Hsw Parissan womsn Dress,

An English writer has discovered that
the reason Partisan women always seem Ia
be better dressed than their sisters across
the water is because they consider them
selves first aud their costumes aiterward.
They subordinate their toilet 10 the pecu.
liarities OF their own personalities. as IL
we're, while the English and American
woman blindly follows the style without
regard to its effects upon her character
istics.
A French woman makes careful study
Of her good poiats, and so accentustes
them that they sre impressed upon ones
memory to the exclusion Of her impsrfec
tions. In color combinations she has the
instinct Of an artist. In designing her toi
let, her first consideration 10 ito effect up
on her eyes-not upon the complexion. ~
many would suppose.
She knows that touch OF red lends
dusky shadows and wonderful lights TO
dark CRIBS, and that soitest shades OF gray
and blue deepen blue eyes to violet She
determines just what color in the prism
best supplements her beauty, and with
rare faithfulness, never bestowed upon
lovers or husbandp. she clings to 1t until
she dies bringing out happy changes 10
its various shsdinss and making it her
life long servitor and vassal. There is no
monotony in it, either, but certain dis
tinction and individual charm 10 the effect
never TO be gained by running the whols
gamut Of color. as the average woman
does, regardless Of its effects upon her ar
pesrauce.

authors of Physics and Metaphysics,
Hermetic Teachings, ETC., published
by the Hermetic Publishing Co., CHI
cago, 1889, Price, slips.
The thread of this allegorical mar
rative is interesting in the extreme.
1t deals with the highest, most en-
nobling principles of life, and is an
earnest appeal to man to know his
own power and attain to that which
is within his reach, only to be pos
sessed through dominance of the good.
Like all works dealing with. the occult
science, it requires condensation of
thought in order to recognize the vol
umes written between the lines, but
the reader cannot fail to grasp the
lesson contained in this excellent little
book of the reward that comes from
the dominance of the spiritual over
the physical existence. The diction
also is poetical in marked degree
"Once more, clothed in clean,

words. from our Elder Brother, came

bring out its greatest beauties and
most valuable qualities. Polish comes
not to jewel nor man by lying en-
wrapped in soft textures, but by at

&iterary Dotes.
BY CECIL HAMpDEN QUITS HOWARD.
Robert Clarke & Co., of Cincinnati,

Robert Clarke & Co., of Cincinnati
o., have recently issued several valu-
able works. Among these we note,
"Ihe Jew in English Fiction" by
Rabbi David Philipson, D. D. It's
purpose is to show how far the Jew,
as portrayed, has been misunder-
stood. We have no doubt it will he
read with interest by large circle of
readers.
"The Life and Times of Ephraim
CUTTER" prepared from his journals
and correspondence by his daughter,
Julia T. Cutter, is announced by the
same firm. The work is of special
interest to those whoare reading upon
the early settlements of Ohio and
outlying States. 1t will be printed
in a limited edition at $3.50 per copy.
"The Scotch-Irish in America" is
the title of another of their new
works. 1t is the first beginning of
an effort to chronicle their achieve
ments in this country, and will be
hailed with pride and delight by all
of that nationality, as well as by all
historians.
"Fort Ancient" the great pre-his-
toric earth work of Warran county,
Ohio, is a volume advertised by
Clarke & Co., as one which will ap-
pear January 10. The fact that it
was written by Mr.. Warren X.
Moorehead, of the Smithsonian In
stitution in Washington, from per-
sonal observation and research, will
render it a most valuable work.
"The Life, Journals and Core
spondence of Rev. Manasseh Cutter,
LID, by his grandchildren, VIM.
P. and Julia P. Cutter, is fitting
companion volume to that which we
noted above, written upon his son.
That two such admirable and valuable
works should be given to the public,
proves that their value was recognized
by those who knew how to judge
of it.
