NBW YORK, July 19. In spite of
the fact that the energetic dressmakers
ml buyers for big dry goods houses are
packing their bags for a run across to
frivolous Paris In search of news ancnt the
tutumti fashions, tho world of welt dressed
femininity Is not bothering Its well bonneted
head over tho future. Sufficient unto tho
day nro the lovely gowns thereof and this
philosophic conclusion Is eminently justified
by tho rarely lovely chiffons that tho high
tide of summer brings forth. There has
been satisfaction expressed all around con
cerning tho charming warm weather notions
that nro excuses for wraps In these bland
evenings, when every woman Is dccollcto
and suitably cautious. Ostrich feather boas
used to bo tho thing, but they have served
their turn and now languish under the
humiliation of a reduction In price, while all
tho vigor of feminine admiration nnd finance
Is expended on tho lovely silk shawls nnd

equally beguiling liberty crcpo scarfs
measuring a yard and a halt In length by
twenty-four Inches In width, striped In
green satin Hues on tho ground- of pale

fringe
It Is needless to Bay that these webs of
cpalesccnt color chlmo perfectly with1 tho
gowns for evening Went, since tho well
selected evening toilet has nothing crude
In tono about It. Tho diluted essences of
tho seven primary colors to a pastel con
sistency is what wo sco on every side, an
excellent exemplification ot which is given
In tho accompanying sketch.

This 1b a dinner or ball toilet. Tho skirt
Is of pastel rose crepe with a brilliant but
toned girdle and brilliant buckled straps of
black panne. Liberty tlssuo In tho samo
tint as tho skirt forms tho fulled front ot
tho decollete bodies, and tho long-tailed,
long-sleeved bolero Is ot old guipure lace.
A woraafi may seek, but sho will fall to
find nny fabric that renders a fair shoulder
moro luminously whlto .than black panne
when laid quite flat against smooth, rosily
fair skin. That 'is why all tho dressmakers
uso it or plain black velvet In preference
to any other shoulder band.
But If women plcaso thomsclves greatly
with these bccofhlng cnndlo light colored
gowns tor evening they show no less de
cided preference for tho Bnmo refined effects
by day. It would make ono blind on tho
sands or elsewhcro that at the moment
fashion congregates to sco a startling rod
or turquolsb blue gown or n green or pur
plo foulard figured In big, Hashing, whlto
flowers.
At tho summer luncheons and club house
teas and afternoon games on casino lawns
the women look like flowers, as seen through
n veiling of whlto waxed paper. To a
luncheon, or afternoon function It Is tho
highest mode to wear nn elegantly simple
linen duck frock, stitched a llttlo aud tucked
a little, and mnybo nrabesqued with the
heaviest linen gulpuro, laid on flat, or some
thing on the order of tho heavenly, blue silk
muBlIn gown. Dluo muslin, ot tho tint
known in Paris as crepuscule and hero a
twilight sky-bluo, on blue taffeta, Is the
skirt, and tho wnlst has a wldo yoke ot
pinched cream chiffon, which the bluo mus
lin encloses with an apnjlqued edging of
Imitation nrussels laco. Tho tucked whlto
chiffon collar has flvo encircling band ot
black ribbon, with big bows ot black silk
muBlIn at tho bronst nud throat, and Anally
a charming girdle ot tho same brought for
ward from tho back, whero It folds broadly
to meet two' sparkling ornaments lu front
and then let fall long flounced scurfs nearly
to tho ruffle at the skirt's edge.
Smart llnlr nrcwNliiir.
Tho halrdrossers seem to bcllevo that the
pomjiadour Is tottering to Its fallt Tho
justification for this way ot thinking lies In
tho. Irrefutablo fact that a great many
women who nro zealously mindful of their
vgooil looks and reputation for tasto are ap
pearing In tho evening with their locks
combed low. Not, Indeed, In a Langtry
club, which nt best was an unbecoming und
uncomfortable coiffure, but arranged lu two
full, globe-like rolls pinned below the
crown and above tho nape and decorated
with little short-toothed, pearl-crowned
combs thrust In at tho baso ot every fold.
This docs not prevent the -soft waving of
tho front ot tho hair, but Buch an arrange-
mont would appear simply foolish with a
classic pompadour, and tho front hair Is
softly combed back without a central .part.
Thoso whoso faces aro too brad to ac
cept this arrangement kindly aro never
theless quelling the proud roll up from the
brow and placing thn puffs and bands Just
on tho crown, aa a base upon which to
establish sometimes n charming aigrette,
somotlmes thrco whlto feathers. But what
ever else may happen there Is no relaxation
tn the enthusiasm with' which women of
scant and abundant locks uso their heads as
cushions fpr mounting numberless pins nnd
combs. Two pompadour tuckers, three back
hair combs nnd one wild hair clasp seem
in hn tho least wo can get along with Just
now, despite tho fact that the shell or
celluloid ornaments are mado. entirely too
heavy aud tho weight ot so much foreign
material breaks tne uair nu mo uu.

It Is of no avail, however, to try and pit
tho needs of health against the laws of

TflD WOMUX OP CHINA.
ItcmnrUnblc limtniicrn of Tliclr Devo
tion to HunliRiiiln nml IlclntlveN,
Woman's Influence In China la greater
than, is commonly supposed. Records of tho
Flowery Kingdom, says the New York Sun,
aro full ot examples of women famous tor
their learning, heroism and high principle.
Sometimes women acbicvo absolute 'power
over the household, for thero Is a popular
saying, ''She cats rice with her husband,"
which Is used to describe tho rulo of tho
temalo tyrant. Tho meet astonishing In
stance of feminine power today Is, of course,
tho career of the empress dow'ager. Aa nn
Instanco of'the empress dowager's power, It
may bo recalled that she deposed her strong
est vizier, Prlnco Kung, In 1SS5, by a mere
decreo In tho Pekln Gazette because "he
overrated his importance."
In common with all other nations, tho
women of China represent the most fervent
religious clement. They are eald to support
enthusiastically tho Boxers' movement and to
bo fighting with passion to help rid the
country of tho missionaries. That the
women ot China do not lack courago Is
proved by the .fact that they sometimes seek
sulcido as relief from unhappy marriages
and uncongenial husbands would frequently
bo murdered were It not for Hpeclal punish
ments, "Ignomlnous nnd slow," devised for
all women who attempt homicide. The mere
existence of this law proves the necessity
for It. Again, not long ago, fifteen young
girls of Cauton throw themselves Into tho
river to cscapo from marrying the husbands
chosen for them.
Two other recent examples prove the de
vbtlon of the Chinese women of high degree.
A daughter of tho Chinese minister" to Lon
don, Kwo-Sung-Taon, was married at the
age of 17. When her husband died sho tried
to commit suicide out of grief, and wculd oat
nothing but golf leaf, seeking thereby to
Induco death. It failed to poUon her nnd
she then btarved to death. Her slster-ln-law,
Mrs. Kwo, a sister of the Marquis
Tseng, tried nUo to follow her husband to
tho land ot spirits, but falling In her at
tempt at BUlctdo, rho Anally took compas
sion on her children, agreed to live and
managed her father-ln-Iaw's property while
ho was In London. LI Hung Chang penned
a memorial to the Dragon Throne, request
ing that theao two women should recolvo
a sign of Imperial approval.
Notwithstanding tho degraded condition
of women of tho lower classes, the feminine
Ideal Is high In China nnd tho annals of the
past show a long series of virtuous and
heroic women, who havo mado an Indelible
Impression upon tho natlonaj mind. The
mother of tho great sago, Confucius., Is held
ao a model. Tho next philosopher of Im
portance, Menclus, was also inuentcu to ins
mother for the formation ot his character
nnd mind, as well ns his philosophy. '
Woman's lot .In China Is, however, not an
enviable ono. Sho Is not received Into the
world with Joy nnd gets very little eauca
h' At 12 ho Is banished from all com
panionship to become "tho young girl who
sits lu tho house," until ner marriage, jvusu
M.oita nmn ono eho has never seen.
Then she must obey her husband and her
mother-in-law; sho may not como into con
ntt with mpn nr the outside world; and, as
a rule, sho cannot read. She may, however,
recolve Jadles and return tneir cans. ioe
patriarchal system Is so universal that tho
father Is a despotic ruler over hU family
o trinrrioii wnmnn bocomta so entirely
a part of her husband's family that she has
to ylold her obedience to uer nusuanu
rcnts, who frequently treat her moro as a
-I. i,.n n rtnnehlnr-ln-law. Tho doctrine
Inculcated lu tho Chinese classics Is that a
woman has threo stages ot obedience: First,
to her father; second, to her nusDanu, mm
i liimh.md dies, to her 6on when
ho reaches manhood. Tho old proverb goes:
"Men wish their boys tp De hko woivca, u.m

they wish to be llko mice, and fenr lest they
should havo tho boldness ot mo tiger,
