Still Safe In His Arms,


All dressed in white and gauzy thinxs
The lovely Ann Miranda
No longer in the hammock swings
Out on the side veranda.
No longer trembles in its folds
When evening birds are calling,
While Willie Johnson brayely holds
Her to prevent her falling.
But doth the gentle maiden sigh
While Illuminating over
Those pleasant summer nights whom hiQA
The moon was sailing over
And Willie Johnson's tenor crooned
The songs most to her liking
Ecstatic nights on which they spooned
Till twelve o'clock was striking.
All, moi Such memories as these
Disturb not fair Miranda,
Although she cannot get the breeze
And squeeze on the veranda,
She's we'll aware that Willie can
Save her. and does 1t nightly,
From falling of the soft divan
Just every bit as tightly

New York, Oct. 2S.-The stock ex-
change to-day opened with perfect
rush to buy stocks despite sudden
decrease OF nearly points in National
Cordage. This stock was unfavorably
affected by the report OF receivers which
was looked upon as disappointing
although the statement covered the
operations OF the company only up to
June 80 last. The stock afterwards
rallied to 27x and closed at 26}S. In
the general list the net advance for the
day was equal to H@2% per cent. St.

The dealings were we'll distributed

After the first hour the traders were
disposed to take profits and q reaction

ing the greatest loss, but the appear
ance Of the bank statement, with it's
enormous gain in reserves, was the
signal for fresh buying and the result
was 8 stronger, active closing. The
commission houses received buying
orders from out OF town buyers more
numerous than for long time, and
were greatly encouraged by the action
Of the market
The prospect of the immediate repeal
of the Sherman repeal law is, of course,
the underlying cause for the improve
ment and will dispose to discount the
event. While many Of the bears have
covered the outstanding short interest,
1t is still heavy. The bank statement
attracted much attention, showing as it
did that the receipts Of currency from
the interior during the week have been
far greater than anticipated. Total

MODERN COUNTRY ROAD.


Ties after they are passed. Let those
who would follow make their own way.
With increase of traffic comes use of
wheeled vehicles, and roads are widened
and smoothed as much as may be neces-
sary to allow passage when the condi-
tons of weather are favorable. This is
the evolution of the common wagonroa
AS population increased and traffic
grew roads improved in some countries
until, where wise forethought was COM
bined with great governing power, the
public highways centuries ago reached q
nearness to perfection never since sur
passed, perhaps never equaled, by any
people who had mono of the aid given to
modern mechanics by steam or explo-
sives, and it is not clear that any nation
which has such helps has ever surpassed
the roadmalSing of those ancients.
Growth of civil and of military power
brought need of broad highways over
which couriers could travel rapidly.
armies move quickly and the plumber of
conquered countries be transported cas-
lily to increase the power Of the conquer
ors and add to the wealth, comfort and
beauty OF their central strongholds-
home nests whence rapacious birds of
prey swooped upon their victims.
SUCH were the great roads Of Memphis,
and of Babylon, and of the Roman en-
pirc. Such was the evolution of the
wonderful highway system of that daunt-
less and wise nation of Americans who
four centuries and more ago had roads
which have never since been equaled in
extent or in workmanship by any others
IN ha Il
been surpassed by any of modern days.
Yet our need of such perfect high
ways IS incomparably greater than
theirs could have been. The aggregate
of the distances we have to move the
products of our farms, forests and fac
tories over wagon roads is vastly greater
than theirs was, and our climate and
soil make our need of well drained, bard
and SMOOTH roads greater than theirs
could have been.
The empire of the Incas had 10, 900, 900
inhabitants. In the United States are
more than 10000, 900 people justly proud
of their work in subduing the wilderness,
OF the progress they have made in art
and III science and even of the govern
ment they have, and they haul millions
of tons of bulky things to and from their
farms each year over roads that are
worse than those of any other great civ
ilized nation. They have more products
to move and farther to move them over
common roads than has any other ma
ton, and they pay in money, labor and
time an enormous toll-a premium on
gross incompetency in the management
of great public interest, trust in
which every member of this great fam
lily has life interest and direct concern.
And yet the Americans are rich and
enterprising people. They have been
quick to learn i'll other matters from the
experiences of other nations. Why,
then, should they not have at least as
good roads as those other nations have.

house gowns

In this connection it is permissible to
mention that one well-known dress de-
signer has come out with tea gown
which is as graceful and as clinging as il
1880 had never been called from the
housetops, and as trim and daintily
moulded to the form as if Empire had
not turned us all loose in short waisted
Mother Hubbards. 1t is made of enorm-
ously wide shaded soft wool goods, going
from white to almost chocolate brown.
The skirt is neither f1aring nor sheath,
but seems to hang as the softneas of the
goods and the pretty lines of the wearer
make it. A loose coat is worn, the skirts
in fronts coming to little above the
knees, and the edges being turned loose
ly back into soft lapel effects that widen
over the shoulders and for point in the
back. All this is as if the cloth itself did
it and the tailor only stood by to see ii
it had a chance. A wonderful train
seems to be continuation of the skirts
of the coat. Instead of falling away di.
rectly to the usual train. there are two
points, one at each eide, and then q long
one sweeps off, making the full length
of the train.
The whole effect is verv graceful and
is enhanced by the artistic use OF the
shading of the goods. The bodice seen
in front under the coat is slsshed to
show white muslin here and there, and
there is dainty glimpse OF it. The
sleeves are soft puffs Of the wool, fall
ing over muslin sleeves that are banded
around twice by guipure lace. The
edge of the skirt is finished with a
heavy guipure in points, and the edge
of the coat and train has a narrow fin
ish of the same. The whole thing is
indescribably graceful and youthful.
The herald., 1893-10-08

that is really suitable for such use. We
shall have cloth heavily ornamented
with satin, and the effect will be q good
one. Sleeves and revers, vests and
facings may be OF satin, even part OF
the skirt may be, but never the whole
dress for outdoor wear. ACCORDION
pleating is, and bids fair to remain, i'm
mensely popular. One modification,
makes the pleat wide at the top and
then tapers it to almost point. This
kind is not done much over here yet,
but is seen most on imported
dresses. 1t is used in blouses
and sleeves, the points of the
pleats narrowing to the wrists and th'
The herald., 1893-10-08

skirt of the other dress in the same
picture is without any trimming what
ever. The draped bodice is drawn in at
the waist by folded belt and the front
is ornamented with six rows OF marrow
red passementerie. The long cuffs to
the Recamier sleeves and the standing
collBr have the same ornamentation.
1t would, indeed, be difficult taste to
please which could not be satisfied with

rover than the prevalent mode. The
basque is in q modified Russian blouse
form and hooks on the shoulders and
side seams. 1t is fitted to the figure by
two long darts which reach to the bot
tom of the garment. The collar and
belt are made of jet passementerie and
large jet buttons are put down the CEN
ter Of the back, as if the dress closed
there.
The entire front of the dress in the
second picture is covered with a drapery
of black tulle strewn with drops of old
rose beads and kept in place by wide
ceinture of old rose satin ornamented
with beads. The bollar is enhanced in
the same way. For the rest, the dress
is simple, and any woman accustomed
to making her own garments can con-
struct it by following this model, and it
will look very pretty made in the less
expensive materials than those of the
original.
The license taken with all the colors
of the rainbow brings it's retribution to
us all whenever we take our walks
abroad. In Italy the women wear all
colors, the houses are painted all colors
and nature herself Is all colors, and
somehow there is nowhere lack of har-
mony. But when here girl in yell
low frock with green sleeves parades
with another maiden clad in eminence
purple combined with magenta. there
seems to be something the matter with
the public digestion. Somehow, we
can't seem to stand it. A girl cannot
look like lobster msyonnaise with let
tuce and appeal to us as a picturesque
part of the general scene, and when her
best friend gets herself up like a four
cordial pousse cafe, the time has come
for more laws or for more policemen to
enforce them.
