the younger girls, are seen with golden or
with pale chestnut hair and gray or blue
eyes. The dark style, with black eyes and
lack hair, is not more than one-third as nu-
merous as the above. Many ladies of the light
or Gypes of hair aud eyes have, however, dark
olive or even yellowiSh compilations. There
is a shade between olive and yellow that,
combined with the other accessories of eyes
and hair. etc, necessary TO get it off, Is the
most fetching complexion, in my own opin-
ion, that woman of this race can possibly
have. The worst thing about it is, that 1t
rarely lasts into old age, it is apt to
turn tawny yellow later on sharing the
general wreck that old time makes of Next
can loneliness. There are few well-preserved
old ladies here, they become either inordin-
ately fat, or perhaps oftener, exiguously
thin, with withered skin like a piece of
dirty parchment stretched on rack OF
bones The prevailing look on the faces OF
the older females here is one that seems to
denote extreme mental distress; doubtless
they have enough to worry them, for

husband in the world, and the younger gen
GRAFTON of men that are now half in, half
out of their mothers care and guidance, are
probably the most perverse youngsters that
the prevailing age of perversity can pro-
duce. l must remark that some of the
prettieSt faces in this city are thoseof young
girls of the grfsette class. Many of these
would be remarkable anywhere, and any
thing like pretty face among the lower
classes, such as the Indians or half Indians,
is most remarkably uncommon circum-
stance. As in most Spanish-American
countries, paint and powder are freely used
here to conceal the ravages of time or to aid
the charms of nature. The main guiding
principles of their application seem to be to
try how much of both can be put on in any
given space intended to be decorated. l
have seen many young girls of only IA years
of age SO thickly powdered that they seemed
the natural brown that extended around and
behind the ears and away down towards the
nape of the neck in contrast to the -four
whiteness of the face.

IT is oae of the prettiest parks In the
world, comprising about TWENTY-FIVE or
twenty-six acres il the very heart of the
city, laid of into smooth walks between
patches of the brightest and greenest turf
or bed of roses and towering shrubs in
bloom all the year round, and overshadowed
by immense trees beneath whose protecting
arms are placed many rows of benches
where the lounger can sit at ease and hear
the finest lands that the Mexican army can
produce, watch the smoke of his cigar curl
up in lazy rings through the scent-laden,
slow-moving air, or listen to the tinkling
splash OF the fountains and forget all the
trials and cares of life. And yet, these smil-
ing gardens cover up strange tragedies of
the by--one pasU, for the western end of this
fair pleasure ground was once the burning
place OF the Holy InQuisition. 1t is but a
short walk from where the Aztec sacrificed
in blood to where the Inquisitor sacrificed in
fame. .-
The broad alley at the entrance of the
Alameda is occupied on the shady side by
two rows CT plain white wooden chairs fac
ing each other with the width of walk be-
tween them, for on these delightful Sunday
morni lgs there are not benches enough for
the crowd, and the richer don't mind real
Q24 cents for the privilege of sitting
apart from the common herd. Accordingly,
this q st alley is lined on the southern side
by Staid papdS that represent no one knows
how many bags of dollars every one; by
vigila 1T mammas, verjuiced maiden aunts
or by other wide-awake chaperones, attend
ant on a long row of the prettiest and rich
est girls in the city, sandwiched by ones or
twos, between their elders. The row on the
other side of the alley, though far from be-
ing 50 densely occupied, is by no means
empty, for there sit, caparisoned in all the
pan )ply of conquest that the male armory
sup lies, the lovers, accepted or aspiring,
of tle fair ladies on the other side, and we
may wager that, for however vigilant the
du4 onas may be, there are many glances
an smiles exchanged that are all the
o.uer chairs in other shady spots, almost all
occupied, aud many ladies promenading
around, and in order that no fair one may
escape, there is a row, fifty yards long, of
dudes at the inner end of the entrance alley,
formed with all precision into two files be-
tween which the fair promenaders must
pass Every one is dressed up to the mines
and the appearance of the grounds, with
the bright sunshine, the flowers, the vivid
green of the grass and innumerable moving
groups of young and old, pretty faces and
bright smiles, the nurses in sober costumes
with children, bright-eyed and handsome,
cl9d in the prettiest costumes that can be
imagined by taste and love, is like a scene
from fairyland. Among the more soberly
clad civilians roam officers in gold lace or
privates in blue and scarlet; here is a knot
Of trock-coated cadets from the military
school at Chapeltupec, and now and again
rasses squad Of exercising recruits in drab
linen uniforms vigilantly watched by few
officers

These are the days when you study the
walking gown. For these are the days
when the vigor of the summer vacation has
not departed, when the sitting up o. nights
has not begun, when the streets are filed with
women. There comes a walker now walker
with gown of theapproved order. She is 20
and brunette. Her dress is green cloth,
smooth, rather heavy aud very fine. There
is something about the folds and the fall of
1T which tells you it is made up over a silk
lining. The skirt is long, showing just the
tips Of the toes. 1t is cut in straight, full
folds, undraped but gathered to the back
and set out from the figure by one or two
very small steels. The length of it and the
straightness of it make the girl look tall.
About the bottom are run wide bands of
embroidery. The embroidery is set on strips
of green cloth darker than the material of
the gown. 1t is hand wrought with tiny
silk cords, in gold, brown, green and hint Of
pink. The embroidery Is stiff and weights
the gown a little, putting touch of dignity
into its hang. The sleeves are full to the
waist and gathered lnto embroidered cuffs.
The hat is poke in dark green velvet, pro-
iecting well over the face and then rolled
up little at the sides. 1t is trimmed with
half length plumes Of black ostrich feathers.
And the lady behind. That is Nine. Jane
Hading. Bernhardts suave rival is beau
tiful woman, but she would be far lovelier

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-She has come, or
rather they. We have waited for them
long. We knew that they would appear
We have expected them by every steamer
which dropped its load of returning tourists
on our shores. We trusted in the energetic
eccentriclty of young America. And it has
not failed us. They walked up Broadway
yesterday at the lunch hour. When every
body was ON the streets to see. They might
have been twins. They were tall and very
slim, but they looked graceful and rounded.
They had long oriental eyes, brown with
black fringes, and brown hair rolled up high
from their foreheads. They wore-but no.
body noticed what they wore. They carried
each a carved Josephine cane We heard
of the canes in Paris four months ago In
London two months ago. We saw canes in
shop windows month back. At last the
cane has appeared on the highways.
The girls walked together perhaps for
projections sake. There is certain
amount of courage involved in setting a
fashion. One girl appeared unconscious of
the eyes fixed on her. She handled her
stick with tae ease and quiet Difference due
a dainty piece of workmanship. The other
girl was embarrassed. She swung her cane
stiffly and glanced down nervously at the
ribbons tied about it. Once she dropped it
on the pavement.
The lanes were slender sticks of ebony.
They were shoulder high and might tap
against the cheek in walking. One curved
over at the top in the likeness of an ibex head.
The other was finished by round, jeweled
ball. Long streamers of gold colored ribbon
were fastened just above the hands. They
were not ad-looking sticks, but the feat of
carrying them is too spectacular for most
girls

One wouldn't think woman would walk
in a gown like that adjoining the pedestrian
on the corner opposite, but ualuckilya few
New Workers are beginning to do So.
She is young matron just emerging from
picture gallery. She wears small capote
bonnet in green and gray. Her
gown is directoire redingote in
green, hanging straight down at
the sides. The back forms are cut off and
a straight square train is gathered on to
make the breadths of the skirt. The petit
coat showing in front is made of velvety
gray corduroy.
Pretty colors, but how the trailing folds
sweep up the litter of Broadway. Trained
gowns for the street are an absurdity one
never thought to see revived But long
gowns out of doors and scant attire in the
house was directoire foible, and it seems
we are not to escape without a touch of it
in the directoire craze. Only touch as yet.
See, she is gathering up her plumage and
hooking it obscurely under fold of Grapery
as she turns to cross Broadway. Horses
heels are no respecters of gowns, ard no
train that cannot be looped at an lnstants
warning to make graceful short skirt has
any chance of survival on city promenade5.
All walking gowns are long this fall, too
long for dust or mud; not few are let
down in demltrains at pleasure as one en-
tiers gallery OF friends parlor.

Two blocks more and there is Mrs. Pot
ter's pretty sister, Miss Urquhart, out for
a turn this bright afternoon. She wears a
pretty walking gown. 1t is a smooth brown
cloth cut with a German peasant bodice
laced in green and gold. There are green
and gold scrolls on her shoulders and green
and gold tinsels glinting from her hat.
One cannot walk ten minutes without re-
ceiving very distinct impressions of hats.
Millinery is emphatic this fall
emphatic in color and in adorn-
ing Here is an example to think on; a
low turtan bonnet in a very pale yellow
velvet edged about with a band of otter

FILTRATION AS A FINE ART.
CHARACTERISTICS of the Senoritas of the
Mexican Capital.

+in, was created in Aiauieda Park last Sun
day by one of the best known and wealth.
lest mammals of the Mexican capital, who
hoxed her daughters ears for flirting. The
lovely senoritas who throng this popular
resort eve bright afternoon, are always
accompanied by stately chaperones who are
supposed to repress any tendency to flirta-
ZION. But the artful senoritas know how to
deceive them, aud sometimes the chaperone,
remembering her own weakness before the
roses hal faded from her cheeks, looks the
other way when the particular young man
of whom she has heard so many secrets, is in
sight. 1t is small wonder that the Mexican
mi. whose pulses are quick and who is COM
neled to see her lover only when her
m ANNA can see them both, is given to
flirting Are not her eyes the admiration
OF the world, and why should she not know
how to use them? Ne Diosl Are not her
ankles perfect, and is this gift of nature to
be concealed from all eyes but her own?
" bile the senorita believes in making the
most of her charms she is never bold or sug-
gestive in her conduct on the street. The
Alameda is her favorite resort.

The girl with the boa is almost as well
worth looking at as the girl with the cane.
The boa has come out early both because it
is cold autumn and because the boa is beau
tiful. The boa par excellence is made of
monkeys hair. The coat of the ape-the
Egyptian ape mind you-is the craze of
the season. The hair is long, coarse, black,
with a certain sheen to it, beautiful, but
withal unkempt looking. The monkey boa
reaches almost to the tops of a girls boots
when she takes her MONDAY promenade. 1t
is clasped tightly at the throat, but the rude
winds of autumn play tricks with the long
streaming locks, lying in wait around
corners to seize on them boisterously.
When the girl with the monkey boa
chances to meet the girl with lace boa and
they trip along to the next confectioner's
together they Illustrate the fickleneSs of the
American climate most admirably. For
cold weather wear this season lace Is going
to be formidable rival to fur Fur capeS,
fur cloaks, fur boas on mild winter day
overhead their wearerS so numerically and
are responsible for so many coughs and
colds that lace scarfs and lace boas are
meeting with an enthusiastic welcome from
doctors as better suited to five days out of
six of New York winter weather. But the
breeze, if it lifts the monkey skin, plays
battle-dore and shuttlecock with lace, fling
ing it in the very face of blinded damsels
Over in the park you may come across
three or four girls sketching. 1t is a curious
freak they have taken up this October, that
of sitting on bench among the falling
leaves granering in the half denuded land
scape. 1t looks picturesque, and young men
from Offices have favorite walks to which
they are daily becoming more attached on
their ways through the park to and from
the down town Offices An eagles feather
thrust into the hat is the badge of the
sketcher, that and some stalks of the Grim
son cardinal flower or a bunch of scarlet
leaves pinned somewhere on a chic and trinity

HOTELS.
WHAT THEY Do FOR A TOWN IN
BUILDING 1T UP.

Mr.. L. b. Wheeler, the architect
of the Kimball House in Atlanta and
a man of extensive experience, was
in Augusta the other day, when the
following question was put to him;
''In building up a city, what do
you regard the most important fac
tor"
Forthwith came the reply
"A superb hotel. There is no
questioning the fact that the Kimbal
house has done more to develop At
lanta and this state and section than
any one agent. 1t has brought peo-
pie from all over the country. Con-
ventions of every kind meet in ATT
lanta, because they know that they
can get frst-class accommodations.
People travelling through the South
avoid other towns, which haven't de-
cent hotels, and go to Atlanta to
stop at the Kimball House. Moth

DEBTS.

Young man, avoid debt. 1t has
made more drunkards, peopled more
asylums, filled more iails and ruined
more lives than any other one power
on the broad earth. 1t tempts men to
steal; it goads them into lying; it
entices them into deception. 1t is
the father Of murdero9s thoughts !;
the boon companion Of treachery /;
the traducer Of character, and the
assassin of good credit. 1t destroys
manhood it hardens CONSCIENCE; it
weakens courage it makes towards /;
it demoraliseS honor; it winks at
trickery, and embraces rascality. 1t
poisons the mind; sears the con-
science embitters the heart; robs
life of its pleasures and fills it with
gall. 1t drives men from palaces to
poverty; from sanity to madness
from hilarity to hopeless; from heav-
en- to hell.
