A Pretty Fad.

Thr fashion of Kola< without a hat prialeca to be followed more widely this season than ever before, it U a f r"tty custom, extremely becoming and very beneficial for the hair. There ■ Is bat one drawbsrk to It. and that Is that It is hard on the complexion. Fretdiles are not becoming nor is a coat 01 tan a desirable addition to an autumn toilet. The girl adth an eye to the future will carry a parasol when she goes without a hat. Bocts ard Ill-Shaped Feet. A b» o authority declares that' a women with big, shapeless feet can only aiTord to wear a laced boot, and never a low shoe of any kind. Buttoned boots are not to be recommended. a pretty foot suffering considerably in these. No matter how firm the buttons, they •give'‘ to the motions of the feet, and if worn regularly entirely ruin a pretty ankle. Laced boots, on the other hand, tend greatly toward the correction of any faults a foot

may poceeas.

Buttoned boots encourage the spreading out and unnatural development of a good shaped foot and arc the cause of many a weak ankle. Wedding Expenses. All wedding expenses are assumed by the bride's fsmily. Wedding day. church, clergyman and nil details are of the bride's choosing. Since the bride becomes his wife after the ceremony, the bridegroom Is privileged to fee the clergyman, sexton and organist He also hires the carriage in which he and his wife leave the c’Burch. The bride usually gives about s week before the wedding a dinner or luncheon. to which the groom, best man and ushers are sometimes invited. The duties of the best man are to see that the bridal couple arrive punctually at the church, to ta!:e charge of the ring and to perform all other little commissions incident to the ceremony. He makes all arrangements for the wedding trip and secs that the happy couple are safely sl&rtM on their hone/moon.—American Queen. Barbaric Jewelry. There Is a great craze Just now for odd and barbaric Jewelry. One does not need diamonds to bo distinctively in style. A noavean art necklace, a gold chain studded with uncut turquoise or sapphire stones, a matrix pin—any one of these will stamp the

Jade the very popular. Coral, either rough or in polished bead form, is much worn. Semi-precious stones are Been to a great extent, topaz being prominent among them. Oriental jewelry in the shape ol girdles and necklaces Is beautiful, but not every woman can wear It. A lovely necklace of uncut turquoise has a gold bead between every two blue rtones, and another pretty combination In pink coral alternating with white rappbircs. One beautiful and elaborate necklace seen recently was made of two rows of seed pearls, with pendant gems hanging at Intervals all the way around. In the centre, forming a pendant, was a quaintly shaped, rather large baroque pearl, and among the other stones were sapphires, amethysts, topazes and moonstones. This necklace was short and $tted the neck.

by that?" asked the woman. "Why. you know, the girl who doe* not fuss Is the girl who does not mind

things."

"Your explanation Is worse than your original statement," said the woman. "CouUo't you be a little more

lucid?"

"it's deuced hard to explain." said the man. ''It'#—It's er—or—er—why. the girl who does not let the small worries of life wear upon her

nerves. - *'

"Now we're beginning lo reach daylight." said the woman. "Develop that statement a little." "Now. I'll Just give you Illustrations of the girl who does fuss, then you'll tee exactly what I mean." said the man. "One girl that I took to the theatre spoiled the entire play for bis because she fretted so over the disagreeable breath of a man who oat near her. Now that sounds very vulgar. but It's a fact. Instead of remarking on the features of the play she devoted her entire attention between the acts to setting forth the different ways in which the obnoxiou* breath annoyed her. *Another girl once took away the pleasure of a trolley ride because I was unable to secure the coveted front seat. Still another of the fussy type made life miserable for every partner she had at a dance because some previous clumsy partner had stepped on bet dress and torn it. Of course it was natural for her to mention the accident to her gown, but there was no reason why she should have scolded about it all the evening. Why didn't she make the best of it?" "Go on. this is becoming Interesting." said the woman. "Maybe If you continue I shall And myself belonging I to the fussy woman class, the class you don't like.” I "Well, there Is the woman who grows peevish the minute she Is Jostled or crowded, who talks for an hour about the impudence of a loafer who spoke to her and Signifies a slight Into an Insult. More than once I have started out to give a girl the best of good times only to be thwarted by her petty objections over the minutest things. Her.Ice cream was not hard enough, the show was a failure because a woman In the seat Hn front laughed too loudly, she was wholly unhappy because her gtpm wrinkled at the shoulder, and she could not get over the fact that sbo was v eering roses when violets would go better with her gown. Instead of carefully ignoring everything that would tend to mar the good time she hunts for line troubles. It is In gain to try to turn such a girl's thoughts lo other things and to convince her that the small Irritations are not worth noticing, for she at once becomes grieved and pouts and says that a man docs not have a bit of sympathy. Now do you see what I mean? Po you wonder that I like the other

erb which says that "saving's earning." then the earning ca; of women always has been greater,

than that of men.

Oh. the saving women of this world! The women who sit up late making over last season's clothes to save buying new ones; the women who stealthily tiptoe across the floor to turn down the gas when papa doze; over his newspaper; the women who darn huge holes In baskctXuis of .stockings; the women who have a cracked teapot or old pocket book Into which they drop stray dimes and qt ters, taking the accumulation to savings bank with guilty secrecy; the women who wash out pieces of carpet to make them appear fresh and new. who turn the trimmings on their hats and clean their gloves with gasoline, and cut down tSe clothes of Willie, tged 14, to fit Jimm'e, aged 10. Bless

Ihem. every one!

There is another sort of saving which might properly be termed hoarding. It consists In laying down rugs to prevent the nap of the carpet from wearing, in phtting paper covers on prettily bound books. In locking up the little girl's French doll. We read the other day of a woman who made a plush cover for the rosewood piano and a linen cover for the plceh and a newspaper mat for the linen. We hope there are not many women like her. In this tort of saving there Is often n admixture of folly. There is yet another kind. Saving car fare at the cost of an exhausted body, saving lunch money and "skimping" the table.

Before and After VS^Accld :-iA member ol the Baltimore bar tell* of an instance where ready wit won a caic which seemed hopeless Iron* a legal point ol view. A Rray-naired colored man was the plaintiff in a suit against a corporation lor ten thousand dollars damages for injuries by the negligence of the corporation's employes. The testimony ol many witnesses was strongly in his favor and he had hobbled feebly, bent and'pain-racked, to the stand and told a story which had manifestly elicited the sympathy of the jury. "Uncle." asked the attorney for the corporation. on cross-examination, "since the accident, how high have you been able to lift your right arm?” "Jes 1 about so high, sab,” answered the plaintiff, as. groaning with pain, he gradually lifted his hard on a level with "Very well." answered the attorney, sympathetically, "now tell the gentlemen of the jury how high you were able to lift the same arm before the acci-

dent."

In • twinkling uncle's face lighted up as he answered. ''About dis high, shooting his arm in the air almost parallel with his body. A snicker was heard in the court room and several of the jurymen were seen lo smile. The plaintiff - s attorney moved uneasily and finally rose to interfere, when he was ordered by the

A guardian of the law* was relating to a small audience how. after arresting a misdemeanant, he was obstructed by another person, whereupon he also ar-

"What would you have done." queried a bystander, "if. instead of actually interfering. he had simply spoken his mind and called yon an impertinent, officious, loafing scoundrel, who only loitered around and laid violent hands his betters—adding that he consid;d you a vegabond and a blackguard?"

"Then." said the querist. “I think so.” The policeman hasn't yet decided what his duty was in this case. Declaration of Independence Fading. The Declaration of Independence is to be seen no more by the pnblic, according to a' writer in Argonaut, an* order having been issued that henceforth the historic manuscript shall be kept under lock and key in -a great fire and light-proof safe. This decision has been reached as the result of an examination of the document by a committee of the American Academy of Sciences, recently in session in New York, who acted at :he instance of Secretary Hay. whose attention had been called to the sad state of the famous document. Most of the text of the Declaration is still legible, but bnly one or two of the signatures can be made out. There is only a trace of the autograph of John Hancock, the first to sign. The document from time to time wifi be photographed in order to measure as nearly as possible the result of the protective steps.
