So far an men nro concerned , the problem of the pocket may be said lo bo satisfactorily solved. The prospect of relief to women in this respect is tar from clear , ( iucstions of anatomy , pridn in personal appearance , modesty and. the various descriptions of mysterious machinery an.l conhigc of which there are suggestions in modistes' windows servo to complicate the dilli- culty.

What Women Should Wear. Philadelphia News : Thu majority of black-haired women have bhicu oycs a.ul a sallow complexion. On the wholo.thov look best in black say black lace , with fioinc white lace nttho throat. The oll'oct is then something like that of an etching. If a black-haired woman has a pale .skin nnd blue eyes shu can wear almost any thing that is , except yellow and green. Hluo- > and reds are particularly becoming to her , and she oven looks well in blue- vthito , which is trying to most people , and is only ventured on with aliioliito safety by rosy , blue-oyed , fair-haired blondes , who are known as "cool" blonde0. The "cool" ijloudc is a privileged per- fion. She can wear all those pure cold colors in which other women dare not venture , and in winch no other type can equal her. She looks well in pale green , cold gray , heliotrope purple , and cold blues. She ought never to wear red , brown , .yellow , or cream-white. Sometimes one sees brown-black hair with steel-gray eyes and a fair .skin , with a brilliant , rosy complexion. Women of this type can wear greens and blues ot all shades and every sort ot purplo. They also look well in brown" , and rods , and fawns , and grays. They should avoid old gold and all too subtle tones , such as mauve. A woman with lighter brown hair and blue or gray oycs looks well in brown or fawn color , relieved by rtiuk. Dark blue i.s also becoming to her. With brown hair , warm brown skinand brown eyes almost barbaric contrasts are elTce- live , such tis blue and red and black and yellow , and all shades of yellow and red are becoming. The shorter the woman the shorter should bo thu waist and the longer hoi- legs , to give her height. Ak to high heels , they do certainly glvo dignity as long as the wearer stands still , but let her walk , oven across a room , and the oll'uct is absolutely graceless. Long lines Irom the shoulder to the foot give height ; hori/.ontal lines ciossing the ngiiro shorten the person. Short , stout women should never wear basnues nor any other arrangement that makes a de cided line about Ills hips , and they .should never have their gowns made too tight. Draperies which aru a little loose give an elieot of slcndorness by not defining the lines too clearly. Tail women who are too blunder might use horri/.ontal lines with advantage. A band surrounding the arm or waist makes it look much larger than it really is. The jjrout mis take is to have a dross trimnuMl'vvith lines of a violently contrasting color. Fl ret'ron f Dresses , This is how to make your dress lire- pioof. Chemicals galore have bucn used from time to tinui to render fabrics in combustible , but one of the most oIlk-a cinus and least expensive is tungstato ot soda , which may bo inpjt convoniiMitly applied by mixing it with thu starch for dressing- Add ono narl of the lungs- tale to throe parts of gooil dry starch , and u o the starch in the ordinary wnv.

The Xontcsl Women in Ilio World. Somebody who has traveled extensively has been talking in a Denver nnpor about Amorio.ui women , who , ho declares , are the neatest the world over. As a rule , they like to be neat and clean for the com fort of it , though they are sometimes found to become slatterns where they be- - t Hoyo themselves unknown , and there fore free from criticism. Ho gee on to say ? "The. habit of neatness or its oppo site is an rntorosting study in women. The characteristic naturally exists Just the eaiuu ii > mcu , but the circumstances gov their lives arc such as dor not bring out this pli.i < oin such pronounced fash ion. I don't doubt but that seine of the greatest slatterns on earth are men , but they are seldom found out , you know. If yon are fmflicieutlj intimate with n gci.tloman to gain access to his tippnrt- mcnt } on will soon have : i very excellent method of judging of his habits. If you find hh brushes full of hair and lint , his towels and soiled clothes kicking about everywhere , with a bovf * of dirty water always on his washstand , you may easily judfyj that ho will go out In the street with grca. c snots on his clothes nn J half- soiled linen on. Wliy Women Work , ( Jail Hamilton has a serious word to say of her sc\ that all should mad ; "Their spiritual superiority is signified chiefly in this that the women work for love , the men for money.1' Thus she sums the matter up " J'he spiritual advance made by man is seen chlelly In this , that so much of the money he earns goes to the ministry of rclinemctil , education , em bellishment , to the wife nnd children whom he loves. Hut the womin sees no money for her toil. Her sulllciont , her ntnplti reward is in n husband , content , happiness , growing in grace , in children , bounding to gracious maturity. The unmarried woman works for necessity , for love of her dependent ones , for love of some beautiful or benelicent profession , for sweet muicy and c.'iariti ' to the igno rant , for horror of dependence upon tluno on whom she has no claim seldom for business , ambition , or material accumu lation The woman who makes a real failure , a failure in her own business , is thu unloved woman , the grasping , tiiu untruthful , the woman who is a center of discomfort , a source of anxiety , an object of avoidance , instead of being that gen tle , consoling , considerate , motherly magnet which draws unto itself all human want , and woe. and bllss.and aspiration. " Tlio Women of Koro.i. Letter in Now York 1'ost. The dross of women is slightly dill'ereiit. They use the same nhou , wooden and luatlior , as thu menthu same padded stockiii"stioiis- crs very similar , but over them a full skirt draped tcstoon liku and falling a little below the knee. The hat is not worn abroad by females. I'ho short , looao tunic they wear , and in addition , in the case of childless women , the girdle is worn over the bruasr , tightly compress ing the breast and giving the appearance of having the waist under the armpit. In the case of women who have borne children in wedlock the girdle last men tioned is missing , and they walk the streets with breasts exposed , this being accounted to them an honor. Women are often soon in the streets wearing over the head and drawn about the face so as to show only their eyes a coat of blue cloth , made with sleeves like our ownbut the sleeves are never used , as the collar or neck of thu coat s-irrounds the face. The story told to account for this custom is that in former times Korea was exposed posed to assaults from different quarters , and men were often summoned hastily from their employments to take the Held against the enemy , but not having time to go to thuir homes for clothing. 'Unit under these circumstances women made lor their husbands' coats , and then at tended them m the liuld wearing those coats loo-uly thrown over their own heads , so that at a moment's notice they might hand to their husbands the needed garment. Whatever Ilio truth ot tlio story , it is a pretty one , and in view of it ono can reconcile himself to seeing the ugly spectacle presented by those mumnjy-liko figures stalking around the streets with faces hidden and empty sleeves Happing derisively from the top of the shoulder. The materials used differ , of course , with the rank and wealth ot the wearer , and range from a very course and cheap grass cloth to line Chinese -silks. The usual material , however , is a thin cotton fabric , resembling closely coarse lawn , and from this garments are made for both men and vvonfcn. This is in the ca e of the coat and the woman's skirts of ton colored , and as in washing the color comes out , that process involves coloring also. When all is said , and it is leinembcrcil that the prevailing "color" is white , and clothing is therefore easily soiled , it must be admitted that the Koreans are not so dirty a peoplu as seine would claim Me chanics after a day's work wash them selves and put on clean clothing before going home , and after this look like gen tlemen ot leisure takingan ; evening-stroll. Mourners arc distinguished by being clad in garments ot a dii'l ' straw color , made usually of grass cloth. Men wear the hats of the largest si/.o , which droop so as to cover thu entire face. If the vvcaicr chooses ho may push back this enormous covering and carry in his hands a little strip of the same coarsa cloth as ho wears , which attached bv the ends of two little sticks , ho holds so"as to hide the lower portion of his face. Thus bo can see thu peoplu ho meets , vvhilu all they can sco of his features arc his eyes. Some have accounted for the wearing of the mourners' hat by saying that it is felt that heaven in removing a friend is angry and is to bo Drooitiutod by being hidden for a season from the sight of his ollendcr. A com oarison of the dress of Kornatis and Japanese as seen uvury day is largely in tavor of the former. In the low ranks of Japanese lifu clothing is almost want- inir In Korea wo havu so far seen no such state of nudity as need bring a hlu-m to the face of a lady placed here without the previous drill given in passing through Jap-ui. This is true so far as adults aru concerned , but it must be ad mitted that in summer children walk thu htreets , and live in them , entirely un'm- cumbered by clothing of any sort , uvon until tlioy arc seven or eight jears old. Ornaments of Algerian. Women , Urooklyn Muga.inoTho dress of the Algerian woman hangs very loosely about thu arms , which aru always bare. Some times a red band , which passes in a loop over each shoulder and crosses at thu back , where it is ornamented with little red tassels , keeps the dress closer to the ligure. When thu arms are raided , the loose drapery hanging through the loop- , has much the appearance of the lull sleeves of the Italian peasant. Shoulder- pins are very much worn and are made of silver , olten enriched with coral and enamels , resembling an Irish brooch. These pins are sonR'tnnes connected with a chain , to the centre of which is sus pended a little metal boxenamelled , and containing scout. On the bond is worn a little peaked bonnet , like the French cap of libuily It is made by doubling in half , lengthwise , a broad silk band , and .suwing up ono side. It is kept in its place by a second kerchief , bound round and knotted behind. Many women allow their hair to wave free , or conlinu it simply by a fillet. A frequent orna ment Is a round silver brooch with an opening in thu centre crossed by a pm. Houses of coral , as well as knobs of silver , which latter hive a very pearl-like ctl'cct , are dotted about it. They are eHoctivo pieces of jewelry , and with the sun shining on them glisten like the moon. They are not adopted until a woman becomes - comes a mother. On the Mirth of a girl , the brooch is worn between the breasts , on tlm birth of a boy , it is raised , and glcuins above thu forehead. When a wifo- ia disobedient , and is beaten by her hiis band , thu brooch is often undone by the woman and itashud to the ground at his feet. There is another head ornament , handsomer than this , It consists of a central silver brooch over the forehead , und sldo brooches above tlio temples , en- rlchcii in the same style , and with lows of silvcrgloamingsunilsphcrcs completely encircling thu head , and forms a glitter ing tiara tit for a princess.

Pittsburg Sunday Traveller : In con versation with a ward school teacher the other day , tlio writer was impressed with tlio importance of parents serutini/- ing the correspondence of their children. lie , of course , did not mean that parents should object to their sons and daughters sending or receiving letters without their consent , but he did mean that parents should have a general oversight of their children's correspondence , and that it was their right to disapprove of any let ters ot an unhealthy diameter being sent or received. The gentleman urged the supervision of correspondence sis an im portant matter , as the moral contamina- ion which is uossiblu to be poured into young minds by means of vile letters is a source of great danger. How parents should prevent this he did not say other than that they were to hold themselves responsible for what was written or re ceived through the mails. Parents to cv- eicisc this discretion judiciously , should encourage their children to be frank in their coirespondenco ; teach them to have too much respect for themselves and their parents to write letters which the latter could not see at any time , and which would cause no blush or shame to mantle the cheek of mother or father. If parents can sueee.ssfully teach their chil dren to show this regard , they need not fear to allow them to correspond freely , and pel haps the host way to teach this is for the parents to exercise the right to open any and all letters before allowing them to bo read by the young boys and girls. Even children ot larger growth .sometimes need lo be restricted in their correspondence. It this wore done there would be fewer family scandals. How Tlioy Itcuuii llouiekcepinjr. St. Paul Globe : Mr. Youngman of St. Anthony Ilili married a very pretty and sweet little lady a few days ago , and he furnished a house io establish her in as soon as the nuptials were completed. Ho was congratulating himself on having bought everything that would be needed in the proper running of a wcll-organ- i/.ed household , and was not a little sur prised the second morning after the wedding by his wife handing him a card on which was written a list of articles winch she requested him to bring home when he came from work. Tbe list ran as follows : "stove polhl ! . Hard soap. Oatmeal. Curtain fixtures. I'iottire hooks anil cord. Coal-sieve. Rolling-pin. Dust-iun. Itioom. Stove-brush. Pai > ei eight-ounce tacks. Mr. Youngman reads over the list and trie.s to tomeinber that he bought all of thcsv things when he furnished the house , but ho can't. "Hadn't you better go down with me and order them yourself , darling ? " ho says. "No , no , dear. " she replies , "you can got them wolj enough. " "IJut I might not get just what you want , " no suggests. "O , you geese , " she says , smilingly , throwing her arm around his neck and dropping a kiss on Ids lius ; "you know I'd be satisliul with anything you buy me. " "I wouldn't bo single again for any thing , " linked Mr. Yqungman , as ho tripped lightly down stairs. That noon Mr. Youngman brought home the desired articles and laid them on the table. Mrs. . Youngman looked over the articles and said : "O , Will'what'd yon get this kind of stove-polish for ? It isn't halt'so good as the other. And this soap ! Wh } , my mother never would have that brand in the house. How much'd you pay for this oatmeals" "Twenty-fivo cents. " ' 'Twenty-live cents ! Why , you can get splendid oatmual at Schwab's for 15 cents a package. " "Thusu curtain fixtures arn an inch too wide for thu windows. L wonder sou didn't know that. " "O , you got green picture cord , didn't you ? Well , 1 won't use it. I always want red picture cord. " "Thac coal stove is too courso. It'll lot half the gooil coal through it. Why didn't you think of that ? " "That rolling pin is altogether too heavy. 1 wanted alight ono. " "I was in hopes thai you'd get a bronze dust pan instead of this yellow one. " "That broom is too heavy A lighter one would have done just as well , and it wouldn't have cost.io much. " "Tho bristles in that steve hrmh tire too still' . 1 wanted a softer ono. " "O , Will , why didn't you got galvan- i/cd tacks. Those iron ones nut out so quick. They ain't good at all. " Mr. Youngman waits until his young wife gets through , and , wondering what has lirought such a changeover her since morning , puts his arm around her and "What is the matter with my little wife ! " Her dainty head fall ? on his shoulder , and between the sobs that shako her slight frame she say - " \Vi-Will \ , I fo-eol so ba-lmd. I wanted to-to make some ui-ul-bisouit this noon , a-a and got Ihe and . vva-vva-vvatcr sa--a- salt and yo-j-e-yuost ; but there's some thing mi-nii-niissinjr , . and I can't think wha wha-what it is. " Mr. Voungmau smiled quietly , and , clasping his young wife to his watch- pockrt , ho placed his lips to her car and whispered , ' "Jb'lour. " So Knsjr to Keep Honse. It is o easy to "keep things up" in tlio household if ono only takes a little care and attends to each thing at tlio right time and keeps that thing In the right place. Why leave stains on cups and saucers the dishes most often stained when these may be removed by rubbing witii ashes ? And the cane-seated chairs throughout the hou e , not a spot need bo left on them if on a bright sunny day each ehalr is thoroughly washed ami tlio wood saturated with not water and dried in the open air and sun. Not only \\ill the chairs look bettor , but they will last much longer , ns in drying tlio wood will swell and tighten where it joins , and the chair be as linn as when new. Tlio bits of bra s about the house , bo they ornaments or lire-irons , or only the trimmings of the doors and windows , can bo kept bright and shining with ammonia-tho strongest concentrated will remove stains when all else fails. To keep the hinges in order , big or little , and prevent the disagreeable creaking , don't oil them. The oil is sure lo soil the hands , the gar ment * , or the carpet , and "the remedy is worse than the disease , " when a simpler method lies awaiting n . Huh the hiugo that creaks or the latch that will not slide with a soft lead pencil and yon will lind tlio application work like magic. Apropos of this subject one of the conveniences of the household of to-day is n tiny box of nails , costing fifteen or twenty cents , and to be had at any hardware store. It is called "Mrs. McGregor's family nail box- , " and contains two or tlirco or maybe two or three do oii of all kinds of nails and tacks and screws : in all , several hundred. With one of these at hand a pieturo or bracket , or shoo bag goes in its place without the least fuss'or trouble. Iron rust from anjtiling c.nn bo re moved with Out an instant's labor. Hub well witli lemon juice and salt and it will disappear. A lemon rubbed on the skin will remove stains. Tlio oar- pets about the house may be made to hist much longer and keep much fresher if occasionally , on general sweep ing day , the Hoer be well sprinkled with corn meal and salt befoiv commencing lo ply that woman's weapon , the broom. And when it is faded somewhat : v now lustre may be added by putting half a tumbler of spirits of turpentine in a basin of water and keeping the broom wet with it while sweeping. The room must bo swept anyway , anil these things arc but n second s extra labor and will pay even the most busy housewife in saving her carpets. Two good housewives have each a method of keeping their polished floors all that the name implies. One uses two quarts of milk a week , and with that small quantity wipes the lloor of two largo rooms which have boon pre viously gone over with a sofl brush. The other rubs thorn oil' every ; morning with a largo , Ilannol cloth , which is steeped in coal oil once in two or three weeks. After doing which , with a rubbing brusher or stubby broom she goes rapidly up ami down the planks ( not across ) . Simply shake the dust from the cloth. Either housekeeper has shining , smooth floors , so that each way recommends itsulf In the language of the boys , "You pays your money and you takes your choice. " MUSICAb A.N1I DRAMATIC.
