Shopping Etiquette for Women.


Etiquette among women seems to
be forgotten when they enter the
shopping district. How many women
engaged in the life and death strug-
gle of gaining a SO shirtwaist for
S1.9S remember their ladyhood when
their best friend holds a waist which
they covet? Were it not better a
thousand times that a third woman
should bear off the uncertain prize,
than that friends should come to
grief in a primitive fight for posses
sion? However, primitive as it may
be to struggle over bargain counters,
1t is also waste of energy, and the
woman who has evoluted furthest
obtains what she wants in subtler
fashion. She sees that there is just
one waist which she wants in that
sale, and that 1t is in the hand of her
neighbor. Does she snatch ii from
her? No; she selects an inferior one
next to it, studies it absorbingly, in
CURES the price, and seems about to
purchase. Such is the psychology of
woman that the neighbor drops the
she nor any one else is the wiser
when the former is borne away in
triumph. Is it trickery, then, that
is coming in vogue? Well, even so.
1t is better than pitched battles, and
the modern woman who thinks finds
that courtesy pays. Shopping is
woman's fetch, but let her elevate
h1 Ia 4
remember that saleswomen are not
automatons, wound up in the morn
ing warranted to run all day. They
are the shoppers best friends or
dearest foes. The less she takes of
their time and endurance the pleas
anter will be her shopping excursion.
Here are few hints which will help
every woman better to appreciate
these much-tired sisters:
When you are just looking" do
not disturb the clerks. You can get
all the information you require by
keeping your eyes open as you walk
through the shops.
Never start to buy an article until
you have money in your purse or in
the bank. 1t is a keen disappoint-
ment to clerk to work up a sale and
then have it spoiled by the customer
suddenly remembering that she can
not buy "to-day"
Then again, do not be sharp or dis
agreeable If the clerk is Indifferent.
She has become accustomed to shop
pers who are cleaning ideas by which
to make their summer wardrobes at
home. She doubtless places you in
this class, so that it will pay you to
tell her at the start that you are
ready to buy in case you can find just
what you want.-Washington Times.

wait, and wait, till they either be-
come confirmed bachelors, or reach
middle age and marry young wom-
an for other charms than beautyl
That does not mean that beauty
never gets chance of marriage. Not
at all Yet 1t results in a decreased
number of marriages. In addition to
the fact that some men become bach
elors, there is the parallel fact that
the young women who have had to
wait often decide to remain single
and retire, for all practical purposes,
from the field. They would have
been prepared to marry in the earlier
years, but they are standing of in
their mature days, just as the young
men did in their twenties, says Home
Notes. This is a curious theory, but
we do not venture to say that It Is
entirely without foundation.

About New Braids.

Quantities of braid are used on all
the dresses this season, and cos
tunes of deep purple cloth. fash
ioned with cape boleros and adorned
with black and silver or black and
gold Russian braid, will represent
another very important feature of
spring wear. Smart black and white
checked cloth costumes, which are
equally popular, are trimmed with
guards red cloth and broad black
silk fancy braid. A noticeable point
about the new trimmings is that the
wide plain braids are usually over
laid with narrow braid with q thread
of gold or silver running through it,
this being maneuvered into circular
motifs or into variety of different
designs.

Too Many Good Looking Girls.

In their efforts to discover the rea-
sons for the declining marriage rate
some of the seekers after truth find
certain explanations which sound
very strange. The latest idea on the
subject is that there are too many
good looking girls. Young men did
not always have the same selection
as they have in our day. There were,
Of course, pretty and beautiful girls
in all ages. but they were fewer than
at present. Athletic exercises and
intelligent care of the body, assisted
by higher education, have evolved a
race Of girls which is. as a race, far
superior to the generation to which
our grandmothers belonged. "What
splendid girls one sees everywhere!"
is a common cry nowadays. Well,
having such feast of prettiness, so
TO speak, the young men have grown
exacting and want still. more. They

sashes and Hair Ribbons.

Sashes and hair ribbons are
bought from the same bolt of ribbon,
since all fashionable ribbons are of
soft chiffon texture, and the hair bow
must be of ample proportions to be
smart. Plain or warp print" rib
bons that can be had with any flow
er or in any color desired, are equally
fashionable. Some of the prettiest
frocks seen recently had sashes or
beltings of velvet ribbon, black or
brown, run through embroidered
beading about four and half
inches in width; the velvet ribbon
finishing in double cravat bows with
out ends at the center back.

Boots to Match.

Undoubtedly the smartest boot for
fine wear matches the costume For
plum-colored or navy-blue costume
in broadcloth the ideal boot is made
of finest leather .(patent, shiny or
mat, as one prefers), with the tops
to match. Whatever the color worn,
this holds good, and it is good style
with gray or white. Cheaper, yet
smart, are CATERS to match the
dress. White ones are affected with
black velvet dresses, while mode and
gray are generally worn. 1t is smart
est to have them match the dress, ex-
cept the light ones are worn in bar-
monious contrast.

A New Lace.

Cotton braid commingled with a
coarse type of soutache goes to the
fashioning of the newest lace, which
is known as Irish cord point. Elab-
crate hand stitchery fills in the in
tervening spaces, and in the form of
complete robes, trimmings and
blouses it is certain to be largely in
demand. 1t harmonizes beautifully
with linen frocks. Motifs of white
cotton braid, chiefly in the form of
marguerites with solid crochet cen
tres, adorn many of the lace boleros
and blouses which are being pre-
pared for wearing with corselet
skirts.
