June should he . very happy month; 1t Is insepa-
Taoly connected with roses and sunshine aud al
pleasant and beautiful things. Everybody 1oves
and waits for it. To young and cil It. Is too brcf
too eyanescent to hold the good they would fala
pour into Its lap. ...
1t Is the motrh nf months for women. Its rosea

lisphanous rohs, and fEes,c cool musllns; 1t takes

a dew upon their cheeks, and tts light IN their
eyes, anu tries to restore to those who have lost
them their most precious posses slous-youth aud

no MORE OLD WOMEN.
Thanks to the modern toilette, however, there
arc no more old women. The chigaou, tho mass
Of waved anu curling hair, the powder, which Is
freely usel. the arts, conceafments and attyac-
ttoua colorlng Of dress, enable the women Of to-
tla7 to almost defy the attacks CT t:Eac, and with
the aid Of their experience firat tne lrcsner aI+

Women reior1ncrs have always been abuscl and
1idIcaled for their plaiu1es5 Of appearance and
the simplicity Of their 1rcss. They scornei TO use
at. They werc generally POOR, always husy, and
took pride in an utter disregard Of personal ap-
pcaranec.- Their prosclytcs, therefore, have been
principally made a1nong women. AMI among those
men in whom the love Of truth and Justice Is nat
ural1y stronger than admiration for beauty ID the
opposite sex. -.

II Wis NY fortune during the May anniversaries
to SIT, on one occasion, near crowd Of women
Aulegtcs from all parts Of the country, and the
1eatu,c that most struck me In their personal ap-
pearance was the exceeding weakness Of thei1
buuuets They we're strong In boots, decided In
tho style Of their short dresses and the absence Of
any superluous trimming, but there was o look Of
f+ebleuess and nileIniteness about their hats and
bonrets that Waa Painful There was no Als1tnc-

AMERICAN AND krE0FEAS FASHIONS.
