WHEN ETIQUETTE WAS RIGID
Man of Fashion, a Century or SO Ago,
Had Many Difficulties to Con-
tend With.

Women considered it unladylike in
grandmother's day to walk rapidly. Elk
tremely rapid walking is not usually
graceful, but so far as being a sign
of bad breeding there seems to be 70
such idea nowadays. If woman has
to cover certain distance on foot in
a limited time nowadays she acceler-
ates her pace accordingly. 1t is un-
comfortable, but hardly bad manners.
The man of fashion had many more
difficulties to encounter in going about
in society than he has now when draw
ing room furniture is more substantial
and when there are neither hoOpskirts
nor trains to become tangled in ones
boots or spurs. A hundred years ago,
observes a writer in the New York Sun,
it was not so easy, and a book Of de-
cOrum for young men, written a century
ago, describes the plight of the aWk-
ward fellow who when he first comes
into drawing room, attempts to bow,
with the result that "his sword, If he
wears one, goes between his legs and
nearly throws him down." and proceeds
from one gaucherie to another during
his presence in q drawing room. A
great deal used to be said about the
manner in which a young man sat in
chair. To sit up stiff1y was to in
dictate aWkWardness and timidity. To
loll back was rude and indicated vul-
garity. He was, therefore, urged to
lean with elegance" against the back
and arms Of his chair and "by varying
his attitude from time to time show
he was used to good society"

HNambv Pamby.D

There is much curious employment
for the speculative person in consid-
ering the origin of things and
phrases. There is, in fact, an altogeth-
or unexpected and rich field of strange
learning to be acquired in this direc-
ton by one who has the will to 1t.
How, for instance, did the odd express
sion "namby-pamby" arise, to Indicate
some one of a mild and jejune nature,
a milksop? The original Mandy Pam
by was mild and wellmeaning pO-
etaster, Ambrose Phillips, who flour
ished in the Eighteenth century, and
was the butt Of the critics of that age.
Pope satirized him, and we find Carey
writing, Nurses got by heart Mandy
Pamby's little rhymes" The express
sion is thus seen TO be I'm it's origin q
play upon a personal name.

EMERSON'S ONE LOVE AFFAIR
Great Preacher Won the Girl of His
Heart, but Their Mutual Happ-
ness Was Short.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, New Eng
lands famous preacher and philoso-
pher, fell in love but once, and then
for good. He was only twenty-fOur
when he met pretty little Ellen Tucker,
then sixteen, the daughter of Boston
merchant.
He did not see her for a whole year
after this, but her fair face and fig
ure remained in his memory. Then
he returned to Concord, where she was
living with her mother and stepfather.
He became deeply infatuated with this
beautiful and delicate creature, whose
physical charms brought forth a re-
Spouse from his imagination rather
than from his senses. But Ellen was
not only beautiful. She wrote fairly
clear-cut verse, says a commentator,
at a time when it was quite unusual
for women to indulge in such mental
exercise
During their courtship Ellen, Or
"the beautiful friend" as Emerson
POLITICALLY called her, was seriously i'll.
But she improved rapidly and six
months later they were married.
But Ellen's span of life was short,
and their time together limited. A
fatal lung trouble triumphed over med
zeal attention, and when she was but
twenty years old she died

DIRE CONFUSION OF NATURE
Volcanic Disturbance of 1888 One Of
the Most Violent of Which There
Is Any Record.

KrakatOa, volcanic island in the
Strait of Sunda, between Java and
Sumatra, was in 1883 the scene of
one of the most tremendous volcanic
disturbances on record. The crater
walls fell in, together with q part OF
the ocean bed, carrying with it two
thirds Of the island, which had Il total
area before the eruption of Is square
miles, and creating two small islands.
which subsequently disappeared. AT
the same time a gigantic ocean wave
inundated the adjoining coasts Of Java
and Sumatra, causing a loss of $500
lives and the destruction of 800 viii
lagos, and then careered round the en-
tire globe. The noise of the eruption
was heard for a distance of 1000 and
even 5000 miles. The occurrence like
wise set up a series of cOncentric at
mospheric waves which Travelled at
least three times around the earth.
The dust and other finely COM
minuted debris cast up by the eXplo-
sion gave rise during three years or
more to weird sun CLOVIS of wondrous
beauty, those seen in Canada and 9th
er parts OF North America in NOvem-
Der, 1883, being especially grand.

WHERE APPEAL IS USELESS
Ancients Seem to Have Had the Right
Idea in Their Attitude Toward
Inevitable Death.

What happens to us when we die!
What does it feel like to pass out OF
this earthly life and enter the I'M
known beyond?
An interesting answer comes from a
group Of psychologists. Their obserVa-
tons are that, in the dying hour, the
sense of smell is the first to fail.
Then, in order, the dying person loses
taste, sight, touch, hearing.
Thus the five senses pass. Outward
~, death seems to have taken place.
But how about the sixth sense-con-
sciousness? Many medical men be-
lieye the brain is conscious, sometimes,
as long as 20 minutes after the five
senses are gone.
Everyone has heard of people who
had visions of angels, music and a
flood of bright light, in the moment
of passing from the material world.
Why fear death? Life is only a
journey, death only a change. The
ancients contemplated death without
fear and met it with Indifference.
They accepted it as inevitable, hence
never raised affairs to it as they did to
things that might change-misfOrtu
fever, volcanic eruptions or the god
Of rain
They recognized that there was no
use in appealing to death, the Great
venture-Cincinnati Post.

FASHIONS I'M BRIEF

There is d very wide fabric range
and color listing is equally generous.
Spanish lace is one Of the important
accessories as well as metal laces
Satin and cire ribbon are frequent
ly seen as trimming for collar, edge of
cape and sleeves.
The new leg o mutton sleeves diff
fer from the Oldtime ones in that
there is no extra fullness on the upper
arm.
Many Of the new hats show but
little trimming, a gracefully and be-
comingly draped veil being all that is
required
Some advance season blouse models
are of crepe de chine in such colors
as orchid, peach, maize, dahlia, ETC.,
with half-inch checks in white.
Many biouses that are only waist
length are finished, at the waistline
so that they may be worn over the
skirt without separate belt or Cir
die.
There are all sorts of interesting
girdle ornaments. There are clasps
of wrought silver or gold inlaid with
stones. These are attached to the ends
of wide metallic ribbon that forms the
girdIes that are placed tight about the
hips on many evening and afternoon
t.ocks.

As 1t Sounded to Him.

Shirley Brooks, one Of the most bril-
liant Englishmen Of his time, associ-
ated with Thackeray and the famous
Mark Lemon in the editorial manage
ment of Punch, had mind filled with
poetry and he often wrote admirable
verses himself. But he had no knOWl-
edge of or love for music. Nevertheless,
in his role as reporter for some Lon
don newspaper Brooks one time had
been called upon to write of concert
critically. He wondered how he was
"going to get away with it," and this
is how he did it:
cover the deep abyss Of bass there
floated, like a poised lark, silvery
cloud Of treble, amid which the shrill
tremolo of the higher strings seemed
quiveringly to glitter like the arrows
of sunshaft through the mist of early
morning.

Who's Who?

The child, the pride Of the neighbOr-
hood because of his keen intelligence,
was left to play at the home of a neigh
bOr There was something different
about this home that seemed to attract
the child more than any other. Here
he was amused by an elderly man,
who read, played the piano, slept and
did nothing to mark him as the head
of q household His wife on the other
hand carried on q successful depart
ment store where she spent twelve Of
the twenty-fOur hours.
This condition seemed quite con-
trary to the child's conception of
domestic life. TO him the duty of the
head of the house was to leave after
breakfast for business and return at
night to dinner, while the wife was to
stop at home and attend to the house
hold duties. The child's mother re-
turned and noticed that the child
looked puzzled, but could not put his
query into words. Finally he asked:
Mother, is she a heT'-New York

Teheran Has Twelve GatcWays.

''At the distance, Teheran, built in
great part of the mud on which it
stands, is only distinguished from the
surrounding plain by the green trees of
its many gardens" writes Ella c.
Sykes in Persia and It's People," 'but
as the traveller gets nearer he will see
the outline of the consolidated city wall
and the tiled domes and minarets of
mosques He will enter the town by
a grandiose, gateway adorned with
glazed bricks in patterns, the prevail
ing tones being blue and yellow, re-
lieved with black and white, the whole
giving a touch of splendor to it's
squalid surroundings.
"These gateways are II in number /;
some are adorned with the exploits of
Rustum, the Hercules and knight-er-
rant of Persia, and others depict the
Persian solder of today-all of them,
however, look best at a distance, and
do not bear a close examination"
