Mr. Carlylo's philosophy of clollics was di'sijjned for men rather than for women. hijys liio ftuw York Tribune. Ono of liis lirst principles was the abstract idea that clothes were invented for the sake of decoration and ornnment rather than warmth and decency. His learned pro fessor discovered in tattooing and paint' inn : mionr wild barbarians evidences of n spiritual youuing for decoration , which .subsequently gave rise to n desire for clothes and ononed the wny for distinc tions , individuality , social polity and civili'/ation. Mr. Oarlylo was not so tin- gallant as to suggest that a barbarous in- Htinet for personal decoration was at the bottom of women's desire for now clothes. His was a philosouhy of tailoring rather than dressmaking and millinery , He re- horved women's wardrobes anil uccnmti- lations of linery for the learned Tcufcls- drockh of tin ; researches of another generation. Possibly the learned Tetifels- urockh ot thu future will lind the solution of this mystery in a strange transaction which has recently occurred in Paris. A French ladv of distinction' , who re cently died in that city , Jeft behind so great a stock of apparel that her exe cutors despaired of disposing of it among n large circle of relatives and acquaint ances. They hud n compluto inventory made of the wardrobe , and then Bold it piece by piece at auction. It comprised seventy magnificent costumes of silk , plush velvet satin and other materials fifteen mantles trimmed with rare furs innumerable dressing-gowns , paletots , riding-habits' jackets , etc ; seventy petti coats , and silk , plush and satin under clothing in enormous quactity ; nearly tli roe hundred pocket-handkerchiefs ; one hundred and sixty five pairs of stocking sixty pairs of shoes ; forty pairs of gai ters ; ono hundred bonnets or hats ; ten mutts ; forty umbrellas nml parasols , nnc other articles in similar profusion. It was not a lot of old clothes. Everything was new and fresh and of thu finest quality ; and the entire wardrobe , while it when at a great sacrifice * brought over fltt.OOO. Its original cost was estimated nt six or seven times as much. The sale seems to have excited great interest in Paris among both sexes , the inventories being extensively advertised and commented upon. Various lectures on women's extravagance have been read by aerld journalists- the sale on thu whole was regarded as beneficial for the interests of the gentler six , since it enabled wives to contrast their own modest possessions with the wardrobe of a well known lady of fashion , und to claim for themselves considerable talent for cconomv. ' It was reserved , however , for Al. Pille't in the Uobats to draw the philosophical deduction that the extent of the wardrobe Indicated that the de ceased leader of fashion had collected clothes very much as wise men collect paintings , etchings , autographs , books , ems , portraits , coins or postage stamps. § he had not worn ono out of forty of her lavish purchases , and evidently had not t admired them from any sense of need or to satisfy what Air. C'arlylo styled "tho decorative instinct" of the human family. She simply followed the bent of her mind as a collector of new and beautiful ob jects. If she was in any sense a typo of nor sex , the suggestion is ono which may explain many mysteries of the boudoir and closet. It mar resolve what vulgar prejudice has condemned as wanton ex travagance into the common practice known among men us "making collec tions. " Certainly if men are wise in their generation when they gather to gether antiquities of all sorts , women in tneir turn may bo pardoned if they rank also as colluctiors of providing costumes nnd mode , _ Fcmnlc Gum-Clicwers. Chew I Chow ! Chowt It has become n national habit , and ho or she who has not a mouthful of gum or tobacco upon which the energies are expanded in as inception. In social gatherings , on the htroot-cnr , at public entertainments , it in the same everlasting wagging of the chin. Wax tigues of the people of the present will bo made , a thousand years from now , with a purpotiial-moiion ma' chine hidden in the moutli to keep the jaws niovjng in order to bo a realistic rnpresonta tion. The figure would be n carllcnture Happy is the gum-manufacturer in this day and generation , for the ory is still for more of his products. Refined women can rival the most inveterate tobacco-chowors in their power of chew ing. Like the flowing of Tennyson 'i "Urook , " their jaws wag on "forever. " Homo EnclUli Women's Work. English women in this generation lmv < done some rather remarkable work i must bo confessed. Mrs. Leonowcns Catherine Macquoid , Lady Brassoy , am Lady Anne lllunt , have all acquired i reputation for adventurous travel , to cetlier with a number of others. Ii political conomv Mrs. Fawcett hi : made an enviable name , so lws Mrs Green in history ; and so 'has Mis * Mar tlneixu in both history and political econ omy. In philosophical thought France Power Cobbo has achieved distinction Mrs. Jameson , Lady Eastlako , Mrs Hawels , and Lydla Scott , are only a fnv of the names that aru widely known ii the realm of art criticism , as Elizabotl Thompson , of the "Roll Call , " and K&ti lireenaway. are but two instances of i large number who' have used the ! pencil and bruih acceptably ii irt iUolf. . Onl/ three or fou . * ! . . , - - 0. .1 men of England have excelled the work of ( Jeorgo Eliot. Chnrlotto Hronte , Emily Uronte , Amelia 15. Edwards , Anne Thackeray , and Miss Yonge in the writ ing of novoU ; the lust , through the youth of her readers , having an especially wide inlluenco. And if the poems of Adelaide Proctor , Joan Ingclow , and Mrs. Craik have not reached the very topmost intel lectual heights , Mrs. lirowning's have , anil so have a few of George Eliot's , ami they lii\c ! , nt any rate , succeeded in touching and warming the hearts of those that have been and al ways will bo inaccessible to their so- c.illed superiors. \ \ omen who have been able to accomplish so much with crip pled means and methods of education and habit have a riirht to expect that their successors , to whom the royal paths have ut last been opened , .shall accom plish a great deal more. I'aranoU for Hummer. Parasols for spring and summer wear nro large , long-handled and this season show tun gold or silver pointed ribs. The fabrics of which parasols arc con structed are of every &ort of material used for dress , showing models in lace , plaided and striped velvet , colored net in plain green palm designs on grounds of ecru , etc. . and similar patterns. Vertical bands of satin or plush are ar ranged on gores of sheeny satin with stylish olluct. Parasols in mauresquo shape arc madn wholly of ecruo silk tulle , the creamy folds and pull's banded down with stripes of Lyons velvet ribbon in velvet , wine color , dark moss green or black. Elegant looking parasols of golden- brown satin , lined with pale piimrose bilk , are striped with dark brown velvet on each core , and finished around the edge with a plaited frill of primrose- colored crepe lissc , embroidered in silks of wood-colors , shading from faintest Wilton yellow to deepest bron/.e. Parasols havu willow handles , hand somely carved and inlaid with bits of dark wood vari-colored. Loss novel styles are shown in parasols of rich black or white lace of n superb pattern , over foundations in satin of every conceivable shade. There are many inexpensive sunshade ? , of which mention should bu made , par ticularly of those of pongee , embroid ered with daisies. A Little Ijccturc to Women , liutt'ulo Express : One hundred to one , if you chancu to come up behind two women walking on a plunk sidewalk , on both sides of which arc inches of mud , yon will bo forced to stop out into that mud , beg the women to let you pass dry- shodor rudely push by them. Why should this state of affairs exist ? You say tliat real ladies will always concede the right of way. But , my dear fellow , it will not do to call only one woman in 1,000 a lady they are all ladies in this glorious union. Wo must look deeper for the reason. It is not want of natural politeness on the part of our women it is simply thought lessness common enough with all women. The Sweet Seventeen of To-Day. London Society : The old traditions arc vanishing ono by one. Sweet seventeen , with her slice of bread and butter and her blushing little simper , has given place to thu maturity of twenty-seven. The low voice , that "inost excellent thing in woman , " is replaced by the loud du- thuit tone that will be heard. The fash ionable young woman ot to-day steps trom the carriage , leaving her mother to follow her up to the steps and into the house as bust she may. Only the minority , whose "good manners are the fruit of noble mind , " pay the gentle deference to elders that is so swuol to them and so pleasant to seu. A Society Girl's Summer Outfit. Now York Letter in Scr.inlon Truth : A society girl showed the other day her summer outing outfit. There were palo pink and green ribbed silk vests and silk stocking to match , and white china silk night gowns with lace frills. The latter are HO like nothing on a hot sumnlcr night that ono is glad to spend a super fluous $15 on each just to keep cool. The other sots were of fine linen cambric and nainsook with a narrow edge of lace on the neck , but a flounce on the bottom , by order of the extravagant wearer. A Now Kind of "Elevator Boy. " Chicago News : In all this town I know but ono woman elevator boy. Per haps elevator conductor , or dnvnr , or engineer , or manipulator , or something el o would sound better than elevator boy , hut it wouldn't bo half so commoner or expressive. This woman elevator boy is the prettiest boy I know of engaged in that field of useful ness. Shu makes her toilet carefully , dresses well and wears thu neatest of gloves. Her eyes , her hair , her lips ? I'm not going to say anything about them , nor yet a word about her com plexion , nor the soft , sweet voice in which she calls out "second" "fourth , " and the numbers of other floors. Nor yet am I going to give the namu of the building wherein she is employed , for that would not be fair to her. Already her elevator is the most popular ono in town , nnd any hour of the day you may lind hnr surrounded by admiring crowds. 'Tis really won derful the number of passengers that elevator has to carry , and the proportion of them who ndo from basement to sky light , nnd then conclude that they will go down again. Why this is so docnii'tap- peiir to bo any of our business , nnd yet the thought is obvious that hero is anpthor opportunity for woman. She makes an admirabloejovator boy. Summing Up On Occupations. Boston Record : The girls of eighteen and twenty , who aru now beginning to come forward to earn their own living in various now wtvvs , find : i much easier field than their elder sisters and their aunts who tried their hands at "battling with the world. " The world appears in so amicable a light to all young women who can do any ono thing very well whether It u to manage a type writer or a business enterprise that it is not easy to believe how ditlicult it was for a girl to find anything to do besides school teaching and sowing ten years ago. There is scarcely any world work no win which a woman may not engage , no matter how ditlicult or extraordinary , if she have the desire and talent for it. City Girls Prettier Ihan Country Girls Milwaukee Wisconsin : It is ono of the principles of modern sentiment that line complexions are a country product. Pink nnd white faces are invariably connected with fluids and farm houses and a fair and blooming akin is counted the coun try girl's heritage in contradistinction to that of her town sister. The country girl has not only not abettor complexion than the town girl she has a decidedly worsu complexion. Take a company of town girls nnd a company of country girls where will you find the smooth clear , fresh looking faces ? General ! } among the former. And the thiek , colorless , lifeless skins ? Generally among the latter. This is a fact that any oiu rtoantjr UN the HlKhoot Trump. Milwaukee Wisconsin : Beauty is the highest trump ever held in the hand < > women. Of course , alone it cannot always uxpuct to win ; admirable quail ties hold and will hold their own ngainsi it ; but other things being equal , a proth face has a long start in thu race. 1 holds nine chances out of every ton toi success in any undertakingfrom the COM elusion of a "good match1' downward I beg your highness'pardon , from thu con elusion of a good match upward.

The perjurer tells his story without a change of color : the honest witness U flushed and confused by the lawyer who Is hired to suppress truth In couits of justice. Countless roses arc snld to blush unsuen , They are very foolish. IIOXUY FOR THE Ij.VUlUS. llubles are decidedly In fashion. Wraps for summer wear are rich In Jets. Necklaces are \oryllttlo worn uowaiUjs. Lnco insertion and ribbon dicsset > are now very fashionable. The parlor Is probably the most frequented of all court rooms. Turbans remain In favor for city streets and for travel In chats. Crownlesd bonnets , worn llko nn old-fash ioned head ilre.ss , are favorites , Scarf mantle' , very convenient wraps In deed , are In favor for spring wear. Light Un-colorcd ulo\es of Danish kid are still used with dresses of any color. White lilacs arc lirst choice for bridal nose Ravs , with lilies of the valley a coed second. Plain net without dots now rivals point d'esprit with Its many dots fordiess bonnets. Ulack and whtto mixtures In stripes and bars arc seen In the nuw gros grain and faille Francniso silks. The newest tailor suits have very broad waistcoats opening over shirt fronts ot Tus- bore or China silk. Leather buttons , morocco , kid , seal , alllijo- tor anil dot ; skin , hand painted , are a new fad for btreet wear. Narrow stripes of frlse velvok In old tap estry colors aie ftemicntly seen ou grounds of heavy twilled suralis. Black Henenllne , which lias been so exten sively used for short wraps , is this season also much used tor drosses. lilnck watered silks are admirably com bined with black camels'-halr for dieases of middle-aged and elderly ladles. A suggestion of .silver throughout an entire black costume pives a a buautitul and un common ellect to this sombre dress. Paris milliners combine fancy patizo and velvet ribbons on dress lints and bonnets , adding choice mouturus ot fine flowers as aigrettes. It cost 522.50 in Hurilncton , Vt. , for n man to kiss a sirl at a depot In mlstaico lor his sKter , and now he Is sorry he did not pick otu a prettier girl. Heliotrope is undoubtedly the color of the season. There are ten different shades. Four of them are called "anemone , " two i eddish similes "plum" and tlie darkest "dahlia.

" Uev. Lymnn Heechcr's last wife was a bnnrdlUK housu keeper. Ho took two meals theio and tluin proposed ; yet borne women think It does not pay to maku boaiders com fortable. A youns Irishman , who had just an nounced Ills ougnKi'inout , was asked , "And when did vou propose ? " Faith , " said ho , "by starlight , and 1 got her answer In a tv Inkling. ' * "Indeed. It happened in less time than I take to tell It , " bald the lady , who was con sidered somewhat of a boie. "Oh , 1 haven't the least doubt ot that , " replied her patient and truthful listener. A plain-spoken lady we know well , Kell In love with Sir James Uussell Lowell , Hut when told he .s.ild "naltchah" For nature the "craltcha" Concluded the matcli wouldn't go well. A prettv teatuic of a recent wedding was the wealing of natural llowois innhljjh cluster on dress bonnets ot lace , both in black nnd white. The same decoration was also noticed upon bonnets woiu in this city on Kaster Sunday. Heliotrope cnshmcro eowns are draped ovtr crown velvet , and the log o'mutton sleeves have the deep cults of thu same vel vet. Another combination is with panels and waistcoat of sand colored Kersey cloth braided in helltrope. Sailor stiaw lints will bo popular nifaln this summer , but with ( Iliroreiit trimming. The brims are w liter nnd htrnlghter , and those ot fiuo straw are best liked. These have a broad bund [ about the ciown , loni ; stilt loops of ribbon a little to the lett nnd pointing tor- ward , with two long narrow vvlu b set in the same manner. A pretty gown worn at the festival of the year was of fawn-colored cashmere , the waist of the nolonal.se laid entirely In very line tucks. Tne sleeves were tucked to the elbow and below that to the wrist , leaving at the elbow a puff. The polonaise effect was somewhat concealed by soft sashes about the tilps , knotted on the tourmne. It has been a complaint that fashions were adapted only to queenly liguies , but thu spring st > Ics are taken from a period when a small woman was thu lender. She hired the artists of a kingdom to design patterns , combined colors to suit her petite figure ami blonde Infant type of beauty. The nigh roll of hair now worn by fashionable Indies was Madame Pompadours fashion , Intioduced to render her stature more commanding. The Scotch zephyr ginghams and crmm- breys brought out this season aio worthy ot special mention. The tufted striped ging hams have the design woven to closely tu- semblA the silk and wool stripes of last .sea son , and are shown In novel and really beau tiful combinations of color. Tno solid chaiu- brevs and ginghams are dyed In lovely shades ot pink , lilac-blue , corn color , etc. , and tht embroidered pattcins come in vari ous wldtns of llounclngs. Indoor toilets arc also of simple stylo.

Tula bodice Is very slightly open at the throat , and Is trimmed with a white lace border continued In front down to the waist ; round waistband ; tight plain sleeves , not coinlnu" down much below the elbow , For spring wear a pretty and stylish costume - tumo is of cheviot , uiado with kilt skirt , a short front drapery laid In smooth folds over the hips and almost undrapcd over the tour- nure , a plain , short basque opening at the throat to show a white-corded silk cravatand thu sleeves only slUhtly full above the elbow. The shoes should have patent leather tips , thu u'loves be four button Knglish walking gloves , with broatt stitching on the back. A white telt English walking hat , trimmed smoothly with white ribbons and \vlugscom- plete the costume. Spring walking costumes are very simple.
