Street Dresses.
From Harper's Bazar.l

Rough-surfaced stuffs of mixed col ors rival plain smooth cloths in the street gowns imported for autumn and winter. Boucle cloths have soft curly loops of black mohair as glossy as silk on loosely woven grounds of bluet, dark red, green or brown. Zibeline and fleecy camers hair have tufts of rose or cerise on checks of two shades of brown or gray, or else light blue on black and green bloeks. Coarse bourette threads are effective on plaids and stripes Of darker shades. Blue and brown are loosely woven in basket squares and. fecked with tan color. The trimming forsthese stuffs is velvet, sometines.of, the prevailing color but more Often of the color least used in the fabric, thus accentuating the con- trHst.@
 Ladies cloth. with smooth, glossy sur face comes in very striking colors, the new b1uet, cerise, and other purplish reds, and bright green among them, which are Often made more showy still by a contrasting color being used for the velvet collar. Thus a, sage-green cloth dress has a collar of mauve vel vet, one of tan cloth has a bluet collar, and a cerise cloth is also topped off with bluet velvet. Sleek mirror velvet is. preferred for these collars, which are cut bias, in stocklike folds, and are much trimmed on the sides with ros- cites or punches of box pleats. or else swallow bows with pointed winglike loops that reach up to the ears.
 Chiffon takes a new lease of favor and, incongruous as it may seem, trims cloth gowns.
 Those who like quiet colors will ad- mire a gown of black cloth with a skirt bordered with gray chinchilla fur an inch wide on the pelt. The full round waist has a yoke of pale gray satin, shallow and straight across front and

A Brahmin's Daughter Must Marry Very
 Early or Her Reputation snners.r
 -. From the Forum.]
 The Brahmin has to get his daughter married before she attains puberty. This custom has crept into religion. The Hindoo religion strictly forbids single life for woman or man; ,espec- ially must the woman be married. Hence there are no old maids in India. Sometimes one may meet an old cranky" bachelor, who has remained unmarried because he was too poor to marry, or because his character was not good; but even these are seldom found except in the lower classes. If man is not married at the latest by his twenty-ffth, year his reputation suf- fers. It is a belief that those. who have son go to heaven, when the som after the death of his parents. performs the spiritual rites. However this may be, whether they go to heaven or not tnia severe rule tends to strict cultivation of home life. ,.s@s5 ..

AS MIR. TELANG SEES THEM.

PuruSnOtam RaO Ielang Is & philoso- pher who lives in Bombay, India, when he is at home. He is at home now, but he has been travelling in the United States for g. year or so, and while here he kept his eyes wide open. He saw much, and, like most foreigners who travel in this country, was deeply i'm pressed by the women. His impress sions,. however, do not appear to have been as favorable as the impressions of some travellers. For instance, he mo- ticed that the American woman Hacks the mild and delicately sweet look that even the commonest Hindu woman has," "Of the average woman I have met during the year in the United States" he says: "She seems to be | 'manified.' She falls in love-at least she supposes she does-with & young man who takes her to the theater and whom she finds possessing means enough to buy her dresses of the newest style, and she marries him. When they love and court they have a good time Why good? Because 1t is the best time in their lives; for love some. times ceases after marriage" Purusho. tam Rao Telang was apparently close observer of the toilets of the ladies whose acquaintance he made: "She wears in her bonnet flowers, feathers dead birds, sea-weeds, moss, horns thorns. big needles; and in her dress pins, hooks, ties, iron and brass bars clips, stitches and what not; and or her bosom have seen her wear a liv ing lizard, fastened with a thin chain Her waist Is laced tight by a corset which makes her pant for breath Thus equipped she sallies forth to make conQuests of young mems hearts," IT contrastswith the admirable Indian GUS tom of .piedging girls in marriage in ex treme youth, MT. Telang, more blunt, than elegantly. sums up the whole mat ter: "The presence of so many olc maids and bachelors, each disliking tn, other-these things force me to thinl none too well of western methods o bringing up girls"
 Purushotam Rac Telang had to ad init that the widows of this countr; are better of than the widows of In dia. The former can remarry, whil the latter cannot But on the whol he seems to think that Indian wome

 There is weekly auction of linen goods in Belfast at which nothing is ever sold. About two hundred years age there were two halls for selling linen ir Belfast, the White Linen Hall and the Brown Linen Hall. In the former al bleached linen was sold, while the lat tor was exclusively reserved for thu .a,e of brown or unbleached goods Nearly a century ago linen manu +octurer in Belfast endowed the latte institution, and the deed of endowmen contained clause to the effect that ! market should be held in the hall ever Friday. Linen, however, began to b disposed of in other ways, and the hall &vare no longer useful. The White Lin en Hall was made into public offices hut the Brown Linen Hall still remain
 
 to fulfill its original functions. Ever Friday morning MT. McNicholl. an ol man, opens the doors, takes his stan in the middle of the hall and puts single bale of unbleached linen up t auction. It is always the same old mal and the same old bale. Nobody eve comes to buy 1t because few people ar aware of this remarkable custom.
