A FEMALE FORAGER.
She Discourses Concerning Fashions, the
Carnival and Other Things.

The Lady Rambler, at her own Preside,
after a week of going 10 aud fro in the city,
soIiloquzes, and in her musings wishes that
some one would say to the girls, that Will,
nothing can he prctter or more suitable for
winter wear than fur trimmed garments, tho
effect OF two or three kinds OF fur 10 the same
costume is, to say the least, ineongruous. II
the mufr and dress cannot match, sacrifice
one or the other.
She wonders why street car drivers never
elope with pretty passengers, whom they must
frequently see. To be surr,it's the uniform.
Tine ladies all love a uniform" II the
street car company would only provide Il
handsome livery, no one can tell what the
result might be.
M dresses were more admired In the late
carnival than those worn at the Greek booth.
So simple, aud ye; the statuesque sweep al
the soft folds Was lovely. Is it not n pity.
thinks the l.. r., that n modifrd form of this
dress cannot come into practical use, though
perhaps the beauties of the plump partridge
order would not agree to this.
We have gone back 10 first principles In
colurs, at least. Look at the Opera ho1se,
when society chooses 10 appear. II presents

Speaking Of the carnival, can IL be true that
some Of the participants were so woefully
careless in returning their costumes tn the
management II so, what has become Of
the fine old manners OF our graDdfsthers;
or didu't We have any graDdfathers; or are
they a delusion and a snare, aud did they
elbow and push their way through the world
as do their descendants No. their
manners are above criticism, for

The effect is pretty. but is it worth whiei
Smythe said Ia the Lady Runblcr last
night: ''Why are women different from um-
brellssf' ''Whyr' she promptly replied,
''hgcsusr you need an umbrella only when
it rains; women are always necessary to your
happiness
'.Oh, ycs," replied smythc, who was going
n tell her an umbrella could be shut up,
"oh, yes," aud reaching mechanically for
his hat. he seemed TO vanish into thin sir.
When the s0-eallrd tailor m abe suits came
into vogue We all rrjoieed; but now even So
called cannot be applied to them. for they
are decorated with braid by the bolt, buttons
by the gross, aud slAshes by the score. But
tons and braid are not so cumbersome as
rufiies aud plaltings, but for street suits they
are quite as unnecessary II We are going
to have plain dresses let them be pain, in
fact as well as in nsine.
