Tho child brought up in Now York is Tory different from tho llttlo Louisiana boy or girl, and tho young Ponusylva nian from cither. Look at this llttlo girl. Now York is written in every lino of Iter body and fold of bcr dress. Slio is chio and stylish and sho knows it. Just now alio dresses and lives very plainly, for sho or rather her mother is "quito English." Her chief faro is, in consequence, oatmeal porridge, cream, brown bread and but ter, and occasionally a llttlo bacon or a mutton chop. ri!NN9Yl.VANU,8 I'lUDE. She is n youthful member of tho Gotham Four Hundred, and somo day will mako her dobut ut n Patriarchs' ball and bo indorsed by tho Ward McAllister 6t tho day. " , 8ho is a bright, sensible, practical lit Hlo thing, and frequently astonishes her iparents by on unexiected display of her varied knowledge of persons and things fondly supposed to bo beyond her ken. . Her greatest pleasure is to bo dressed In" he best clothes and walk in Central park with her English nurse, whose curi ous lack, yet occasional superabundance, of h's is a constant sourco of wonder and unfeigned bewilderment to her. Sho is not n beautiful child, but half nnconsciously she manages to mako tho most of nil her good points and to keep all her defects in tho background. She has boon even at this early ago to one or two matinees, and talks qutto knowingly in her baby fashion about tho theater. Very different is this llttlo Pennsylva nian. Bho Is demuro, quiet and very weot a wise, gentlo veo girlie, who A UTTUS L0U1SIAMAN. doss a (rood deal of subdued thinking on her own account, bho is not quite so any aa she looks or would havo you be lieve. Every Sabbath sho accomranies her tweet faced, fresh cheeked you. g mother to worship, and a Sunday school picnic is her wildest dissipation. On such oc casions she U quite a belle among tho tbty vonrur gentlemen who take a de corous and sober pleasure in "'Ring, A-rlng A-rosy," "Oroon Gravel" and similar children's games. Unllko hor Nw York sister, fow par ties fall to her lot, and thoators sho al ready knows aro tho evil one's snares for tho uhwary. Bho can recito in her weet, soft llttlo voico, with Its captivat ing lisp, nearly all of Or. Watts' hymns. When sho grows up sho will bo a pretty, wholesome maid, with strictly correct and rather prim manner that moro tlmu one young man of Quaker descent will ilud irresistible. Bho will bo n good wlfa and mother and a thor oughly honest, pure woman. A strain of creolo blood lends a lan guishing glance to tho soft dark eyes of this llttlo Louisiana child. Her hair is flno jet black and curls in charming lit tie tendrils all over her pretty bond, Her complexion is paloand creamy, yet with n gleam like n pure white moonstone. Her eyebrows are finely marked and her lashes long and curly. In dicposition she is n mixture of lire and loo. Hho is naturally rather credu lous and decidedly suierstltlous, and when her nurso tells her tales of witch craft and tho terrible, fate that brfull.i llttlo girls who uro "hoodooed," her great eyes open until they look into stars. With comical gravity sho goes through all tho llttlo acts intended to avert calam ities that sho sees dono by her beloved ebon lined "aunty." English sho speakx a little, but prefers creolo French, with n curious lisping patois, and in a sweet, strangely rich Voice sho sings (plaint negro melodies with their wailing refrain and uudetlno blo undertone of melancholy. A great, largo limbed baby Is this llttlo Califorulau, a "native son of tho golden west," born in that gle-orlous climate where the sun's rays riien and sweeten everything. A breezy, wholo somo, unconventional baby, who just now is so busy growing that ho has llttlo timo for anything else. Ho is u gener ous, frank, open hearted baby, but though good natured and easy going ho has very decided opinions ns to his rights and is quick to resent any encroachment upon them. A CAt.lKOUNU CHILD, nis favorite food Is fruit, of which ho oats quantities nil tho year round. Ico and snow are unknown to him, for flow crs, fruit and green trees meet his gaze at nil seasons. Ho is tlio son of a pioneer, the young ost descendant of n "forty-niner," but ho will boo a very different lifo from that his father had known. Ho will nover oxporienco the rough lifo or eat the coarso raro or tho miners camp, and talcs of such lifo will havo ns much nov elty nnd interest for him ns for any of his littlo eastern born cousins. His complexion is rich nnd peachy looking, his eyes bluo nnd his hnir gold en brown, touched hero nnd thero with gleams of sunshine. Mischiovous? Well, a llttlo. Not all tho timo, though, for ho sleeps a good deal, but that is nbont tho only timo ho is not either just beginning a piece or mischief or just finishing it. Tlio last of theso young Americans might surprise his predecessors by lay ing prior claim to tho proud titlo of American, for his ancestors for hundreds of years imst owned nnd jKiasessed this great continent, hunted its forests and fished in its rivers. rtArX, ORDINARY TArOOSE. no himself was born on an Indian ro servo in Utah, but when ho is older will probably, liko many others of his nation, live in a stato of discontent. Ho is that rarity, a full blooded Indinn. Not n drop of whito blood flows in Ids veins. Ho is the son of n chief, and in a fow years will bo sent to ono of tho government schools, whero ho will lenra nil that his white brothers do. Ho Is a copper hucd little brave aud has all tho imperturbability of bis raco. Moro than an hour ago his dusky mother strapped him against his papoose board and left him in it, resting against a tree, yot ho mnkes no complaint, but looks straight in front nnd blinks hi eyes solemnly from time to timo. This is tho first timo ho has over seen a camera or a whito man, and so much novelty is n severe strain oven upon lib hereditary stoicism of demeanor. De- splto his best efforts n look of terror am astonishment comes into his face as tin lens Is pointed at him.

One might think that in a great city llko this thoy would grow forward or icrt, or appear old beyond their years, but thoy do not, All honor to their mothers, who mako u study of how to keep them real children, dressed according to their ago of playfulness and abandon. They aro not pupicts, nor is their dressing neglected, but it has reached tho point which wo call elegant simplicity. Protty littlo Hubbard frocks and plain, short walsted dresses aro seen in tho homes of tho millionaires on tho young daughters of tho house, mid dark, sub- FOR LITTLE 0ST3 stnntlnl mntcrlnls nro worn nlwnyB ex cept for somo festlvo occasion, when, naturally, silks, muslins nnd other moro extravagant fabrics nro ubckI, though sparingly. Tlio present modo in nil tho best Amer ican homes is to keep nil young icoplo in simple, nnd comparatively inexpensive nttiro until nfter tho young lady has en tered upon her second season, and even then tho preferenco is toward such goods ns most properly adorn youth, like the dainty wush goods in zephyrs nnd what ever Is tho current modo, with tissuo and diaphanous muslins for dancing and the lighter silks for dressing occasions. Tho present outlook for early spring is tlint thero will bo an unusual amount of plaid worn for ordinary school or houso or run-nbout-street gowns. When tho plaids are mado for children thoy will havo accessories, liko yokes, girdles, bands, etc, mado of velvet, black or the darkest shade in tho plaid. Plaid alone has not tho proper Mulsh, for self trim ming, and nothing will go with plaid of any kind but velvet. i Among tho odd but very taking fancies for children is tho uso of black satin for a frock, with a guimpo and sash nnd Bomotlmcs upper sleovo puff of ornngo or mandarin china silk. It is becoming to both blonds and brunettes, and tho satin when soiled can bo wiped off with n spougo dipped in water, which is a great desideratum with small children. Cloaks for thollttloglrlsaronot unliko those of their mothers, but ono of tho prettiest nnd most useful is presented hero. It wns mado of brown cheviot, with n double box plaiting of rod ribbon around tho bottom nnd lower capo. The upper cajw was slashod and lined with satin. Tlio hat wns a Inrgo brown felt trimmed with rod feathers and ribbon bows. Another littlo cloak for a smaller girl was of whito cider down flannel, with flecks of golden brown scattered over it. It was Mother Hubbard shape, and the capo to it was covered with whito ostrich tips, the ends of which wcro tipped with brown. The hat was white beaver, largo, nnd simply overwhelmed with brown tipped white plumes. Sovernl beautiful llttlo bonnets for small girls are mado liko Mario Stuart coifs, and thoy aro bewitching over tho pretty faces. Out tho quaintest nnd prettiest headgear for littlo toddlers is tho queer, old fashioned contrivance shown in tho picture. The fall of laoe over tho rosy faces is too cunning for anything. I havo seen three bats almost like this among tho now spring model bonnets for Indies, though thoy aro nar rower at the back and puff out a little on tho sides, but reach tho samo high point and havo tho samo frill of lace and big or llttlo bow, according to clr cumstnnces. Theso hats remind mo of somo ancient picture I have seen. They look odd, but aro certainly piquant and attract ivo, and rescmblo in somo vague wny tho mob cap of our great-grandmothers. In my pilgrimages to tho shrines of fashion I saw a splendid walking cos tume just com pleted by n fa mous ladies' tail or, which is worth mention among a hundred othor handsomo gowns. This was of sage groon cloth, heavy and fino, cut prluoosa shapo and fitting without a wrin kle. Tho bottom of tho skirt was "held out" by two manilla ropes covered and sowed tightly on tho under side of tho facing, On tho skirt all around was n 5-lnch bor der of stono mar ten. Tito upper polish cloak. sloovcs wero very largo and jvwSff.1 cut with a stiff buck ram lining. A littlo stono marten "beostie" was in placo of a collar. In (rout was a gather fall of tho cloth, IS '-n dSi 'll'llsV but nono in tho back. Tlio wnlst closed with double rows of small black silk crocheted buttons nnd soutncho, Polish stylo. I havo spoken of this garment aa costilmo when tho tailor himsolf called it a Polish cloak, but as it is not to bo worn over a dress and takes tlio placo of ono I should call it a costumo in prefer enco to cloak If I had the naming of it. Howover, It is very stylish and graceful. At this samo house I saw a long wrap that for sumptuous richness I believe has rarely been equaled. Tho wrap was for a lady who counts her millions on nil hor lingers, nnd If rejiorts nro true some of hor toes as well. Tho wrap was made of prune velvet of tho richest quality, long nnd with angel sleeves. Tho velvet was embroidered In high relief with Sad ler's silk In tho samo shade, but it looked lighter from the difference in silk nnd velvet. Tho pattern was an intricate design of convolvull trailing along the edges nbont a foot deep. Tho effect was Indescribably rich. Uelow this was a border of Kussinn sable eight Inches wide nil around the bottom. On tho sleeves thero was n twelve Inches deep black crocheted ball fringe in silk. Tho collar had a fringe liko this, mingled with snblo tails. Tho wholo was lined with an India shawl that must have cost a thousand dollars, nnd how tho owner over had tho conscienco to cut it up 1 cannot Imagine. Tho whole cloak I was told wnH valued at $8,500. What could bo worn with such n wrap In tho way of dress or bonnet? Well, tho bonnot wns of prune velvet, with a bordor of steel bead passementerie nnd somo velvet convolVuli in deep purple tints. Tho dress was n rich black bro cade, with a llouuco of black ostrich plumes, headed by n rose plaiting of fringed out silk, which wns almost ns soft nnd fluffy ns moss trimming nnd n good deal moro expensive.

Twenty-one Year of Woman flnflTrage la Wyoming?1 An important and interesting contri bution to tlio literature of tho woman question is contained in a letter to tho Now York Sun from Wyoming. It is a clear and compr61icnslvo summing up of tho results of twenty-ono years of wom an Biiffrngo hi that stato. Wo learn from it that nearly every woman in tho stnto votes. Tho ladles havo their par tisan clubs Republican, Democratic and Populist. They take fully ns much in terest in politics as tho men do. They formerly voted tho Republican ticket mostly, but last year their sympa thies wero nrouscd on tho side of tho "rustlers" as against tho cattlo barons In tho cow war, nnd thoy voted almost to a woman with tho Demo crats, beennso tho Domocratio platform leaned toward tho rustlers. I am glnd to ierceivo thoy hnvo learned already that you cannot law virtue nnd morality into tho humnu race. In this they nro in ndvunco of somo of their sisters In tho east. Tho women of Wyoming concern themselves particularly with tho charac ter of tho candidnto who is to enforce tho laws already iiiudo, rnthor than with tho passing of now laws. A man who is a drunkard, n wife or child beater, a gambler or a corrupt iolitieian stands no moro chanco of getting into ofllco in Wyoming thnn of getting into heaven. Ono candidate was reported to havo slapped his wifo becauso a shirt sho had mndo for him was too sinnll. "Tho wom en vowed to mako him feel so small that ho could use tho littlo shirt for an over coat, and they did it." Tho shirt story will follow him to tho end of his days wherever ho goes. As to oftlceholding, tho Indies do not seem to aspire nfter that so much, though they get their pro portion of tho places. Thooilicoof school superintendent is by common consent yielded to a womnn in nil tho twelvo counties. Tho pay is from $000 n year to $1,500. Two women hnvo been elected justices of tho peace. Tho correspondent says thero nro no women doctors or law yers in tho stnje, which is unfortunate. There ought to bo both. Finally after twenty-ono years of suffrage tho Wy oming women hnvo only to show ns n re sult in their stnto "good, honest govern ment nnd pure elections." What moro would anybody want, pray? Tho way to achieve gains for our sex is for women to stand by ono another through thick and thin. Do you remem ber what Olivo Schreiuer said in ono of her "DrenmsV" "I looked nnd saw that all tho women held ono another by tho hand." An enterprising firm of women ten merchants havo bought n largo tea plan tation of their own in Ceylon. They em ploy women in nil tho brunches of their business whero it is possible. Thero aro women tasters, blenders and packers. Wo aro told that in Wyoming fino jier sonal appearance nnd winning manners go a long wny toward electing n candi date of cither sex. Well, why not? Other things being equal, that la as it should bo. May tho day nover como when tho raco will bo inscnsiblo to tlio charm of personal beauty In eithorman or woman. Tho Greeks wero nearer rfght tlmn tho old church ascetics in thl matter. Beau ty culture, through cleanliness of body and mind, through physical education, and, abovo nil, through developing tho sweet graces of tho soul,, is a legitimato and noble pursuit. I for one- never yet met an individual repulsive in physical appearance who was eithen good or gifted. And when I seo upon n public platform as u speaker a woman with slipper stop per shoes, a badly fittlng;gjwn. not over neat aud slumped over shoulders. I know instantly tlint such a womnn has as yet no conception of tho noblest aud most exalted doctrines of progress. When a married woman's husband neglects her the )oorest way in tho world is for her to sit at home- and niopo and shed tears over it. Let aer brighten up and go aud havo good times too. There is much pleasure left iu tho world, even if one's husband is no Longer iu loro with ono as much us ho used to Ik. I am so tired of hearing uboat "woman aa a wifo nnd mother'" that at times. I would liko to go oil mid live among tho Eskimos or somo place wlierc I did not understand tho language. In Wyoming a married ami an unmar ried woman wero opposing candidates for school superintendent in ono of tho counties. The single woman appealed to a wifo for her vote on the ground that tho opponout was a married woman and had n husband to support her. Instantly the woman voter, who knew how it was herself, replied: "Whatcf that? Amur- i ried woman has a harder time to get ' money than anybody elso, My sisters, that married woman stated a great truth. There is no way of getting monoy so surely ns to earn it yourself. Moro interesting perhaps than at any previous meeting wero tho speeches deliv ered this year at tho convention of tho National Woman Suffrage association. Tho address of Hon. Carroll D. Wright on "Women in Industry" and that of May Wright Sowall on "Municipal Housekeeping" show which wny tho wo man question of today is drifting. It is pleasant to think of that woman in tho town of Nowburg, N. Y who is superintendent of tho street cloauiug and street sprinkling department. Sho is in exactly tho right plnco. Sho has had tho contract for a number of years and mndo a fair profit out of it, hiring nnd superintending her own luborers. This is better than it is in somo of tho cities of Europe, where I saw women scraping and cleaning tho streets with men bosses over them. Miss Elizabeth Uttor is doputy clork of tho United States circuit court for the western division of tho western district of Missouri at Kansas City. A dried up old hunks has latoly !een bemoaning tho fact that women are ' fesslons, o that thoy cannot support tholp fmiiiGH nn,i mv ),0(,r n,i c,,r. any moro. It is liko tho shoomakcr's talk when mankind first began to mako shoes uy machinery. Eliza Arcuaiw Conneh.
