeper who has many guests. The
towels she will use are of a birdseye
linen, hemstitched on the end. A
good quality will cost % cents. They
are pretty little towels, soft for the
hands, and with an initial embroider-
ed on the end. They need not dread
comparison with the larger towels in
the linen closet. Often the housekeeper
marks the small towels as she is doing
the larger ones, with the lettering in
the Russian cross-stitch.
The woman who considers her COM
plexion is using the small towels not
only for her guests, but for her hands
and face. The birdseye linen is soft
for the skin, which is often irritated
by heavier towel. Then she can use
as many as she pleases without feel
that she is making a deadly enemy Of
the laundress.
The woman who keeps her house

enough for that effect?"
The cut of the bodice is not the only
thing to be considered with stylish
hair arrangement But think how
times have changed, when woman
dares admit she uses the boughten
blush.
With heads getting more and more
pretentious in their dressing it fol-
lows that costumes, too. must. in a
measure, turn to stately effects. The
influence of the days of puffed, curled
and powdered wigs are already felt
in some evening frocks lately imported.
Narrow silky ribbons and wreaths and
garlands of small artificial flowers are
employed upon such of these as are
fashioned in diaphanous materials.
With gowns in the stiff silks which
are to be agann much worn, satin rib
bons will form the wreaths and gar
lands, whose courtly prettiness is
much admired.
An evening costume in pink and
blue pompadour silk displays these or
lamentations in pale pink satin rib
bon. The wreaths which have the
classic tying and short ends, are dis
posed upon a white silk and chiffon
skirt apron and upon the bertha and
cuffs of the sleeves. The back and
side breadths of the skirt are very full,
and are made to stand out with a
light interlining of crinoline.
A similar stiffness is carried to the
bodice whose cut is below the Shout
ders, and whose foundation begins
with white silk, over which chiffon is
placed Upon these is put a double
bias Of the pompadour silk, the two
forming a jacket and bertha look. At
the front of the waist a puff of the
plain white shows, and it is girdled
high with panne velvet in a delicate
azure. The sleeves are short puffs with
elbow falls of killed chiffon.
a second gown, which is almost too
fairy-like for either verbal description
or pictorial illustration, is of white
point d'esprit spangled with silver and
trimmed with pink ribbon with silver
reflections, artificial flowers and
French lace. This is disposed in a
skirt border between bands of the rib

or hold on to her, when someone
playfully tries to take her away, till
his little teeth are pulled out in the
unequal strength. He loves his dolly,
and only the assurance that dolly has
gone to sleep and cannot be disturbed
satisfies him for her absence.
Cats, on the other hand. prefer some
thing that rolls along the floor, and
dearly love ball or rubber figure at
the end of a long elastic string which
can be thrown out and drawn back in
a lively game.
While dogs have neck ribbons to
match their coats, or the trimming
upon them, cats have simply a neck
ribbon with a preference for blue up
fancy collars, but they are never
dressed and adorned as lavishly as a
dog is. For these all styles of collars
are introduced, from dainty little jew
elled affairs fit for a skye terrier, to
great circles of leather covered with
silver chains passed through buckles
and held by a plate, suitable for a
Great Dane or St. Bernard.
Some collars are trimmed with long
brass spikes set in frames of brass
nailheads, and others are adorned with
heads, while one collar seemed to be
set with brass gongs and finished with
a door-plate, as if any self-respectins
dog would wear such a thing.
For blue coats there are collars
studded with turquoises, and for red
ones Glbies are used. Emeralds are the
only other colors of jewels affected.
These are of course, only imitation.
Baskets and hampers for dogs and
i
made of woven wicker, in oblong or
square shapes, and in fancy shapes Of
finely woven split wicker. The Win
dows are latticed or barred in artistic
frames, and Fido and Tabby travel III
comfort therein.
Sleeping baskets for them, however,
are very elaborate affairs, with cano-
pies lined with silk and satin wadding
and cushions and quilts of delicately
tinted silks. Puss likes cushions OF
feathers or down, but Fido prefers a
little hair-stuffed cushion. and, in
summer time, has a wide splint-bot-
toned chair provided for him to sleep
on, where the air can circulate through
his thick hair.
One grows accustomed to seeing
little high-chair set at a dinner table
for dog to occupy beside his doting
mistress, and one man has grown ac-
customed to having his wife call her
household of cats into bed at o'clock
every morning, where they amuse
themselves till breakfast time in
jumping over the sleeping mans head
and sitting UP to listen to his snoring
when they allow him to snore.
Waited on by man and maid, catered
to by shopkeepers, petted by mis-
tresses and attended by physicians,
the dogs and cats of to-day have
luxurious time of it. and evidently
would scarcely like to change places
with any one.

THE GENUS HOBO.
Essentially Different from the Tramp
Class---The Distinction.

Class---The Distinction.
+ "The genus hobo is rapidly sup
planting the tramp in the evolution
Of mankind" said a student Of So
ciology to a New Orleans Times
Democrat reporter. "There is
probability that this statement will
be denied by many persons who do
not know the facts as they are, but
such denial will not bear any weight
with the people who have dealings
with the under strata of life. TO the
ordinary observer there is no differ
snce between the hobo and the tramp.
Both are accounted worthless, lazy,
shiftless and generally disreputable.
There is a difference, however, and it
is marked to a most noticeable de-
gree. The tramp roams over the
country at will, shirks labor of every
kind, and has no desire except to eat.
And he will be sttistied with any
quality of food, so Dong as the guam
tity is satisfactory. If he cannot get
his food by begging, he will steal it.
He is satisfied to sleep anywhere, in
daytime or at night. The hobo, how
ever, is far different. His main idea
is to roam. lie wants no permanent
habltatlon except under conditions
most particularly inviting. He is
willing to work, and does work. He
will arrive in New Orleans on a
freight, having paid his passage by
giving the train crew a small amount
of money or something which is
equivalent. He will probably have a
dollar or two when he reaches this
lefty. He will Immediately look out
| for some job and will work steadily
and faithfully until he has seen the
city and its sights and the novelty has
begun to pail Then he will move to
some other burg, where the same pro-
lgramme will be enacted. The hobo
generally starts out when he is from
16 to 20 years, and as a rule he has
either degenerated into a tramp or
settled down to a permanent habita-
ton by the time he is 80. There is
AN attractiyeness about the life which
appeals to many Of the youngsters of
to-day, and for that reason the tribe
is increasing. Itisrunning the tramp
out Of business. and soon the tramp
will be a freak, an object of attraction
to the sideshow Of the big circus"
