THE BRIDES APPAREL
White and Orange Blossoms Only
for the Maiden-The We'd
ding Veil.

EkAAA 49,
gown has been white; and if one could
only have a simple muslin frock IL seems
as II it ought to be of that pure tone, be-
| cause her own heart is thought to be as
clean aud white as is her gown. The
white gown and the orange blossoms are
the privilege of the bride, aud even If she
has to economic and give up another
gown | can quite appreciate the feelings
Of the girl VINO insists on the white satl u,
the blossoms aud the tulle veil. She eau
never wear this costume but once IN her
life, for after she had become a wife, roses
must tak the place OF the orange bios
SONS and the tuiie veil is never again as
sumed. Heavy white-corded silk, white
velvet, white brocade, white mousseline
de sole are all SHOWN for the brides gown,
but the real Wedding material Is white
satin. True, it grows yellow with age, as
does ivory. out IL o Is young IN the
heart there will be the same delight in
looking at the folds in the w~edding-gown
tn Il there is in recalling the weduing-day.
A widow VINO is being married Tor the
| second time, ina wear any color she
wishes, if she is in travelling costumes; but
in full dress she must nave either pale
gray or mauve; or. il she prefers, some
other becoming color. but never white;
nor should she wear orange blossoms
Roses. daisies. or Whatever flower is
suited to tine shade OF her frocK. are
proper; but the white, sweet smelling
blossom belongs entirely 10 the young
girl.
Somebody asks how to arrange a veil
and how far IL should extend. You eau
not buy u veil by the yard; that Is to say,
yeu cannot tell now much you need. the
proper way is TO have the storekeepsr
send a piece of tulle and then drape IL ON
the brides head. IL should fall well over
- - alrrwI .tef haUnnA II and
should reach the edge OF the skirt Ia
front. The orange blossoms are put on
SO that they are only visible after the veil
is thrown back, which ceremony should
b. performed by two OF the bridesmaids
when the newly made husband leans
forward TO kiss the bride.
In all large cities there are nair-dressers
who make u business Of arranging brides
wells, but in smaller ones these helpful
people are u o always to be- found; 50 just
remember in putting il on that while IL Is
light as air it still must be nrmly pinned
in position, and the orange blossoms well
in place, SO that when the front part is
thrown back they will present a perfectly
well arranged appearances.
Ii one wishes, tulle could be substi-
tuted for the pearl decoration on the cos
tune pictured; II 1t would. OF course,
make it much less ex Densive. By-the-bye,
it should always be remembered that no

of a bride are, she is SHINING against good
form who does not have a hign-neck and
lonx-sleeved bodice, for 1t must be re-
menlbered that she is not going 10 a
dance or a reception, out 10 a g
ceremony that means the joy or misery of
her future life, and, While everything
may be as merry as a marriage bell. IN
the brides frock there should De an ex-
preston of her knowledge OF that which
she is undertaking.-MfS Mdtt0H, IN

Women As Conductors of Horse Cars.
When you nave seen two or streets in
Santiago, together with the plaza, the
alameda aud the Mill of Santa Lucia, you
nave seen the whole city. The rest is ali
sameness and repetition spread over an
expanse of many square miles. for Santi-
ago occupies a super1cies out OF reason
able proportion with It's loy,UVO lnnaDl-
tauts, VINO require to be conveyed from
point to point by a railway and an i'm
portant network Of tramways. Since the
war against Peru. 1t appears, women have
been employed as conductors or the horse
cars, and at one time an attempt was
made to employ women as drivers, too,
but it failed. Cnilian beasts of draught
are Obstinate, and require q stronger nand
thar d wuinan's to manage them. As II is,
all over Chill in the large towns as we'll as
the small ones. the Lramway
are girls, whose uniform consists simply
of a mau's straw hat, a money-bag, and
a white apron, the rest of their costume
being left to individual taste. These
girls have a seat at the back of the car,
and seem 10 perform their duties
mOdestly, and 10 the general satisfaction.
The pretty cues, or rather the least bad
looking-for the CHILEAN women of the
lower classes are not blessed with much

the service; they soon hnd husbands. or
get otherwise provided for. The horse
car girl is one OF the peculiarities of
Cnilian street life. As far rs l know. it
is the only couatry ia the world where
women are engaged in such work.

so-Cailed Modern Ideas of Education.
The opinion held by many people who
have never had their attention especially
turned to the work of Jean Jacques
Rousseau is not that he was a benefactor
of his kind, but in reality he was one of
the first apostles of the modern methods
of education, and it is only after all this
lapse of years that his ideas have come to
be widely adopted. II is he who once
said that we came into the world igno-
rant, but with capacity; that education
beginS at birth, that we learn incredibly
in the first years; and that as impressions
supply our first knowledge, those i'm
pressions should be of the best, and
should be presented in the right order;
that the first cry of a child is a request.
the second a demand; that destructive
ness in a child is not cruelty. but activity;
that the sin OF children is their weak
ness, that strength brings about virtue,
and he who can do all Things will never
do wrong things. This we see TO be un-
