IN English woman has written . book
on how 10 dress on SIS $50 per year, and
the English papers are apparently rs much
oAoroised oVor IL Is II tho P-nhlem ~aro n
new one, and had nevsr before been solved.
OF course the American equivalent, SIS,
does not fully represent the English wo-
mans total. Fifteen pounds in London
will buy twice as much as $40 IN New
York but this is fact of minor import
ance. The point | wish TO make is this,
that dressing on el5 or $50 per annum, is
not so new that it need be considered mar
velous that either sum strictly set apart
for their own uses would be considered a
fortune by thousands OF women who are
obliged to solve the problem Of dressing
neatly on much less and that, while it is
undoubtedly true that some few women
spend large sums on their drcss, the ma
iori.y come nearer to solving the problem
of how to dress on nothing per year than
how to dress on So for the same length OF
| time.
Itisst truth men know as well as wo-
men, that there is nothing so variable or
80 uncertain as the amount which most
women feel at libertyto spend on dress. |
am not now writing of the fortunate few
who possess an income from property
earned or held in their own right, which
thor husbands or other male guardians
enerously allow them TO use as they please
these cases, as every one will allow, are
exceptional but of the majority of women
who are dependent upon men for support,
while they act rs the care-takers, nurses
and housekeopers of their homes.
Not one IN ten of these women has an
income at all allowed her exclusively for
dress purposes. 1t is understood, Of course
that she is 10 dress herself in some way OF
other, and the better, ms general rule, tn,
better the husband likes it, providing th'
bills do not press upon HMM fact b,
does not want to see them at all. This TIA,
wife quickly understands, and 40 she learns
to--what she calls Manage IL she ha
housekeeping money, she saves something
/ ont of that; she abstracts on occasions
from trousers-pockets; she coa1es oi
bluntly asked for occasional tve-dollai
bills; she receives presents of yearly
dress, or cloak, or set of furs for herself %
the children from relatives; or--and THU
most frequently in cities, where womeI
must dress more than is required in tn

This is the most common method by which
city wives obtain an income; but do moi
imagine that it is all spent ON their dress

n I,ndorstood Mr. Tracy your associate in the de

was not embezzlement, and no criminal charge womb
lie should he stated, however that the charter OF
the Trust Company contains clause positively prohib-
ting any director of the Company from borrowing the
funds OF the Company. This clause has undoubtedly
been violated but it does not constitute criminal
ohense If the Company has loaned TO its directors and
lost thereby il must make 1t up by levying new assess

prosecution.
O. would not the books Of the Trust Company show
whether the city's money reached the vaults OF the

on that point There is doubt of the right Of the

THE SPANISH REPUBLIC.

PROJECTED ALLIANCE BETWEEN cARIIsrs' AND IN
TBAksIGENTES-A REPUBLICAN VICTORY CLAIMED
MADRID Monday, Sept. l5 1879
The leaders Of the Cartagena insurrection are en-
deavoring to the cooperation of the Carists
IN then efforts to raise the siege Of the city. They
have made propositions to the Carlss to attack the
Republicans in the rear while the besieged make a
sortie. Ii is not known how the Carlists have re-
ceived these overtures, but the exposure of this
desperate resort has deprived the insurgents of all
public sympathy.
Private dispatches received in this city deny the
truth of the report given currency by the Carlsts
that the Republican troops in the north under Gen.
Santa Pauloma have met with a severe defeat by
the insurrectionists. On the contrary they assert
that the engagement resulted in a victory for the
Government forces, the Carlsts being defeated with
great slaughter. The number of insurrectionists
engaged IN the battle was 4,0OO while that Of the
Republicans was only 10000.
Gen. Morones has been appointed Generalissmo
of the Armies of Spain.
Intelligence has. beenEreeeived here that dis
turbances have occurred on the island of MajOrca.
