ON THE QUI VIVE, y-

The frame of mind into which the hired men on the Indianapolis papers have worked themselves over the Incident* connected *witb lust Sunday's bail game i« something fearful to conteuiptate. The only thing with which it can be compared is tbe mental condition of a free trade fanatic when be is engaged In a discussion of tbe evils of the horrl b!e "robber tariff From tbe lurid descriptions In the capital city papers of the events of last Sunday 'one would imagine that Terre Haute ia but a slight remove from the wild western communities with which Owen Wister has made recent magazine readers familiar. But outsiders who read these accounts will be surprised to learn that wild and woolly campaigners do not parade our principal streets at all hours of the day and nlgbt, wearing buckskin outer garments, wide-brimmed sombreros, and higb topped boots, tbeir belts furnishing a temporary stopping place for a small steed arsenal, whloh the raising of an eyebrow or tbe wrinkling of a forehead is likely to bring into immediate and deadly service. Tbe mayor and tbe chief of police do not play poker to see wblcjh of them sball run away with the belle of the off color ball which takes place every Sunday nigbt in the basement of the only church, and we do not fill Indianapolis tenderfeet with anything worse than beer when they come here to see what life it in a real live town—a town that isn't borne earthwards with an overpowering sense of Its own stupendous greatness. It will take some time to correct the impression that

been some foundation for criticism of tbe manner in whicb tbe crowd was bandied last Sunday, we 'bad no road bouse murders here on that day, and no innocent little children were

outraged and murdered and all evidences

of the criminals so effectually destroyed

The Bachelor's club, which has its headquarters In the office of the Terre Haute, aud in tbe easy chairs whicb mske that place so inviting, has received a setback from wbi it is likely never to recover. A year ago one of the moat prominent members of that distinguished club so far forgot bis obligation as a member as to take unto himself a wife. He was looked upon as one of the most Incorrigible members of the organization, and when he forsook bis fellowmembers there

such consternation

as to threaten the very life of the club. In the oourse of time a sweet little baby came to bless tbe life of the ex-bachelor, and since that time there has been such demoralization among the other members as to lead those who are familiar with the facts to believe that tbe club is to be swallowed up In wholesale matrimony. Tbe ex-bachelor, contrary to all rules and precedents displayed by those who have postponed matrimony for a number of years, is as proud of bis baby as a boy is of his first pair of red top boots. He wheels the little one past tbe bote! at all hours of the day and night, with tbe evident intention of "nagging" bis former companions with their poverty in the way of priceless possessions. Not only that, but every time be gets a chance he waylays one of them and insists npou showing the baby—"tbe greatest on earth, -of course—In all of its beauty, and always winds up with tbe declaration, "Old boy, you don't know what life is until you get one of these." His evident sincerity has had such an effect upon his former associates that It will not be surprising to learn that the club has been formally disbanded, and that all tbe former members are looking around for some bright sweet girls—of whom we have countless numbers—who will agree to smtle upon them for the balance of life, and therefore make it endurable for them.

The council meeting of last Tuesday night did not develop any sensation as was expected, tbe regular business be transacted as peacefully as if there had never been any olwh between the opp lng factious. For tbe benefit of all concerned, and for the good of the taxpayers, it is to be hoped that there will be no further friction, and thai the busi* uew** will be allowed to proceed as if nothing had happened.

A black cloth suit is novel and handsome, and tbe skirt is original if it sbows some attempt at draping—very slight, it is true, but conspicuous because of its novelty.

Tbe new skirts are not especially heavy. They are interlined with hair cloth for several inches, and some of them have a light, flexible wire inserted in tbe hem.

A low-cut satin baby waist is covered with a second full waist of cream chiffon, tbe bodice fastening at the back, shaped square in tbe neck, and finished with pearl and gold gimp.

A striking gown is of a smooth-faced ten cloth combined with a striped silk, the silk having a wide black stripe alternating with one showing a Dresden pat tern on a pale-blue ground.

with merry children, to tbe large landau from whiob some dowager looks out upon the world with an air of supreme dignity. There are pretty girls and ugly girls well-dressed girIsland ill-dressed, but the pretty girls are in the majority, and good dressing is rather the rule than tbe exception. The daughter of a millionaire is wearing a white Jpgandie with tiny green leaves on it, and trimmings of green ribbon, and in harmony she wears a bat of while chip trimmed with green, and oarrles a white chiffon parasol. Aud the woman who doesn't know, says: "Isn't it sweet and simple?" Certainly it is sweet, certainly It Is simple In effect but if you could see the bill sent in by the French modiste, you would understand, that one pays for simplicity. The lovely thin material, so Inexpensive, is made up over silk, and! the dainty ribbons show, if you examine them closely, tbe same figure that is on the material, add this proves that they were specially woven for this gown. And the innocent young man imagines that

IT COST VERY LITTLE,

because it is nothing but a cotton froots, and yet, without the duty, there watf tffo hundred and t*jonty-flve dollars paid for it. So much for simplicity.

One Is foroed to notioe as the carriages go by with tbeir burdens of womankind growing evil, and that is the use of paint. For some time it has been very common in England, the reason for its existence being that Her Imperial Sweetness, the Princess of Wales, not being as young as she was, finds that she must employ art if she wishes to retain her good Jooks. It is a well known fact in London that the horrible mop of hair to which she so persistently clings, is a wig, and that all the young pnbeesses please her best by arranging their own natural locks after this horrible coiflure. It is whispered that she possesses fifty wigs, and that each takes its turn. A complexion must be adapted to a wig. As the leader of fashion in London uses( paint, all her set do, and the frndeslraljle habit is certainly growing here. You need only watch the carriages as they

woman learned to paint whether it was in Paris or London. The English woman is perfectly frank in her use of the the red saucer. She puts a dab of tbe color on each cheek bone and another on her chin, and not a human being is de ceived, for it announces itself as the pink of pinkest. The French woman puts a little on her cheek below the bone and tones it with powder. Then there is some added on the tip of the chin, on tbe lobe of each ear, and just inside each nostril. I cannot understand why this is done, for the impression is given that the painted one has a sore nose, and this certainly is not pretty.

DIRECTIONS FOR "MAKING-UP." A young woman who failed as an artist is a success here teaching the swell set how to make up, and the consequence is the American woman who is studying under her puts on tbe red and white, and black and the blue, decidedly better than does her sister who has learned to do it, either in London or Paris. When this young woman arrives she first insists upon a large bowl of hot water. With this she bathes the face of her patient, for that ig what she calls her customer. The water is hot, not tepid, and sbe uses for tbe bathing a soft linen rag. Tbe skin is then dried with a damask towel, and then a few minutes is allowed to rest, during which time It is said the skin gets tight. Next, with another linen cloth, on which has been poured a mixture of glycerine and rose water, the face is. wiped off then with a ohamois a fine powder is evenly applied. After this, the crayon pencil, which has been softened in the gas, accentrates the eyebrows, and is used to draw a line on the eyelids Just above the lashes. If, by any obanoe, this Is too heavy, the worker removes it with a bit of tissue paper. An oval shape is given to round eyes by a touch with the blue pencil on the outer corner. Now oomes the rouge. A linen elotb Is used, and it is put on the cheeks and tbe chin, powder being blended with it to give a more or less natural effect. If liquid rouge is fancied, it Is applied with a sponge, and puton before the powder, and what is known as hard powder is used in combination with it The liquid rouge is a deeper red, and will stay on longer. A rather weird ef* feet is obtained by one young woman, who likes to look odd, giving to her face a coat of white powder, laid on thick, and then applying liquid rough simply to the nostrils. Tbe result ia really corpse-like and yet there are women who persist in doing it, and wh^convince one that after all there are three sexes—men, women and hags. The use of so much red on the face necessitate* the reddening of the lips, and for this tbe liquid is used. It ia quite safe as long as one adhere* to cold drink*, but it will come off tbe very minute anything hot is taken. Our girls are look

pass to be certain of it, aud, Witfhta little ibofugbty-yo oa ntellexttofclytwkeret-eecii ^erry* appeared a ^{j^laborgte^^pper one night in a mussy black crape bonnet with 1 A STRINGY GREEN FEATHER in front of it, very much to the horror of the other women present.

Iff

MILLINERY.

UfAa the carriages roll by, the bats worn ty the women look like movable flower gardens, for they are burdened with huge imitations of the blossoms of tbe ||$ld, the garden and the conservatory. Fprn orchids to buttercups, from roses W daisies, every flower is seen. One pretty woman who effects violetsfor ber g&wns, violets for ber perfume and violets for her flowers, is a moving violet Ibis afternoon. Her gown Is a violet ctepe the cape about ber shoulders is fprrned of ruffles of cream colored lace, alternating with frills made of bunches pl violets, while her hat, a huge white {Obip one, has bunches of violets on tbe Imtside of the brim, under tbe brim a *great bunch of violet leaves stands' higb qp at tbe back of the cbapeau. Her parasol matches her cape, and lying at ber feet on tbe floor of tbe victoria are {^numerable bunches of natural violets, .which look as if tbey bad been thrown there, so that she might walk upon tbeir sweetness.

Speaking of parasols, I do not think they were ever more beautiful tbau tbey Are now, and as they come in with gloves and sweets for proper betting, mankind appreciates exactly bow costly tbey are. Beautiful white chiffon parasols have ivory bandies, tipped with !drystal balls, and loQk modest but cost— T^ell, they might just as w'ell be studded frith diamonds as far as cost goes. To have tbe oape and paraelbl match is the lanoy. A parasol that bore tbe stamp of paris Was of blaok chiffon over pale lav ender with a stick of ebony tipped with obina vjfolets, tbe flowers, their leaves and stems being perfectly, brought out.

Tbe cape that went with this was of black lace wjth a black lace capuchin hood lined with violet. The enormous lar&e bats are all right for carriage wear on almost any woman, but when a woman walks sbe must remember that a certain height is required before a large bat can be assumed unless one wishes to look as if one were extinguished,

Women are too prone to simply Suit "3beir hats to tbeir heads and not to their entire figures. Sarah Bernhardt and ""Ellen Terry and the tall women that Du lg.aurier draws can ail wear huge hats at «tny time, and yet off tbe stage Ellen

Whom the vogue given to large bats may be credited, was oftenest seen when last here in a very dilapidated looking poke, which bad nothing to recommend it exoept that it wasn't conspicuous. Speaking of things being conspicuous, when will women learn that unless they have feet like Cinderella they ought not to wear white shoes? They are not pretty, they give the foot a shapeless look, and they invariably make It appear two sizes larger than it is. A black velvet slipper Is smart, but it also mu»t only be worn by tbe woman with a slender foot. The black satin and the black patent leather slipper may be worn by any one. She whose foot is short should choose a slipper at least one size too long, and, If she is wise, she will elect that it shall be two, for then the point may be stuffed with oottou and the long, narrow effect counted aristocratic will be hers. Tiny buckles of rhinestonea or steel are In better form than large rosettes, unless, indeed, one's instep should be very low, and then the full rosette is chosen to increase, apparently, Its height.

Bye-1he-bye, even here, there are mistakes made in traps. Once in a while, one absolutely sees cockades worn by the men on the box! This is a great mistake, unless tbe owner of the trap belong* to tbe army or navy,, and then, of course, they are proper. A few minute* ago there passed u* a victoria that was correct in every respect bat one the men had their storm coat* folded and laid under them. Why was this wrong? If a storm should come up, tbe lady o! the carriage would not be protected from it, so why should her servant bp cared for?

DRBSS YOtJB GROOM UK1 Ht* MASTKR. The only carriage on whloh 111* good form to display tbe coats of the men is the large landau, which, in case of a shower, cats be so closed that the ladle* are perfectly safe. Then, too, every now and then one sees, to her horror, a coach man whose faee is not smooth, and before anything else It must be remembered tbat men servant* should suggest absolute cleanliness. A smart hansom I* ruined by having its driver in livery. From a London standpoint, this I* wrong, Tbe driver of a hansom should be dressed almost exactly like his master that ft, dark-trouser*, dark waistcoat, standing collar and four-in-band tied himself, and a coat tbat Ia between a cutaway and a box, dark, of oourse bis bat, in the morning, should be a brown derby, In tbe afternoon an immaculate silk one, and bis gloves should be heavy tan kid ones, closing with two large buttons. This Is

hansom of tbe Princeof Wales. A livery is counted very bad form for tbe man who is on but not in the hansom.

Tbe fancy for perfumes is increasing, and each pretty woman elects a special one of her own, and has ber belongings so saturated with it tbpt, if you pick up her fan, or her handkerchief, you know exaotly to whom it belongs. Violet, whiob has been a favorite for such a long time, has given away to tbat odd odor, neroii, wbica requires to be greatly diluted before it cau be used. To me, it always suggests a mummy, though I am sure'I don't know why still it is very odd. Edelweiss is delicate and many choose it. and jasmine is liked. Opoponax is strong,, but it has its admirers, though they don't fancy being told tbat it is tbe

EXTRACT OF THE PIG*8 TAIL.

which is the Frenchman's explanation of it. Perfume Is used in tbe smart set by pouring quantities of it on those belongings that will permit it, and HO soaking it in. Personally, I have always thought that a great quantity of p^rfum» was vulgar, and I sympathize with tbe darkey mammy who says, "Little white ladies is so sweet anyway, or ought to be, tbat tbe only sweet smell tbey needs I* tbat guv by a pretty temper.''

All tbe follies and fads of fashion are here, and tbe women of the smart set are continually seeking fur something new in gowns, in fans, in parasols, in shoes, in perfumes or in any of tbe thousand things that go to make up a toilette. It Isn't a particularly great ambition, this continual seeking after something to add to their personal appearance, but after all there might be a worse one. LIVE UP TO THESE "OUGHT8" AND YOU

Women ought to look pretty. It is their duty in life—part of It. Men ought to be brave, women ought to be beautiful.

Men ought to be strong, women ougb to be tender. Men ought to govern by the brain, women ought to govern by tbe heart.

Men ought to earn money, women ought to spend it. Men ought to love women and women ought to submit to it.

Men ought to be obaritable, women ought to be sympathetic. Each should be what the other Isn't, and so make perfection.
