CLOTHES FOR CHILDREN.
The Plain English styles are Preferred t.
Elaborate French Patterns.

There are few changes in the fashions
mothers have very conservative taste in
this regard, and generally prefer plain
English styles to the elaborate French
ones
The popular plads seem specially
adapted for little girls froclts, and are
fashionable in all materials which are
appropriate for them; they are usually
made to be worn over guimpe or plaid
material.
All skirts are made plain and full, or
there may be a border, if the goods are
plain, of fcather-stitching hem-stitch-
ing or herringboning; a narrow, woven
border, or rows of narrow velvet ribbon
above the four-inch hem. The length
of the skirt is more a matter Of taste
than of fashion, and depends more upon
the size than the age. Tiny tots, Of
two or three years, are covered to the
feet; for a girl of eight the frocks should
reach only few inches below the knee,
and should increase in length with ad
yancing years until at twelve they should
reach the ankle.
Meltons and French wash Chcviots
are serviceablo for school and ordinary
wear, and cashmere and chuddahs, in
pale shades or white, for more dressy
toilets
Little Spanish jackets Of velvet of a
darker or contrasting shade are very
pretty with high-pointed sleeves reach
ing to the elbow, over a full under
sleeve of the wool fabric; these jackets
arc trimmed on the edge with the tint
est possible pearl or cut-steel buttons,
in groups of three or five. Some plain
cashmere frocks have high-neckcd
waists shirred to form yoke, and full
bishop sleeves shirred at the wrist; these
have soft girdles OF velvet or surah,
plain or plaided, which are drawn
through long buckle in front, drawn
up high at the wide seam and down
again in the back where the ends are
fastened under two rosettes. Plain
camels-hair or cashmere frocks, with
zouave jacket fronts, have blouses and
undersleeves of plated surah; folded
sash of the wool conceals where the
blouse and skirt meet, and falls in ends
at the back.
A pretty little dress for girl of four
teen is in coouelicot India silk, with
tiny black sprigs over it; the skirt is
in accordion plaits; the waist and short
sleeves are also in tiny plaits: there is
a E-shaped woke of black velvet and

In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court
has given decision in regard to the
property of married women and their
right to make will.
Though such important interests of
women are concerned, neither the Leg
islatures nor the courts have a single

woman's point of view in the matter.

The Old Settler took his pipe from his
mouth and stared at Peleg until the
latter grew uneasy. When he found his
voice at last the Old Settler said:
"W't deestric' does it say that news
comes from, Pelog"
"From Zanzibar" replied Peleg.

Peleg had read about all there was in

putting it away, Having done SO, he

LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS.


What the Different States are Doing In
the Interests of Women.
The recent past has been frightful in
legislation that concerns women.
The Massachusetts Legislation has
made it possible for married woman
who is minor to relinquish her dover,
and to ALLEVIATE her homestead rights.
The New Jersey Assembly passed a
bill making it unnecessary for married
women to take separate acknowledge
ment from their husbands in any con-
veyance. The separate acknowledge
ment has hitherto provided that the
wife should be questioned apart from
her husband to make sure that she gave
her consent to the conveyance, and was
not acting under compulsion from him.
In the New Jersey Senate bill was
passed providing that husbands real
estate sold under Judgment shall be re-
lieved of the wife's dover Heretofore
a wife could hold her dover rights in all
cases. They could only be tslsen tssrs

Wherever woman suffrage has been
tried, writes Francis Minor, in the Fo-
rum it has proved success. The tes-
timony from English sources is abund-
ant, that since the complete onfranchisc-
ment of women in the Isle of Man, the
condition of public affairs there has
improved; and this fact is used as an ar
gument to show that parliamentary suf-
frage should be extended to women in
England also. In the Territory of Wy
oming women have enjoyed full suffrage
since 1869, period Of twenty-one years.
Governor Campbell, who was in office at
the time, in his message two years later
said that the women had conducted
themselves in every respect with as much
tact, sense and good Judgment as men.
Two years after, he repeated that the
system of impartial suffrage was an un-
qualified success. His successors, Gov
ernors Thayer, Hoyt, Hale and Warren,
have all borne witness to the same ef-
feet, and NJ. C. Brown, L. S. Attorney
for the Territory, says that woman suf-
frage in Wyoming has accomplished
much good, and has harmed no one"
Pages might be filled with similar tostt-
mony, not only as to Wyoming, but as
to the other Territories where woman
suffrage has been tried Mere theoreti-
cal views in opposition are but as
small dust in the balance" compared
with these actual facts.
