Training WorkwOmen.

.
France was the first country in which
any organized training was given to
girls. The industrial census in 1860
showed that in Paris alone there were
367s workwomen to every LOCO work
men, women being employed, however,
in the lower and least paid strata of in
dustry. In 1862 society "pour IN
struetion professionals aes .fennses F" was
formed by Mime. lIemonnier, who
opened a small school with ouly five
pupils. BY the end of the FIRST year
this number had increased to forty, and
become self-supporting; and there are
now two hundred scholars in the parent
institution, and four branches have been
established, teaching yearly from six
hundred to seven hundred pupils The
girls must be over twelve years of age,
and pay from eight to twelve francs
month school fees. They receive a good
general education, and special classes in
wood engraving; painting on porcelain
and ivory, fans and blinds; CONNER
cial course, fitting them to be clerks and
bookkeepers. Drawing and industrial
design, needlework and dressmaking, the
manufacture of jewelry and of articles
de Paris are likewise taught. The
pupils find no difficulty in obtaining
situations after leaving the schools.
There are "a great number of SINH ar
schools in Paris, as we'll as in the prov
inces. Seven new schools of design
have Just been opened for girls by the
Paris municipality. A school for silk
weaving belongs to NJ Hamelin in Paris,
with branches at Lyons and st. Etienne.
The Atelier Theoretique ct Partique de
Topographic in Paris is said to turn out
yearly several hundred women printers.
Goldsmiths and jewellers, watch makers
and workers in metals have established
schools for young women. The Gobe-
Inns mandatory educates the girls who
are employed in the the execution of
the tapestry, and the China manufactory
at Sevres also has a large number of girl
pupils There is school for cookery at
Vitzy-sur-Seine which turns out excel
lent cooks, and at Nantes the munich
pality established some years ago an art
and industrial school for young women.
Private industrial schools are equally
numerous in the French capital; among
them we may mention the " Ecole Pro-
fessionelle Pratique," started by some
ladies in 187l,e and the school founded
ny Nine. de Monitor in the Rue de la
Seine, where girls receive instructions in
drawing and painting on wood, pottery,
glass and china, in wood and copper en-
craving, modelling and designing for
lace, FANS jewels, stuffs, wall papers, etc.

Costumes for Portraits.

Portrait painting has become quite
the vogue again, and what dress to wear
% be lmmortalized in is a subject of
serious thought at present with many
fair sitters. Nine. Charles Heine gave
q soiyee few nights ago in honor Of the
Prince OF Sweden, and the principal
topic Of conversation was the portrait
ot the Duchess d 'Elehingcn, the adopted
daughter Of the house. She is repre-
senied standing in white satin bali
dress, with soTtie dc bal of embossed
velvet and white ground with black
ilowers IN relief Portrait painters now
pay exceeding attention to the dress of
those they protray, and only true artists
succeed inSelecting attires that will look
well, no matter what the current fash
ionsare, Nj. Mastrazzo will exhibit Two
exquisite portraits of young ladies, both
dressed in Louis XVI, style. One in a
short mauve satin, with a Lamballe
iichu tied at the back, a boquet of tea
roses at the side and the hair simply
dressed. The Viscountess de P's pof-
trait at the Salon, painted BY Paul La
zerges, is much admired. She is stand.

leuse coat in black satin damask, with a
double plush collar and cravat of old

portrait of Nine. de ", likewise at the
salon, is success. The dress is white

One thing that strikes the observer
contemplating the immigrants as they
arrive is the fondness for vivid colors
eyinced By the people Of the Old World.
The nationalcostume that formerly gave
such picturesque appearance 70 the i'm
migrants, and marked each people dis
tinctively, are disappearing. From Ger
many, Holland, England, Sweden and
Ireland come now about the same gen.
eral style of garments, varied simply in
cut and color, all bearing a close resem-
blance to the general fashion Of raiment
worn here. Yet, occasionally, one will
encounter groups from countries more
remote or farther in the rear Of univer-
sal progfess toward assimilation who
are yeh worthy of attention and re-
marx. A party of Icelandic men, six in
numbeE arrived here not long ago,
whose garb would have been prize for
a side show. Their pantaloons of dark
gray frieze extended up to their arm
pits. Their vests and coats Just met the
upper edgeof their pantaloons, and from
each coat dangled between the shoulders
OF each wearer pair of the funniest,
most ridiculous, and diminutive tails it
is possible 70 magine Big silver but.
tons that had been bequeathed from
father TO son for many generations
studded the garments. The handsomest
mems costumes worn by any immigrants
are those worn by the Tyrolese, consist
ing Of long stockings, velvet knee
breeches, embroidered vests, short cloaks,
cone shaped hats adorned with feathers,
etc. 1t is dress that has been familiar
lied throughout the country by the
many bands Of Tyrolean singers who
have "yodel-ed" all over the land. and
which, by its beauty, deserves to be re-
tanned. The women from the same
country have brightly striped petticoats,
sometimes with stripes of gold or silver
lace that make very bright and pleas
ing show. Almost always both men and
women have finely developed, handsome
forms, which their costume dis
plays to the best advantage Their
facesare generally very good-the women
often very pretty and Of all immigrants
they are among the cleauest and neatest
The gayest-plumed immigrant birds
are the Finlanders. They wear mostly
homespun materials, but gaudy with
bright cOlors Generally they come in
colonies Of forty or fifty persons, and
when such band arrives they seem to
brighten all their surroundings. The
women's dresses are like very fancy
bathing suits of red, white and blue mo
half tints or shades, but strong.
pronounced colors and their head gear
consists Of snowy white frilled mob caps.
The fondness for color which distin.
guishes them is shown even in the dress
Of the man, who wear coat bindings Of
brilliant contrasting tints. On their
heads the men wear colo ed caps Of
knitted wool, like the fishermen Of Brit
tany.-NsD York Sun.

Yes, nv young friend, that stif bat d
Terv becoming and all that, bus you
wear Ii as though you imagined ii was
the first stiff hat that was ever worn.
I This is mistake, and advise you as q
friend to eradicate the idea at once be-
fore il becomes chronic and seriously
complicates the other diseases with
which YOU are already suffering.
When you were passing through the
hiccough period OF your existence, and
was being RECALLED with catnip tea, sooth-
ing syrup, and other infantile beverages
I the ttiT hat was an old grey-headed
patriarch. When youf father was boy,
I PLAYING short stop in the = Big Joints,
/ away down East, the stiff hat had its
hammer on the outer wall of civilization.
When his fathers father, yonr great
great grandfather on yourfsther's side
was roofing around in the dirt for the
reg that some mumble-ty-peg champion
had clinched on the granite base Of his
native state, the stiff hat was hanging on
the hickory peg behind ,he.door Of every
well-regulated home from the Andres
c1ggin to the Mississippi.
and before that, away back wheH
Susan B. Anthony was q girl, the stiff
hat had, by its beauty, and Its habits Of
falling down whenever hung up, en-
deared itself to the long suffering, but
forgiying people Of this country. So you
zee you are not introducing a new style
exactly. 1t is possible your way of
wearing it on the side of the head, may
be new Itisan historical fact that your
ancestor wore his hat squarely on the
top Of his head. But he had an advan-
tage over you. His head was so full of
brains he could tell just where to find
them every time, but you with your big
head and thimble full of brains, have TO
coax them just wherever they happen to
be, as they rattle around from your
bump Of self-esteem, to the place where
your bump of reverence would be if you
had one
The habits Of the stiff hat are the
same as they were in the beginning, are
now, and shall be yesterday, to-day and
next Wednesday, time without end,
until the repeal Of the tax on print
paper. When you went out calling last
week, and in your embarrassment tried
to hang your hat on the corner Of the
clothes bar, and it rolled off on the stove,
and from there to the floor, and brought
up in pan where a couple of chickens
were being broughtup on bottle, you
thought such behavior was new to that

streaked with the irregularities Of the

Owing to the imperfect telegraph system
