The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-04-07

naturally rosy cheeks, who was dressed in
a costume of some soft gray stuff with
a gray felt hat that feminine critic de-
clared was made at home to carry out the
general effect of the gown In consid-
Grafton of the fact that neither her hat nor
gown was fashionable she made one Of
the distinct hits" of the night. The other
group consisted of a little mamie was
not over five feet two inches in height
who was in formal evening Dress. and was
accompanied by a small, dark-haired
woman who wore a long trailing cloak of
silvery looking cloth with a high collar
that almost concealed her face. That
they were foreigners was evident When
they left the gallery this impression was
confirmed by the appearance in the hall
Of a tall man-servant dressed in the full
uniform of Cossack. He wore a long
blue coat that reached the ground erna-
mented with wide gold bands and but
tons across the chest, and he carried
sword in his belt in a heavily carved sill
yer sheath. While his master and mis-
tress were in the gallery he stood by the
door of the cloak room, the picture of
self-conscious distress. AS soon as they
reappeared he dived into the crowded
cloak room, reappeared with the desired
garments with a celebrity that spoke well
for his training, and then he slipped the
mans fur-lined coat on, handed him
huge pointed fur cap, and after doffing his
own pointed astrakhan cap, scuttled away
to get the carriage. They spoke to no
one in the rooms, and none of the at
PENDANTS had any idea Of their identity.
CIubwomen have determined to push an
other fad. They will have no more COM
plants of pains or aches, and no use for
fashionable physicians This ought to
make men reconciled to womens clubs. A
never sick class has been organized
among the big clubs of Manhattan, and
it will be positively sinful for a member
to have a headache. Among the stanch
supporters of this "neyer-sick" brigade
are Mrs. Ralph Trautman, president of
the Womens Health Protective associa-
ton; Mrs. Albert Johnson, of the Political
Study club, and Mrs. Amelia M. Calkins,
another member of political study. Mrs.
Calkins says that air, water and sun
shine, with plenty of exercise and right
thinking, leaves no place where disease
can creep in. Many of the clubwomen
have come to look upon illness as almost
sin, and often in speeches are heard to
say, Il am never ill, for / belong to the
never sick class; don't believe in being
sick" To the uninitiated this sounds like
a, most extraordinary sta tement. But it is
known to have transformed many a
seeming invalid into an energetic woman,
who prides herself on never being sick.
Women use only the right ear in teIe-
phoning. If by accident a woman gets
the receiver TO neF IeTC ear Sne lmIno-
diately declares that she cannot hear "a
word" and the person at the other end
Of the line receives no reply until the re-
ceiver is safely placed to the right ear
Il think I'm slightly deaf in my left ear
some of them say, but it is only habit
and there are few men who can hear as
well with the left ear as with the right
One of the pretty spring turbans seen
on the avenue was a tan, with facing of
red moline, band of red velvet round
the brim with rosettes of brown braid
Two mercury wings shading from yell
low to light brown, one on either SIDE
added a pretty finish.
Always dressed in the Stars and Stripes,
Mrs. Edward Jaffray, wife of Capt. Jaf-
fray, of the British army, shows her pa
triotism in most strikingly arranged ball
costumes. One gown she often wears is in
red and white panels, with the stars MAX
ing the waist. And her dresses are so odd
that wherever she goes they are criti-
cised. Tall and dashing she looks stat
uesque in her Stars and Stripes. Before
her marriage she was Miss Jaffray and
kept her name in marrying her husband
She is one of the most genial hostesses
in London, and her wit makes her sought
