iWMNKIND ****> 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.

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.
