There are as many wise as foolish fashions,
as many beautiful and tasteful as ugly and

without clothing. and why not give tho subject
its Just proportion in our minds2 The day has

to WELD his pom for MW'a's Journal In q series
OF articles on Tho Curiosities OF Fashion"

dresses Of the cloister are not merely pretty.
they are artistic, graceful. and becoming.
However, we need not go to nunneries to sec
religious costumes. During the ceremonies Of
Holy Week, and especially on Easter Sunday
morning, the Catholic and Episcopal churches
OF our city will be thronged with PROFESSIONS OF
girls and boys attired in simple, inexpensive.
and artistic garments, In astyle beautifully OK
pressive OF tho solemnity Of the occasion for
which they are worn. The young girls and
boys who compose these professions are tho
candidates for first communion and conflrma-
tion. They arc attired In the style represented

dark blue or black serge or diagonal. the jacket
sometimes q cutaway, opening over a waistcoat
of ivory white wool serge. Their bright blue

crossing the bosom diagonally. The collar and
cuffs are Of white linen: the necktie of white

RDLsON,S NEW PHONOGBAPH.

|
Carefully Adjusted and Kun by an Electric
Motor-Desirped to Be of Practical Use
Three Sizes Now Being Manufactured.
Ever since Mr.. Thomas A. Edison invented
the photograph he has been dissatisfied with
1t. Like all mon Of ceaseless energy and con-
tinual bright ideas, Mr.. Edison is, in one sense.
always dissatisfied with the practical form and
actual workings OF his inventions. and he Is
ever striving to improve what he has made.
But to the monograph in particular he has
given much Of his time in the past four or five
years. Tho motive power Of the old phono-
graph was the turning Of q crank by tho hand.
which. though convenient. did not give q uni
form speed to the revolutions of tho familiar
photograph cylinder. The old instrument, too.
was made to secure loudness of talking. und
this result was obtained, it was found, Mt tho
expense OF the accuracy and distinctness OF
the machine speech" There were also me-
chanical defects in the old monograph which
made 1t. In some respects. inconvenient to
operate. MIR. Edison has Just completed the
construction OF n now photograph. in which
the faults OF the old machine are remedied, so
far as electrical and mechanical science at pres
ent can remedy them. The new phonograph
works to a charm, and there Is no reason why
1t should not at once como into general use.
Tn now phonograph, a cut of which is here
given. is nothing more in principle than what
Is known to mechanicians as a lathe OF preci-
sion. turned BY an electric motor. In tho cut
