A WOnan'S Dress.

Bob Burdette, in the course of an ar
ticle in the Burlington Hawkeye on the
rights and wrongs of women, says {:
''Our wife wants IA dress. After two or
three or half-a-dOzen stores have been
ransacked for goods the dressmaker is
sought out. The matter of measure
ment is tedious, and then the matter of
fitting is one of numerous and repeat
ed trials. Finally the dress is finished
and sent home. Then it is sent back
to he taken in here and let out there,
and ut last, after the customer has been
fitted more times for that one dress
than her husband has been measured
for three or four years, the dress comes
home for the last time and is pro-
nOunced by the wearer, her friends,
and the dressmaker as "A beautiful and
perfect fit, and is finished.
Beautiful it certainly is, far more
beautiful than her husband ever wears.

shades and contrasting bits of color,
are all in the perfection of good taste.

any kind of appearance in good society

\ correspondent of the New England
Homestead furnishes the following
story from her scrap book. 1t may be
a little exaggerated, but it 'points to Il
moral -
After having been married some
weeks it came into the head of IA young
husband. one Sunday when he had but
little to occupy his mind, to suggest to
his wife that they should plainly and
honestly state the faults that each had
discovered in the other since they had
been man and wife. After some hesi-
tation the wife agreed to the PROPOSE
ton, but stipulated that the rehearsal
should he made in all sincerity and
with an honest view to the bettering
of each other, as otherwise it would be
of no use to speak of the faults to which
marriage had opened their eyes. The
husband was of the same mind, and
his wife asked him to begin. He was
somewhat reluctant, but his wife in
sisted that he was first to propose the
matter, and as he was the head of the
house, it was his place to take the lead.
Thus urged, he began the recital.
He said =
"Mv dear, one of the first faults that
observed in you after we began keep
ing house was that you good deal
neglected the tinware. My mother al
ways took great pride in her tinware
and kept it us bright as IL dollar"
81 am glad you have mentioned it,
dear" said the wife, blushing little !;
thereafter you shall see no spot on cup
or pan. Pray proceed" 81 have also
observed" said the husband, ''that you
use your dish-rags IA long time without
washing them, and finally throw them
away. Now, when ut home, | remem-
Der that my mother always used to
wash out her dish rags when she was
done using them, and then hung them
up where they could dry, ready for the
next time she would need them"
Blushing, rs before, the young wife
promised to amend this fault.
The husband continued with most
! formidable list of similar faults, many
more than we have space to enumer-
ate, when he declared that he could
think of nothing more worthy of men
| tiOn.
"Now, my dear" said he, "you be-
gin and tell me all the faults you have
discovered in me since we have been
married"
The wife sat in silence. Her face
flushed to the temples and great
lump came in her throat, which she
seemed to be striving hard to swallow.
Proceed, my dear tell me all the
faults you have discovered in me
spare none"
Arising suddenly from her seat, the
little wife bnrst into tears, and throw
ing both arms about her husbands
neck, cried =
"My dear husband, you have not a
fault in the world. If you have one
my eyes have been so blinded by my
love for you that so long as we have
been married have never once OBJ
served it. In my eyes you are perfect
and all that you do seems to be done
in the best manner, and just what
should be done
But, my dear" said the husband
his face reddening and his voice grow
ing husky with emotion, 'just think,
have gone and found all manner o
fault with you. Now do tell me sOm'
of my faults | know | have many
ten times as many as you ever had o1
2 ever will have. Let me hear them"
j Indeed, husband, it is as | tell you

Charleston Market.

Lille f.. Barr writes Il gOssipy letter
to the \. Y. Independent from the
"hot-bed of secession" the principal
point of which is Il description of the
city market, which is very good:
just below the Charleston Hotel is
the market, and Charleston has good
and clean, built of brick all succeed
over, it runs from East Bay up to Meet
ing street, distance of some five or
six blocks, with the salt sea breeze
sweeping through it constantly. 1t re
quires two visits to see it, and will
tempt one to many visits if they hap
pen to take Il pleasure i'll living, NOV
ing, laughing, testing life pictures.
On entering the market from Meet
ing street you find yourself first in the
poultry and game department., strings
of all sorts of dainty birds in season,
coop after coop of ducks and chickens,
who are all entering vigorous protests
against their Imprisonment, or gazing

yards that walk with slow, Mr.. Chad

the stalls, picking up all refuse as soon
as it is thrown down. These birds are
the city's scavengers, and are protected
by law, fine of five dollars being i'm
posed for killing one. To me they rep
resented the one unpleasant feature in
the market, and sent IL shudder through
me, to see them standing on IA piece of
meat, holding it down with their great
talOns until the last shred is devoured,
and then with flap of their ragged
wings-and who ever saw buZZard
whose wings We're not ragged, and did
not look as if they had been bought
out of pawn shOp-they mount to the
top of store on the opposite side OF
the way, and look down with their evil
eyes upon the passers by, just as
though, like Mr.. Wemmick, they
thought they were so much portable
property escaping them. | never could
feel kindly towards these scavengers Oi

They always seemed to me to he blot:

Indifference Of Women TO the
Ballot.

cone who knoEs" writes to the New
York Sun that Indifference of women
themselves to the right to vote is not
the only reason for the failure of wom-
en- suffrage; and she explains the mat
ter thus ''There is another reason,
deeper than this, why the majority of
thinking and retiring women would not
wish the suffrage, except in a most re-
stricted sense. 1t is that the right to
vote brings with it the right to place,
and women knowing each other So
well, would never consent to be gov
erned by women. The envy, hatred
and all uncharitableness now existing
among them is quite sufficient without
the ambition, contention and bitter
dislike which the vote would entail.
Besides, women of mature and thought
ful age have enough duties without be-
ing harassed by politics and only
such women have brains enough to
understand and rightly weigh the grave
questions of politics"
