How to Talk to Women.

In America, writes feminine con.
trlbutor to the Contemporary Review,
though the women have not as yet
votes. except in u few States, they
have attained different social posi-.
ton from that which we hold in Eng.
land. and, consequently, an American
man talks up to us, very visibly taking
IT for granted that we know as much
and have as good Judgment of the
subject in hand as himself.
An Englishman. on the contrary,
usually talks down to us. He assumes
that we know little or nothing, and
that our opinions df we nave any are
hardly worth ascertaining. This he
does pretty universally to ladies who
are strangers to him. Only IL he hap
pens to know that the woman to whom
he is speaking is the possessor of brains
he Is apt to treat her in a still more
aggravating manner, and to imply, in
all he says. that she is not as other
women are, fools and slight" but
stands apart from her sex-a very
great insult, as we must all consider
1t.
After certain number of years OF
the new regime / am convinced that
the minds of women would grow
larger and stronger, even as .leir
bodies have done in the last forty
years, by fresh air and exercise. and
then a generation will arise in which
women will scarcely be called an"
longer the weaker sex"

Point, In Fashionable Millinery.

The high crown remains Il popular
style. in straw as well as in lace. chif-
fon and tulle. In almost every in
stance the brlm IL wide all around,
with slight flare off the face. Plumes
and tips offer manifold possibilities in
the adornment of high-crowned hats.
The revival of the little bonnet with
strings will undoubtedly become more
general as the season advances. Cos
samer materials and straw braids are
used to fashion them. and ostrich tips,
lace and sequins form the decoration
with the strings usually of velvet rib
bon. The youthful lace looks especial
ly well under fiat plateau or the new
sailor with very low crown and rather
wide brim. though either shape may
be varied by rolling back the brim on
bandeau. For those who have tired
of straw there are the smartest hats
In white. gray or fawn felt, with n
simple ribbon or scarf trimming. Vel
vet ribbon in widths varying from
half IN inch to two inches Is much In
lem | in the millinery world. The
broad widths are used to form the
qullllngs that enclrcle the low crowns
Of the new sailors, as well as for bows
and rosettes. Both fruit and flowers
are to be popular decorations for the
early autumn hat, and In the reds.
deep greens and sere brown shades
they are particularly seasonable.

The Three-Hole Blucher.

The flattest of soles is seen on some
walking boots. both buttoned and
laced. and on the popular oxford or
low-cut shoe yclept the "three-holc
blucher." From the ball of the foot,
beneath the instep and to the heel,
there is heavy curved support to the
foot. with unusual "spring" to it, The
heel Is high, and for some reason called
military heel. This blucher has
three holes on eacl side. no more, and.
therefore is truly low shoe.
1t has no tip across the toes, neither
pointed nor square. and the sole lies
fiat and square Oh the ground not in
the least turning up at the toes. rs
older style boots and shoes are wont
to do. BY these marks you may know
the "th-ee-hole blucher.'

The best qualities of orchestral music

ganization of Thomas orchestra has Sc
cured in degree not equaled by any
orchestra in the world 1t is not an opera
organization dividing it's time and interest
between symphony concerts and the de-
mands of the opera. The Theodore Thomas
orchestra makes very few engagements
outside of it's two symphony concerts a
week during the Chicago season. These
outside engagements are of nature sim
liar to it's regular concert work. The or
chestra is not overworked like many Euro
pean orchestras; it has ample rehearsals
under MIR. Thomas; and it's interest is un-
divided. These, together with the fact
that the musicians are all picked mer
and that It's size Is ample for all demands
upon it are the qualifications which united
with the ability and enthusiasm of the
conductor make an organization OF which
IT can be said that it has no superior ant

Love thy neighbor as myself" is a

Mrs. Condor is a middle-aged lady

What did you say to him?"
Nothing. He said it to me-"
We'll, didn't you assault him with
branches from an oak tree before he

No, to be sure and didn't. I had
some rotten branches in my hand and
I tossed them, at him.

Il don't know whether it was a higf
fever or a low fever, but it was a fever
all right, and that's all you need tx
know about it,
At that the attorney decided that HI
had gone far enough.
This is not the first trouble between
the parties and each has had the othe
arrested for assault with Indifferent
