Pretty Londo on Gown.

Some of the gowns which American women
have brought back this fall from London are
decidedly fetching. and in point of fit, finish
and style seem almost perfection, with the
added merit of reasonabeness in price. A
recent production of Nine. Brown, a London
court dressmaker, which came over with a
returning tourist, is of the fine ladies cloth,
so much worn this fall, and is of the new
shade called "brun pain, which, combined
with bottle-green silk, gives it a charming eff
feet. The skirt is quite plain and very full.
The bodice Is made with two full folds of the
green silk, going over the shoulders, back
and front and ending at the waist. Lapels of
green velvet. fastened with cut steel buttons,
relieve the front, and crush collar of velvet
and simple twist of the same at the waist
complete this simple but most effective COS
tune.

noon at Albaugh's Opera House The music
is by Rufus C. Garland and the 'libretto by
Taylor Grimes. 1t was conducted by Mr.
Rufus C. Garland
The lbretto is interspersed with some good
gags" the story being one of the many
built upon scenes and incidents of the wild
West. Mr.. Garland has talent far above the
ordinary, and has done some good original
wark in this composition.
The soprano, Miss A Mae Rogers, Rose
Gorden, has some quite pretty solos, "A
Lonely Life - 1.-The Mystic Spell, >" and 30.
Love, How Happy I Am, - this last air being
combined in duet between Rose Gorden
and Harold, Mr.. Will Mooney. Miss Rogers
sang all through the opera with the voice and
action of an artist. "a Mighty Chief, by
Si-Lootah, Mr. James Watson. Is also
melodious number, and was excellently sung.
Si-Lootah and Laughing Eyes, Miss Alice
Judson sing the most harmonious duet in the
score. 70. Come" Harold's 'Serenade," :"
contains good music.
Mr.. George O'CoDnor sang the king Of
the Chappies'' well, and Mr.. Frank Renstock,

Too Many Servants.

Inapaperr read before the Columbian House
keepers, at Chicago, the point was well taken
by its writer that the fewer the servants with
which an establishment can be managed the
less the friction. where the household is
small and the means limited, it was recon-
mended that no servant be employed, a por-
ton of the money that would be spent for
wages to beinvested in labor-saving machines
and appliances. These. it was asserted, and
the assertion was fortified in a convincing
way, would give better results both IN com
fort and economy than the one maid with
sharp curtailment of expenditure at every
turn. For the family OF average size and in
come one servant is much better than two,
the additional service needed to be supplied
by temporary outside assistance"

Tn Fear

Enoch Arden, after an absence of forty
years, approached his humble cottage from
the rear, but the most casual observer could
not fail to notice that Enoch's suspenders
were fastened with shingle nails. and that
there was dearth OF womans care through
out his makeup.
''Ah!'' he sighed, as he faltered on the back
doorstep.
He raised his hand as If to knock, hesitated,
covered his face and shrank away.
81 dare notr' he exclaimed.
He had suddenly reflected that he had for
COTTON to buy saleratus, as she directed upon
the occasion OF his departure long ago.

This is perfectly true-tritely so-but what
is the use of saying it? The majority of
women do not oyerWork nor oyerWorry from
choice. Anxieties, being forced upon them,
must be thought of. while the husband and
family are the ones for whose sake the house
keeper wears herself out in the kitchen, and
are the ones who complain at any falling off
in the variety of the bill of fare. A woman
catering for herself alone never yet afforded
an awful example OF abnormal devotion TO
the cooking stove. The sacrifice by fire is
forced upon the housekeeper by her position,
and if is hardly fair TO assume that she labors
from sheer willfulness.

who remain in the conventional woman g

perivation OF "Grass widow

The phrase grass widow" or, rather,
"grace widow for the first has no founda-
ton in fact, is simply barbarism or fungus
which has attached itself TO the English Ian
guage Grace widow" is a term for one
who becomes a widow by grace or favor, not
of necessity, as by death, and dsoriginated in
the earlier ages of European civilization,
when divorces were granted but seldom and
wholly by authority OF the Catholic Church.
When such decree was granted TO woman
the papal rescript stated "Yiduca de gra-
tia. which interpreted is widow of grace.
In the law ofthe French it would read: 'Yeuve
de grace, which in England gives widow of
grace" or "grace widow" "veuye" being
translated as widow" In this novel
and exceedingly interesting paper Judge
Turpie also makes again public two
important historical facts. That the
whole system Of law in relation TO mar
riage and divorce originated in the Ro-
man church. and that French was the official
language and court vernacular. not only in
England but OF western Europe, during this
period of ecclesiastical ascendency.-Indian ian

small individually, but killing in the aggre-
gate. 1t is like being stung to death by gnats,
yet each separate gnat is despicably little. A
heavy misfortune. such as wins the sympathy
of the world, may be borne with dignity and
at last lived down without marking the face
with careworn lines or shatterng the nerves.
1t is the innumerable petty trials, experienced
daily for year after year, that grind away
youth, beauty, bright wits, and health, and
no amount of sermonizing to the victim will
do'away with this state of things.
Fortunately the are many women who
have leisure to be beautiful and fashionable.
To-day's sketch shows a gown for one of this
favored class. 1t is of dull heliotrope benga-
limo. The bell skirt has a wide band of cara
cul around the loot. The round. double
breasted corsage is entirely OF fur and is
fastened by four large steel buttons. The
balloon sleeve of bengaline has a long tight
cuff ana a deep fur epaulet. Wide black
satin ribbon forms the girdle.

THE OLD, OLD STORY
Told Over and Oyer by New People,

Judge James II. Lane, well-known JUS
tice OF the Peace, residing at Arlington.
Alexandria county, Va, in long statement.
subscribed and sworn to before III. A. Ballen-
ger notary public, says he suffered for years
from aggravated constipation, partial paraly-
sis of the bowels and nervous debility result
ing from past follies and excesses His
nervous system was shattered. and his mem
ory failing. Dr. Walker restored him to-
strong, vigorous manhood and perfect
health.
Mr.. John L. Brewer says: 'I have suf-
fered from aggravated constipation, piles and
kidney trouble for several years unable to OBJ
tain relief. friend persuaded me to place
myself in DR.. Walkers hands; his treatment
has been wonderful; from the very first day
my improvement has been steady and con-
tinuous. My home is in Milesburg, Center
county, Pa, but am at present residing at
q e street northwest"
Another sufferer from nervous debility, Mr..
J. B. Cation, resident OF Congress Heights
who has been an employee of the st. Elizabeth
|. Insane Asylum for the past year, makes a
sworn statement before Henry Stewart, jr.
notary public, that he suffered for three years
from nervous debility; his entire nervous
system was unstrung, and he felt constantly
blue and wretched his memory was rapidly
failing. he would wake more tired than when
he went to bed. Many doctors failed to help
him, but DIR. Walker cured him.

Anold lady walking in st. James Park the
other day saw boy throwing lot of bread
into the water. Struck with the boys action
she went up to him and said:
Why are you throwing all that bread to the
pretty ducks, M boy?"
"Cos my Sunday-school teacher always
told me if you cast your bread upon the
waters it'll return to you after many days"
''And do you think your bread will come
back to you?''

ITyS ENGLISH.

We are not of those who think that n man in this country should roll up the legs of his trousers when 1t rains in London, but there are things which are English that are we'll worth imita- ton here. For instance the English are dealing successfully with that exasper- ating abomination, the theater hat London theater managers now provide cloak rooms, where women can remove their hats and leave them in safety, properly checked. The word has gone around that 1t Is bad form for woman to be seen in theater with a hat on, and that no woman who Is not n per son" will be so seen. So the women take their hats off and those who sit behind them rejoice. It Is said that the new deal has the hearty approval of the Prince of Wales.
 The women of this country may well adopt this new English fashion, for 1t is fair one. It Is also conducive to good manners and good morals, which is more than can be said of some Eng fish fashions.

deep box pleats on either side. Aroun

deep box p1eats on either side Around the waist comes a loose sash of the silk. and the sleeves have short puffs.
 According to the fashions coming In for the late fall and winter pair Of sleeves seems to be all that Is needed to represent a whole bodice. The gener- ous folds of the puffs are drawn over on to the front of the bodice and caught under rosette or a big bow without ends. It takes a skillful dressmaker to do this without bagginess, but when well done 1t Is most graceful, the folds falling in curved lines over the bust. One of the prettiest bodices of this pat tern has enormous gigot sleeves of silk, and gathered epaulette of tulle Is set right on the top of the armhole of the shoulder. The fastening here is fin ished by buckle of rosette. The full ness of the epaulette at the lower edge is then drawn in prettily draped lines, the front corners fastening on the breast, the back ones at the shoulder line in the back. The effect is as pretty as can be.
 For the very pretty foot there comes a low shoe that laces up on the inside of the foot and the result is fit like a glove. But, to tell the truth, the average foot would not be pretty if its shoe fitted like glove, and most women are glad of the facing up the front, because by means of 1t the rise of the instep can be favored a little.
