Items of Fashion.

Tulle, worn over soft silk or satin
and adorned with roses, is exceedingly
popular, especially for young ladies.
This season, Jennie June, who is au-
thority in such matters, says, ga de-
butante who goes much into society
should start with at least three such
dresses: one in white, one in carna-
tion pink, one in yellow or peach
tint"
An American lady writing from
Paris describes the following Co.'S
tunes: One was a tight-fitting dress
of heliotrope velvet, worn over a
waistcoat of cream cloth, thickly en-
proidered with silver and gold, and
bonnet to match, with torsade of hell
otrope velvet; another was a superb
dress of vieux rose velvet, elegantly
draped, and a cream velvet bonnet
embroidered with golden wheat ears;
also a charming costume OF
brich-red and gold, with bonnet
to match. Gold-embroidered turbans
are the latest creation of the first mil
linery houses Of Paris. Some are of
scarlet and some of white. They are
made Of very soft cloth, a band Of
gold and silver embroidery forming a
brim in deity arranged pleats. In
front, and slightly to the left side, the
ends are knotted and gracefully
turned Overcome toward the right,
the other to the left. For evening
wear these little turbans are made OF
silk or gold-embroidered gauze. An
aigrette is sometimes added, and
gives very chic appearance.
A costume of ruby plush, and the
darkest sable, and which cost 1850
guineas, has recently been worn by
an English woman of title. The ruby
plush mantle which formed part OF
the toilet was lined with mink and
was made with hood.
Miss Ella Russell, the singer, took
with her to Russia for the last act of
Linda de Chaumouai IA superb dress
of gold MORE antique. The skirt
front was covered with draperies Of
gold tulle intermixed with fringes of
acacias, and the corsage was trimmed
to correspond. A massed garland of
yellow acacias bordered one side of
the train and extended to the waist.

A Novel Occupation.

A young lady who recently fell sud-
denly from extreme luxury to extreme
poverty, has invented for herself a
novel occupation. Like so many other
women so circumstanced, she had no
practical knowledge of the stern ne
cessities of life; and consequently felt
that she was unequal to the emer-
gency. During her palmy days, how
ever, she had made herself remark
able as the hostess of her fathers
elegant establishment. And so,
when thus completely routed
by adverse fortune, she thought her
self how she could turn this, her only
accomplishment, to account. There
fore she consulted her friends who,
well aware of her ability to give din
ner parties, encouraged her. to make
the venture. She did SO, and since
then has become eminently successful.
Her occupation seems to be nameless,
but her plan of action is the ensuing:
As soon as the invitations for dinner
party are issued she discusses with
The giver of the same the various ways
and means. She then orders the flow
ers, favors. etc., and either arranges
the table herself or sees that some one
else does it properly; while all the
the time that dinner is being served,
she stands by like general over
looking battle to see that every order
is faithfully carried out. As her ideas
are highly original, and as she
makes a business of getting all of the
latest novelties from florists, caterers,
china stores and restaurants. she has
become invaluable to the many fash
ionable people by whom she is con-
stantly employed. Upon such strug-
giles and occupations as this the world
poks curio, sly and wonderingly.
It does not see behind the veil with
which the impecunious woman screens
herself the heartaches, the despair,
the utter disappointment through
which size is compelled to look upon
life in its altered aspect. In nine
cases out OF ten she knows enough of

Mrs, HOlub,S

Expedition to Central Africa is some
thing of a realistic version of Rider
Haggard's celebrated "She." Two
years ago she accompanied her hus-
band, the explorer Holub, into the
almost unknown region north OF the
Zambesi. While there she was mis-
taken by the natives, who had never
before beheld anyone with long hair
and skirts, for a supernatural be-.
ing. One of the tribes in
sisted upon making her their
queen, and were so urgent in their
petitions to have her remain with
them that it was with difficulty that
she was enabled to escape from them.
The expedition was a hapless one,
but Mrs. Holub bore it bravely, and a
short time ago returned to Vienna in
perfect health; while Mr.. Holub as
serts that if it had not been for her
influence upon the ma
tives he would have been killed a
dozen times.

EDITED BY BELLE MEADE SMITH.
Lee Angeles College.


The rapid growth of the Los Angeles
College for Young Ladies, which
is at present located upon the corner
of Fifth and Olive streets, is q sub
stantial proof of the interest taken m
educational matters in Southern Cali
fornia. Its founder and principal,
Rev. D. w. Hanna, four years ago
came from Napa with the school he
had for some time conducted there to
this city; where, for one year, he was
identified with the Rev. Mr.. Ellis,
of the Ellis College, in the school then
held in the ill-starred Belmont Hotel.
Then Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Ellis dis
solved their business relations, the
former establishing the Los Angeles
College, the latter continuing with
the original enterprise. Upon the I'd
of September, 1885, the new institu-
ton opened with forty students, to-
day 800 names are inscribed upon the
roll. Indeed, the school has become
SO large that the building it now occu-
pies is inadequate to its proportions;
in consequence OF which large edi-
fee is now being erected at Eighth
and Hope streets for its accommodate
ton. The college is non sectarian,
but orthodox, with high grade OF
scholarship and method in accord
ance with the laws Of health. Its
gymnasium. which is conducted by
Miss Alice M. Broadwell, is one OF its
most prominent features. Consider
able attention is paid to music which
is under the direction OF Professors
Foss and Whiteley. In the building
there is library for the exclusive use
of the Young ladies and in which is to
be found all of the best magazines,
while a progressive little journal
called the Ohre Leaf ispublished in the
library interest of the college. Mrs.
Clara Foltz, who has recently placed
her daughter in the institution, was so
well pleased with the paper, that she
made it incumbent upon the young
lady to become one of its regular con-
tributors. Miss Mary A. Roe, teacher
Of zoology and geology, is the sister of
the celebrated author of the "Bar-
riers Burned Away" and "The Open
ing of Chestnut Burr" Her cheer
full disposition, good conversational
powers and fine mind have made
her highly popular in the college.
Miss Roe has written several books,
and has at times contributed to most
of the leading periodicals. At pres
ent she is too actively engaged to
permit Of regular engagements but
she occasionally writes for the num-
erous journals and magazines that are
always glad to accept the results of
her ready pen.

Too Sure.

There is such q thing as a man be-
ing too sure of his wife; SO sure, in
deed, that he can with impunity over
look and neglect her. Possibly he
recognizes the fact that she is the best
woman in the world; that she never
scolds or frets, or makes his domestic
life unbearable by her unreasonable
demands. Possibly he appreciates
her, just as he appreciates the half
worn shoes that never blister his
soles or cramp his corns. Never
theless, he does not appreciate her
enough to be her admirer instead OF
her tyrant. No bone is so sweet to a
dog as the one over which he has
Fought and bled with rival canine,
and no woman is so dear to man as
the one of whom he is just a little
uncertain. Ii girl has one lover she
is very apt to have two or three,
while the more difficult she is to win,
the more ardently is she beloved.
Society is often puzzled by the success
of questionable and the failure of
noble women in the game Of hearts.
Yet, when viewed from a worldly
standpoint, the riddle is easily
solved. The former demands adora-
tion and excites jealousy, the latter
bestows alteration and by reason of
her incorruptible virtue allays all
fears OF rivalry or disloyalty. Ger
tainly it is difficult thing for wife
to be true and at the same time CO.
,quettish; yet, if she does not wish to
he slighted and forgotten, that is, in
nine cases out of ten, exactly what
she has got to do. Few men are
capable of devotion that is not born of
doubt and jealousy, and fewer still
love woman long who in
return does not love herself bet
ter than she loves him, Cor
appears to-. 1t was very we'll for
Byron, who had deluded women of
every cline, and who was as incapa-
BILE of being true as he was incapable
of being stupid, to say
''This record shall forever stand:
Woman, thy VOWS are traced in sand"
1t is very we'll, too, for the men
who have come after him to denounce
the fickleness of women who, as a
class, are what men have made them,
and who, if they know anything of
life, know, too, that the better they
are the worse they fare. But, thank
Heaven God is more just than men.
He asks less and gives more.

A Powerful Cannon Magnet.

A most interesting electrical expert
ment has recently been made at the
engineering station Of the United
States army at Willett's Point, l.. l..
by Maj. w. X. King, of the Engineer
Corps, BY which he transformed two
fifteen-inch Rodman guns. weighing
so. 900 pounds each. into an immense
electro magnet. The guns were placed
side by side. and joined at the breech
by number of pieces OF railroad iron.
The guns were then wrapped separ ate
" by fine insulated copper wire. over
eight miles OF it being used. The wire
used was an old torpedo cable consist
ing of forty small insulated wires
bound together into cable OF about
three-eighths of an inch In diameter.
The electricity was obtained from
twenty-arc light Weston dynamo.
A number Of experiments were IN ade
with this most powerful magnet and il
was found that force of 20. 600
pounds was necessary to overcome the
magnets attraction and draw the
armature from it. A string of four
fifteen inch shells. weighing 800
pounds each. was suspended from one
of the guns 1t was discovered in the
course of the experiments that there
was II pc mt in the bore of the guns,
aud seven and one-half inches from
the muzzle. where the magnet repealed
instead of attract ng. Small pieces of
iron were propelled from it with force.
while shell placed at that point was
rolled slowly out of the gun until il
dropped from the muzzle and was
caught by the attracting force at the
face of the gun.
1t Is thought that the power of the
magnet would have been greatly in
creased If more wire had been used in
the wrapping and If more railroad iron
had been used in connecting the guns
at the breech. -NeU York Mail

0aason Why Men Whistle.

Whistling was invented to give
man a chance to add noise to other
other noises in creation. The othe r
noises in nature are all attuned
TO the character Of the article
that produces them. The breeze
makes its gentle sigh, the
brook has its peculiar sound, the
storm has its crash and its roar.
Everything made noise in the world
except man when he was alone. A
man cant talk to himself; it is i'd OF ic.
althoug h it is aston ishing how many
people do it. A cough is not very
EMO, abb sound. and it irritates the
lungs to produce it. A sneeze always
goes with cold in the head True,
man can sing; that is. he can try 10
sing, but If it is at all agreea bic it
seems somehow to be wasted if some
bods has not paid an admission fee TO
hear IL That's why women have such
a terrible reputation for talking.
They can't whistle, and they have moth
ing TO relieve the restraint when thew
are alone; so when they get hold OF
any DONf hucF up ioi ~
But whstling was invented TO con-
ceal music You don't need to have
music in your soul TO whistle. 1t is
simply the noise of a vacant mind.
The loud laugh OF Oliver Goldsmith
that bespeaKs the vacant mind applies
to crowd. The whistle shows the
vacant mind in its solitary state.
When you hear man whistle who pal
pably does not know tune. he is
either good fellow or bad fellow.
Did you ever notice that Jews don't
whistle much? They haven't got much
vacant mind When it isn't needed in
their own business they rent it to 9TH
er businesses. But OF all whistlers the
