decorated with a monogram. brought to the front with a high and mighty air of governing all things. Then comes the marseilles waistcoat, and over this a flannel jacket, with its front sloping away. while just in front will be laid one handkerchief. and the rest concealed up the arm of the jacket. He was asked by the happy couple whom he laundered, why he just plumped the gentleman's clothes down on one chair, and did this artistic study in still life, with my lady's belongings on every other chair in the room, By-the-by, the bed on which the nightgowns reposed. had their arms about each other in a most loving manner. His explanation was this: "O, I no likee the he-man, but I much likea the lady-man." After this announcement he was promptly discharged, and ever since. when the 'he-man" passes his shop, a lot of little papers. supposed to be devils, are sent out. after him. But to return to the shirt. Its staying power in the way of starch is difficult to get; they'll starch a shirt for a man till it looks like a mirror, but just as soon as they recognize that it is a woman's. they seem to make it more water than starch, which is not desirable in a feminine shirt front any more than it is in a man's,

WHERE WOMAN'S HEAD OFTEN RESTS. I've always had a sort of an idea that the man who sang "Come, rest in this bosom" probably wore a silk shirt, because who could rest with any comfort on a stiffly starched one? Serge or cheviot skirt, the little cutaway jacket, and the jaunty shirt or waistcoat, are certainly smart, and although I am decidedly opposed to woman with a capital W seizing any of the rights that belong to a man, still, if any of his clothes are becoming, she might just as well wear them, Nine times out of ten they are not beautiful enough to consider, and the tenth time they become beautiful because of the woman they are on.

WHY BAB DOESN'T WEAR SHIRTS. The prestige of having the best laundered and best fitting shirt fronts in New York belongs to Miss Johnson Bennett, and the general impression is that hers was made by a seraph and laundered by an angel. I may mention quite casually that personally I do not wear a shirt front—I decompose too rapidly—of course, I mean in a Delsartean sense, which hints at an inclination to take an easy position, that no shirt front, done by anybody's starch, could possibly stand. Shirts are, I think, a protest against decomposition; then, really, I don't know much about the shirts, and I know I never could get into a she-shirt after seeing it. My paternal parent is patient: my dog is one of the sort that incites you to ambition, and my canary bird can beat Patti all hollow, and will cheer me on to victory: but if that shirt ever got buttoned properly, it would have to be taken off of me with a pair of scissors, for I should never consent to have to go through what the undoing must be, when the doing is such a martyrdom.

WOULD WOMAN STAIN HER SOUL? The usual question in regard to the emotions has been started again. Some girl, who believes she knows more than she ought, though, I've tried to tell her that we are an over-educated people, had, for discussion the other day: "What would you do if a lie would save the man you loved when he was in dire trouble?" I don't exactly know the meaning of the word "dire," but it always suggests ink to me; so that if the man I loved was fool enough to fall into an ink river and a lie would land him out, I should unhesitatingly tell that lie. Tell it without a quiver; tell it, and look at the villain who had pushed him in, as if I were the sublimated essence of truth, and I wouldn't tell a lie, even for a ink-soaked husband. My opinion of the state of affairs was not popular.

DIFFERENT WAYS WOMEN HAVE. One young woman wouldn't stain her soul even "for one whom she adored. Another, a young woman who wore eye- glasses, and was a pronounced agnostic, said that while of course no one would wi t to tell that which was untruthful, still some arrangement might be made by which, without telling an absolute untruth, the man toward whom one felt wrong might be saved. This was lovely, but it brought out from a woman who was sitting in the corner, a woman with a front shirt and a soft, felt hat, this leading remark: "What would you think of a man who would not tell a tarradiddle for you?" The hostess hurriedly announced that luncheon was ready, and we heard nothing more of the question of the day. These little seances are very interesting—they make you wonder what women were made for, and after you go away you feel a bit ashamed that you asked this question even of yourself.

DUTIES OF MEN AND WOMEN. Women were made to teach men what courage, love and duty means. Men were made to teach women what affection, faithfulness and honor means. Women were made to teach men exactly how adorable they can be, and exactly how the other thing they can be. Men were made to teach women how delightful are little courtesies, and how the unexpected kiss, or caress is appreciated. Women were made to teach man the proper ruler of the house is the baby—and men, when it's their own, bow down to this proud sovereign. Men were made to teach women, once in a while, to say a good word about another woman, and that's just what a man is just now whispering to a woman you know as BAB.
