1t is quite the thing to
have short fringe of friz-
zled hair following the pointed out
line of the bonnet from the top to the
ears. II 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, a stiff derby,
etc.. for horseback riding purposes, a
habit hat, she braids the hair in two
strands and pins it 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 TO 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 tina: the frizzing irons
and curling tongs have taken their place.
Ladies who do not care TO spend so much
time in the arrangement of their hair
keep on sand many styles of false bangs,
curls and hair pieces, which are used as
the occasion demands.

Literary Wives.
London Spectator.

Generalization upon the domestic fe-
lioity or inteliclty of literary women are
utterly worthless. People in married
life are not happy according as they use
or do not use a pen, but according as
they show themselves capable of prac-
ticing the lesser charities of life. If q
woman suddenly takes to literature with
out any real bent in that direction, her
husband is likely to show himself as
anxious as a wife who finds that her
husband, who has been a soldier all his
life is determined to become a stock
broker. In cases, however, where
woman makes literature successful vo-
cation, and at the same time does not
neglect the work she tacitly undertook TO
perform when she married, the notion
that she risks her happiness thereby is
absurd. Provided that she does not
overwork herself, the writing OF books
will. in itself, no more bring unhsppl-
ness than it will felicity.

A Gnnk Rnnk Frae
Monument to Al Hayne.

For the Gazette.
Let the whole-souled magnsnimity that
has ever characterized the generous citi-
zens of Fort Worth be exemplified in a
grand monument to the memory of our
noble hero, AL Hayne. In thus COM
memorating him we also perpetuate the
the name of the fairy-like structure in
which he so touchingiy lost his life,
Though nothing but ashes remains of our
beautiful Spring Palace, 1t will long re-
tain vivid place IN the memory of young
and old. What delightful recollections
cluster around the name. 1t brings
glow of joy to the brow of the old man,
whose Imagination pictured before him
its many dazzling beauties. The old
woman listens again to the rapturous
strains of thrilling music. The young
lady's cheek has a brighter hue as she
hears in fancy the tender tones of an
ardent lover, and the young man gazes
again into the bewitching eyes of some
fascinating sorceress. Each one of us
will ever associate with its name some of
the greatest pleasures of our Iifs and will
cherish tender recollectiops of 1t. What
could be more appropriate than q
splendid towering monument erected to
the memory of one whose world-re-
nowned heroism has forever embalm ed
him in our affections aud so closely
allied him to our enchanting and sadly
lamented Spring Palace.

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-eeter. One is coquetishly tied
under the chin, and two have fiaring
brims. Children g hats should never be
overloaded with trimming. Don It
smother q rosebud under a 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 off
Tam O'Shanter, Scotch cap or Tyrol1an
felt.
In some of the modish cloth costumes
for children the cape is made of the same
material, ACCORDION pleated and set on a
square velvet yoke, back and front.
The dress itself Is close fitting and worn
with velvet waist belt, and the back Of
the skirt is double-box pleated. A very
pretty effect is attained by making use of
nutmeg brown cloth with chocolate
brown velvet. The skirt and cuffs have
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, a tocue-
shaped hat of the Tam O'Shanrer 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 pleated cape should be
pretty full and reach to the elbow.

suitable buildings will be erected.

lowing: As little girls grow up their
taste for dress and love of fnery in
creases in the ratio of the squares of
their age. For instance, at six 1t is only
thirty-six, but at ten It is hundred
and at sixteen its 256.

October days call for warm clothing,
even if the sun IS rays seem hot at times,
and the cotton and zephyr fabrics must
give way for light woolens. Plain
wOolens call for a little silk embroidery
in light running pattern, which may be
either worked in the same or contrast
ing tint; or plain wooden frock may be
set of, as in the second illustration,
by cuffs, collar and belt in some

From a Japanese Loom.

Advices from Toxic say that an extra
ordinary piece of Japan weaving, which
is now in the international exhibition at
Toxic, will shortly find its way to New
York, having been purchased for Sl2, 900
by broker on behalf of a rich Ameri-
can, whose name is not given. 1t is of
the design known as tsuzure-ori, or
pierced weaving. It is of great size.
the design being equestrian archery, an
old world employment in Japan, and one
which has often been used for purposes
of illustration and design by Japanese
artists. The distinctive feature of this
kind of weaving is that the whole mar
gin of the design is perforated like the
Joining of postage stamps, so that when
the whole piece is held up to the light
the design of the artist seems to be sus-
pend in the body of the fabric
L Japan this kind of weaving has
bf regarded as a tour de force of the
artist, and this particular piece of tap
estry is the largest ana finest and has
commanded the highest price of any
thing of the kind yet produced.

striped material. School dresses like
this one should be conspicuously plain &.
The skirt may be pleated in some neat
manner all around or else double box
pleated at the back only. Such q 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 IS dresses call for no
particular thought. The truth is, it is
More difficult to dress a child becomingly
than grown person, for the reason that
the picture is so delicate that without
great care you'll destroy its beauty in
framing it.
If the tiny maid in, the second illustra-
ton could face about we should discover
how charmingly becoming student 8
cap is at times to little heads wreathed
Ginning with the gold OF autumn leaves
or black as the velvet pansies of early
spring.
Pleated skirts, capes. bodices, chemi-
settles, ETC.. are ali extremely becoming
to children, more especially for those
sprite-like figures which fit about us
with such graceful velocity that we in
voluntarily glance at their shoulders in
search of wings.
Cant you sit still for a single mo-
ment, Flossie darling?''
81 can, but don t want to, " was the
quick answer.
In the picturesque representation of this

set forth in the third illustration,

gathers at the waist. The bodice was
formed by crossing the material over d
gray velvet plastron. The collar and
deep cuffs were also of the velvet
There were also three rosette bows
| of gray faIlle ribbon, one at the waist
and two lower down, all three in q line
with each other.
Plaids of all kinds, in wool, silk, and
silk and wool mixtures will also be favor
lite materials for ohildren's dresses this
fall and winter. The plan is usually to
cut them on the bias and fit them with
some sort of blouse front, pleated chem
isette, velvet plastron, or embroidered
vest, which as a general thing is framed
by revers of velvet in harmonious tint,
or by a sort of velvet bertha open in
front and at the back, and made'upou q
stiff lining so as TO rise well above the
shoulders. l 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
back of tho yoke in fiuted gathers.
Plain full bodices, simply gathered at
the neck and wrist, may be set of by
brass ornaments in black velvet, caught
together on the shoulders under q bow
and ending on each side of the waist I'M
der similar bows. In some cases the
dress waists are entirely of velvet on one
side, the material being made to cross
the figure in diagonal folds on the other.
Broad sashes in soft silk are much
affected, being extended across the figure
from the right shoulder to the left hip,
the ends which are usually fringed fall
ing to the edge of the dress. These
sashes are either drawn up closely under
a bow or buckle on the shoulder, or else
they are spread out SO as to cover ell the
lower part OF the waist. AS it is now
quite the correct thing TO have little
children act as bridesmaids at fashion,
able weddings, always of course with the
single exception of the chief bridesmaid,
1t may not be embarrassing to hear how
these little people were dressed at re-
cent swell wedding. Their costumes
consisted of cream satin meryeilleux
"smocks, with Jokes and sleeves OF
cream lace. They wore cream lace hats
with white ostrich tips, and carried
posies of yellow and white marguerite
daisies with yellow and white streamers.
