One young lady had a dress Of a peculiar
plaid. The body of the plaid was in shep-
herds check Of slate and black, with a
plaid an inch square formed of one black
and one white thread thrown over it. This
was made with - plain six gore skirt, the
back breadths being straight and laid in
deep plaits. The waist was plain, with
'choker collar, but %buttoning diagonally
from left to right. There was a short
round jacket of the same, fitting like q
glove. The jacket wa double breasted
and turned down with revers to meet the
buttons. There were high gigot sleeves.
The jacket was lined all through with
changeable taffeta. The skirt to the close
hitting jacket was not over eight or ten
inches below the waist line. There were two
flies" on each side of the skirt, stitched
neatly. One was for the pocket and the
other for the opening. Few dresses now
open in the back. The left side is the best
place for the placket by all means.
The tailor made gowns seen at the
"show" did not all follow the old set rules
as to color, for some were really quite bril-
liant. One broadcloth tailor gown was in
a rich blue purple, like the frost on the
plum, and it was finished with the same
perfection of severe simplicity that marked
the others, several lines of machine stitch
ing being the only ornament aside from
eight enormous pearl buttons, showing fit
full CLEANS OF blue and red. Thick and
rough surfaced tweeds were also conspicu-
Gus il their studied simplicity, and | no.
tlced three or four gowns of black cloth
with white silk or velvet facings, all in the
most approved tailor style, worn by quite
young ladies.
While the young ladies wear the trying
II elegant tailor gowns of wooden material,
the matrons of all ages are privileged to
wear more dressy fabrics, and they took
advantage OF the privilege. Rich silks, vel
vets and furs, with no end of embroidery
and heading lace and ribbons, We're seen
everywhere. Notable among many hand
some costumes was a dress of MORE of a
metallic luster, not gray or blue exactly,
yet having glints of these colors in the sur
face. Over all this was thrown Il profusion
OF purple iris in raised velvet pattern, the
flowers natural size. each having one leaf.
The skirt was cut plain empire, with a
demitrain, and around the bottom was a
ruff1e of " shades of purple velvet-one
standing up and the other falling. The
SolsaSe was Oh purple velvet, With q medlcl
ruff of lace. The sleeves had the upper
part of the dress material and the forearms
OF purple velvet, with a rufle of fine lace
falling over the hand. On her proud head
this lady wore a splendid yellow wig, top
ped by q purple velvet bonnet, with one
velvet flower de luce and two knifelike
leaves. am not quite positive about the
wig, but several ladies agreed that it was
one.
Two sisters, bellies both. wore the plain
est of redingotes. One was of hair line
tweed, in two shades Of brown, fastened
down the right side by six braid buttons.
There was q brown velvet belt and a short

Mysteries of the Sea.

In the profound abysms of the sea there
are strange forms of life that never see the
upper light. save when brought up by the
trawl. The work recently accomplished
by the United States Fish commission YES
sci, the Albatross, has established the fact
that forms of sea life inhabiting the upper
waters may descend to about 1900 feet
from the surface, but below this, to a depth
of 800 or 800 fathoms, a barren water zone
intervencs where marine life seems absent.
But still deeper, strange to say, have been
discovered abundant and varied fauna new
to science, living under conditions of ire
mendous pressure and remarkable paucity
of tho life sustaining element of oxygen
Thus science is forever bringing some new
fact to light and putting the darkness of
ignorance to flight.

moment one of them smokers. A staid old
Quaker, aroused from his %rcverie, goes and
sits down behind the boys to keep them
straight. Then all is silence again.
One of the elders finally arises, ''when the
spirit moves" as they say, repeats a verse
Of Scripture and gives Il brief exposition of
it's innate truth. In many communities
women are the speakers, and strange us it
may seem they usually make short speeches.
There is a striking preference for women AZ
leaders among the Quakers. growing out of
the fact that the first martyr to the Quaker
faith was u woman, who suffered execution
at the hands Of the blue bloodcd Puritans
of New England. A Quaker meeting is
finally broken up by one of the elders ON
the front bench, who reaches over and
shakes hands with another elder. The con-
gregation follows his example. and there is
n general h~andshaking as the Quakcrs Leave
the meeting house.
There is only n service on Sunday, and

The words 'woman's work. are coming
to have a less restricted meaning every day.
Not SO very long ago-a half century ut the
most-houscwork, sewing and teaching
were about all that would have occurred to
any one asked for a definition Of the words.
Not that there were not women even then
engaged in other occupations, but they
were generally considered out Of their
sphere, IL not to have unsexed themselves.
They kept on, however, and as the advance
ment of science and the arts opened up new
fields. having demonstrated their ability,
they quietly entered in and took their share
of the work entailed. Nor have they neg
lected the older vocations, but as oppor-
tunity was afforded they have demon
strated their ability and sometimes their
superiority, and today may be said to claim
even honors with the sterner sex in all
branches of mercantile life, in art, science,
literature and many of the ordinary handi-
crafts or trades.
With the advent of women in journalism
it was but natural perhaps that some of
their less ambitious sisters should seek the
opportunity of gaining a livelihood by set

cts. The covert coats were very much in
evidence. These new covert coats are fully
a foot longer than they have ever been
made before. The skirts are so full as to be
almost circular and are lined throughout
with satin or silk, striped satin or cherry
seeming to be preferred. These coats are
made of drab coachman's cloth or of some
other of the light colored cloths, and the
skirt is finished in the most exquisite man.
ner. The coat is interlined so as to be quite
warm. There is a snug waist to go with the
skirt of the same material and cut with
great care, so as to fit perfectly and to take
upthe least amount of space under the coat.
Large pearl or bone buttons finish the coat.

collar is admissible, but q feather boa or a

Mems Smoking. Coats.

The newest English smoking coats for
men are usually made of either black or
dark blue cloth, lined with flannel, faced
with silk, or throughout with quilted satin,
to match the color of the cloth. Some are
edged round with black and white or blue
and red silk cord. Others are embroidered
on the roll collar and cuffs. Ladies' some
times do this work after their own designs,
especially when the coat is intended for u
lift.
