American women are the best dress
ed women in the world. Why, the tall
ors who cut the coats and skirts I've
seen on New York women since coming
here ought to receive medals 1 never
saw such good dressing or good groom
ing before. In Australia you can't get
a decent hat or suit unless it is i'm
ported.
And the American puts on her
clothes like nobody else i'm the world.
English women are dowdy, French wo-
men dress horribly; but if an Ameri-
can is wearing only a shirtwaist and
walking skirt she looks well dressed
and smart, the cut is so elegant and the
taste so good"

There is no excuse for aching feet
and illftting shoes in these enlightened
days. Shoes were never more smooth
ly finished, better made or sold more
reasonably than now, and if feet suf-
fer then the fault lies with the indivi-
dual.
A rightly chosen shoe means to wo-
men comfort, happiness and the alb
sence of those telltale lines about the
forehead, which bespeak corns or tight
fitting shoes.
There are at least six women in Eng
land whose good looks brings them in
from $1,000 to $4,000 a year, and there
are at feast one hundred who are in
receipt of incomes ranging from $3.50
to $1,250 year from royalties on the
sale of their photographs.
Mrs Langtry is supposed to hold the
record for this sort of money-making.
When the craze over her was at it's
height 100000 photographs of the "Jer-
sey Lily" were sold in Great Britain
their fair subject receiving 6 cents a
copy and clearing $5O,OOO Mary Ander-
sons photographs also had a huge sale,
going at the rate of something like 1OO,-
900 a year for a decade. Maud Jeffries,
the American girl who played Mercia
in Wilson's Barrett's Sign of the
Cross" made $4,000 in less than two
years out of Photographic royalties,
while Edna May is supposed to have
done even better. During the run of
1.-The Belle of New York in London
the Syracuse girls portraits were being
distributed in England at the rate of
5000 a week.
This is the "cure" month throughout
the Cars dominion, and, as usual, the
columns of the newspapers are filed
with correspondence regarding preva-
lent diseases and their cure. Some of
the matter is extraordinary, and be-
trays incredible superstition on the
part of it's advocates. The Kruimski
Viestnik, for instance, is publishing
ali animated correspondence between
doctors as to the claim of a feldscher
named Rumaintseff to cure dropsy,
rheumatism, and scrofula by means of
a preparation of cockroaches.. The
Theodosia Zemstvo ordered its medical
officer, DR.. Ruimsha, to inquire into the
matter, and he reported favorably on
the new "cure."

Mrs. Style-I want a hat, but it must

White satin and point lace have for
so many years-it may be said so many
bupdrad WOO rs-haeu copsidarad Tho
regulation attire for a fashionable we'd
ding gown that to conservative minds
it seems incredible there should be any
thing else possible. Dame Fashion has,
however learned many a new rule OF
late years, and she is clever enough to
recognize that no longer are her follow
ers to be tied down to hard and fast
laws, but that there must needs be
more than an exception to prove the
rule, and consequently there is infn-
itely more variety both in style and
material allowed in the modern we'd
ding gown.
After ALL beautiful and effective as
are satin and point lace, they are not
becoming to all styles Of beauty. and
in many instances in these days of ex-
tremely youthful brides much more
youthful and suitable in appearance are
the fascinating gowns made Of chiffon
or with quantities of lace entredeux
and fiOunces.
Jane Hading's wedding gown as worn
by her in lie Maitre des FORCES" is a
charming example of this same youth
ful style Of form. Exquisite are the
lines of the model, while the soft folds
of the plated chiffon seem but to be
accentuated by the lace that is so Law
ishly used, while the beauty of the lace
shows to perfection combined with the
chiffon. The skirt is in a succession
of founces, accordion plated, each fin
lshed with inch dounces of lace. The
body of the waist is of the chiffon, with
bands of lace entredeux and with the
elbow sleeves finished with ruffles of
the lace. The veil may be either of
tulle or lace, as is the more becoming
but it must needs be all-enveloping if
of tullei If of lace it should rather fall
so that while it covers the form at the
