Women us Collector * .
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 :

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

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.

Uev. Lymnn Heechcr's last wife was a

A prettv teatuic of a recent wedding was
the wealing of natural llowois innhljjh

Heliotrope cnshmcro eowns are draped

Sailor stiaw lints will bo popular nifaln this

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

the throat , and Is trimmed with a white lace
border continued In front down to the

For spring wear a pretty and stylish costume -
tumo is of cheviot , uiado with kilt skirt , a

rical ventutes ot these artists lor a number
of years. Hereafter neither Mr. or Mrs.

"Krmlnio" seems to boa foreign adaptation
of Gilbert and Sullivan's popular Ideas , and
proves that the mine of those piosperous
oriclnatois Is ! practically lnu < chaustiblo. for
In "Ermlnio"ivvehavea Wattenu addition
lalsod on their foundation. The two ronties ,
who are the Ufa 'of the opera , are strongly
Migeestivc of the Ko-kn element wo were In
troduced to in the "Mikado , " and the twain
would seem tb have a piofesslonal career be
fore them In their line , ot which Mr. Daboll
is the most attractive exponent , Mr. Solo-
mou's "Cadeaux" being perhaps a trifle too
broad In Its burlesque. It Is a pity that Eng
lishwomen can not be substituted as easily
for Ainerlcaiuos 'as Kugllshmuu for Ameri
cans.
Extensive prepiratlons are under way at St.
( ieorco , htaten Island , for the representation
of "Tho Fall of llabylon. " The scenery Is at
least bound to bujblg , for some of It Is as high
ns a six story house. It Is thu propoity of the
order of Cinctuuntus , of Cincinnati , and live
trains of specially.constructed railroad cars
w 111 brine It to Staten Island. There will bo
a stace ot tremendous proportions , and It Is
said that 1,000 persons tire to takn part In the
spectacle , arrayed In armor and costumes.
Electric lUht.s , with calciums , will bo used to
produce stage effects. Open air ballots will
bu seen. The chorus of the American Opera
company has been secured and an agent Is
now In Europe securing othur talent. The
audience will bo 3V ) teet from the show , that
distance being necessary to thu full apprecia
tion ot'lts grandeur.
. This wan how a gentleman got his wife
when , in a tobacconist shop , ho asked a
girl behind the counter , who happened
to have red hair , if die would oblige him
with a match. "With pleasure , if you
will have a red-beaded one , " she
promptly repliedwith such a suggestive ,
demure smite , that eventually the red-
beaded match was handed over , .
