Praying on BROOKLYN Bridge.

"Do you see that old woman there2'
said bridge policeman who is stationed
at the New York end of the big aeria
thoroughfare to Brooklyn TO Sun man.
"Just. watch her and see what she does.
She was tidily-dressed old woman,
with pale, sad face. and she was max.
ing her way slowly through the tangle
of trucks, carriages and pedestrians in
Park row, opposite the bridge entrance.
She reached the curb at last and slowly
mounted the steps to the bridge en-
trance. Instead of following the crowd
to the cars or footway, she went over to
she stood moment as though mcditat-
ing. Then she suddenly knelt down,
and, with h r eyes closed and her head
bowed, began moving her lips as if in
prayer. She was on her knees but a
moment, when she got nimbly to her
feet and moved toward the promenade
entrance, where she paid her cent and
started on foot toward Brooklyn.
"Every day at about this hour that
same woman comes here and goes
through precisely that same programme.
I asked her one day when she started
away what was the matter, and she said,
Il was only praying and that is all I
ever got out of her. Whether she is
afraid the bridge will fall when she
gets on it. and so prays before setting
out on the dangerous journey, or whether
she is in the habit of praying at about
that time of day and finds the bridge
entrance nice retired spot for religious
exercise, 1 never could find out. All I
know is that she comes every day and
prays every day. and seems perfectly
rational, respectable old body. The fact
is that we here on the bridge do see
some queer specimens of humanity
among the tens of thousands who go by
us every day."

Egyptian Temples.

Neither the boldest imagination nor
the most exact study can enable US to
learn an adequate conception Of the
splendor of an Egyptian temple in its
perfect state. The vast space is oc.
cupied; its lofty gateways; the long
avenues OF sphinxes: the glittering
obelisks and the lifelike expression Of
the monstrous statues, form combina-
tion of most imposing architectural
grandeur. The usthctic qualities of
these structures cannot be brie Y
summed mp. AS we ponder them we shall
be willing to acknowledge, for we shall
discover, the exceptional constructive
mower of the ancient architects; we shall
see see how closely they followed Nature,
and at times drew as we'll upon foreign
art, though always preserving their own
principles of form. We shall also OBJ
serve how fancy and "feeling" are dis
played in their temple decorations.
besides, there is always one grand i'm
agiuative vein running through all their
work-whch expresses the principal
idea of their faith -imperishability.

Fashion Notes.

Cloth jackets are as popular as ever.
Oriental combinatiors of color are in
vogue.
Russia leather in all colors is worn
for house shoes.
The favorite tint in hair is one shade
lighter than bronze.
Lace skirts are generally accompanied
by silk blouse waists.
Ostrich tips and plumes are extensively
used on fashionable hats.
Braiding is without question the
favo1ite trimming of the season.
Ribbons for hat trimmings vary from
two inches to a quarter of a yard In
width.
Some of the elegant winter wraps Just
imported are long cloaks in cloth, plush
or velvet.
The most elegant winter wraps are
cloaks of the new cloths, matelasse, plush.
or velvet.
Ronnet strings of velvet ribbon are
much worn, but the trimmings are OF
bias piece velvet.
Some of the latest dress goods shown
are damasks, matelasses, finely powdered
royale, and brocades in great variety.
Flat fronts in plaits from belt to foot,
or long draperies nearly covering the
lower skirt, are seen on the new dresses.
On Directoire costumes very large
buttous are used. 1t is not deemed en-
travagant to pay $40 dozen for them.
There is no fullness in the front of the
fashionable skirt. A good effect is pro-
duced by the use of fiat plaits from
waist to hem.
Cord passementeries are the fashion
able trimmings. They have knotted
cords in loops for epaulets and for dan
Cling fringes.
Heavy lines of broad stitching on the
backs of gloves will not be worn this
season, the narrow lines of former sea-
sons supersediug them in podular favor.
For evening dresses and mantles there
are tiny dotted royale grounds with
stripes like soutache work on re.eda,
pomme, tilleni, rouge, and light brown
grounds.
Dresses made in strictly Empire style
have the skirts becomingly draped by

on each side just below the waist and

Square Shoulders.

Fashionable girls in New York are
apparently gone daft on the question OF
square shoulders. Anything to equal
the pose young women now affect, is
diiiicnlt to imagine. While they are on
their feet they are beautiful to look
upon, and beyond criticism or cavil. 1t
is when they are seated that the great
and glaring flaw of the present artificial
and fashionable construction of the
American young girl becomes evident.
While they succeed in holding their
shoulders back, it is impossible to keep
the neck at the same angle, when seated,
unless their faces are held at the same
level as the ioor. Hence, their heads
necessarily droop forward, leaving a
long and noticeable distance between
the neck and the back of the high
collars. 1t gives the effect of cut throat
suffering. But it is remedied when the
girl leans forward again, or rises to her
feet. Then everything fits in with the
correct and shapely beauty that is the
second nature of Americas most beautl-
full and famous product.-Argonaut.

Queen Emma of Holland.

Cutie a singular style OF woman is
Queen Emma, says Hague letter to the
Philadelphia Ealietin, to whom the
Dutch are reconciled only because she is
q good nurse for their King; popular she
could never be, because the Dutch detest
even the most talented Germans, and
Emma is a princess of Waldeck-Pyr
mont. However, the King adores her
and is only contented in her society and
she seems to think there is no difference
between thirty years and three-score and
ten. When William went to Potsdam
to attend the marriage of his brother he
little dreamed of marrying, but he met
Helen of Waldeck-Pyrmont, now
duchess of Albany, and felt that at sixty
one life might recommence were she to
become the Queen of Holland Helen
looked upon her aged admirer with
scorn and refused his flowers and jewels.
One day William overheard Emma say to
her sister: II should never refuse to
become Queen" "Ah." he exclaimed,
''as you find your sister is wrong will
you marry me2" Immediately she &C =.
cepted, and in 1879 became Queen of
Holland. Those who were at the Dutch
court when Emma made her eutree say
she was simple as child; that she looked
upon her palace as marvel, danced and
laughed as though she were not con-
scious that the courtiers were criticising
her every gesture. The aged husband
was shocked, but very kindly led her
to the portrait of his mother, the proud
Marie Paurowna, and said "She never
danced; a Queen should never laugh
in public.;' Emma, like ''country
gretchen" accepted the rebuke with
good grace, and 'since then," say the
Dutch. "we have nothing serious to
criticise III her department, but the
manner in which She murders our
language We can hardly forgive" Al
ready has Emma begun to teach the
Frint tess Wilhelmina the duties of a
sovereign. When, in 1885, the king was
ill and the socialists very daring. Queen
Emma, without a word to her husband,
calmed the disturbance in three days.
Of her daughter she wishes to made q
king, not a queen. Not long ago her
horses ran away. The coachman was
thrown out, and she, with Wilhemina,
just escaped. Orders were given to bring
out fresh horses, for IF we do not start
again my daughter will learn the mean
ing of the word fear"
Queen Emma is a brunette rather
pretty, according to the Germans beauti-
full, but a peculiar habit of w!nking
detracts much from her appearance
Over the king she has control, and if he
objects to any decision made by her she
threatens to leave the palace to him-a
dream of unhappiness. Every day the
royal family dimes at o'clock; after
ward there is music and reading by the
queen, whose audience consists usually
of her husband, daughter, and the .ionk-
heer Alewyn, the only person whom
William cares to see.

Long Lost Tapestry.

"Whcn Marguerite of France was
married to Victor Amadeus of Savoy,
she took with her to Italy twenty pieces
of the very finest Gobelin tapestry, il
lustrating classical legends" says Lon
den Iru.A. This unique tapestry,
which was of immense value, disap-
peared mysteriously when Napoleon in-
vaded Italy, for it had been hidden
away in case the French might think
proper to carry it of, which they would
certainly have done. 1t had been so
carefully concealed that, after some
years, when calm was restored, it was
found impossible to discoyer it. and the
two officials who had put it away were
both dead. The tapestry had been al
most forgotten till Nbout month ago,
when the Marquis Villamarina, the Mas
ter of the Royal Household, was max
ing thorough investigation of the pal
ace at Turin from roof 10 cellar, and be.
hind some huge chests in storeroom in
the highest story he found a secret cham
Der, in which was concealed the long
lost tapestry, and it has been very little
injured by its hundred years of hiding.
King Humbert has ordered that the ia
pestry is to be carefully repaired and
cleaned, after which it is to be sent to
Rome and hung in the Guirinal, in the
apartments which the Emperor William
is to occupy during his visit next
month"

Climbing Mount st. Elias.

Mount St. Elias promises to be the
future mountain climbing center of this
country. A traveller who hats returned
from there, after failing to ascend to the
summit, reports that his party, after sur
mounting great difficulties, reached L
height of II, 500 feet, and were then
compelled to abandon the enterprise.
The ascent was covered with ice mounds,
strewn with boulders. Tie party were
at one time knee deep in snow, and at
another were wading through icy waters
fed by glaciers. He believes the noun
tain cannot be ascended without the as
sistance of trained Swiss mountaineers.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
Double GfrdIes for Slender Girls.


A new device suitable for the cos
tunes of slender women is the double
girdle. The waist of the dress for this
purpose is made unusually long and
loose, and then a metallic belt of some
sort is worn Just above the hips. while
another encircles the body three or four
inches higher up. The effect is to i'm;
part an appearance of suppleness and
grace. The suggestion for the duplicate
girdle was probably found iu the ballets
OF the Eastern nautch girls. 1t is GER
tainly novel. 1 saw at Lenox several
elegant morning dresses made for these
double belts in India cashmere and
faille, in contrasting colors. Some OF
the tea gowns similarly cncrclcd were
wonders in richness. The picturesque
and fanciful costumes of Oriental coun-
tries had all been laid under tribute to
furn sh ideas for these luxurious gar
ments. Pres.
