A VAIN RETREAT

ONE day when all was still
~ and mama had gone uptown,
I took a notion to investigate
her cabinet. First I found apple
pies Uml how good they tast-
ed! Going farther I found q
pan of rosy apples and last Of
all, jam. There was a tub Of
water beside the stove, which
was a few feet away. Hearing
noise I turned. Alas! There
stood mama with threatening
stick. I strembled with fear and
climbed on the handles of tho
drawers to the very top of our
high cabinet. Then for few
minutes I felt safe, but when
saw mama take off her hat and
reach for the stepladder 1 again
felt "shakey." As she COM
menced to climb the ladder calm
~ I gave a sudden backward
movement and-splash! thumpi
I had fallen from the cabinet
into the tub Of water. Oh, what

HERE AND THERE.

A man who prides himself on visualiz-
ing a fashion-the term alone is sufficient
to annoy any woman-declares that we
are now wearning on our shoulders those
dropping draperies which knocked over
wine-glasses and dipped into soup last
year, at our wrists says The Queen. 1t
is funny to notice the change in the ex-
preston of our sleeves. Formerly they
looked languid, picturesquely graceful,
sad even; now they are brisk, smart, al
most arch dreadful word)
And they have climbed up to the top
of our shoulders, so high that they have
| left our wrists high and dry and uncov-
cred. The elbow sleeve will, l predict,
hold its own till the summer season.
though now it is neither wise nor becom-
ing. 1t is all very well when long sleeves
| are worn out of doors, but in the house,
with a hard frost of snow outside, an
arm bare to the elbow, accompanying,
of course, a carefully -collared throat. is

breadth of shoulder induced by the mod
ern sleeve, of course, assists the waist
to look its smallest, but l fear there
will be many hour-glass silhouettes to be
met with this year. and. though we have
done picturesqueness to death, the broad
shoulders wasp waist and full hips are
likely to look shockingly exaggerated un-
less we are all very careful. And wo-
men should bear in mind that with a
tiny waist it is extremely rare to see a

SUMMER GOSSIP.

Birmingham has been Represented "a
the Philippines ever since the army mas
been stationed IN the islands, as the Oh
hcers In several instances are either lloni
birmingham, or the army set IN tne
Philippines has been augmented by BIT
mingham women, one going there as
bride a few years ago, and who has just
returned-Mrs. Dewitt, the wife OF Lieu
tenant Dewitt of the Twentieth infantry
and whose arrival was announced ie"
days ago.
Mrs. Dewitt as Miss Bertha Estes was
charming Birmingham belle. ana her
waddine was attended with a great deal
Of military smartness. 1t was on VISIT
70 her brother, Capt. Henson Estes, OF
the Twentieth infantry, that LIEUTENANT
Dewitt met Miss Estes, and after their
marriage they went at once to tne Fhii-
ippines. where Mrs. Dewitt has been one
of the most admired young women In the
American colony.
Captain Estes, who is West POINTER
and who has been in active service
number of years, married a charming
California girl, and during his last leave
Oh dDSGlte lt spent SoAAiN AiAN'AN--@
birmingham Mrs. Estes accompanying
her husband.
Other Birmingham people in the Phil
ippines are Captain and Mrs. Hardeman,
who have been residing in one of the pro-
vinces for several years. Captain Harde-
man went to the front at the beginning
of the war and he was Joined there by
Mrs. Hardeman, who at that time over
came many obstacles in sailing, as the
United States government did not offer
any inducements to the wives of army
or navy men to follow their husbands.
After Mrs. Hardeman arrived In the
Philippines she sent for her little daugh-
ter, who sailed with her grandmother
some months later. Captain and Mrs.
Hardeman accompanied the Philippine
commissioners to this country last sum-
mer, and In the American party was

young girl with a charming personality

Personally, / have the greatest horror
of things that wear too WELL" proceeded
the loquacious woman; Tin fact, think
there Is nothing more annoying that the
gown Will not wear out" says the New
Orleans Times Democrat. We all know
them only too well-the velvet gown
that no amount of wear seems to affect
however antiquated its cut; the lace
robe that clings with marvellous tenacity
to our wardrobe belongings, despite the
never-to-be mistaken seal of a passe mode
SO plainly stamped upon it. Then, again,
that too durable tailor-made that we sad
ly realize is hopelessly "out of cut" yet
feel that it is much to good to cast
aside. These may well be termed con
science-wearing Clothes" With all the ad-
vantages attending the purchasing of the
most durable" nevertheless there is a
drawback accompanying buying clothes
too costly of their kind--for, with this
fact in mind, there is feeling of COM
polling necessity for one to get their
moneys worth of wear out of them. The
cleaning and regeneration Of dress is,
after all, an unsatisfactory economy, and
it is far wiser to have fewer dresses and
wear them out straightway.
Woman, patnet woman, has been the
target for shafts of advise from the time
of her advent in the Garden of Eden down
to this present day, says the Galveston
Tribune. 1t has tacitly been considered
that to give advice was the husbands
privilege and it has been made the lee
turer's theme, the preachers text and
the resort of the editor when he runs
short of war criticisms or political fore
cases. Woman has been told how to
manage her home, how to spend her in
come, how to raise her children and how
to conduct herself, until it is marvel
that she has not long since risen in ireful
protest. Strange, too, the bulk of this
gratuitous information vouchsafed wo-
man has come from man. When woman
publicly undertakes to tender advice to
those of her own sex it is a rare occa-
sion, so rare that it at once commands
attention, and when the subject of that
advice is the husband, the world respect
fully pauses to listen.
