"As It IH a fad at presont'to keep children childish as" long us possible , and one lot us tiopo that will not 'go out' again while the sun shines , It Is desirable to have children dressed with a certain emphatic degree of simplicity. You can say that It Is u sure sign of the stylish mother and that she Is of assured position if her children are dressed neatly ontl simply. Of course the material ! ' may bu as expansive as desired so there Is nothing loud in thev makeup. "Children will wear capes rather than coats this winter , and this Is a style that Is sure to bo more or lens lasting , as a child will not outgrow a cuno so quickly as a coat , and they arc certainly muro graceful on the little figures. A very natty Idou was a capo of red military cloth consist Ing of one long capo reachti Ing below the waist and two smaller ones , the longest of which just fell over the shoulders. All were edged with rows of stitching , with narrow bunds of fur or trimmed with brnld In contrasting color.

" * 4ft # Kxtrenu.'ly interesting are tnu stories of liHrom life in Slum told by Mrs.A. II. Laonowons , an Kngllsh woman , I.o" I.o spent six yours ut the court of the lute * king , She was employed as governess for the Icing's children , pixty-flvo in number , the present king being ono of ; her best pupils. Her description of the ulty of Nuiig Harm , or Veiled Women , is full of interest. The 11,000 Inhabi tants of this city , which in inclosed is tle ) inner of two parallel walls around the royal imluco , are all women and children. No inuu , wwo the king utid priest , dares ever outer its precincts. Hero live the royal princes , the wives and foumlu relatives of the king , with their numerous slaves and attendants , CtmutHitlng the city with the two pal aces are covered entrances for the \\omuii. At the cud of each of these pas sages is a bus-relief representing the head ot a sphinx with a nword through the mouth nnd with this inscription : "Bettor that a sword bo thrust through thy mouth than that thou utter a word ngalnst Him who ruloth on high. " Not far off are the barracks of the Amazons , the women's hall of justice , nnd the dungeon" , where female judges dally administer justice to the inhabitants of this woman's city. There is nlso a temple , a gymnasium nnd a theater , where the great Indies assemble in the afternoon to gossip , play games or watch the dancing glrla. In this city live alsb the mechanical slaves who ply their trades for the bonoa fit of their mistresses. It la , in fact , a city , it has its own laws , Us judges , police , guards , prisons , teacher * and mechanics. Every function is oxorclscd by women , and by women only. The women of the harem amuse themse selves In the early nnd late hours ot the day by gathering llowors in the palace gardens , feeding the birds and goldel Ilshes , twining garlands for the heads of the children , listening to reading by slaves : , and especially In bathing. When the heat Is not oppressive they plunge Into the the pretty , retired lakes , swim01 mine and diving like Hooks of brown water fowl. They play at chess , cards and dice , and some of them are decldas cdly ( skillful. Mrs. Loonowens describes a trial for witchcraft which occurred while she was at the palace. It seems that durIn Ing the king's absence a beautiful princess disappeared from the harem , and in her place remained only a deaf and dumb slave girl. The day of the trial three women , half stupefied by tbo foul air of the damp cell in which they had been imprisoned , were conducted to tno great court hall of the temple , where the trial for wlohcraft was to take place. A procession of royal astrologers , wizards and witches , who receive handsome salaries from the king , filed into the temple and took their places. Then eamu the chief judge ] i of the supreme court and his secretary to report the trial lo the king , The prisoners when brought in proved to bo May-Poah , who was the deaf and dumb changling , and the two handmaidens - maidens of the princess. They wore guarded by fifty Amazons. The crowd , who loiikod upon May-Penh as a vorlto able witch , was breathless with cxpccii tation. Conch shells were now blown to summon the holy man of thot woods , who soon appeared on the opposite bank of the river , plunged into it and came and look his nlaco beside the prisoners , This strange mortal , who lived the life of an orang-outang , had a remarkably fine , honsitlve luce and was always called lo aid the court in its spiritual examinations. At the command of the judge the two Amazons , who wore on duty the night of the abduction , testified that a ( all , dark figure , with a dagger in i one hand and a ponderous bunch of keys 1 < In thu other , had entered the hall , They saw her go to the cell of the princess j , open it with ono of the myste rious keys , nnd load her forth. As they were paralyzed and unable to move from the spot , tiio strange figure reappeared , passed j by them quickly into the cell , and'closed the door. To the questions of the wizards May-Poah returned no answer. At a signal an alarm gong was struck immediately behind her , and , being taken by surprise , she turned to see whence the sound came. The wily judges then shouted , "It is plain that you can speak , for you are not deaf " She was forthwith condemned to all the torchcrs t of the rack. The holy man of the t woods on hearing this uttered a wild cry of "Yah" ( forbear ) , and de clared that she was powerless to speak because 1 under the influence of witch craft. Ono of the wise women suggested that I tiomo magic water should bo poured into her mouth. On opening it they fell back with horror and cried : 'Brahma ! Brahma ! an evil fiend has torn I out her tongue. " Immediately the unhappy i woman became the object of pity , and oven of adoration. The cere mony i of exorcism was gone through , and i faho and her companions wore fully acquitted i of any complicity with the devil i , each receiving a sum of money and i being set at liberty. May-Poali's friondb afterward told Mrs. Loonowons that it was she who had terrified the Amazons , released the princess and led her to a boat in which , were the lover prince and two friends ! " As there was not room for all May-Poah refused to leave the companions of her beloved mistress , and full of terror lest by dread ful torture which she know awaited her , she might bo forced to betray those who wore dearer to her than her life , she with ono Htrplco of her dagger deprived herself of the power of over uttering an intelligible sound. A whispered prophesy was vouchsafed the other day by a certain hair dresser. Ho Is not t > no of the bustlii..r { , talkative variety , but is pompous and of few words , carrying an atmosphere of deep knowledge about him. Ills utterances are so weighty that they bc'em to strike the very bottom of tbo well where sits 'JLYuth. Still , the best of men and tbo wisest of hair dressers err , so this 0110 may bo in error. lie said , however , that the signs of tbo times point to a revival of anothnr one of the fashions of 18IJO or thorc- about. Ho said , in abort , that the locks of the Beau Brummolla of "J4 will form a most i nil ma to acquaintance with the curling iron , llnvo they not boon grow- . ing steadily longer ? ho suys , and what more natural sequence , therefore , than a desire to relieve the monotony of undi- versified length ? Hence , the curling iron. Ilonco , too , possibly , a state of af- fairs Hiich as Walter Uosant claims ex isted in pollto society Homo fifty years ago. The desirable waves and gloss were then imparted to hair not prone to curls by a liboial use of hair oil. Of cour.se the belles of the period had to have their ringlets also , but a delicatedistinction was always preserved botwuon the limp and slender spirals for feminine adorn- mont and the aggressive and virile curls consistent with manly beauty. But , alas ! heat and hair oil und pomatum and persistence can never equal that one touch of nature which makes the whole hair curl. Therefore every ballroom hud .its . barbor. All night long , In uu adjacent room , ho und his apprentices attended , with tuukle , hot irons , und hair oil , to revivify be tween dunces the drooping Brummol- llun eurlri. And In another corner of the mansion muids with nimble lingers und t > iz/iug tongs lent a now twist to the ladies' ringlets. And when the next call caino to go on with the dance , whut a brave fahow of crisp ourls came together from those secluded nooks , where 4hu barbers cunsod from curling and the tongs rested UU the inubiu ceased ! * A nm .uu is not usually sup posed . - /uto dlrootly to- the family IM , uuf time and strength be ing sutliohmUy taxed when she keeps hoiii)0v uuinagus children and servants , andi administer ! * carefully the domestic a mi Ira which llo within her provlni'o. That the husband shall provide tjio ineuns , and the wife attend to their out lay , saving und economizing as thriftily us hlio cuu. ib the ordinary arrangement , sanctioned by custom , and agrcenblu to our idea of justness and of u fair divi , sion of labor , 4 It ii * now quite usual , however , for married women to uuppleinuut the In , come of the family by the exorcise of some gift or accomplishment. They write ; , or teach , or lecture , or paint pic tures ; they embroider , or make pickles and preserves. With a delightful feelIng - Ing ot Independence , nnd the most generous orous and tender unselfishness , wives who earn money by some effort of this kind spend it for family uses. It goes to pay school bills and purchase shoos. Wherever there Is n deficiency , the sup plementary earnings of the wife fit in so easily nnd in so timely n manner ttiat both husband nnd wife count on this added source of income aa If It were in the anticipated order of things. Often a style of living ralhor more expensive than would bo practicable on the hus band's salary or on the profits from his business is adopted because of the wife's earnings ; a larger rent is undertaken , 01 the living of the family is on a broader scale. It is not usual fora wife to hoarder or invest her oarntntrs separately ; they go into the common purse , and are spent either for luxuries Or for the benefit of the children. "When , Will gets into a very tight place , " said , ono day , a woman who wields a ready pen , "I sit down and wrlto two or three stories to help him out. " Sometimes a woman has impocunlous relatives whom she very milch wishes to assist , while she does not fool justified In taxing her husband's resources for the purpose. "I have a dear old auntlo who depends on mo for the butter for her bread , " remarked such a person. "Her little Income is only enough for bread ; in other words , for bare necessi ties. An occasional little outing , a now book < , a small indulgence of any kind , Is beyond her means ; but I have the great est : pleasure in brightening lier lot through what I make myself. " 4f * It Is in the ancient town of Diinimw , In North Essox , l ncrhmd , that every year the High Court of Love Is hold , and wedded couples .who live in ponce and harmony lay claim'to the celebrated "Dnnmow Hitch. " Baron. Fitzwultor , who , tradition says , was the instltutor of the quaint ceremony , lived in the twelfth ' century , and to him IS attributed the saying : "Ho which roponteth him not of his murrlugu , cither sleeping or waking , in a year and a day may law fully go to Uunmow and fetch a gammon of bacon. " It is refreshing to learn , that in the present year of grauo three couples doomed themselves worthy the award and presented themselves before the jury , which is composed ot six young maidens attired in white and six very youthful and beardless bachelors. The claimants sit during the trial on old- fashioned ; seats "made for two , " which , when the award has been made , are hoisted on long stretchers and the loving couples borne in triumph around the race i course. Following them come the judge j and the advocates in their robes of office , the cnov proclaiming silence with the wonted formula ; then the white- robed maidens and the beardless boys of the jury ; lastly , the ohiilHnsr crowd. .XltUS. The Russian blouse appears again among autumn costumes. Ermine promises to bo one of the favorite furs for dressy wear. The Isabella ring continues to bo the most popular in the line of silver. Braiding is again in high fashion on skirts , redingotes , capes , coats and bodices. Handsome black gowns are the rage for small dinner parties at homo and abroad. Brown of one shade or another is the chosen color for a large majority of the autumn hats. The latest fantasy in veils is fine ac cordion'plaited tulle , run with rows of colored ribbon. Most of the evening gowns shown at porsont have the broad , square nock in preference to the round out. As the largo puff on the arm subsides , the return of the natty juckot fitting the figure may naturally bs looked for. Steel and jot play parts in the now trimming * , and black will bo much used in combination with white and cream. A French hat in "sunburnt" straw has two black Mercury wings rising from pink rosettes , placed on either side in front. Some of the new hats in dcop shades of biscuit are exceedingly pretty , and particularly becoming to dark olive complexions. There is some sign of a return to pointed bodices , with a frilled basque of lace or ribbDii forming loops over a Hat square basquo. Designed for the average purse are black , green and shot velvet capos with doup capa collar edged with black fox , seal or otter fur. Very pretty trimmings for brown and tan felt huts arc made of velvet shudod from broivns to green , or from brown to old rose or orange. Basque bodices are coining in , and this is commendable , for the round- watsted corsage is not suited to heavy mutorials in the least. Po.s.snssmg the requisite slope of shoulders and length of throat , the airy lis.se run * edged with narrow lace is a charming addition to the toilet. Many tourists and World's fair travelers pronounce most decidedly In favor of the alpuca gowns they adopted for their journeys and jauntlngs. Rose ruches , Wide or narrow , raveled or vnudyked at both edges , are still used by lending atcller.s for ornnmonti ing the hums of handsome dross skirts. All tbo changes possible have boon rung on lace und llowors In millinery und now the latest garni tnroa of hats und bonnets uro farcical little gay-colored wings. Now blouses make their appearance almost dally , and indicate that this com fortable and economical style of dress will not dlo with the passing of the summer girl. A great variety of materials Is employed - ployod in manufacture of pajamas , The most popular Ibaspeolos of muslin known us niudras. When washed It is us soft as a handkerchief. The now and distinctive color of this souson Is culled "tfuphizino" and is a beautiful shudo of sapphire bluo. Every tone of green Is also in favor iu autumn and winter materials. Buttons , so long dishonored and despised , will bo used with reckless profusion us u trimming on severe gowns , even appearing on the skirts well as on the bodices. In btiblo , buul , otter , ' ermlno and real Perfalun lamb the now. fur capos und pelerines muko extremely imposing ad ditions to the wardrobe , but their cost is prohibitive to the majority , In bonnets was noticed a tempting 0:10 : of bluuk gauze and rich bluok guipure lace , with u port bit of glowing wall- llo wo r perched In the center , hold by a tiny jovvulod buckle , Heavy tweeds. chtviotH , and ether thick woolen gowns will bu made with underskirt ami ovoreklrt or drapery , In- stuud of the buries of llounces used 11in shear wools nnd muslins the past season , Velvet linings are often applied to felt hats of medium width of brim , but the wider shiuxH uro more often not lined 1 , and in tbo former case the material made us > o of Is either black or very dark colored.

It Is reported that emeralds are stead ily disappearing * . In the 'iiOs nnd 'OOs otnoralds wcr6 'tho ' favorite jewels , and were worn strung on a thread like pearls. Now emeralds are no longer polished Into a round form , but are polished like diamonds. This your the gown besldo whoso at tractiveness all other raiment fades In fascination is of satin , white and glistening - ing , which under the softening Influence of old lace Is perhaps , after all , the rich est and nust suitable fabric for n wed ding gown. Surplice waists , serpentine bodices and crossover blouses of striped nnd polka-dottod bongalino , shot talTota striped with satin or of armured silks trlaco , with spots , splinters and figures showing in their changing tints all the beautiful autumn colors , are unlvor- sallj popular for common gowns. Pretty for the autumn season Is a walking costume of nun's-gray camel's ' hair , lleoked with long shaggy spats of silver-white cumol'shalr. ' The shoulder- capo Is the principal feature of this dress. It is i simply a square piece of material so arranired that one point falls in the middle of the back , ono on onoh shoulder and ono In front. The now fur polcrlnos made in the form of a full short capo , with inqusque- talro collar and long , rather wide stole ends which extend almost to the foot , would sulllciontly trim jacket or pollsse ; and provided that warm underwear bo adopted , the now fltr'collarottes ' will bo found sulllciontly protective by those who do not sulToi- much from cold. Fresh' invoices of new dress materials are coming in with every steamer. There are broche silk on a shot ground and fancy stripes , velvet , satin and moire , with irregular bars and bunds. The woolens follow suit and are thick and warm looking. Of mixed tints , with a little yellow woven in to give a golden tono. The colors are amaranth , fuschla , green , tttbaixand Hinoke bluo.
