HONESTY AT THE TOILET.

First Of all rules relating to ornament
comes the rule of truth. All attempts
TO pretend to beauties that we do not
possess are clearly falsehood, wrong in
themselves and injurious to the genu-
Inc possessors. 1t is parting with the
true dignity Of the virtuous woman, to
try to change hair or complexion, and
it is strange and sad proof of the evil
influences Of fashion, that so many good
women should deck themselves with bor-
rowcd plaits without conjunction, "be-
cause every one knew it was not their
own" False pretenses at wealth are
nearly as bad as false pretenses at beau
ty. In the last generation, mock jew
elry was the acme of vulgarity. Now.
love of trinkets has made tinsel in real
ity more vulgar, because more common.
Only the truly refined will now refuse
to wear anything that is not what it
pretends to be-will prefer an honest
pebble to a sham jewel, and turn away
from false coral and glass jet. The per-
son who utterly repudiates unreal gew-
gaws is true and just and, what is
more, she saves great many small
sums for higher purposes. The higher
rulers of good taste have shown US that
nothing is really graceful that has not
a raison d etre. Ornaments should be
beautiful necessary finishes and fasten.
ings. The brooch is almost q necessity,
and the bracelet is a natural ornament
as are the flowers in the hair, the feath-
er in the hat. Skirts looped up with
flowers, where it would be unnatural to
fasten real ones, do not seem to me to
be good taste; though the associations
of a ball-dress are in favor of them, and
perhaps the dancer is supposed for the
nOnce to be a fairy, and in fairy cos
tune. Artificial flowers do not exactly
come under the category of shams, since
no one wears them to deceive. False
hood as to amount of material is bad
taste, if no more. The long train gath
cred up behind became our great-grand-
mothers, but the real folds of drapery
are ill-replaced by mechanical cushion
standing out like an excrescence, and
hounce with lining alone under it gives
a sense of spiteful triumph to those who
detect it. And truth in dress leads to
charity not only by avoiding setting
bad examples, but by making the worn
dress fit to be given away, or cut up
for poor child. To give away disused
fnery is no kindness but stout dress,
past Its first prime, is no small benefit
TO a poor woman, and, if it has not been
spoiled in the making, will last her for
years. Such considerations as these are
we'll worth keeping in mind when VIC
choose our dresses, for they greatly in
crease our powers of kindness; and if
there be little restraint as to shape
and color, it will probably rather i'm
prove than detract from the general eff
ect.- Charlotte NJ Konge.

A CHRISTIAN WOMAN's WARM

ING AGAINST FASHION.
Fashion is a much more subtle tempt

gradually demOralized. Some persons
are worse than others in this respect
but there will always be tendencies 10
be guarded against-either those that
are actually to indecency, or merely to
indecorum for example, the quietest
bonnet Of the fashion Of 1875 would
have been most indecorous in 1880, and
could have been worn by no respectable
person, though now the cottage bon
net would be an enormity. But when,
in the beginning Of the century, ladies,
trying to be classical, wore hardly two
petticoats, and backed out Of the room
like mikes for fear their fathers and
aunts should be Mortified by the stat
ue.like outline Of their torsos, fashion
went a good way beyond the simple In
decorous. And the same may be said of
the hight Of the corsage, and probably

and there are others who thoughtlessly
initiate them, because they will not be
outdone and thus a public fashion is
formed, which absorbs the thoughtless,
and makes others afraid Of the suspicion
Of prudery. Once for all, exposure is
always wrong whatever be the fashion,
1t IS a Christian woman's duty to per-
ceiye when indecency comes in, and to
protest against it by her own example
and influence, though not by censorious-
ness. Relative indecorum should also
be guarded against The first entrance
OF fashion that tends to a bold APP

would represent the whole Peninsula and
prove religious success. The Association

desiring to attend the camp and would
make all Improvements about the grounds

DIR. Matlack observed that it was obvious
to all that the religious interest was not as

be publicly recognized by Conference, and
thatit bemade Conference camp. Second,
that railroad and better accommodations
generally should be provided for visitors.

lHE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.-During the
past hve weeks there has been a remarkable
advance in the price of wheat. not only in
this country, but in Europe. The Liver.
pool prices, at latest accounts. show an
advance of 20 per cent. since the middle
OF June, while the New York market nm
10 saturday last, made similar showing
Since then, however, there has been a slioht
depression and dealers are disposed to hold
on 1or while. Our market here at home
jumped 10 cents, or from 81. 20 to 81 70
but our reports to-day may show a sliobt
decline. The rapid rise is attributed. in the
main, to the unfavorable reports of the
crop IN Europe. Between the floods in
much OF the best wheat growing country Of
the British Islands and part of France. and
the drought in other parts of France
together with portions ofGermany, Hungary
and Austria, have caused well-founded 20.
ports to come that the European crop will
be short, and this, with something of q
speculative tendency inspired thereby. has
caused the rise. Now that the first excite.
ment caused by the reports is over there is
more OF tendency to hold off and await
developments.

Base Ball.

The most exciting game OF base ball
ever witnessed in this town, pcrhap..
occurred yesterday, between the Smyrna

lively from the fact that the two clubs
played game at Dover on Friday week.
when the Smyrna club was beaten II TO &.
The Smyrna club raised strong objections
to the play, however. on the ground that
the Dovcrs were a picked nine of the State
and not properly the Dover club. Tho
game yesterday was played upon chal.

square with their rivals, also made I'M n
