CORRECT FABRICS.
Really Valuable Suggestions Concernin
Woman's Dress.

Really Valuable Suggestions Concerning
WOman's Dress.
Mrs. Edmund Russell, the exponent
of the Delsarte system, in a lecture on
dress, gives some valuable hints in re-
gard to woman's costume:
"For woman of light physique, deli
cate coloring, vitality, energy and move
ment, any draping, clinging material
soft wool or lustrous silk-hasa peculiar
adaptation. Repose is an idea insep-
arabic from size, let the stout woman's
dress create that feeling-material that
will fall in the rich heavy folds, I'M
broken lines, deep, soft color-and she
is at her best. The tight fitting black
silk or satin, her usual grand costume,
is great mistake. The lights reflected
from brilliant surface reveal the form;
revealed form is vulgar, suggested form
is poetic.
"A tall, angular woman wants some
thing light and floating-a material that
will follow every movement, multiply
ing lines and obliterating angles. Proper
radiation of lines has every thing to do
with the grace and expression of gown.
The shoulders and hips are natural
points of support. Let the drapery fall
from these, and the result is series OF
long, curving radiations that give life
and beauty. With every change of po'
sition there is new series of lines, all
free to follow the swing and sway OF
movement. Little catches and fasten-
ings are stiff and meaningless; they breal;
the long sweep that alone gives ease and
| rrace -

CHlLDREN'S SHOES.
Don't Buy High-Heeled Foot Wear, No
Matter How Nice 1t Looks.

Matter How Nice 1t Looks.
1t is great mistake to buy cheap
shoes for children. Such shoes are
either made of inferior leather and by
worlmen who do not understand their
business, or they are heavy shoes, sewed
by machine. In one case they will not
wear one-third as long as good shoes
that cost twice as much; in the other
they will be so hard and unyielding to
the tender feet of the growing child that
they will certainly produce corns and
other Affections of the feet that it may
be impossible to cure. The shoes made
by the village cobbler may not be so
handsome as the stock shoes in the viii
lage store, but they are usually more
comfortable and more durable. No child
should wear a shoe with heels. The
springfield shoe gives all the elevation
necessary till the child is fully grown.
Many English women who are expert
pedestrians always wear springfield
shoe in long walks. The folly and
wrong of putting high-heeled, narrow
toed shoe on a schoolgirl need not be
commented upon. There are several
diseases of the spine which are traced
directly by physicians to sUch folly

An Evil Which Is as Bad In the United
States as 1t Is In England.
An auditor unused to stage language
and ways, and coming to the theater
straight from the street, the exchange,
the county, the mess or the drawing
room, wherever, in short, men and wom-
EN- congregate, could hardly fail to be
struck by certain falseness, a certain
overemphasis, and especially a certain
long-drawn exaggeration of the pathetic
tones. He would think it grotesque,
and he would probably think it unpleas.

1t is a note not to be heard in daily
life, for we are an undemonstrative peo-
pie by nature, and pride ourselves on
getting through the crisis Of our lives
in dumb show, with no more than a
word or two. This impassive attitude,
some think, is one OF the best things
about us. l am myself inclined to be-
lieve, after certain recent personal ex-
periences of more vociferous methods,
that the very demonstrative nations
spend more energy than we do in prom
Use, and perhaps retain less of perform.
ance.
On the stage, however, and chiefly on
the melodramatic stage, we have
changed all this. Our men weep, our
women whine; it may be sentimental,
which is quite another thing from pa
thetic, but it is singularly long way
removed from our English way Of taking
the facts of existence.
In the course of the past summer the
present writer was listening to one of
the most popular plays of the
season. Two young ladies Of pleas
ing exterior, very competent players,
had taken the stage. One was recount
ing her misfortunes to the other. Now"
thought, was ever any thing more I'M
like to the behavior Of any sane English
women than that of these young
actresses-the fearful faces, the spas
modic gestures, the long-drawn, woful
utterance and the various traditional
stage tricks of speech and manners?"
And reflected that the young ladies
themselves were not responsible for
their departure from nature, but the
fashion of the times, which calls for
such divagations At this moment a
stranger, sitting at my side could bear
it no longer; he moved impatiently in
his seat and expressed his indignation
in whispered comment in my ear: 81
beg your pardon, sir, but what two con-
founded idiots" 1 imagine this gentle
man, whose speech was educated and his
face intelligent, may have lived long
enough awayfrom London melodrama
land to have forgotten that tits a region
where dialect of its own prevails, &C
companied by contortions of the face
and body, rollings of the eyes, emotional
gurglings, Kisses and huskiness, which
never accompany the speech of the
English men and women in the world
we live in.-Fortnightly Review.

Cold Waves

Are predicted with reliable accuracy,
and people liable to the pains and
aches Of rheumatism dread every
change to damp or stormy weather.
Although Hoods Sarsaparilla is not
claimed to be a positive specific for
rheumatism, the remarkable cures it
has effected show that it may be taken
for this complaint with reasonable
certainty of benefit. Its action in
neutralizing the acidity of the blood,
which is the cause of rheumatism,
constitutes the success of Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Ifyou suffer from rheuma-
tism, give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair
trial; it will do you good.

Good Results of the Farmers ALI
ance.

W. GLADDEN. in the Forum.
How long the farmers will hold to.
gether in their alliances is difficult to
predict. 1t may be that the discuss
sions in which they must take part
will show them that some of the
measures of direct relief on which
they are chiefly depending are im-
practicable; and it is conceivable
that this discovery will tend to de-
moralize them. That they can be-
come permanent political force is
not likely, for parties which represent
only classes cannot live in republic.
But several results, by no means I'M
desirable, may be looked for as the
outcome of this farmers uprising.
1. They will secure thorough dis
cussion of some important economi-
cal questions. They will force the
people to consider carefully the pro-
blem Of the State ownership of the
great public highways. If the farm
ers can stick together, and stick to
their text long enough to get this
business thoroughly ventilated, they
will do good service.
2. They are loosening the bands of
partisanship, and opening the way
for a rational cooperation of citizens
for all desirable purposes. 1t is not
improbable that it will lead to a re-
construction of parties.
8. They are helping to make an
end OF the sectionalism, which has
been large part of the capital of a
certain class of politicians. "Scarce-
ly vestige," they say, "of the old
sectional prejudice of a few years ago
is now visible within their ranks"
The South and the West are coming
into fraternal relations. "The dema-
gogue politician who now attempts
to array sectional prejudice in order
that he may keep farmers equally
divided on important questions" is
admonished that he is about to con-
front "a superior intelligence that
will soon convince him that his occu-
patton is gone" The farmers move
ment is not, probably, the deluge,
but it will prove to be something of a
shower-in some quarters, cyclone
and it will clear the atmosphere.
