omen, as rule, dress in order to at
tract the admiration of men, not so much
to please other women. If this be true
and undoubtedly it is, let US see in what
direction the masculine taste generally
runs. Nearly every man is gifted with
intuitive good taste, though utterly un-
able to tell why one style pleases him
better than another or why one Woman's
attire seems to him the perfection of
elegance, and another, equally costly, i'm
presses him as dowdy and common. Says
a close observer: at is men who approve
of black gowns, small bonnets, no bustles,
flesh gloves, dainty shoes and long wraps.
A man may see the use of a short Jacket,
but he can find no elegance in it. He un-
derstands that long cloak, made of rich
material, softened by FUR or sparkling with
jeto. has about it nameless something
that gives queenly look to the plainest
woman
Man has always abhorred the hustle
that expression of fashion which would
make vulgar the Venus de Medici. And
the one M n who rules the fashion, because
he understands the harmony of color, the
perfection of line and the value of stuffs-
Worth-always refused to put bustleS in
the gowns he created. You think it odd
for man to be modiste! Man wrote the
best descriptions we have of the beautiful
women of Athens. A man cher physician
wrote that famous ''BOol1 of Beauty so
prized<by Cleopatra. No less a man than
Ovid, wrote the book of "a Thousand
Qgquetries."

the frou-frOu of silk aud the genuinepess Of

Its cost to farthing; but man watches
the litheness of the figure that carries it.
aud realizes how well suited it is to the
woman inside of it. He sees the folds as
they cling, and he knows that he would
shudder if they stood out stiff and straight
ny reason of an abOminatiOn of wire or
hair cloth beneath them. Men are curiOusly
alike in their opinions of woman's dress
and centuries have not changed them much
You may be sure that when, Mother Eve
sat down to make the first frock of fig
leaves, sewn together with grass for thread
aud thorn for a needle, Father Adam
watched TO see that 1t was suited to her
that the beauty curves were brought
out by smooth leaves and the angles hidden
under gathered ones. 1t was a man who
drew the lire of beauty; to-day tits a man
fenner-whO paints the most beautiful
women. Female artists can do lovely bits
of nature, wOnderous bits of still life, and
good portraits-but not one of them can
put upon canvass really beautiful woman.
And in the matter Of dress-that all impor

with "A model exploited by the newspapers,
by the ordinary dress maker, by the photo

One of fashions pet projects this
autumn is t find novel and striking orna-
mentations for dress waists. At a recent
very swell luncheon party, one lady wore a
costume of beige-tinted glorioso silk "a
new material of very high lustre, that is
greatly in favor at presently, touched off
with rolling collar and deep cuffs of tan
colored suede kid. Odder still is the fancy
for using bands of real silver as thinning.
The meal Is rolled out very thin, and is
lald over foundation of cloth, silk, etc.
For reveres, cuffs and collars nothing can
be more effective, unless it were pure gold
used in the same way. | lately saw a
charming dinner toilet of sevres- blue
Japanese crepe, trimmed with real silver
bands in way to remind one of me LA VI
time, or to suggest a Joan of Arc condo
scending to the ball room. The Japanese
crepe, by the way, Is much bet er than the
Chinese, having far heavier mesh and
being therefore more durable.
The newest things out are beauty pads
for tho cheeks. Hollow cheeks and wrinkles
are very awkward things and hard to over
come. An English physician is now pro
viding ladies who need them with small
pads which are attached to natural or
artificial teeth by means of tiny gold
springs A pair of pads cost about S25, but
is said to make the most cadaverous cheek
round out like that of cherub, and there

age of the wearer. the maker of the pads

The Children's Ewes.

wise and thoughtful mother sends in
the following suggestions in regard to q
very important subject: "AllOw me to say
a few words about the children's eyes
Years ago, when the children studied their
lessons from the books we did not hear
very much about their eyes giving out.
Let US consult our blackboards and see
what they can tell US about this world
wide subject. Dear parents and guardians
all over the broad land, how many hours
through the day are your little children
sitting in school, staring at a blackboard
upon which are placed by the teachers
most of the lessons for the day; many times
the lines being so fine and pale they could
not be easily read more than half or two
thirds the way across the room-but the
children are required to see them all the
WY across and in the remOtest corners.
Many of the children, when first looking
at the board, do not see much of anything,
but after looking very sharp for few
seconds, the lines reveal themselves This.
my friend, means strained eyes, and
strained eyes mean weakened or diseased
optic nerves-possibly no eyes at all, de
pending entirely upon the severity and
long continuance of the strain. Even
when the work is quite distinct, the dis
lance Is many times so great for those who
have naturally weak eyes, that the air
waves coming between the poor, tired
optics and the board, cause the lines to
waver and flicker, and especially is this
the case, when the light is poor and the
ventilation bad. Anything put on the
board, whether for young eyes or old,
should have large proportions and broad,
clear lines Throughout, so that no extra
efforts will have to be made to discover it.
Remember, too, that there is a great diff
ference in eyes; one child will readily see
what another cannot without a fatal strain.
l know whereof l speak, for my own eyes
were nearly destroyed through this same
practice; and l know several others who
have suffered like fate"

During the past two weeks, travelling in

in point of wealth. education, etc. While
the fertility of the soil helps the people to
overcome many other disadvantages, such,
for instance, as a yearly water tax of So to
SO per acre, the extra work entailed upon
them in having to labor both winter and
summer must of necessity have its effect or
their constitutions, and it would seem to
me that they will become prematurely
old. However, the complete escape from
our severe winters may Offset this.

Inhy Lady's Chamber.

A .favorite material for portieries and
haxangs in chambers and summer
roo1Rs is awning linen 1t is easily made
up, easily laundried, costs very little, aud
is really very artistic and effective-in its
proper sphere The color should be chosen
TO match the carpet as well as the wall
paper. If ornameutation is desired, the
white or light stripe may be worked in self
colored cotton, in coarse herring bone or
''feathered" stitch. The lengthwise strip
NAV be worked OF the curtain itself, and
separate strips may be put the other way
across the top and bottom, worked on by
clearinghouse stitch. They should be hung
on plain, unyarnished poles with brass
rings.
Ify0eU are so fortunate rs to have some
old-fasRioned couuterpanes-those home
spun ones our great grand mothers used of
red and white, or blue and white honey
comb pattern-you will find them most
effective for bedroom portieries.
Another kind are made Of white cotton
canvas. embroidered with bold designs in
blue fax; at the top and bottom are placed
alternate bands of blue denim and the
white canvas, each embroidered in simple
pattern with fax of the opposite color. For
designs of this kind the red passion flower
with its running vines and tendrils is
much used.

MILITARY MATTERS.
The Soldiers at Fort RObinsOn-The Sham Bat
tle-0ther Notes.

On the Sth of August Colonel Blunt and
soldiers from Fort Douglas depal ted for
Camp George Crook-a small camp. but in
good location-near Fort Robinson. The
soldiers had very hot and dusty march for
the first week, after which it was not so
disagreeable, TO- the weather turned cooler
and some snow was Travelled through They
arrived at the camp on the Goth of Il e
month. After some little preparations ana
rest, actual camp life was be
gun. There were infantry drills,
which required some maneuvering and
active work. The cavalry and light artil-
lery were also put into service, and with
the 1000 in attendance there was quite an
array of military grandeur. The usual
routine of camp life was gone through, in
the way Of outpost duty and drills.
THE SHAM BATTLE.
The troops were divided into two divis
ions, and the forms of regular battle
were enacted. In the week of this work
the soldiers marched about fourteen or fif-
teen miles daily, though this was not
straight line marching, but great deal Of
skirmishing.
General Brooks and staff were in com
mand. The others present were Generals
Kautz and Wheaton. Colonel Blunt was
IN charge OF brigade, Major hIngle In
charge of artillery, Major Randlett and
about seventy five sub-offlcers were in
camp. Division reviews were held before
General Brooks. This was probably the
largest campaign of the kind ever held in
the United States, and Notwithstanding this
fact there were fewer accidents than usual
A member of the light artillery fell from
gun carriage and was run over but not ser
iously injured. Four deaths occurred, one
resulting from heart disease, the other
three from fever. Lieutenant Lassitcr
said that there was less sickness than there
would have been if they had been at the
fort. The men show the effects of exposure
in their faces. The hot sun and dust at
first, followed by the cold winds at night,
gives them bronzed appearance
