Boots and shoes for womeu.

Boots and shoes for women and girls have
never been more sensible, seryiceable and
handsome i'm styles.
The walking boot is made of calfskin,
gOatskin or pebbled morocco, and, in in
stances where the latter material is used,
the cork sole is put on. This has a very
heavy appearance. but is really the lightest
and most agreeable sole to wear, being
warm and impervious to water. and giving
a very stylish finish to the boot
1t is decidedly questionable to walk in
the street in single-soled shoes, these being
reserved for carriage or housewear. The
street walking boot has either a square or
somewhat rounding toe, is cut three inches
above the ankle and is buttoned.
Calfskin boots are cut even higher, which
is very desirable in cold weather; they are
in many cases lined with Canton flannel
The sole is what is known as a double
sole, " and has covering of corrugated
India rubber, which answers the purpose of
keeping out water and preventing slipping.
The boot made in the latter fashion is ex-
pensive, but should belong TO the wardrobe
OF every woman or girl, as in snowy weather
it serves very much better than India rub
bers, which are unhealthy. and interfere
with fine carriage, running down at the
hCCA o4NCi q lew lliliCS NcdlillBs
The cost of the calfskin boot is from Sl2
to SIS. Cork sole hand-sewed boots sell
for from Sill to S13. An excellent machine
made cork sole boot is sold for So, but no
machine boot has the style or finish of those
hand-sewed.
Carriage boots are fashionable with fox
ing of patent leather, the uppers being light
goat skin or French kid. They are single
soled and have heel that is square but not
low.
The "French" or Louis " heels are not
worn excepting for full dress shoes, by
ladies of good taste; they are not put on
any walking boots by first-class shoemakers.
French kid, single-soled shoes with low
heels, are the most in vogue for home shoes.
but shoes Of no sort are so popular with
women for wearing in the house as the Slip
per, which appears in many pretty fancies.

How Divorce isrucreasipr.

The growth of polygamay in Utah was
accompanied by an increase of divorce
throughout the country, which rendered
Eastern abuse of the Mormons decidedly
Ineffective. 1t is encouraging to find signs
that the active warfare now waged against
plural Mormon marriages in the courts of
Utah is accompanied by a vigorous onset
upon the Gentle scandal of consecutive
polygamy." The New England Divorce Re
form league, which was formed in 1881, re-
ports much success in its object, which is to
promote an improvement in public senti-
ment and legislation on the institution of
the family, especially as affected by existing
evils relating to marriage and divorce. But
only beginning has yet been made, and
the necessity of extending the sphere of the
leagues operations is forcibly shown by the
discovery that in Indiana last year the ratio
of divorces to marriages was as great as one
TO ten, and in some other parts of the West
nearly as alarmrng.-New York Evening

If they try to be as agreeable as in court

If each would try to be support and

If fuel and provisions were laid in during
the high tide of summer work.
If men were as thoughtful of their wives
as they were of their sweethearts.
If both parties remembered they were
married for worse as well as for better.
If there were fewer silk and velvet street
costumes and more plain, tidy house
dresses.
If there were fewer ''please darlings" in

Ex-oueen IsabelIa,s Encourage.

The ex-queen Of Spain, Isabella, is ex-
pected to arrive shortly in Paris with her
two daughters, the widowed Countess Cir
GENT and the Infanta Eulalia. The superb
Hotel de Castillo, formerly the Hotel Bas-
ilewski, on the Avenue Kleber. and which
was Queen lSabella's Partisan residence for
some years, is to be refitted and put in COM
plete order for her reception. 1t is not
probable that her former chamberlain, the
Count d'Altavila. will be reinstated in his
post. He used TO be the hands0mest man
in Paris, and also one of the most dissi-
pated, regular Don Juan-looking type of
gentleman. with large, soft, dark eyes
and long lashes-just the sort of a man, in
fact, that creates Juror on the stage
Since his dismissal from the queens house
hold he has lost all mis- fortune, and year
or two ago he announced his intention of
going upon the stage as an opera singer
But he never carried out his purpose and he
has vanished from human ken. 1 wonder
what has become of him? His place in the
queens household is filed, 1 am told. by a
dignihed old grandee, who keeps a strict
watch over the visiting list of his royal mis-
treSs, and will on no account permit the
adventures or adventuresses that rsed to
throng her drawing-room to enter there any
more.-Paris Letter in Philadelphia TeIe-

healthy recreation which maintain the elias
ITCHY and vigor of her unmarried sister: she
can not command for herself those eondi-
tons of life which eonduce to health.
On the other hand, the number of unmar-
| ried women increases voluntarily. and not
OF necessity. The mental life of these for
tunate and superior creatures is free and
untrammeled- The single woman's tastes
are various and refned-her opportunities
for enltivating them practically unlimited.
Whether it be in the direction of society. or
art, or travel. or philanthropy, or public
duty, or a combination of many OF these
there is nothing to hinder her from follow
ing her own wiil-no restrictions but those
OF her own conscience and right principles.
From her stronghold of happiness and
freedom she can help the weak and protect
the poor. She is fitted TO fill place which
has always stood empty in the history Of
the world-that of a loving and tender
woman, armed with official power TO re-
dress the wrongs of women and children,
whose nature and necessities are known
only 10 her.
While losing none Of the fun and gayety
OF life. she is called by religious conviction
TO sand face to face and hanG TO hand with
suffering. To be loving and tender is her
nature. but love and tenderness do not
reach their highest expression in the per-
sonal relations.
If the love of the mother grows by con-
tinually rendering services to her child, the
love of the woman grows by the protection
she gives TO many children and unbe-
friended, lonely girls. AS the mother bene-
hts two or three, the single woman may
benefit thousands. When she throws the
weight Of her intellect, her influence. her
enthusiasm, on the side of the neglected
and friendless, she sanctifies these gifts TO
the noblest purposes of which humanity is
capable. The social, legal, political inter-
eSts Of women, children and young girls
are the charge Of the femme libre of the
future. In this direction is found her new
and sacred Northumberland Re-
view.
