cloud Dressn of Actors.

1t seems to the ordinary observer that as
soon as person adopts the stage as a profes-
sion the aforesaid adopter must instantly put
himself or herself on the outside Of the
aashiest, loudest and broadest clothing and
dress that man can conceive or loom weave.
1t looks to the common, everyday, plain
American citizen that the dress is affected to
save the adopters from carrying perambu-
lator sandwich reading on both sides, 81 am

green letters. The men get into the queerest
cut garments they can find. and the women
are always looking for some headpiece,
waistpiece or gewgaw that will attract the

may make fine birds, but loud dress on the
street does not proclaim the wearer an

fcssion.-Clipper.

Barring 1T tho Knees.

A great many inquiries are made as to how
to prevent pantaloons from bagging at the
knees There is only one answer to these, it
can't be done. Your trousers will bag, and
you can't help it. The bagging can be less
ened by frequent DRESSINGS and taking good
care of them, but as long as men hend their
knees in walking their pants will bag The
skin would also, if it didn't settle back A
great many men pull their pants up on their
knees when seated to prevent their bullying
This is very foolish. The smallest part of the
trousers is that around the calves of the legs,
and, of course, in pulling them up and bend
ing the leg a greater strain is brought to bear
on the cloth. There might be some way to
sponge the cloth so it would not stretch SO
much, but so far no tailor has succeeded in
hardly lessening the cause of the complaint

at the same time make fortune-Tailor in

Training and Discipline for Young Ladies
of the swell" Glass.
What do you think of a soldierly "com-
pany" of girlsi This, however is what is
talked OF, and II is probably by this time in
process Of formation. Readers of st. Mich
olas may remember an article by Lieut. w.
r. Hamilton, U. S. A, which described his
experience In a western college where, after
witnessing the excellent effect upon the boys,
and the girls, or a number of them, with the
consent Of their parents and the faculty, or
CANNED company" and received precisely
the same drill and training In the carriage OF
their bodies, in obedience to orders, in the
practice of arms and general discipline as the
boys, and were found more apt and more
rapid in acquiring proficiency.
Lieut. Hamilton Is now a resident Of this
~ he Ia considered master Of tactics,
rough comparatively O young man, his
Art Of War; being the best authority on
the subject which has yet been published. He
has been specially detailed to perfect sys-
tenn Of semi -Inilitary order among the police
organizations, which shall define both pow
ers and duties Heretofore there has been q

made The treatment Of individuals, the en-
trance into private house and other cdrcum-
stances incident TO his career absolutely de-
pendent, for the Observance Of proprieties,
on his conscience and intelligence. a regular
order has been found necessary in large ana
mixed communities which will fill the place
when those are lacking.
A number of young ladies of the swell"
elass-dwelers at Elberon in summer, in
Madison avenue in winter-have applied to
Lieut.. Hamilton to give to them the primitive
military training and discipline which he
gave to his company Of western girls, and
which made women" Of them-straight,
healthy. handsome and strong His con-
ditions are the same in all cases-written con-
sent of parents or guardians, a suitable uni
form dress and implicit obedience to orders
The dress is a straight single skirt laid in kilt
plaits, blouse waist with naval collar,
loose silk tie and wide soft leather belt
The Importance of the matter is not in the
formation here and there of a military COM
pany of girls, but the possible and highly de-
sirable introduction of military tactics, train
ing and discipline into the gymnastic exer-
cises of girls in our schools. This is great
and needed measure which is perfectly prac-
ticable, and would do more to straighten up
and strengthen weak backs, weak nerves,
weak knees and weakness generally than anys
other remedy that could be applied, and5
would teach them the blessings Of comfor-
table, unrestricted dress.-Jenny June in Newt

"House of Seven Gables.n

A correspondent of The Book Buyer writes
that the "house of seven gables" is still in the
possession Of the Bryant family, being now
occupied by Mr.. Harold Goodwin, a son of
Mr.. Parke Goodwin, Nh. Bryant's son-in-law.
Many of the poets effects are still in the
house. In the library his desk and chair re-
main practically as ne left them, and in the
same room are the paintings given him by
the American artists. The house is kept in
good repair, and the grounds are in excellent
order. The old oak, a favorite with the poet,
was blown down-or fell-last year The
logs are how being seasoned SO that they can
be made into furniture and souvenirs for

A Richly sIerited Rebuke.

The literary wife Of a western senator
went to hear Riley one night; the price for
the authors readings were too high for her
purse, and she gladly awaited herself of re-
duced rnoe to hear the star Of the combine
ton. She was much in earnest 1t CHANGED
that her seat lay among lot of frivolous
women to whom the going was fad"
They did not care for Riley nor his reading,
and they talked small talk all the evening.
The senator's wife was distracted by their
chatter; she could not follow the reader, and
she sent several severe glances 10 them with
out avail. Finally she could sit under the
outrage no longer, and, rising, she said in a
tone loud enough to be heard by more than
those for whom the words were intended:
For Gods sake, women, stop your fool talk
or adjourn to the lobby with it, and let other
people hear what they paid their money for,
not your nonsense" There was quiet in that
neighborhood through the remainder Of the
