and he talked. The dusk began to grow
through the windows, and finally he
said:
Suppose you stay to dinner. There
is no one here except Mrs Cleveland and
me, and we car discuss these matters
afterward.'
Il excused myself upon the ground
that had made an engagement to dine
with some constituents, and then take

The new married woman's law passed
by the late legislature of Pennsylvania
is deserving of the attention of all hav-
ing business with that class of persons.
1t was passed to meet decisions of the
courts, which, pursuing their usual Gus
tom of very strict constructions on that
subject, had largely naturaliZed the ap-
parent intent of previous legislation, as
well as to meet the demand for larger
freedom over their estates by married
women, says the Pittsburg Times.
The act provides that married woman
may have the same right and power as
an unmarried person to acquire, use,
lease and dispose of property, but she
may not mortgage or convey her real es-
tate unless her husband joins. She may
also make any contract in writing or
otherwise which is necessary. apDropri-

or surety for another. She may sue and
be sued civilly, but she may not sue her
husband except for divorce or to protect
or recover her separate property when
deserted or refused support, and he may
sue her for divorce or to protect or re-
cover his property when deserted by her,
but she shall not be arrested for her

wife both shall be competent witnesses.

communications unless by agreement.
She may dispose by will of all her prop

act Of June g. 1887. and all other incon-
sistent acts are repealed by this act,
which was approved June s, 1893.

always and forever making a mess, and
when it comes to fashions in feminine
apparel England is particularly in
felicitous. Our pretty, tasteful fashions
all come from Paris.
White stockings have never gone out
in Germany; tabooed elsewhere, they
have continued In favor with the aver
age Teuton frau. And in England the
older ladies have continued to wear
white cotton hosiery. II is well known,
we think that Mrs Gladstone has never
incased her neither limbs in any but
white stockings.
But the white stocking is a horror
an offense unmtigated and not to be
palliated. Let England decree or do
what she pleases, she cannot win or
drive us back to the ridiculous old
heresy, the absurd abomination of white
hosiery.
The one article of feminine dress in
which mans taste is properly deemed
infallible is the hosiery, and in America
mankind is a unit against the white
stocking.
