1t is quite the thing to
have short fringe of friz-
zlsd hair following the pointed out
line of the bonnet from the top to the
ears. 1t the bonnet is black and the hair
light the effect is very pretty. When
one wishes to adopt the masculine style
of suits, with perhaps, stiff derby,
ETC., for horseback riding purposes, a
habit hat, she braids the hair in two
strands and pins il close to the head IN
many circles. The hair is frequently
drawn up by this class straight and plain
and arranged on the top of the head so
as 10 be completely concealed by the hat.
Curl papers are such an object of aver
sion and the habit OF appearing in them
through the day has received so much
adverse criticism that the frizzing irons
aud curling tongs have taken their place.
Ladies' who do not care to spend so much
time In the arrangement OF their hair
keep on land many styles of FALSE bangs,
curls and hair pieces. which are used as
the occasion demands.

Chnt on Fashions,

As the November days draw nigh
women. especially young woman, re-
member that evenings at home, at the
theater aud at the dance will be the
rule, and that the short lull between
summer gHyeties and winter festivities Is
e: last over. There is occasion for
thankfulness for the woman who takes
thought for her raimept, and what
woI nm does not, that her day is in the
Nineteenth century, period In the
worlds history when traditions and IRON
bound customs are cast aside aud indi-
vidualilty asserts itself. or course, In n
transition period there is often found in
cOngruity and strange commingling;
renaissance and modern ideas are oddly
blended, but rs absolute rest can never
be progress, fixed exactitude in modes
as in welghtier matters would bar future
improvements.
Writers on fashion say that the adj
vancing ssason will be distinguished by
oostuming after fifteenth century mod
els, aud that this style has become pop
ular because OF the Tudor exhibition re-
Gently held in London, where were to be
seen the faded tneres of the unhappy
women born 10 high places. Women
whose drstiuips were SO unhappy as 10
awaken no spirit of envy In the bright
woman u to-day. Their tinery like their
history is faded, they made no name for
themselves 10y sublime lives, and
The tinsel of their garnitures ia as tar
n!shed as their characters, women who
were intriEuants oply. and as one has
said left nothing to posterity but their
pedigree and petticoats. Still the latter
were often pretty and graceful enough TO
De admired and remembered. It may be
well TO say these qualities were due in
large measure to rich stuffs, pure silver
ana gold and genuine gems, which no
nineteenth century cheap imitation can
successfully initiate. When Anne of
Clvves, who loved dress with womauly
ardor, wore the green and red Colds, the
puppies and the yellows that delighted
her feminine heart, these were not the
cheap tawdrIes that can now be pur-
chased for song, any more than ma

taste for dress and love of finery in
creases in the ratio of the squares of
their age. For instance, at six 1t Is only

October days call for warm clothing,
even if the suns rays seem hot ut times,

give way for light woolcns. Plain
woolens call for a little silk embroidery
in light running pattern, which may be

there will be noticed number of pleated
effects, all very graceful and pretty
The felt and velvet hats, too, are de-
serving of attention, particularly the
beef-eater. One Is eoquetishly tied
under the chin, and two have fiaring
brims. Children g hats should never be
overloaded with trimming. Don't
smother a rosebud under O handful of
feathers, nor weight lily with a cab
rage of velvet. All feather effects
should be light and airy, oftentimes only
two Quill feathers being used to set of o
Tam O'Shanter, Scotch cap or TyrolIan

In some Of the modish cloth costumes
for children the cape is made of the sams
material, ACCORDION pleated and set on q
square velvet yoke, back and front.
The dress itself Is close fitting and worn
with a velvet waist belt, and the back OF
the skirt is double-bo pleated. A very
pretty effect is attained by making use of
q nutmeg-brown cloth with q chocolate
brown velvet. The skirt and cuffs have
q stylish finish given them by two rows
of velvet in the darker hue. With this
altogether charming dress, which should
reach slightly below the knees, toque-
shaped hat of the Tam O'Shanter style
may be worn In many cases with good
effect, the same velvet being used for
the hat, which may be set OF by two
speckled brown and yellow quill feathers
placed on one side and pointing partly
forward. The pieaied cape should be
pretty full and reach to the elbow.

And speaking OF children of noble
lineage, here in the last illustration
YOU IL find Little Lady Fon tlareine,
most picturesque and sympathetic little
parsonage wearing a doctors black vel
vet hat set coquettIshly upon her thick
tresses of golden hsir. She is dressed for
what the French call promenade In II
carriage, " and wears an extremely be-
coming cloak with wide sleeves, corde-
lier's girdle and capuchon embroidered
with scallop shells in token that her an
cestors followed Ceur de Leon 10 the
Orient and fought against the inhdel.
This cloak reminds me that verv pretty
cloaks and frocks, too, NAV be made
from the beautiful printed fl8unels now
so fashionable and cheap witbal. Some
of theD have the ground in q very light
beige, only shade or two lighter than
ecru, with the patterns printed in red
and white. / saw child s dress made
up from this material the other day and
it struck me Us being extremely stylish
and original. The skirt was plested and
the waist was made with blouse front
draped from the shoulders, opening low
over the blouse and falling in loose
bag over the ribbon sash. The blouse
was of surah, pleated on one eide but
plain on the other. The collar was of
the pleated surah and so was the lower
part of the sleeve between the long muB
and the reversed cuffs. All in ali it was
a very charming little costume.
Another pretty costume for a young
girl was chinchilla gray WOODEN en-
broidered with little light embroidery
in black silk, marking the deep hem OF
the skirt which was mounted with

their hair most unbecomlugly dressed,
railing about their faces when it ought
to be put back, and put back when It
ought TO be displayed in front.
In the fourth illustration these two
modes of wearing the hair are very ar
tistically pictured, and pleated and
plain dresses are also set in pleasing con-
trast. / need hardly remark that no
matter how richly and becomingly
dressed little girl may he, unless she
has an erect and easy carriage and lIfts
her feet aud sets them down with
graceful movement and an air of con-
scious power TO locomote-if l may be-
pardoned q horrid word-without any
display of gauoheris or oonstrnint, she
will never be taken for the daughter of
noble parents living incog in this hemis-
phere until their estates shall have been
restored TO them.

striped material. School dresses ike
this one should be couspicuously plain.
The skirt may be plsated in some neat
manner all around or else double box
pIeated at the back only. Such plain
WOODEN may also be prettilY relieved by
two rows of ribbon near the bottom OF
the skirt, same at the cuffs, and sash
harmonizing IN color.
Nothing could be more erroneous than
the idea that children . dresses call for no
particular thought. The truth is, il is
more difficult to dress child becomingly
than q grown person, for the reason that
the picture is so delicate that without
great care you Il destroy its beauty in
framing it.
If the tiny maid in the second illustra-
ton could face about we should discover
how charmingly becoming a students
cap is at times to little heads wreathed
in thick tresses, no matter whether
Ginning with the gold OF autumn leaves
or black as the velvet pansies of early
spring.
Pleated skirts, capes. bodices, chemi-
settles, etc. are all extremely becoming
to children, more especially fer those
sprite-like figures which fit about us
with such graceful velocity that we in
voluntarily glance at their shoulders in
search of wings.

She stands on the rampRrts to-day
To herald the dawn, and the cerements
Other past are folded away.
She stands with the prophets and sages:
She speaks, and her tongue is a flame
Leaping forth from fires which for ages
Have smoldered in silence and shame.
Her feet have come up from the valleys,
They are climbing the mountains Of light,
At her call the world rou3es and rallies,
Bearing arms in the battle of right.
She treads on the serpent. that struggles
And grinds out its life meath her heel;
She grapples with sorrows that wrong her.
Converting her woe into veal;
Made strong through her slaughtered affections
She comes, with her sons by her sias,
An angel OF power and prctsction;
Their beacon light, leader and guide.
No longer a timorous being,

But qtick to divine, and fsr-seeing,
She hastens the purpose OF God.

formed by crossing the material over q
gray velvet plastron. The collar and
deep cuffs were also OF the velvet
There were also three rosette bows
of gray fallIe ribbon, one at the waist
and two lower down, all three in line
with each other.
Plaids of all kinds, in wool, silk, and
silk and wool mixtures will also be favor
tie materials for children's dresses this
fall and winter. The plan is usually to
cut them on the bias aud fit them with
some sort Of blouse front, pieated chem
isette, velvet plastron, or embroidered
vest, which as q general thing is framed
by revers of velvet in harmonious tint,
or by sort OF velvet bertha open in
front and at the back and made upon
stiff lining so as TO rise well above the
shoulders. 1 have already mentioned the
prevailing taste for the deep square velvet
yoke in children's garments, the mate
rial being mounted across the front and

Plain full bodices, simply gathered at
the neck and wrist, may be set of by
brass ornaments in black velvet, caught

Broad sashes In soft silk are much
affected, being extended across the figure
from the right shoulder to the left hip,

they are spread out 30 as to cover all the

POET ORLILLY,s OPINION.

The masses are poor. ignorant and dis
kind on the earth. aud never knowing that
the World belongs TO its living population,
because a small lass in every country has
taken possession of property and govern
ment, and makes laws for its own safety
and the security oil its plumber, educating
the masses, generation after generation, into
the belief that this condition is the natural
order and the law of God. BY long train
ing and submission the people everywhere
have come to regard the assumption Of
their rulers and owners as the law of right
and common sense, and their own blind
instincts, which tell them that all men
ought to have a p%lcnteOus living OF this
planet, as the promptings Of evil and dis
order.
The qualities We naturally dislike and
fear in a man are those which insure success
under our present social order, namely,
shrewdness, hardness. adroitness, selfish
ness, the mind 10 take advantage of neces-
sity, the sill to tramplc on the weak in the
canting name of progress" and ''ciyiliza-
ton" The qualities We love in a man send
him 20 the poorhousc-generosiiy, truth,
trustfulness, friendliness, unselfishness, the
desire to help, the heart to pity, the mind to
refuse profit from a neighhor'sloss or weak
ness, the defense of the weak.
Our PIE ant civil z i.ion is organ z d in
justice and intellectual .barbaiism. Onr
| progrt SIS is 4 march 10 a precipice.
The Sermon on the Mount and natural
| justice can rule the world, or they cannot.
If they can our p resent rnling is the inven-
| ton of tile devil; If they canno the devil
has a right to rule-if the people let him
but he ought not to call his rule Christian
