It IL curious from an American point Of
view to see the i~ncongruities Of dress, even
among the higher classes here, which the
wearers seem absolutely unconscious OF.
English women certainly are lacking in that
nics sense OF what is suitable and ht for vari-
Gus times and places, which we never have 10
acquire, but which comes of Itself. For OK
ample, where would you find an American
woman who would be seen in a delicate mus
lin gown on a summer day topped, 50 to
speak, by a fur cape, even though that fun
be sable and priceless; or what one Of my
sisters would be willing to put a beautiful
fresh gown on over a dark and altogether
disgraceful petticoati Which Of US would
veal thick cotton stockings and clumsy shoes
with a superb velvet costume and old point
or a sealskin toque ornamented with al arti
fetal rose as a suitable finish to a light or
candle gown and fchui Yet have seen all
these monstrous combinations, II many
others equally as hideous, and the wearers
serenely unconscious Of the slightest violation
Of good taste; and in most stances these
ladies' are possessed OF boundless wealth and

Perhaps there Is no better testof a woman's
health and beauty than her appearance when
aho presents herself at an early breakfast
table. She Is then more as nature made her
than at any other period OF the day, when art
has been brought Ia with a view OF heighten-
ing hor charms. II she has slept well, It
argues, 10 some extent, a sound nervous sJh-
tenn, and the effect Is seen in the brightness
OF her eyes and the tono possessed by tbs
muscles Of the face and neck Her move
ments are full Of grnce, for her limbs havo
been refreshed and ~strengthed by repose. and
her mind Is clear and bright, for 1t also has
rested, and there ave been no had
dreams to exhaust her nervous system
and make her limp and haggard.
Her intelligence Is then at its maximum,
and she feels the mental recklessness that Il
70 generally the result of sound, healthy
sleep, and that Is only a natural citation OF
emotions, pleasant, doubtless, for her TO OK
hibit, but far more pleasant to those TO whom
1t Is manifested. II. on the contrary, she has
slept badly, or has suffered from nightmare
In conseauenco OF a feeblo digestive system,
her eyes are weak, dim and watery, her face
l Is hRbby, her head appears TO be held UNI
steadily on her shoulders, for 1t droops on her
chest, or hobs helplessly from side
T. side, her complexion is dull and
bloschy, red where It ought not to DO red,
and pale where 1t ought not to be pale.
Her expression Is Indicative of the discomfort
she has undergone during the night, her
movements are either painfully slow, or az
gr~avatingly brusque, her Intellect shows stu
pidity, her emotions are torpid. her percep-
tions dull.
While tho woman that is in good physical
health exhibits all the beauty in the early
morning that her features Of capable OF ex-
pressing, the one whose organic life Is dc
ranged is at this period OF the day at her
worst There is no better test OF n woman's
health thar her ability to eat a hearty break
fast, and 1t might almost DO said that her
physical beauty is in direct proportion 10 the
amount OF beefstenk or ~mutton-chOps she can
put into herself at this meal Certainly,

will not save him if his place be wanted by
q Blaine striker. And if Governor Cleve-

probability, they may be sure that no super

THE BLAlNEITEs say that if Governor
Cleveland be wronged by the alleged scandal
against his private life, why doesn't he right
himself by a suit for libel? For two very
good reasons, one because it does not de-
serve that much consequence, and the other
is the natural objection every decorous man,
no matter how Innocent he may be, has
to being a party to such a suit. But
it is entirely different in the case Of Mr..
Blaine. The charges against him are Of a
public character, affect his reputation for
veracity and honesty, and accuse him OF
bribery and corruption and of prostituting
the high and responsible position of Speaker
OF the House, to the low purposes of pecuni-
ay gain, by Iobbing the people of whose
interests he was the chief guardian. Why
doesn't he sue somebody for SANDER?
