A New Feminine Craze. ew York Correspondent Philadel- phia North Amecrican! Women with pretty hands and wrists have found a anew way of preserving their charms for the delight of coming generations. They go the photographer and have their hands photographed. Some New York photographers are beginning to make a specialty of reproducing hand- some hands. 1t is hard to say where the idea came from. Iu all probability it is a_modi cation of the custom that the English- woman has got into of having her feet and ankles veproduced in marble. The American woman has not reached the mable fashion yet, and it is hoped that she never will, It is quite natural thatayoung woman with handsome hands should wish to preserve a semblance of their charm by means of the phothgrapher’s art, for hands and wrists, like cheeks and lips, lose their beauty as the years go by. In time wrists become too plump, and wrinkles gather about joints anlk nuckles. The skin becomes dry and rown, and the palm loses its delicate tinge of new-blown rose. There are few things more handsome than a young and perfect hand. Hands are photographed on glass negatives in the same manner as ordi- nary pictures are made. The hand, wrist and forearm are placed against a dark backgrouud in a strong light in front of the camera. The ordinary ex- posue of a plate is then made. Black velvet makes an excellent background, All the beautiful curves and dimples of the hand are cleary shown. The wrinkles, however, are left out. “It is & very pretty custom,” said a photograper who has some pictures of pretty hands displayed in nis show- case. “Why shouldu’t & young lady have a picture of her hands as well as hor face? A picture of that kind is a nice thing for & young lady to send to her female friends and her near rela- tives. Sometimes these pictures are sont elsewhere. A young lady came in here a short time ago in & great hurry for a picture of her hand. She wanted it for a particular day for a particular purpose. We dropped a lot of other work and pushed that picture through with a rush. 1 learned afterwards that she seut that picture of her hand in reply to a proposal of marriage. What is still better, her bemrt went with it.” The Rage for Talismans. Chieago Mail: It is the fashion now to have a fetich—something to love, to chide, to bear, to swear by, to dream on, to talk to, to reason with and to worship as nothing mortal or material is wor- shipped. It may be u button without o shank, picked up from the marble slab in a Turkish bath; a bangle found in a street car with an _indecipherable mon- ogram on one side and a dute on the other, in which case there will be fatal- ity in the letters and luck in the num- bers, combine them as onc may. Such things as daggers, old coins, madstones, oyster pearls, ocean pobbles, nuggets, petrified stones, opals, amethysts and cornelians are dearly prized, and in jewels old designs, such as wings, claws, spurs, foils, cubes, and the like, ob- fained or purchased under strange cir- cumstances, Mrs. Langtry wears on one of her long, tapering fingers a quoise as big und beautiful as the gem Shylock mourned for. The gift wis bestowed by royalty. Mme. Cavalazzi has a small ivory erucifix, the gift of her dying mother, who bade her cheaish it with reverence and burn a taper before it whenever the way seemed dark and dreary, In her stateroom on the ocean mad winds and wild waves have no terror for her while burns the sacred taper ut the foot of the fvory cross, and jn the theatre no parthly power could induce her to go Out In our business, we are offering our entire stock of READY-MADE CLOTHING, FOR MEN, BOYS AND CHILDREN, Gents' Furnishing Goods, Hats Caps, etc., at prices REGARDLESS OF COST.

Now York Telegram: “Fitting on boots or shoes is an art in itself,” said the superintendent of an extensive shoe storo to a Telegram reporter to-day, ‘‘and there s not a salesman in a hun- dred who can sell boots or shoes to some ladies,” “What is the difficulty?” said the re- porter. “The principal difficulty is the idea which seems never to lose ground among ladies that a very small foot is one of the beauties of the female form divine, Now, every lady’s foot is proportioned to her size and figure; & tall, slim lady will have a long, slender foot, and a short, plnmq’ lady will have a short, plump foot; but nearly every lady in- sists that her foot is very small and that she can wear a shoe that is at least two s too small for her, you hint even in the gentlest way that the boot she is trying on is too small she will at once bridle up and flop out of the shore and you will never see her again, It is as bad as if you asked her age. I have lost several good customers in this way by indiscreet salesmen telling them that it took larger sizes to fit them than the boots or shoes they weretrying on.” “How do you manage to get a lady who thinks she has and really has not a small foot to take thesize that fitsher?” said the reporter. “Oh, that is easily managed,” was the reply; “when we find a customer whom we know will not bhe easily fitted we quietly mark the boots or shoes down a size or so smaller than they really are and the lady, when she gets fitted, goes away hapyp There are some ladies, however, who really buy what fits them, knowing that the foot should be propor- tioned to the body, but most of them have the small foot ze. How Mrs. George Gould Dresses., Pittsburg Post: But if Gould is care- less in his dress his son George’s wife, the ex-actress, is the reverse. Her toilets are marvels of tasteful expendi ture. She is above the average in vret- tiness, she has a distinguished style of her own, and she is ambitious to be ad mirable. Her airis essentially that of an actress whenever she appears in pub- lie, although it is mnpereb by refine- ment and controlled by exquisite judg- ment., Even before she married into great wealth and was on a moderate salary in Duly’s Theater company, she managed to be a charming dresser, One of her achievements, over which she smiles retrospectively, was a dress that could be used in both mimic and actual ife, She enacted in the current play a lady at a ball, and there wore & gown with no sleeves and little bodice. ~ But the material was dark, and the shape,so far as it went, was undemonstrative. Mrs. Gould (nee Kingdon) had s! and asection of cortage made to attach to the dress, and these turned it into a suitable thing for afternoon calling or Sun church, Thus she gained sub- stantially two robes in one, She doesn’t liave to seheme in that way now.

One of the many changes that will be no- ticeable in the costumes of the ladies this winter will be in the corsage bouquet. In the place of the sweot-scented and demhre- looking rose it will be composed of an old and almost forgotten favorite, the pale, scentless camelia.

Very pretty mixtures of color are possible with the dainty pinked or fringed ruches, A skirt trimmed with one of these ruchings looks like a double carnation, head down- wards. Light, inexpensive silk may be cut up for this purpose and no_better way can be found of freshening up evening silk dresses than this. A trim-fitting sealskin jacket is the pret- tiest and most stylish wear for a young lady who possesses a slender figure, Upon somo of these more expensive jackets is a straight band of sable fur, silk lined, that is made to wear close around the throat.

Plushis appearing in everything, many tea-gowns are made of it entirely, and & handsome ng dress has a plain skirt of seal-brown plush, The waist is of the plush with a princesse back, makinga few loops for tournure. The front has a loose vest of wood-colored faille Francaise, and there is a long apron front of silk drawn high to one side. A little plush bonnet with wood-col- ored plumes completes the costume. There are at present two popular modes for arranging the hair, one being the smooth, compact little braided knot and the neat Rus- sian bang, and the other consisting of two large, soft loops, folded half way over cach other on top of the head. When the hair is worn high a few very short little curls are pinned into the smooth sweep of the hair be- hind, taking the place of the fluted waves that Mrs. Langtry made popular last year, For theatre wear there are many small Dbonuets without strings, some of the newest being made entirely of flowers, such as v lets or dark pansies, or of wax currents.

New York Sun: The weddings in London are certainly totally different from like festivities in America, and a marringe in high life isalong cere- mony. If there be any pretension to “swellness” there is a certain amount of music and two hymns are invariably sung. These are printed on gilt-edged white satin and placed in the pews, and not only the guests but the bridal party are all expected to take part in singing them. Some time before the ceremony is to take place the families and honore guests form in a line on eitherside of the aisle through which the bride is to pass, and the bridesmaids stand in the ailse in couples behind the bride until the marriage is finished, when immediately all the wedding party, including the gudsts of highest rnn'{(. repair to the vustr{ and witness the signing of the parish register by the newly wedded pair,and themselves sign also. After a very smart wedding the other day I went into tho vestry room and, through the courtesy of the curate I saw the recently signed register with “Albert Edward,” **Victor” and a host of other swells,as witnesses. The curate who had evidently a very keen sense of the ridiculous, called my attention to the age of the various brides as regis- tered for years past. The oldest proved to be twenty-seven and the majority nineteen. 4T assure you,” said the good looking curate, ‘‘plenty of them are much over forty, but where is the woman, even on a solemn occasion. who will tell the truth about her own age.” It is a pretty and usual custom to have apage and maid of honor, generally children, strew flowers before the bride upon her entrance and distribute marri- age favors among the guests, such as orange blossoms tied up with white satin ribbons, An immense number of weddings take place each year before 3 o'clock in the day at St. George’s, since this is the last hour flxed by the law as proper and legal and this is the Parish church of Belgravia and, in fact, of the dwellers of the court end of aristoeratic London.

Philip Davis brought his e teen-year-old L]uughler, Bavbara Dav! from Mount Zion, on this afternoon’s train to marry James Fair, a young man aged 24, employed by A. S. Waltz of Decatur. The license was procured in due form, and the couple stgod up in the office to respond to the usual interro- gations. Fair did so quite readily, but when it came Barbara’s turn she calmly replied that she s and would not marr e surprise was too much for Curtis, who tossed the certificate over to the rejected groom and said that ended the business for him, The father of the young lady stepped forward and had a low talk with his daughter, but she was immovable, and, giving no reasons, left the room and started for home in & wagon with a neighbor. It waslearned that Barbara’s parents have been trying to force the marriage for some months. She told u woman that her father had whipped her a week ugo for saying she would not marry Fair. The groom walked off up the street, badly disappointed. The father was enraged, but he could do nothing. A Fickle Sweetheart. San Diego dispatch to the San Fran- cisco Chronicle: Stephen Niclas, an Italian, is proprietor of a restaurant on the corner of Fifth and K streets and just at present is mourning the loss of about seven hundred of his good Am can dollars and the young ludy whom he was to marry.

Correspondencs Governor Fitzhugh Lee appearcd this month in the role of giving away a bride on the oceasion of the marriage which_took place at the state fair grounds on the 26th, The couple came from Prinee Edward, and expect to get a good start in life from the presents they received on the occasion of their marringe on a platform in the presence of thousands. The young lady is rather tall and very fine looking, Her father wias a brave confederate soldier, and died from a wound which he received while in one of the hottest fights in which General Pitzhugh Lee’s brigade participated. The young lady asked Major Venable to withhold her name and the name of her intended husband from the public until the day of the marriage took place. It was the wish of the bride-clect that she be given dway by Governor Lee,whom her father worshipped as a soldier and honored as a citizen, The governor hesitated. The plea was great, in that the girl asked this in her father’s name, and her father would ave died for Fitzhugh Lee. ‘“All right,” said the governor,and not being able to get around such an appeal, he consented. e Y e June aud October. New York Journal: ‘June and Oc- tober.” This is the rather pleasing way in which Miss Cornelin Van Auken and Judge Tremaheere are designated by many peodle who have received in- ations to the wedding. The invita- tions were sent out by mail, 8,000 white missives, engraved in Tiffany’s best fashion, and stating that Mrs. B. H. Van Aukdn would be charmed to see guests on the 18th at her home on Fifth avenue, About half of those white cards went to friends in England, on the Continent, and in India, where by the way, the judge will take his bride tolive, but it is expected thut the other 1,500 will be present at the ceremony and the reception to follow. Miss Van Auken, who is about twen- ty-four, is noted for her intellectual at- tainments, and this may account for her selection of a learned judge for her fu- ture partner, rather than any one of the youth about town. who in past seasons paid her marked attentions.
