The seasons DER, the girls no more,
With skirts Just to their knees,
Trip long the shore where breakers roar
For chilling is the breeze.
Within the hall, at play or ball,
1t is not proper thought,
Short skirts to wear, and so with care
They to the floor are brought
But in distress, girls find their dress
Too short their needs to meet,
And so they bare their shoulders fair
To cover up their feet
A 'tailor-maGe" woman is by no meana
the artificial creature the term would i'm
ply. Far from il. There is perhaps less
room in the premises for artiic al cond,-
tions than in other methods CT costuming
the softer sex. The expression is u'e1 to
classify a masculine style Of fema'e dress
which has withina year or two past grown
into a certain vogue. The tailor-made
gown is simply cut and fitted 10 much the
same style as that Of the upper and outer
garment of masculine wear. It is ord.na-
rily made of much the same sort Of mate
rial as is used for mems costs, and is ex-
tremely plain and devoid of ornament,
either in the way Of external attachments
or color. The tailor-made garment tor
women is the ouigrowth of an attempt to
initiate the masculine costume in plain
ness, without, however, even the remotest
suggestion Of anything unrefned or un-
womanly, and it comes up for remark only
in respect to mere questions Of taste.
The beauty of woman is like that Of a
flower, of nature go delicate and depend
ing on conditions go varied that it is de-
priyed of much of its charm to enve,Op it
severely in dali, neutral tintS unrelieyed
by col7rs or draping. The beauty of al
mes! any flower is enhanced by combina-
ton with others in bouquet. Indeed,
single blossom on long sem devoid OF
folisge is ung,inly and ungraceful to de-
gree which even the rose o. csmellia, most
perfect of flowers, can endure without hav-
ing it's beauty marred. In the same way
women, however beautiful, lose an infinite
charm when they wrap themselves s:verely
in tight-fttirg garbs of dull cclop. So
dressed they are not tv, n s.atesqne, b.
cause a statue mus be white or OF an ex-
t 'enely fair hue t. secure all the best
effects of light and shade, which are wholly
los! in dark colors. Even bror o. is wholly
unsuited for proper effe is in stat

A writer in the Pitts5urg Commercial Ga
zette sermcn;zes On marriage in this style:
'As far as silliress is concerned there IS
probably as much of it in ore sex as the
oth.r Young men are Inclined to think
the average girl silly, but the mere fact
that he does think so proves that he is
silly. Gills giggle, and chatter, and sos
kip, but not more than boys; besides, they
are not so profane and vulgar about it.
The average young man likes vulgar or
even filthy stories. These are not clTculi-
ted 10 enrich his mind or improve his
morals He thinks it looks big ID swear.
AID to smoke, and drink, and chew, and
do many Thugs that he would not tolerate
in a lady acquaintance, much less in
wife. Thea, because woman makes up
her mind that she dosen't want that kind
of a man for hush and, she is pointed out
as a crank or old maid. When women
give MP misunderstanding they will have
better luck As it is now they are too
anxious."
Mems shirts are famboyant in pattern
and color this fall as ever. For ordinary
wear all srts of gorgeous gridirors AID
TO uds are in favor. In ess
shirts the plain toJcm hay largely given
way to ruffl ID and embr6i Tered fronts
Some shirts are made now to button all
the way down the front. Toe styles in
collars era practically unchanged, and
sc.rss and neckties are simply more bril-
liant in hue and more startling in combi-
nation than before.
Old-time indoor sports and games are
revived for small informal parties and will
b, popular, particularly about Christmas,
and such merry pranks as 1.-The Milk
maids Dance" "Jump at the Cherry
Hunt the Slippsr," "Cat AT er Mcu e."
and similar games will make their appear
ance during the winter in many country
houses ard in the city.
A new and most fanciful idel in dress is
the double girdle fer slender girls. A belt
is worn just above the hips and another
below the bust. The effect is to lmpsrt an
