Views of "a Proposed Dress Re-
former.
| can quite conceive that a man thor
oughly imbued with the prejudices received
from biased education, indisposed to &C
cept new ideas, and deeply endowed with a
love for the beautiful, might be reluctant to
pay his addresses with view to matrimony
to woman wearing trousers. Still, under
the influence Of familiarity with the idea of
a change in the neither garments of the SEX
and especially should they be generally
adopted by pretty women, it might reason
ably be expected that a change of opinion
and emotion would ensue, and that perhaps
in time he might even be brought to regard
trousers as filling more completely his idea
of the beautiful than do skirts at the pres
ent day. There is another point that re-
Quires consideration, and that is the practice
of wearing the gown cut low in the neck. so
as to expose the breast, and without cover
ing for the arms. 1t is doubtful if this
leads to any i'll consequences. 1t has been
continued for many generations without
apparent injury. 1t might be supposed at
first thought that bronchitis, pleurisy, pneu-
monia, and many kinds of rheumatism and
neuralgia would be the result Of the GUS

these affections being much more frequently
met with in men who cover the chest and
arms with several thieknesses of wooden
material in addition to shirt of linen or
cotton. 1t has been strenuously urged by
many so-called sanitary reformers that
women should support their skirts by straps
passing over the shoulders, and some few
have been induced to adopt the method. It
is to be hoped thai that it will not spread.
A woman's hips are propOrtionately wider
than those of man, and there is no better
way of keeping up the many petticoats that
it is sometimes necessary to wear than by
fastening them with strings or bands around
the waist, over the corset Shoulder-straps
hinder the movement of the chest and tend
to make those who wear them round-shoul-
dered. Besides, they could not well be
worn with a low-neck dress. Even if
trousers should come into general use for
women it would be better that they should
be kept up by the support of the hips than
by suspenders, passing over the shoulders.
1t is true that many men wear suSpenders,
and this fact may, perhaps, lead to their
adoption by some women; but, again. no
inconsiderable number Of the male sex sup
port their trousers from the hips. If com
paratively narrow-hipped man can do this
wide-hipped woman ought to be able to do
it better A good deal more might be said
in regard to hats, shoes, and stockings. But
women will settle all the questions of dress
for themselves. There is no evidence to
show that in this respect men have ever in
terfered with them, and if they should pre-
sumo to make the attempt it is not at all
likely that their advice would be needed.

of leaves and grasses in the light brown
shades, while the ties are of narrow GRIM

and caught in long loops on the corsage.

For lady with well-formed throat they

worn with flannel suits or wash dresses.
jabo t. made SO long that it really forms
vest, is of etamine and lace. Take a
straight piece of net and get the desired
length to the waist line. Upon this are
laid three folds Of etamine of an ecru shade,
but let it be about four inches longer than
the foundation. Spread the plaits a little
at the neck, lay them over each other at
the waist line to make the shape narrower,
and allow the remainder to flare fan fash
ion. The lower edge and one side are
trimmed with Oriental lace, that on the
side being full enough to be drawn in cas-
cades, while at the bottom it is set across
plain. At the top the lace forms a flaring
bow, caught in the center with loop of
etamine, and from under this bow on the
side where there is no lace, fall loops and
ends Of yellow satin ribbon. The narrow
space at the waist is also ornamented with
bow of ribbon.
A stylish accessory to dressy toilet is a
plastron made in the following manner:
Brussels net forms the foundation, and the
plastron is cut folded through the center,
its width broadening over the bust and ia
pering to point at the waist. A broad
band passes in collar fashion about the
neck and full frill is placed inside the col
lar. Jet drop ornaments cover the entire
plastron, and lace is arranged in jabot upon
each edge.
Embroideries in all colors, particularly
those in white muslin, are very fine and
open. Some are as fragile as lace.
Red embroidery is triumphant upon dark
blue and brown ginghams, and is supple
mented by the red plating around the edge
of the skirt, the glazing red chou i'll the bon
net and the red parasol. There is one
thing about these toilets: If they are prop
erly combined the cOlorS may be worn by
either blonde or brunette and the general
effect is pschutt and suitable for house or
street wear in the city or country. Dark
green's are pretty with scarlet, and green
and mordoie mingling meets with favor.

WHY!

cannot tell why God should send into my
life
The bitter sweet,
Nor do / know why toll and strife
My hopes defeat.
know not why this weary aching
My heart should feel;
only know, in dreams or in waking,
Life seems too real.
cannot tell why fond affection
Should soon grow cold,
Or why the friends we love and cherish
Are quickly told.
I only know some hearts are trusting,
And fail to find
The love which knows no change or rust
ing
Pure gold, refined.
All, weary heart, wherever hidden,
In age or youth,
Sad Marah comes to each unb1dden;
But God is truth.
We know not why His wisdom sendeth
Each sorrow down;
But patient, prayerful, calm endurance
VIII win crown.
Trusting henceforth His love and mercy,
Our hearts will cry:
Dear Father, send us hope and strength
Thou knowest why.

PeriIs of Society Girls.

Gail Hamilton.
''What are society" perils for young
women?" just asked a ''society girl" and
she said: ''In Washington lack of men. !"
For girls this is true There are plenty of
men in Washington. Perhaps in no city in
the United States is society worth SO much
while asin Washington, because so many
distinguished men gather there. In no
party do you fail to see groups, any mem
berof which would be considered worth
making feast for in other cities. But the
distinguished men of Washington scarcely
come at an earlier period than their early
middle life. They are in Washington be-
cause they have already won more or less
eminence. They are past the uncertainty,
the hesitancy, the unhealthy of life, and are
bent on definite pursuits. The young men,
the natural mates for the girls, are in
other cities and districts practicing law,
learning to edit ne wspapers, cantering over
cattle ranches, preaching sermons to young
women and probably making a poor fist of
1t, exploring mines, errning money, win
ming fame. By and by they will come to
Washington. but in that day our girls will
not be girls any more. A very few of these
young men are in Washington, but very
few, hardly enough to go round. COnse-
quently girl who. goes into society en-
counters the peril of not finding many
stimulating minds among her younger COM
radeS.
And there are perils of o'clock teas ruin
Gus to digestion and always the peril of
confounding the cakes and candies of life
with its roast beef. Society is so fasci-
mating that girls are in danger of forgetting
that it is refreshment and rest, not steady
work.

The Antique Whist.

From the Art Magazine.
l believe it is said that the corset was
not unknown to Rome; but it is clear that
the Greek and Roman women, as Whole,
were quite convinced that the human form
was itself beautiful, so that they made no
attempt to disfgure it by compression or
addition. Young girls We're dressed simply,
chastely, and yet elegantly, in the flowing
stola, slightly open at the throat and occa-
siOnally falling in two sets OF folds On the
eve of marriage they were clad in a white
robe called the regilla. After that event
they wore the girde which the Roman
matrons generally placed Immediately be-
meath the bosom. Sometimes it was
band, and at other times cord tied In
bow, over which the folds of the upper
part of the dress fell gracefully. Among
the Greeks. though not unfceQuently worn
as just described, it was often placed lower
down; occasionally the stola was bound
about the bosom by band passing over
the right shoulder and under the left breast.
This gave the right arm liberty for action,
and it was only for this object. orfor speedy
motion, that the waist-cOrd ever seems to
have been drawn very tight. So little did
the Greek and Roman women think OF the
waist that in great numbers OF draped stat
ues their mantles are so arranged as to hide
it altogether.

GOING UP TOGETHER.

The Mercury rose from its little CELL
Anda tear shone in its eye
As it saw the sun, for it knew full well
That the hour of work was nigh;
It had long been having al. easy time
But now it must prepare for a lofty climb.
1t sighed for the hours of leisure fed,
As the Price of Ice went by,
And the latter paused on its way and said,
my friend, what means that sigh?
/ heard you were i'll some time ago,
Indeed, l believe you were very low.'
so! my health is good,'' said the Mercury"
AS it wiped away Il tear;
sit isn't my health that troubles me,
But my climbing time is near,
And sigh to think, when I climb so high,
1 shall be alone, with no one nigh
SO, pshaw!' said the Price of Ice, 'sdon't fret,
But welcome your climbing weather.;
ne'er went back on an old friend yet,
Sowe'll both climb up together;
Climb as high as you like, I'll climb with you,
And stay by your side all the summer
