DIGNITY IN DRESS
ssnssble Departures Made by Arbltsrs Of
Fashion

Sensible Departures Made by Arbiters Of
Fashion
Artistic and dignifed dress is the order
Of the day, and the modist who forgets 1t
viii soon be without patrons. She must
throw her bark INTO the stream and float
With the current if she would succeed in
her business. The history of dress is
cosvsl with the history of mankind, and is
in itself highly interesting study. Human
nature has laughed at attempts to regulate
a taste so universal, and fashion has al
WAYS been stronger than legislation. The
best talent Of two hemispheres is employed
at enormous expense in designing the most
artistic and elegant toilets. Manufacturers
vie with one another in the production OF
the moet costly materials, and the best
goods that it ia possible to make without
regard to cost find ready SAFE at q large
profit. 1t is lady's own fault if she does
not dress well, and she alone is to blame
if she does not dress well, and she alone is
to blame if che looks ugly. Every means
is given her through artistic circles to be q
thing Of beauty"
BuT few tinsel effects are noted, and
those are in very fine materials, and the
quantity is limited, so that it is not at all
loud.
The prevailing ideas of common sense
in the fashions of the hour impress one
more and more. Look at the boots made
tor women this season, then at the new
winter gloves which are to be fashionable.
Sottest most velvsty buckskin or Mocha,

ouisite cut and it, The thin giants de
Suede will only be worn on dress occasions,
as they should be, for nothing could be
mora unsuitable for winter hand Governing
than the thin, delicate peau de Suede.
The conspicuous features OF early winter
/ millinery will be wool fabrics and rosary
beads. The new shapes are close and snug
in effect, yet triae larger than heretofore.
Nearly ali of the Paris bonnets have strings,
and the new picot edged ribbon has quite
the preference. A great deal oil velvet RIB
bon is also Used as we'll as fancy plush and
e:amine ribbons for more dressy purposes.
Ii is certain that the Princess of Wales
leads, more than any one else, English
fashions; and striking evidence Of this will
be given during the autumn. Most people
are new familiar with the photograph OF
Her Royal Highness in the academic robe
she wore during her recent visit to Ireland,
when the degree of Doctor Of Music was
conferred on her by the Royal University
of Ireland. The gown, with full sleeves
Of white satin, lined with crimson satin,
with its academic hood Of the same mater
ials, is completed With a piquant velvet col,
lege cap, with COLO tssselS, So well did
the Princess look in this attire that London
millinsrs determined at once to make col
lege caps feature. Immense numbers
have been prepared, and they are made in
every variety of material, velvet taking the
lead, and we have even seen them made to
match autumn aud winter costumes, and,
trimmed with beads and bugles.

Let Him Who Grmmbles Hush.

The foreign news of the week Is summed up by the New York World as follows:
 Look across the Atlantic and what do we see? France fighting with China; England gc ttinp slaughtered in the Soudan; Turkey battling with the Albanian insur- gents; Egypt mad with the Mahdi; Russians and Afghans facing eacl, other with arms in their hands; Great Britain and Russia ready to fly st each Other's tbrOats; Ireland sullen and angry, and everywhere the terrors of Nihilism and Dyna. mite threatening nations with do. s:ruction ff'oM the palace to the hovcl.
 Turning our eyes to this side of the ocean, what spect~cles dc they behold? Barrious bullying his neighbors; Mexico massing troops against Barrious; arevolt in Col umbia, and Chill and Peru still with unsettled troubles.
 Yet here we are in the United States laughing and growing fat, crazy tor roller skating, settling our strikes by cOnceding better pay for tabor, looking confidently fer buiness revival, reforming our Government, discarding some of our follies, and fearing nothing but cholera and taxation. We are prepared to defy these enemies the one by cleanliness and sani- tary skill and the other by honest reduction of our expenses.

A Perfect Marriage.

Theodore Parker wrote:-- Young people marry their oppo- posites in temperament and general character, and such marriages arc
 generally good onee. They do it instinctivcly The yeung man does not say: My black eyes re- quire to be wed with blue, and my over vehemence requires to be a 4ttle modified with some what of duHness and reserve.' When these opposites cone together 10 be wed they do not know it, but each thinks the other just like himself. Old people never marry their opposites, they marry their similars and from calculation. Each of these two arrangements is very proper. In their long jour- ney these opposites will fall out by the way great many times and charm the other back again and by and by they will be agreed as to the place they will go to. and the road they will go by and both be reconcied. Tho man will be nob- Ter and largec for being associated
 with so much humanity unlike hlm- self, and she will be a noble wo- man for having manhood beside her that seeks to correct her dei- ciencies and supply her with what she lacks, if ths diversity be not too great, and if there is real gen erosity and love in their hearts to begin with. The old bridegroom having a much shorter journey to make. eetst associate himself with one like him self. A perfect and complete marriage is, perhaps, as rare as perfect beauty. Men and women are married fractionaly,Aow a small fraction, then q large frac- tion, then large fraction. Very few are married totally, and then only, l think, alter some forty or fifty years of gradual approach and experiment. Such a large and sweet fruit is a complete marriage, that it Hee&s very long summer to it and then long winter to mel. low and season. But Q real happy marriage of love and judgement between noble man and woman is one of the things so very hand. some that if the sun were, as the Greek poets fable, 8 god, he might stop the world in order to feast his eyes with such spectacle.

What Cleveland Is Up To.

Correspondence of tho Phlladel' delphia Times: No doubt many in- telligent persons, Democrats and Republicans, have in their perpleX- ity felt inclined to ask what Glove land was up to, so unusual has h!s course in some important respects been. Here is their answer: He is SD to more economical honest CT administration of the govern. ment, pufer politics, and, to a certain extent, q reformation of parties as to the necessary out come of his methods. Will he sue ceed. It is said that the president does not have a single doubt that he will. It issaid that he doesn't ever go to his work doubtlngly. He is not a d,ubtins man. It Is said that he believes in bis own luck. It is not that, but higher faith, based on a clear perception of the outcome of wlsely ychoSen means intelligently, honestly ap- piled to ends. Ir all the stations he has filled and through which he has come regularly, steadily up to the highest, he has acted on this plan. It is said of Mr. Cleve- land that he believes his luck will carry him through and that he IS to this extent a fltalist. However, persons may discuss the matter, a faith something like this is neces sary 10 great success in any enter prise. It is known that Grant ney CT for single instance doubted putting doxn the rebellion. He was accused of something like su- perstition in thls. But it was the greatest quality which carried him though and won for him an imper- ishable fame.
 Tho hostility of prominent democrats is not unexpected. ls is among the first consequences of the course the president has mark ed out. and in which he will not falter. His irmness in that course is assuring to his supporters, and it is bringing, and will continue to bring, te him support from new quarters and thus realize at the start the idea originally prompting the departure. Men are beginning to comprehend President Cleve lands purpose. It is natural that it should be asked, is he equal to it's complete execution? In his ca reer in public life befefe reaching the White House, and in the events of the month he has beer it's tenant, there is nothing tha iorbids belief in his sacccss; bu there is a great deal that endangers it. It is a great undertaking.

Gen. Lees Sword.

For twenty years picturesque story concerning the sword of Gen. Lee has been n circulation. Ac. cording to this account Gen. Lee rendered his sword to the victor at Appomattox, and Gen. Grant magnanimously refussd to accept it. In fact this place Of alleged history has been in print so often, that ono Mir. Benjamin Jeffries, of Des Noines, Iowa, has become impressed with the belief that he was present on the occasion snd saw the sword offered and de- clined. It is difficult 10 overthrow such stkement, but we think that we can do it. In the first place, Gen. Grant has denied it several times. In the second place, Gen. Lee told the Rev. pr. J. William Jones of R. chmond, Va, that he did not offer Nis sword to Grant, and NeveC thought of It; that one of the main conditions of the surrender allowed each confcd. crate officer to retain his side arms and it would have been absurd to ten&esc his sword after exacting such a condition. Cen. Lee more, over stated that nothing was said about sword except few words rom Gen. Grant explaining why he appeared without one. If this statement Of facts fails to straight en out the sword controversy, we give il up.-AtllAts Constitution.
