GIRL ART STUbENTS IN PARIS.
Gome Fact. About Their Experiences and
Kxponae Accounts,
“The nverugo girl art student In
Paris lives about as quiet a life as the
American college girl," snys Maude
Andrews In the Woman's Homo Com
panion, writing from her own experi
ence of “The American Girl Artist in
Paris,” "The tuition at tins schools
ranges In price from seven to fourteen
dollars n month, but the price of nn
artist's materials cannot be estimated,
for these are the Items that make
the study of art appallingly expensive.
If an artlBt needs certain paints, she
cannot stop to consider If others
wouldn't do as well, or If she couldn't
get on with less, ns Bhe considers the
purchase of remnants at a bnrgnln
counter. The paint must be had at any
. cost, and that Is why girl artists often
look ns hungry and seedy na tho Mar
chioness when first discovered by Dick
: Swlveller. It Is snfo to. Bay that no
girl ought to come to Paris to study,
iart unless'she has an assured-allow
ance of fifty dollars a month, and this
amount will just about enable her to
meet the expenses of dally living, tui
tion and materials. A great deni has
been said about the folly of Amerlcnn
girls coming to Pnrls on limited means,
but the Impracticability of such a ven
ture lies not so much In this drawback
ns In tho poso and lack of practical
sense in many of the art students them
selves. The one great pose In art Is
the scorn of pot-bollng. Most young
artists, for Instance, consider It to
bo a degradation of their art to turn
their talents toward Illustration,
.whereas It Is one of the most remuner
ative things an artist can do. It mny
be said very truly that no poor girl
should come to Paris to study art un
less she Is willing to turn her ability
In the direction of pot-bolllng now nnd
then. In order to supplement her allow
ance. There are so many needs for
money In Pnrls. It Is a veritable Circe
of cities that changes-Its lovers npt Into
swine, but Into the most enchanting
butterflies, If there Is only a little ex
tra money to bo had for dress. A girl
who Is very poor and cannot make a
little pin-money often gets rather hope
less nnd depressed, for there Is noth
ing so forlorn In Paris as shabby at
tire."
IFnslilons In Shoes.
There are to bo more decided
changes In women’s shoes this fall
than for two years past. Tho bulldog
toe Is on the decline nnd Is being re
placed by tho pointed too. Accom
panying this change will be n radical
dlfTorcnco In the entire sole, so that
tho Inward slnnt of the solo will bo
replaced by stralghtcr lines. Only
hero and there are shoemakers found
to be frank enough to admit that n
change Is coming, since naturally they
arc anxious to dispose of the old stock
of goodB. but "smnrt” bootmakers pre
dict that by spring the bulldog too
ami accompanying features will be
things of tho past. A now heel, called
the "Cuban heel,” lias, appeared. It
Is high, but lacks the graceful curves
‘of tho French I eel. It Is likely to bo
■worn,to a,considerable extent for some
yenrs to come. "Tan shoes have their
best usp with short skirts. Worn,with
long, dark skirts they Boon show the
effects of the coloring matter In tho
velveteen With which most skirts are
bound.
Medals For Women.
;Fojv women have received high
awnrds for exhibits In the' fine arts
at:the Paris Exposition. Out of more
.than one hundred nnd twenty gold
medals accorded to French and for
eign painters In oil and water color
only four have gone to women. Miss
Cecilia Beaux, of this country, Is one
of these. Miss Beaux has shown open
air studies nt tho Soclete Nntlonnlc dcs
Beaux Arts for the last three or four
years. The other women who received
golij medals arc Mme. Virginia De-
“"*“Iretop, Mile.- Bally nnd Mile.
C , Mme. Demonti-Brefon and
JfnHjr are hetjl of Fwiuce, and
Bre'glau of SWliz^Sfl:
Eoilver medal wiis awarded to Miss
Bnjjfibeth Ndttrse, of this country.
^ Alma Tadoinn, of England, and
(jrTo.womnn representative from each
of the countries of Denmark, Holland,
Spain, Russia nnd Switzerland, nnd
four of France, also received silver
me'dnlB. Only one other English wom
an obtained an award for painting,
tails was Miss Flora Reid, who re
ceived n bronze medal.
'Eight bronze medals were awarded
to women In tho department of sculp
ture. In the department of engraving
two silver nnd seven bronze medals
were all received by French women,
with the exception of one, which wns
given to nn Hungarian woman. In
lithography three French women, one
Japanese woman and one Finnish
woman received silver medals.
■ Fall Coiffure.
The arrangement of the hair nt tho
hack for evening wear requires that
It shall be always pushed as far for
ward as possible straight up from the
nape of tho neck to above the crown
of the head, but It Is then pulled
down again so that the soft wnves
will show. The ears are almost hid
den by this arrangement of hair.
There is a part sometimes at one side
of the head, or Just In the middle, nnd
then the hair Is pulled down on cither
Bide of the part so that'It looks full
and soft, and, of course, thick. This
fashion of soft, full hair Is; as a rule,
more becoming than a more severe
style, but the trouble Is that the hair
requires to be kept In most perfect or
der. It must be well brushed and
washed often, and always well
combed, otherwise It looks untidy, and
an untidy head Is more unfashionable
now than ever wns known before.
Glossy, well-brushed locks with a
slight .jvave through them make every
wopmn look Well, but n mnss of hair
all ruflled up and looking as though
rats had been In It Is a most untidy
way of arranging the hair. It Is un
becoming and not In the least smart.
—Harper’s Bazar.
For Lone Neeki,
It is no longer fashionable to have
any trimming at the back of the col
lar, but women who have long necks,
or whose necks are beginning to look
thin, find it is a great advantage to
tie a piece of tulle around the neck
with a bow n!t the back. This gives
a pretty finish to n stiff ribbon stock
collar, and Is almost invariably be
coming. Only white or black tulle
should be used. For evening the same
thing is often seen worn even with a
jeweled collar or a handsome neck-
face, and it seems to-soften any hard
lines In a most satisfactory fashion.
Bona and niches worn around tho neuk
are very soft, but not very’ Cull unless
Intended for quite cool weather. A
pretty ono Is made of Liberty satin or
chiffon trimmed with bands of wnlte
lneo nnd with a little pleated edge of
chiffon. This fastens at tho throat nnd
lias long ends edged with lace that
hang down over tho front of tho
gown.—Harper’s Bazar.
’Mattes a Living Marking Linen.
How many odd little trades Ingen
ious women find to earn their bread!
In fact, as lias been snld before. If
there Is a thing n woman can do bet
ter than her neighbors she needs only
to develop It Into a specialty to have,
a sure livelihood. A Chicago girl, who
Is soon to i,e married In the East,
whence her family came, writes that,
like all Boston brides of high degree,
she Is having her linen tnnrkcd by Mrs.
B. This quaint little old lady entirely
supports herself by writing unmes In
lndellblo Ink on the underwear, sheets,
tablecloths, etc., of Boston swelldom.
Bhe has become n fad. Her narrow
quarters look like a white goods ware--
house, and smell like n chemist's from
n preparation she’ puts on the linen
to give It n smooth, paper-like sur
face. Sho Is to be found any day
with her old fingers cramped about
the special pen she uses In marking
small, neat Initials or elaborate mono
grams which no one else can equal.—
Chicago Evening Post.
Faslilonnblo Jewelry.
More Jewelry than ever is being
worn. Perhaps the outlines of the
modern French bijouterie nre rathet
barbaric In tendency, but how deli
cately fine nnd ralsoimo Is the work
manship, which softens the freedom
of the original conception nnd per
fects each detail with minutest skill!
To renllzo this ono must hnvo close
ly exnmined tba jewelry exhibits nt
the Paris Exposition. The lead of the
great French Jeweler, Lnlique—that
most modest artist, who lias revolu
tionized all modes In jewelry for the
moment —hns been freely followed,
perhaps too freely, for there lias
sprung up a series of Imitators, whe
are far from achieving the result thni
their originator linfi realized. But the
result Is that gold and silver In many
shades and enamel of most entrancing
hues have taken the place to a great
extent of the precious stones, especial
ly In ornaments for dny wear.

about those sharp pains in
your head. Seek their cause
in your liver.

Unchanging Fashions In Ohlnn.
Chinese fashions seldom change, and
a woman of tho Celentlal Empire
dresses to-dny ns her grent-grandmoth-
cr dressed nt her age. If sho Is rich
she Is robed entirely In silk. Her first
garment Is a sort of apron or plain
piece of silk tied around tho waist and
overlapping behind. Then come the
under Jacket, over Jacket, trousers nnd
apron. If she wishes to appear par
ticularly Irresistible she covers her
face nnd neck with n paste made of
wet rice flour, which when dry gives
her a deathlike appearance. While
it Is still soft she removes the paste
from her eyes and lips with a wet
sponge, nnd, moistening her finger,
draws It three times around her throat,
leaving three red marks. She alwnys
carries about with her a stiff, flat fan
nnd a powder box with n title mir
ror In the lid, by which she can sea
to touch periodically her face with
the powder puff.
Oddi and Kndi of Fashions*
The newest tiling In bodices Includes
"spencers." They are made of lace,
particularly the old Irish point. Other
laces In demand are black Chantilly
and old Greek laces. Buttons are ta
have n revival. Triangle and lozenge*
shnped buttons made of malachite,
jade and Initiation'rubles are popular.
There arc also silk ones covered with
applique. But the fancy of the mo
ment Is for gold buttons, particularly
on waistcoats. Old hunt buttons are
much sought after and command blgb
prices. A novel amulet consists Of
two silver trinkets, one a bust of Cry-
nno dc Bergerac and the other an ea
gle bolding Napoleon’s hat. They are
united by a thin twisted metal pin.
1800 anil 1900 Fashions,
It was noticeable during the sum
mer season, says the London Globe,
that there was a distinct resemblance
between the fashions of tho past sum
mer nnd those depicted In the pictures
of Reynolds, Gainsborough, Lawrence
nnd Romney-. A large proportion of
the muslin gowns were finished sim
ply by a soft flehu around the shoul
ders, leaving the neck bare. A nar
row band of black velvet and a string
of pearls encircled the throat. Sleeves
were close-fitting or else bell-shaped
to the elbow, with transparent under
sleeves, such ns will be found in any
old chest of 1S00 .dresses,
These Electric Phenomena Are Rsre, Dot
Brilliant.
Tho storms that have raged ovor
England displayed some extraordi
nary freaks of lightning.
A fire ball fell Into Dlddop reser
voir, near Halifax, about 8 o’clock p.
m., and was seen by the caretnkor’s
daughter. The bnll of fire lllumln-
nntod tlic countryside. There wns a
loud, hissing sound. A gigantic foun-*
tain was thrown Into tile nlr nnd halt
the surface of the reservoir wns ruf
fled for fully fivo minutes. An np-
pnlllng thunderclap followed. Tho
smell of snlphtir wns so strong that
tho enrotaker and his family could
scarcely breathe.
The fire bnll which wrecked tho vll-
lngo of Stoke Doyle, near Aundle, Is
described- as having presented a vivid
spectacle. It Is not possible to as
certain Its true character, for there are
.various’sorts-of electrical phenomena
which come under the term "firo
ball.”
According to the best authorities, n
firo bnll Is n mysterious phenomenon
of 8phorloal form which falls from a
thunder cloud nnd frequently re
bounds after striking the earth. It
usually burns with n bright finsli
nnd a loud explosion nnd occasionally
discharges flashes of lightning. By
some scientists the fire bnll Is term
ed ’’globe lightning," but the keenest
enthusiast has never stopped suffi
ciently long to examine It closely on
arrival.
Sometimes nn ordinary bolt of light
ning Is described ns a fire ball. The
real fire hall Is a very rare phenome
non, so much so that nt one time It
wns supposed by scientific men to ex
ist only In the popular Imagination.
Tho French electrlclnn, Plante, when
experimenting with his rheostat—a
kind of condenser—several times ob
served balls of fire travel along the
wires of the machine and then burst
with n loud dotonatlon.
This phenomenon, which hns never
been satisfactorily explained, presents
all tho characteristics of the true fire
ball, which travels slowly cnouga
for Its movements to be plainly vIbI-
blo and then explodes.—London Mall.

There Is no such thing In Ohlnn os a

Thore Is tho outward form, but It Is
entirely devoid of substance. There

turbance, If It Is nt least a popular
uprising, Indicates the helplessness of
tlio central government to govern; or
If It'Is nt most actually supported by
