It In still difficult to formulate now
irlnclpk's of fashion out of the dittos of
j'jntutivo suggestions ono sees ovory-
liVlmro. TCI tlio ott-repeiited question ,
I'Wlmtls the fashion' : " ' the Now York
l un is conHtrnlnod to answer , anything
land everything , from tlio mngnlflcenco
jof Anne of Austria to the qmiliitncssnnd
Ibiinplit'ity of the early Victorian epoch.
I Fashion H-OIIIS at present to bo sulTor-
line from a volcanic outburst of the ljhll-
llBtino Instincts which for the past dec-
1,1(1 ( o hu\o been hold in check by the line

I Tlio lelgn of economy in dress , if it
lover existed , is at an end. The new
| dresses , with their u itlu llutcd skirtH ,
I take HO inm-h material , and costly trim-
I uiings are usxscl in such lavish profusion ,
I that to bo fashionably dressed means
I more than over to be expensively
I dressed Nor does it follow , because
each toilette has increased in costliness ,
that a smaller number will bo made to
[ milllcc and thus strike a roasonaolo
i balance. Indued , to women of small
means the dress problem is a sore
I vexation this year , instead of the
frivolous pastime it is generally con-
Bidored , especially by the ungrateful
masculine observer for whoso delight
most of the trouble is taken. And yet
it la said that economy , rather titan
extravagance , in dress is what has made
tlio French women tlio best dressed in
the world It is by the careful study of
I one's own peculiarities , the caution and
goou judgment essential to the woman
who may not order a second gown if the
I llrst proves a failure , the attempt at
I originality and Individuality rather
( than inoro costliness , tlio personality of
I the careful bolectlon rather than the
blind acceptance of the modiste's vu-
1 gnries , that the finest results in eostutnes
tire obtained. So lot the women of small
means take heart of grace.

In those busy house cleaning and mov
ing days any plan that will aid the mind
I n remembering the hundred and one
[ things that must bo done will bo hailed
Ivlth I delight by muny a woman , who ,
[ .Milking her work successfully accom
plished , is quite upset by a Hash of
I thought that reveals some forgotten
, duty or necessary task left undone.
| 'io help along our tricky memories a
, little written list is of the greatest sorv
ice. Sot down from time to time as it
occurs to you what is to bo done
and mark it off when the deed
is accomplished. In keeping a memo
randum of what in to bo done , there is
an endless amount of quiet satisfaction
I to bo derived from watching its gradual
Hhortoning as ono by ono tlio little
troublesome and worrying matters are
crosed off both from paper and from the
I Jiiliul.
I Perhaps the woman with a house full
I of little ones , or homo "Martha , " wor-
5 ricd in mind a > .d body by housekeeping
Boaros , will say that they liavo not time
to jot down everything as it occurs to
them and would rather trust to memory
than go to all the fuss of writing out a
statement of their needs and require-
Eincnts. At flrat it may come hard , but
in a very little time tlio list will prove
Hone of the greatest household aids and
you will wonder how you over did without -
out it.

The wedding gowns for the brides o
spring all smack of the style of those
worn by tlio brides of 1830. At ono o
the fashionable Easter weddings colo-
bruted in Boston the bride's dross was
of duchess brocade , the skirt out with
full court train , onclrclod with a fine
Hholl trimming. The bodies , cut postil-
ion , was pointed back and .front with
jeweled garniture of luce caught in
I front with a cluster of pearls and o.x-
tending over the shoulders with ample
fullness to the waist and caught there
with corresponding fullness. The
Hloovos wore pulled to the elbow , with a
iloho-lltting cull' to tlio wrist of the style
of 18iO. ; The dross of tbo maid of honor
was white , full Hare skirt , \walking \
length , trimmed with a series of
vwrrow rulllcs. Tlio bodice was low
out back and front and trimmed
with a double rufllo of loco ,
with short bouffant sleeves , Tlio bridesmaids -
maids all wore dresses of brooho bilk of
an exquisite shade of pink lavender , a
happy digrcbsion from the usual pink ,
blue or yellow gowns , made in the old-
fiuhiori'id style which is again so popular -
lar skirts full with
, crinoline and a
blight train ; three ruohings around the
fikirt and a rosette of narrow ribbon on
each niching , so placed as to suggest a
H diagonal line to the waist. The bodice
was made with a seamless back , and the
front formed of soft folds of the silk ;
neck V-shaped , trimmed with a deep >
llouneing of Indian crepe ; sleeves , throe i
I large pulTs.
| A novelty In the way of bridesmaid's
favors at this same wedding was a gold
chain bracelet , locked with a padlock ,
I the key of which the bride is to keep
until each bridesmaid is married.

A costume of much simplicity recently
made in Paris , and destined to bo worn

plaits ) and just escapes the ground.
About fourteen inches from tlio belt
the plaits are conllned by a band of narrow -
row mignonette-colored velvet ribbon ,
with bows of the bamo six Inches apart.
Below this band the plaits are allowed
to spread out fan-like , and have a very
pretty , graceful effect.
The bodice is laid In surplice plaits in
front , which cross the bust and fasten at
the bidet It is cut V shape , a little
rouncjed at the points , however , both
back and front , and there is a gulmpo of f
old liico , with high collar covered with
six rowx of pearl beads.
Tlio sleeves show a largo puft from the
shquldor , ol mignonette-colored velvet ,
with tight sleeves below , reaching to
thtvjvrjst , Of the pink crepe material.
There are deep bulls of white lace ,
and a frill or bertha of lace bordering
the V of the corsage , and graduated bo
that the widest part falls over , the pull
of the sleeve , and becomes narrower
until it reaches the waist line both back
ana front and disappears within the narrow -
row girdle of mignonette velvet.

Mrs. Agnond'Arcambal , n member of
the National Prison association and of
the National Association of Corrections
and Charities , has done n vast amount
of work to help discharged convicts in
Michigan. She began her labors twen
ty-six jcanngo In the county jail nt
Kalamuzoo , where she was then living ,
doing what she could for the men while
in nonMncmcnt , and getting them work
and keeping thorn straight after their
release. She now lives in Detroit , and
through her efforts a homo for dis
charged convicts has been established.
This homo has been the refuge for 000
men , and of these , ! she pays , 00 per
cent are now living honorable , upright
lives. Mrs. d'Arcambal docs a great
deal of personal work in the state
prisons and House of Correction and the
men learn to respect her there and to
know that she stands ready to help them
when their sentence is expired. When
she learns that a man has left wife and
children , as is sometimes the case , she
starts out to hunt them up perhaps the
uifo is in the poor house and the
daughter in a brothel , and yet she per
suades them to take up life anew with
tlio husband and father at the time of
his release. She routs a little room ,
bogs furniture to make it habitable , and
brings together the long bepurated
iiiomlxjr of the family , and by every ono -
o mrngoment and help possible keeps
them in the path of rectitude.
There are few moro uncomfortable
and unwieldy things than the ordinary
extension dining table. The rack to
hold the leaves is a nuisance , the joints
are always coming apart , and the entire
article is likely to grow shaky and un
manageable.
It is suggested that the leaves of the
table bo arranged somewhat after tlio
fashion of the sliding shutters to stores.
Tlio could bo wound on u cylinder and
run in like the roll-tap desk. A very
little extremely- simple mechanism
would sulllco to control those leaves ,
which could bo in narrow sections or
bars. If accurately fitted or adjusted
there would bis no difllculty in managing
a table made in this way , and the saving
of labor and the convenience of the now
arraniromont would bo great indeed.
Who has not taxed the arms almost
beyond endurance by pulling and tug
ging to lift the leaves into the average
table ? Such a do-vico would allow of
leaves having far less weight , and these
could be so adjusted that the ugly space
at tlio side of a table when partly ex
tended could ba done away with. It is
quite time that some improvement woJe
made in this article of furniture , for
surely progress in this line for the last
half century has been very little to
speak of.
By all means pivo us a dining table
with an arrangement on the general
principle of the roll-top cylinder desk.

In the Popular Science Monthly Ed
ward Trcgar tells how the Maoris of
New Zealand court. "The girl , " ho
says , "generally bngan the courting ,

letter fall at the feet of a lover it was
a little bit of 11 UK made into a half-knot.
'Yes' was made by pulling tlio knot
tight ; 'no,1 by leaving the matrimonial
noose alone. Sometimes in the wharo
matoro ( the wooing house ) , a building
in which the young of both boxes assem
bled for play , songs , dances , etc. , there
would be at stated times a mooting ; when
the tires burned low a girl would stand
up in the dark and say : 'I love So-und
So I want him for my husband.1 If ho
coughed ( sign of assent ) or baid 'yos,1 it
was well ; if only dead silence she cov
ered her head with her robe and was
ashamed. Tills was not often , as she
generally had managed to ascertain
( either by her own inquiry or by sending
a girl friend ) if tlio proposal was ac
ceptable. On the other hand , some
times a mother would attend and say :
'I want So-and-So for my son. ' If not ac
ceptable there was a general mocking ,
and she was told to lot the young people
luivo their house ( the wooing hoiibo ) to
themselves.

The Episcopal church has never shown ,
says the Now York Sun , much truce of
the modern spirit which calls woman
man's equal , and which would give her
the same say and vote in the appoint
ment of clergymen , the fixing of salaries
and the spending of money. Bishop
Williams of Connecticut was consequently
quently surprised to got a petition from
Trinity parish in Seymour , endorsed by a
number of the male members asking that
tlio women might have the privilege of
voting on the affairs of the church
The veteran bishop , with the old-time
courtesy which distinguishes him , pro
tested bis icgard for the fair practi
tloncrs , and said that ho would bo delighted
lighted so far as ho was concerned , bui
regretted that the canons barred the
way. The women , however , are going
to light , and the whole question will bo
brought before the next diocesan con
vention , which meets next month. The
result will bo awaited with interest by
those who do and by those who do no
favor the ubiquity of woman tia a factor
in mutt 3iti not strictly domestic.

The Gorman bride wears the myrtle
for her bridal wreath , while the girl of
the Black Forest adorns herself with the
Mower of the hawthorne. In Franco and
England and in the United States the
orange llower Is in vogue , while the
maidens of Italy and the French prov
inces of Switzerland use white roses.

by Spanish brides. In Lithuania the
bridal wreath is wound of the Syrian
rue , on thu Ionian islands the gratm
vine , in Bohemia , Corinthia and the
Krain districts of rosemary , and in

bans tire added. In Norway , Sweden
and Sorvia bridal crowns are made of
silver , In Bavaria and Silesia of gold
wire , glass beads and tinsel , among the
Fins , the Worms and the peasants of
Altonburg of paper , and in Athens of
costly filigree. Bridal wreaths wore In
vogue among the pagans and wore \n \
troduced among Christian brides during
the fourth century.
Mrs. Jonnoss Miller made some state
ments to a Kansas City reporter for
which her sex may feel inclined to take
her to taslc. "Don't you know , " bald the
fair dress reform enthusiast , "that n
woman can bo bettor reached through
her looks than through her Intelligence ?
Don't you know that the average woman
in society cares moro for her appearance
than for her soul's salvation ? Why , I
liavo known hundreds of women who
ivould rather oommlt suicide than bo-
omo passoo. I know this , for I have
-nado women a study. " Even the cynical
Schopenhauer said nothing severer
.bout the fair sex than that.

A prize was recently offered by the
Denver Sun for the best solution of the
problem of how to keep husbands homo
at night. The pri/o was awarded to the
writer of the following : "A Quaker
advised his son to keep his eyes wide
open when courting ; after marriage to
keep them half shut. If you did not act
on the first part of the advice , try the
latter. Study your husband's disposi
tion and bo sure to make a thorough
study of your own. Try using a little
tact and a good deal of consideration for
his wishes and feelings and see if you
can not teach him to be more considerate
of yours. Business is trying. Men like
peace at homo. If possible , manage not
to bo worn out. Bo cheerful. Don't
yorry. Don't scold. "

Queen Victoria has not worn corsets
for many years. Princess Beatrice fol

also discarded the corset.
The genuine leg-o'-mutton sleeve
seems to bo i evived afresh. The tops

A plaited collar of velvet from beneath
which falls a double row of lace flounc
ing with velvet tabs edged with luce , is
a now model for a spring wrap.
Silk waists with surplice fronts are
