The fashion of wearing odd gloves has not
vet been introduced farther west than New
York.
The prices Of long gloves vary. The plain
addressed kid gloves OF twenty button length
may be bought for $3.50, and those of thirty
button length for IS. The embroilered
gloves are luxuries for the few. If there be
little embroidery upon them they can b. pro-
cured for 500; but really pretty gloves cost
$40 or Sl2. Yet taese prices do not disinay
the fashionable young women and many OF
them have their gloves made to order and
embroidered to suit their individual tnstes.
These Especial orders" cost their fair pur-
ehasers from SIS to $40.
Many q girl has mnurned over the gradual
departure OF thi silk nit. lis appearance
was a boon to every class and condition of
women. The large woman who perpetuaily
fans welcomed tho nit because it was cool;
ln Woman who t .yas diamonds liked It br-
asa it displayed her rings; the young la'iy
40 employs II manicure reioiccd al the pp-
portunity to show her polished nails, and the
girl who counts her dollars was glad on ac-
count of its cheapness and durability. But
the silk NIT is no more a thing OF beauty.
OF worth in society. In its place, Danish and
Jersey silk gloves have been introduced for
occasions where extreme full dress is not de-
manded. Young ladies ought to appreciate
the usefulness OF these silk gloves, for there
is nothing that she has wasted her S. gloves
upon an informal party.
But the subject of everyday gloves is most
interesting to all women. Among the crowds
That travel in street ears and ON suburban
trains it is remarkable how f9w really lady
like gloves are seen. The majority OF the
gloves worn are i'll 1tting-=the fingers are too
short or too long. the thumbs are put on

FANCIES OF FASHION.
WITH THE SOCI4L SEISON THE GLOYE
QUESTION 1LISES.

Nothing Marks the High-Bred Woman
More Di~stinctively Than the Neatness
of Her Gloves-NIuch to Be Regretted

Twenty-Button Length.
Toilet t%rifles, light as air, weigh upon the
average feminine mind. Gowns and bon
nets are, of course, troublesome and i.apert-
ant features of woman's dress, AMI they
often occasion a vast expenditure OF thought
and money. But after the scmi-tihntal mem
tai and financial struggle is over Il protracted
millinery calm always follows. During these
calms girls might easily save up their al
lowanccs If it wero not for the little temp
tations that are constantly lying in wait at
every glove countcr and lurking behind the
placards that handkerchief sales.
With the social season tho glove question
becomes most momcntous. Nothing marks
the high-brcd woman more distinctively than
tho n~oatness of her gloves. Gloves must fit
well, they must %harmonize with the costume.
anil they should never be worn when they
are soiled. These DEGREES Of fashion and
good taste are inexorabie, and surely tho lot
OF the society girl Of limited means is this

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
THE AEUSBOY.

Up from the city's murky streets forlorn.
There comes a ringing cry at early morn,
that lets my fancy pass these stony bounds,
BY limiting Of sweet country sights and sounds.
Down there a little Mercury Of the press,
Brlght-eyed, shock. haired and ragged, as l
guess,
Cries tho damp roll Of Tribunes meath his arm;
The listening walls give back the shrill alarm.
IT'S Morning iaporsi Morning piapers l'still-
Like quaint bird with but one call or triil;
Ills Morning piapcrsl Morning piapersF'-ay,
There is an old world accent in the cry.
Unknown this cuckoo fedGling of the street
Beguiles my lingering sleep with service sweet
OF morning pipers, piping bllthe and clear
From some imagined sward or thicket near.

A Rare February.

February is rarely productive of anything
striking in the way Of novelties. The leaders
of fashion are quite too much employed with
society matters to give much attention to the
designing of new dresses. Occasionally Il
Paris costume comes over, but as Il rule the
seasons supply of fashionable attire has been
planned long before this, it's not considered
worth while to introduce any marked de-
parture from accepted styles so late in the
season.
To hold high novelties for the spring
onenings is considered by far the best policy
after the January styles so late in the estab-
lished.
The present season is, however, an excep-
ton to the general rule. The coming inaug-
ural ball at Washington has furnished the OPP
portunity for designers to prepare some OF
the most magnificent costumes ever seen in
this country. The coming festivities will
doubtless be bril- liant almost beyond prece-
dent, and the gay world must needs have
plumage beGtting the occasion. Dowager
and debutaitte, fashionable leader and
humble satellite, each is vying with the other
in the endeavor to appear in a grand toilet at
once novel, elegant and becoming. 1t is per-
haps cutie safe to assert that hover in the
history of fashion in this country have so
many superb materials been brought under
the designers hands as have found their
wav there for this coming great occasion.
Stately brocades, lustrous silks, and sweep
ing velvets will be the lavorite materials for
ladies' of mature years, while the younger
members of fashionable society will find
more pleasure in light diaphanous materials,
tulle. laces and tissues. The specially in
teresting feature OF this entertainment will
be the number Of empire and dircctoirc eos

pattern is worked with black silk In cross

pleats turned toward the middle from each

It Is now stated as positive fact
that the Hon. James G. Blaine will be

reason unknown to any one but them.
selves they hate Mr.. Blaine with
hatred that is undying, and which
they cannot help showing. The lead
ing Democratic journal of this country
has pronounced Mr.. Blaine the great
est statesman Of the present day, but
this has no effect on his defamers, who
predict all kinds of dire calamities in
the event of his being placed in the
Cabinet. The only way this can be
explained is on the principle that some
persons hate those whom they have
wronged, and II ever man was
wronged that man is James G. Blaine,
who was shamefully swindled out Of
the Presidency 10 1884 by the out
rageous cheating that was done in
New York.

The proposition made by the Re-
publican Legislators to have Oonsti.
tutional Convention held without
reference to any further vote by the
people, will no doubt meet with the
approval of tho majority Of right
thinking people in this State. The
Democrats have put this important
matter of from time ~ time for years,
and while they have always been pro-
fuse in promises, they have never in
tended to fulfill them. Governor Biggs
even in his recent message advised the
Legislature 20 proceed slowly In refer
ence to this question, but as it is the
will of the people that such conven-
ton shall be held. 1t is not advisable
that any heed should be given 70 this

The Democratic organ advises the
fourteen Democrats in the Legislature
10 cast their votes solidly for Mr.. Bay
ard, as United States Senator, and
from this 1t is inferred that the friends
or supposed friends of the Secretary of
State are determined that he shall not
be permitted to die peaceful political
death. The time was, when Mr..
Bayard was mighty power in this
State, but that time has passed, and
when on March 4th he retires from the
position he now holds, he can bid fare
well to political life forever. The peo-
pie are commencing to realize that it
was his hand that directed the forma-
ton of the DISTINGUISHING machine in
this State, which, however, has been
made TO operate on those Of his own
parry who were not willing to be led
like sheep to the slaughter. Conse-
quently even they are weary of this,
And disgusted with the one that con
eeived such q law. The Bayard wor

a Timely Fable.

There was once a good, kind, patient
old man named Samuel, who had a large
farm. He was looking over his farm one
day and he saw q wild-eyed viper coming
towards him. He said to the snake:
"what are you doing here2" And the
wild-eyed viper said: 81 have come here
from the other aide OF the big pond to run
thlngs on this farm" But this Ia my
farm" said Uncle Samuel. 81 don't
care darn" said the snake; al am going
ITO pick out what want of It for myself
and play smash with what don't want
II you don't whack up, will bite you
You are a capitalist and a thief " AND
the good, kind, patient old Uncle sau
listened with smile to the rawlings OF tn,
viper, but when II tried to bite him he pu
his foot down on 1t hard and mashed i

Tho Legislature OF New Jersey met
to. day, and the Prohibitionists Of that
State will soon have an opportunity Of
seeing the result of their work at the
last election. The Republican Legis-
lature enacted a high license and local
option bill ut the last session, but this,
II seems, was not satisfactory to the
Third party men, who OF the last cleo
ton threw all their strength against
the Republicans, and the consequence
Ia Democratic Legislature. As these
members are bound TO the saloon ele-
ment, one Of the first acts Of the pres
emit Legislature will be to repesl this
liquor legislation, and probably enact
other laws at the dictation Of the
liquor men, which will give them even
more sway than ever before. For all
this we trust the Prohibitionists will
find abundant cause to be thankful and
satisfied with their work.

The recommendation of Governor
Hill Of New York, that all ex.Presi-
dents be made United States Senators
at large for life, does not meet with
much favor from the press Of this
country. 1t is contrary to the princi-
pies OF this republic to establish life
offices fer any one, no matter what
position he may rise to. This may do
well enough for monarchial govern
ment, but 1t would never do for this
country. Here man is President to-
day and tomorrow he is succeeded by
some one else, and he again becomes a
plain citizen. That is one OF the
beauties of government OF the peo-
pie, and any innovation would be met
with the indignation of the people.

of his Country, left the Presidential
