CHAT ON FASHION.

Clothes make the man and uniform the
there is space devoted and thought given to
so important an element in civilization
If mans position and his fame depends
upon his attire, woman's much more; and
there is ready excuse for her seeking out
fabrics and modes that shall give to her in
creased value and power Nor in this
search is she prone to allow to man the
privilege of debating, but will continue to
arroyate to herself the right to decide in
matters of dress as to prevailing styles.
The New York Herald editorially protests
against women sweeping, the streets with
their trails, halt humorously praises the IN
selfishness of those women VINO in this
way perform the neglected duty of men in
keeping clean sidewalks, and in the name of
galantry rebels against the wearing of long
skirts. The Newport News says that there
is a proposition to make it unlawful for a
woman to trail her skirts on the streets.
The revolutionary fathers begat sons and
daughters, and independence is their COM
mon i heritance, and while women may

vice, when men step on the train of a
woman's gown there will he apt to be rebel

the street, The train does not trail,
and although the effort of carrying
may be tiresome and the effect
not graceful, so long as fashion
Woman love drapery in costuming and the
long skirt adds dignity and stateliness, at
the same time atfording better opportunity
for a sweep of lace or some of the soft ma
terials that fall in artistic folds. As there
are few woman of perfect mould the Sc
verely made tailor gown emphasizes
too distinctly any shortening and the an
nouncement that drapery is to be used more
than the previous season will be welcomed.
1t is generally conceded that the clothes
of an American woman seem more part
and portion of her own stylish person than
are those of the women of other nations

ity." This is exemplified in reception
gown which unites variety and beauty. The
material was rich brocade and made with .
rather long train, having crossed corsage
and short pulled sleeves. The bodice was
fitted over velvet yoke and long velvet
sleeves. Q These can be removed for full
dress oncasions. In addition there are
yokes Of crepe de chine or silk to vary the
toilet as suits the occasion, thus with one
gown there are several variations. Polka
dotted fabrics are still worn and for house
dress there is nothing prettier than red

lace and ribbon. A lace jabot from mock to

In arranging the neck it may be cut slight
V and Medici collar cut separate to be
worn as fancy prompts.
For evening occasions Henrietta and
cashmere in light shades make dressy
gowns. Usually not more than six yards
are required to make dress, and it only
needs little chiffon and velvet for waist
trimming
In the warm days that Texas now has it
seems absurd to write of broadcloth dresses,
and yet they are thought of because the ma
terial is popular in colder climates. For
this winter broadcIoth trimmed with fur
will be the fashionable suit, and border Of
mink should be put around neck and wrist
and bottom Of the skirt When the gown
is cut princesse fashionable way is to
edge the portions which fasten diagonally
from left shoulder down to foot of skirt
with quite wide border of fur.
A London favorite is what is known as
the sporting dress"
It is narrow, lined at the border, shows
well the form and touches the ground at the
back with short train. Of trimming it is
almost entirely bare, even in the newest
forms, in which the skirt consists of three
founces, but which fit tight and in their
plainness and simplicity have little in COM
mon with an ordinary 1ounce.
The waist is long and looks more like a
paletot Some waists have sort of
swallow-taii addition at the back; others
have the front falling down loose jacket
like.
A novelty in costume is of hairy material
in bright red over which is a sort of fine
black netting. The dress is made with an
underskirt, on the left-hand side of which
are jet designs, rendered visible through an
opening Of the upper skirt. The waist,
with long swallow-tails, is double breasted
and shows feather border trimming, while
from heart-shaped opening in the front
the luster of jet is seen. The sleeves are of
the form most liked at present, kind Of
bell puff to which is attached wide cuff.
In front is seen half girdle of black passe

them quickly from the cold water and lay
them in the spider, there to sputter and

Beefsteak bones need never be thrown

Crack the bones in pieces and put them in
a closely-covered saucepan with just enough
water to cover them; let them simmer
slowly couple of hours, then add two
sliced potatoes. two carrots chopped fine
and one sliced onion. If you want tomato
soup add half dozen tomatoes peeled and
sliced, or tapioca or vermicelli. Add as
much water as you will need for the guam
tity of soup desired, boil for two hours, re-
move the bones, season and serve.

An English Bride in Phiiadelphis.

BY the by, will tell you funny story.
When the English cricket team came here,
you will remember they had a charming little
bride with them, the only lady of the party,
Mrs. Key. New York painted itself 4 bril-
hani carmine in honor of its English WISH
tors upon their arrival, and then they went
over to Philadelphia. There was supposed
to be a committee of reception. and the
dainty little bride was approached one even
ing at the hotel by two elderly women who
had been detailed to make it pleasant for
Mrs. Key. The only remarks they made to
this most charming of English women Gt
mas just at that time when we all felt as if
we were living in Hades) were these: One
of the women cleverly inquired: do you
enjoy our warm weatherl'' Now, fancy an
English woman enjoying our warm weather.
Why, we were not patriotic enough our
selves even 10 enjoy it. The little bride re-
marked with some sadness: well it is i
little different from our ~ Then the other
member of the committee sailed in, and
made her inquiry: Have you been to Wa

Some Things That are Wasted.

By the way, there is good deal of vast
ing done in this world. 1t is wasting good
woman to marry her to a worthless man.
1t is wasting pretty baby to give it to
an unappreciative family.
1t is wasting good actor to surround
him with bad company.
Il is wasting pretty woman not to give
her pretty clothes.
1t is wasting terrapin to cook it badly.
1t is wasting time to try to teach politi-
clan to be honest.
1t is wasting money not to spend it on
women.
1t is wasting flowers not to give them to
them.
1t is wasting love, kisses and all the good
things of life not to take them in your
hands, if you are a man, and give them to
some woman. The Lord intended it to be
that way. He made Adam first that he
might get things ready for Eve SO that she
would have no trouble. But, dear me, am
inclined to believe that the Adamses have
degenerated and that they are willing to let
Eve do her share, and woman's share is,
always two-thirds of the whole. Don't yQd
think 500 Oh, yes, you do. Be oblighg

Girls who have failed as artists yet have
the capability of doing good engrav
ing on watch cases, and certainly that
woman is placed where she can do the best
work. There is one of MIR. Childs' good
deeds. Another is the newspaper office.
He pays women as big salaries as he does
men, and he is kind-hearted enough to tell
them they can stay away from their desks
when the day is very stormy. Now, that
is what l call being good man, don't

There are several reasons why we can
not carry all our wealth to the place pre-
pared for US in the hereafter. and certainly
it must be more pleasurable to give it
away while we are here and have the peo-
pie say thank your to us, then to let the
lawyers wrangle over it after we are dead.
"Bab moralizing2' laughs some editor.
Well, she does once in a while, though not
more than other people; she sees the disa-
greeable side of life but she sees the good
as well, and you might just as well, through
her, hear Of some good people.

OPEN LETTER
From the Master of the Grange to Presi-
dent of the Alliance

dent of the Alliance
RUsK, TEX. Nov. 6, 1851.
Hon. Evan Jones, President Farmers State
Alliance:
DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER-In your an
swer to my open letter you seem to en-
tirely misunderstood or misconstrue my
proposition to you as the representative
head of the Alliance.
/ did not in the least refer to the CONSOLE
dation of the Alliance and Grange. On
this point had no authority and assumed
none. The two orders formed for the same
purpose ought to cooperate, whether they
ever consolidate or not
The Texas state Grange has declared that
the sub-treasury plan is contrary to the
principle on which it rests, and contrary to
sound principles of good government.
The state Alliance has unanimously in
dorsed it, Here is the difference, and it is
fundamental. do not ask you to ''compro-
mise" the Alliance in any way, but you and
owe it to the farmers and people of Texas
to have the question discussed, that they
may intelligently decide as to the best posi-
ton to occupy.
Let newspapers and organs say what
they will about you and me, or anybody
else, but let US meet the issue. You and l
cannot evade the responsibility Of having
this subject fully and fairly presented. The
best interests Of all demand it. If the Texas
state Grange be wrong l want to know it
and the Grange wants to know it. If the
Alliance be right there should be no oc-
casion to decline the discussion. there
fore, in the interest Of all concerned, re-
new and insist on my proposition to discuss
the sub-treasury plan in a free, full and
dignified manner through the Mercury and
Farmer. Honestly believing that this is
for the best, and that peace and good feel
ing will prevail, ask that you accede to
the proposition. Most truly and FRAZER
nally yours, JOHN B. LoSS,
Master Texas State Gfange,

The Washington Cab Horses.

The popularity of the cab horse in Wash
ington is that he seems to know just where
you are going, and the speed that you
would like. He makes the punishment suit
the crime. Once l went out to see a yoodoo
doctor at the Jail, and that cab horse
thought was being sent up for thirty days
and so he kept me as long time getting there
as possible. He was what the French W
call sympatico. When he saw me come out
of that jail, and saw the gentlemanly war
den present me with a bunch of bright red
geraniums, he came to the conclusion that
was Mckinley politician, and he trotted
me back to Washington and dropped me at
the Arlington with that same old thud that
the actor describes as dull and sickening.
If he thinks for little minute that you are
out with YOUR sweetheart, really believe
he puts on blinkers, for he never turns his
head to look, and he goes as slowly as pos
sible, is perfectly willing when you go
home to give an account of yourself, and
put the blame on having the slowest horse
in the city. He is nice cab horse, very.

After this my soul and 1 trotted of to see
good man. like good man. like men
anyhow. God made them that women
might like them and be taken care of by
them. Sometimes they don't do it; then
they are not men. suppose they are proto-
plasms. Well, we got on the ferry and on
the train and we came over, introduced our
selves to the cab horse Of Philadelphia and
went to see Mr.. Childs. Now, there is a
good man. who is dong his good while he
is here He has been maryelously kind to
women in the best way possible; he has put
it in their power to get work when il was
necessary for them to support themselves,
and take care Of themselves like gentle
women. And you know that is doing deA
for women. It is more than building col
leges it is more than founding institutions

Cab Horses Know Something.

He knows but one shop; you can imagine
whose that is, and though you may talk and
beg to be taken somewhere else, if it is not
right into Mr.. Wanamaker's bazar, it is
two blocks away from it, or just opposite to
it, or if you go in there they will tell you.
The Philadelphia cab is not success. The
horse is of a bony order; perhaps he is 4
protoplasm. do not know exactly what a
protoplasm is, but it sounds well. The
hanson itself has no modern adiuncts. Its
doors do not close by electricity, and there
is no sign of a mirror inside, but the rates
do stare you in the face, and if you are a
woman and give the man a quarter over the
price he has to pay the company, he looks
at you as if you were an angel come from
New York, to make happy shabby and un-
tipped drivers.

In q New York Cab.

The New York cab is not without its
peculiarities, by the by. 1 have been sus-
pended out of the window myself, scream
ing to the cabman, and he has been equally
persistent in choosing his own way. But
at least he meauders a little bit, and
doesn't get in line like the Philadelphia one
does on the car tracks, with three of Wanna
makers wagons. two cars and another han
som ahead of him and the same number of
vehicles, presumably, behind him, and then
proceed as if he were going to funeral.
This mode of driving is not good for ner-
vous woman; she gets to wondering where
the corpse is, and then there comes over
her an awful conviction that perhaps before
her home is reached she will be the corpse
herself. Still. = cab on track is smooth,
and it is totter than being iolted over the
stones

Baltimore and Philadelphia "cabbiesr

The Baltimore cab horse is rather more
dignified. Its driver invariably declines to
hear any suggestion that you may make.
He thinks he knows it all, and his idea is
that you shall live your life as he wishes it,
ner of arrogant blue blood, and a great
knowledge of civilization. He comes out
great at Masonic professions, when the
men who Wear horse collars and plumes on
their hats are to the fore, and he prances as
if the Templar of old were indeed in the
Nineteenth century.
The Philadelphia cab horse is more than
simply peculiar. He has no knowledge
whatever of the city itself He lives in the
basement of the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton, and thinks that wherever else you
want to go, it will be wisest TO finish up
there and leave the town. Even
