Fortunately there were no sewing ma
chimes then, except the busy fingers Of
ladies, who gave less time to personal
adornment than now. The earliest inven-
ton to facilitate the process Of sewing was
that of Weisenthall In 1756. In his ma
chine the needle was pointed at both ends
and had an eye in the middle, 80 that It
could be passed through the cloth both

Di6srsnces and Likenssses Of Fashions IN
Different Countries.

That different manners and notions pre-
vail in different parts Of the globe is, Of
course, known 10 US al, says the New York
Mail and Express. In some parts Of the
world the lips are brought together In token
Of love and affection, in others the tips Of the
noses. In some places to uncover the head
is mark Of respect, In others to keep 10
covered. Among some nations black clothes
are worn ss = sign Of mourning, among 9TH
ers white. In some lands the dead ars
buried horizontally, In others they are
buried upright In Western countries sick
people pay their physicians as long a. they
are sick, but In China and other Oriental
countries, physicians are paid by their clientA
50 long as the latter enjoy good health. In
Paris, domestic servants are encouraged TO
marry, as they ara observed to be more set
tied and more attentive to their duty than
when bachelors. In London, such mar.
riages are discouraged, as rendering ssrv-
ants moro attentive TO their own families
than TO those Of their masters.
In Paris certain funds are established for
the poor, the yearly produce Of which ad-
mits but q limited number. In London
parish Is taxed in proportion TO the number
OF its poor, and every person who II pleased
TO be idle IL entitled to maintenance. In
Paris the poor are always contented with
their pittance. In London they are 50 In
solent that scarce one Of them win condo-
scend TO eat brown bread. The latter CITY
has accordingly . much larger number Of
idle and prohigate wretches than the
former.
In Paris. il the bills Of mortality can be
relied upon, the births aud burfals are
nearly equal In London the burials exceed
the births by no less than ave thousand
yearly.
Great is the power Of local custom. and II
we take any of the principal events of Iife.
such as death and marriage, we ind the
ceremonies connected with them differing
most curiously In different lands; but
greater still is the power of fashion. and
the human family Is rapidly and cheerfullv
submitting to its tyrannical sway; thus we
md Oriental peoples eagerly adopting
Western habits. In dress and manners the
Chinese, Japanese, Hindoos and Turks are
surely getting Europeanized, and TO-DAY
the Oriental youth, discarding his national
garb, looks upon patent leather boots. tall
hats and frock coats as marks of progress
and civilization.

ton of the value of the present sys-
TEN of dealing with such men.
Evidently, Duane received neither
sufficient punishment nor sufficient
moral training in all his soiourns at
Snake Hill or in the County Jail to
induce him to control his propensities
for drink or change his mode OF life.
Many other cases are recorded in
the police records of Jersey City and
Hoboken which are similar. Quane's
case is not abnormal. 1t is the system
which is at fault.
Harder work, longer terms, less
comfort and more moral training in
the institutions would go far toward
keeping John Duane and those like
him out of them.

Dorothy Apartments.

oFOHN ttS WV 80
In New York they have coined the
term Dorothy apartments" to desig-
nate the feminine of bachelor apart
ments. The custom of living alone,
unchaperoned and unsupported, is in
creasing to a surprising extent among
youngish women in that city. They
enjoy the freedom which this gives
them; they are of course for the most
part people who are not scrupulous in
the exact observance of the conyen-
tionalities of social etiquette, and
once it has been proved that the
thing can be done, and the daring girl
who ventures to do it remain re-
spectacle. the custom is sure to spread
rapidly. 1t is n Of those steps which
conservatives will be sure to deplore,
and it is hardly to be supposed that
many people will at present be glad to
have their women kind adopt this
ultra style of life. 1t is a step, how
ever, that had to come, and it is one
to be commended on the score of COM
mon sense and justice. There is
likely to be little harm come from it
The girl who is vicious will be SO un-
der the present order, and the new
conditions will simply allow her to
free herself from the disagreeable
necessity of some falsehood. As by
far the vast majority of American
women are quite as well able to take
care of themselves as any one, it is only.
justice to give them their freedom. The
whole situation is of course one of the
features of the general movement
among women which is one of the fea-
lures Of the century. 1t has resulted
in the overthrow of religion, or, more
properly speaking, it has been the
most powerful factor in the overthrow
of religion, and it is not impossible
that when the pendulum o1 beliei
shall again swing toward faith the re-
tirement of woman from her present
public position will follow as a
matter of course. However this
may be, it is as well now to
recognize that the old system of lie has
gone by for at least our generation.
and will not be again taken up until
women themselves desire it, as sooner
or la ter they surely will.

Governor Green shut Out.

&Eo1t Wv NV 4 tbtto
A good yarn is being told around
town about Captain Brandt refusing
to sell Governor Green a couple of
bottles of wine the other day. The
Governor had forgotten just what the
GROWER clause does provide, and in
his haste on Wednesday to make it
pleasant for some friends. who dropped
in about lunch time, he hastily sent
to Captain Brandt's for two bottles of
a favorite brand of wine, which could
only be obtained of his friend, with
whom all the prominent Jerseymen
lunch when they come to Trenton.
The messenger carried with him a
check bearing the autograph of the
Chief Executive of the State. The
messengers breath stopped short when
the German captain put on his Bis
marck frown and told him that Coy
ernor or no Governor, / cannot sell
him two bottles of wine. The law
that he signed and approved would
not allow me-
The captain looked at the aston
ished messenger, who stood with the
official check in his hand, and took a
second thought. He remembered that
III. w. Shook, on Warren street, kept
the same brand, and he advised the
young man to go there, which he did.
When he returned to the Executive
Chamber he told the Governor the
trouble he had in securing the beyer-
age, but the Governor smiled sweetiy.

SUMMER DRESS WAISTS.
F4yORI1E fashions FOR YOUTH
FUL md SLENDER FIG URES.
How to Make Them Simple Yet Elegant,
and Attractive to the Masculine
Eye-Some Old Fashioned Designs

How to Make Them Simple Yet Elegant
and Attractive to the Masculine
Eye-Some Old Fashioned Designs
Thet Are Coming Up Again.
There is a very great variety in the
styles for waists of summer dresses. A
favorite fashion for young and slender
figures is to shirr them into a yoke
Another style has the fronts very
slightly full and set directly into the
collar. In this style the fronts are cut
much wider at the top than is usually
the case. A lengthwise plat about
one inch wide, double, is laid in the
upper portion of the waistfront on
either side and closely basted- After
the collar and sleeve portions are
fitted, this plat may be released and
the fullness gathered into the collar.
Great care must be experienced in
finishing waists in this way, as there
is danger of the material drawing
across the front in most ungraceful
fashion.
The guimpe will be a favorite style
for young persons, and even slender
matrons are adopting it with quite
satisfactory results. In this case, how
ever, it has the effect of a yoke, and is
thus robbed of some of its girlishness.
Perfectly plain, close-fitting waists
have collar and very deep yoke of
beaded material, or of gimp or passe-
menterie. Sometimes yokes are en-
broidered, others are made from bands
of trimming which + set on either
straight or bias.
The beaded plastrons, formerly so
fashionable; are less used than the
trimming in yoke fashion. Other
waists have collar and continuous
shoulder sections with epaulettes, and
deep points in front and back. Wide
bands of passementerie cover the darts
of some new dresses; others have
graduated pieces specially designed for
this purpose, the upper portion being
quite wide and the lower portion ter
minating IN a very narrow point.
Pattern garnitures for the lower
edges of waists are imported: also en-
tire waist trimmings or covers, some
of them being in the form of a sleeve
less body, with the exception that they
are without under-arm sections, rs it
is found that passementerie of any sort
under the arms is extremely unpleas-
ant to wear, besides entirely destroy
ing the fabric by its roughness.
Draped fronts are quite the rule for
very thin materials, and the old time
bertha and bretelles of velvet or
ribbon are quiet popular for slender
figures.
