Within n month changes much Hko the panic of stagecoach will have taken place In Washington. The doslrablo furnished houses that have always had olHtlal tenants will have changed oc- ctipanti all around , and an entirely now not of faecs will bo Been at the White lioino and the departments. DllTcrent liaim s will lo | uppermost in conversation , and differentpcnplu , feul how pleasant It In to ] lvo for one's country in high places , bitlety's carriages will stand l > e- fora other doorways , and other vestibules will hold whirling BIIOW storms of the tissue paper Hakes dropped from the countless visiting cards. The appointment of Judge Gresham as secretary of state , says Harper's Bazar , does not promise partic ularly gay winters to tlio diplomatic cjrps and their immediate sot thereby. While a member of President Arthur's cabinet the Gresham family cared little for the pleasures and treadmill of society. Airs. Gresham'sdelicate health was a bar to her undertaking anything beyond the necessary routine of after noons at home and the young people of the family were by no means dazzled with Washington's gaycties. As the cabinet circle is expected to bo led by and take its tone from the family of the secretary of state , there is as much surmise as to the social leadership in the immediate administration circle , tlio .successor of Mrs. Whitney , as if the occtlpant of that first olllco had not been named. The wisest forecasters believe that the scepter of social power during the next four years will be wielded by Mrs , Brice. During this winter their house has Iwen the first establishment socially among those of their political faith. Tin Ir hospitality has not by any menus been so crude as to bo limited to tho-.o of the same political creed , and their series of dinners has gathered all that was best and most emi nent in the broad social life of the capi tal. Unless the now cabinet contains some social light and genius heretofore tmmentioned , the family of the Ohio sen ator will plainly lead. Their ambition to do so is evident , and their campaigns of these two seasons show social genius of the first order , and methods that can not fail to secure their end. Mrs. Brice is alreadv here and lias her homo estab lished. The now cabinet families can do nothing before next winter , and time only strengthens a good leader's hold. The maidens of Vienna have started a spinster club , with the object , ns they avow , of bringing about the speedy and happy marriage of its members. Bach elors of guaranteed respectability desir ous of wcd < ml bliss are to be registered , introduced to available parties , and a record will bo kept of the various ex- I collent qualifications of mutual mem bers of both sexes. All of 'which I * about as Utopian and prac- I tlcal as an association of spln- [ etors would arrange it. In the lirst r place , says the Now York Sun , only the i most utterly abject of maids , unwed , as [ i forlorn as a rubber shoo run down at the I heel , as devoid of hope and promise as a I republican postmaster , would over con- I Bent to bo enrolled among the members I of this bocioty with the laudable aim. I And after they have organized what are I they goitur to do about it ? How will the I blind lead tlio blind ? How Is ono spin- I Btor to tell another how to bring Barkis I to the proper state of willingness ? A 10-year-old girl in her bridal veil , with K the bright now ring under her wedding glove , knows more about the philosophy of getting a husband than the whole body politic of worthy and intellectual Upinstorhood. Another point : Who over know a man to want what ho could have V is well as not ? It is ever the bud on the topmost limb , not the flower on the lower branch , that the man risks his lifo for. If Helen of Troy and Cleopatra of Egypt had united with any syndicate of maidens forlorn avowing their willingness to enter the marriage state , the Iliad would > never have been written , Mark Antony m might have posed as a model of ' marital fidelity. The only hope for the I Vienna sisterhood is that they will so- I euro the services of some attractive I widow in second mourning , some beauti- f ful and stately wife unappreciated by I her husband , to teach them the mys- I lories of the art of snaring hearts. If If the members do not disband tlio society Li promptly , they will oblige each of its | l members to swear a deep and deadly oath wrnever to marry at all. This will not bo n Re secret oath ; it will bo inscribed on the $ ' badges of the club , and largo fines will [ ; 1)0 ) Imposed if the badge is not worn con- ' ' bluntly. If some unwary man does not I * , rise at this fly , the Viennese maidens It might as well took the consolations of ' religion , knowing that because of their I worth and excellence they are sot apart I for something moro noble than the marI - I riago state. The average husband I couldn't appreciate them. . * * There ought to bo a law passed to prevent - [ , vent women from trying to make arm- | ( -111111-8 out of old barrels , foot stools [ from starch boxes and bookcases out of shoo boxes and packing cases. It IB really a terrible habit to form , according to Jenness Miller. The furniture is novel- satisfactory or strong. Tlio materials used in covering are entirely inadequate or fully as expensive as if proper articles had been bought hi the begin ning , and there is a liomo-made , make shift air about It that is always horrible. I have felt like tearing my fiitir many a ( .1 . time on entering a friend's room and I seeing her dressing table sot olT in the remains of a last miminor'n frock. Reams of paper have boon covered with directions how to make , for in stance. , a drcsning table out of a box to economize space. Did you over BOO one finished thut did not take up lota moro room than a real one. In the mime of common sense , when you can buy a nice little straight chair for 80 cents and ft rocker for $1.25 , what is the u o of break ing one's linger nails and spoiling the temper in worrying over old boxes. There are so many bits of homo carpen try that are pretty and alfeotuul that It seems a pity not to go in for them and Jet the mistaken alono. If you want a book-shelf , got little Iron brackets from the hardware man or r < ' nmko wooden ones at homo. Nail ( irmly to the wall and lay on your shelves. I don't see why jwoplo should want to hide their books , but If you have a curtain let It run on a little rod or it cord , so that all parts of thu shelves can bo reached easily. Don't , as you love votir Looks , box-plait the curtains nnd secure them with brass-headed taeks. That makes it so hard to get at the volumes that you will boon leave thorn alono. * Twenty years ago Miss Emily Page von Schonbcrg of Philadelphia was re puted the handsomest young lady In .America , aud a ho was ulbo exceedingly rich. Wlion flho married C'olonol Iltighc-vIIallett , u handsome English ofllcor of the highest wx-lnl standing , ' society was in ruptures over the alTair , at It was sot down as n genuine love matoh , with no fortune-hunt ing motive behind it. But , as n final test of her lore , the gallant and proud spirited Briton stipu lated In an ante-nuptial agreement that If she should over leave him "without reasonable cause" a certain portion of her fortune should lx > given to him. Ho was to bo subsisted by her during their married life , and in case ho made that lifo unbearable to her she waste to supply him with a life-long com petence before she could IKS free. The fortune-hunting Englishman , it Is al leged , began very so m to make it im possible for his i elf-respecting wife to live with him. They separated throe years ago. the wife leaving her husband after an ugly scandal. Then Hughes- Hallett pursued his \vifo with his prenuptial - nuptial contract , claiming that her de parture from his house was "without reasonable enure.1' Ho brought suit in Philadelphia for the share of the estate which ho claimed under the contract , but the supreme court has dismissed the case , and he must pay the costs. Mrs. Hughe.s-Hallott , nee von Schonberg , Is added to the long list of victims of European fortune-hunters. She might have chosen a husband from the very first ranks of sterling American manhood , and been one of the proudest and happiest wives of her native coun- lry' The tlmo has been until very recently that risks on the lives of women were never taken by certain companies dual- Ing In life Insurance. And those that did take such risks made the rates nearly double those which were charged to men , as they argued that women were not as long-lived as men nnd there fore not nearly as desirable subjects. This notion , which for so long hindered clenr-slghtcd women who wore nnxious to provide for the future welfare of their loved ones in this manner , has now been done away with , says the Philadelphia Times , and wo know of one large corporation that has taken the lead in this line and is most anxious to secure just such sort of lifo insurance and at the same rates as those that apply to men. This is only ns It should be , for women are just as desirous of making some pro vision for their loved ones in case of their demise as the keenest business man that over existed. Many n widow loft with helpless little ones has been haunted by the thought of their future , even though she were able to cope with their present wants. Many a woman on whom depends an invalid brother or sister would feel much happier if she knew that she could by lifo insurance secure those helpless ones from the bitterness of poverty which her death would plunge them into if such a precaution had not been taken. It is a stop in the right direction nnd should have been taken long ugo , for women have been proven to be as long- lived ns men , and the company that takes risks on their lives is doing some thing not ono bit more hazardous then when they so gladly rush in and insure the lives of us many men as they can get. # * Madame Carnet , the first lady of Franco , Is a brunette , with dark blue eyes , a pule complexion , delicately molded features , t and hair as black and glossy ns black satin , writes Lucy Ham ilton Hooper in n delightful sketch , with portrait , of the homo life and personal ity of the wife of the president of the French republic in the March Ladies' Homo Journal. Her expression is nt once intellectual and charming. Outside her official duties , which are ninny. Madame Curaot leads n very quiet and domestic life. She rises at 8 o'clock , and her first breakfast , consisting of a cup of colTeo and a roll , is served to her in her dressing room. Un til 10 o'clock she occupies herself with her private correspondence , which nl- wuys includes n letter to ono or the other of her children , only her youngest son , Francois , who is at school in Purls , being at homo. At 10 o'clock she joins the president in his library , and aids him in exnmining the voluminous mass of letters which arrive daily at the Elysee. Her thorough knowledge of modern languages , and her intelligence nnd unfailing good sense make of her a valuable nssistnnt. The second brenk- nst , or lunch , Is served at j o'clock in the breakfast- room of the palace and is usually a very simple repast. Guests are seldom invited to luncheon at the Elyseo , as both the president und his wife prefer entertninlng their friends nt dinner. Lunch once concluded , Mudumo Cnrnot , on the days of state dinner parties or balls , gives audience to her chief cook. Then she drives outoither to accompany her husband to the opening of an exhibition or the inaugura tion of some charitable institu tion , or to some other official function. The ordering and superin tending of her toilotts absorbs a good deal of her time , and is really ono of her officials duties the dress of the wife of the ruler of the btato exercising a wide spread influence over the commercial in terests of Franco. Then she is inter ested in a number of charities , and drops in from time to time to see how her pro teges are progressing * * Concerning crinoline the following ex tract from the Dundee , Scotland , Adver tiser , January' 5 , 1809. has been un earthed : Mr. Isaac BiekerstalTe , censor of Great Britain , sitting in the court of judicature , had crinoline brought in and hoisted by a pulley to the roof of the hall , whore It formed a very splendid nnd nmplo canopy over our heads , and covered the whole court of judicature with a kind of silken rotunda in its form not unlike the cupola of Saint Paul's. On Inquiring for the person belonging to the petti coat , Mr. BlekerstalTo , to his grent sur prise , was directed to a very pretty young damsel. "My pretty maid , " ho said , "do you own yourself to have boon the inhabitant of the garment before us ? " The young lady who wore this hoop confessed that she did not Hko it , und that she kept out of it us long ns she could nnd till she began to appear little in the eyes of all her acquaintances , nnd said she would bo very glnd to see nn example made of it. History does not go on to relate in what manner the hoop was censured , but the young lady , for her modesty and amiability , and in somewhat for her good looks , only re ceived great praise. Our British brother really begins to find us out , says Harper's Bu/.iir. In nn nrtlclo on the American child , which ono of him who has been hero contributes to the London Queen , lie savs of the American mother : "Sho is , if possible , too unselfish , and the consequence is that the child Is apt to become exacting. But it is precisely this peculiar trait that runs through all American society It Is characteristic of men no less than of women. Husbands slave for their wives , oven In the most heated days of summer , while their wives in their turn lavish all their thought and care upon the little ones. " Wo Ameri cans have known these many years that if wo had a fault it was that we were too unselfish , but wo never expected our transatlantic contemporaries to impute it to us. But this brother Is exception ally dulcet , since ho even declares that our children "aro , ns a rule , peed , sensible companionable little creatures , and the reports so often circulated as to their disagreeable forwardness are positively llbefous. " * Just now , when a movement Is being made to try nnd crush the mnnla for tight lacing , one cannot help thinking , says Jonness Miller , of the more exag gerated form of cruelty which the Chinese practice viz. , the compressing of the feet of fomnle children of the better classes. Unlike tight lacing , which is , alas ! on the increase , the fashion of strapping up the feet In China is decidedly lessening , though so slowly that one can not help hoping that some ono will try if law cannot be brought to the assistance of the helpless llttlo children. People talk of the yielding character of young bones or the pliability of baby sinews , but no ono who has listened to the cries of a little girl undergoing the torturing process will over believe that the pain Is other than excruciating. The walls are the walls of agony , the shrieks of a child absolutely wild with suffering , which end when the ligntures are loosened In the shocking succession of breathless screams , gradually djing down to long drawn nebs of exhaustion and misery. Such are the mothers and fathers who willingly torture their little ones thus for a mere freak of fashion , and if they do not realize their own cruelty it is high time that the strong arm of the law made them do so. * & it The table should bo a cabinet council board , as well ns n pluco to cat. Hero the father and mother meet with all the family , ns thov seldom meet nt any other time. With most it is their only tlmo for sitting down together. Why should not the head of the family nt this time consider family matters and dis cuss affairs of common interest ? Is there any reason why he should hold to himself all the bus-lness affairs that all are equally dependent upon and inter ested in , and she , the mother , take no council or get none , concerning domes- tie affairs ? I would advocate a formal counsel once n dny , when each ono shall ask advice of the other , and each child , in an orderly way , shall state his troubles nnd his problems. In such n way our fnmilies may cultivate unity of feeling and co-operation. * # Ono of the Easter brides is already planning her wedding nnd the gifts she will give tier bridesmaids. The wedding is to bo a mignonette affair , mid the maids will all went1 green gowns , with low necks nnd short sleeves , nnd carry huge bouquets of mignonette and roses. Their hats wi ! 1 bo of pink straw , trimmed with mignonette. The bride will hnvo n sprig or two of mignonette in her bridal bouquet. The mnid of honor will wear pink , trimmed with mignonette , and wear n wreath of the dainty little flowers on her brown curls. Her bouquet will bo entirely in mignonette. The gifts for the bridesmaids are to bo emernld hearts , surrounded with diamonds. The bridesmaids will bo ten in number nnd the wedding , of course , will be n very swell affair. t Shirt waists and blouses promise to bo oven moro popular than over during the coining senson. The principal change in them for the new season Is the use of n full frill , wide around the shoulders and graduated in width to the waist. This gives the effect of bretellos. Heavy cotton cheviots nnd linens will be moro used for these shirts than lighter goods. The silk shirt waists seem to retain their place. The French coutu- riores have adopted the shirt waist idea in many of their rich costumes of wool with silk or velvet. Blouses of plnid or rainbow velvet continue to bo shown with many French costumes where the skirt and remainder of the dress are of shaggy wool or camel's hair. Murmurs of the Model. Man sneers at woman for following the fashion , and then goes and finds fnult with his tnilor for not putting but tons on the coat tails of his latest suit. Bolts and girdles are so popular that oven ladies tailors make use of them to finish round waists , and to cross vests , or waistcoats , as they more frequently call them. The skirt portions of all the now spring jackets are much widened at the back , nnd slightly on the sides , to ndmit of their fulling easily over the enlarged dress skirts. So long as the dear girls can point to the fact that corsets have been found upon the waists of Egyptian mummies it is of little use to talk to them about the evils of tight lacing. Some of the new gloves show glaring transgressions of conventional idens nnd illustrate the disregard which fashion lias for anything which savors of the old-time virtue of economy. Russian whip cords , vigogne , tweed , serge , camel's hair , silk and wool benga- llnes , tricotsthe so-called Scotch plaids , and , nbove all , goods in corded and changeable effects will bo fashionable for street wear. Do you know the value of sunshine ? Then lot it into your houses. What's that about fading the carpets and furni ture ? Well , let them fade ! You can replace them , but you cannot replace your faded health. The shoulder-seam having boon so much lengthened , it follows that sloping shoulders will once again nss-ort their claims to recognition , for the Second Empire bodice is hardly compatible with the square-shouldered ideal. The new dress skirts measure from four to six yards in width around the bottom nnd the woman who decides upon the skirt with the latter measurement must also consent to wear Its Inevitable accompaniment the odious hoop-skirt. Seventy-one Now Orleans women have bound themselves in the sum of $2 each not to wear the hoopsklrt , the money in case of forfeit to go to n benevolent so ciety. Three months hence the society will have an addition of $142 to its treas ury. ury.The The ulster of other days has multiplied its simple effects and adornings and now it appears with a series of shoulder capes , trimmed on their edges , a jaunty collar , fancy sleeves and silver nnd enamel buttons in place of the plain bone or bronze ones. Very pretty surahs , bongnlines nnd morveilloux satins , dotted with silk of a contrasting color , nro made up into dressy toilets that have a rather full medium-length skirt and low-cut cor selet , with gimpe and balloon sleeves of plain silk the color of the dot. Round waists appear upon nearly every other model sent from Paris. These are either bolted in clot-oly or they curve with the taper of the waists to a sharp point. The f-onts open on n plastron or vest with extravagantly wide velvet rovers beyond , some of. which seem to spread into folds and lose themselves in the elaborate puffings on the sleeves. Oriental red Is the name given to anew now street shade of that color which ap pears in cloth vigoguo bourotto wools and silk nnd wool mixtures.

A lovely gown is qf pale green bon- galino opening eVer a Betticoat of ecru velvet. The ornamental stripes of the gown fabric are of chestnutitinted velvet. The snugly fitted bodice opens over a vest of ecru velvet , and is" finished with wide rovers of the velvet , which widen into a bertha over the shoulder. The sleeves are made with full drooping puffs of the velvet , with the lower arm. litted and of the gown material. The popularity of capes , single , double and triple , will increase rather than di minish. It is likely that they will con tinue In favor for a long time , or as long at least as the immense voluminous shoulder trimmings remain in vogue , as the capo form is much moro accommo dating to these than any coat or jacket , whoso smaller , heavier sleeves invaria bly crush the moro elaborate ones of the bodice. The fancy for buttons with odd devices is revived for handsome gowns , espe cially those with Directolro coats and waistcoats. These vary from patterns of cut metal , matching gold , silver and copper bronze passementeries , to styles as costly as real gems. Some are ex ceedingly elegant and artistic in sets both largo and 8inallmado of goldsilver and other genuine metals , and tinted in rich colorings of vines in relief or sot with bits of glittering half precious jewels. Dress designers are making strong at tempts to bring the Empire styles of dress into still more general vogue dur ing this and the summer season. The new models which they have sent forth are certainly very attractive , and ns during the autumn and winter they found u certain following , so also will they in the months to come : but they will never prove generally popular. The Empire gown is for the few , and not for the majority. The moment for nourishing the bud that is to bloom into the Easter bonnet is now at hand. The Easter bonnet Is merely a figure of speech for the flowers of millinery that bloom in the spring , and for which Lent ih a period of incuba tion. The only thing that can bo hiirely predicted is that it Is to be a rainbow- lined season. Iridescent effects in spangles , in many lined beads , in gold and silver gau/c , in gleaming beetles , in metallic blue and green wings are ac cumulating with a significance that loaves no doubt. There is an epidemic of beads Imitating pearls embroidering htraws and laces , and twisted into all borts of bands and fascinating garni tures. _ ( I'vmlmnu IVrsonulltlei.
