The Girl’s Room Her Particular Pride
and Hobby—A Peculiar Color That
London is Affecting—Superstitions
About Babies—Some Timely Anec
dotes.
There is nothing that a young girl con
siders to be so much her own individual
property as the one room in the house
that has been given over to her, in which
to do as she pleases, and which she has
permission to fix up, according to her
own taste and inclinations. This apart
ment, says the Philadelphia Times, is a
sort of holy cf holies, into which she re
tires to dream pleasant thought or to
have a good cry over something that has
gone wrong during the day.
It need not be an elaborate room,
though, of course, the' more luxurious its
furnishings the prettier it can be made,
but whether the fittings are from the
hands of noted upholsterers or the result
of home manufacture, there is a charm
about the room to its owner that no other
spot in the house could possibly have.
To begin with, there is an individuality
about it that appears to be a part of the
piil herself, for into this particular space
of her own she has collected souvenirs of
‘“eerv event of importance to her, and has
arranged around its walls and on stands
and tables photographs of those nearest
and dearest to her. and in every nook and
corner where her eyes may turn she is
greeted with something that tells to hera
history, though to outsiders it may appear
meaningless and trivial.
There are always certain bits of furni
ture in a girl's room that are necessities;
of these the little couch, desk and mirror
are the three most prominent. The couch
ls heaped with cushions, and in its
cosy depths she nestles of an after
noon, either to read or study, while
in sickness no place seems quite so com
forting to the aching head and tired body.
1 lie desk is generally tilled with an end
less supply of notes anil invitations,
which she hoards until their number be
comes so great that from necessity she is
obliged to have a regular overhauling and
destroy all but the most precious of the
envelopes and their contents, that clutter
up every pigeon-hole. She has her ow n
particular pen on this desk, and it is her
ueiight to add to the silver fixings that
convert the plainest hits of furniture into
aomething bright and attractive.

of other mementoes of pleasant happen

Plea color will be the fashionable color
this winter, says a London letter. Women
have flea colored gowns and mantles, men
flea-colored overcoats, and babies flea
colored cloaks. It was the unfortunate
Imuis XVI. who gave this name to the
shiny brown chestnut color which is
known in Prance as puce. One afternoon
Marie Antoinette appeared in a gown of
that tint, when the king remarked,“That
coleur puce suits you admirably,” and all
the ladies of the court, overhearing what
ho had said, exclaimed, with the usual
flattery of courtiers, “Puce, Oh! de
licious ! what a charming idea !” and as
soon as they were free they hurried oft
to their dressmakers to order a flea
colored gown like that of the queen.
Later on a color called double puce was in
vented and for a season was all the rage.
In Ireland a belt made of a woman's
hair is placed about a child to keep harm
away, savs Babyhood, and garlic, salt,
bread and steak are put into the cradle of
a new-born baby in Holland.
Roumanian mothers tie rod ribbons
around the ankles of their children to
preserve them from harm, while Estho
nian mothers attach bits of assafoetida to
the necks of their offspring.
Welsh mothers put a pair of tongs or a
knife in the cradle to insure the safety of
their children: the knife is also used for
tiie same purpose in some parts of Eng
land.
Among Vosges peasants children born
at anew moon are supposed to have their
tongues better hung than others, while
those born at the last quarter are sup
posed to have loss tongue, but better
reasoning powers. A daughter born
during the waxing moon is always pre
cocious. , _ ...
At the birth of a child in Lower Brit
tany the neighboring women take it in
charge, wash it, crack its joints, and rub
its head with oil to solder the cranium
bones. It is then wrapped in a tight
bundle and its lips are anointed with
brandy to make It a full Breton.

“I must inveigh,” says an oculist,
“against the candle as a night-reading
light. It is quite a custom, I find, for
sleepless folks to keep a candle at their
bedside and rely on it for light during
wakeful hours that are passed in reading.
As the flame flickers with the slightest
current of air, the light is uncertain and
waving and most trying to the eyes. A
small reading lamp takes a few seconds
longer to light, but it is much to be pre
ferred ”
And while on the subject of lamplight
ing, says the New York Times, do all
housekeepers know that when lamps are
not in use for a week or more the oil
should be poured out, or the stale oil will
cause an unpleasant smell when next it is
lighted?

A great deal more imitation jewelry is
worn than many people have any idea of,
says a London letter. The demand for
precious stones of this kind has increased
the supply, and great olTorts are being
made to meet the wants of the most ex
acting. Some of the imitation work is so
highly finished that it requires a con
noisseur to detect that It is not genuine.
Here und there real stones are inserted.
: Particularly is this the case with.tur
quoises—these last being too expensive to
make it worth while to reproduce them.
Small brooches in all sorts and shapes are
in great request. It is quite a mistake to
suppose that you cannot wear sham in
combination with real stones. Nothing is
! easier than to blend the two together so
that it is almost Impossible to tell the dif
ference without a close examination In
Paris au enormous trade is done In pins
and ornaments of every kind. For a
franc you can buy a small sapphire and
diamond pin, which, if placed among soft
la- es, look so real as to bathe anyone but

i Earrings are threatening to come In
again, which is a proof. If proof be
needed, that the advance of women is, to
say tlje least of it, a "recurrent curve."
If we are to have earrings back again it
augurs two things—that women are as
anxious as ever to decorate their persons,
even at the expense of some pain, and
that certainly enterprising jewelers have
won the ears of more senses than one of
several fair dames who are fashion lead
ers.
It is a notable fact, says an English pa
per, that not only can Queen Victoria
swim, but so also can all tier daughters.
The Princess of Wales, all her three
daughters and the Princess May* are also
swimmers. In fact, all the princesses
royal are good swimmers and love the
art in a greater or less degree. Perhaps
the greatest of all lady swimmers Is the
Empress of Austria, who at one time re
veled in all manner of clever natatory
tricks. Although swimming among wo
men is practically unknown in lazy
Spain, the present queen regent can do
all manner of feats in the water.
She had a tiny ivory shopping list, a
basket of plaited straw, such as a village
maiden ip a play would carry, an air of
importance and some little timidity, says
the Providence Journal. “I’d like* to see
some of your nicest primary roasts,” she
remarked ingratiatingly to the butcher.
That being rubbed his hands on his white
apron and asked her to repeat her ques
tion. “I wisli to look at primary roasts,”
she said a little more loudly, to conceal
the fact that her assurance was evaporat
ing into thin air. The butcher told her
regretfully that, he was all out of that
particular commodity and commended to
her attention legs of lamb and mutton
chops. “Bless her heart,” remarked the
butcher as she departed. “I know well
enough what she was after. But if I had
told her she meant prime rib roast She’d
never have got over it. Better let hor
learn from her mar. ”
In a recent paper in a contemporary on
“The Spinster Versus tho Married
Woman,” Mrs. Kate Upson Clark gives a
graphic picture of the handicap of the
latter in the race for fame in the world
of art or letters
"The happily married woman has little
time to herself. Though she may go to
her room and lock the door behind her,
she is followed by jiersistent ghosts of
duties, which mock at her efforts to ab
stract herself from the earth. The salad
for to-night’s dinner has not been ordered.
Did Nusibel remember to wear her rub
bers to school' Is Adolphus Henry going
to have the earache again to-night' And
why should he have the earache, anyway?
And she must not forget to lay out Bene
dict* dress suit, and brush it for him,
against his evening return.
“She resists these flitting worries. An
hour peases. Her colors are mixed, or
h>-r clay is moistened, or her poem lias
taken form in tier wind. H r hand* bi
gin to work out the fascinating thought of
her brain, when suddenly the pres id- lit
of the Dorcus Society require* • eousuita-
Hon with hor in the parlor. Then the
plumbing bursts in the kitchen; the eliil- I
dren come home to lunch. Clouds thicken 1
about herbewilderedmind. Well has she
been compared to the bird who is tied by
one leg to the earth by a tether which is
all too short. Happy she if she reach the
age of fifty fresh enough to practice for
pleasure the arts which she once fondly
hoped to pursue for fame.”
“It was decidedly a grim ornament,”
said the society young man to tho New
York Sun, “that I saw recently at tho
house of a well-known civil engineer
whose career had some time been in tho
lioeky Mountains. It was u necklaco
compost'd of the linger nails of a young
Sioux brave slain by a Ute warrior, who,
with the scalp of his victim, had taken
this trophy of his prowess. Strange to
say, this necklace was intrinsically very
handsome.
The characteristic shapeliness of tho
Indian’s arm and hand, ideally perfect
even to the finger tips, was illustrated in
this barbarous memento. The necklace
of ten pieces was in color a vital brown,
suggesting more than anything else a
string of acorns. So removed in appear
ance was it from any forbidding sugges
tions of the savage deed It recorded that
the genuinely gentle and refined woman
to whom it was shown handled it long
ingly, and begged of the owner that if he
ever gave it away it should be to her.”
Stories of summer fun arc being
brought to town by the returning wander
ers, says the New York Times. A young
woman tells of a girls’ supper that was
“one of the events of my summer. When
we entered the dining room, which was
rather dimly lighted by wax candles, wo
were all surprised to see three colored
men, in faultless waiter attire, standing
about the table like ebony statues. It
was a little country village, and we all
wondered where our hostess had socured
her swell servants, and why she had
thought It necessary to add such formal
ity to tho otherwise simple affair. As we
sat down, however, and the men began to
serve us, we soon recognized the cousin of
our hostess and two of his who.
for a joke, wore thus able to assist at
what started out to be a real girls’ gossip
and love feast.
“I must say they made admirable wait
ers, and thought we took our revenge by
the most merciless sarcasm and comment
on them in their proper persons, the stolid
servers never betrayed that they vvero
not deaf, dumb, and blind U> all that was
going on.”
The Times tells another story from
the White City, and the fun was for the
spectator* "While we w< re doing the
street in Cairo, says a woman just back
from Chicago, "several women forming a
party approached one of the camel or! vers
and signified a wish to ride. (inly one of
the three, however, persevered In the in
tention when the moment to mount came.
The camel kiss led forks load, ami the
woman seated herself, but no sooner did
the animal rise to hit feet than she. too,
rope u led the action and cal led out to be
let down 'I he camel driver, however,
understood no nvli conduct, and started
off. Then the woman, growing more and
more frightened, screamed and began to
prod the driver with her parasol to gain
his attention and secure her release.
“The driver thought she wanted to go
faster and urged his steed into the roll
ing gallop of which he was capable, to
the Increased and desperate alarm of the
rider jierched on her high, uncertain seat.
Down the street they new, the woman
wildly prodding and screaming, tho
driver yelling for way and the friends of
the unwilling rider racing after, shoutiug
to the driver to stop.
“But a camel ride in Cairo of the Mid
way means ttie length of the street and
return. So thero was no stopping for the
unhappy woman till tho gallop back was
over, and as the driver’s mottle was evi
dently aroused by tho din and parasol
Jabbing, she rode in even faster than she
rode out.
“There was a fluent exrhange of En
glish and Egyptian language when she
was finally permitted to dismount, but it
is doubtful if the conversation brought
mutual satisfaction.’’
If one wishes good luck to follow her
through life, it is contended that one
must always wear tho stone belonging to
the month in which she was born. While
this may not be true, still it gives an ex
cuse for a pretty custom and for a person
to have an individuality about jewels.

□ Passing through town, says a writer in
the Jlentlewoman, of London, I met a
young American in Broad street gazing
wistfully about, I knew she was an Ameri
can by the peculiarity pretty pallor of her
skin, her neat but perfectly plain black
gros grain skirt, and faultlessly-fitting and
equally plain cloth jacket. When an
American woman does not dress very
smart and up to date, this is tho admir
able livery she adopts. But lam wander
ing. 1 knew by instinct that the lady
was looking about for Red fern's and I
was right. “Can you tell me,” she began,
“where Mr. Red—?” “Only a few door3
lower down,” I chimed in; and the stran
ger fled.
As 1 went on my way I met with many
another fair yankoe, and my national
pride was hurt. “Why,” I asked myself,
"do these ladies always swarm in London
during September and October, just
when the murky autumn mists are shroud
iug Ficcandilly and making the whole
town look tho worse for wear? When all
the smart, distinguished, ana professional
world is away, and only country cousins
about? When our first actors and singers
are in the provinces, the fronts of our
houses in deshabille, and even the ladies’
clubs in mufti?” But. after all, the fair
Americans are wise in their generation.
They have collected together in London
from all parts of Europe, going Liver
pool wards, homeward tor the fall. And
they know that London is the best of
good places to shop in. The hats and
bonnets in Regent street shop windows
are Just half the price of those in the
Rue de la Paix. As for the coats, they
are altogether desirable, and in Septem
ber tho very newest modes are out.
Gloves, again, are just half as dear as in
New York Woolen material and laces
are almost given away (when one remem
bers Boston prices) in Oxford street. The
London dressmakers are infinitely more
tractable than the American. Photo
graphs of celebrities and leatherware of
all sorts are much appreciated by the fair
visitors. Our Jewelry they consider, if
less expensive, also less neatly adjusted,
durable and tasteful than their own. To
their uotico i beg in tnv temerity to rec
ommend the piles or old silver Itntek
knacks to be found in our silver shops,
the treasures at our furriers, and our
really beautiful glass and old and new
china. •
