feminine mind, and no man even attempts to comprehend them. Their progress is ever downward also, and the reproach of the theatre-goer by next season will be thing of the past. Nearly all are edged with nar- row, curling bands of ostrich feathers, which are infinitely becoming. Those who can dispense with strings do so, but it is only broader faces that look we'll without them Oval outlines are greatly aided by little, narrow velvet straps, held with fancy jew elled pins under each ear. For fresh young fees are crisp little bonnets, made of shirred pink China craps, adorned with erect and multitudinous loops and ends of picot-edged ribbon, pink roses and aigrettes and tied daintily under the chin. They are
 worn to concerts, late teas and for evening calls.
 A handsome imported gown is of shot moire in white and gold. The dress is cut in princess fashion, the skirt gored closely in front and very full in the back, the full ness being held in many narrew thick plaits over the tournure. The bodice is sleeveless and is yelled by an odd fehu, one side of which is Of point applique lace Tapped diag- onally from the right side to the left, while the other is of loops of gold satin and white rnoire ribbon laid one above another, ter minating low on the right hip in point to which are fastened long loops and ends of both sorts of ribbon which reach to the end of the moire skirt. The lace side of the fchu widens into two ends yard in width and three yards long. These ends are drawn on each side into long loose panniers that fall to the skirts edge, the ends being concealed un- der the plaits in the back.
 The very enicest and most stylish wear in the way of cloaks for bad January weather are long, close-ftting garments that cover the entire figure. These are made of black, dark blue and green diagonal cloth, lined in waist and sleeves with chamois skin, which yv1th bull nI throughout with good quality of satin. These coats must be very 2 carefully and smoothly fitted, and are usually trimmed either by being braided, the braid set upon edge and stitched to the cloth, or silk passementerie is set on all the way down the front. This latter trimming is made of smooth silk cords worked into round designs and issvery rich in effect. The wrap covers the entire skirt and, while plain in front, is very full in the back below the wrist. The collar is plain and high and is covered with braid. The braided sleeves flare good deal at the wrist, but there are inner sleeves be- low the elbow which fit close for the sake of warmth.

 The 'strusts" received attention from Gov
 srnor Green of New Jersey in his message
 ftThe right of individuals and of corpora
 tions authorized so to do to combine for law
 ful purposes" he says, "is not to be ques-
 tioned. When, however, the effect, if not
 the aim, of such combinations is to control
 the market and regulate the price of articles
 which are useful or necessary to the people in their individual or industrial capacities,
 then their formation is against public policy, which in the interest of the public demands
 that competition shall not be restricted. The almost general formation of these combina- tions at the present day should receive the attention of the legislature, and be regulated within proper and harmless bounds, or pre- vented altogether"
