For the Enquirer-Sun.
The girl of the day has an ambition, of
course, to get in a book, along with girls
from all ages, countries and conditions; but
did any one ever observe how uniformly
the book heroines sink and slump down on
sofas, the lawn or the library floor, in well
regulated swoons, all in “little crushed
heaps,” not even a cloud of dust rising
from the spot ns the book girl slid down,
her noiseless draperies falling discreetly
with her, making no fuss about it. Some
times, indeed almost on every page, I lie
book girl rushed toward somebody—her
father, guardian, Newfoundland dog,
her’ horse, her lover, Lord Adel-
bert; Alont-Agony, or the village
surgeon—rapidly and yet so noise
lessly, with just a faint rustle of silken
skirts which emitted an aroma of violets
as she passed through the vaulted marble
hall—an odor which not only penetrated
to the furthermost china closets inthe cas
tle, but overflowed into the back yard, the
woodpile ami the neighbors’ lettuce gar
den, until the hired girl of the Fit./. Ad
dingtons came out with a clothes-pin in
her mouth to see what was going on.
TO BE
A book girl without that expressive aroma
of Parma violets is to be a half-way, not
reliable heroine, whom no one would trust
for half an hour. Neither is it possible to
omit this faint rustle of silken skirts as
she goes on her cyclonic way. Not a great
big swish-swish, you know, like a new
all-wool satin lined witli brand new wig-
gan, but just a lady-like, costly frou-frou,
betokening high-priced petticoats and
plenty of them. But did any book girl in
your memory, of the right sort, ever rush
around the cusfcle or picnic grounds in
•starched ginghams or percales which stood
out in every direction, like a cotton um
brella set out to dry?
BOOK PEOPLE
Are always handsomely gotten up in the
latest style, and it is a poor maker of he
roines indeed who would permit them to
circulate among their lofty acquaintances
in starched rutiles when to them silks are
a mere drug. They simply roll in good
clothes, you know, and don’t have to let
last year’s tucks out of this year’s revived
ginghams. There are slumpsy mulls,gren
adines, flannels, satteens and woolens for
these sort of girls, but the substantial good
looking young women who wouldn’t give
a hairpin to be in a book—they will wear
the striped, checked and flounced fabrics
which rattle when they walk like rain on
a tin roof, or peas in a shovel. This kind
of independent young woman chews gum
in the horse-cars, goes to a tight or a tire if
she wants to, and makes all the noise she
pleases to make.
It must be remembered, however, that
nearly all the simpering, gushing, or else
too pedantic heroines, fly full dressed
from the brains of their makers, Minerva-
like, already gotten up, and that men are,
in the main, rather bad judges of costume.
Would one be very much astonished to
learn that Lady Ring-round-the-rosy went
to a high tea in a pea-green Silesia trim
med with watteau|bangs or marabout mac-
arime! What does the man—patentee of
heroines—know about her clothes? He
has enough to do to watch her Buddhisms
or philosophy. He makes his girls think
and talk like a theological seminary; makes
them rise superior to wire bustles and
false chignons, while the woman inventor
of girls in books is very apt to make them
too sloppy and suburban. Her girls are
shy little things, with always quick, up-
wardlglances and a sort of die-away-may-I-
Reginald air, which makes us lose conti-
dence in their ability to marry the hero
and open a boarding house to support him
with.
There is one subject about which all the
feminine world is troubled exceedingly.
Sorely troubled by day and harrassed at
night by phantasmagoria clothed in long,
inky stockings. Are they again to be the
slaves to black stockings? That is the
question. Whether to endure the whips
and arrows of outrageous fortune or take
up ankles against a sea of troubles and by
opposing—end them. Whether it is nobler
to wear black stockings witii Newport
shoes and patent leather tips, and
FIND YOUR FEET
Apparently mortified at night or gan
grened, or to walk about in old lashioned
white hose and iiigh boots with no cark-
iug care as to the appearance of your toes
at evening’s hoiy hour, when, as the guest
in some respectable family, you find your
feet all right, but slightly passe. There
will never come a time, probably, when
in the mother country black stockings
will be absent from the clothes line in no
ble back yards. Children there have for
many years worn black stockings nnd con
tinue to wear them, whether the little
ones in Anglo-America follow suit or not.
So far as beauty and fitness goes, that is a
mere matter of taste, but it does appear
the proper thing to clothe the feet and
ankies in black for outdoor exercise, al
though if men were consulted probably
black stockings would be unheard of in
society. A bride writing from Arkansas,
on the subject of stockings, says:
“As to black, my husband thinks they are
the invention of the evil one.” No doubt
this young husband voiced a whole multi
tude of his sex. Men are sticklers for fair,
clean .hosiery. Black stockings may be
worn indefinitely and white ones must be
changed. There you have it in a nutshell.
It would seem the “proper caper,” as
our foreign cousins say, to|
~~ . TO DRESS THE FEET
With either reference to the habiliments
of the person, to wear gray boots and
gray stockings with a gray stuff or silk
dress, brown with brown and black with
black. But then conies a stilt problem oil
the heels of all 1 bis. Must we tolerate
green with green pen-green at that'.
Clearly this rule works just so tar ami
stops short. And who ever heard ot
crushed raspberry or pounded goos ibcrrv
feet? About the'correct thing, no doubt,
is to dress the feet as conspicuousl y as
possible always; hence tin- black --I ■< '• 1 >"
with 1 iw ah tes. Better this than to •!.. : i
evils that \vs know not of. Keep up your
block stockings with low shoes.

A PECULIAR INCIDENT.
A 1'nit.li IVliirli ('unsH Tin, Sit>i>|i«T* to Il.ivi-Simi-
lin- Hr mi m *.
“Dreams are l'unuy things, aren’t they?”
exclaimed a traveler on tiic Minneapolis
i and 'It. Louis train to a St. Paul (done re
porter. “Now of that rapidity ol'thought.
that leading up to an accident is what 1
consider most remarkable. Not long ago
J was on a visit to a cousin and while there
another cousin, a doctor, came. 1 had the
only spare room, and of course the new
arrival was sent in to sleep with me. We
laid tile bed with its head up against the
door which had a transom—a good-sized
transom with two big panes of glass. Dur-
: ing the first night the transom fell down
| and we were awakened from a sound
sleep by our faces cracking through the
I glass.
i “Scared! Well, I should say so. But the
I funny part of the thing was the different
way in which our mental powers accounted
for tlie very same physical sensation-
breaking glass and more or less scratching
and cutting, but nothing serious to either.
1 was a traveling mau even in my sleep,
and when the crash came—which, of
course, was only a second before we were
wide awake—I dreamed I was on a sleep
ing ear and was enjoying a lower berth. I
thought the train hod jumped the track,
and in trying to look out and see what was
the trouble I was thrown against the win
dow-glass, and awoke.
“Now, the doctor dreamed, as he in
formed me, that he passed into a trance,
and while thus powerless to move he was
placed in a casket and prepared for the
narrow little home beneath the sod. He
had been reading of a similar case, and the
details were first in his mind. In his
dreamy troubles he thought that just as
the sorrowing relatives were about to re
move him and the casket from the old
parlor he broke out in a profuse perspira
tion and the result was that, the room be
ing warm, steam was generated in the
casket and the glass face covering was
broken, the pieces of glass naturally fall
ing over his face. Now, tiiere was one and
the same accident and two people .simi
larly affected by it expressed it so differ
ently in their dreams.”
