"Children's clothes , " fluid the popular
modisto , "arc not a particular feature
with mo , still when cast 1 saw eomo
charming models , and gained all the In
formation possible for the benefit of my
customers who liavo children and coiuo
to mo for hints nnd suggestions.
"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. A bow of ribbon with
long btreamcrs In the buck gives u pretty
Mulshing touch , ana ties of the sumo at
the throat. Injuckots one can use her
Individual tusto and bo corlitln to bo in
style , us all shapes and colors will bo
\\orn. 1'rotty buttons will bo a feature
mid big lapels , 'like mamma's. '
"In colors , you know children must
'
huvo bright co'lors , and this winter yel-
low will take the loud , und brown with
soft tun shades is especially liked. Then
coino green , blue gray and , ot course ,
bluo. It will bo quite proner to make
over the blue serge for the little tot who
thinks u dress mudo out of her big sis'I
tor's old one is much nicer than u brand
now frock. And plaids will bo used ux11
tonsivoly for girls' dresses nnd for bojs"c
kilts. Velvet will bo used for trimming
and for waists , and cunning little juckots
to bo worn in the house. Uraid will be
Ubcd for trimming , in contrasting color ,
"Yokes , borthuB und full sleeves retain -
tain their popularity In young people's
, clothes. In full , round wuists there is a
pretty simulation of a yoke in two largo
uords about uu inch und u half apart
gathering-Ill the fullness. Bodies are a
trlfio longer , belts narrower. Skirts
are absolutely simple , the most appropriate -
priato having no trimming beyond a dee
lining hem. A particularly pretty frock
Is made out of blue sorgo. The yoke
und upper sleeves nro of red and blue
striped llunnol. The bodice is arranged
with crossing braces of solid red piped
with red und bluo. With this Is worn
the blue bailer that bus done duty all
summer , but is now transformed by a
band und standing loops of red und blue
ribbon.
"A much'admired model for a dress
for a woo woman is a straight gathered
skirt , u yoke waist and nleevos with a
pu-lT ut the top reaching1 almost to the
elbow , und a deep rulllo either at the
nook or at the yoke , then u dainty wide
sash'of ribbon or of the sumo material
us the dress. This gown should reach
nearly to the shoo tops and Is very pretty
mude ot plnid.
"Accordion plaiting will bo used in
children's clotlicsboyH' us well us girls' ,
The idea will bo worked up in broad ,
white collars and cull's , as well as in
'colored wearer the neck und wrists ,
A dress that I tuw was mude with a
plain uccordiou pluited skirt with plain
sleeves and waist. The sleovjH hud a
broad plaited rufllo reaching almost to
the elbow and ut the neck was u similar
one reaching to th"b shoulder , very'full
and line plaits. This suit may bo mudo
of two colors or of two materials , and
mude of light India silk makes a very
dainty party dress for if little miss.
"For u young gontlcmun who has not
yet adopted punts , n good style will be
uu nccurdlo.li or box-plaited kilt with
broad bolt and buckle. Jacket with wide
lupels reaching to the shoulders , very
pointed. Make a waist of lighter col
ored goods thun the balance of the suit ,
which will bo of heavy ilunnel. The
sleeves of the jacket should bo wide at Ii
the top , in log o' mutton style , with i
broad turned-buck culls. This suit will I
bo especially effective made of .tho j
Bhiiggy woolen goods on the market this i
BOUSOII.
"Another dress which will look well 1
combined wlih velvet , is to make a plain
skirt rather full with throe rows of vel
vet ribbon notir the bottom. ' Make vel
vet sleeves , either an enlarged coat t
sleeve or ono vor.y full ut the top and 1
tight fitting ut the lore arm. Muko a
pluin waist und wide lapels of velvet
long enough so they will reach over the
shouldur from the waist in the back to
the walht in front , und have them cross
about half way between the neck und
wiilut , both in front und back. The
Inputs must bo very wide at the shoulder
and taper to about two inches in width i
at the waist. The elTcct will bo found 1
to bo very stylish und simple.
' The youth who detests the middy
suit wears u short coat or belted Norfolk
juckot over short knee trou&ors of sumo
mutoriul. Those rough suits come In
brown , blue und gray , und are delight
ful for sports and for t > chool. Linen shirt
wuists , with turned-down collars and
four-in-hand ties , go with this dross.
"For party dresses for the little ono
who Is in the swim is u charming little
drohs of white India silk. The plain
skirt iii hemstitched around the bottom ,
nnd is attached to a short Empire waist ,
which in cut in a deep V.buck und front
and llnlshud with frilled rovers of the
uilk. The hhort piilfed Bleovo onus in u
frill just above the olbow. The Moveless
gulinpo is of white illr mull und is
shirred himply around the neck. An
other Is very simply modeled in dotted
crepe of the dainty inuls shade , the
short round waist boiug sliim-d hever.il
times and finished around tlie node with
u wide bcrtliD of lut-o. "

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 !

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. "

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.
