THEEYES DOTIH MOCK, LOBELIA Distarbing Fxperience of a Convalesoont on a Shopping Tour, COMFORT FOR BACHELORS TOO MUCH Whe Correct Thing in Betrothal Souvenirs— A Gob of Gossip Sandwiched with Usefal Hints—The Latest Frills of Fashion, The history of events as narrated by various writers ofttimes demonstrates the fact that different peoplo looking upon the samo scones and listening to tho same words, differ widely 1n reldt. ing the true circumstances. In othe words, it scemns natural for members the human family to look upon people, places and things through spectacies of some peculiar color, whose huo .I.-pam]_.a largely upon the state of the wearer’s mind, 2o 1 have been wondering if any of my fair sigtors have ever encount an eimilar to tho one which oceurred to the writer. After ashort but severe illness, of which it would be quite natural some little traces might still remain, I amout for an afternoon of shopping, and zoing from one store to another | have the pleasure of meet- ing a number of friends On boarding the car for down town [ meet the firsy lady friend, who immediately exclaims: experience “Oh! my dear, how awfully you do look. I woula advise you to take a change of climate at_once. Your com- ion has that yellowish tinge which ndicates malar At thesn sympathetic words my hoart flutters faintly in protest, for I confess that I have no ambition to play tne role of tho interesting invalid. [t's quite out of styie, you know, and its no par ticular pleasure to be told that one has the appoenrance of a walking tombstone, and now just before starting out on this shopping tour I have carefully noted the rellection in my mirror and con- cluded, with considerable pleasure, that the eaid reflection was pretty health looking. Dutmy friend says I look sick ~—80, aff 11, I tell myself I must have been mistaken about™ that reflection. One can’t be a judge of one’s own ap- nee. Theso unpleasant cogitations rupted by the sight of a friend s just returned from the east and does not know I have veen ill. He shakes hands ina cordial manner and says: “Why; how charming you are looking today! “But,” I reply in a hesi have been sick.” “Well, if you have, no one would sus- pect ity vou are the very picture of health. Your eyes shine like st and that white veil is exceedingly becom- ing.” At these flattering words T begin to cheer up and to conclude that 1 do not look as if I were in the last stage of the gandees in spite of the convincing words of my kind lady friend, and somehow that oaughty tittle cap of mine slips back a little further off my curls, and conscious «of a jaunty air, my steps quicken to kecn” pace with' a happier mind. Byec and bye I feel a gentle tap on the arm, and turning around am happy to discover a sweet young girl, and from her roscbud lips “sho groets me thusl “Why. you poor dear, I can see t you aro still on the sick list. Actually your dear faco has a ghastly look. T think you did wrong to venture out to- day.” I can offer no denial of this serious chargo; in fuet I am rapidly becoming bowildered ns to how I do look, anywa; But passing on I enter a store and am soon at the counter of a favorite clork (gentleman.) **How do you do today?” is tho pleas- antsalutation. *‘I never saw you look- ing better: in fact you never look bad, even when sick. But it seems to me that the roses in yourcheeks are fresher than usual.’ 1 am too hewildered to reply and bo- gin to suspect that these rapid and won- derful changes are dus to some unseon and mischevous fairy sprite who is pl ing a anughty tric th her mag fairy wand, which, mayhap, she waves before my defenseless countenance and transforws it at will from round and rosy to pule and sickly. Did you ever look into comical mirrors, so arran you turn it lengthwise thin and angul, ing way, “T one of those d that when ou look very > and the features d and melancholy? But turn tho wmirror sideways and’ your reflection is immo- diately transformed into a v, shor rolly-polly and jolly looking individual, +Do my friends look at me through one of those mugic mirrors?' T ask mysolf. Surely the change cannot be all in poor little me. But, ah! there comes n handsome woman, a dear fricnd, and | am ready for the loving kiss (in fact I am about ready for anything in the wuy of surprises) and the "anxious and so 80+ licitous tone of the gentlo voica which Bays: **No need to tell me, doar, that you ave not well; looks are enough. Those poor eyes are absolutely I sup- poso you have had to take horrid stuff belladonna, have you no “Yes," T faintly murmur, *“about two months ngo.” “Well,” continue: “they say it make my foir friend, the “eyes brilliant, but if the offect in your eyes is brilliant Tean’t say that Tadmirve it.” But somehow I recall to mind the re- mark of the gentleman friend who told me that my eyes aore “like staps,” ‘What a contrast of opinions. After the usnal adieus to this fair consoler, 1 do- termined to cull upon a gentleman friend, in whose integrity of opinion I have hitherto had reason to believe, and obtain, if possible, some solution of these mysterious changes, and say ut onc **Do I look sick?” *Look sick! Waell, I should say mnot, Look as if you had never seen a sick day. “Woll, my friend, T ean’t beiiove you, All my lady friends say 1 do, while all the gentlemen say T don’t. Now is it not a fact that all you gentlemen like 1o flatter a lady and try to make her happy by the administration of a little ‘taffy? » He lnughingly denies the charge and says, 'l canoxplain that to you in a minu One woman never wants an- other w think thatsheislooking protty. They are all jenlous of one auother, you Bee. . “Shame!” I indignantly exclaimed, **Don’t you dare accuse us of such sel- fishness. I cannot allow you to bring such a charge to our door, "I admire a pretty woman as much as'I doa hand- 8O mun. #OR! weli, maybe you do,” he replies. **But thut ratio is about 1 to 1,000, for as a rule llu')' can’t be said toadmire one another,” “*That is what one gentlemgn think but I had vather believe that during that alternoon of shopping I ehanged in looks as u chameleon muy chunge his hue, thun to admit that charge of sel- }ahnefis against my faiv sisters.” By the way, did you ever look upon our reflection in the depths of an old- hioned brass door knob? Just try it The effect is awfully funny. It always recalls to my memory the story of a king whose only child was a ves utiful princess, and who, for fear that she should become vain or make a foolish marringe, banished from the castle all the looking glasses and all the men ox- copt_an ugly old conchman and the king's fool in his pointed little green cap, hung with tinkling brass bells—for, thought he, a princess will nover admire n chman or a fool. But, alas for excoss of caution, the pretly princoss found n brass door knob, and polishin it to a high state of rellecting brilliane gazed with delight upon her broad and smiling faco, and to end all fell in love and eloped with the—coachman? No, she was not so modern and preferred the cunning little fooi. And then you know how the romantic Indian maiden braids her long, black tresses by the aid of the deep pool in the wild wood, How wretched she must be in the win- ter when her looking glass is frozen over. In conclusion I will say that the re- flection which is roturnea By your own faithful mirror is the best one to rely upon. So do not allow your peace of mind to bo disturbed by the opini different poople who look at you through spectacles of varied shapes and colors. GirAce H. " *‘What we have got to do, girls,” ay a protty young woman in the New York Times, is to muake war on theso delighte ful batchelor apartment houses. A man called on me last night who went to live in one last spring. ~ He is full of en- thusiaem yet, and T don’t wonder. T one helivesin is a big houso on Fifth avenue that was the formor residenco of Mrs, —. When her hushand died she disliked to live thore alone, and had it made over into batchelor suites.

Mr. L. h ho says, 0 pretty parlor, with open fire, rugs and all that sort of vhing, and a bedroom and large bath and dressing room, and he hasn’t a care in the world. He never knows anything about his laundry, for instance. ~ His drawers aud presss aro always filled with fresh tinen, of whose gathering and washing he hus been quite ignorant. A stitcch is never needod, for it is always taken before he discovers the no- cessity. His clothes are looked aftor by the butler, who senas them away to be pressed or sponged wheneyer it scems to him propor. hats are alway brushed, and even his umbrollas are kept trim and taut ready to bo grabbed up hastily. If ho is poing away, he wires up from the office, and his bae or trunk is packed and sent off to the sta- tion; when ho comes back, his luggage goes tothe house and ho goes down town: when he reaches his room again, the trunk has vanished and his belong ings ave all 1n place. “"Everything he sends to tho house is paid for on arrival, and once a month an itemized bill is presented to him and that is the end of it. He gets up when hie pleases, touching his bell when he does so, and when ho'is ready a tempt- ing little broakfast pread in his par- lor. He dines when he chooses, ‘I am looking forward to the winter nights,’ he romarked last evening. ‘when. with the couch drawn up to the fire, my book and my pipe, I shall forget tho cold and storm without in the cheer and comfort within.” What do think of that senti- ment from a man who is a good dancer? Isn’tit all too ideal and dreadful?” And the other girls looked very solemn and suid that it was, * e Quite the correct thing just now is the betrothal souvenir, writes Dorothy Mad- dox. It is sent to the fair fiancee by girl friends, relatives and relatives-to-be ns soon as the engagement cards are re- cetved. Where the family connections are far reaching the lucky damsel stands an excellent chance of securing a very valuable collection. While unique fans, siiver comfit boxes-| bearing the entwined monogramof bride and groom, antique shos and belt buckles, lucky coins threaded with delicate strands of gold, horseshoe mir- rors and artistie givdles are all in order, yet the articles most prized are speci- mens of old family plate and china.

B oy Iivery young man, us well as old, is interested in the match box, if not from a smoker’s point of view, at least from a feeling that it is something always ser~ viceable, The best adapted and most tushionable designs at thisa time are those illustrating hunting scenes. The fishing rod and kinship have been put by, the gun, the setter and the wild goose supplanting them.
