My Lady's Satchel.

By T;K

•I am studying very seriously the j nineteenth century. I don's mean i Macke; zie's 'nineteenth Century,' (though that is <»ell worth study too), but, the Century which has jast elapsed ! Am making researches con cerning the improvements which Imvo been consummated daring thf» period, I need not enumerate them ; you know them all, no doubt; bot, daring my explorations into- all sorts and condi tions of books, and memories of people, I hnve been struck by the number of things left unimproved, very obvious things too, some of them remitked bj persons of much more weight—oven in your opinion—than your Lady friend. Have you heard of that intelligent child who, when asked • Johnny what is the chief end of man?' replied, • Please ma'am his head.' •Oh S no my dear child, think again.' 'Please ma'am his feet V Be sure to notice . the first well dressed man you see and remark in what misery he leaves his head and feet. Few things connected with human belnga have been left so unimproved century after century, as their hats and boots. They are jusfc au unsightly, and uncomfortable, and injurious today, as they were this day three hundred ye*rs ago and— more so. The seat of Fashion's government mu3fe be, of course. Paris, ■o ladies living in St Petersburg and Calcutta and Rio Janeiro and Stock holm, and Ohristchurch, New Zealand, must conform to the same mode in every article of dress. A little liberty of choice in material is permitted, bat dare to defy the standard of its s make' and see what would feappen One'trembles at the very idea ! I need not dilate upon the elegance and per fect comfort of the time-honoured structure a man wedgea his head into on Sunday, because I know you can never be persuaded to wear one; by the-way, a bird-of-the-air told me ODce upon a time of the only occasion upon which you did attempt to wear one, I enjoyed the etory very much, it was funny. No wonder you have never tried again. All mankind unite in saying they detest them and yet—they survive, Lock at women's hats and bonnets. In summer and winter we wear what might be protection enough in Sydney or Maples, something— 1 a sweet little confection in tulle and satia '—that covers insufficiently the top of the head, leaving the sensitive back of the head exposed to the frosty winds of winter, and to the burmug sun in Bunimer. Then, if a woman wears a high collar to her jacket or mantle the gap between this and her hat or bonnet is intense ly cold, and yet, she wonders if she suffers from neuralgia, or ear~oche, or headache, and seeks for remedies in taking drugs ! In summer, the head— especially if it isn't simply—-should be lightly covered ; take a fashionable velvet turban into yonr hand, it must Weigh a quarter t£ a Ib or there abou's. It would bo a boon indeed to our sex, if our charming Princess May would tako it into her pretty head to wear a hood in winter. A hood ! I fancy I can hear the feminine chorus of indignation and 'disapprobation". But, I can assure thrm a ho';d need not be dowdy at all, it c*n bo a most bewitching head-piece. Tarn euro plain women—if there are any— need not object to ifc, ifs shade and pro tection is merciful indeed AuJ as to the handsome and tho pretty ones, every one knows the enhancement a hord lends to a beautiful face and head. Yep, I vote for a hood in cold weather, for tunately our winter is nearly over, and only at night would ii be 'go lovely' to don a hood. During summer, in the hottest weather, we should be allowed to go out l;ke the Fpanish ladies with a lace mantilla—just to keep our hair in order—and our parasol. Why must wo bo compel el to carry against wind and eommoQ sensp, a quarter acre section of plaited straw, piled up with feather and flowers and bows and buckles fastened on to the victims head with deadly skewers if only the heads were a little softer, and those javelin pins could be run through them, instead of into a few wfaisps of hair in the present agonizing fashion, it might not ba so unbearable as at present. For a rea sonable summer hat for maid or man commend we to the much used Sailor but—Why ? oh why is it a lacquired up 6o euoh a degree that a tin hat would be equally cosy f a sailor hat in a good soft straw ficely lined and fitting nicely is the best thing in hats I have had the chance to test I am wanting aiiofe to go and live in Bio Janeiro that I may acquire the grace, which they say is requisite in order to wear the mantilla becomingly, then 1 would re turn to. New Zealand, and sst the fashion, or better sill, persuade an impecunioia Donna Inez to return with me, and open classes for instroct— ing young ladies in the art of wearing the mantilla a'i'eapagnole. Of a bon-1 net with strings tied under the chin only try to imagine it, you happy man, used all your life to hats and caps—l cannot say much, I have not patronized them yet—l can see how wretched they mak« the wearer, so put off the* evil moment as long as possible. I began by thinking painfully of nay new boots, they look frightful, and feel all they look, but my time baa rushed away I must conclude. I will en deavour to tell you next maiij what our old grandfather's doctor wrote about boots in his day, and still there i,a no improvement I Yet, I live in hope of witnessing s, great reformation in boots,

DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months I have been completely "ran down, suffering* from Nervous Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. My condition waa such I was quite unable to get about, or to do anything at all. When I heard of the great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of Pianteeoa. I procured a bottle, using It as directed, and the result was as gratifying aa it was astonishing. I became quite well again, and able to get about as usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make whafc you like of them. Years truly, Mus J. Row. P.S.—I can also recommend Planeekqa as a good medicine for tha blood and strengthening the system Kaiwarra, February 21st 1901 Dear Sir, —Several months ago I had a very severe attack of inflaenzi, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wrists and ankles were much swollen, and very painful. Several things I tried without effect. A friend advised me to giva Plantekca a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had fin'shed the second bottle I was thoroughlycared. and I may say I have felt no return whatever- I should like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal* ing; but when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., ib is the very best and safest remedy, and is one of those thing mo home is complete without. Yours sincerely, Mks Wainright The Proprietor of Plantekoa Remedies receives fresh testimony ev9ry day from sufferers who have been cured by their use. For chilblains and chapped hands use the mighty healer, Plantekoa Olnt menb.
