WOMAN’S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR FEMININE READERS. P .t-\ . 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.— Boston Transcript. 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 of skin those ladies can possibly have, but at any rate their modus operandi is not one is to generally recommend. in the world, Hot water the best cosmetic and it 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 open adhere air, where particles skin, the of face dust are apt be to to the mryy Griped gently with a piece of fine linen —an old handkerchief is best—to which has almond been applied It a is minute astonishing quantity of meal. to see how much dirt can be removed by this simple months, process. During the winter when the skin is likely to be¬ come cumber chapped and reddened, a little cu¬ cream rubbed on the face before exposing it to the outer air will effect¬ ually prevent the disastrous results of cold and wind. As for soap, medicated 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..— New York Graphic. 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, handsome. 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 in style of conversation. opened the ball in¬ by stance, the company telling what they knew about “Boston Busy B’s, Baked Beans, Brown Bread, Baseball, Big Brains, Blooming Beauties, Blithesome Bachelors.” When the young 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: “The Lady or the Tiger—Which?” opinion There was a strong division of on that. The others were: “Conscious¬ ness,” “The real affinity between a red¬ headed girl and a white horse, “Boston Fads,” “Given a squirrel on a tree and a man at the foot. The man moves around the tree, the squirrel does the same thing, keeping always on the opposite side. ‘ Can the man g > round the squir¬ rel “Will the 1 opposition to the An¬ dover theology warrant the heathen in adopting a protective tariff, excluding our missionaries?” “Does an incubated hen. have any maternal instinct?” and the ladies were familiar with the last topic for the evening: “Leap Year.”— Argonaut.

It was rather a startling been considered announcement, as she had not There bad been a marriageable courtship going quantity. no on of which Mr. Leonard and his wife had any She knowledge declared and they were puzzled. her intention of presently leaving tlieir service and geing West with her husband. It was a week be¬ fore they even saw him. Then it so happened questions about that Mr. Leonard asked some him and received these replies: “What is your husband’s business?” he asked the cook. “1 dnuno. I nebber axed him.” “How much does he earn?” “I dunno dat eider. Reckon I kin take care ob myself if he doan’t earn nuffin. I always has.” “Yes, but don’t you think you ought to know what his business is and what his income is?” “I doan’t belieb in axin’ no- questions. He might get mad at me if I did. I tuk him fo’ bettak or fo’ worse and if it am worse dah ain’t no help fo’ it wedder he wuks at one ting or anodder ting. The ony way fo’ me is to try de coon, and see how he bake.” 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. How to Overcome tlie Danceri of Ex¬ posure. 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.
