short Dresses the Latest Partisan
innovation.

Short dresses are becoming fashionable
In Paris. and a letter writer from that
place tells an interesting anecdote in con-
nectlon with the introduction of the fash.
I ion. Amongst the Cinderella feet thus
attractively displayed to view, which the
/ writer has seen, were those of a Spanish
beauty, Miss A. de H. Being com
plimented on their smallness and perfect
shape, she rejoined that she rejoiced at
not having lived at the most Furnishing
epoch in the Spanish monarchy; and some
one asking her why, she replied that it
was only since the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century that Spanish ladies of
| rank We're allowed TO wear short dresses.
Before that time they were compelled to
wear the mantilla, the graceful but long
folds of which completely concealed their
feet, and the greatest favor that a lady
could then confer on an admirer was tn
permit him to admire the tips of her
shoes Ia the eighteenth century,
however, King Philip V. married the
Princess Louise de Sauoie and the
beautiful and spirited Princess dies Uri-
sins was named ''camerera-mayor' to the
new queen. Nature had bestowed on
Madame DIES Urisins' charming feet, which
had been greatly admired by the court
Of France. Taking advantage of the
influence which she exerted over the
Queens mind, she soon complained that
mantIllas raised a cloud of dust and
spoiled the dresses, and one day she
bravely appeared with a short but grace
full skirt The disgrace of powerful
minister could not have agitated the
public mind more than this disdain Of
the national costume. Most parents de-
clared that they would rather see their
daughters in their graves than allow them
to exhibit their feet thus scandalously,
and the chronicles Of the time even say
that the descent of an English army on
the Spanish coast would not have been
considered a greater evil. Madame de
Ursins and the queen were, however,
supported by his majesty and all the
young courtiers, and after a severe strug-
gle their efforts were crowned with success.
Outrageously short skirts took the place
Of the stately mantillas, and continued to
be worn until late date. In tropical
weather like this, it must be owned, il is
a relief to ladies to get rid Of the prepos-
terously long skirts that have been worn
during the winter.

Prof Huxley on Higher Education
for (Si rIR.

| A public meeting, convened under the
auspices or the Women's Education
/ Union, was held at the Eyre Arms, St.
Johns Wood, London, recently, for the
purpose Of promoting the establishment
of girls public day-school in that dis
trict Prof. Huxley, who occupied the
| choir in the absence of Lord Aberdare,
introduced the subject by referring to the
three courses open to a man who desired
to educate his daughters. First, there
was the boarding-school, but there were
| few thoroughly good ones, and those We're
exceedingly expensive and the ordinary
boarding school was the last he should Sc
lect. The next alternative was home ed
ucation, which had great deal TO rec
commend it, but it was a costly process,
and, moreover, deprived girls OF the
! healthy influences of coming in contact
with other young minds and different
teachers. The day school was the third
and. best course, combining, as it did,
! both the advan tages of thorough school
and home teachings, and the object Of
the Women's Education Union was to es-
tablish such schools, not as they are, but
as they ought to be in all the great subur-
| ban districts of London. No object, he
conceived, could he calculated to exert
more beneficial influence upon the wei
fare of the community than that. The
company in association with the union
had already founded schools at Noting
| Hill and Chelsea, which were exceedingly
Furnishing, and considerd to he great
boon to the residents of those neighbor-
hoods. 1t was now proposed TO establish
another for the district of st. Johns
| Wood where the education To be given
would be equal To that provided for boys
at University College School. 1t was
said girls were physically, morally ana in
| tellectually unequal, as rule, TO such an
education, and, though he did not believe
in the equality Of woman and man, he
vet disputed this position. Experience
/ proved that success in every station of
! life was less the result of intellectual
and moral strength than the exercise of
patience, industry and temper, qualities
very much dependent upon healthy or
ganisms Taking, then, the broad aver
age, the central point of moral and intel
lectual capacity was rather higher in the
male then the female group, but though
man was higher in that respect than wo-
man, he would not go so far as to say
that the lowest of the woman group was
lower than the lowest Of the man group.
Both, however, stood on an equality in
the matter of patience, industry and tenn
per, and as the capacity for education
rested upon these qualities, he could dis
cover no reason why bringing up the ed
ucational standard of girls to the same
level of boys should be calculated to en-
danger the physical welfare. He should,
therefore, conclude by moving That
this meeting considers the provision for
the higher education of girls as made
quate and unsatisfactory, and that meas
ures should be taken for effecting an. i'm
provement.

even blackened her brain. That her
constitution should have resisted for
nineteen days such cruel injuries, caused
| the greatest establishment 1t was
said that she never, in her brightest
and happiest time, appeared half so lovely
as in those days of agony.
The women of Montpelier seemed
to regard her murder as an insult to the
entire sex, and went intomourning for her
as for one of royal blood.
The Marquis was at once arrested, and
reaching Montpelier at night found the
city Illuminated that he might be better
seen, while the populace lining the streets
pursued him with hootinga and imprecations
till the jail doors shut him from their
sight Although there was no doubt of
his guilt, actual proof was lacking, and
he was only condemned to be degraded
from the nobility, his goods forfeited and
his person condemned to perpetual exile.
The Able and the Chevalier were
sentenced to be broken on the wheel if
ever taken.
The Marquis joined the Chevalier
abroad, and offering their swords to
the Venetian Government, both fell
fighting CALAMITY at the siege of Cana
da.
The Able lived for many years under
an assumed name, in Holland, where he
died in good rerute, and not little
regretted by those among whom he moved.
To one of them, who was familiar with
his history, the unhappy man confessed
that his lite had been troubled by constant
visions of his victim as she appeared in
the cruel moment at which he offered her
a choice of death. At these times he
suffered from an indescribable horror,
which threw him into a cold sweat, and
kept him awake night after night till he
felt as though he should 90 mad.

Concerning Dre~~

Men Of low instincts, who take pleas
ure in flattering silly women to do silly
things, invariably encourage all women,
except their own wives, to dress in a
style that is miscaled cloud" 1t is an
ungenteel, unladylike style, but it is not
any more vulgar than the afectation of
those who, to make display Of the good
breeding they do not possess, are always
talking about loudness in dress. Dress
cannot be loud. 1t may be ungeuteel,
unladylike, vulgar, immodcst, flashy,
tasteless or unrehned, but not loud.
Neither can it be quiet. That is another
affected term used by people who aspire
to be every genteel. Dress may be sim
pie, Iadylike, refined, elegant, tasteful,
stylish, fashionable, characteristic elab-
crate, genteel or modest but not quiet.
If ladies wish to win respect rather than
surprise men into IN equivocal kind OF
admiration let them choose sober col
ored fabrics, and forbid their dressmakers
to load their garments with trimmings of
various kinds. Let them avoid novelties
and the rage for any thing, especially the
jet-bead rage of the season, also the Juror
for striped fabrics or. if they must
wear stripes, let them be narrow and not
in strong contrasting colors Let them
not loop tunics and po!onaiscs in any of
the fantastic styles seen in the fashion
plates, nor wear enormous bustles under
voluminous poufs and bouiants but If
the figure is slender, use small hustle
and a moderate pouf or looping in The
back.

A Babe Found u nder N Rose Bush
Guarded by N Dog.
From the Terre Haute Express.

From the Terre Haute Express
DR.. Wilson returned last evening from
NATION and reported that quite an ex-
cItement prevails in that city over the
finding of beautiful babe, about month
cd, under rose bush in the garden of a
wealthy old gentleman named Snow, last
Sunday morning. The babe was sleep
ing quietly in basket and was guarded
BY faithful dog belonging in another
portion of the city, and it was with diff
Guilty he would permit any one to remove
it from its resting place. The child is
supposed to have been left by two ladies
who got off the train late Saturday night.
No name, no address and no clue was
found upon the dress or person of the
child. The owners of the dog are as much
mystifed as any of the citizens.
Mr.. and Mrs. Snow are very old, quite
wealthy and respectable and are living
alone They, however, think they are
too old to adopt the child, and other par
ties disiring it, it is probable the little
stranger will be cared for.
