A QUEEN AS A SHOPPER.

The Queen, the Princess of Wales,
Princess Charles of Denmark and
Princess Victoria, says the London
Mail, walked from the castle into
Windsor yesterday afternoon and did
some shopping.
The Princesses filled their pockets
with lovely things, the royal party
staying in the shops a considerable
time. ''They give as little trouble as
possible" said Mr.. Barber, land it
is a real pleasure to wait on them"
The Queen and the Princesses would
not even trouble the shopkeepers to
have some of the things wrapped in
paper. They simply put the small
purchases into their pockets and ask
ed for the larger things to be sent to
the castle.
Her Majesty and the Princesses did
not pay for their purchases in hard
cash, but the Queen remarked to one
tradesman, you can trust me?" They
seemed to make light of the I'M
propitious weather and the wet pave
ments, and tramped along quite gay
ly, holding an animated conversation
and frequently stopping to look at the
wares displayed in the shop windows
of High street.

THE HANDSOME MAN PAID UP.

When the conductor came through,
says the New York Press, he stopped
before Mrs. Standish and said, 'Faur-
ur-urs, please
Mrs. Standishs swallowed a pepper

II have no money. My husband will
pay for me-"
The conductor looked around on the
serried ranks of feminity doubtfully.

"On the back platform. He stayed
out there to smoke.
There are a dozen men out there"
was the reply. How am 1 to know
which one belongs to you? What kind
of looking man is he?"
Handsome. He is tall, he wears
blue suit. and he's got the incest black
mustache and the kindest brown eyes

The conductor went away, only to re-
turn moment later, presenting a lugu-
brious cast of countenance.

says you amt his wife. He says he

THE TIPPING TYRANNY.

Two energetic, Woodworking little
business women, says the New York
Tribune, had finished their meager
luncheon at restaurant. They were
figuring out the amount of their
checks, and decided that they owed 20
and % cents, respectively.
Are you going to give tip?"
the little one asked.
"I'm tempted not to-" returned the
other. 1.-THE nerve and impudence of
these horrd men walters are becom-
ing unbearable."
81 shall never, never, tip again."
said the little one, firmly. "Yester-

not to notice it, but as I was about

TO LENGTHEN WAIST LINE.

The woman who wears round skirt
and who looks short and stout in II
can lengthen her figure by lengthen-
ing her belt line
This is easily done. Put on a round
skirt and hook it around the waist
Now put on a blouse coat and pull If
down in the front. Pull it as low as
possible and fasten it with a short
nat pin or with any kind of a patent
fastener.
Put on the belt, pull 1t low in front
and fasten it with fancy pin. This
will give the long, full low waist curve
which is much desired.
There is a clever way of accomnlisb-
ing this same feat with a shirt waist
Put on the shirt waist and pull it low
in the middle of the front. Now nut
on the skirt and let it dip in the front
The front dip is fashionable even with
the round skirt, and many of the 1870
skirts are cut with a very low point
in front, though perfectly round 9th
erwise.
The same is true of the 1860 skirts
Though they are round and full, they
are cut with the dip in front. This din
which is made by scooping out the
front of the skirt in a big curve is
fitted with a band, which is hooked
around the waist. passing under a
catch in front to hold IL down Tho
whole matter is very similar TO the din
front, which has been the vogue for =
season or two.

They had heard of committees, and
one was appointed to go on foraging
expedition. fearful entreaties brought
forth lemons several varieties of crack
ers of the extensively advertised kind,
and few stale cakes. Armed with
this ammunition, the committee start
ed back, but hunger overlook them.
Right in the middle of the road they
sat down, the three of them, and pro-
ceeded to fill themselves. When they
had finished there was nothing left
but few crumbs and many stains.
The appearance of the committee
caused considerable apprehension
among the others. Soon the games
failed to interest them, and around
the tree they all sat, each hungry lit
tie girl gazing wistfully down the road.
Finally they could stand it no longer,
and another committee was sent out
to search for the first. When they
found out what had happened the party
broke up then and there.
With woebegone faces the little ones
directed their steps homeward. A
mother of one of them went out to
meet them.
why, I thought you were holding
a party" said she.
Yes, but the committee ate it," And
that was all the information she could
get.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL FUNCTION.

1t was the first party, says the New
York Times, that the little ones had
ever held, and they had meant il to
be so successful. They were ten girls
and not one of them was more than
eight years old. Their older sisters
had had a glorious time the week be-
fore, at which the youngsters enjoyed
the privilege of looking on.
One of their number had then decid-
ed that they. too, would hold a party.
Theirs was to be an invitation affair.
and the invitations were to be writ
ten on white paper and inclosed in
real envelopes. True, when the time
came to write them white paper was
not available. but then the piece around
the meat from the butchers made
a good substitute. and those who re-
ceived the invitations did not object
because of the lack of envelopes. The
attractive feature of the party, how
ever, was the fact that no one was
TO bring anything. The note said this,
and everybody went expecting ice
cream and cakes and lemonade. and
they had even dreamed of pie.
The young lady who had guaranteed
all these things in fear and trembling
went TO consult her mother the day be-
fore the party. Scat" was all the
mother said, but that was sufficient
10 cause the little girl 10 think life
was not worth the living.
Bright and early on the morning Of
the party the little girls met under
a spreading elm tree. Not till then
was II discovered that there wasn't a
thing % eat, A. me beginning q lit
tie thing like that did not feaze them.

NO ONE HAS LEISURE NOW.

Leisure seems to be an attribute
or quality or whatever you choose to
call it, that has become altogether OBJ

family, according to the New York
Tribune. Nobody has any leisure
nowadays" she repeated, whatever
their age position or means, and how
my mother and aunts could have ac-
complished what they say the used to
do passes my comprehension. They
were Southern women. and after the
war were very poor, but they made
out in society, wore pretty gowns which
they made themselves, Numbered their
own pricesless laces, every thread of
which had to be pricked out on a
pillow, and kept the most hospitable
open house with only two maids. I
can remember now, how the cousins
and their friends used to come and 90
in the old homestead. always getting
a warm welcome and plenty to eat.
My aunts used to make cake, help
with especial dishes, arrange the
flowers, dust their Dresden china. of
which they were very proud, besides
all the things that have already
enumerated, and yet found more over
time to read all the new novels. for
they were all great novel readers. They
were all soft-Voiced women, with gem
tie manners, and never seemed in n
hurry. Now, how could thy do ali
that within the twenty-four hours

Yes, ma'am," said the conductor.
Again he retired to the rear OF the
car. When he came through the next
time he nodded at Mrs. Standish en-
couragingly. Its all right" he said,
He paid up"
After a while the car stopped at Mrs.
Standsh's street. She went out the

How very careless he is" said Mrs.
Standish, Ito allow himself to be car

She stood at the corner looking anx-

another car stopped and Standish got
off.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF KISSES.

To steal a kiss. says a French writ
er, is natural; to buy kiss is stupid
ity; for two girls to kiss is a loss of
time; not to kiss at all is an insignif-
canoe; for two men to kiss Is quite
ridiculous; to kiss the hand or the tips
of the fingers is droll; to kiss ones
sister is proper to kiss ones wife is
an obligation; kissing a Child is often
a regret for not being permitted to kiss
the mother; to kiss an ugly person
is gallantry; to kiss an old, faded wild
ow shows great devotedness, but to
kiss a young, blushing widow is a
charm; to kiss ones waiting maid is
very dangerous; to kiss ones affianced
IS a generalization and right; an
old, rich aunt, 1t is hypocrisy; a young
cook in the bloom of age is delicious,
dainty; to kiss a neighbors' wife is
doubtless very good, but quite wrong:
kissing three girls the same day is
an extravaganza; a girl whose father
Is watching her, it may make one
jump over the fence; to kiss mother
in-law is a sacrifice; an old maid, it
is pohteness; finally kiss TO ones
mother is the purest, the sweetest of
all kisses.

her knock, a sweet faced, white haired
old lady opened the door.

she replied in answer to the others

but l think you're the kind 1 want"
she continued, after a keen look at
the pretty young matron. Come in,
my dear and We'll talk it over. You

in the dark little parlor. i've lived
in this house for forty years come
next September. l came here a bride,
and my children were all born here.
Now they're all married, and my hus-
band and l are going to live near my
youngest daughter, in Pennsylvania.
We've sold the old place, and the house
is going to be torn down, and a street
run straight through our yard. It's
bad enough to let the old house go, al
though it seems a lonely place to us
now, and they've given us a fine price
for it. But those living things, that 1
planted with my own hands and that
are so sweet and pretty still, l can't
abide to let them be torn up or given
to those who won't care for them, so

in some place where flower lovers will
see it, and will be glad to give them a

she asked, almost beseechingly of lit

a pretty home of your own, or you

and a fashionably dressed young wom-
an, Enthusiastically New Yorker, threw
aside the astounded zap like a minia-
ture whirlwind. STOPPING down, she
gathered the poor terrified little old
woman into her strong young arms and
gently lifted her to her feet. She
soothed her with soft words. She brush
ed her gown and she picked up the
overturned lunch even to the last
straying apple, Then, when all was
done, she turned upon the sullen old
man and delivered herself of a last flu
SHADE. .
"A man who speaks to his wife as
you have done is nothing but a brute.
You don't deserve to have a wife. In
stead of looking after her and helping
her when she went up those steps you
left her to fall. And then when she
was hurt and frightened you abused
her. Now, if you think you can be
kind to her and take care of her. you
may have her. But don't ever let me
catch you treating her in that way
again." And this modern Fury swung
off down the path. leaving a dazed
and meek Yap in her wake.
