LOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE “WOMEN. BY ONE OF THEM. p Society crazes can best be described as annual epidemics of pleasure for leisure hours, and as the upper classes have most time to fritter away, it is among them that they first spring into existence, and flourish like thistles, till society, satiated, passes what Dives has left down to the would-be fashion- able Lazaruses at their gates, To onlookers these crazes are amus- ing and instructive—amusing because ' people treat their crazes as if they were the sole objects and ambitions of life, instructive because society’s god, “Good Form,” is knocked down one season by the very craze he had put hisaugust foot upon only the year be: fore.» ' The best example of this is the bi- cycle craze. We all knOw how at one time. bicycling, especially for women, 'wasxnmsidered only a pastime for the fastor’ the foolish, and, of course, so- ciety is never either fast or foolish. ther the heading of folly are cranes "innumeracle, such as the ‘fdrawl.”.§.mania, which ~ young. men especially considered the ‘ Correct thing. ' ', 5U - ., Perhaps bicycling is one of the healthiest epidemics that have attack- ed the upper ten for a long time, and also the most sensible, by cOmparisOn, for instance, with the crutch and toothpick craze, the inventor of which plumedi §himself greatly on having made it fashionable. They spoke as if they were dragging , a‘ sieepyi tongue out of bed, or as if a plum was in their mouths. The gilded youths who went in for this eccentrici- ty generally belonged to what should be called the "Bored Brigade,” that is, those: who think it "bad form” to appear interested or energetic about anything; After a season or two, however, the “Bored Brigade" became stronger, and; actually became able to support an eye-glass and carry a buttonhole. The bored babies also among society women, after a season or two of French languid . chocolate - munching, and French novel reading, have regained sufficient muscle to arrange their draw- ing rooms in the latest high art style and drape their furniture with rein nants of sad-colored chiffon or silk. Some crazes are really pretty and artistic, but no such terms can be ap- plied to the “golden hair” horror that once haloed, but not hallowed, almost every head. Society must have something to play with, for society is nothing more than somany grown-up children with a lot ofleisure. The best thing, therefore, is to provideit with crazes that benefit Others. The opera, the theatre, balls, receptions, concerts, all glimmered and glittered with brazen erections of hair. To. such an extent was this folly carried that some society women even dyed their children’s hair. . Society,with all its faults,_is naturally kind-hearted and. generous and if ap- pealed to properly, will respond warm- iy and heartily, and even begin to take that most wholesome of tonics—un- ' selfish interest in others. 4% flatly/clef. ¢gjve. V Femidine Chat. A It",isn-’t the coldest drinks that make as the most cool. Canvas cheviot is a new fabric used in summer tailor gowns. The taste of a well iced canteloupe was described as an internal “‘tubbing. ” The high collars worn by modish women are genuine bits of torture now- adays. Well defined coat tails will be seen on costumes designed for cold weather wear. Let . us hope that this week in the ' palpable these days, when to matter of weather will act much better than last. Love digs a grave for itself as sOon as it thinks it can get along without perfect trust. A road traveled for the first time seems so much longer than after we grow accustomed to it. Dirty white is about as warm and ugly looking as can be imagined. White to be attractive must be im- maculate. The truest form of loneliness comes when we are left to ourselves after hav- ing been used to a congenial compan- ion. . » The tinkle of ice in the pitcher has a more attractive sound than the finest band in the world—~if you are thirsty. ‘ The condition of one’s nails it very wear gloves is to add to our physical dis- comfort. It may be clear all day, but you can rest assured that it will rain if you go out in a white gown and minus an umbrella. The air of studied Bohemianism cul- tivated by some young men may please themselves, but it dOesn’t impress out- siders one whit. The visitor who is continually telling you of improvements you could make in your house is not apt to be invited to come again. So few women acknowledge that their gray hair comes from age instead of fright, worry or something else that turned it prematurely. Some people dare to be disagreeable over the telephone who would be meek as Moses if they were face to face with the persons to whom they are talking. The woman who has not already done, or is now planning to do some- thing for our soldier boys is such a rare avis that the museums are yawn- ing for her. It is a sure sign of advancing years when we take special delight in our own bed, and eschew visiting for the simple reason that we would have to give it up if we did so. Men have a great belief in the com- forting qualities Of food. If a baby cries they declare it is hungry, and ifa woman is in sorrow they think all she needs to cheer her up is _a good dinner. —Everybody Talks of the Klondike. With the approach of Spring and the opening days of navigation and trans— portation in Alaska, the interest in the wonderful gold mines of the Klondike is increasing. ’ Those of- our readers who cOntemplate the long journey, should put themselves into communica- tion promptly With The Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and Development Com- pany of Yukon. This Company, which has been organized by some of the most prominent financiers of New York. runs its line of steamers to Dawson City via St. Michaels. It actually owns some of the most valuable placer and quartz mines in the Klondike. 'The attention of our readers is called to a tatemen-t of the Company printed in his issue. - T0 RENT.
