Judge Wolf holds that Mrs. Fraissainet was a servant and not Parker's wife THE AMERICAN CIRL Triio Type Shown a Pretty Woman Attractively Dreaaed. The real typical American girl is cot a society girl. Portraits typifying lier ns such are untrue. She has her social diversions; she has her parties and picnics and her social merry-go-round of pleasure, but they are not her life, they are mere incidents of her life, for her life is work. Of course, there are girls who have nothing to do but to amuse themselves year in and year out. Pictures of these girls, with their kind, in festive gear, in full dress, in golf-clothes and in yachting rigs are doubtless typical of the class. But the entire class does not number one hundred thousand among seventy million people, and members of this leisure class are merely flics on the wheel. Typical Americans must be drawn in their working-clothes if the drawings represent the type. So the typical American girl will not be found in her party dress, though she wears it becomingly and with real grace when the occasion demands, but rather she will he found in her working-clothes. In her working-clothes?be they of the kitchen, the factory, the shop, the office, the housenold or the school-room? * - Crt/I iti+nrwlorl her to | sue is as rtai as uuu be. But mark you, even then the chief point about her is that she knows how to wear her frocks, knows how to dress tastefully at a small expenditure, and that whatever her work, she is at pains and is ambitious to make herself look well. And she succeeds. Whatever her station, you will be pretty sure to find a girl worth looking at. The true type of the American girl will always show a pretty, young woman attractively dressed. The typicaL American girl, then, is one who is charming and good-looking, who lives in the spirit of fraternity and who works for a living. But In this connection the word "living" does not mean "board and keep." It means itrtrn* in the broadest sense of the "' "O ? word?growing, aspiring, becoming. The American girl who works with her hands does so only that she may rise to better condition of soul and mind and heart. It is not the bread-and-butter problem that is making a wageearner of the American girl. Fathers and brothers can take care of that. It is the soul problem?how to live; how to get all the best out of civilization; how to grow in grace. Young men are not the only beings who shall "see visions." The American girl also sees visions, and she is fired with an ambition as resistless as her brother's.? William Allen White, in the Woman's Home Companion. Acceosories For tlie Fashionable Gown. High, curved belts require the deep buckles now so much worn in the Jeweled and enamel work. Stiff little bows with tiny buckles and rosettes with a jeweled button centre are among the novelties for trimming coats and bodices. The latest fashionable embroideries are Persian and Chinese. The rage for lace continues. Yak lace, made of fine wool in all the new shades, is much used, as arc Tcneriffe, .Spanish silk lace, Mexican. Cluny and antique laces of all descriptions. All kinds of laces are worn together, and black and white or coffee color and white lace are used to trim the same gown. Filet lace Is also called upon to do service on our summer gowns. Cloth is used in all sorts of curious ways. Fir instance, lace, grenadine, and the lightest fabrics are strapped with cloth. It is also used for underskirts; and embroidered cloth blouses nw n noveltv. Foundations are made separate from the skirts, and a skeleton silk bodice is needed for slip blouses, inasmuch as many of our bodices have become slip blouses in themselves. The deep collars in lawn cr lace are as fashionable as ever, and they are likely to remain so. Host of the loose boleros have square or yoke collars, which finish off in long stole cuds. The Russian blouse is still very popular; it has only altered in its mode of trimming. Ornaments dangle from either side, suspended by the miniature stole ends. Petticoats are extravagantly gotten j tip. The idea is to keep them flat at j the top and fussy at the bottom. The j top is sometimes composed of a latticework of ribbon, and the rest of the petticoat bristles with frills and flounces. From beneath the knee, petticoats are considerably more flounced than last year'* models; the trimmings are varied and original. There is quite a craze for black and white, and an endless variety of models are in fancy j cotton, organdie and batiste.?Amerlcan Queen. Brauty and Amiability. Despite some opinions to the con-' trary. it is apparent to observant eyes that many girls who are possessed of a good share of physical charm do not exhibit that amiability and kindliness of spirit which are qualities possessed by the plainer girl. There is a certain amount cf prific, verging on haughtiness, which, in the j beauty, seems to be an obstacle to affability. They rely on their good looks for their success with women as well as with men, and they do not take It in.o consideration that anything more is expected of them than to look pretty and charm the eye, writes Mrs. M. L. Bean, in American Queen. They are also apt to assume an attitude of condescension toward others?and\dl on the strength of their superior looks. The. plain girl, knowing that she has j ' $ no personal beauty to depend upo? Ar popularity, cultivates an amiable a?l, J affable nature, thus appealing to otb0m in a more real and permanent wsf. Beauty is truly but skin deep, but * ' *' beautiful nature will, in tbe long run, win more friends?true, lasting friends ?than all the flashing eyes and pearly; teeth In the world. I Iu justice to pretty girls, jiowcve^ It cannot be denied that there are som* , as amiable as they are pretty, but till* is not the rule, by any means. There are others who are really amiable, but who make no effort to exhibit the factj except on eerlaln occasions. These girls put themselves in a false light and cause others to believe, them lacking In a quality which they?the beautiew ?do not think it worth while to ex* hibit. 1 In order to be popular and bdored* ,, a girl should exhibit her natural a(Et~ bility to the opposite sex at all times. A man will, in time, tire of mere good looks and will realize In the merely; pretty the lack o'f something deeper and more lasting. These qualities tb* plainer girl posseses to her own more permanent popularity. The Shirt lVslit Jacket. . 3 Have you heard about the shirt waist jacket? It is to be worn cool days over the more filmy shirt waists, aa?L is made to show us much of the shirt ' waist as possible. Tbe sleeves end just below the eibow, and in front tbo jacket is cut very low and finished with long revers. A smart-looking shirt waist is made of scarlet silk fian^ nel, with black moire revers and cAff* for the elbow sleeves. The back of the : 3 little coat is tight fitting; in tbe froot there is a slight blouse, which is draws, into tbe waist by a narrow black moire belt. Below the Melt tbe silk flannel extends in the shape of a narrow joke over tbe hips, with two tab-shaped pieces in front. This little yoke-portion is finished with rows of Mick silk stitching. The shirt waist garr ment is also charming made op In more; delicate shades of silk flannel or eg&t weight cloth, and worn over an eft white waist.
