1t is rumored that the women who
love barbarie and Oriental things are
gazing to adopt Bernhardt's example
and mingle fur with gauze. In one
act OF CLEOPATRA Sarah wears a
tiger skin bound about the hips over
draperies OF gauzs. This will be soon
sprung upon swelldom by some of the
daring bells. Fancy skirts of green
gauZe. with a scarf of ermine about
the hips. That surely would be effec-
tive. Or picture some of those golden
brown tIrs over yellow gauze.
Another trick OF Sarah's has been
caught--that of swathing a bodice on

short on Family Namas.

One of the oddities of fashionable
society in Philadelphia which is puzz-
ling to strangers is the number OF
young ladies IL t with and classed us
bellies who bear the same name. I'm
til recently it has not been considered
good form to use, except in intimate
intercourse, the young ladies' first
names, but now it is not only neces-
sary, but there being daughters Of
different branches of the same family
bearing the same Christian name, it
has been found convenient to number
them as in the case of young men. and
such titles as Miss Arabella Ritten-
house ii. and Miss Regina Pedigree
III. are found on cards and invita-
tions. This, of course, cannot be car
ried out in introductions, and as there
are at least twenty families with
young ladies bearing the same
name, though only distantly related,
the effect at a large party is very con
fusing. For instance, there are
twenty-eight Miss Biddles. -Phfla-

The American Girl.

After much observation of the wo-
men of many countries the conclusion
is inevitable that the freedom of early
girlhood, the looking upon men as
brothers, friends, and honorable gem
tlemen, the being thrown on ones
own good sense as a guide, above all,
being trusted by father and mother,
and lover, not being suspected or
watched by BLACK mesour." OF a too
suspicious duenna-that all this has
made a very noble race of American
women, who a be trusted with the
future of the nation. She may be

her own powers, and to ask not
Lord, what are ON of the things
Thou would'st have done by u so
ciety,n but Lord. what wilt Thou
have me to dogp Yet this condition
that members shall find their own
fields of labor makes to a few minds
an element of difficulty in the work.
Some people would prefer to have
their duties cut and dried, to be
spared the necessity of thinking or
feeling, or of opening their own eyes.
To such the education in the use Of
their own faculties that the order has
been to them has been worth, as
many testify. all the previous train
ing of their lives.

everybody was too busy to
give more than "a passing
moment at the bedside of an invalid
member, where the father in his inter-
walls of evening rest rarely found the
daughter sufficiently disengaged to
pass one hour with him. This same
young lady of whom we have spoken
had her class in a mission sewing
school, but from n weeks end to an
other she rarely saw her ten-year old
brother, except when they met around
the family board. Out of all her life
got she '1ler own satisfactions." Think
of the difference in such homes when
mother and father and younger chill

of her thought, and she considered
what could be done for the cheer of
