WOMAN’S WORLD. A woman who has just returned from London, says the New York Sun, has not yet recovered from her astonishment t the extent to which the English wo- Bfn are using paint. • I had heard so much of the beautiful English complexions,” she said, "chat I was not prepared for the shock, and it was not easy to understand why the women used paint, for they seemed in reality <° bave very nee<l of il - The women I saw in the streets, the ti)ops and the art galleries seemed to be entirely without it. They all had the high color 1 thought a peculiarity of the ra ce and had no apparent need ot paint- They had too much color for beauty according to my ideas, unless one accepted them as the out and out dairy maid type, and there was scarcely one of them w ho did not look as if she would be improved by the judicious use of a powder puff. They were free from cos metics of any kind, however, and seemed nat arai, "It was among the. swelier set of women that the use of paint seemed rampant. I ta y rampant, because most of it looked at if it had been put on for its own sake and not os an aid to beauty. At the opera there was scarcely a woman to be seen who had not applied rogue with a liberality that suggested that she had taken into consideration the size of the building and wanted her cheek to look as red from the tox opposite her as to the perron seated with her.. And the strangest thing about their cosmetics was that most of them w o u;d have looked better without them. -I remember especially one conspicu ous woman in society who has very black hair and the high color that frequently toes with it. But this appaiently did not satisfy her. Paint was eveidently some thing that had robe put on with the diamond tiara and the string of pe-aris. go the natural redness of her cheeks was made several shades deeper by a coat of rogue. An Amtiiean or a French woman who set out to improve a complexion like that would have used powder and tried to mitigate the rosiness. Paint is distinctly the fashion in Lon don, and it is plainly put on for that rea jon. nnd not to increase a woman’s nat ural good looks. I went to a v. ry sma t garden party one afternoon and learned that I was wrong as to my conjecture- as to why so much was used at the opera. There was quite as much on view that bright sunny afternoon, and few of the women thought it necessary to resort to the favoring protection of a veil. On a coaching party one’ day I saw that paint was quite as popular in spoiling as.in in door society. "There were, of course, many women who did not disguise themselves in this way. and were satisfied with their natural complexions or some slight and artistic modification of them. But the number of conspicuously painted women are ap pallingly large. It certainly cannot be at tribute'! to the examples of the French, as paint is distinctly out of the mode in Paris. When I was there ten years ago the pale woman was the fashion, and so she is to-day. Women who have naturally high colors see to It that ihey obtain the popular degree of paleness. Women pale already rub on an extra layer of chalk, in order to look a little bit whiter than their friends. The procession of white faced women in the Bois every afternoon would lead a stranger to think the Parisians were becoming very anemic were it not for the invariable redness of the lips. They are always like cherries. This is rarely the result of nature, but it Is a pendant to the rage for while cheeks that the lipss shall be ruddy enough to proclaim perfect health. The cosmetic ! usually employed to produce this result ; was a kind of paste, although there -were - ss weil liquid preparations that accom pl’shed the same result. This style of beauty is thoroughly artificial, nnd the succession of pale-faced women became a little monotonous after a while. But it was rather an improvement on the highly colored English type, and it looked about as natural.” Here, says the New York Journal, is one o! the prettiest and most characteristic gowns of Mrs. Gladstone. Just after she "as married, her husband, who had al ready been a minister, put to her the ques tion: “Shall I tell you nothin?, and you can say nothing ? Or shall I tell you everything, and you say nothing? 1 ' She chose the latter of the alternatives; and he told her everything and she never fold anything— except one. Two cabinet minis ters were dining with her husband, then also a member of tlhe cabinet, and some 'hlt/g was mentioned, the details of which were known only to members of the cabi net and to such of their wives as were trusted with their secrets. -Mrs. Gladstone said, or did, or looked, something which revealed that she knew. At once there was flashed upon her from 'he brilliant black eyes of her husband one of those terrible looks he could give; It was a silent but an affrighting reproof, "hen the dinner was over, and Mrs. Gladstone went up to the drawing room, the had a good, old-fashioned cry, and wrote a note of apology to her husband. He scribbled back n reply; it was in tomethlng like these terms: "You are always right. You could not d° wrong. Never mention it again." Mr Gladstone had, of course, forgotten *ll about it, and his surprise was os great •* anybody else's when it was brought hack to his memory. One day he was •howing some of his old letters to some Sucms at Hawarden, and in the midst of H Mrs. Gladstone disappeared, and, oom 'ag down with a little bundle, said she •lei had her little treasures of the past which she must show; and then out came •his little note —faded, scarcely legible: Preserved throughout half a century of ommon life—of Joy and suffering and freatness together. !< was no wonder that everybody pres et was touched at this resurrection of something that brought hack tho Image of youth and enrly marriage and oil the Va st expanse of tenderness and perfect understanding that lay between! In the many perfections of this perfect marriage, Mrs. Gladstone was most won derful in flcr method of saving iter hus hand and looking after him in the most unostentatious way. Indeed, sometimes *h* did it with such wondrous loot and “hh such entire concealment of her pur pose that she gave to a superficial observer •n Idea of stolid stupidity. There was anew baby in the day nur it was a little boy about three years old. 'Vhere did you come from?” asked the matron, by way of an introductory re mark "I came sthwalt down fwom heaven, and *f"lp Ihister came, too," answered rite chilci promptly, somewhat to the matron s •Urprlxe.

With the opening of the Newport sea son anew bracelet will be introduced by the wemen of the smart set. In Paris it b already a fad. I is cal ed the thumb bracelet and shows an entirely new way to wttr a Jewel, says a writer in the New York Jcu nal. The brae-let consists of a broad band of gold worn about the wrist, which has attached to it a tine gold chain loop, from which a large jtwel dangles. In wearing the I rue Get the loop goes over the thumb and th“ jew 1 res s on the hand between the t umb and the lirst tlngrr. or, more co’rer.tly spa king, dangles there.

The loop is made of lit tle gold lirks, alternating with tiny ame thysts, and the Jewel which swings from i is an exquisitely colored amethyst, cut pear share and set with pearls. Another bracelet made in this same odd fad ion has a gold snake coiled about the wrist, a smaller geld snake twisted to form the loop anl an emerald for the and ngllng j wel. L sr si ason at Newport it was the fash i n to have the most priceless gem of one's coll ct’.on suspe ded from a fine gold hain w.rn about the neck. This season the Jewel must dangle from the thumb.

Her relatives entered Into the spirit of the thing nnd gave her every opportunity. They took her to Manhattan Beach and the theater*; she shopped and went to the Museum of Art: she visited the Stock Exchange, paid her respects to the God dess of Liberty and all the other thing* that no true New Yorker ever thinks c f doing, and which all well-regulated tour ists would not dream of going home with out having done. At- the end of her via It the Southern girl felt Justified in ven tilatiog.her opinion of it all. “Well.” she announced with a gravity befitting the subject. “I think-that your New York men are perfectly splendid. 4 never saw any thing like them before in my whole life." (Pride nnd pleasure expressed in the court tonnneen of all the males present > “They're so good looking, so tvell dressed and so—-I can’t *t)ink of the word, hut it has something to do with horses.!’ “Well groomed?” suggested one of the pleas’d, proud males. “Yes. that’s it—well groom ed.- Oh.” .with a deep sigh, “they’re reg ularly lovely. Put the New York wo men,” with a gesture of disgust. “What’s the matter with them?” chorused the wo men listeners. “They’re so ugly.” re plied the Southern girl. “Stylish, if. yoy choose, and well dressed sometimes, but. oh. so ugly! Why I never saw so many homely people in my life as Just since I’ve been in New York. Our plainest South ern women would be beauties here.” Jt was some time before any of the women listeners could find breath to answer. "But you must remember.” at length one of these managed to reply, “that you haven’t seen any New* York women—not any worth Judging from; that is to say, at •Sherlock Holmes.’ at the Garrick the other night and also at ‘The Casino Girl’ there were probably hardly‘fifty Manhat (anese-ln ths place. These plays hav-e been running for months, and all New Yprk hj\a seen them long ago, and the women you meet in the street, at whom vou so revile, are more than likely strangers from all over the country—from New England nnd Canada and the West, and ” “And the South,” here put in another woman, while “Yes. the South.” chimed in all the others. The little eelf appointed critic just pressed her pretty lips together and shook her head. “No not the South.’ she said, with the air of final refutation; “they couldn’t have come from the South or they would have been better looking.” i* Heathen mythology cannot be assumed to be historically correct, although it is often interesting. The leeend of the Hin doos concerning the creation of woman is one of the most entertaining of myths that have been preserved through the ages. It relates that at the beginning of time Twashtri. the prototype of Vulcan of more recent mythology, created the world. When he found that his work would be incom plete without woman all his material had been exhausted. There was not a single solid element remaining. Much perplex ed, Twashtri. after profound meditation, took the roundness of Ihe moon, the un dulations of the serpent, the entwlnement of creeping plants, the trembling of the grass, the slenderness of the rose vine and the velvet of the flower, the lightness of the leaf and the glance of the fawn, the gayety of the sun's rays and tear* of the mist, the Inconstancy of the wind and timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock and the softness of the down on the thront of the swallow, the hardness of the diamond, the sweet flavor of honey and the cruelty of the tiger, the warmth of fire, the chill of snow, the chatter of the Jay and the cooing of the turtle dove. He united al! this and formed a woman. Then he made a present of her to man. Eight days later man came to Twashtri and said: "My lord, the creature you gave me poi sons try existence. She chatters without v*t. rjie takes all my time, she laments for nothing a* all and is always ill." Anl T. received the woman again. But eight days later the man came again to the god and said: "My lord, life is very solitary since I returned this crea ture. I irnumber she danced before m* singing. I recall now she glanced at me from the corner of her eye, that she play ed will. me. clung to me " And Twashtri returned the woman to him. Three days only passed and T. saw the man coming to liim again. "My lord," said he. "I do not understand exactly how*. but I am sure that the woman causes me more an noyance than pleasure. I beg of you re lieve me of her.” But Twashtri cried: "Go your way and do your best.” And the man cried: "I can not live with her!” "Neither can you live without her.” replied Twashtri. And the man was sorrowful, murmur ing. “Woe is me. I can neither live with or wdthout her.” This is found in an English translation of a book of Hindoo legends recently dis covered. The title of the book is "Of n Finger of the Moon Reddened by the Set ting Sun.” and ia the sixth part of a large work. "The Surging of the Ocean of Time." It was written In Sanscrit and the original manuscript was given to an Englishman—Mr. Bain—by an old Brah min dying of the plague. The other five parts are not translated. At home a woman should be guided in her manner of dressing by an even greater desire to please than elsewhere. Her hus band. says the Ladies' Homo Journal, may be the most unobservant of men. but he will know when ehe looks neat and at tractive. with hair newly dressed, and some pretty arrangement about the bodice of her gown. The practice of wearing soiled finery at home cannot be too strong ly deprecated. Mrs. Edwin Gould, says a London let • er. who has been creating something of a sensation over here, for her youth, her good looks and her elegant (towns, and who was recently prisented at court.wore a few days ago a dress which attracted tttrnlion It was in black and white.those two most desirable colors from a modiste’s standpoint. "Give me Hack and white and I can do anything." said a fashionable dressmaker the other day. running her hands through a chilTon flounea of black and carelessly draping it over a white satin skirt. Mrs. Gould's dress, as worn In London and described by a girl correspondent In a letter to an artist friend in Paris, was all In black and whi e "Tha skirt.” said the letter, "was a black silk tulle, very shiny and as thin as a spider web. It was cut round’and was shirred at the waist line until It was exactly the same fulness a 1 the way around.' It was made Over a skirt of white taffeta With a ruffle of embroidery. The skirt had a joke of whits taffeta, em broidered In silver. "The waist was of black tulle with a yoke of embroidered taffeta set over a v s of t ilt The 1 wer pa t of the waist was of th white embroidery to match ttsyrk* The sleeves wer* of tulle shirr ed over s white taffeta foundation." The letter concludes: "You can imagine the pretty !W(t voolne s of sueh a gown and the sersaticn it made In a wilderness of color." ■ 4 brilliant teueb of qoltr U given these raher somber g wns by the stock which is of hr ght blue or green, or ev n pf scar t t For the maklfig of rtfese stocks’ the newest colors aro used, tbe fair pale sha>- of gieen ard the s arthng green ish blues being very popular.

She wa. not at all vain, says the New Y* r< Coir.tmrcial Adve tiser, but she di i think she looked rather we 1 in it. She had spent three afternoons trying on the stock in tiade of fifteen mi 1 ners, and th moment she saw' this hat cn its pedestal she knew it wa*s hers. She believed in a kind of material affinity between her s.lf and the clo.hes she ought to have. When the hat came home she pur it on for benefit of the five gir s with whom s e kept h use. Her ast glimpse into the m.iror reatsured her. and sh. walked into the r om with a suggestion of lho strut (fa peacock. "Tha looks very well, E sie!” Five vcice* in five and ffeient keys said the words in cl oi us. “You den’t bave to keep it?” asked a girl in a gray shirt waist. "No? Well, then, to tell the truth. I don’t quite like that rvght side. It droops ioo much.” ‘Not like that side?’* b oke in a pretty girl with brown iy.s, “Oh, I do, but the left side l* a littl- too high, don't you think?

Elsi' took the hat off slowly, carried it out, rut in its b x and spread the tis ?ue paper over it. She sent it back by the boy, who was waiting in hall, and faced the w ary vista of hat hunting days pati ntly. A young man of Louisville, says the Chicago Chronicle, has been in love tor a long time, but it was only the other day that his engagement to the girl of his choice was brought about. And this is the way it happened: The maiden's elder sister is what is known as "practical." Seeing that the happiness of both was likely to be lost altogether, or at least materially delayed, through the hesitation of the lover, she met him at the dewr not so very long ago and said: "I want to talk to you myse.f for Just a few minutes before Dulcinea comes down. You are in love with her and I know she cares for you, and if you tw’o can't fix it up why, I will. I'm go ing to give you fifteen minutes to tell her what you've been trying to’for more than two years. At the end of that time I m coming into the parlor, and if you haven t made your confession I’ll make it for you.” Dulcinea came down. The elder sister departed. At the end of a quarter of an hour she returned. "Have you tOid her?” “Well, you see, I haven’t had time just yet,” came the teply. "Ail light. Dulcinea. Mr. Longwaite wants you to marry him, but he can't summon up courage enough to tell you so. Am I right, Mr. Longwaite?" A nod of assent was all he was able to give, for nt that moment Dulcinea, who may or may not have been prepared, plac ed her hand In that of Mr. Longwaite, and then the creator of their happiness re tired. After a discreet interval there came a knock at the door and the proposer and disposer entered. "Do you want me to call father, Mr. Longwaite?" ehe said. “Can’t we wait until' to-morrow for that?” asked Mr. Longwaite. "I think we had better not, and as he is upstairs now I'll call him.” When paterfamilias turned up Mr. Longwaite was stricken dumb. A second time the strong-minded maiden came to the rescue, and asked for her sister’s hand for the silent wooer and paterfamilias, like Barkis, "was willin'.” Like all familiar customs, says the Philadelphia Times, the origins of which are lost in antiquity, the wearing of or ange blossoms at a wedding is accounted for in various ways. Among other stories is the following popular legend from Spain: An African King presented a Spanish King with a magnificent orange tree, whose creamy, waxy blossoms and won derful fragrance excited the admiration of the whole court. Many begged In vain for a branch of the plant, but a foreign ambassador was tormented by the desire to introduce so great a curiosity to his na tive land. He used every possible means, fair or foul, to accomplish his purpose, but all his efforts coming to naught, ha gave up In despair. The fair daughter of the court gardner was loved by a young artisan, but lacked the dot which family considered necessary to a bride. One day. chancing to break off a spray of orange blossoms, the gardner thoughtless ly gave It to his daughter. Seeing the coveted prize in the girl’s hair, the wily ambassador offered htr a sum sufficient for the desired dowry, pro vided she gave him the branch and said nothing about it. Her marriage was soon celebrated, and on her way to the altar In grateful remembrance of the source of all her happiness, she secretly broke off another bit of the lucky tree to adorn her hair. Whether the poor country gardner lost his head In consequence of his daughter's treachery the legend does not state, but many lands now know the wonderful tree, and ever since that wedding day orange blossoms have been considered a fitting adornment for a bride. To deplore “the great increase of drunk enness among women of education and re finement,” to dwell on Its dreadful conse quences and to discuss measures for abat ing the evil, seem to be necessary at cer tain Intervals. The latest voice heard cry ing Its warning, eays the W’hiladelphla Times, belongs to a woman, and It was at a temperance meeting that her addresa was made. She said the usual pessimistic things on the subject, declaring that drunkenness was Increasing at a destruc. tlve rate. She was. if possible, a little bit more discouraged about the outlook than the average person who sets out to deplore the Increase of drunkenness among women. Some idea of the despond ency of her views may be gathered from this part of her address: "Many women," she said, "acquire the taste for alcohol from cologne, which they drink constantly, although it contains 96 per cent, of alcohol. They drink all the essence# made for the toilet. Compound tincture of lavender Is one thing they drink a great deal. I know one New York woman who drinks eight ounces of laven der tincture every day. It contains 80 per cent, of alcohol. Women drink the essence of cinnamon and cloves, A well-known physician has. written to me that theee habiu are growing to an alarming extent among women. Women also acquire tho alcohol habit through temperance drinks, many of which have* been found to con tain 40 per cent, of alcohol. Peppermint drunkards arc made In this way and. they are very difficult to cure. Peppermint drunkards are nearly always women.” Jamaica ginger, baker’s yeast, alcohol as a medicine nnd various other terms of feminine tipples were mentioned by this Cassandra, who apparently sees very little hope for the women of this country. Continuing the discussion, the New York Sun says that it ,s a fact that New York society has during the post ten years had only two scandals in which it was shown that women were drunkards. One of those was a faithless wife, and it was urged in her defense that her use of stimulants had caused her downfall. The other case has never attracted such general attention, but it is known with comparative accuracy why a beautiful and attractive woman in society hos never married. She ts not now much more than 30. and her misfortune became known first some years ago. ln a set which is the most conspicuous in New York, which is the center of atten tion from all sides, only these two women have been discussed. So it is fair to pre sume that the forebodings of the temper ance lecturer were unneccesarily dark. It is usually in fashionable society that most of the drunkenness is to be found, accord ing to the yarns which regiflarly appear about cologne and other essences that wo men are supposed to drink. Asa matter of fact, drunkenness among women is now as much confined as to a certain Class. Among women of refinement and respectability there is no greater taste for alcohol, no greater indulgence in it than there always has been. The women of that particular class which hos always been ad diJied to drink probably drink no more than they ever did. and any consideration of iholr case has no place in discussing the alleged increase ln drinking among women in general. There is a young matron 1n Kansas City who is the possessor of a highly ner vous temperament, ns well as of a son. aged 6, who keeps his eyes nnd ears open and generally knows what Us transpiring about him. Some nights ago a number of friends dropped in at the home of this nervous woman nnd observant l>oy for the evening, and the husband, who, by the way, is a Southerner, suggested that he moke a mint julep for each of the com pany. At the same time he informed his guests that the mint was of an exeep iionally fine quality, as it came from their own private garden. The suggestion was received with delight and the juieps were promptly mixed. In his wife's glass, however, he put In only enough whisky to flavor the wa ter—probably not more than n teaspoon ful. Of this she pipped about half. Th** result, however, was the same. She was troubled with insomnia all night long, and it was not until 5 o’clock in the morning that she dropped off to sleep, and as a consequence was not called for breakfast. At 10 o’clock she came downstairs and, hearing the*voices of children on the front porch, stopped to Helen. Her heart filled with motherly pride as she heard her elder son. a hoy oft. telling seven or eight children from the neighborhood that they must not make too much noise, ns his mamma was asleep. Imagine her horror, too. as the young hopeful added: “She drank so much whisky last night that she couldn't come down to breakfast this morning.” The following little skit first made its appearance in the Chicago Tribune. It is entitled "Her Electric Snnrk." "Millie!" The young lineman twirled his hat In his hands in an agitated manner and spoke in a voice that seemed to have a tendency to get away from him. "Millie, the fact is. I—l—there's some thing I’ve been wanting to tell you a long time, but I can't .seem to fetch it. When you look at me like that, you know, it breaks me all up. I've been coming here so long that I oughtn't to be afraid, I reckon, you know how it is—or maybe you don't either. I thought I could say it all right when I came in. but you're a little the llvest wire I ever— I didn't think It would be so hard when I" Here he came to a dead stop. "Millie!" he exclaimed. In desperation. "I'm short-circuited! I've burned out a fuse!” "Jerry, are you trying to ask me to marry you?” "Y-yes!” "Why, of course T will, you foolish boy!"

The rat onal disease of Americans is in digestion or in its chrcnic form, ?ia, ard for the very reason that it is so common many people neglec: taking prop er treatment for what they consider trl flirg stomach trouble, wh n as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many incurable diseases. No person with a vigorous, healthy siomach will faTT" a victim to consumption. Many kidney dis eases and heart troubles date their begin ning from poor digestion; thin, nervous peopie are really sj because their stom achs are out of gear; weary, languid, failed out women owe their condition 10 imperfect digestion. When nearly every per.-on you meet is afflicted with weak digestion it is not surprising that nearly every sec et patent meuicine on ihe marke*. claims to be a c ure for dyspepsia, as well as a scoie of other troubles, when in fact, as Dr. Werthier *ays, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover, th a remedy is not a patent m dieine. but it fs a scien tific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal matter), vegetable essences, fruit sails and bismuth. It is soil by druggists under the’ name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. No extravagant claims arc mad. for them, but for indi gestion cr any stomach trouble. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any rcmorly yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simp- j ly eat all the whole-come food you want and ihese tablets w 11 digest it. A cure results, because all the needs is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion. a DUMB AGUE AND J A- malaria H LIPPMAN BROS..
