Young girls in this country are al
ways very modestly and sensibly dress
ed. They are kept in the background
very much more than our girls. Some of
the styles worn by some young girls of
the best families here have been modelled
after one general design, and as have
had sight of these models transcribe
them. One was made of hairline stripe
blue and white. The skirt was cut
quite plain and was trimmed with
three ruches of pinked dark blue silk;
the bottom one set on plain and the
other two vandyked. The waist was
plainly gathered to belt of the same.
The sleeves were of the same material,
with folds and bows of blue ribbon
around the lower part. There was
yoke with ripple border of blue vel
vet. Another, for Sunday or holiday
wear, was of tufted cheviot In fawn
with brown tufts. Around the bottom
were three bands of velvet ribbon, two
of them ending in choux of the ribbon
and not quite meeting. The waist was
plain, but over it was simulated swiss
corselets of plated fawn surah. The
upper sleeves were of cheviot, with the
lower portion of ruffles of surah.
Brown velvet ribbon and choux were
placed over the shoulders and twice
around the bust, and the pointed belt
was also made of that ribbon. The
waist opens in the back, as does the
other. Another gown for festive occa-
sions was of printed cashmere, the fig
ure representing handful of fading
moss thrown upon gray ground.

COMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS.

But Isabella Proctor Says Men Are Rarely
Idiots.
The pride that a woman feels in the
triumph of any member of her own sex
is certainly justifiable one. 1t is pleas
ant to know that women are able to
hold up their end on the burden of en-
deavor in science, art, literature, me
chanics, business, even personal BRAY
cry, although physical cowardice is
with them a natural law by virtue OF
their small muscle and delicate limbs.
And when a man bumptiously or Gym
ically relegates women to a position "a
little better than his dog" spirited
sister may be excused if she cites few
examples in disproof of his theories.
Retaliation never convinces a man of
that stamp, however. since he is sure
TO lack those proverbially masculine
attributes, justice and logic. Such
men are not very common, for as rule
men are by no means idiots except III
few extremely minor matters.
But the habit of comparison too often
does not stop short at the limit of ar
gument, within the bounds of which it
is lawful aid. Finding it a weapon
ready to her hand, an overzealous
woman of not too powerful judgment
is apt TO WELD it when no battle Is wag
ing, and take an aggressive stand when
nobody is thinking of raising an issue.
General conversation under her influ
ence assumes a tone of hostility that is
almost personal or languishes into en-
barrasSed pauses. She does more harm
than good to the cause she champions
and renders it actively offensive to its
friends and foes alike by the very vaunt
ing and self assertion which she con-
dennis in men. Such course never yet
won any convert TO the standard. 1t Is
calculated rather TO arouse enmity than
to convince. 4 woman may be a stanch
believer in and upholder of her own
sex, without finging her gauntlet In
the face of every man she meets, not
waiting to find ont whether he is foe
or not. Boastfulness and unfavorable
comparison are quite likely to awaken
opposition where none previously ex-
listed, since we are all, men and women
alike, sharers in the vanities, foibles
and inconsistencies of human nature.
1t Is great mistake TO assume that
men and women are natural enemies.
either of whom can be exalted but at
the expense of the other. Sensible
women do not relish an immoderate
partisanship of their sex any better than
the men discountenanced by 1t do. If
we are really so much cleverer and
Drawer than men. it does not become MS
to continually boast over our weak
brethren. If we are below them III the
scale of creation, perpetual clamor OF
superiority only makes our lower posi-
ton more evident. If we are all human
beings on the same plane, about equal
ly endowed on the whole, let us ADMIT
it and respect ourselves and each other
without quarrellng over question Of
supremacy which does not exist.

sage was half lew, of black velvet and
gold lace, and there was a deep fringe
of gold bullion around the neck and
around the pointed corsage. With this
was worn n tiara of diamonds and ru-
bies and n necklace TO match. The
Countess Clary wore a gown of black
chantilly over lining of gold colored
moire, the corsage draped and held
by jeweled buttons. This lady is of the
famous old family who for so long
have all been the devoted followers OF
the ex-empress of France, going into
exile with her and bearing her sorrows
as If they were their own. Upon her
breast the young countess wore bunch
of Parma violets. These signified her
allegiance to the old days and Napo-
leonism, rather than adherence to the
republic. The Countess of Boisgelln
wore a satin gown embroidered with
silver in premier empire style. with
her arms bare to the shoulders save for
her long green Perinot gloves, which.
reached nearly to the shoulders. Over
these her wrists were weighted with
massive Russian bracelets nearly four
inches wide, set thickly with emeralds.
She wore a wide diamond and emerald
necklace and a tiara of the same pre-
cious stones. Her hair was tied In a
regular bowknot, with the bows stand
Ing upward, and a full curled bang IN
front. These are but few of the tot
lets seen at the opera, bat they have
political significance aside from their
beauty. Let Us hope that France and
Russia may always remain friends.
Leaving international questions aside,
l will mention few OF the lovely
things / have seen lately IN my pill
,rimage to the shrine of fashion. First,
TO you know at home that plain all over
,noire antique is to be great rogue

are tiaras containing all the colors that
can be found in the way OF jewels. and
she who has = necklace or other parure
Of large pearls wears them in honor of
the lovely empress OF Russia whose fav-
orite jewels they are. Cloth of gold
trains are added to regal velvet gowns
and cloth of silver IS as common as
brocade. There is no class In France
that does not do it's utmost to have
something Of Russian style about it,
We maysmile little, but after all it is
very natural under the circumstances.
The French are q people loving show
and display and theatrical effect TO the
verge OF folly. 1t pleases them just
now to think In Russian. So let them
since we are the gamers in a new COM
binstion of richness and grace in the
way OF apparel. The climate of Russia
requires very warm clothing and that
of France does not. so the matter is
compromised by giving the outward APP
pearance of the heaviest Of garments
while they are still quite light, though
sufficiently warm. Furs ON plush and
brocaded and matchless woods are all
the rage-not here and there n little,
as has been before, but wide bands and
rolls. deep cuffs and collars. Dear little
bonnets are made OF fur, have fur bows
or heads OF petits betes of some kind
or other. Naturally fox, seal and sable
are the most recherche, but fur is fur,
and TO be in style one most resemble a
great big hairy Russian.
The long velvet wraps of Russian
green are superb, and the hussar jack
debourgs, are stylish. These are made
OF heavy black, dark blue or Russian
green, and there are some styles of
women who look better in these than in
any other garment-for instance, those
with tan, Junolike figures. A small
woman looks simply ridiculous in one.
It Is rather early for the heavy furs in
France, but the Russian craze is respon-
sible for this hairy outbreak. 1t is said
that some ladies wear fur around the
tops of their stockings. I know they
do around their boots.
At the opera one sees the loveliest
gowns, and you may also be sure that
they are the newest styles. at the last
representation the pretty Marquise de
Nicoley wore yellow moire, striped
with black velvet In narrow lines. The
skirt was made with a demitrain Dor
dered with deep band of black Sibe-
rian fox. The elbow sleeves were double
pulled, the upper puff black velvet. the
lower, yellow velvet, with fall of SUI
perb lace. 1t was square in the neck,
with rich medicis collar studded
thickly with pearls. The Princess de
Broglie wore a black and gold costume
also, the back of rich black MORE and
the front OF gold brocade. The sleeves
were single dropping puffs. The cor

Death of Aunt Maria.

Reported for the Democratic Advocated

Aims House. died on Tuesday evening and
was buried on Wednesday afternoon. The
funeral took place in the hall Of the institu-
ton, and was one of the most pathetic scenes
ever enacted there. \
Encased in plain, but neat, coffin. lay the
body of AUNT Maria,' as she was affection
ately known and called by those who knew
her, peaceful smile on her face, and rose
bud elasped in her cold fingers. The top of
the coffin was covered with beautiful floral
tributes, placed there by young ladies Of
Westminster, who have visited and ministered
to her during her last days, and knowing her
love for flowers, gave her in death the sweet
blossoms she priced so highly in life. The
Stewards family, and as many of the inmates
as could be present, sat around the room, and
joined in the services. Rev. A. ID. Melvin
ofiiciated, assisted by Rev. William Grouse.

old lady. Rev. Mr.. Melvin made very touch
ing ana beautiful remarks from tne teAt'
'Inasmuch as We have done it unto the least
of these, in My name, ye have done it unto
Me;" and Rev Mr.. Grouse made a very APP
propriate and earnest prayer. But the pathos
of the scene was reached when the little pro-
cession moved to the burial place. Truly
can it be called the "Potter's Field, and
even that name seems inappropriate for the
briar patch, which is reserved rs burial
place for those unfortunates who die there.
So thick with briars and underbrush is the
little enclosure, that it was with difficulty the
lowly grave was reached, but as sweet voices
sang the hymn 'Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me,
and the words of the burial service were read
by Rev. Mr.. Melvin, it seemed that christian
ity could even reach this poor, neglected spot,
and rob death of some of its horrors. Gentle
hands placed the flowers on the grave, and
"Aunt Maria was left to the rest she has
been craving so long. But surely this Heaven
favored county can afford a decent burial
place for its poor We are christian COM
munity, and it is our right as well as our duty
to see that it is provided. We have a good
