The morning news., 1894-09-30

ever, there are some women who dress
Wen occasionally one does meet a wo-
man VINO IN the morning is gowned in
tne simplest Of cloth frocks: who in the
AFTERNOON goes visiting in u dark silk or
NeIVeI ana who in the evening is fine and
gay IN bright cOlOrs and laces.
ana all the furbelows permitted es-
peclaIy 10 lovely woman. BY the by
Iur IS going TO be on everything. from the
pan 70 the dressing-go gown, from the street
ureSs 10 the opera wrap. Women ALWAYS
feel luxurious when they have ON furs
1ney caress one; they make the skin look
winter and the eyes brighter and clearer.
and, given a warm room wherein are
plenty of flowers and some sweet per-
fumes, the woman who comes in from the
cold wrapped IN furs suddenly feels a
sense OF great wealth, as she pulls the soft
warm wrappings about her even when
she does not need them.
ALADY IN FURs.
You remember Ouida always cloaks her
heroines in furs, which for a time they
uecIlne TO lay aside, giving the other
people where they are visiting an Oppor-
tunlty TO see themin the most picturesque
framing possible. The skins of animals
seem proper for women to wear. for one
can think OF brave lover going out to
hunt wild beasts that they may be laid at
the feet OF sweetheart to form a mantle
Tor her which will always remind her of
the bravery of one man. That is nice and
sentimental, but nowadays the bravery
usually consists in the man being willing
to pay the bill after madame has chosen
what she desires to possess in furs
Every woman wants sableS, but un-
fortunately every woman doesn't get
! them. The black fox is probably the most
! becoming Of fur; that is, when it is in
combination with sealskin. An excep-
tlonally beautiful woman can wear the
peculiar coOred fur that is known as blue
fox, and which shades between blue and
a gray. remember seeing Mrs. Langtry
wear blue brOcade cloak lined through
out with chinchilla and trimmed with
blue fox, and in it she looked like an en-
press. BY absolute force of beauty, in
imperial robes, she seemed something
almost too beautiful to belong to tins
earth unless she occupied a throne and
commanded it.
DIGNITY AND GRACE.
How many women look that way2 How
many women do you know that look dig
nited without appearing stiff? There are
very few, my friend The average woman
who wishes to look dignifed appears as il
she had swallowed a poker. or, as my old
nanny used to say, speaking of a stiff
old matron, as if she had taken an extra
/ dose of ramrod tea" =" Dignity is a
something that comes with years and
/ experiences; it cannot be assumed. 1t
/ is restful and has a peculiar charm of its
/ own.
| Two dignified women. as unlike as pos
sible, are the happy Queen of England
and the unhappy Empress of France
and yet they are so different. One tiny
and so fat she can scarely walk yet
all who approach her, or even see her on
/ the street, are conscious that she is q
woman of dignity, ana that while she is
/ kind and thoughtful and has been q
good mother, yet is beyond frivolity, with

sort of dignity The other, tall, slender
sad in her morning robes, breathes the
1 same spirit. The youngest soldier rep
