TIE BRIGHT LITTLE QUEEN.

The little Dutch Queen Wllhelmina
seems TO be a particularly bright and
original little maiden. Not long ago the
Queens mother gave her daughter a
collection of beautiful dolls dressed &C.
curately in the different uniforms
OF the Dutch army, each regt-
ment being represented by all
its officers from the Lieutenant up.
or course the present was intenned
To teach the little Queen to know at q
glance the rank Of any officer and his
regiment. "But they will bore them
selves to death If they have no ladies to
talk to-" said the little royal lady with
woman's nice instinct and diplomacy,
and accordingly her mother bought an
equal number Of large dolls dressed in
court costume to accompany the mill
tary men. When affairs get in a tangle
in Wllhelmiua's doll kingdom and dolls
will not be good at all, it is pathetic TO
hear the child threaten to make the doll
offender "a littld princess II she isn't
better, who can never do at all what
she likes, but must go nod6ing to every
lady and smiling all the time she is
driving or walking"

moderately fur-trimmed garments than

OF course the full fur garment will De
worn by those who prefer. Their rlch
effect will always carry them through.
But they are not necessary. The jaun-
tier fur trimmed things are more in &C
cord with existing ideas. A compro-
mise much favored In England is a wide
collarette OF fur falling In a long point
in front TO the knee exactly like grand
mama's, or with straight, narrow sash
ike ends depending even to the ground.
The mention Of England reminds me
OF q little rift within the lutte. We
have English modes and French modes
and they are rankly inconsistent, since
England has elected to find the square
and most beautiful geometrical figure,
France the triangle. The latest chic
thing from the bOulevards must still be
the joining OF two triaDgles at the
waist, the lower triangle based upon q
wide bOttOned skirt, the upper spread
ing out TO the summit OF the hugo bal
loon sleeves. Even the o%verskirts fall
in points, big or little, at their lower
edge.
In England-and English costumes
are received with much favor here
skirts are not always, but frequently,
narrower, s~traighter and more natural
than in tickle Gaul. English women
are more matter Of fact, more apt to
revolt against the implied necessity OF
pulling their corset strings tighter In
order TO make the apeXes OF the tri-
angles more perfect. Another distinct
ly English feature is q peculiar square
yoke from whose edge aad sides falls a
wide full band OF lace. Another in
stance of bold British revolt against
triangulstion is the arrangement, com

THE PRACTICAL IN EDUCATION.

Here is a point for the promoters OF
the higher education OF women, an OBJ
ject lesson from ~far-awyy, unevoluted,
uncivilized Alaska. IL was e woman
who told the story, a woman who had
spent the best years OF her life in Sitka
al the well-nigh hopeless task OF con-
verting the native Alaskan. The mo-
dus operaudi OF the missionary is to
take the little Indian boys and girls as
o as they are four years old, and
keep them and teach them in the mis-
sion until they are young men and wo-
men Of eighteen. Even then, II
they are allowed to return to
their tribes, al the years Of teach
log are in vain; therefore 1t is the OBJ
ject to have these young men and
uaidens fall in love with each other,
marry, and set up housekeeping in the
little cottages which surround the
mission house and are furnished by
benevolent people from the different
States aad are named after those States.

a low full bodice and skirt Of creamy
tint, shirred at the bosom, knotted at
the waist by a sash OF dark velvet.
The tunic outside falls straight from
the shoulder, never meeting in front, a
delicate light green tint faced round
the bottom and all the way up the edges
with old lace, which is continued about
the low neck cpealng to form the shout
der capes. Dark velvet are the short
puff sleeves, from which at the elbow
falls another waving mass OF lace.

A VIOLENT TORMENT.
Jealousy and It's Three Forms-Alvays
Shameful to Her Who Endures 1t.

Jealousy and It's Three Forms-Alvays
Shameful to Her Who Endures 1t.
Love has many torments, says an es-
ssyist in the Pal Mail Gazette, but OF
the whole number there Is only one that
is quite without q minglinR OF sweet
ness. This is jealousy, which is ac-
countable for more agony OF mind than
any other emotion. ALI the other SER
penis that infest loves paradise have a
little honey bag beneath their fangs;
jealousy is exceptional in that matter.
Like greed, to which it bears a close re-
semblance, IL is . OF the original
passions, aud had q flourish
ing existence long before love
was invented; meaning by that the
love which this dictionary serves to ex-
pound. All the original passions are
violent, and are expressed in ferocity
when they rise to their highest; even
the one that stood for love when as yet
there was no such thing. Jealousy was
all wrath till the tender passion OF love
grew up, and then became more tor
menting for the tenderness. Now grief
was added to wrath; and such
grleI tnat It's teAIsi luseeAu VI sOiaC
Ing the heart they spring from,
poison It. Nor had Jealousy
come to its worst complexion yet. IN
due time Imagination combined with
tenderness to madden jealousy, and
keep il among the blacklist Of human
passions. The jealous man is a prodigy
OF Imagination, excelled by none but
here and there a jealous woman; and
every new fancy is a new torture. 1t
is q Characteristic Of all the primal
emotions that they are capable Of extra
ordinary increase By ~broOding on them.
The more savage passions being dwelt
upon, rise 70 madness at an awful rate
of acceleration; aud since jealousy is
most apt 10 resorting TO imagination for
increase of its own torment, none so
quickly mounts to frenzy.
Jealousy takes three forms, or passes

bodice was gathered simply, caught
into a braided belt. The chief feature
OF the costume was . rounded collar Of
alsace velvet that came over the shoul-
ders from the back TO fail in q long
rever, narrowing slightly just at the
waist. Follow the career OF the rever.
II was slit through the center
below the waist and the back portion
was fitted into the skirt to form q panel
at the back Of each side. The front
half fell loosely to the feet. Each por-

running around the collar. Unique
