BONNETS KITH JETS apropos of jots the tha dainty little bonnets intended to rest upon american heads beads are brilliant with them tiny jet coronets are in the center while tho the moon in crescent shape the evening star and butterflies on tho the wing are all wrought out in the same sparkling material it makes tho chapeau very heavy and it adds to the length of the bill but its extreme prettiness no man ean can deny MES A AND ND WOMEN mir laners I 1 was at an opening tho the other day a showing of bonnets it if there Is anything in tho the world that could make me untrue to my politics and my falth faith it would be bes a wonderfully attractive bonnet and I 1 gazed around with awe aud and was snubbed with great coolness in the future I 1 shall got get my hat of a in man an A man wants to make a sale and does docs everything in his power t to 0 succeed while whilo women a little upset unless they know who you are always seem to conclude that you como to steal their designs sand and that the sooner you betout get out and the less you see the bettor better they will be satisfied urged by my friends who are always so kind and aided aide d and abetted by the curiosity of my maternal parent I 1 went to the bonnet display of the lady milliner rn in tile the first place her bonnets wore not ladylike lady like andin and in the second place th tho 0 women who showed them arrayed in different colored silk aprons know about as much of 0 what Is becoming to a woman as they did about the sort of 0 a bonnet that a foi ox gerrior ought to wear KNOWLEDGE BEHIND TUB THE I 1 was beautifully squelched by a disinterested female who evidently thought her duty duly lh in life was to down the iho american woman by being told that most of their hats bats were english and that as I 1 probably had not boon been there them I 1 realize the style now I 1 put it to you as a man and an editor it if this was not a galling thing to say to a woman arrayed in red terns ferns latest and wearing P a tiny little bonnet the sort that men like at the theater of 0 tuscan straw with a few pink roses joics on it that came straight from the lianda hands ol of the smartest milliner in london slid and was newer in stylo style than any they flioy had there after that I 1 leaned against a mantel shelf and looked crushed while my parent who Is older and more ex e ced than 1 I and who felt that ver her black bonnet with its jet butterfly on it carried tile ilia of paris came forward and fald eald tint ehst she ha had not seen any pretty bonnets vet lice upon which the cruel creel voting dam dastol said I 1 that hat perhaps she did not quite appreciate them my parent was uncrushed but nio mo out ol 01 murmuring audibly why old id you on ever urge me to como come to hurh a place bitans AS A from there wo we went TO look at t ta gowns ata at a beautiful new k hop thop conducted by nun men aud and here when a young nornan got out the things u man w was as standing by to see if she abo was civil and obliging we told him firmly that wo we did vot wish tobay to buy but wo we wanted to look at al somo with a view of a 4 happy I 1 utu ro when lhnn our purses bo be overflowing with ducats dubats that man mail saw that everything pretty in III tile establishment was shown to us and I 1 I 1 became so enraptured with a agnen bro brocade cale ta gown that I 1 havia hava started ii a box in III which everything lc lett in too the purse 0 t night under ten cents 5 and I 1 hodo haca in a very short time to hive have tho the eighty live five dollars I bans lAfis nox not tho the I 1 of 0 saving boxes boles in a hou honhold hold means more or ler less the bo sal ali ot of a nation at present I 1 nm running three ono for the ten tea gown in which tho the money thereof Is my very own another to bo be able to solid a good christmas box to some little girls who have nobody to think of them and tills this Is rapidly growing full for Us its profits come from tho the sin of inan mankind kInd I 1 c whenever anybody says a largo D I 1 with it a dah lifter after it lie is forced to put in this anything from ten to fifty cents cent according to tile tho warmth of expression 1 or tho the antens intensity ity that ho he may throw 1 nto into ills his language this lw lus like an encouragement of 0 blasphemy though it li isi not meant that way I 1 im anxious to get tho the box full and I 1 do wish mon men could appreciate what a luxury swearing 1 is WOE mop A wy my third saving bok Is a chock check upon myself who whenever never I 1 feel that life lant worth living and that tho the average editors blue penell pencil Is too sharp and that I 1 urn tim the most woman in tho the world I 1 have to pop a quarter in III it and in time it will get dolls tor for sick children now experience lia has taught t nit mo that when you have to 10 pay for being pl miso miserable rable your inclination to keep joyous and bright increases hour by hour oi or else you yon get so 90 you yon simply imply say to yourself ill bo be jig jiggered Jigger gored cd if I 1 dont have half an hour of woo won then you drop in tho the quarter you tako take your halt half hour our and when tile clock announces chath that li 1 is over it if you want anymore you have got to pay for it isy this moans a day of woo becomes almost an impossibility to tile tho average woman this is my own invention and at ono one time I 1 thought of taking out a patent for it but I 1 concluded that instead I 1 would put it tin in baek and white and lot a number of households bo be glad because 0 of it MET MEN HO DO NOT buffer what kind of stockings do you wear I 1 dont mean in color tor for of 0 course they are black but I 1 mean in length tho the proper caper in stockings Is to have them just as long as you possibly can in fact excepting they not being joined together they are exactly like tights this is something that sounds very beautiful ul and tho the average young woman when she gets them wants to insist upon having her sister woman go and do likewise you see she doos does not know yet what small little imp was woven in with tile the silk when they are put on she gleefully announces she sho will told hold them up by suspenders and the first time she goas out to walk in them sho she feels so nervous that the stockings grow nervous likewise tho the suspender comes undone they slide down that insidious silk and she gasps to tho the woman with whom she Is walking they havo have reached my knee and will be on tho the ground tile tho next thing that I 1 know the flitting into a doorway is then attempted and tho the stocking is tied up or pinned up until somo some shop can bo be reached where the suspenders can bo be straightened again an and d tho the wearer of tho the beautiful long stocking wall walk forth feeling like a different woman that Is to say she ought to feel fe 61 this way but she does not she has gotten nervous and sho she manages her legs as if they were not her own tor for fear that a slight misstep would cause tho the hook to break and tho the beastly thing to come down again experience has taught that nothing Is reliable but safety pins safety pins fastening tho the stockings to a bolt belt everybody lias has to learn this by experience and it if you should chance to soo see a girl looking as nervous its as p possible op sible and clutching in a way the upper part of her skirt as it if sho she wanted to keep it from hilling falling down yon can make up your mind that she has on her first long stockings and that she Is very uncertain as to how they are going to stay by her LITTLE FOIBLES OF BOTH certainly women endure a groat great deal to bo be beautiful some women some women laco themselves until their waists are so small that you conclude their brains are situated there some men have their shoulders padded hoping to look liko like athletes whereas they simply look lice ilka bass base imitations of men of weights weight some women put rougo rouge on in such thick layers that the impression is given that their intention was to paint the town red and they began on their own faces somo some men spend one hour parting their hair to conceal a bald spot nature intends to be seen and nature is always a long way ahead of art somo some women will wear an untidy boot and believe that her skirt skirl will hide jt it t they 11 never made a greater mistake in their lives some men waste all their intelligence arranging a scarf and then wonder that the world does docs not appreciate it somo some women think that dowdiness and artistic affect and then are surprised that men man call I 1 them guys some men will love a woman even it if sho she wears her hair in curl papers sleeps with cold cream all over her face forgets that three buttons tire are gone off her boot that hr her gloves are ara disreputable and that her frock needs mending but these men are tow and tar far between and are arc usually what the darkles darales call lacking some women would rather have a now bonnet than an edition of tho the IT phedia britannica britannic and among that number is BAB |
