The First Dependent Pension Law.
Chicago Tribune.
The first dependent pension bill was
adopted in 1S1S.and provided a pension
for all soldiers who had served nine
months and "who, by reason of re-
duced circumstances, shall stand in
need of assistance from their country
for support" 1t has been estimated
that this law would cost the country
100000 per annum, but the expense
was soon found to be nearly So ,000, 900.
The number of suddenly discovered
INDECENT soldiers was astonishing
The applications for INDECENT pensions
were greater than the entire number
of soldiers under Washington's COM
mand at any one time! 1t seemed
not only that more men had survived
than could be supposed on the basis
of any known tables of ortality, but
that they were nearly all INDECENT
and in need of support from their
country. Over one third the pensions
allowed under this first dependent
bill were afterwards found to be
fraudulent. Men were known to
give their property to their children
or convey it in trust so that they
could describe themselves penniless
and get the dependent pension. The
law was afterwards amended SO as tc
require every applicant to file O sche'
dule of his property and take oath tt
his poverty. In this way some 6,OO(
cases of fraud were discovered and
the bogus pauper stricken from the
pension roll. Nothing can be more
certain than that like frauds woulC
be attempted under dependent pen
sion bill at this time.

 heavy. Nowadays the heaviest and
 thickest material a woman can pur, chase is considered the most fashion
 able and it is just such style of dress
 ing that is the cause of halt the weak nesses to which women are sub, ect I should not say much, it is true. for l am wearing thick dress myself, but really endeavored to get the lightest stuff 1 could find aIt had it made as simply as possible: still there is too much weight. 1 think a woman should dress in the plainest way possible on the street. 1 like the Philadelphia style of dressing. It resembles tho English style, while New York reminds me of Paris. 1 do not think women should wear gay attire on the streets or dress in any way to attract attention.
 Women com ain tha they arc annoyed by the staring of men: that men ogle them on the street and in the cars, when, if they did but know it, it is their style of dressing that calls forth all the trouble, their bright colored costumes, big hats, etc., which cause men to lower their newspapers and gaze consistently at them. That sort of dress should be confined to the carriage, where an elab- crate toilet is perfectly proper, but sim p]icity should be observed in street and church dress, particularly the latter.
 We are supposed to attend church for devout purposes, and our outside attire should be such that it will not detract in the slightest from tho solemnity of the occasion and in any way interfere with the worship of God. Let the material of the street or Sabbath dress be as rich as you please and ii perfectly, but it need not necessarily be ugly or disa- greeable to the eye or unbecoming to the person. Have it made to suit the face and figure, but made simply and unostentatiously. There is a growing tendency among cultivated people to decry the loud fashion of dressing, and adopt the quiet and refined style. In fact, it is fast becoming the distinguish ing element between the two classes. Black silk is very good material for street attire, for it can be made as simply or elahorately as you like, and yet always be genteel. In complete contrast to this. I believe that an even- ing dress should be of the brightest and most cheerful hue, the brighte the shade and texture the better it looks. Let 8 woman at such . time make her | self look as attractive as possible, never forgetting, however, to first A0I laCo dIo uoH Ulldb which suits her particular style, but no low-necked gowns should be worn. It is very bad for the health. being the cause of a great many deep-seated colds, etc, but more than all, it is de- moralizing to both men and women. It removes, in a measure the feeling of respect between the sexes. The custom should be abolished.

perfectly, will outlast dozen cheaper garments, and besides it will always look we'll. Jewelry, she said, should never be worn in the street, but as much as the wearer likes in her own home, for evening wear, and here again more taste should be. exercised. It does not look we'll to wear several different kinds of jewels with evening dress. An emer- aid here, ruby there and diamond somewhere else displays bad taste Each set should be worn separately, and she prefers gem of value rather than an infinite number of inexpensive | jewels. For ball dress or carriage costume, Mrs. Astor says, choose al | ways the most elegant m material, whether it he light or heavy goods, and have it made up in some simple way.
 Mrs. Frank Leslie replied to tho question !" What constitutes perfectly dressed woman?" as follows:'
 'The first principle of well-dressed woman is to be well shod and we'll 1 gloved. No matter how shabbily a woman may be attired, if she has on a neat pair of boots, she can consider half the battle won, but not without. So many hansomely gowned women arc

If woman must economize ! let it not be done at the extremities. A woman should dress very sim 1 ply for the street, in rather sombre col ors, and without any jewelry whatever. She can wear her handsome clothes in a carriage and deck herself as gorgeously as she pleases. but whenT see a woman clad in gay raiment on the street, l always say to myself: You have no carriage. You would like to have but you haven't 1 do not care for the now popular tailor made suit. It is too stiff and severe-looking, besides being very trying for most women to wear. A woman who goes to business should be clad in the plainest and neatest of gowns. don't think any one ever de- scribed mo in my office dress without telling about my elegant apparel, hand some jewelry, etc., when in reality l always wear black dress of some soft material. made to fiji perfectly, but in the simplest way imaginable, and with | only plain pearl earrings and pin, be- l cause l think it the proper way foE a woman to dress while at business. It is deplorable that our women mako no especial toilets for the theater in this country. On the other side, if play is stupid, one can find pleasure in looking around at the beautiful dresses, and in addition to this. it inspires the artists | to greater zeal when they look out from the stage upon a handsomely clothed audience. In London, women do not go
