THE GOWN WINS ITS WAY
Judges Wear It Now Frequently
 and Students Love It.
somo Courts That Sit in Robes-we Have Net Many Just at Present, But They Are Constantly Growing
 in the Land.
COPYRIGHT. 1895.

As silently as falling snow, the gown has spread itself over American life. 1t has made it's way into every branch of intellectual activity. These sen tences may appear meaningless to the average man and woman. That only demonstrates the unobtrusive nature of a now alI-pervading phenomenon. On the bench, in the forum, on the cam pus, in the pulpit, the gown is every where. The judges of the courts in Philadelphia now all wear gowns and it is proposed to put the lawyers of that nest of great lawyers in the same dignifed garb. The supreme court of the United States, the court of appeals of New York and the supreme court of Pennsylvania are always seen in silken gowns. The practice is spreading. Every great college commencement is noteworthy because of the ubiquitous gown. Even the Presbyterian pulpit is not unadorned with it. Quite a fashion has come into being on the heels of the new custom. Quite an industry thrives upon it.
 There is no denying that there are various good reasons for the reign of the gown. Nothing is so difficult to deal with, as all seulptors agree, as the modern attire of civilized man. Our statues and monuments are melancholy evidences of this. It seems to be inn possible for man to pose with dig nifty in suit of clothes, or If he attains dignity it is not majesty. His trousers bag at the knee and his coat flaps like bats wings. On the bench the judge, with all respect be it said, looks insig-

They were walking together on one of the fashionable promenades. There were two children in front of them, so that it was not possible to see the lower part of their attire. Both wore short English top coats, box-shaped and double breasted, above which glistened a snowy shirt bosom with collar and necktie. Both wore derby hats over hair that was parted in the middle. One carried a cane, and the other? Well. the children turned aside at that mo- ment and revealed the fact that the other wore pettieoats.
 Up to this moment the couple looked like a pair of English dudes, out for a promenade on the boulevard, and one trembled to think what confusion might arise if boomers or "knickers" should finally gain the day, and go walking as well as pedalling about the streets.
 long time ago, when we "Grcek let ter girls were wont to give the fresh ies' sisterly instruction in the myster- ies of laneers and other fancy dances, we were in the habit of tying a ribbon or handkerchief on the sleeve of her who took the 'gentleman's part" in the dance. What if we should have to re- sort to such device in order to avert the confusion arising from a too gen. cral adoption of the bloomerl
 The tailor-made gown. however, in stead of contributing to bring about any such result, throws it's weight on the conservative side of the question: Its skirts are just as wide and have just as many godets as the fuffiest kind of fancy dress, and so long as the six yard skirt remains in favor, boomers will continue 10 take at least bicycle seat.

The dress materials this year are not of the smooth kind so dear to the lady's tailor, but that does not hurt the tail or's business even if it does grate upon his artistic feelings. He sets himself to work to devise a new fashion in his line of business. The rough goods makes up better in loose-ftting gowns than in the glovelike garments that are made of lady's cloth.
 A suit of boucle with box jacket has therefore been evolved as the cor rect street gown of the season. The box jacket may be little longer than the coats that do not match the dress, but the four large buttons at the corner are as fashionable on the jackets of suits as they are on the outside coats.
 For very handsome street dresses, to be worn without wraps, the smooth cloth is still preferred. The dull blue shade is favorite in this kind of ma terial, especially in combination with white. One of the illustrations shows a tailor gown of this description made of dull blue and white broadcloth, with buttons and mink fur as. trimming. The dress is cut prineesse style-a fla vorite with ladies' tailors-and is trimmed around the bottom with straps of white running up at different lengths, and finished with fancy but ton. There is mink collar around the neck, below which is large yol1elilSe collar of white broadeloth, trimmed with buttons and mink edges. Two strips of white outline the figure down the front, reaching seven or eight inches below the waist. X round dull blue hat with white band and black feathers completes costume that is decidedly striking.
 Another street dress that shows an attempt to introduce the basque is of light tan material, combined with brown velvet. The skirt is trimmed with strips of brown ribbon of vary ing iengths-a trimming which is very fashionable, by the way. The bodice, besides it's ripple basque, has a bolero of fancy embroidered material, with brown velvet front and sleeves A tan Alpine hat trimmed with loops of brown velvet is worn with this dress, nlso ecru gloves with brown stitching.

Speaking of gloves suggests the fact that there are some very important changes to be noted in handwear this season. The most fashionable glove is the one with two clasps-not buttons, for buttons are out of date, except on evening gloves. The clasps are the kind seen on mems gloves. Perhaps this is one of the marks of the new woman's progressiyeness. A glove that must be buttoned and sometimes involves masculine assistance is a sort of badge of dependence. Those large buttons were q step in the same direc- tion, and were convenient in many ways. I know of one young woman who cut the buttons off her worn-out glove and sewed them on her dress to replace some that had been lost.
 Gloves in two tints are correct. White gloves, as well as ecru and other light tints, have black stitching Black gloves are stitched with white or lav- cnder. There is a style of glove that is made up of two shades of kid. For in- stance, black glove has white kid be- tween the fingers with white stitching to match, or lavender kid with lavender stitching.
 Green gloves are fashionable, bright verdure green as well as the sage tint. A sort of reddish purple is also bidding for favor. But the light yellows and pearl grays are preferred before any tint. The stitching on the back is usu- ally very heavy. Women like heavy stitching because it makes 4he hand appear small.
 "The child is father to the man." So says an old proyerb, with reference to boys, but it really applies better to the other sex, especially in matters pertain ing to dress. Dress a small girl well and she becomes an incipient heart breaker whether she has natural bean- ty or not. She forms the habit of car rying her clothes well, without which no woman can hope to be attractive. Good clothes have their effect upon the character quite as much as good looks. Any pretty woman will tell you that she can walk better and talk better when she is well dressed.
 The pretty frocks and coats which can be bought cheap are an indication that customers have turned their atten- tion to the small girl.
 A very pretty red coat with broad rib- bon-trimmed collar can be bought for five dollars. Boucle coats trimmed with black Llama are also cheap.
 A blue and brown boucle coat with brown velvet trimmings and black Llama makes a pretty everyday wrap for a six-year-old miss.

A MonsTeR CHINESE BOOK.
The Largest One In the World is in ths
 British Museum.

The Chinese department of the Brit" ish museum library contains a slngls work which occupies no fewer than five thousand and twenty volumes This wonderful production of the Chr nese press was purchased few years ago for six thousand dollars, and IS one of only very small number of copies now in existence. It is an encyclo' nedia of the literature of China, cover ing a period of twenty-eight centuries from 1000 B. c. to 170o A. D.
 It owes it's origin to the literary pro c1ivities of the Emperor Kaug-he, wh, reipned from 1862 to 1722. In the course of his studies of the ancient lite erature of his country, Kang-he diseov. cred that extensive corruptions had been allowed to creep into modern editions, and he conceived the idea of having the text of the originals repro duced, and preserved in an authorita' five form. This was mighty concep tion, truly, and in its execution 1t re. mains unique down to the present time. For the purpose of carrying out the work Kang-he appointed B commission If learned men to select the writings to be reproduced and employed the Jesuit missionaries to cast copper types with which to execute the printing.
 The commission was occupied for forty years in its great task. Before the work was completed Kang-he died, but he had provided that his successor should see the book completed and he faithfully carried out his trust. The book is arranged in six divisions, each dealing with particular branch of knowledge. The divisions are thus de- signed. First, writings relating to the heavens; second, writings relating to the earth; third, writings relating to mankind; fourth, writings relating to inanimate nature; fifth, writings re. .ating to philosophy; sixth, writings celating to political economy

Par-cb idy a Joke.

One of Henry Clay's most formidable Kentucky opponents was John Pope, a one-armed man, for many years a mem Der of congress, and at enc time United States senator. He was once running against Mir. Clay in the Lexington dis. trict, and the contest was close and ex- citing. As election day approached, Mir. Clay heard that an Irishman in Lexing- ton, who has always been one of his SUD- porters, had announced his purpose to vote for MT. Pope. Mr. Clay went to see him, and inquired the reason. Faith, Mir.

nlf1cant in an every day suit of clothes. We may be democratic, but at the same time we ought to be impressive. Mod ern suits of clothes are admitted to be in bad taste on some occasions. In England all judges wear gowns and the legal profession has never discarded them.
 But not in many years have judges gone to the length of the Philadelphia bench. There are great many courts in the Quaker City, consequently great many judges. They all met in council recently and decided that be- ginning with this winter they would wear gowns. The gowns will be al- paca, and, although ample, constructed in simple principles, with wide sleeves and flowing folds. It is expected that all the other judges throughout Penn sylvania will follow this example. The Keystone state will then be alone in boasting a full-fedged gowned judi ciary.
 Now for the fashion in gowns. In reality they are robes, made flowing about the shoulders and wide in the sleeves. They are of silk and very ma jestic. Unfortunately few of the jus tices wear them very loosely. In fact, one or two of the members of that au- gust tribunal seem to be ashamed of their gowns. They literally "swipe" them to their bodies like sacks. The result is very undignifed composite of gown and coat and pantaloon. It might be good thing if the justices took lessons in the art of wearing their judicial ermine. It is to be presumed that the justices would not go abroad with their coats half off and their

Some of the finer coats are trimmed with white Thibet.
 All children's coats have broad col lars. Some of the French coats turn back all the way down the front with an inserted vest between. One of those in the illustration has plating around the edge of the broad collar that ex- tends down the front. Gimp loops att tached to fancy buttons fasten the coat in front.
 Another stylish coat is double-breast- ed, fastening with large buttons. Above the broad collar of the material is one of astrakhan, which also forms the cap.
 It is very simple matter to make a child's coat, and much money can be saved thereby. A very handsome piece of boucle can be purchased for $2.5o a yard, and one yard and half is suffi- cient for coat for three-year-old girl. With yard of Thibet at two dol lars yard, to trim the edge of the coll lar, such coat can be made very hand some for less than six dollars. It is not absolutely necessary to line them, as they are heavy enough without. The addition of silk lining of course in- ereases the expense, but even then the small girls coat need not cost ten dol lars. ALICE AMoRY.
