A New Fashion.
London World,

Womon who live in what Is called
the world constantly submit TO ply.
steal discomfort i'm order that they
might keep to the front Dress is q
them matter of such vital import
ance that To be successful they will
sacrifice personal ease. They are now
going to do more-they are going to
sacrifice a most cherished prejudice
The BlOOmer costume was thing
which they disregarded altogether, or
thought of with horror. Yet now
that the Partisan modistes have, IN
| their own subtle style set to
work to utilize the idea which formed
the basis of this costume, women of
fashion yield without a word. And
so the most immovable opponents to
femenine trousers are beaten with
their own weapons. Fashion having
gone over to the enemy, the votaries
of fashion must follow. But the men,
the outside public of male humanity
| which gives the final and most valued
opinion on woman's dress, are rs vet
unaware that such a change Is being
inaugurated. Doubtless they may no
tice that the front view of a lady,s
skirt has new aspect; that it seems
to form something dimly resembling q
fiounced trouser over each foot, unit
ed by fold of material which falls
between and stretches as she walks.
But mans own unaided intelligence
will never tell him that the women
he admires have literally put on the
breeches. Their daring conduct is
darkly concealed by all the skill OF
the dressmaker, and many an unsus-
pecting male may live in ignorance
that the wife of his bosom has actual
ly donned the most important article
Of masculine attire.
The newest mode of making O
lady's skirt is a notable instance of
the ingenuity of the French femenine
mind. Only when the wearer walks
about, 1t is just possible to perceive
that she walks In two garments in
stead of one. 1t is probable that the
ladies who promenade In these strange
ly designed dresses will quickly at
tract attention, from the fact that the
shape allows OF real freedom and ease
of movement. The tied-back dresses,
which made woman step as IL she
were In chains, are now succeeded by
form of garment which allows of
grace and elegance. 1t has all the ad-
vantage Of appearing very like tied
back dress while 1t Is so comfortable
that 1t bears no real resemblance to
that terrible construction. Women
will be better walkers and better dam
GERS now that the genius of the mo
diste has given them freedom, while
preserving appearances by means Of
these pantalorls dresses. And no one
will dare to cry out against leaders of
fashion, as those ladies themselves
cried out against the enthusiastic ad-
vocates of the Bloomer costume.
Fashion Is relentless, and pursues its
own course, despite all opposition from
those outsiders who are not In the
great world. Only Its own high
priests, the dwellers in its holy Of
holies, are listened to. IL they choose
to gradually, lessen the draperies
which veil the actual garment, until
at last the trousers are openly worn
and acknowledged, none can hinder
them. The prejudiced fair ones who
cling to petticoats will then no longer
be voted modest, but simply old-fash-
ioned.

THE DRUNKARD's ADVICE.
RY ola CLOcHE."


Bright shown the Summers scorching sun
For airy June long since had run,
And hot July was nearly done
With weather past enduring.
As through our camp, with stealthy tread
With shOeless feet and hatless head,
And clothes fast fading to a thread,
Came one IA drunkard's life who ledD
To hardships long enuring.
He reached at length my quiet tent,
His languid eyes on me were bent,
Into u chair he forward leant,
And asked what was reading.
Then glancing Ger my open book,
gazed with an inquirng look,
Returning thus his angry stare,
cit IL the Book of Common Prayers"
Then turning, read unheeding.
"Young man % and flashed his fevered eye
And from his bosom rose sigh,
Then laying hold desk. hard by,
He rested there reclining.
" Young man 'Tis honor TO your name
That blessed books living fame;
Twill bear thee from this life of shame.
Oh be It always thus your aim,
To read without repining.
E" Word for word, and line by line,
In every page sweet counsel find
Let every precious thought be thine,
And live and breathe its teaching.
know I'ye wasted life away
Far have my footsteps gone astray,
For liquor, with relentless sway
Has turned my youthful locks to gray
Oh! hear my words beseeching!
"Oh shun the path that have trod,
For heavy is the iron rod,
That by the mighty hand of God
Has scourged my wayward doing.
Take my advice, and liquor shun,
Then when your earthly course has run,
You'll on your death-bed thank the one
Who said do not as have done,'
And warned MY ways pursuing"
Then rising, started from my tent,
And muttcring, staggering as he went,
With bitter curse his anger vent,
On all his pathway crossing.
"Oh Mac !" cried, "and can l see
Where drink has wrought such misery,
And let thy words unheeded go,
Nor shun the causes Of thy woe,
BY such life endorsing"
