The Value of Mans Opinion Of
WOman's Dress.

Clarence Cook has the following
on ''rogas and Toggery, in ScriImer
for October:
The truth seems to be, that the
taste of men in the matter Of women's
dress is often better worth consulting
than women will ever allow it to be.
Sometime when they are very much
in love with q man, they will wear
what they think will please him.
Tenuyson's angry lover
'saw with half unconscious eye
She wore the colors he approved"
But, as a rule, they make no such
concessions. But then, | will admit
that men are very irritating in their
criticism, and most Of them do not
know when to stop. The TRADES OF
the medieval preachers against the
dress of the women of their time are
amusing reading nowadays, and even
the upbraidings OF the old Hebrew
prophets would be far less terrible TO
our ears than they are If they were not
rolled out in such rich vocabulary.
Qsqiah iii. 13-24) Certainly, there
is no profanity today in smiling over
Latimer's rebuke to the women OF his

ahsurdity in their dress, aud for the
pleasure they took, and the time and
money they wasted, in firing them.
selves. But from Isaiah down to
Savonarola, what real good did all
these ratings do? No woman ever
minded them for any length Of
time, or changed fashion, or gave up
an absurdity in dress until she was
ready to do so of her own sweet will.
But for all their dislike of Beetles,
women may remember that all their
stuffs are devised, and all the patterns
of those stufs designed, by men that
almost all the new fashions originate
with men and that the great Parish

A Remarkable Fertilization.

Judge E. G. Bronaugh has attached
to his watch chain little amulet or
charm, which aside from its peculiar
history, is very pretty in itself. 1t is
nothing more nor less than petrifed
rosebud. During the Civil War, a
young nephew Of Judge Bronaugb,
while in one of the Southern States,
wrote home TO his mother, and inclos-
ell in the letter a rosebud. The letter
arrived safely at its destination, and,
after having been perused, was laid
aside with the rosebud in a drawer,
where 1t remained for eight or nine
months. When the drawer was over.
hauled and the letter again brought to
light, the rosebud it contained was
discovered to be petrifed. The
Judges aunt recently sent the stone
to him at this place, and he placed it
in the hands of a jeweller for the pur
pose of having it fitted to carry on his
watch-chain. The petrifaction is SC
very hard that while trying to drill
hole in it, two or three tools were
broken before the object was accom-
plished. 1t is a perfect rosebud, ant
