Aa a general thing Jthero was a disposition to guy such geamplcs of a reformed dross as were Bilio coifgrcss. 3 Even those who pretend to holiovo 3Unit women need seine more rational " "dross than slio now wears laughed up tthclr pulTed alcoves at the offerings , Bind while they applauded the genius of ftho inventor of each costume and the hardihood and pluck exhibited in wear ying it. they indicated but little intention ! adopting it. From another source wo learn that Now York was this week startled by the flown that Mrs , Flower , wife o ( B. O. Flower , editor of the Arena , was wear ing bloomers in broad daylight to the delighted surprise of the young and I Irreverently curious element of the street population of the good city of jBoston. Then came the electrifying tidings 3th at Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery had Humped up on a chair to display her ' ' 'Syrian trousora" to the congress of ( "representative women" now assemhlod in the windy wilds of the World's fair. The next day Vho feminine portion of the city gasped and began pulling their scattered wits together , and by the end of the week womankind was prepared to disutibs the situation intelligently. Are bloomers coming in again ? Mrs. Frank Leslie said : "I do not see the sense in trying to make ourselves ridiculous. I am a business woman and como down to my olllce day after day loaded down with parcels , and am very much bothered trying to hold up my dress and take care of them , but as you soo" mid she got up and showed a French contrivance of hooks and eyes which lifted the bkirts oft" the lloor be hind "I nmimiro to keep my dress up while out of doors. When I am in the Ofllco I lot it down , and there you aro. "I made desperate war on the drag- ping bell skirt when it first came out , but I have ended by adopting it , for I believe in following fashion slavishly , and if these Syrian trousers ever become fashionable for it is only fashion that makes things pretty I will wear thorn. You bee T am partly ilxcd for them now" thrusting out a dainty foot shod in a high laced boot of the style worn with the bloomer ' ' do " costume 'I not know , she continued , "whether anything might not be hotter than the enormous sleeves , &nd full skirts wo wear now. I often , think of the Japanese who came to this : ountry when hoops were in and thought American women were built on a dillor- , nt plan from thoirs. I wonder if they 'aw us now for the llrst time what they roulcl think of our atrocious shoulders , nd sleeves ? "But American women have a very in- onvonient habit of growing stout as hey grow older , and they would look ucor enough in the Syrian costume ion. " * Mrs. Ruth G. D.llavens of Washi'ng- 6n recently formulated for the Society \Vimodaughais f a most intorchting irospcotUH for the "girl of the future. " "This girl of the now era , " says Mrs. lavuus , "if she marries , will bo bet free y co-operative methods from house- 3i lold drudgery. Half the families on a > quaro will enjoy one luxurious , woll- ippolntcd dining room , whore the ox- ) enses will 1x3 divided among the fain- HOB ami whore excellent cooking and wholesome diet will bo served. Wo are passing dangerously through the era of uiinml bucrillco , Hwcetonod starch , lolled dough and celluloid pie. The girl of the future will abandon thcbo nouns of suicide and adopt a wholo.somo , natural diet , largely of the fruits which | comc to us in such orderly succession ind generous abundance. "House cleaning will cense to bo a augaboo , for the house of the future will DO cleaned by companies organlxed for the purpose , and will ho the work of u day Instead of the labor of weeks. Its results will bo a souse of freshness and Immunity from disease instead of a buck- ache , nervous prostration , collupbo and tin influx of patent medicines. "Tho girl of the future will soleot hoi- own avocation.

Matches are satisfactory already. Cooking will bo when cooks choogo their profession for love of it and are trained , and paid , and honored , and people are lined who cook without know ing how. The dressmaker , by prepara tion , will bo ail artist , and the girl of the future will not como apart at unsea sonable times in public places. "So it will ' Bi'om that , although a minority of the girls of the future will eomotimes ohooso and prepare to bo as tronomers or civil engineers instead of housekeepers , the house of the future and the husband and iti all eases lie [ > spoils it with a big H will not be loft to the moroy of incompetent and ox- iujpcrutlng servants. The house helper of the future will not be incompetent , because the development and training of woman for her beat uud truest work will hnro extended to hor. She will preside lint your kitchen with skill ixud science , nnd you will not pay her Sfl n month and offer her a precarious Ironing board across ' I wo chairs for n bod. " Clarn Foil/ , the well known lawyer , is a Han Francisco woman whoso income roaches the $10,000 limit. Unlike her predecessor , the "Portia of the 1'a- clllc" went through a hard and exhaust ing struggle to oblntn her profession and present standing , for she is ono of the five female lawyers admitted to practice before the supreme court. While yet a young girl a noted phre nologist , seeing her walk across the room , exclaimed : "Therol that girl is cut out for a lawyer ; every movement is characteristic. " After her marriage the many lognl troubles in which her husband bocnino involved attracted her attention to the law as affecting married womon. Later on , when she found herself alone , penni less and with flvo children dependent upon her , she began her legal studios in earnest. Every ono will remember how Mho compelled the law school to admit her to their lectures , pot the legislature at Sacramento to modify the state constitution so as to permit women to follow nny legitimate calling or profession , and finally was received at the bar. Mrs. Foil ? has a wonderful gift of oratory and Is in great demand us a speaker upon social or political sub jects. Tall , graceful and slender , with exquisite red-gold hair , fair complexion and wonderful brown eyes , she is an emi nently attractive woman She is a proud and devoted mother , and amid all the interruptions of tin arduous life she has carefully superin tended the training and education of her children. She has introduced suc cessfully several bills in the legislature , the latest having been passotl and become - come a law within the last few weeks. It is known us the prisoner's parole bill , and is of a reformatory nature. She is n lover of dainty , artistic dross and ro- flncd surroundings and is essentially feminine in her aUlro. " | All the little maids and mon who have followed the fortunes of little Miss Mullet and Dickie Dilvor , who have known Mother Hubbard and laughed at Ilumpty Dumpty's misfortunes , may like to hear that the Mother Geese rhymes wore reullv made for little children by a dour old lady whoso name was GoOse , who lived with a family named Fleet that kept a little shop in Pudding lane , Boston. Could a more appropriate place of residence for Mother Geese bo found than Pudding lane unless , porchanco. there is such a locality as Pie alloy ? And this dear old lady used to ait on the sidewalk outside the window and make up doggerels for the little Fleet urchins. She hud a sweet note in her soft old voice and a way of crooning these rhymes and tunes that attracted all the children in the lane , and brought much custom to the shop Indirectly. So the shopkeeper , at the request of his patrons , printed the rhymes and gave them away , and in this way the old lady became known as Mother Goose , and her quaint doggerel became the dearest treasure of nurso.'y lore. The old lady , whoso verses ono would rather have written than all the classics , because they have been so greatly Deloved by lit tle children , is buried in the Granary cemetery , not far from the grave of Paul Revere. The stone at the head of the grave has crumbled , but wild violets and ferns mark her resting place. * * * If a little woman wants to look tall lot her wear a little light hut or bonnet ; if n tall girl is too tall she can look u head shorter under a big dark hat. This is on the principle of putting a sky frieze and a white ceiling in a little low roomer or bringing down a lofty salon with a dec orated ceiling , u dark frieze and heavy moulding. Black millinery goods are not only.ugly but depressing and trying to the complexion. Dark blue , brown and green chips are good , and light straws are hotter. White is for bonny youth , but nearly every face will brighten up under the natural willow and straw colors , pro vided the brim is daintily faced and the trimming is artistic. For instance , got a munila straw , put some dotted not for a facing ever the eyes , and with looped velvet' or ribbon and some bows of ribbon , grass or corn leaves , the olTect will bo good. Mignonette , the poet's rose , is charming with brown or blue ; maiden-hair ferns on a chip of rough- and-ready is a quaint and uncommon selection , and a posy of light little rose buds is a good style nt any season of the year. The tall girl can use luce to fall over the llowers and brim , a privilege denied the little women who are pre tentious. * * It has ao long boon our natural boast that , although still denied the ballot , nowhere do women enjoy such freedom , that it may surprise seine persons to know that Persian women boast that in their country mon do the work , and women enjoy the results. They at least have moro. freedom than is generally - ally supposed by their American sistors. The requirements of a Persian house hold are comparatively few ; fruits ana salads form a largo proportion of the diet ; the warm climate dispenses with many articles necessary in America , and the rare changes in fashion save an in credible amount of labor. In the aude- room , or woman's part of the house , the girls are taught to read , to sow and to play the zither , and as they marry at 12 or III their parents are early relieved of all cure of their future. * When Olfio Teall was asked his views on the trouser question for women ho boomed very much amused. "You won't wonder that 1 laugh , " ho 'said , "when I tell you that there was a man at my of- llco this afternoon asking mo what I thought about mon adopting knee- breeches for evening wear , and now you ask mo what I think about the women adopting the same thing. I really think it would bo a god&ond to seine , but a real misfortune if others not quite so fortunate in the symmetry of their nether limbs hud to put them on. Of course , the real Syrian costume ia not so very short ; btill , seri ously speiiklng , if any ouo conies to my olllco dressed up in a suit of the new kind I will bo glad to pass an opinion , but until I have scon a pretty woman wearing the coatume I should he sorry to puss any opinion on its merits or de merits. * * * Bryn Muwr college has boon called thu Woman's Johns Hopkins , for her requirements are high , and she is one of the few colleges that will not accept certificates of scholarship except the certificate from the Harvard examina tion for women , and thin is counted only NO far as it may cover the ground. Al though the college has been in existence but eight years , HO per cent , of her graduates are engaged in post graduate work. In each gruduuting class the student whose scholarship ia highest receives $5000 to enable her to purmio her studies for a year in some foreign university , Nine fellowships are also in the gift of the college , and no depart ment in the institution ia open in which pottt-graduato as well as undor-graduuto work may not bo obtained. * There Is in the world just one woman trainer of race horses. Tlila isun Kuglish woman , Mrs. Chatlunor , the widow and the sister of well known jockeys , Whoa her husband died she know how to manage his training establishment , and successfully continued his business. Her eldest son is a trainer and the four younger ones are allgood Jockeys , 'iholr mother is an excellent horsewoman and goes out on the heath at Newmarket every morning to see her horses do their work. Would-ho purchasers of horses often seek her opinion. * There Is a woman in Sltka , known as Princess Tom , who is very rich. She at one time had three husbands , but has become Christianized and has discarded two. Slio is an extensive trader , and has several largo canoes , in which she transports goods from Sitka to the In terior and exchanges them with the na tives for furs. She la known all over Mu8kaund wears upon her arms twenty or thirty gold bracelets made out of 820 gold pieces. The natives alsotraco their genealogy through the female branch of the family , and the inherit ance comes through the mother's side. For instance , if a chief should die , leav ing a son , his sister's son or nephew would stuccoed in authority , and not'hls own son. The women are not slaves , as in the Indian tribes in this country , out exercise a great deal of authority. Th1 women emulate their sox in civilized countries hi their affectation of bright and gaudy colors , and most of the money that they receive is invested In bright- colored goods and shawls. Note * . Dark red heavy gloves are worn with | the blue serge traveling and outing suits that are moro than ever popular. White sailor hats are if possible jaun tier than ovor. They are trimmed with whlto ribbon and bunches of violets or , roses. I Wide leather bolts rounded out on the upper edge and fastened with several small straps are shown for wear by young girls. Largo round collars of whlto linen lawn eight inches deep , widely rounded in the back and fastened in front by three linked gold buttons , with culls to match , are much in vogue. A little newer than the cut-class bowls are those of clear glass decorated with gilt. Some of the shapes are mar- velouslv pretty , with wide , sweeping months trimmed with a border of clouded gold. Forks have superseded teaspoons for all eatables , the latter being relegated strictly to the conveying of drinkables to the mouth , and not too much of that. In factitho teaspoon is rather a useless article on the modern table. Collarettes of heavy meshed black or ecru not , trimmed on the edge with satin ribbons and having a full , triple box plaited ruche ns a neck finish , will bo worn with summer frocks. They are coquettish and generally becoming1. A novelty for a summer gown is made of huckabuck towels , with llowerod bor ders and hemstitched hems. The border - , dor is used for the foot trimming and | the yoke for the round waist. An Eton jacket or bluzer is worn with this frock on cool days. Ono la much struck this season by the prevalence of black for dross trimming and combination. Black satin isthe-favor- ito garniture for all colors and styles of frock , and black satin folds trim nearly half the dress skirts on cheap and ele gant fabrics alike. The hair worn low at the back of the head gives a youthful appearance to the face. So does a half-circle bang. On the contrary , the back hair combed up to tha crown of the head or a fringe that shades the forehead only and not down upon the temples , is ageing in its effect and becoming to very few. Bolero jackets of the most elaborate description are worn. Rare eastern stulTs are used for those coquettish ad juncts to otherwise plain gowns. They are made of leather , heavily embroi dered and studded with mock gems. Sometimes they are entirely of jot and weigh anywhere from throe to five pounds. A novelty has been introduced by a Boston woman that bids fair to become a mania in the cultured society of that city. She has a complete breakfast service of cups , saucers , and plates for her largo family on which are given , from photographs , the likeness of the members , so that the servant can prop erly place the china to bo used. A Scotch screen is a novelty of the season. It ia three paneled , rather small , and mounted in French walnut or muhogany. The center panel ia cov ered with clan plaid , and on it is mounted the full regalia of the High lander , including the silver thistle for the cap , the sash clasp , the wide pouch , and his offensive and defensive weapons , the revolver and knife. Bordered chnllies are among the choicest novelties in dress goods. A cunury-yollow challis is figured with black crosses and has a white border bearing a design in black resembling Berlin work , and a navy-blue ground marked with printed black crosses has a red border upon which a design , also suggesting cross-stitch embroidery , is printed in blue and white. Mourning is not as uncompromisingly black and sombre as was once the fashion. Soft folds of tulle and mousse- line do sole are worn at the throat oven with the deepest mourning. Widows' bonnets have strings of corded white ribbon nearly a finger wide , a fashion much in vogue in Franco where mourn ing is as artistically managed us are all other matters pertaining to appropriate and becoming costuming. The umbVolla of today is indeed a thing of beauty and a very natty ad junct to u smart toilot. Dark ruby red with u porcelain handle studded with rhinestones is especially favored. Blue shot silk covers are accompanied by lupsls lazuli and Dresden china handles. Upon the latter are dainty little land scapes , artistically costumed rustic swains or old time gallants and beauties with powdered hair and patches. Sash curtain ? ! are moro used than ovor. They glvo a dainty , well dressed appear ance to the windows from the outside and are useful as screens. Japanese Bilk and silk muslins are a favorite material , for their ohiof charm is in their fresh ness and simplicity. There is nothing moro suitable than dotted or plain inus- lin , with frills of the sumo down the in ner edges and across the bottom. Fine scrim , with broad hems or with frills of washable lace , are also particularly sat- iafuctory. Sash curtains may bo full or half length , shirred or plain , divided at the center or whole , looped back at the sides or drawn on the rod , however indi vidual taste distutes. Mrs. Cleveland had a beautiful Rod- fern gown sent her the other day. It was a walking toilet of gray fancy woolen material , trimmed with black and white chocked braid , Round the bottom of the skirt was a llounce put on with deep plaits. Above the plaits was placed a row of braid. The same braid went round the tunic , which remained a little open in the middle of the front and formed two great paints at the back. The bodice was of cuirass style and trimmed with braid , and the sleeves had rovera to match. A surprise party ia in store for the admirers of the first lady of the land and it is said that little Ruth may have her nose put out of joint. The hostess of a luncheon often re grets , as bho pauses before her mirror for u final glance , that she may not com plete her toilet with a dainty creation of lace and flowers , BWlhffts she knows will rest on the colfturdJoi oaoh ono of her guests , but until lately she ban forborne , and resignedly loft-tho "lovo of a bon- not" in its box. Somg recent hostesses , however , have worn'bonnets ' at their own tables , and nolmn more ingenious ono is told of , who sought and found the * happy mean between an unadorned head and an out-of-door ddvoring In a charmIng - Ing little head-dress of Inco and ribbon that was both coquettish and becoming , which was all thati itv expected of the bonnets. * n > , Would you like in know what's the typical dross of thoB < ? ason , the ono thing that's particularly up to date and marks you beyond all question as not made ever , but now ? Well , it's a tiny black and white silk check with a skirt that spreads and spreads , more especially bo- hind. Tli 'co broad black satin bands are laid diagonally around the skirt from the waist on the right down to the left at the bottom. The bodice has a pointed black satin vest coming down to the waist line , with black satin sleeve puffs and scalloped shoulder brotolloa , narrow in front and becoming enor mously wide on the shoulders. Below the shoulder puds the sleeves are plain and tight fitting. A blnck satin waist ribbon , and the skotoh is done. Do you like it ? But after all , that doesn't mat- tor. Fashion is fashion , and that's the end. end.At At a recent wedding the eight brides maids were dresses of white cropon trimmed round the skirts with lace and insertion , panuy colored velvet forming the ; collars and bodice belts , with deep frills of lace ever the shoulders , and big hats trimmed with lace and purple pan- slcs. . They carried bouquets of purple pansies , and double white carnations and were the groom's gifts of enamel and diamond pansy brooches. At another fashionable wedding the bridesmaids , ton in number , made a lovely picture about the altar , in gowns of pink crepe do chine , with white satin sashes and collars. With these gowns were worn largo white Tuscan straw hats , with white laid on the broad brims , and trimmed with white oatrich tins , pink roses and a bow of moss-green velvet. They carried largo bouquets of uhik roses tied with white satin ribbon. " I'uiiiliilno Notes. Of the 200 students at Colby university bixty-livo are women.

A Tribe of ( Ipi.ulnn Hahnrau A ruin Mi-ought In Thu Country , Travelers amid the sands of the great Sahara hava told in picturesque lan guage , of tke marvelous skill and muscu lar agility Of the desert-roving Arabs. The strange , nomadic life of the Bedouins , whoso history antedates the Christian era , and whose forefathers conducted their caravans of richly-laden " ' dromedaries across Africa's great sand sea when the coming of Christ was but a prophecy , has always had a poetic interest for the people of civil ized lands. Several times efforts have been made to bring a troupe of these roving people * to America , but never 'with success until this year. The so-called / Arabs hitherto cxhlb- MA1IOMK1'I'ASHA Ited in this country have boon thoroughly civilized and in no way representative of the curious , wild desert tribes. The only genuine Arabs In this country at the present time are a do/wii or moro on ex hibition at the World's fair in Chicago and a troupe brought to America by agents of Rlngllng Brothers' circus. The latter comprises an entire tribe of lithe , sinewy , durk-hued Saharan Arabs. They are under the direction of Si Has san Bon All , for many years director of amusements in the service of the sultan of Morocco. Their pcriormunco cannot , bo compared to any act with which the American public Is familiar , because it is utterly unlike any thing ever before seen in this country. Their strength and agility is astonish ing. One performer' ' sustains a half score of his fellows group ed In a pyramid ono HA.IA/.BT HAM ID. ubovo the other. They all turn double somersaults , leaping from the ground. Their vaulting suggests the flight of birds rather than the movements of human beings. Their dexterity in manipulating lire arms almost surpasses belief. The wild abandon exhibited in their performance could not bo iiiitated by a European acrobat. Included in the tribe is a sheik who , in his own country , is looked upon as a great leader among the people. His name is Mahomet Paaha. His principal advisors in the tribe are Bajazet Humid , Hassan Bey , Amurath AH , Othman Pasha , Achmet Bey , Mustupha , Mah- moud ami Abbas. These strange visitors HASSAN HEY. after they had left their native land , and even yet they avail themselves of every opportunity to sleep in the open air or under thojlight protection of a light canvas tent. Although they are provided with a luxurious special couch in which to sleep , they are never so well satisfied as when the circus re mains over night in a city , and thus gives them an opportunity to sleep under the can vas. vas.Thn Thn Bnilniiins n.rn n. from the Orient are accompanied by their ' families and a' num ber of attendant aluvoa. They follow in America all the curious customs that give thorn such a ro mantic interest to ktravelers in northern Africa. None of them ever slept under a roof until very clannish people , AMUUATH AM ! and keep strictly to themsolvos. They consider themselves a super ior race and being believers in the teachings of the koran , they look upon the others as heathens. No other class of people approaches them in the care they take of their per sons. They are cleanly to an exceptional degree and bathe several times a day when the opportunity offers. They are also wonderfully devout. Morning and evening they render up their devotions ( to Allah. Prostrate , with their faces to ward the cast , as is the invariable M o- hummedan custom , they prcr > ont a picture of Oriental devotion strangely unique to western eyes. T h o roughe.it m o n soon learn to respect them a n d their relitrion , ' ' * and are insensibly in- ACHMET HEY. fiuencod by their de votional fervor. The remarkable dexterity and agility of the Arabs is owing to the fact that they begin to practice their marvelous acrobatic feats in childhood , and never weary in the tusk of perfecting thorn- solves for their profession. Their feats of dexterity represent a lifetime of in cessant practice. For that reason they are unequalled as performers.
