COULDN'T READ WOMEN.
Very Smart Men Who Could Size Up Their
Own SaV,
New York Commercial Advertiser.


New York Commercial Advertiser.
A writer in the London Spectator has
accumulated a mass of ill-sorted mar
rIages. Beginning with Justinian, it
is shown how one man after another who
was pre-eminent as a judge of men,
failed dismally in the selection of the one
woman who was to be his constant coun-
selor. The greatest failures seem to
have been made by the men who are
essentially diplomatists. Charles II,
whose judgments of men history has
never reversed, never secured even q
faithful mistress. Marlborough, per-
haps the greatest diplomatist, as well as
the greatest general of the suco eeding
age, was yoked to woman who's Q

as to need no comment. TaIlyrand

Mich, who managed three generations of
difficult characters, was twice mistaken
in the women he chose for wives. 1t
would certainly seem that if marriage is
entered upon as a piece of diplomacy.
the ablest men are sure TO be outwitted
by the women antagonists.
The writer IN the Spectator attempts
to pursue his generalization into the
field of men and letters. Here he fails
completely to make out his case. He
speaks as if the sensible marriages of
Browning, and Tennyson, and Matthew
Arnold, in our own generation, were
somehow matters of surprise. Yet when
we take the trouble TO complete the list of
their distinguished lite rary contempora-
rles he does not find single case in
which the man showed bad judgment.
John Stuart Mills always adored his
wife, and his idealization of her led to
his advanced views on woman 8 suffrage.
Henry Fawcett, his most famous associ-
ate in political economy married q
woman no less able or influential than
| himself. George Grote, the historian of
Greece, was not less fortunate. It is
true that his wife was very different
from himself, but they supplemented
one another very admirably. az always

The one unhappy marriage among the
| authors of our generation was that of
Carlyle, and here it was not the man
who made the mistake. Daudet, In his
Sc Artist Wives maintains that the
| marriages of artists are usually unhappy !,
but urges il chiefly from the standpoint
| of what the woman must undergo. fI
tell you" he says, ''that happy mar
rage can only be the exception with US.
For that nervous, exacting, impression
able creature called a man of genius a
special type of woman is wanted-a type
that is scarcely possible to be found, and
the safest plan is not to look for it. -
The example of Carlyle lends some sup
port to the propositions, but it lends
none to the assertion that men

the corsage back and front.

I've often tried to picture to myself
what thoughts must flash through the
mind of some great creator of modes
when some one of his ravIshIng toilets
has been built upon a remarkably fine
figure, and he sits silently contemplating
his completed work. Possibly he may

Here is an Easter dialogue: ''Come,
come, my dear! We shall be late to
church. -
How unreasonable you are, mamma.
Here you We been saving money all win

my bonnet properly. ia rather miss the
entire first lesson than give those Tabb
girls chance to say, Lord, have mercy
upon that unbecoming bonnet of Miss
Lovebody's!''
The thickly embroidered oorsage and
sleeves, pictured in the engraving, give
good idea of the fine effect gained by
elaboration in this manner of trimming
dress. The cloth is q mouse gray. and
the embroidery in medieval style. The
fourTeau' is OF Parma velvet embroi-
dered with gold, silver and steel, and
the train of plain mouse gray cloth.
The shape of the sleeve is TO be noted
commencing high and full on the shout
der and fitting tight at the wrist. Black
net and lace are used a great deal this
season for bonnets and hats. When
sprlgged net is employed it is usually
pufed loosely over the shape and the
flowers are either inserted among the
puffs in front or somewhat to one side.
Black tulle must be gathered more
closely, and the trimming may then con-
slst OF a knot of pale blue, pink or
maize velvet balancing a bouquet of
flowers. The dictum has gone forth that

Greens, old rose, straw, maize and or

The third picture represents n very
pretty costume of sulphur-yellow creme
de chine embroidered with bronze beads.
The train is of brocaded crepe de chine
confined around the hips by an embroid-
cred band of velvet. 1t is suitable for a
church toilet, and the original will be
worn by the woman whose face is por-
frayed.
The Easter bonnets ought to be well
coined by the woman who is, alas! no
longer thirty. They are so delicate,

flied to take five years off the wearer's
age. A man is as old as he feels; a wo-
man as she looks. That most aston
lshing change may be wrought in q wo-
man s appearance by a becoming bonnet
has often been asserted, but never more
convinoinglY proved than at the hour
am writing. A gentlemen acquaintance
of mine, remarkable rather for his ad-
miratiOn of our sex than for the particu-
lar woman whom fate had decreed should
walk beside him through life, returned
home the other evening. Madam hap
pened to be trying on a new Easter bon
net, and as he passed the door he looked
in, halted, took another look and then
bounded up stairs. Pretty soon madam
made her appearance.

Now that touch on the intimacies Of
married life, let me tell you of a dainty
little novelty called the Recamier corset
cover. You take about three yards of
surah, with the selvage edge at the bot
tom; no seams except on the shoulders;
around the top and down the front an
insertion of valencienne, separated by
a strip of the surah embroidered with
English point. Fourreau skirts are to
be cut quite as cllnging to the figure,
with a little more fulness towards the
bottom and will be trimmed with frou-
frou of lace or small fiounces. Corsages
will open upon vests, beneath which q
white guipure chemisette will be visible.

the result is that the majority of women
are going about in q half-clothed and

many of them dare not wear anything

for fear of spelling them, whilst others
cannot bear to sacrifice a smart gown to

ALLIANCE RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted by the barber County AlIianc,


We, your committee beg leave to submit the
following report:
LIST. We demand the abolition of national
banks and the substitution of legal tender
treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes
issued in sufficient volume to do the business
of the country ON a cash system, regulating
the amount needed on a per oapita basis as
the business interests of the country expand
that all money issued by the government shall
be legal tender in payment of all bebts, both
public ana pfiyate.
End. We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Bird. We demand that congress shall pass
such laws as shall effectually prevent the deal
ing in futures in all agricultural and mechan.
zeal productions, preserving such a stringent
system of procedure in trials AZ shall SECURE
prompt convictions. and imposing such penal
ties as shall secure the most perfect compIi.
anee with the law.
4th. We demand the passage of laws pro-
hiblting alien ownership of land, and that con.
gress take early steps to devise some plan to
obtain all lands now owned by aliens and for
eign syndicates, aud tnat all lands now held by
| railroads and other corporations in excess OF
such as are actually used and needed by them
be reclaimed by the government and hold for
actual settlers only.
9Th. Believing in the doctrine of Equal
rights to all ana special privileges to none "
| we demand that taxation, national or state
shall not be used to build up one interest OF
class at the expense of another. We believe
that the money of the country should be kept
as much as possible in the hands of the people
and hence we demand that all revenues, ma
tional state or county, shall be limited to the
! necessary expenses Of the government, eco
nonically and honestly administered.
9th. Wedemand that the means of commun
ication and transportation shall be owned by
and operated in the interest of the people, AZ
is the United States postal system.
9Th. We believe that resubmission, prohibi
| ton and women suffrage and all other side is
sues are calculated to divert the attention OF
our people. and therefore suggest they be laid
aside for the pFeseHt.
