fashions are doing for the women Of the
present generation. To one who is inter-
ested in the advancement of the human
race and who can remember the men and
women of twenty-five or thirty years ago
an afternoons walk on Broadway is full OF
encouragement. To be sure there are still
some traces of absurdity in the fashions
and we can not help wondering why women
do this or that. The high hat at the theater
is an absurdity and vulgarity which is
surely doomed, and the big hustle is shrink
ing most satisfactorily. A few years ago
they were much larger than they are now,
and then at times they would fetch loose
from their mornings and slew around to
leeward, or get unhitched in some way and
would wobble in an alarming fashion that
led the Mortified observer to fear that the
fair dame was about to part with that por-
ton of her anatomy. But the tou,nure, as
they call it now, has come to quite moder-
ate proportions and fashionable woman is
no longer obliged TO perch sidewise on the
edge Of the seat when she sits down.
How they endured the tortures of such
costumes at any time is pulling enough.
But women are strange creatures and their
motives should not be too closely scanned
bv the coarser masculine mind Men often
fiatter themselves that women dress for
their appreciation or to compel their
admiration. But this only shows mans
conceit and ignorance. AS a matter Of
fact women have profound contempt
for mans opinion on the subject of dress,
and so far as ! can judge, the dear creatures
array themselves for the purpose of attract
ing Or exciting the envy of other women.
The handsome toilettes seen at matinees
and lunch parties are a proof of this.
Fashion is in any event curious thing and
il must be some one more astute than | to
account for its yagaries. In the mean
time men deplore, and writers satirize the
extremes and the cynical old bachelors
discuss the whole question, in the smoking
room, over their cigars and cognac
The fact is, that unless man has ear
nestly studied the matter, he knows very
little about it. And after be has studied it,
it becomes q greater mystery to him than
ever before. ALLAN FoRMAN.

The vagaries Of that same flckle goddess
during the past twenty-five years have
been something wonderful, and it il still
more remarkable that women have been
willing to submit to the dictation. Just a
few, among my bald-headed readers, viii
remember the crinoline which made such
immense hips that with the puhed-out
skirts and long, tight waists, woman
looked like peg top stuck into a PIN
cushion. In those days woman TOOK up
more room IN an omnibus or on the SIDE
walk than half dozen men. but the Tar
spreading, inf1exible hoops seemed to keep
the men at a distance, and that was the
reason, fancy, that the crlnoline was dis
carded and another fashion IN figures was
adopted We have passed through the
various gradations of the ''Grecian Bend"
the 'seel-skin'' gown and all the distortions
of figure and sense until now we are
Threatened with revival Of the costumes
of the First Empire, style which, as far as
/ can make out, consists of almost nothing
at all. 1t is hardly suited to our climate.
but it is certainly more classical IN its lines
thaHany thing which has precedent. We
arc getting used, at our dinner parties and
at the opera, to see women scantily clothed
above the waist-and the bathing dresses
at the summer resorts have been steadily
growing more and more decollette at the
other end.
But it requires good figure to stand the
laconic costumes of modern times, and per-
feet circulation and exercise are requisite
for a good figure. High-heeled shoes must
be discarded because they throw all the
work upon the muscles of the front of the
leg and after time the calf moves around
in front, to the utter destruction of all
symmetry. The same is true of the upper
portion of the body; woman who laces
tightly can not have fine neck and shout
ders, the circulation is cramped and their
DEVELOPMENT is arrested. Go to the opera
and you will see the results Of this cramp-
ing process. Women with great red arms
which look as if fresh from the wash-tubs,
and women with lean and parchment-cov-
cred neck and shoulders bare them ruthless
ly to the gaze of an unsympathetic public. !
like brevity, but judgment should be used,
and unless woman has really fine neck
and arms she should beware how she uses
too much economy In making her waists.
/ always have a wild yearning to drop a
plate Of ice-cream down the spine of some
more than usually unclad dowager, or to
splash my champagne on her arms. Per-
haps it is Inherent depravity in me which
prompts such desires, perhaps it Is be-
cause know that the uninviting anatomy
should be covered with something.
1t is In the modern "tailor-made" girl
that you will see the finest development OF
physical womanhood and Of mentality, too,
for that matter, despite the jeers Of the
newspaper wits. A healthy mind in q
healthy body is what higher education,

woman can WELD more influence, political,
social or moral, than ten men, if she only
knows how to use her power. And as
women are becoming better educated, are
taking broader interest in public matters,
in literature and art, ] do not wonder that
mediocre men are beginning to cry out
against the competition. We have only to
glance at history to see what may be the
legitimate outcome of this Improvement in
women. Civilized man stopped advancing
some hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years
ago. There were as great statesmen,
philosophers, and as polished gentlemen in
China three thousand years ago as there
are In America to-day. Egypt, Greece
Rome before Christ and Europe in the Mid
die Ages produced men as able In every
way as the men of to-day. But the women
of those ages and countries never had a fair
chance to compete with the men. They
were kept at home, lily educated and but
little regarded except as toys to enliven q
leisure hour.
When woman of those times had cour-
age to break down the barriers of custom
which hedged her about she was regarded
as marvel. 1t is only within the past one
hundred years that women really began to
make any progress, and, considering the
generations of prejudice and past sup
preston she has had to overcome, what re-
markable progress she has made! A few
years longer and it will not be question Of
''womeus rights" but Of mems rights.
They can accomplish now, almost, any end
they strive for, indirectly; what will it be
when they have the power to enforce their
purposes directlya
Which observation leads me back to my
iyin oil nf g haonty
beng the same, a beautiful woman has ten
times the influence of homely one, and
have made the alarming discovery that
women, as sex, are growing more beauti-
full as well as more brainy. Walk up
Broadway any pleasant afternoon-and
there is no better place in the world to see
beautiful women than this same Broadway
and you will realize the truth of my state
ment.
The younger generation Of women are
more graceful, better formed, more pleas

ence. We have Biblical authority for the
fact that after the Creator had finished
every thing else He made woman as His
browning work. Adam Immediately fell
upon his knees before her and did exactly
as she babe, and Adams sons and grand
sons have been doing the same thing ever
since. Down through the generations from
Adam and Eve, Samson and DelIlah, An
thony and Cleopatra, to the present day,
lovely woman has held the whip hand, and
we Of the present generation have no
cause to animadvert upon the weaknesses
of our ancestors; we are Just as easily man
aged as they were.
Talk about "woman's rights" The dear
creatures have more rights now than they

ing to lock upon than were the generation
preceding them. They walk with 4 springy,
vigorous gait; their checks bear the flush
of health, and they show evidence of a
more permanent beauty than was possessed
by their mothers and grandmothers. Thirty
years ago it was fashionable to be pale and
languld The slender, delicate, interest
ing" girl had the call in those days. 1t was
considered vulgar to be large or healthy.
Within the past few years notions have
been reversed, and women are coming
nearer to the standard of what they should
be. Fancy the Venus of Milo with her su-
perb proportions laced so tightly that she
could hardly breathe and lettering down
Broadway on French heels. Yet that was
the distorted model of feminine beauty we
had twenty-five years ago. To-day the
girls walk ride, row, play tennis, yes, and
box and fence, too-and they can't do these
things trussed in stays and perched upon
three inches of heel set under the middle OF
the foot. There has been gradual yet
sure evolution in the matter of fashions as
well as In education, and fashion has had
more to do with il than any thing elsa

How Stones Of Small Value Are DOctored
by Dishonest Experts.
There is n pawnbroker in Washing
ton who has lost all faith in human hon
esty. Several months ago a nicely
dressed man entered his shop and dis
played a pair of diamond earrings upon
which he desired to ecure a loan. The
ston had that peculiar blush white
color 50 highly priced among lovers of
diamonds and the pawnbroker readily
advanced him $3.50 on them. The
stranger departed. and in due course of
time the pawnbroker tried to dispose OF
them. He exhibited the diamonds to a
weIl-knOwn dealer, who said if they
would stand a test they were easily
worth $500. The stones were removed
from their settings and placed in 4 bot
tie of alcohol. They were then shaken
for about five minutes, taken out and
carefully cleaned. From the beautiful
blush white they had become as yellow
as the Chinese flag. and were not worth
over SO. The expert said afterwards:
These stones were painted. The pro-
cess is a very simple n A small piece
of indelible pencil is dissolved in a tea
cupful Of water. The yellow diamond
is then painted with a fine camel's hair
brush dipped in the preparation and the
stone is allowed to dry. The paint will
wear on an time. but nothing will re-
move it quickly but alcohol. No repu-
fable dealer will have any thing to do
with such stones, but We have to keep
. pretty sharp lookout for just such
tricks as that n I exposed a few mo-
ments ago.--Boston Traveller.
