Variant Waists.
The fashion of making the two sides
of the waist of different materials has ar¬
rived in this country, but as usual the
idea has been left either in England or at
the bottom of the ocean. The style was
set afloat at oue of those half-aesthetic,
half-business-like gatherings where idle
women with theories, reformers, fashion
able ladies, and dressmakers of high de¬
gree convene aud the one-sided drapery
was shown, so arranged as to make a
woman look like a statue, the underdress
fectly being of pink or and flesh color, made per¬
drapery plain, being white the overdress and
of or of any desired
hue. This overdress was drawn over one
shoulder and under the arm on the other
side, and the effect was rather startling
at a little distance; but American dress¬
makers put a shirring on one shoulder
and braiding on the other, and lace on
one side of the waist and velvet on the
other, and trim the two sides of a shawl
shaped play opening in different ways, and
other fantastic tricks. It hurts no¬
body, and it enables them to use up
quantities of odds and ends; but it looks
fuuny, and if the asthetic originators
could but sec it! Remember, ladies,
that it is a half draped statue that you
represent, and insist on having one half
of your frock waist absolately plain.—

f She Chews Gum.
The foremost belle and beauty of a
large New York tobacco factory has
quit the rolling of cigarettes, removed
the stains of tobacco from her fingers,
and is on exhibition in a Bowery dime
museum. If she were heiress to a
million her loveliness would be lauded
beyond that of any girl in swelldom.
She is a blonde, perfect in shapeliness
aud beautiful in face. What is she doing
in the museum? She is chewing gum.
One of the manufacturers and heavy
advertisers of gum has contracted with
the manager of the show for her appear¬
ance. She sits on a raised platform
along with an assortment of freaks. She
wears a rich evening dress of white
satin. Her hair is dressed in the latest
style, aud altogether she has an air of
delicate, high breeding. For full twelve
hours a day she is on duty. Her jaws
seem tireless, and with a few inter¬
missions for rest she chews away at a
cud of gum, paying no particular heed
to the jocose spectators, making no
answer to their remarks, and deriving
apparent satisfaction from the admira¬
tion which she feels that she excites.
Besides, there is the pay in cash, the
amount of which nobody outside the
deal knows. Behind her are emblazoned
the announcements that she chews a cer¬
tain make of gum only, and boxes of it
are piled around her. A boy sells the
gum to whoever chooses to buy, but
the main idea is to make the visitors to
the museum go out and talk about the
odd sight, and thus create a new de¬
mand for the article. — Chicago Herald.
The Care of the Face.
Eschew everything else except plenty
of but hot water, not warm or tepid water,
hot. The face should be thoroughly
washed with very hot water every night
and the skin well rubbed during the
process. The hands are best for this. It
is a mistake to use rags or sponges for
the face. When the skin is completely
cleansed by the hot water it might be
washed a second time with cold water,
which acts as an invigorant. Then it
ought to but be without perfectly friction. dried with Some a soft
towel, wo¬
men scrub their faces with a flesh brush,
and afterward rub them dry with a coarse
bath towel. I do not know what sort

is one that everybody can have in an un¬
limited quantity. It is far preferable to
the finest powder or balm or lotion ever
manufactured, and while I repeat that I
do not consider the objectionable use of face powder and
without bismuth now
then, my advice is to employ it less and
hot water more. Never, however, wash
the face oftener than twice a day, night
and morning. After being out in the

or not, scarcely one woman in a hundred
can use it at all on her face without find¬
ing that it irritates the skin. There is
a good deal of nonsense uttered about
soap. For the purpose of cleanliness hot
water answers all the necessary require¬
ments so far as the face is concerned..—

Fashion Notes.
Breastpins grow larger.
Real laces are being revived.
The furor of lace garniture still con¬
tinues.
Oriental combinations of colors are
much worn.
Tucked waists are again a feature of
thin muslin dresses.
A Parisian novelty in the way of para¬
sols is a sunshade of fancy straw, deco¬
rated with flowers and knots of ribbon.
Hats still have wide brims, and
feathers, small and tightly curled, make
the crown, with an aigrette of ribbon or
flowers.
Morning gowns cut low in the neck at
the front fasten over a fichu of folded
mull, and have cuffs of folded mull about
the wrist.
Among new fabrics corded silk, with
a thread the of gold running and through indescribably it. is
one of richest,

If a silk petticoat is worn, it must
match ihe gown in hue quite as strictly
as the stockings and much more so than
than the gloves.
The greens which are in vogue at
present are not emerald nor olive shades,
but pale reed green, a roseau, as the
French call it. Nile green, snowball and
water lily green, apple green, and the
dull, dark shades known as Florentine
greens and serpent.
A Boston Man’s Original Levee.
A young man in Boston who is going
abroad soon, wished to entertain some
friends before his departure. He knew
they were surfeited with the ordinary
style of evening parties. He wanted
something original. He invited ten
young ladies and nine young gentlemen.
As each guest entered the reception
room he or she received a handsomely
engraved card which bore the mysterious
word “Causerie.” A hint as to the
meaning of what would follow was given
by the quotation from “Paradise Lost:”
“With thee conversing, I forget all
time.” After his guests had ,puzzled
their brains host trying volunteered to decipher the mean¬
ing, the an explanation.
Ten subjects were presented for discus¬
sion, and he had chosen ten couples
to do the work. Instead of
spending the evening in dancing,
eacli gentleman with the was expected to fill out
his card names of the young
ladies with whom he desired to talk. In
that respect it differed slightly from the
selection of partners for the dance. There
could be no wall-flowers. The conversa¬
tion must be general. Five minutes were
devoted to each topic, and at a signal
from the host there was a general change swap¬
ping the of partners and a complete For

ladies had practically floored the gentle¬
men in regard to the relative merits of
baked beans and brown bread as the
best method of producing big heads
on baseball tossers, they turned
their attention to the topic:

Simplifying Matters.
The bridesmaid and the usher have
gone out of fashion for the present.
Stylish weddings will be arranged so
that the bride and groom shall have no
rivals for the attention of the onlookers.
The regulation society wedding has be¬
come of late such an expensive thing
that more than one young man, matrimo¬
nially inclined, has dreaded the bill he
must pay for a supper to his ushers, pres¬
ents to the same etc. And the father
who has to foot the bills pertaining to a
daughter’s marriage will be glad to have
the extravagance of the ceremony re¬
duced t o a minimum.

Francis O’Reilly, the well known livery man
of No. 18 Prince street. New York, says of All
cock’s Porous Plasters:
“For the last forty-two years I have been en¬
gaged in the livery and hacking business. I
am greatly aided by my four boys. We are
much exposed to the weather, and we have
found Allcock’s Plasters of very great ser
vice. We use them as chest protectors, placing
one on the chest and one on the pit of the stom¬
ach. They not only ward off the cold, but act
as a tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheuma¬
tism, kinks in the hack, and pains in the side;
but one or two of Allcock’s Plasters quickly
cure us. My wife and daughter have been
using Allcock’s Plasters for weak back and
think the world of them. I have now been
using them for twenty years, and always have
