For the sake Of your children, don't

A FOOLISH old sitting hen of jackson,
Tennessee, abandoned her egg, robbed
an old cat of her Kittens and 10 now
lowering her ill-gotten and unnatural
family.
ITtis rather strange how some people
women at that-can reconcile their con-
science to pay ten dollars yard for silk
to make dresses, and then grumble at
paying q poor woman as much a. one
dollar day for making up the article.
Is ii true that since the introduction

Lucy HoOPER admires the perfect
equality in business matters which 81.
lists between the sexes In Paris. Women
keep books, govern hotels, run large
shops and even factories, and are often
the business partners of their husbands,
and most Efficient ones at that. The
Frenchwoman is indeed a power in the
land.
The plaid suitexcitement appears to
be subsiding rs rapidly as it began. The
fashion was decidedly overdone, as other
fashions have been time and again, and
now ladies are not averse to admit the
fact. Black silk, discarded and neglect
ed for a time, is joyfully taken up
again, and now the fashionable girl of
the period rattles and rustles along the
avenue happy and radiant in the heaviest
gros grain.
ANOTHER ghost of former days, writes
Paris correspondent, is about to haunt
the drawing-rooms, and to show itself in
coiffeures and on ball-dresses, namely
the marabout, that shadow of feather
which our grandmothers loved 70 well,
and our grandfathers thought so poetic.
Marabouts, forsaken and despised by. or
even unknown to the present generation,
will be wern this winter by the leaders
of fashion, either alone or combined
with precious stones.

Uses to be in the mohair braids that are
now popularity known as Titan braids
These braids have already reached snch
prices ss 3l2 for apiece Of dozen yards,
and are bought in great quantities. Jet
is literally fading before them, for
dealers already show dull, luslreless
heads made dull on purpose to match
lustreless braids,' and surely when jet
lo-es its glitter it has no further reason
for being"
Lucy HOOPER, in her last Paris letter,
says of the German hair trade: "The
highest priced hair is pure white, long
tre~es Of which are sold not by the
proud, but BY the single hair, each hair
being valued at about half q cent. The
most valuable Of the natural hues is
pale gold aswitch of that color was
displayed, valued at nearly 800, even in
that Wholesale mart. The greatest curl
osity saw at Wetzlar was a switch of
light brown hair, measuring six feet in
length, and for which 800 had been
paid to the original owner thereof This
unparalleled braid is to be reserved for
exhibition at our Centennial"
