BITS FROM EDMUND RUSSELL.

Beauty, not style, should be tho stand ard for dress.
 Do not own one inch of black, even in shoes. Have shoes to match your gowns. Black reduces the size, but also reduces power and influence.
 If women who have original and intel ligent ideas on dress would band in clubs of 30, they could cmancipatc themselves and dominate the drcssmakcrs, vslo now rule them.
 In environment as well as in dress be- ware of noncsscntials. \ cheap lace tidy on a $25 chair reduces the value of that chair to 10 cents. So noncssentials in dress minimize the personality.
 Beautiful events should bc honorcd by beautiful apparel. Street clothes should not be worn to social gatherings which promote culture. If we would pay as great ! tribute to art as to society, culture would become society.
 Study occasion as well garb. The commercial life of woman is pressing her into uniform of tailor made gowns and business dress which Is dcplorablc. Re captions and social functions are injured in beauty by such dressing. Treasure and use your bits of antique iewelry and fabrics. We should mourn the loss of the high typi, old time beautiful clothes, the old silks, satins, faces and or | uamcnts, which gaVc beauty and elegant personality to social assemblies.

 ically Wrecked.

ically Wrecked
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug IA pitiable sight was witnessed upon the arrival of the Red Star line steamer Illinois, Cap tain Ferguson, from Antwerp, when l2 Indians, comprising part of Pawnec Bills wild west show, stepped ashore. They bore but little semblance to the Indians who sailed from this port on April 25 for the Worlds fair at Antwerp. Gaunt looking. hollow eyed and some on crutch- es, they excited the pity of the crowds ot spectators that usually witness the arrival of an immigrant steamer.
 Their show at Antwerp had been Q fail- ure, and the climate had soon wrecked the constitutions of the Indians There were eight men, four squaws and one baby, which was strapped to the back of its mother. They left immediately for the reservation in South Dakota During the voyage one of the squaws named Walking Woman died and was buried at sea on July 27.
