BY ONE OF THEM. .A handsome, gray haired matron, whose manners have made her famous, is complaining of the laxity of manners in young women of the present day. There are several points on which she lays stress; and elbow on the table heads the list. "When I was receiving my education at an expensive finishing school,” she 1 emarked, , “the fact was impressed Lpon my mind that there was plenty of Loom for my elbows but the table was not included. It received more atten- - tion than any other point, because children and grown people, too, I am sorry to say,'are prone to use the el- bows on every occasion. “I grew up with the idea that put- ting the’elbows on the table was on a level with the habit of eating with the knife and here I see high-bred women. of all ages indulging publicly in what'I was brought'up to consider was a seri- ous breach of etiquette. It may be all right enough, but it gives me a dis- tinct shock.” I can imagine her feelings, but not enter wholly upon them, because I know that according to the times there is not the slightest breach in table manners when whole rows of women lean upon the table. . If a woman has pretty arms and wears them bare on occasions she is sure to spend the entire dinner hour in some'pose that will show them off to the best advantage. That may not be in the best taste, but it is sensible, for whatever things of beauty we possess—jewels, pictures or needlework—we exhibit with pride and satisfaction and why not pretty arms ‘? One of the most fascinating pictures I ever saw was a sketch byCharlesDana Gibson, in which his creation, the American Girl, was seated at a res- taurant table facing a. handsome -man, who had admiration for his companion pictured in every line of his face. Her pose was fetching, with bare elbows resting upon the little table, the clasped hands supporting a very pretty chin. YetIcan understand that an awk- wark woman, or an ugly one might make such a ‘pose vulgar. It largely depends upon the woman who does these things, whether they please or disgust 115. M gazy/Aéé a/(éia. A ‘ ‘v' Feminine ' Chat. To be a good liar one must also pos- sess a. good memory. At this season of the year the even- ing gdmngls at its zenith. Somgj’jgirls seem to think it the greatest fun to make a bashful youth blush. Life is not altogether desolate to the woman who owns a handsome velvet gown. ' A tight Collar can make a woman’s throat look Older than her actual age, no matter what that may be. The person who talks loudest about his or her virtue is generally the one who has never been tempted. ' The facility with which the average person can get credit means the mesh of'debt from which it is so, hard to escape. Why is it so many women make home anything but what its name im- plies whenever the carver gets a spot on the table cloth ‘9 ' Why, oh, why, when shell hairpins are so cheap, will women wear metal ones, that have lost all their semblage of decency? The man who has tact enough to re- frain from conversation when a .‘woman is overcome by her emotions is the one most surely to be liked-by-her. It gives one something of a shock to read of persons long since dead cavort- - ing at balls and other mundane func- tions. Yet perhaps they are—we are not here to gainsay the power of the press. A brooch representing a thistle in amethyst with calyx of emeralds and leaves of diamonds is enough to make a woman do a Highland fling if she hasn’t a single drop of Scotch blood in her veins. The athletic girl sports gayly through the summer without a com- ,Rpunction as to complexion. . In an English periodical we note the advertisement “working dressmakers. ” C It is aipleasure to learn that there are in the world some who do make a pre« tense of honestly earning the money per day the unhappy one must pay‘ to be clothed, though not guaranteed to be in her right mind. . One the bugbears of the traveling woman whose locks are not naturally curly is the substitution of electric lights for gas in hotels where she stops. Tongs are useless unless alcohol lamps are trotted along, and they are a dread- ful nuisance, as every woman who has ever used them will aver. The Sm‘nuest'WMch. What is said to be the smallest watch in the world has been on exhi- bition in a. shop window in Berlin. It is the latest triumph in the art of watchomaking—that art that has made such a. wonderful progress within the past decade. The Liliputlan time- piece was made in Geneva. Its dia- meter is less than half an inch; its thickness is little more than a tenth of an inch. The entire wOrks of the tiny watch comprise ninety-five indi- ndual pieces. After having been wound up with the diminutive key, the watch will run for twenty-eight hours. l‘he most delicate tools and measuring Instruments were made specially for its construction. The preliminary work in the making of the watch was very expensive, and 'the selling price is $1250. Ready for the Seashore. One of the problems of the summer is how to dress the children in order to keep them neat looking and at the same time not overburden them with unnecessary clothing. The dress which has and always will prove most popular for seaside wear is the flannel or serge sailor suit. As these suits are usually made without lining and of the lightest weight ma- terial, they are every bit as cool and comfortable as dresses of thinner goods. . A pretty suit of navy blue serge, has the short skirt made with pleats. The sailor blouse is adorned with an im- mense collar of white pique, while the set in plastron is of the same material, embroidered with an anchor. Tiny cuffs of white trim the edges of the sleeves. Vie for Old Pillow Covers. Old linen pillow cases that are worn to the verge, but not over it, of break— ing in pieces, may be slipped out of the linen closet and put aside to be used as bags in which valuable winter garments may be safely put away. Any place that is fretted through should be reinforced with a piece of old material, either cotton or linen, and When the coat or gown is carefully brushed to see that absolutely no moth egg or creature is left in, it may be in- serted. The ends of the case are then slipped in the machine and closed tightly. Thus protected, it ‘is safe to keep the. garment in bureau draw- ers, a few pieces of lump camphor be- ing tossed in as an additional safe- guard. ‘ When Young People Grow. The year of greatest gro‘wth in boys is the seventeenth; in girls, the four- teenth. While girls reach full height in their fifteenth year, they acquire full weight at the age of twenty. Boys are stronger than girls from birth to the eleventh year; then girls become superior physically to the seventeenth year, when the tables are again turned, and remain so. From November to April children grow very little and gain no weight; from April to July they gain in height, but lose in weight, and from July to November they in- crease greatly in weight, but not in height. Creamed Fish. In creaming fish in the chafing-dish, the plebeian and inexpensive cod be- comes as toothsome as salmon or hali- but, if properly marinated. This sea- soning should be' applied half an hour before the fish is to be creamed, and, of ’course, after it is boiled, the latter should be flaked and carefully freed from bones and skin. To a tablespoon- ful of olive Oil add a half-teaspoonful of onion-juice, the juice 'of half a. lem- on, a pinch of salt, a bit of paprica, and celery-salt. Pour this mixture over the fish, turning it with a fork that it may penetrate throughout; then cream as usual. A Chinese Baby Show. A Chinese baby show was one of the attractions at the mining fair at San Francisco. Two hundred babies of Oriental parentage were displayed, and the sight was unique on this occasion. The little boys had-their heads shaven, and the girls had their hair stiffened and decked with fringes of beads and paper flowers. The complete gravity and silence of this array of Celestial infants added to the queerness of the show. To Fro-t Curl-unto. To frost currants, that palatable fruit being at hand now, only very large and perfect clusters Should 'be used. Beat the white of an egg to a Still froth; dip the clusters in this, and let them lie a moment on a wire sieve to drain be- fore they are lightly rolled in pow- dered sugar that has been pulverized- to the last degree wth a rolling-pin. Spread the sugared bunches on a clean white paper, slipping-this on a. tin’plato to dry in a cool oven. ' Teaching Boys to Cook. The domestic science department of a. woman’s club has found a class of boys recruited to be instructed in camp cooking exceedingly profitable. The boys are from the families of well- to-do persons, and become remarkably proficient in making coffee. broiling steak, bacon, or fish, tossing together corn-bread, and preparing eggs in van. was toothsome ways. The idea is a. valuable one, now that summer camp. for growing lads are popular. . . ~Advertioe 1; THE? GAZETTE. ' number of his, choice lots in Dawson —The Pioneer 0 the Klondike.
