How Women Put on Their Clothes.

Some of the men about town are dis
cussing the forming of a society for the
instruction of women how to put on
their clothes. 1t has always been doubt
full whether women dress to please men
or to disDlease other women. If their
object is to please men, surely there is
no imprOpriety then in men telling
wherein they are not pleased.
1t is suggested that there should be a
course of lectures by men nlilliners un-
der the auspices of one of the clubs, for
as the eXquisites sit in the Club win
dows on Fifth avenue they declare that
''pon their 'onnahs" they believe that
one-half of the women throw on their
clothes as though they were firing them
at a target.
The most exquisite toilet is certainly
frequently ruined because the wearer
does not know how to put her clothes
on. Now, of course, a woman who needs
the aid of such society does not put
her clothes on upside down or wrong
side out, but she gets into them awk-
wardly, and there is something about
her which suggests that she does not
understand the art of dressing herself.
1t would doubtless help the cause of
good taste if this society would employ
young men of skill and taste to act as
tutors of women of Gotham in this re
spect. They could be engaged to call
like the hair-dresser, and manicure to
give lessons in the art of dressing. Mod
istes complain of the lack of attention of
their customers to their instructions.
The fact is the underwear should be
of a size and thickness to correspond
with the costume. The corset should be
perfect fitting, with no bones in it that
will insist because of their strength and
position on showing exactly where they
terminate and begin.
Then when the dress isassumed every
hook must meet its proper eye and ev-
cry button must be carefully drawn
through its corresponding button hole.
The lingerie must be daintily and care
fully arranged, the jaunty hat placed as
it should be, and the gloves carefully
buttoned.
1t may be objected that this will
make the lady look prim and stiff. But
picturesque carelessness is harder to OBJ
tain than the primness that appears to be
so studied, and it is commonly said by
| mOdiStes that there never was a neglige
effect produced in any part of a costume
that was thrown on.
| A professional male beauty whose neg
| lige neckties are at once the alteration
and dispair of his followers is said to
spend three hours a day achieving the
! desired effect, which after all is only a
knotted tie, with its ends flung to the
winds.
1t is part of the worldly wisdom of the
day that the world judges much of &
woman by the picture of herself she pre-
sents. The grace and elegance of a gen
tlewoman should speak in her garments
to the world at large.
| Women were made to give our eyes deligh I
A female sloven is an odious sight.

Metropolitan Newspapers.

To-day the absolute control of another
member Of the Associated Press passes over
TO the little clique of men who have set about
to make themselves monarchs of America,
politically and commercially.
The majority Of the Tribune stock, after
its bypothecaton to William E. Dodge g.
Co., passed for sine under the control Of
Jay Gould, from whom it was redeemed by
d. o. Mills, the father-in-law OF WhitelaW
Reid. Pending this redemption, Mr.. Gould
purchased the World, and now Cyrus w.
Field has bought the Express, of which he as
sumes control to-day.
These three papers belong to the New
York Associated Press, the total membership
being confined to seven. The others are the
Journal Of Commerce, the San, the Times
and the Mercury.
The Journal Of Commerce can be pur-
chased, and in few weeks will be. That
alene will give the monopoly control of the
organization while tbs Tribune management
acts with 1t, as in general it will. But tc
| guard against the possible detection Of Reic
and his father-ir-law, an effort will be made
| to buy tie Mercury in the interest of the
| Field. Gould combination.
The object of these men is not, as general
ly supposed, to control routine news, but t.
control the market. The New York Associa
ted Press is very deficient in general news
The National Associated Press, and eve
many individual newspapers, are far ahead @
it in that respect. But its commercial report

Woman's Rights in Burmah.

King Theebaw, of Burmsh, this biggest

with another wife. Indeed, be bettered
Sapoleon, for he took two new wives, one Of
them tho granddaughter Of the kan-Pat-
Menshee, and the other the daughter OF a
minor official. The Queen soon heard Of this,
and, as she was unable to go to the King, she
sent him peremptsry order to pnt away his
new wives at once. King Theebsw replied
that he should do nothing of tha kind-that
he was tired Of Her Majesty, inasmueh as she
only presented him with daughters, and that
he was determined to free hmseif from her
control and be a real King. Seven or eight
days were passed in angry messages but a

A Just Judgment.

A member of a Pennsylvania banking asso-
citation, which was not incorporated, sold his
shares and withdrew. He had been conspic-
uously advertised as director, and no notice
was given Of his retirement, further than to
omit his name from the published list OF
officers. The concern failed. A depostor
sued this ex-director for his claim, on the
ground that the deposit was made in ignor-
ance of his withdrawal, Of which notification
ought to have been given. The Supreme
Court has decided for the plaintiff. Judge
Sterrett says: "Where an ostensible Or
knewn member of copartnership retires-
therefrom, and wishes to shield himself from
liability for further debts of the firm, it is
necessary that personal notice of his with
drawal be given to all who have had dealings
with the firm, and that notice be given by
publication, or otherwise, to all Others"
