The woman sat at her dressing table
and gazed into her mirror.
The Woman-Only an idiot can feel
cheerful at all times.
The Mirror-There is a difference be.
tween feeling cheerful and beins
cheerful. The habit of constant cheer
fulness is an art. 1t is harder to culti-
vate than music or good manners II
is true riches. A quantity of cheerful
ness slowed away in the disposition is
a better provision against old age than
any sum of money in the bank.
The Woman-You are becoming quite
a philosopher. with your sage refec-
tions.
The Mirror-I call them my beauty
reflections. They are fragments of the
varied life pictures which have f1oated
into my bosom. I have learned thai
with beautiful smile no woman is be-
reft of beauty.
The Woman=I smile-on occas sions-
but not beautifully.
The Mirror-It is as impossible I'd
smile, on occasions. as it is to smile
with the lips alone. A true smile is
something born deep down in the heart
and which beams from the eyes and
the mouth and the whole being by the
force of it's warmth. 1t is a breaking
forth of inward light.

~ AfIlS, july ZZ.-Ino last lash
ionable gathering of the sea-
son was held at the Polo club
yesterday afternoon. The
company was an unusually distinguish
ed one for this time of the year. Con-
spicuous in the crowd of beautifully
gowned women was the Comtesse
Matthew de NoaiNes, who was looking
particularly graceful and attractive in
a costume of soft silk in pale lilac, with
CLEANS of silver about the sleeves and
collar. A large cravat of plated lawn
and valenciennes lace gave her coat
charming directoire air. The hat that
crowned the masses of her dark hair
was of silverish white crinoline laden
with lilac blossoms. This dainty little
contesse was receiving congratulations
on all sides upon the success of her
latest book, La Domination" volume
full Of delightful impressions and much
original keenness of perception. But amid
her books and study she does not over
look the charm and coquetry of the
toilet. Indeed it is no longer fashion
able not to be well read and well in
formed. The trivial gossip of a limited
circle. the lack of an absorbing interest
except in dress and domestic matters
dates back to some years ago. Even
the young girls one meets in society
now are far better schooled in the
worlds progress than the older women.
who have willfully allowed themselves
to be left behind through mental lazi-
ness. The modern girl, to be sure, has
bad manners, and she is proverbially
self seeking, but she does realize that
brains are necessary to get her on in the
world and that it is part of her busi-
ness in life to have a hobby of some
kind. Many of the mothers of today
gave up their lessons when they left
school, but their daughters of eighteen
know that if they are to succeed and
hold their own study is necessary The
French converts are adopting more
modern curriculums and up to date in
struction is given. A girl brought UP
in the modern fashion is less Of a bore
to other people and does not think of
eloping with the coachman or chauffeur
as did the romantic young lady of yore.
But to get down to the business of
clothes. At the present moment there
are two infectious diseases abroad-the
midsummer sales and bridge. The
strongminded may risk loosine their
money at bridge, but not on the bargain
counter The great trouble is that
these fantastic sales follow too closely
on the heeis OF the extravagant sum-
n1er trousseau. The provident manager
VIII doubtless say. "AIl the more rea-

you let her in for a length of something
you are piniRg for. At least this has
been my experience over and over
again from which have now drawn the
moral, Always go bargaining alone"
Plaids in shadow effects are to be
found at the sales and later on will
make attractive little gowns In the

Not long ago an American woman
opened a tea shop in the Faubourg ST.
Germain. This enterprising woman had
lived for some time in China and knew
perfectly how to brew the cheering cup,
SO when overteken by financial adver-
sity she opened this fascinating little
tea room. 1t isgfurnished in yellow
with expensive Chinese ilangings and is
patronized by fashionable folk of all
nationalities. At the present moment
the smart travelling public from Ameri-
ca are most in evidence slipping tea
from beautiful porcelain, while the talk
of itineraries flows fast and furious.
After a run in the Bois de BouIogne I
dropped in there a short while ago and
had the pleasure of seeing a number of
dainty gowns. A pale green and white
check with Irish lace insertion, set a
jour above the hem, of the skirt de-
serves especial mention. The bodice,
a blouse affair, was trimmed in the
same way. The belt of white kid was
| held by a buckle of green enamel, and
| the tricorne hat was of white crinoline
oddly decked with a mass of waving
green wheat.
Very fresh and sweet was a dress OF
white cambric with ered spot belted
with red, and decorated at the neck
