yelled with lace, falling below the
wrists. 1t will be noted that the fair
woman who wears this extremely artistic
and refined creation of the dressmaker's
art carried ont the idea that such cos
tune calls for an easy grace, q certain
abandon, for her hair is permitted to
droop in a studied negligence upon her
shoulders. Such robe calls for q GER
tain coquetry in the matter of slippers,
which, of course, should harmonize in
color with the prevailing tone of the
robe. The owner of an extremely SYM
metrical foot might make choice of mules
or Japanese or Turkish slippers with
pointed and curled toes; but, as the
floors of American houses are very
apt to be foot cold in winter,
it often becomes necessary to wear
artistic shoes in some fancy leather, with
or without antique silver buckles. But
the particular charm of the chamber
robe lies therein that the richly trimmed
edges of underskirts may with propriety
display their garniture of lace and en-
broidery, or the more plebeian finish of
frills, hemstitch, guipure or torchon.
But even these costly garnitures of lace
have, to a certain extent, lost their in
detlnable charm, now that cunningly
devised machines can weave webs of al
most equal tineness to the real point or
bobbn.
The afternoon tea promises to be a
very fiourishing institution this season,
and m glad to note that the charming
fashion OF having a number of rosebuds
present, to act as tutelary saints of the
samovars, Is TO be continued. II a
young man has anything to say, q cup
of fragrant tea will unloose his tongue,
especially when 1t is presented to him by
enc of these latter day Hebes, arrayed in
garments of soft, clinging materials,
made up in such quaint and original
manner that it's utterly impossible to
tell exactly what epoch they belong to.
But of one thing be assured; when you
come TO converse with one OF these rose
bud assistants, no matter how old-fash-s
Toned may be the cut of her robe, you'll
find her intensely modern-tbe alert and
impressionabie child of to-day.
The third illustration sets forth the
strong points of one of these charming
gowns worn by a dainty miss who re-
ceived with prominent society lady last
week. There were half dozen in alLssSa
maids in waiting, whose business It
seemed to be to keep the young men from
being bored. And they made a brilliant
success of 1t. This particular toilet was
a pale blue satin morveilleux. The
Pierrot fichu was in blue gauze trimmed
with white lace, and the sleeves of blue
gauze transparent over the arm and ter
minated at the wrist with five rows of
blue ribbon. There Is something delici-
ously quaint about this simple costume.
At any rate, 1t fitted the rosebud who
wore it., physically and spiritually, if l.
may be allowed the expression, for it,
seems to me that women are too often
apt to content themselves with the phys
ical fit only.

am aware that it is moot question
whether lady simply receiving her
friends informally-the female portion,
of course, keeping their bonnets on
should dress elegantly or merely appear
in plain silk or wooden gown. But I,
for one, incline to the opinion that q
hostess, by her rich and elegant ap-
parel, pays delicate compliment to her
guests. However, the question, like all
others, has two sides.
The last illustration pictures a suitable
costume for such an evening at home;
the skirts and waist being Of black lace
and jet embroideries and q border of
Parmavelvet below. The open jacket
it was which lent an especial charm to
this interior toilet, for it was of Parma
velvet, garnitured with applique and
embroideriss of black velvet and jet, as
shown in the illustration. and shoul.

IN THE SOUTH.
BY A MISSISSIPPI GIRL.

BY MISSISSIPPI GIRL.
Ny love has gone up from the sun-circled South nth
And the teeth of the winter bite sharp in the
My love with the pomgrsnate red on her mouth
And the gold and the bronze Of the South in her
hair.
v ith the flush in her cheeks like crushed
poppy's stains
And the warmth of the South like wine in her
veins.
Ny love has gone out and the South has grown
cold,
The gray MOSES swing DER her de1crate seat
And the wet leaves swirled in hurrying
fold
To lie in the spot she but touched with her feet.
And the last sheltered jasmine she bore in her
hand
When she and the summer went out OF the land.
Ny love has gone up to the stretches of snow,
Where the rivers are harder and smoother than
And the North winds are bitter and keen as they
blow,
And they bite at the pulse and heart as they
And the skies are as dead skies-gray, pallid
aud old
And they seem but the ghosts of the skies that
were gold.
My love. she is coming aback to the South,
For the palms OF the summer are warm IN the
air,
And the pomgranate blooms are as red as her
mouth,
And the wild yellow jasmns are gold as her
hair:
And to-day magnolia bloom, first on her tree,
From its great waXen chalice flung incense
DER me.
They have brought back my love to her home III
the South:
OH pitiless wind of the Northl cruel seet!
And how could we bite at her pomgranate
mouth,
And how on her flower like heart could We beat?
The gray MOSES lie on her slab like a mist,
And her grave by the rain of the jasmins is
kissed,
And the moon never wearies of pouring its
light,
And q mocking bird mourns there the whole of
the night. ELLA RAGsDALE.

almost Greek simplicity and classic grace
fulness. The cut and makeup of the
costume will be eminently qualified to
display her fine figure, while the soft,
dull tones will set off her beautiful COM
plexion most admirably. Should
the gong sound, and the servant
announce the arrival of some gen
tleman before whom she desires to
pose as a handsome woman, she will
proceed to make a, hasty but elaborate
toilet and present herself in fashion,
able attire, and thus unoonsciously de-
feat the very end she has in view. Pos
sibly there may be cases in which it
might be improper for q lady to receive
a male visitor in her morning wrapper,
but it would depend largely on the ma
ture of the gentleman errand. In q

How Daughters should be Educated.


To inaugurate an economical fashion is
well; only let it be one of prevention,
not of cure, says Mrs. Mary A. Liver
more in the North American Review.
To rear girl in absolute dependence,
rood for nothing, selfish in her aims and
eAacting in her demands, is a SID against
the daughter, and against society. To
begin at her birth to economic and re-
trench in every department for the ac-
emulation Of money, that this mon
strous perversion of her life may be ac-
complished and maintained, is grotesqus
and heathenish. Girls thus trained will
fail of attaining high order of woman
hood. Their aims will be petty, their
ideals low, and nothing very excellent
can be expected of them in wifehood or
motherhood.
Let the reform inaugurated be made
fashionable and be carried on. Let us
begin q system of economy that will pre-
vent the evil which our author only pro-
poses to cure, and by an utter made
quate remedy. While we carefully
guard whatever is womanlv in our
daughters, let them be trained to more
of fiber and firmness. Educate them to
self-denial, if pecuniary circumstances
demand it, and not to self-indulgence.
ACQUISITION them to be of service in the
household, to regard economy as praise
worthy and even heroic, and to add to
their other accomplishments a practical
knowledge of work and the possession of
some lucrative vocation or industry by
which they can support themselves.
Such girls, when portionless, will carry
to their husbands dowries in themselves.

Eire-Escapes.

We hear that the law is not enforced
with regard to fre-escapes in factories,
hotels, and other tall buildings. where
large numbers Of people lodge or are en-
ployed.
This ia to DO regretted. Our authori-
ties ought not to wait until some great
calamity compels them to act.
II is bad enough for such buildings as
we have mentioned to be without fire.
escapes, but to be without night-watch-
men also is positive crime.
Lodgers ought to interest themselves
in this matter. II they do not care to
bother themselves TO 60 to court, they
can complain to the proprietors, and II
this does not avail then they should
withdraw to other houses where the
safety OF the guests is matter OF more
consideration. At the burning OF the
Leland House at Syracuse recently the
fire-escapes wero the means OF saving
many lives. Indeed, no person would
have boen lost had the guests been able
to keep their wits about them and
promptly used the escapes which were
provided in each room.

Curtis on Cleveland.

Harper's Weekly of last week says in
so many words that "the snare of the
senatorship is vainly spread in Governor
Hills sight" To this unqualifedstate
ment coming from such man as Mr..
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS more impor-
lance will be attached than if it had APP
peared elsewhere than in Harper's
Weekly. At present Mr.. CLEVELAND
leads all the other aspirants to the presi-
dency. He is the popular or Democratic
idol. But Governor HILL, who is one OF
the shrewdest politicians in the land,
seems ready to enter the nominating
lists against Mr.. CLEVELAND.
We ought to add that the Weekly says
sit is pretty plain that in the National
Democratic Convention Of 1892 Mr..
CLEVELAND will not have a united dele
cation from his State" No more did
Mr.. TlLDEy have q united New York
delegation in the st. Louis Convention
Of 1876, yet he was nominated and elect
ed.
We note these outgivings of Mr., Cur
IT'S, king of Mugwumps, as among the
signs of the times.

nisfpurement of Buildings.

The police will have to bring to
punishment the boys who are going
about chalking walls. Some beautiful
buildings, but recently erected, bear
these disgracefully disfguring marks.
To prevent disturbance of neighborly
feeling, many persons who have had their
property thus defaced by wanton youths
have foreborne to call in the Of
ficers of the law, but for the communi-
tvs sake, we hope the police will call
themselves in hereafter. Boys have been
given too much license in this respect.
The way to stopi is to enforce the Law
take the offenders before the Police JUS
tice and let him fine them. After few
examples are made it will be possible for
q citizen of Richmond to build O house
on corner-lot and not have his
walls covered with chalk-marks.
We appeal to the Chief of Police to
issue orders that will put a stop for
ever to this practice, which is permitted
in 10 large city, and can be easily stamped
out here if the law is vigorously enforced.

The Prison Association School.


The Industrial School, established by
the Prison Association of Virginia, is

are under sentence for crime. They will
also take charge OF boys whose parents
are not able to control them. For the
latter there will be O charge of 50 per

1t is the object of tho association to
give these boys a good business educa-
ton, and by moral training and kind
treatment to turn them from life of
vice and make them good and useful
citizens. Four hours a day are given
to school work, four hours to industrial
work, six hours TO movements, meals,
recreation, study, and other exercises,
leaving nine to ten hours for sleep.

The Rules Of tho House,

We are glad to see that the Petersburg
fnder-Appcd does not consider that it
would be good policy on the part of the
Democrats of tho next House OF Repre-
sentatives to bite off their noses in order
10 spite their faces That journal quotes
our remark that if REED has the right
under the rules OF the House TO count az
present Democrats who have declined to
vote, and those rules are constitutional,
then the Speaker of the next Democratic
House will have the same right, and also
our remark that sit is not'simply ques-
ton of consistency but on the contrary
Gan important question of practical poll
tics," and comments as follows;
1T is question Of consistency, indis-
putably. But ought the Democrats con-
tinue to do wrong merely because it
vould be inconsistent to do right?
Speaker REED was right when he ruled
that member OF Congress could not de-
feat the object for which he was elected
by clothing himself with technical in
visibility and absence when in person
and substance he was visible and present,
andshis Democratic successor will err
against the Constitution and common
sense il he does rule likewise. Revolu-
lions do not 60 backwards ordinarily.
and we feel quite sure that tho revolu-
ton which emancipated the majority
from the rule Of the minority will be no
exception. The Democratic majority in
the Fifty second Congress. however,
will be so great that the party can be
consistent and wrong without any imme-
diate danger 10 its control OF legisla-
ton"
What we said was that ii was "not
simply question OF consistency.
However, that is not important
The Senate OF Virginia has for many
years. as We stated at least once in COM
menting upon Mr. REEp's rulings, had a
rule which provides that every senator

voting upon one side or the other. But
We at the same time. made the point
against Speaker RRED that he had
"counted a non-consenting quorum as

present and not voting when such an
entry is authorized by the rules of the
