of many others. are sufficient to estab-
lsh that women of genius are tall and
strong enough to stand beside men of
genius now and forever. But genius
so called-iS to me a very unknown
quantity. l deny that it has any privi-
leges whatever, or that it can make any
laws for itself outside the laws of love
and sympathy by which the highest and
lowest live.
So far as this very question of mar
rage is concerned, our men and women
of genius have often got into serious
trouble-not, think, because they have
erred i'll their Interpretation of its sane
lions, but because they have generally,
in the face of public opinion, over
looked the contract and searched every
where for the sacrament. Nothing
proves SO completely the necessity OF
science OF human sentiment, as opposed
to the still lingering dogmas of nom
human spirituality, as the conduct of
men like Shelley and women like
Georges Sand. Twentyfold intellectual
power would not save them FROM con-
dempation, Unless Genius is a syno-
nym for Goodness it is sham and a
phantom: and Goodness, the soul of
human sentiment, believes that no in
tellectual power whatever eau justify
the shameless proclamation of any one
human function, the cruel rending
aSunder OF any one human tie.

some large plaids in fancy colors COM
bining mauve dahlia and the new au-
bergIne, or eggplant, shades in their
makeup,
AS rule all suitings are made up In
solid material, without combinations,
though it is considered elegant to COM
bine fine pinhead check with a plaid
having checked ground. The large
plaid in such case is used for the
front or for the underskirt, and the fine
check for the remainder of the costume.
Shepherds checks, in black and
white. are freely imported. and some of
the prettiest of sheer fine woolens,
warm enough for early spring. are
shown with six or seven haIf-inch
stripes of raised white wool as a bor-,
der. 1t is as soft and mate in weave as
white velvet, which it closely Stimulates,
though woven in plain surface with
out pile.
A fringe formed of the material raw
eled out and knotted finishes some
plaid suitings, though it is too early in
the season to safely predict that these
indicate a general return of fringe
rather than feature of dress worn by
a few.

small patters of fieur de lis, tiny crosses
and other designs. The wide open
work patterns which border such cot
tons above the hem are worked in q
variety of square ladder and large lattice
patterns, showing very little heavy
work; they vary in width from twelve
to thirty-siX inches.
The ribbOn-run embroideries of last
season are again shown. These en-
broidered widths are used for the en-
tire skirt; or for the front and sides
alone in skirts with plain, straight. full
back breadths. AlI-white muslins,
which serve usually for graduation
dresses for school girls and for ladies'
simple morning dresses, are made this
season with severely plain, full cor
sages, on which no embroidery is used,
except at tue Hat collar and the cuffs to
the, full bouffant sleeves. Ribbon
sashes, varying from wide sash ribbon
to narrower width, in delicate color or
tartan piaids. will encircle the waist of
young ladies' house gowns.
COrab silks, the old-faShioned BAN
dana. or handkerchief, silks, came to
this country imported from India and
stamped in a variety of Damascus and
French patterns in London. These are
the strongest India silks made, out
wearing handmade foulard of ordi-
nary quality. They are thirty-six
inches wide and come only i'm seven
yard pieces, which are from Sc to $14
apiece.

no lonesomeness more absolute than
the loneliness of stranger in crowd.
Salaries are not large enough to permit
of much relaxation in the way OF enter
tainnents, and after the days work is
over, one is too tired to go In search Of
entertainment.
In the country home, in these days,
he daily paper and the magazine com es,
SO that one may keep in touch with the
world, even if she be at one side of the
hustle and confusion of city life. The
fashion article tells her how to dress
her hair and make her gown. and gives
her the latest notions in small toilet de-
tails. No town is so small that it has
not its public library, where all the
new books come; and the lecture and
concert are not infrequent in visits.
Railways and telegraphs have brought
the corners of the earth together, so
that one is never far away from the
center of things. There az occu pations,
too, for the girls who stay at home, and

in search of employment, for you will
be doomed to disappointment.

shown in medley of tones of gray, tan,

winter, and they keep the boots clean
and the stockings free from contact
with damp or muddy skirts They are
even more necessary tn girls with short
petticoats. and cannot imagine why
mothers do not adopt them for
their daughters. Charlie was recently
travelling, on very cold morning, ON
suburban line of Railway, and IN the
carriage with him were lady ANA her
three daughters, their ages being ap-
parentiy from thirteen to fifteen. One
of these girls said to her mother,
Mamma, my legs and feet are so cold"
aud the two others Immediately cllimed
in with similar complaint. Charlie
says that they were wearing black
stockings, by no means thick, and low
0xf0rii shoes. Why not thu useful and
protective high boots, which look so
nice and keep at least the ankles warm?
In Maddox street the other day saw
little child most deliberately dressed
in velvet and furS. walking with her
mother. Beneath the costly little coat
appeared two thin, bare legs. with only
white cotton socks and pair of low
shoes with straps as a protection against
the terrible east wind which was ram

upthose poor little legs, especially when

tiny face, that knew meant suffering

to see if dared suggest better way
of guarding the little one against the
cold, but her countenance was one Of

would be useless to speak to her. and
also highly disagreeable.
1t is sad that all who have care OF
children should not be endued with
common sense. 1t comes so very hard
upon the children.

wear with absolutely good effect is black
velvet.
Black cashmere is the material of all
others that will add to or take from the
figure as the wisdom of the artist di-
reefs; made with perfect simplicity, it
will bring out every curve of the per-
feet figure; deliberately draped, it
will conceal every angle of the
bad one. Black satin makes
stout body look as If she could easily
gain good income by posing as the fat
woman in museum: but black velvet,
perfectly fitted and slightly draped, is
softening in its effect; and, while it
gives rather majestic appearance, does
not increase the size.
The old idea used to be that blonde
should always wear blue. and never yell
low. In reality, unless it be a dark
blue, blonde should never choose it,
while the wonderful pale blues,
dedicated to heaven and the
babies, should be given over to
the brunettes, whose warmth of color
ing permit comparison with the CHI lily
blue. What woman looks best under
the sunshine? A blonde. Therefore
the very color of the sun itself. yellow,
should be chosen by her for evening
wear, while the warm browns that glow
as if they had golden hearts, and the
greens that permit fur trimmings,
should be selected for street wear.

FRINGEs OF FASHION.

Hussar blue will be the leading shade
for cloth walking suits.
At home natural flowers are worn ON
the toes of dark slippers.
Eggplant purple is shade that
ladies of serious taste incline to.
The latest fad is finger ring of black
ened steel, with a small brilliant stone
buried i'm it.
Silver beads ale popular for house
dresses when collar would seem stiff
and fresh ruehe something OF an ex-

The old style of dressing table has
been revived. and old silk and muslin
dresses and petticoats cut up for mirror
