q you know the new fads Of the
girl OF Gotham
You are clever IL you keep
track Of them all and you are
duh II you do not admire them.
For, however silly they may be. how
ever Iar-fctched and feminine, they
ire certainly interesting, and many OF
them are clever.
The girl OF Gotham carries around
with her "A small satchel. This con-
lains her mascots. She has 50 many
of them that they viii not all 20 in
her pocket, nor can they all be strung
upon chain She must have whole
sstchel devoted 10 them and she packs
them away as she would pack her
wardrobe.
And here are some OF her mascots;
she carries a jungle elephant An
elephant Is the lucky animal Of certain
hot countries. and the Gotham girl Is
superstitiOus. She carries always with
her little carved white elephant, and
20 him she oilers her prayers for
lucky day.
Then. in the satchel. there goes,
also. a big. fat bean. II looks Ike
horse chestnut. but is fiatter. and on
The outside is carved her sign Of the
zodiac Take YOUR month and carve
it's sign upon the outside of d horse
chestnut or a big fat bean and you
Nil have HindOo Brshnin talisman-
The lucky penny is in every purse
and. now, there must be also a sap
I.hire. il Il IS not carried in the purse
d is worn, for the ~lpphire is the
lucky stone OF 1904. Don't be wi6out
q sapphire amy longer. Get one and
never lay it aside. Wear it or carry
IL All the time.
The girl of Gotham has fad for en-
teltaining in new ways Some of these
ways are rather unconventional. The
bachelor girl gives little dressing
sacQue parties. Her guests come in
shirt waists and separate skirts. but
The bachelor gifl wears dressing
saccue and silk Detticoat This sounds
oc1 But, really the dressing sacQue IS
d marvel in frilis and is made Of the
nnest lawn and needlework and the
suk DetticOst is q wonderful thing in
lunies ard lace II can cost anything
I'd 10 $50. Of course with the silk pet
tlcoat the bachelor girl wears a be-
wltching pair Of French heeled slippers
and her hair Is done low, in glrlish
fashion, with Z bow OF ribbon at the
back
Then the girl Of Gotham has other
entertsinment fsds- She gives a Lin
erick party2 Do you kno what
Limerick party is? Invite a dozen
guests and tell them all 10 come pre-
pared with rhyme. Then get a blank
look Write "Limericks" on the out
side And on the first page inscribe
your own rhyme.
The guests arrive Each tells his or
her bvme. Each writes IL in the Lin
erick book And that makes the enter
tainment. IL is great fad in Gotham
The funnier the Limericks the better.
The New York girl has another fad.
She loves skulls. She carries a tiny
one upon her watch fob for luck and
for ornament; and she hangs skull Of
pspier mache. II she cannot get the
real article. over her dressing table.
She arranges a row Of skulls along the
walls Of her library, innocent looking
skulls that make you think they are
made u plaster Of Paris; and she hangs
a-akpll in her dining-rOom. II is just
fad. she viii tell you But very Wig
oroUs one just now.
Then the Gotham girl has a fad for
animals % the jungle. She calls them
5ungleheads. She never goes without
carrying one with her. She carries a
ylNElEnEdQ upon the IdIOlt bL ItI par
asol. And she has il arranged so that
she can unscreW il and screw another
one on IN it's place. She owns half a
dozen Of these heads. tigers. panthers,
Wild cats and angoras. and she pos
sesses VOLTS head, a fox head and
the heac Of a wild boar. She never
stirs unless protected by one Of these.
The more animals she can carry
about with h0- the better. This is
the opinion Of the girl Of Gotham. She
wears a silver head at her belt, the
head OF an animal; she carries a
carved cat upon her parasol handle; in
her pocket there reposes carved ivory
elephant; at her throat there is a tiny
black dog: her shirt waist set is IN
the shape OF animal heads; and, upon
her bag. there is fastened a silver or
nament which resembles an animal Of
1ungleland. Truly she does not move
about unprotected.
And the girl OF Gotham has some
fads which are not quite so harmless,
some naughty fads. And one Of these
Is the fad OF the scented cigarette She
takes paper cigarettes and rolls them
in perfume until the paper is satur-
ated.
And the way TO do it is this: Take
a little nice perfume and pour Il into
the palm Of your hand. Select your
cigarette. roll IL around in your hand
until the perfume is all soaked up and
the cigarette Is dampened. Then lay
II aside 10 dry. AS soon as the paper
Is crisp again light the cigarette and
smoke IL. The result will be a very
