The Modern Keung Lady at 1--WE
Periods Of Her Life.


Behold her again at 90 No more
does she run or Jump or roll hoop, run
races or slide on the ice. 1t is not
proper now nor ladylike, and she
couldn't If she would, for she is fettered
by long skirts, tight shoes and tighter
stays. Her movement has no longer
the freedom and unconscious grace of
childhood, for nowwhen she walks abroad
she walks to be looked at which now In
her estimation is the main object of
walking. She is already in delicate
health, and has doctor who prescribes
expensive advice and prescriptions for
her, and ascribes her complaint to any
thing and everything but the real cause.
That is simply the lettering of the body
with fashionable clothes. Physically
she is a prisoner At II she was free.
The doctor advises travel, but he
doesn't advise her to take off and
keep off her fashionable fetters. She
wouldn't do so if he did, and
he wouldn't advise her if he. knew it
would bring relief, for she would no
longer believe in a doctor who would
make her dress like. "a guy, and being
dressed like So guy is dressing differ
ent from the style prescribed by Paris
modesto . Diana never could hunt
in trailing skirt; narrow, tight, high
heeled CATERS, and pinched, -corseted
waist but Diana with belted tllnic
and uhfettered limbs would be bounced
off Broadway by the nearest policeman.
Dressing for health and freedom of body
and limb is one thing, and dressing for
fashion quite another. A man couldn't
endure the pinehing and membranes
peculiar to feminine attire for an hour,
and pretty spectacle he'd make rush
ing about in such during business hours.
Yet the weaker. sex wear double the
membranes of the so-called stronger.

A Frequently-NHarried woman.
A woman who has buried seven hus4
bands before reaching the age of 80
would, it might be thought, experience
some difficulties in persuading an eighth
to lead her to the altar. The Pesth
newspapers relate that Catherine Cesas-
STA, now q widow for the seventh time,
has found courageous Hungarian will
ing and anxious to marry this oft-mar-
ried lady, who contracted her first union
at the age of II. Within fifteen months
she was widow, her husband having
died of consumption but year later
she donned bridal attire again and we'd
ded widower Of 95. Considering the
advanced age Of this second bridegroom,
there is nothing surprising in the fact
that he survived his wedding day but
thirteen months and just month after
the funeral Catherine went to church
again with another widower, who was
carried off by dropsy four years later.
She mourned him nine months, and then
replaced him by young man Of 80, who
lasted four years only. The young man
was not apparently regretted SO much
as the old one, since eight weeks after
his demise the widow married a butcher,
who in his turn, sJccumbed at the end
of six years. Nine months had not run
their course ere Catherine found him
successor, and this one, her sixth hus-
band, was so robust and stalwart that
the neighbors predicted he would out
live his wife. This prediction was not
realized, Catherine being a widow for
the sixth time four months after the
marriage had been celebrated. Number
seven having followed his predecessors
to the grave, this untiring widow is MAX
ing the requisite preparations for the
tying Of the eight ,cnuptial knot This
wife Of many husbands must, we would
think, have some difficulty In recollect-
ing what her name is, having changed it
eight times in the course Of thirty years.
H' Handkerchief Dresses. s -
French manufacturers have given
great variety to. the 21eoatchoir, or hand
kerchief, patterns. SO popular during the
summer for ginghanf dresses, and have
introduced them for autumn and winter.
They have woven the finest wool and
silk mixtures into squares like handker-
chiefs, with the center plain, or in small
checks, while the border is of the gayest
Madras plaids; or, to be more exact, the.
border is formed Of lines or stripes of
many bright colors, which cross each
other at the four. corners of the square,
and these corners form the plaids which
are the stylish feature of the
new nsouchoSr WOODEN goods.
Plum, peacock blue, bronze, and
myrtle green are quiet !. colors most
used for the centers Of these thick wool
en- handkerchiefs, while br liant htles
are in the borders. A great deal. of red
and yellow is in these borders but, in
stead Of being the glaring red and yell

patterns, plain woven homespuns, and
cloths of good weight are brought out
in these designs. Ladies who prefer
black dresses to those with colors will
wear n1ouchoig dresses that are entirely
black. The center of each square is
black armure wool, and the striped bor-
der is silk, with satin luster. --H0Tpeg's
