The effect of recent statutes in Eng.
land as to the right Of married women
to hold and convey property has been 9
subject of much discussion in English
law journals. The Justice of the Peace,
in an article on Female Trustees, - re-
views the legislation of recent years
and shows how one and another restrio
tion has been removed, SO that mar
ried woman can now act as trustee on
executor with almost as much freedom
as man can. Under the common law
the husband held the property and was
also liable for breaches of trust commit
ted by the wife, SO that there were grave
objections to allowing her to act as q
trustee. The present liberal acts re-
garding the property Of married women
allow woman to make contracts and
to hold trusts free from the control OF
her husband and without rendering
him liable for her acts If she should
prove dishonest. The British parliament
is in some respects conservative in deal
ing with property rights, but has taken
an advanced ground IN relation to the
rights of married women in the man
agement Of property independent Oh
control by the husband

The plain undraped skirt will be the
favorite this winter, as the overskirt
has not proved as popular as was expect
ed, there being very few modistes who
could manage the double arrangement
as gracefully as the less complicated
form. Flat folds and bands are used in
preference to f1uffier trimmings. but
what the skirt lacks in beruff1ed full
ness the bodice amply makes up in its
extra dressiness, as there is no ornamen-
tation missing SO far as that is concern
ed. The sleeves are not quite as large
as formerly. but make up for width IN
the matter of greater length, coming
over the knuckles frequently, and they
are therefore little larger at the wrists
than formerly. The double puff has
been introduced instead of the large
single one, and it is really a very pretty
style If managed well.-FashiOn Jour

today's session of the Socialist congress
the delegates adopted a motion to the
effect that the agrarian question is
necessary constituent of the socialists

solved by giving back the soil with the
means of labor to the producers now
cultivating the land as paid la6orers.
The next social congress will form
political programme in regard to land
