many years ago when dramatic
school was Just started the pupils took to
"supeinR" at a production OF Julius
Cesar Many of those same pupils are
well known aud before the public to-day.
One OF them lived up ia Harlem. or course,
the girls, though wild at the chance to 20
on the real stage, were not vet ready 10
take the usual experiences they would all
very soon get used to when they got on
the stage for good and all. The
result was that the school manage
ment under whose auspices the
pupils took the engagement arranged
for messenger boys to attend such of the
girls as lived at a distance. This one girl
had long, lonely walk past vacant block
after getting out at her station. She and
her messenger boy we're trudginK along one
night when the girl, inspired by desire to
study human nature as she had learned all
great artists always did, began to ply the
boy with questions.
"You are here, you krow. to protect
me" she began. The boy squirmed. Now,
you see that big, black looking tres at the
corner We are coming to" The boy said
he did, but be didn't seem TO consider it
much OF an object to think about at the
time. "Supposs," she went on. Just as We
got there, a man with gun should spring
out at me-waving the gun-what would

Then the noble youth lifted up his voice
and shTieked: "Goshl I'd run for help"
The hitterest moment in the life Of Miss
Frances Z. Willard, says the New York
Times, seems TO have been the day on which
she first put on the outward garb Of woman
hood. Speaking of that time she SAYS: "No
girl went through harder experience than
!, when my free, out-of-door life had to
cease and the long skirts and clubbsd-up
hair spiked with hair pins bad to be en-
dured. The half of that downheartedness
has never been told and never can be.
always believed that if had been let alone
and allowed as a woman what | had as a
girl, free life in the country, where a
human being might grow body and soul, as
tree grows, / would have been ten times
more of person in every way"
In her diary at the time she wrote: "My
back hair is twisted up like a corkscrew; I
carry eighteen hairpins; my head aches mis-
erably; my feet are entaugled in the skirt
OF my hateful gown. / can never jump
over fence again as long as l live"
met girl dressed in the very latest.
She looked the very latest. l believe, says
Glare Bella in the Times Democrat, she
thought the very latest, and certainly she
must has been the very latest, because she
was making most surprisingly brisk time
as she sped down the Madison avenue steps,
and away down town, her stockY pug at
her heels But at the first crossing the
stocKy pug stopped. You know what the
weather has been, and the condition OF the
streets in even the best part of town. It
was not only dirt which seemed to disgust
the pug, but GOLD, wet snow that hurt his
feelings. His mistress, already on the
other side, stopped and chirruped. Then
she said severely:
"Come, come, Mansfield I'm 10 hurry
comew
He elevated his nose even more and
started carefully across. One dainty paw
got wet TO the black ankle, whereat he
stopped and would not take another step.
Then go home, said his mistress, as
beautiful bluff.
At thls his pugship sat down upon the
stiff curl of his tail. She fumed and coaxed,
but there he sat, and of course she had to
give up and make her own way back over
the puddle and gather into her dainty en-
brace the pug, wet paws and all. And yet
they say girls CT the present day have 10
feelings. Let US rather say that the pugs
have none.
A char ming American, says the New
York Tribune, who has Just arrived from
Paris with no end of pretty gowns, gives
the latest word from the great French fash
ion authorities as follows: mo, | saw no
hoopskirts any where, not even the slightest
approach TO one, although attn told that
they are actually displayed for sale 10 a
shop In New York. OF course, little stiff
crinoline is permissible, and one or two
dressmakers in Paris tried running a wire
along the bottom Of the skirt But even
that was not a success among fashionable
women. At Doucets aud Worth's they are
making as yet no costumes intended
for crinoline. ALI the same, however,
they are one and all very mysterious
about coming styles and affect great
secrecy. Madam lad better order very
little just now they told me at Doucet's
where get nearly all my gowns, for there
will be radical changes before long, But
when asked what they were they only
looked wise and would not commit them
selves. So what these changes are to be
cannot even guess; but do not think it is
crinoline. for that has been talked about so
much that it would be no novelty, and |
think it has had its day before 1t ever ex-
isted-to use an Irish bull. Perhaps, fol-
lowing the tendency Of the day, the dress
makers mean to make a 'combtne-a trust,
you would call it over here-And
force us to wear anything they like.
OF course that would make all our
old gowns quite useless and we would have
TO buy others. But one thing is certain

changes 50 we may prepare ourselves
for something interesting. just now the
1880 style is more in vogue than Anything
else, and 1t is Ger, ainly not becoming. The
skirts are so gored that they hang IN flutes
around the bottom and are at least five
yards around. If it we're not for the cores
the skirts would be dreadfully heavy; but
as it IL they are not at all uncomfortable,
only ugly, for they look just like an
umbrella cover with the ribs slipped out
and they have hardly any folds a. the waist,
You ask which is the most popular
Worth or Doucet. now. Well, / should
say Doucet, decidedly for the beau monde,
and Worth for actresses. Worth has genins
certainly, but his works are overtrimmed /;
while Doueet's cdchet consists OF his adj
mirable simplicity, which combined with
style, is veritable art. To me, although l
suppose it ia treason to say SO, WoFth's
creations. with all their richness, look just
little old-iashioned. There is really very
little difference between gowns / have
brought home and those | saw made at the
beginning of the winter. The sleeves are a
little different, perhaps, in that they are
made with the extreme fullness hanging be-
low the shoulder, the effect of the long
shoulder being very much heightened
by a little shirring across the top,
which forces the fulness down rather than
out. A regular grandmother's sleeve, you
see" she continued, shaping out the soft,
full bengaline leg-o'-mutton shape of dress
she was showing, land another thing you
may generally notice about Doucet's waists
Is that they have as rule no REams
