tlmo when the young people of the
country hastened to pair themselves
with blrdllko oagornosa and delight as
BOOH us they wore out of school ; and
society not only encouraged them , but
prautically commanded them to take
Unit course. They wore considered
Buporfluous and burdonsoino until they
si1 got married. The true work of life
| i ! could not begin with tliom , they wore
taught , BO long aa they remained single ;
it was their duty to become yoked with
out unnecessary delay , and it wna a dU-
grace to miss'reasonable opportunities
In that rotation. Hut It is dooldudly
dllToront at the present day. The
practice of wedlock la no
longer imperative , nor docs dis
credit attend the unmated stale ,
even when prolonged into the thirties.
There is as much advice given against
marrinuo as in favor of it by the wise
mid experienced of both sexes , and the
result is n steady decrease in the pro
portion of actual weddings to possible
ones.
ones.Tho causes which have produced this
marked change are not sulllclontly dolln-
ito for satisfactory analysis. It Is pro
bably true that our extravagant style of
living , us compared with that of former
tunes , is ono of the effective influences , '
The cost of supporting.ii wife und rais
ing n family is much larger than it used
t6 bo , and this feature of the matter
often gives pause on both sides. There
is no reason as yet , however , to lament
the prevailing tendency as a national
misfortune. The amount of marrying is
Btill largo enough for all ordinary pur
poses ; and it inny bo that loss rather
than moro of it would best promote the
Interests of society. Such unions should
bo formed with seine other object than
that of merely propagating the species.
They involve' the most serious oblicra-
tioni and responsibilities of human llfo.
and if people are learning to be slow and
careful about makinir contracts of so
much importance it is hardly a sign of
decay or n throat of calamity.
. A writer in the Philadelphia Times
throws omo light on the cost of a wife
wliich. will interest these contemplating
matrimony. "As. a rule the man Who
contemplates marriage must expect to
buy her a hat for ouch season. , and if she
1ms a. nianla for mjllino'ry , as' BO many
women have , there will bo many a one
coaxed or cajoled from him in between
times. ' Fall and spring aha will want
Jive or six now crowns , with their trim
mings and their making to bo paid for
us well as the cost of the material , at
least twocoals a year , ono a sealskin if
ho can afford it , for women have a weak
ness for the dark silky fur ; shoos , ' stock-
ins , lingerie , gloves , ruehings , veils ,
parasol ? and stick pins as often as she
coos by the shops , and any other trillcs
In the jewelry line that ho or she can
mannge to buy. Now this sounds like
positive luxury , but it is no moro than
the most ordinary feminine lio'irt do-
lircs , though in different casoa the expense -
ponso of a woman's wardrobe is increased
or lesboned by the price she pays
/or / the various articles that go to make
up its entirety. The resume , howovoi1 ,
IB about correct , therefore if a man is
{ rightonod by such an array let him
think twice before proposing to any irirl
on an income of less than a couple of
thousand n.year. Pvory day ono sees
irticlcs on how a woman can dross on
luch tiny sums that the impecunious
lover's heart leaps with joy , but there
is always a flaw somewhere. The
ichomo won't work and the fond imagin

Into very aad and practical realities

It la a question , that depends a good
Aeal upon the point uf view , whether
consideration for women in public places
bo not vanishing as a characteristic uf
Amoi-Iuan men. There are these who
lusldt that it is not , pays a writer in
Bcribnor'H , but we ( ear that thulr point
of view is not that of the pabsengor in
thu conveyances or on the streets of our
largo cities. To one who is daily forced
to observation in this extensive Hold
there la little chance for doubt. It is
not that women do not receive the
prompt and unfailing courtesy that was
formerly accorded to them , but they are
treated with a cool and Impudent rude
ness , with a luck not merely of gentle-
nosj. but uf respect , that I believe
would have boon ( mpossible to our
fntliurd , They are not only allowed to
itaiid In public vehicles when men are
Boated , but they are subjected , In ways

not to jiut too Jlnou point on itto insult.
Jt In oiHlor and aufur to speculate
on llm auunt of tlilM Humiliating chungo
tlmn inlij'J / , und upjily. a remedy , The
yriiat liH'ftittoK In Hiy proportion of pur-
IVUN ul lurviitii l > rlj ) or Joiwtit und of
the uneducated" classes has something
to do with it. The Immensely greater
volume ot humanitv in motion on public
thoroughfare's and * on the pnssongor
lines , and the corresponding creator
dillicillty in enforcing the standard of
conduct hold by the minority , is another
cnuso. The faot tlmt the buhavior ol

agreeable faot remains.

At first , blush the insurance busi
ness would Boom to offer ngood opening
to enterprising women ns ngonts or can
vassers , writes Walter II. Barrott in the
September Ladles' Homo Journal. The
commissions paid nro undoubtedly much
more * remunerative tlmn the outcome of
mnny othorocoupations to which women
devote themselves , and the worlc \ not
of an unsuitable character. It cortnlnly
is no wor-bo than book canvassing and
thu securing of a single 310,000 policy
would bring better returns than could bo
possibly expected from several weeks'
persistency in that lino. The oxpsrl-
mnnt has boon tried in the industrial de
partment , but there conditions nro by
no means the same as in general Insur
ance worlc. In the largo cities the worlc
of the industrial companies , by its
character , is naturally largely confined
to the tenement house districts , and the
climbing of stairs requires moro physi
cal back bon o than most women possess.
Again , the field bus to bo gone ever
every woolc , for the cnnvassors are also
the collectors , so the labor is practically
unending. In the smaller cities nnd
towns where the working clnosos hnvo
their homes in cottages or ovory-day
houses , this great obstacle to the
entrance of women to the flold is not
presented , nnd many have been nblo to
innlro very fair compensation. It is
found that a sensible woman , when face
to face with a struggling sister , can
bring homo the truths about llfo insur
ance much moro forcibly tlmn the
average cola-blooded man.
The secret of fascination is ono which
many n woman would sacrifice a great
deal to learn. To cultivate n charming
and uttractlvo manner one must begin
nt home , nnd surely n bettor school
could not bo devised , for the training is ,
in its way , perfection. Here you are
sure to find each day little rubs which
must bq smoothed with skilf.il touch ;
there is a constant mind friction going
on amoiiff even tlio most devoted mem
bers of the household. It is n painful
fnct , though none the less true , that
one's family acts as a constant counter-
irritant. Now a steady effort to smooth
ever the rough places , minister to
wounded hearts and with deft touches
araso unpleasant memories is called
for , and the woman who obeys the sum
mons is prolty sure to find herself fully
able to cope in the most agreeable fash
ion with the outside world. Pow women ,
however , realize that a fascination of
manner is not born but cultivated. It
begins to bud in tlio nursery , develops
under thu skilful training of pninstaiting
instructors and blossoms forth into com
plete beauty in the society of well bred
women.

It was the prettiest little nest of a
room , with ono window that opened
straight toward the sunrise and ono all
cool and shudy with maple boughs ,
There wpro all manner of pretty little
fomlnimitios scattered aboutbut our at
tention was engrossed by a box of candy
and a photograph of a very roguish
young gentleman , says Dorothy Doano
in the Chicago News.
"And then , " continued Primrose , hid
ing her face on my ( moulder , "he he
kissed mol"
' Just as any sensible mad would , " I
remarked.
' Mamma never lots me accept pres
ents from gentlemen"she said'thatis ; ,
anything substantial , you know. Flow
ers or candy or fruit of course that's
different ; they're what I call perishable
goods. But books or jewelry , things of
that kind what I called staple goods
she never allows mo to accept. "
' And a kiss you classed amonsj the
perishables , I suppose , to bo kept ? "
"No , " said Primrose demurely ,
"among the staples. I returned it. "

An original outdoor luncheon was
privon the other day at a chateau not far
from Paris. The 'sixteen truosts wore
seated at four willow tables the tops of
which represented an open fan. Over
the tables wore fan shaped canopies of
colored silk. The menu was written on
small paper fans , the stick being of en
amel and tied with ribbons. Blue was
used at the forget-me-not table , pink at
the rosebud , green at the fern an'd
white at the daisy table. The' inui-
vidual ices were served in the form of
small palm-leaf fans ; the favors wore
silk surprise fans , the bandies of each
containing , a bouvoulr. The gay colors
of the odd-shaped tables resting upon
the smooth , grassy lawn made an effec
tive picture.

The young woman who cherishes a
perverse inclination to ride in the rain
and yet shrinks from ruining her habit
may take heart. Accommodating Lon
don haberdashers have diagnosed her
case and found a remedy in a little
waterproof riding coat. It is made wither
or without a capo and is worn In con
junction with a waterproof riding apron ,
the advantages of which women have
already pretty thoroughly tested. The
coat is a smart arrangement , Is gener
ally becoming , and defies the most driv
ing shower that over sought to make
a young horsewoman's ' life a misery to
her.
Exceeding quaint and ancient in effect
are the moussollnu delaines and organ
dies in which my lady takes her walks
abroad on warm and sunny days , and
which , until recently , would have been
rolcgatou to the private apartment or
the twilight and informality of the tea
room. These dresses are made up ever
a princess slip of nllk the shade of the
flowers in the material , and belted about
beneath the bust with sashes of velvet
or satin ribbon , which tie in front in
broad , fiat bows , and again at the baclt
in a rosette bow with long ends.

Bayadere stripes are numerous among
the now goods. A very rich line which
resembles uncut velvet , but has no silk ,

beautiful. ,
It is said that bl aok velvet' ' ia to bo
worn for dinner dresses by young ladies
in the coming season. This is certainly
an innovation , for hitherto its stately
becomingness has been reserved for
portly matrons.
Fine light wool costumes for summer
journeys are made with bell skirt 'and
low peasant w&ist of the goods , nlain.
striped or checked , that roaches just

of wash silk , which is always cool and
comfortable.
Tea gowns to be a la mode must hang
in the softest indescribable folds ; they
are made in crape and cronon. Those
who have old lace scarfs can turn them
to the best account , for they are folded
on the bodice back and front , the ends
floating ever the skirt.
Yokes and trimmings to imitatoyokos
are the favorites for cloth and silk cos
tumes. The style that has boon gener

waist , back and front of lace and a very
full and deep ruffle bordering the lace
yoke. It is very becoming.
In wearing a veil with a round hat the
soft , full folds of the tulle or not must bo

The manufacturers are again making

white and colored piques are exhibited.
The material is of lighter quality than

now fancies.
In hosiery there are endless novoltioa
prop.irod for the coming season , ono of
the most original being a back ground ,
spangled with delicate spots embroidered
in colors , with gilt designs worked in.
The gold Is not , as might bo supposed ,
stiff and "scratchy , " but is as supple as
the silk and stands washing equally

Among the styles for cool-weather
wraps Is the model which shows a short
frout with wldo rovers , much like the
very popular Eton jacket of the sum
mer , but instead of the aho'rt , unseamed
back which does not roach the waist
line , there are long Dlrcctoiro coit-tails
that fall to the skirt-hem.
Ribbons are to bo much used for dross
trimming still and Ottoman ribbon ,
which has been completely cut for a

the now designs in ribbons are bayadoro

stripes with a wavy odiro , Persian
