h Ribbons Do,

Ribbons are the rage. Not even the
last time that fashion was hung up and
strung up with ribbons did she have
more of them than we bid fair to have
now. The last ribbon craze was in Mo-
Heres time, and, dear me, how many
more ribbons we have to choose from
than they had then! It is q good idea,
for ribbons are great fresheners. Sew
them in rows on old tulle. They will
help to keep the tulle together, cover
holes and spots and make it prettier than
before. If o bodice does not fit, sew rib
bons on it in bands, following the best
lines Of the figure. You will be aston
ished to find that somehow it seems to
be q fit at once. With a few yards Of
ribbons you can turn q blouse into a
swell, swathed fit.

sumptuary Laws.

In 1541 the Venetian Senate made it
a penal offence to wear more than n
string of pearls, and that had to be
not of higher value than 200 ducats.
Even this did not satisfy them. In
1862 they gave the law a corollary

fectly adapted to enrage all the elder
ly matrons of the city. No woman
except the Doge's wife and daughters
were to wear any pearls after the
tenth year of their marriage; MOI were

a single necklace of an outside value
of 400 ducats, the same to be duly

tiles.
The Venetian women revolted
against certain other restrictions
about dress materials. They were SO
angry that they formed IN alliance,
and petitioned the Pope on the sub
ject. It was the best thing they could
do; for his Holiness, ever anxious to
assert himself in Venice, annulled the
obnoxious decree. which had ema-
mated from the Venetian Patriarch.
Anon, however, they got to despise
the various sumptuary laws which
came upon them thick as autumnal
leaves. Nearly every one dis
regarded them. True, the execu-
tive employed spies, whose business it
was to go about taking stockn of
the people, measuring with their eyes
the height of the ladies' dresses, and
guessing at their value. Now and
again a prosecution occurred. If the
gown was at fault for its s~umptuous-
ness, both the owner and its maker
were fined. If aladywas found with
more pearls on her person than was
permissible she was liable to a penalty
of no less than 200 ducats, of which
half went to the informer.

from offices, stores and factories to
board during two weeks vacation.
At the end of the summer she found
that but nine of the number knew
how to make a bed, and many OF them
made it a boast that they had Lever
made a bed in theiraives.
Some did not eveH9sknow whether a

trained them. There are hundreds

My advice to the girls and women
with whose educational progress l
have in any respect been Identified
has always been to keep out OF debt,
to dress plainly, to be careful in their
behavior toward men, and as careful
in their behavior toward women; to
be respectful to thor employers and
to be truthful. ] have not scrupled
to say to them that III my experience
the most refined women have
been those whose tastes in matters
of dress have been most quiet
and plain, and that the working girl
should, above all things, avoid ex-
trayagance in dress. / have found
that girls and women are apt to run
into debt for clothes, and whenever
such cases have come to my know
ledge l have proffered my assistance
toward restoring their credit upon the
express stipulation that they should
never again put a chain of that sort
about their necks. George w. ChStdS

An Answer to the Question
Why Men Are Not More
Polite to Women.
THEY GET SOME HARD KNOCKS.
Practical Home Training-Sump-
tuary Venetian Laws-George
Child's Advice 10 Girls.

The question is often asked:-Why
are men not more polite to women in
the street cars? This refers to the
fact that men are not SO prompt as
they used to be to give seats to women
in crowded cars. We think the real
cause of this is that womeiS are not
polite to each other. How often does
a young mi give up her seat to
an older woman or to a man who is
less able to stand than she?
There are many men who have for
a long time made it a practice to give
their seats to any woman who entered
the car and found all the seats taken.
They have changed the custom, and
now only give seats to elderly men
and women or, we fear, to very
pretty young LII There Is
another reason for this. The fact
is. women are not very careful to
show their appreciation of the court
esy shown them. 1t is very annoying
to a mar to give up his eat to a young
woman probably better able to stand
than he and have her flop down in
the seal as if it belonged to her OF
right and give the barest possible
recognition of the courtesy. 1t is
still more annoying to him to note
that, if Immediately after, an older
woman, scarcely able to stand, enters
the a the young beneficiary of his
courtesy shows no disposition to offer
the newcomer the seat.
Until women are more polite to
each other and to men, they need not
complain if they are called upon to
stand while men keep their seats.
There is in every man a feeling OF
chivalry, but it is given some hard
knocks occasionally. The PhiiGdet-
nhiG In0Mirer.

STATUS OF THE SALOON.

The supreme court of Indiana has de-
cided that saloons are nuiSances under
the law, and are subject to abatement
as such. The case cams p for hearing
on appeal from lower court in Indian
apolis, in which a lady, properly
owner, sought to restrain the establish
ment OF saloon in the neighborhood in
which she resided. She attacked the
cOnstltutionalty Of the license law, be-
sides claiming that the saloon was
nuisance; but the court held that that
law was constitutional, but it was not
tho intention of the legislature to put
the sale of intoXicants above the rights
of the citizen and compel him to bear
with nuisance and to suffer loss in
order for the saloon to exist. In COM
meDting upon the case the court furthe
declares that the business of the saloon
is immoral, and it is for this very reaso
that it is licensed, that the law may af-
ford the citizen protection against the
greater evils that would result from the
restrained sale of liquor
This Is. we believe, the first instance
on record wherein COURT of competent
and ultimate jurisdiction has passed
upon the moral status of the saloon. 1t
is great triumph for the prohibition
lists. for it places in their hands weap-
on that may be welded with signal eff
feet upon their adversaries.
But it does not follow that if saloon
is nuisance in one locality it Is NUS
ance everywhere. Such a conclusion is
not warranted either by law or common
sense. There are other occupations,
such as slaughtering, rendering, and
the manufacture of fertilizers, that arc
nuisances if conducted in the midst of
popu!ous districts, which are held to be
legitimate if pursued where they cause
no inconvenience or discomfort to the
community. And so with the saloons.
In residence locality they may be con-
strued as nuisances, but i'll a business
district the same definition would not
necessarily apply. Indeed. many re-
gard them as necessity, and some hold
that their presence contributes in
large measure to the prosperity of a
community. The opinions of such men
are entitled to consideration, as we'll as
those of the people who oppose saloons
under all conditions.
The Indiana decision seems to be an
animation of the right of local option
more than of the doctrine of prohibition.
1t Is democratic in that it asserts the
right OF community to exclude from
its midst that which it considers PERM
cious. 1t is good law, but there is dan
ger that 1t will be taken advantage of in
the Interests of oppression No single
person should have the power to drive a
tenant from property in proxi nifty to
his own on grounds of personal preju-
dice. Unless he can show community
interests, ne should not be accorded
such a dangerous privilege, and no
court would sustain him if he should
claim it.

closely III their footsteps. This cabal.
self-constituted. has no law other than
its own inclination to guide or restrain
it. 1t assumes to act OH behalf of the
people, but pays no heed to the popular
demands. It's authority is self-assume d,
and has no sanction. either moral or
constitutional. Crude as it was. de-
clamatory as 1t undoubtedly is, it was
far better than nothing, provided it vas
observed. But it is questionable if any
constitution, no m litter how perfect in
its details, could secure for an ignorant
and indolent people, such as those who
compose the Inhabitants of Hawaii, all
the rights to which they are entitled.
Those in power will invariably stretch
their privileges to the utm ,St at the ex-
penSe of the weaker element, and, as
everywhere else. tue classes will be ag-
grandized at the expense of the masses.
The discovery of the Hawaiian consti-
tuition possesses interest as discovery;
it is of no Importance in IFS practical
bearing upon the people Of the islands.
