WHY He DECLINED.

Come, take a beer with me, old
man." said Mr.. Balm to his chum,
waving his hand, says the New York
Times, toward a saloon.
Nay" replied Mr.. Horn. II have
made by last trip to a saloon.
MY wife is woman who keeps a
fellow guessing, and always manages
to have her own way. You know the
horror of being ridiculed.'
"One evening she and I, with our
little daughter, 10 years old, were re-
turning from a theater. The night was
so fine that we decided to walk home.
AS we passed a brilliantly lighted sa-
loon, l said to my wife:
You and Ruth walk on, and 1 will

use of the Empress. Among these
prepare tions was a toilet cream, the
recipe for which has never been made
public and is now in the possession of
an American family.
The circumstance which led to the
possession of the formula of this
cream may be thus briefly related. A
few months after the death of the EN-
press Josephine, a well-known French
woman was informed by her maid,
who was also her almoner, that a
French woman without friends in the
city was dying in the charitable ward
of a London hospital. She interested
herself in the case, but the patient was
beyond medical aid, and one day, re-
alizing the approach of death, she ask
ed to receive a visit from her unknown
benefactor. The dying woman then
revealed herself as Nine. Chevalier,
who had been a confidential maid of
the Empress Josephine. Wishing to
render some return for the efforts
made in her behalf, she then presented
to her benefactors a recipe for the
cream which had been intrusted to her
alone by the chemist at the time of
his death in 1906.
The original document as handed
over by the dying woman in the year
1918 is still in possession of the family
of the woman to whom it was given.
Naturally it is highly valued, since 1t
has been constantly used, though the
formula has never been disclosed to
any person outside of the family. The
empress Josephine was able to retain
her youthful appearance at an ad-
vanced age largely because of the re-
markable virtues of this preparation.
Recently the owners of the formula
determined that a wider use of such
a historic preparation should be made,
and they have entered into an ar
rangement for it's manufacture and
sale in this country, the first condi-
ton being that the formula be strictly
observed and no other ingredients used
except those which Josephine approved
and which made her complexion and
youthful appearance the envy Of the
courts of Europe.

BOTH SID-c OF A STORY.

The recipient of both side of story
has often a good deal Of quiet 'amuse-
ment, says the New York Tribune.
Il found one of those pretty new
chains that X charges such exorbi
tant prices for at little shop in Sixth
avenue and bought it for a song"
said a visitor to Mrs. M. The next
day." she continued, Il met Mrs. A,
who also had one on. Isn't it hor-
rid she said to me, / hear that our
chains have been copied at some cheap
place where they sell them for moth
ing!' OF course, 1, too, expressed my
disgust, and said it was really too bad
that as soon as the expensive places
brought out anything new and one
paid large sum for it, it was sure to
be reproduced elsewhere and sold at
cut prices. All the time 1 was chuc-
king to myself over the knowledge
that 1 had paid 81 for what had cost
her $10.''
1t was Mrs. Ms day at home, and
a little later Mrs. A came in. Il
have good joke on Mrs. s." she
said, mentioning the name of the pre-
vious visitor Il bought his chain for
81 and she gave $40 at KS for one ex-
actly like it. l carried out splendid
bit of bluff when 1 met her with hers
the other day, and said how trying it
was to have our expensive things cop
led at cheap places. OF course she
never suspected that 1 had come by
mine in like fashion" 1T was a very
good joke!" said Mrs. M, who SEEM
ed much amused.

EAT BEFORE DINING OUT.

A woman well versed in the customs
of good society will never so far dis
grace herself as to go hungry to dinner
at a friends house. To do so will be
vulgar in the extreme. If she desires
to show proper regard for her hostess
she will take something before going
1t may be just cup of hot tea, per-
haps a stimulant in the way of cup Of
black coffee; or, better than all, a cup
of hot milk and a biscuit This braces
up the nerves, stays the stomach and
keeps the body well nourished until it
is time for dinner.
The woman who sets out for a for
NAL dinner party without eating any
thing before she goes runs the risk of
faintness and dullness before the din
ner hour. She is certainly much less
alert than the one who takes a bite be-
fore starting out.
The most successful beauties are
those who do not eat a great deal at 4
dinner party. They take a bite of this
and taste of that, but nothing mora.
They do not pretend to do more THIN
taste the dishes, and they are rewarded
for their abstemiousness by the bill
liant complexion, the clear eyes, and
the sharp wits of the woman who II at
peace with her digestion.
Great beauties eat very little and
what they do eat is of the simples ana
most nourishing sort. While they
never refuse delicacies, they do nlt eat
heartily of them, reserving the APPETITE
for the simpler and more nouishing
yiands

ish as a matter of course.
Many of these women are most fas-
tidious about the brands they smoke,
and in numerous cases West End to-
bacconists mix special tobaccoes to
please distinguished customers.
In almost all cases the most popular
cigarettes for women are gold tipped
or coated at the end with a thicker
paper. Very few women use holders;
it is not considered the right thing.
At most of the private dances held
in town cigarettes are generally
smoked in the intervals between the
dances. Men and girls compete with
each other in blowing smoke rings and
letters in the air. A peers daughter is
accomplished in the art of smoking
the cigarette with the lighted end in
her mouth.
Smoking has been quite a common
practice in womenS clubs for some
time, and rooms are set apart espe-
cially for smoking.
West End tobacconists include many
well-known women among their GUS
toners, and in the opinion of West
End jewellers the most popular gifts
sold last Christmas time were cigar
cite cases in gold and enamel prettily
jeweled and monogrammed. The coun-
try house parties-riots of license-re-
veal the fact that about nine of ten
women guests smoke, and they do it
openly with the men. After dinner the
men and women talk scandal and tell
stories over the wine and cigarettes.

BACK TO THE BARREL SKIRTS.

With the perseverance of the histori-
cal spider, Dame Fashion, after her
abortive attempts for several seasons,
has at last succeeded in compelling her
subjects to adopt the full gathered
skirts. For several successive years,
says the New York Tribune, she has
tried to bring about this result, and
failed. The dressmaker and the manu-
facturers demanded a change which
would be obviously to their advantage,
but milady was obdurate. She loved
the long clinging lines of drapery
which she was conscious suited her so
well, and refused to give them up.
This year, however, for some reason,
she has suddeny changed her mind, and
is adopting the new fashion (Which she
declares perfectly hideous) with I'M
questioning meekness consoling herself
with the reflection that it is at least a
radical change, and that her wardrobe
Will require thorough renovation.
This is necessity which, although re-
curing more thought and attention
than usual, is not without it's attrac-
ton to the mind feminine.
1t is amusing however, to hear the
discussions which their acceptation of
the inevitable has evoked among the
fair votaries of fashion. ''Of course,
we will look simply hideous," they all
declare, ''but what is one to do, one
cannot be out of the fashion,
Il do not know which style will suffer
most" remarked a fashionable girl who,
was bewailing the advent Of the full
1880 skirt. THE tall slim girls who will
lose the advantage of their slender
lines, or the short stout ones who will
look like tubs"
Just look at me, girls" exclaimed a
belated guest at a woman's luncheon.
My new Paris spring costume arrived
this morning, and put it on just as it
was. / feel like a barrel with all these
pleats and shirring on my hips and am
going straight to a dressmaker to have

Some women are in open revolt about
the new skirt and declare that nothing
will induce them to wear it-but they
will come into line nevertheless,andt the
long, clinging, graceful garment is un.
doubtedly a thing of the past. And

GROW LAX IN THEIR HABITS.

For centuries the women of England
have maintained a reputation for OBJ
serving all the proprieties of life with
a punctliousness that could not be
surpassed. When advised to do any
thing out of the ordinary their first
question has been, Would it be
proper" OF late. however. their
strictness seems to have relaxed q lit
tie, and we hear of them doing hith-
erto inconceivable things for English
women.
1t would appear that the habit of
smoking is growing among women and
the girl schools apparently are reeking
with cigarette smoke. These girls do
not seem to be abashed by letting the
world know of their habit. and many
girls in their school smoke. Doctors
have taken sides pro and con and the
discussion wakes hot.
1t would appear to be a fact that the
smoking habit already is firmly fixed
in society, and il is no uncommon
sight to see alleged smart women
light a cigarette in certain public res
taurants and hotel cafes. In West
End restaurants, where fashionable
people lunch and dine every day. woRl-
