A dressmaker il quoted by the New
York Tribune as saying that the great
trouble with all amateur work in her
line Is a want Of finish. Ladies often
have good ideas. she says, but she has
never known more than II lady
whose work could not be told at ones
as that Of a non-professional. Then
the woman with whom the dress
maker was talking offered Il consider
alton which is worth passing along as
at once a comfort and = warning.
One reason for the comparative
failure Of ''hnme-dressing" Is that too
much is attempted. Young people
especially aim at effect. An instance
OF this occurred the other day.
AT q committee meeting for a hos.
pital, in which ] am interested. ] saw
a girl who struck me as looking 50
well in an absolutely simple tailor
gown and dark blue felt hat to match.
that l asked at once who she was.
'1Quite distinguished, looking" was
my comment.
The next day l saw the girl again.
and marvelled at the change. She
had on a fussy dress, with IA gathered
silk front, which betrayed the incom-
petent hand ofan inexperienced dress
maker: aud a large hat, bedeckcd
with feathers. While she was still
pretty, her air OF distinction was
gone, and she seemed rather common
All mydesire to know her, vanished
at once, but very likely she was better
pleased with herself in her tinery than
in her little serge gown.

fancy that to care nothing for what
Others feel, to take the best, and he
the foremost by dint Ut pushing, and
never on any account to allow an
other precedence, is to assert them
selves properly. This is a great mis-
take: such conduct, instead OF being
an evidence of true independence OF
character, is a mark of ignorance and
vulgarity,
In England and In some parts OF
continental Europe. vulgar people are
rude to those beneath them aud ser
vile to those above them. In this

rank, the ignorant and ill-maanered

and mechanics, many milliners and

Opponents Of an American protective
policy may well desire to suppress the
publication OF official reports. Is it a.
together an accident that, in the first
full year after the new protective tariff
and it's reciprocity clause went into
force. the merchandise exports from the
United States and the merchandise i'm
ports into the United States were both
much the largest in value ever known
in any calendar year? Is il altogether
an accident that the merchandise ex-
ports in the last month of that year
we're the largest ever known in any
month, q the exports for November
and for October had been in their turn?
10 It entirely an accident that the in
crease in exports during the last ten
years has been small in breadstuffs, pro-
visions and oil, only about Is per cent.
In cotton, but 81 per cent. in other arti-
cles which are largely products of man.
The official report for December and
for the year 1891 is one of peculiar in
terest for all Americans who take pride
In the progress of their country. There
is, first, the surprising fact that that the
value of ex ports in December was near
ly - per cent. larger than in the same
month Of 1890, when the amount was
greater than it had been in any month
excepting October and November of
1891. With $ll9,932, 532 exports, and
only $69, 444 .655 imports, the excess of
exports was $50, 4S77 ,877, which is also
unprecedented. In the last six months
Of 1892 the excess of exports over i'm
ports was SIS Ass, POI, and the aggre-
gate value Of exports was 1851 ,l2f ,S31,
which has never been approached in
any previous half-year.
Next there 10 the fact that, in spite of
the depression Of trade in breadstuffs
during the first half Of 1891 because OF
the partial failure of crops in 1890, the
value ofexports Wal greater in the full
year than IN any previous year, exceed
ing by almost ISL 100000 the aggregate
in 1880, which prior to this wear had
never been equaled.
The exports in 1891. 1890 and 1881 IRE
