Women and Costume.

Seribner.
1t is the wearer who makes the sue
cess of dress, and great secret of the
Partisan dressmakers' art is that they
adapt their fashions to the individual
customer, and happily, if the wearer be
a FrenchwOman. they meet with hearty
cooperation. There are few who do
not understand what suits them.
They make a study of face, figure,
and carriage, and though their garments
are costly, they do not have too many of
them. They make each new dress part
of themselves, and realize its effect in
motion and in repose. They raise the
toilette" to the dignity of fine art,
and, moreover, succeed in producing
perfect result. The cOlOrs worn are
often daring IN Their combination, but
they are so skillfully handled that they
never produce diScordant effect.
We are much pleased to learn that
the different associations that are now
sbeing formed for teaching ladies the
ssssEt Of dressmaking are tolerably success
eTil. Music and painting are accom-
pIishments, but dresSmaking is neces-
sity. and all women should show their
appreciation of art by making and put
sting on their dresses artistically. No one
who has an eye for beauty of form can
avoid seeing the difference between an
artistically dressed person, however
simple the toilette, and one who is i'll
dressed. The human shape is beauti-
full by nature, and ought not to be dis
figured by its covering.

A SHATTERED ILLUSION.

That brought the maid and me together;
At table d'hote one night at eight
Our talk began about the weather.

But this displays no lack of breeding.
Our seats were next each other, so
It was a natural proceeding.
She dressed in stunning English style;
Her hair was neatly cooled and braided.

If home for eyes so softly shaded"

Was interspersed with frequent "fahncys."

CARMEN sII.yA,s THOUGHTS.

To have received many wounds will
make you hero in the eyes of some,
while others will regard you as an in
valid.
When we wish to affirm anything it
is easy to call on God as a witness, for
He never cOntradictS.
Many persons criticiSe in order not
to seem ignorant; they do not know
that indulgence is mark of the highest
culture.
One must be either pious or philo-
sophical, and either say, Lord, Thy
will be done?" or, Mature, / accept thy
laws, even though they crush me-"
Contradiction animateS conversation;
that is why courts are generally mOnOt-
OnOus.
Princes are brought up to live with
all the world-all the world ought to
be brought up to live with princes.
To be the friend of sovereign one
must be without passion, without am
bilion, without SeltShneSS-far-se seeing
and clear-seeing-in short, not man.
A prince has, in reality, need but of
eyes and ears, his mouth only serving
him for smiling.
These words of the Bible are often
quoted: "Put not your trust in princes"
but the end is forgotten-''for they are
but men,"
Study we'll the human body; the mind
is not far off.
Mans honor means armOr, and carries
a mace-woman's honor has only soft
breezes and perfumes.
Animals are free in their own ele-
ment; does our slavery arise from our
being so rarely in our element?
Man is an enigma from his birth to
his death; one thinks to understand
him by dissectiOn-a child breaks his
toy to see what is inside.
Man is a violin, and it is only when the
last chord is broken that he becomes a
piece of wood.
Some people can defend themselves
with the horn of bull, others have but
snail's horns.
One needs knowledge of mankind
before one can be simply and wholly
ones self.
If we are created after the image of
God, we must in our turn be creators.

blage OF EolIan harpS. whose notes are

To see ourselves as others see u.s.,
And it must be confessed that this
wish arose in the heart OF Burns under
a provOcatiOn which would nave ex-
tOrted the like from one far less sympa-
thetic. 1t is probable, also, that no
philanthroplc utterance has ever nad
more devout repetition; it has lived IN
the echoes of the successive generations
from Burns down, in the words of
Burns: but the sentiments he happily
and Immortality embodied did not walt
for Burns to originate. Since the race
began every Individual of that race mas
had some ardent well-wisher who has
devoutly desired for him that he might
see himself as others see him.
The ''giftie," which Burns hOpeleSsly
invoked from some Superhuman power
for his Jennie, has come to be consld-
cred of all gifts the most desirable and
the most impossible.
1t might be an interesting waste or
words to attempt to prove this seeing OF
ourselves by ourselves, as we are seen
by others, not possible thing. Ihlngs
which involve a discussion of the ego
are always more or less attractive, ana
less or more profitable; and L have no
doubt very successful multiplication

about darkening of counsel on this
subject. But the subject admits OF no
proof. 1t constantly proves it elf.
There is no more common experience In
life than this confronting the portraits
of ourselves as others paint US. Whether
we will or no, we are compelled to see
ourselves as others see us.
There is atwO-fOld implication i'll this
couplet of Burns, which is false. Tine
first proposition to be inferred is that
others see us more truly than we see
ourselves; and the second is that we do
not see ourselves truly at all. The for
mer is received as an axiom; the latter
is capable of vast array of argument
to sustain It; and both are venerable
and mischievous lies.
One should not pull down unless he
can also build up. No one should act in
the role of Nihiist unless he is pre-
pared TO assume that of reconstructiOn-
ist. Having been bold enough to deny
the two propositions which l infer from
the famous couplet of Burns. l must
dare, as well, to offer substitutes, which

ual of the race whose experience in life
has been ordinarily comprehensive. may

He rarely dons a Prince Albert. He
usually wears Derby or small SLOUGH
hat, and a turned-dOwn collar with a
plain. black tie. The doctor is fond of
low shoes.
DR.. Baker is another fine dresser. He
is one of those who believe that one
might as well be out of the world as out
of the fashion. He wears frock coat
altogether, and striped pants of Scotch
wooden goods. A silk hat adOrns his
well shaped head, and one of the latest
style collars with the edge folded down
encircles his neck. A brown colored
spring Overcoat completes his toilet.
The distinguishing Characteristic of
DR.. Amor's dress is silk hat which he
wears on all occasions, professional or
otherwise. The doctor is seen at his
best when in the saddle, kind of exer-
else to which he is most devoted. He is
partial to blue cOlors and his coat, gen.
orally a three-buttoned cutaway, is of

In the long run, near its end, the two
views coincide; more and more, as ex-
perience deepens and widens, does Johns

approximate to Gods John. Less and
less can DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde in

More and more do we lose power to

point is reached in the game when hide

wish is always devOutly made in behalf
of another person. No one wishes to
see himself as others see him, but he
has some good, unseltish friend who

In this connection it is also worthy of
notice that if this disinterested wish on

As far as wearing good clothes is con-
eerned, in the parlance of the day,
there are no flies on the members of the
medical fraternity. AS a general rule,
1t may be said that doctors are not dress
ers. They do not go in for high-priced
clothing, but attire themselves in plain,
substantial clothing. Perhaps, in no
other profession is it so essential to
look trim and neat in dress; and the
slouchy man can often attribute his
diminutiVe practice TO his personal APP
pearance. When Shakespeare wrote
1.-THE apparel oft proclaims the man,"
no doubt he had in his mind the MEM
bers of the medical profession. Among
the st. Paul doctors the number of
slovenly dressed are few and far be-
tween, and when such are found 1t can
be put down as fact that those who
are Indifferent about the clothes
they wear are generally Indifferent in
their attention to business.

ing from his clothes alone one comes to
the conclusion readily that the doctor
is a sensible man.
The same thing may be said of DIR.
Harry O'Brien, another of the rising
young Nj. D's. lie believes that the APP
parel, to great eXtent proclaims the
man, and for this reason dresses himself
not as fashion but as good common
sense dictates. He usually wears
three-buttOn cutaway generally of some
blue material, trousers of grey shade
some Scotch goods, and derby hat.
A turn down collar and a neat black tie
complete his attire.
Dr. James a Markoe is. another man
who displays a great deal of taste In
dress. Like his friend, DR.. Wheaton,
he wears his clothes all of the same ma
terial. though differs from in in that

to his body, and despises the present
fashion of baggy trowsers. The doctor
has trim, neat figure, and whatever he
wears is becoming to him. He has
penchant for blue or black in preference
to light goods, and always wears a
three-button cutaway. A dressy SILK
tile tops him off.
DIR. Howitz is a nObby dresser. Like
Duffy, the swell, he is always in the
fashion. He wears neat silk hat on
his head and a pair of the latest-style
eye glasses on mis- nose, giving him
somewhat the air of a professor.
