Brief Discussion as to Why Hen Don't Propose. ■^% YEll and over again women have asked themselves that same interesting question that this column is trying hard to solve: Why don"t the men propose? Every wo man carries a kind of sphinx in her heart, and when she is lazy or blue or lonesome, she lounges up to it and asks this question. She knows she would make a good wife to some one — if only the right one would appear. She knows that somewhere her affinity is wait ing to say to her those words her heart is hungering for, and it seems hard that, his coming should be so long delayed. And — it is the same with him. He would like to get married, but the question is — to whom. One girl is too giddy, an other too sober, a third too frivolous kind a fourth tee poor. Then the question of ad ditional expenses and responsibility comes up to frighten him. The average man lives well up to his income, and he does not quite Bee how he can support two persons on what seems barely sufficient for one. Old married men tell him that it is just as cheap to care for two as one, but somehow he never really believes this. He notices that his married friends do hot smoke as much or drink quite so often or drop in for a game of billiards or pool as when they were single. He sees that many of them take to shaving themselves and to practicing other little economies. All this is a big bugaboo to him. "How shall we cure him of this?" ask the girls. There is only one way. Argu ment won't do it, discussion will not, threats will not, wheedling will not. There is only one thing — Let him begin to be haunted by a pair of bright eyes that will not down, that follow him to his work and seem to look at him the last thing at night and the thing is done. He forgets all about his precautions and scruples and in a little while another bachelor is gone. BLISS OF FLIRTATION. Its Value as a Means of Grace to Men and Hope to Women. "To flirt or not to flirt; that's the ques tion. Whether 'tis nobler for a girl to suf fer the unsought vowiugs of a callow lover, or to make merry with his sighs and long ings, and gently laughing rend them. To love, to flirt, and by flirtation to say we end the heartache aud . the thousand foolish things that man inclines to? 'Tis a con suuiation devoutly to be wished, and, there fore" said the, laughing belle who thus par odied Hamlet, "I am in favor of flirtation as a means of grace to men and hope of wedlock to women." Flirtation belongs to the genteel comedy of life. Once in awhile it enters the do main of the melodramatic, and at a longer interval reaches even the tragical, but a properly- col ducted and well-regulated flirtation is simply very delicious and inter esting high comedy. To enjoy it in its best estate the parties must be young, well educated and of polished manners, though it maybe enjoyed in lesser degree by those ' not so well furnished. It is not love-mak ing. Young people may, and do make, very effectual and substantial love to each other, and love-lorn maidens walk and talk and moon and spoon with fourth-rate dandies till the well-known laws of attrac tion and gravitation bring the intercourse to a natural termination. These things are well enough in their way, but they are no more like flirtation than small beer is like champagne. Neither is it coquetry, which is a heartless thing, not worthy of being com pared with flirtation. Coquetry is a regular and open attack directed against a fortress, the mode of attack, if the general is skillful, being calculated on the strength, resources, situation arid disposition of the defender. Flirtation is a sort of skirmish, often brought on by the accidental meeting of re connoiteringf paaties, and continued till a clear reconoissance of the opposite post has been gained, when it either ends in a regular siege or in a retreat. A coquette glories in the mischief she does, and gloats over the bleeding hearts of her victims as an Indian does over the scalps of his enemies, but a flirt has no cruel purpose, gives no pain, has plenty "of sunshine about her, and society in general, and some young men in particular, owe her a debt of grati tude. Dr. Johnson defined a flirt as "a young hussy, ''which, like others of his definitions, shows his utter want of comprehension of the subject . Webster as ignorantly defines it as '"a young fill who acts with giddi ness." Evidently we cannot trust the dictionaries. We very frequently hear that a certain lady or gentleman is a terri ble flirt, and there at once springs up in our minds a sort of vague prejudice against that person. A more unreasonable judg ment can hardly exist. A flirt may be. but Is not necessarily,, ah objectionable person. It is by means .of flirtation that a lady or gentleman institutes a sort of preliminary examination into the character, habits, ap titudes and tastes of a possible husband or wife. They have their individual views of married bliss and desire congeniality. There are numerous kinds of flirts, most of them good, but some better than others. The flirt intellectual leads all the rest, and Is a most excellent variety. Some of the young fellows are afraid of her, but those who do bend at her shrine are usually of the best type. She says good ; things hcself, and she flatters her admirers into saying good things. The prosperity of many a bon mot of her male companion is due to her ready repetition of it, and her sprightly conversation seems only to reflect his intellectual vigor and ! power of thought. The power of artful | Hattery can no farther go than she carries ! it. for what male being is there who does | not dote oh the excellence of his own intel lect and the brightness of his own utter ances? BEAUTY IN BIG HATS. Soniethinsr About t!ie Galmesbor ouch iDd Its Inventor. The Gainesborough hat has come again. It is everywhere, on the streets, in the churches, on shopping excursions, oh our drives, at weddings, at funerals. It is al ways out of place and always in place, for when is it misapropos for a woman to look pretty and picturesque? Already are anathemas being hurled against the girl with the big hat, but let me whisper a word of consolation to the theater-going popu lace: It has come early; its reign will be short. Long before the season is in full blast its glory will have departed. No goddess so tickle as fashion, and as quickly as one altar is erected she builds another shrine, and bids her votaries follow, and on they co. madly and hotly, like Crusaders of old to the Holy Land. It is rather an anachronism that the hat should have been called the Gainesborough; should have been named for the artist, instead of the arch, smiling beauty, the Duchess of Devonshire, whose fame and glory are co existent with two great artists, both Rey nolds and Gainesborough. Twice the lady is reported to have set the fashion in hats in her own time. When as Lady GeoiEina Spencer she married the Duke of Devon shire, the best match in all England, she is described as a lovely young girl, natural and full of grace. She discouraged the wearing of the immense hoops which were then in vogue, and appeared in coquettish Jittle aprons and demure little caps, which were called the "Devonshire," and court journals announced the entrance of a new grace at court, "Simplicity." The ardor of the duke for his lovely young bride cooled in a month, and she commenced a career for herself. From severe simplicity of dress she plunged into the wildest extrava gance and ostentation. Her first eccen tricity which roused paper war was her appearance in an ostrich feather of uncom mon growth, an ell and three inches in length, presented to her by Lord Stor mount on his return from an embassy to Paris. This set the fashion which so long shook defiance at both satire and common sense and, spanning the lapse of 100 years, does the same thing to-day. But the fame of the duchess is more last ing as "Queen of the Whigs" than as Queen of Fashion. She it was who bought a vote horn a butcher with a kiss, and in spired one elector with such a frenzy of ad miration that he exclaimed: "Were I God Almighty I'd make you Queen of Heaven!" Her success as an abettor to politics has only been equaled by an American girl of this age, Lady Randolph Churchill. DANGEROUS PHOTOGRAPHY. A Warning to Young: Ladies Who Forget that Picture* are Endur ing 1 . It has become high time that a protest were entered in regard to the abuse of con fidence in amateur photography. Society girls allow themselves to be taken in atti tudes which are far more careless and fa miliar than they would think of assuming before the camera of the professional pho tographer, and they seem entirely to forget that the picture is quite as enduring when taken by the one as the other. It seems so much like a jest to most people to sit down to be photographed by their friends that they commit a hundred follies which are harmless enough, but of which such a record as the photograph makes is at least a pretty severe trial to good taste. There are floating about in the hands of all society young men pictures in which young ladies of the most faultless propriety are represented in a way which would glfe to strangers the impression that they wore de cidedly fast. Once a negative is secured the amateur photographer, if a man, is usually open to the persuasions of his friends for copies of any of his work that pleases them, while young lady artists are, if anything, a great deal worse in the free dom with which they scatter their plates about. We saw the other day a photograph rep resenting a young lady we know to be not only refined and modest, but of rather un usual strictness in matters of propriety, representing her sitting on a fence, a man's hat tilted over one eye and a man's arm about her waist to enable her to maintain her rather ticklish .position. It was some foolish caprice of a* moment of excitement and fun, of which she could not have real ized either the folly or the fact that a photograph meant a permanent record of an undignified whim; yet here was the picture exposed to the public gaze, and that, too, on the mantel of a bacheior who was not personally acquainted with the girl, although he knew her by reputation. lie meant no harm to the young lady, and very likely might have argued that if a girl was willing to sit before the camera in that style she could hardly consistently object to having her photograph displayed along with the row of actresses and ballet girls adorning the young man's pipe-laden shelf. Thoughtlessness and a momentary lack of delicacy on her part, with a want of sensitive honor in the amateur photogra pher, who had given to a friend a copy of the photograph, had together resulted in a situation which might very easily have very serious and unpleasant results. It is bad enough to have to endure all the bad pictures with which indefatigable amateur photographers flood the country; but this matter of violating confidence and of scattering copies of plates which should be regarded as confidential, if they must be taken at all, is one which is a thousand times worse. Young ladies will do well to be on their guard against the cameras of their acquaintances, since there is certainly no other moans of safety so complete as not to have one's picture taken unless in a way that maybe shown to all the world without causing the sitters vexation. As for the photographers, many of them deserve pretty sharp rebukes for the thoughtless ness and the injudicious, , not to say dis honorable, fashion in which they distribute pictures which should never be allowed to go out of their hands. — Boston Courier. __ — -_^^ — — •__ ABOUT STOCKINGS. Their Interesting Origin— Lover* Who Becs'ed Their Ladies' Hair. The first silk stockings made in England were knitted by ; Queen Elizabeth's silk woman. Mistress Montague, who presented her majesty with a pair of black silk ones, which she liked so well that she kept the donor knitting silk stockings as long as she lived. Before the end of her reign stock ings were made of silk, jarnsey. worsted, crewel, or the finest yarn and thread that could be had, and Stubbs remarks that the ladies were "not ashamed to wear hose of all kinds of changeable colors, as green, red, white, russet, tawney and else, what not, cunningly knit and curiously indented in every point with quirks, clocks, open seams, and everything else accordingly." The fashion thus introduced by royalty was soon adopted by the under ranks. The first peer. who .. indulged in silk stockings was that William Herbert, called the "proud Earl of Pembroke.'! Prouder than ever,' we can fancy him in the days of trunk hose, long-waisted doublet and huge ruffs. THE ST. PA"DX. VAJLT GLOSE, STJNDAY MOKNTN'G, AUGUST 29, 188S.^- SIXTEEN ; :FA,am appearing at court in his new and fashion able, knit ■' hose, and .perhaps dancing.^ measure with the '"virgin queen," her head covered with feathers, her feet glittering iii gold aud silver embroidered slippers, wear ing: her black silk stockings as she coquet tishly raised her brocaded skirt and shook her feet in the dance. „•'. , King James 1., it is said, not only wore silk stockings, but, was so fond of them that he lowered his kingly dignity so far as to ask one of his courtiers to lend him a pair. • That was royalty going a begging with a vengeance when we read in a letter still extant of how the king asked fpf the loan of the "scarlet hose with the gold clocks" on one occasion when he desired to give the French ambassador ah : "extraordinary idea of his magnificence." it was a fancy with some lovers of the olden time to have stockings made from their ladies' hair, they desiring, I suppose, to have their feet as well as their hearts to be entangled in the meshes of their mis tfesses' tresses. — Philadelphia Press. A QUEEN OP THE OCEAN. Mrs, Henn, the Brave Wife of the Galatea's Commander. New York Journal. A yachtsman's wife who prefers a cut ter's cabin to the luxury of a hotel or the comforts of a shore residence, has excited the curiosity of many ladies, and all seem anxious to see Mrs. Heiin of the Galatea and give her the warmest kind of a wel come. , ... "Is she pretty?" and "What a jolly time she must have on . the water," were the re marks made by a Larchmont beauty whose brother owns a yacht. Lieut. Menu's wife is a very charming lady, about the medium height, with dark brown hair fringing an oval face of the MRS. HENX. peculiar English type of beauty, and frank eyes that dance with delight when witness in? her favorite sport— a yacht race. Every where about the Galatea's cabin are evi dences of Mrs. Henn's tasteful handiwork, and those who think a cutter's cabin cannot be comfortable because the yacht is narrow, would be agreeably surprised to find the room as large and nearly as high as many a parlor on shore. To show that this lady's love of yacht ing is earnest, her husband said during eight years they travelled 50,000 miles in his yawl Gertrude, never living in a house on shore during that time. Once when Lieat. llenn was in England with his wife and their yacht was in the. Mediterranean laid up, Mrs. Henn proposed that they should lit her out. : 'l haven't time, my dear," said Mr. II en "May I do it?" she asked. "Yes, if you wish,'' he replied. Whereupon she took the crew overland with her, fitted out the yacht and then tel egraphed the lieutenant to come on board and make sail for their cruise. TODDLEIIS IN TASTEFUL. ROBE!). Hats of Scarlet and Bronze->old- Fa«lii«ned i'serlno in Favor. The summer mouths have developed no great change in the fashions for children. The pretty old-fashioned gowns, with puffed sleeves, short full skirts, plain bodice and tucks are still considered most artistic and are so becoming that even a very plain child is apt to look pretty in them. jT - Large hats loaded with feathers or bows of wide rib bon give the fin ishing touch and will probably be replaced in the winter by quaint hoods aud poke bonnets. Silks and wools are beginning to take the place of mulls and lawn?; are made with more tucks and shirrs than the wash dresses. Our cut illustrates one of the newest of these, and a dress imported from llodrigue in Paris, for even children wear imported garments nowa days, it is of rus- set bronze silk, laid in fine side plaits from the shoulder to a distance below the waist, ami is trimmed with soft cream lace and velvet ribbons of a contrasting shade. Only another week of summer remains and the milliners are beginning to display their fall goods for little people. The hats are all in dark shades of brown, maize, blue and crimson and are as large as those worn at present. They are trimmed with bright ribbon and mugs, sometimes with a wheat wreath or a cluster of autumn leaves showing a dozen rich tints. A rich bronze straw in the broad sailor shape with a large scarlet bow and a cluster of scarlet and brown feathers is one of the most tasteful seen. Another more elaborate is a sea green straw of very tine quality, faced with dark green velvet and trimmed with three shades of green velvet twisted in. a roll about the crown and held in front by a large green bird with a scarlet tip to the tail. For school wear are shown some quaint rustic straws in dark shades with bows of. satin ribbon placed directly in front. Small hats for girls under 13 are not to be found, and, of course, are nol so becoming as the large ones. Some handsome woolen goods for every day wear are shown in bright scarlet blue, bronze and in plaids showing many naif tints and are to be made up with ribbons aud velvet bodices. Plain merinoes trimmed with bands of narrow black velvet are to be worn this fall, made with full plain skirts and Italian bodices, over guimps of white merino or silk. Freaks of Fashion. The latest novelty in etainine has chenille fringes. Spanish flounces are among the revivals of the season. Amber beads are employed for edging pan els of the same tint. The trimming of high hats is at the back and droops over the crown. Skirts covered with lace flounces are worn with overdresses of India silk. When the period of deep mourning is over Englishwomen wear gray' gloves. Plastrons of white surah arranged in folds are worn with dresses of striped silk. Green velvet of vivid tint is used to trim dresses of white bison cloth or canvas. Good taste demands that the flowers adorn ing bonnets and hats should be seasonable. Figaro jackets made entirely of steel em broidery are worn with black or gray dresses. Plaited blonse bodices with a deep flonace below the belt are worn with flounced skirts. Black stockings are worn by children as soon as they are short-coated. They should, of course, be of black Bilk. Trimninr specially arranged for plastron, collar, cuffs and skirt, to fashionable last winter, is shown for autumn costumes. Shoes with broad flaps and ornamented with buckles are exceedingly comfortable, and may be worn by persons who cannot wear the ordinary low shoes oa account of taking cold. The flap protects the instep from cold. India Muslins have plain and palm leaf stripes. Call for tbe Rofcina Key West cigar, on sale by all principal dealers. DALLY WITH DANGER Men Who Stand On a Precipice With Their Ejes Eesolutely Shut. A Startling Lesson Learned From Simple Common- Place M or tality Statistics. William 11. Heskethi No. 1812 Fifth Avenue South, Minneapolis. "All right,'* said a bright, ruddy-faced young man, with a very clear voice. He was dressed . as a workingman and stood in front of the new house -which Zim merman, the miller, is building on Sixth ave nue, just above Eighteenth street. He had for a moment laid asidw his carpenter's tools and looked the very -type of. that vigorous, healthy manhood peculiar to the Northwest. "All right," he continued. "Of course. Don't you see I am able to do my day's work with any of them? I don't think I was ever better In my life than lam at just the pres ent time." "I heard that you were in a bad way." "Well. I had to give up work and I was los ing my strength pretty fast: A little over a month ago I was a tolerably decided kiud of an invalid. 1 had had cata rrh for two years and had been entirely UNABLE TO CHECK IT. It came on from a cold and settled in my throat and lungs. My throat got so sore that I could hardly eat anything: at all. My nose was stopped up and I could only breathe through my mouth. I had an almost contin ual pain in my bead. I coughed frequently and was always raising phlegm. I could feel the mucus dropping down the back part of my throat. I went to two or three doctors. One of them tried to clear my throat out with an electric battery. They tried various rem edies on me, but I got worse all the time, and I eot worse fast, too. I became weak and discouraged, my pain was almost unbearable. One morning I .rend in the papers of a case of catarrh which had been pronounced incura ble and which Dr. McCoy had cured. I , WENT TO SEE HIM. He told me that my catarrh had become Chronic, and that it might take three months to cure me. Well, I went under his treat ment. But little over a month has passed, and I have gained my strength and appetite. I have no more cough, no more raising of phlegm, no more pain in my head or lungs, my throat arid nose are perfectly clear and I breathe easily. 1 have no more of that tired, uneasy feeling and I am able to eat as hearty as usual and do as gnod a day's work as any man in town. Id fact. I have been cured completely." Mr Hesketh lives at the address given He has been a resident of Minneapolis for over nine years, has been known as v popu lar salesman in two or three stores and is even better known as a tradesman. His statement can easily be verified. THE 5--J, ii\ TRUTH. A Candid Statement on a ISathcr Delicate Subject. When a pprson with a delicate constitution has a tendency to catarrh or consumption — whether this tendency is inherited or results from taking cold easily — it is noticeable that that person invariably loses flesh and loses strength, showing that the nutrition is inter fered with. ? In such a case the sufferer should at once be placed under influences that will restore the defective nutrition and tend to invigorate the constitution. It is to be remembered that in every case the presence of catarrh is an evidence of predisposition to consumption, and no matter how slight the attack may be, it should be treated with the greatest c ire, and the treat ment should be continued Until all traces of the catarrh have disappeared. If the catarrh is allowed to reach the smaller tubes in the lungs — condition is indi cated by the spitting up of a yellow material — then immediate attention, to the malady is demanded or serious lung trouble will result. Catarrh is nine times out of ten the cause that produces consumption, and hence no one can afford to neglect a case of catarrh, how ever slight. It is easily cured if taken in time and treated regularly and correctly by a specialist. If left to itself it is rarely cured without a change of climate, but with each new cold it gets more and more troublesome, extending always a little deeper into the lungs, until a cure becomes difficult and sometimes impossible. ; In such a climate as this the throat should be as carefully and frequently looked after as the teeth. Yes. much more : carefully at tended to, as troubles of the throat are more numerous than dental troubles: and. while the latter causes only annoyance and pain, consumption— the result of catarrh kills one out of . every seven human beings born on the entire globe. X*ALFAS!I, SIGNS By Which a Presence Undesirable is .itade-Kanwii. When catarrh has existed, in the head and the upper part of the throat lor any length of time— the patient living in a district where people are BUbjecttoeatarrhal affection and the disease has been lefturieured, the catarrh invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes, which tubes couvey the air Into the different parts of the lungs. The tubes become affected from the swelling and the mucus arising from catarrh, and in some instances become plugged up so that the ait cannot get in as freely as it should. ■■ Shortness of breath fol lows and the patient breatnes with labor and difficult}'. The pain which accompanies this condition is of a dull character, felt in the chest, be hind the breast bone or under the shoulder blade: The pain 'may come and — last a few days and then be sent for several others. The cough that occurs in the first Stages of bronchial catarrh is dry. comes oh at intervals, is hacking in character and usually most troublesome in the morning on arising or going to bed at uitrht, and it may be the tirst evidence of the disease extending in the lungs. At first there may be nothing brought up by the cough: then there is a little tough ten acious mucus, which the patient finds great difficulty in bringing up. Sometimes there are fits of coughing in duced by the tough tpucus — so violent as to cause vomiting: Litter on, the mucus that is raised is found to con* tain small particles or yellow mat ter which indicates that the small tubes in the lungs are now affected. With this there are often streaks of blood mixed with me mucus. In some cases small masses of cheesy . sub stance are spit up, which, when pressed be- ! tween the fingers, emit a bad odor. In other ■ cases particles of a hard, chalky nature are : spit up. The raising of cheesy or chalky j lumps indicates serious mischief at work into the lungs. A weak stomach and , a dislike for food, which seems to have lost its taste, causes the patient to think he has a disease of the stom ach instead of the lungs. With these diar rhoea usually occurs, and there is some dis turbance of the ki<laeys. In bronchial ca tarrh the voice often becomes weak, husky and hoarse. There is a burning-pain in the thr oat, with difficulty in swallowing. DOCTOR tiiiii Late of Bellevue Hospital, New York, Has offices at No. 489 Broadway, St. Paul, .
