ment, as in house furnishing, there was
much similarity. There was a rule for
this, rule for that, and the dietum of a
grande dame, who was not then the rara
avis she has become in this generation,
was supreme The words lady and gentle
man had their digniied meaning, and still
belonged to the language of polite society,
and in the same way did the terms wife
and husband, with all their sacramental
meaning. High ideals were taught and
lived up to, and obligations and personal
honor were mans first consideration, his
fortune and his life secondary.
The dueling code had not been abol-
ished. Men held each other responsible
for all infractions of conduct unbecoming
a gentleman, and wives and daughters
regulated their conduct and speech accord
ingly, abstaining from the wanton slaugh-
ter of regulations now considered draw
ing-room amusement pour passer lie temps,
knowing the lives of those they held most
dear must atone.

land colored muslin collar pointed over
the shoulders, forming sort of draped re-

costume, for it is just what is wanted for
luncheons, garden parties, afternoon teas,
ETC., and as alpaca sheds the dust perfectly
it will meet with approval here.

was glad to see an article on this subject in
the Argonaut last week, for positively

never coniure up delightful remembrances.
Hooks and eyes are now made to match
the dress materials. Goffered satins with
wide stripes, in such mixtures as black and
white and black and yellow, green or
petunia, will be popular. Goffered satin is
also treated like crepon and pointed with
sparse, grass patterns, while some of
the silk crepes have gold spots and others
are printed in Oriental and Dolly Warden
designs. They find their way onto crepon
and striped pongee, interpreted with goff-
cred stripes in white and mauve or blue
and black. Printed grenadines on black
grounds are one or the most appropriate
designs yet shown this season for middle
aged matrons, and a new black striped
grenadine is interviewer with colored silk
at the back, which shows through
watered grenadine, treated in the same
way. MARcELLA.

have cast off all past relation to the old
order. A discussion of so comprehensive
a subject as manners, even in brief form,
is not attempted in this short paper; this
is merely backward glance at strong con-
trasts existing between the old days and
the new.
New York, in the late thirties, was a
very small city. The rich and well-to-do
citizens formed class by themselves; then
came small tradespeople, and after them
manual laborers. Families of birth and
distinction were known all about town by
sight and by name. The line between
them and their humble neighbors was very
kindly but firmly drawn. Each class re-
spected the other. The new rich element
was then unknown, and such large for
tunes as we are now familiar with were
simply impossible-had no existence. The
merchants of that period were men of
birth, social standing, family influence.
They controlled all the commerce at home
and abroad, built the finest and feetest
ships, and their money and energy gave
start to our canals, our railroads, and de-
veloped our country in every direction.
The men of entire leisure were remarkably
few. Bankers, lawyers, physicians, cler-
gymen were the sons or fathers of mer-
chants, the representative men of the day.
While the houses of wealthy New York
ers were kept up with becoming dignity
anu OIIelJlHleS WIFI elegance, C0eTe was
no such luxury dreamed of as has be-
come quite general in these days. Draw
ing-rooms were severe and simple, and re-
sembled each other like peas in pod, in
their mirrors, their mahogany and rose
wood carvings, their gaudy and large-how-
cred carpetings, crystal chandeliers, sconces
candelabras, girandoles. The distinguishing
feature of one house from another might
center in its rare old china, brought from
France, England, Holland or China; its
beautiful old Shereton or Chippendale fur
niture, brought over in the owners ships
most frequently. Wax candles and French
mechanical lamps burning rape-seed-oil,
furnished soft, mellow lights for home
evenings, dance or ball, and window illu-
limitations. Copies of old masters some
times adorned the walls where a family
had been abroad, but that was infrequent.
French maids and Wallets were, like the
pictures, scarce and of rare importation.
Men had instead their colored bodyser-
wants, women their colored maids and
children their turbaned nurses.
AS Miss Martineau wrote in her book,
published after her visit to America, good
manners were general, "the best l ever
saw" Criticizing evidences of ostenta-
ton in some families, she adds, with wise
discrimination: 1.-THE best sort of rich be-
come the Independent, thoroughbred

Grande Armee, Paris. Mr.. Worth came to
Paris as young man of 20, the son of
Lincolnshire solicitor, looking out for some
thing to do in the costume way he having
been with Swan e. Edgar in London for
seven years, and with the sincere deter
mination to carve out for himself an indie
pendent fortune. 1t is not true, as lie
Temps rather cruelty suggests, that the
youth was of so artistic a temperament
that he found England out of harmony
with his tastes and feelings, and naturally
gravitated to the one city of light and
beauty. Young Worth simply emigrated,
took the first situation in Paris that looked
promising Gt was with Gagelins) and
threw into his occupation all that Anglo
Saxon energy which in those days of lesser
competition with his own countrymen
would assure him ultimate success.
To be candid, he did indeed leave
England at desperately inartistic period.
1t was the days of high stocks for men,
poke bonnets for women and crooked-leg
furniture with horsehair. Nothing could
be more dreadful But young Mr.. Worth
needed these things not. He came to the
city where many of his countrymen have
since made their fortune at Just the right
epoch.
'Miss Flora McFGmsey of Madison
square" and all her friends, who found in
Broadway nothing good enough to wear
were coming over to Europe to learn how
to dress and going to Paris for the latest
fashions. Mr.. Worth saw all this and
knew where his fortune lay Soon after
he had learned his business he suggested
certain enterprising movements in ad-
vance to the house in which he was en-
ployed. They hesitated and eventually
declined to accept his suggestions, where
upon Mr.. Worth left their employ and
started business for himself in the very
same premises in the Rue de la Paix in
which the business is conducted to-day.
His life is contradiction to the axiom
that "small beginnings are the way to get
on" Mr.. Worth founded BUSINESS that
from its birth was able to compete with, if
not outshine, all his competitors At the
time of his death the house was sending
out 10000 costumes a year, and with every
prospect of more. His sons, NM. Jean
and CASTOR, have now the entire control of
the concern, though until very recently
Mr.. Worth superintendent all the details of
purchase.
In private life Mr.. Worth was almost a
recluse. He married early French lady,
settled down in small villa at Suresnes,
adjoining the railway station, and used the
daily train to go to his business. This
villa soon became too small He added to
it ground and thereon built additions
then more ground and more buildings.
He had reached from the main road to a
public footpath and progress was arrested.

read of new yachting coat of dark blue
cloth, outlined with a single line of gold
braid and a velvet collar, and this is to be
worn over q cream front draped with pale
yellow lace. Then there is a new shirt
of batiste with soft frills of valenciennes
and an enormous collar. Other styles are
shown in shirts which illustrate plainly
that those left over from last summer can
not be made to pass muster this season if
the wearer cares to be up to date. Shirts
in holland bound with white and having
soft fronts are excellent for country wear,
as are also others in plain white cambria
with stiff fronts and colored piping. The
fashion for fri.led fronts win not be suit
able on many occasions, and these
palmer and more business-like shirts
are shown, and the frills, if they
do appear, are very small and set

Worth has ever designed a cycling costume,
from the appearance of the French cyclist.
Speaking of the Maison Worth reminded
me that the newest outdoor garment so far
created comes from there. IT'S very lovely,
being composed of velvet cut to the figure
back and front having no fastenings, but
revres of white satin. The great novelty
consists in the sleeves being omitted, capes
very full being let in at the armholes in
place Of sleeves, giving room for the larg-
est sleeve. Last week 1 mentioned the
new sleeveless jacket, but as this is bet
ter design, for carriage wear especially, I
give it as Worth gave it his approval 1t
will certainly be much worn.

cloth of light weight, with pleats in the
center Of the back and on each shoulder.

The simplicity ofrepublicanism was looked

ARage ssWomen.

It seems scarcely possible that some of
the most fashionable women in Paris are
IN be seen almost daily on their bicycles
attired in full baggy boomers composed
not only OF cloth, but of velvet and even
brocade. The jackets end at the waist line
in front and have rather pretty basque-like
backs, but most appropriately elaborate
shirts and waistcoats appear beneath them.
As a rule skirts are not even thought of
bv the fair Parisenne in connection with
her wheel. She seemed naturally to take
TO breeches, and the only skirts seen after
the craze began reached to the knee. The
trousers are gathered or pleated full into
the waist and at the knee, showing silk
stockings to the top of the boot, and in
France CATERS are ignored altogether Not
only are thin graceful women seen in these
remarkable costumes, but large matronly
women seem perfectly content with their
appearance when so arrayed. Our English.
cousins, on the other hand, have
declined to give boomers even a con-
slderation, and Lady Margesson has just
invented and patented a new skirt which
Is said to have many good points, so L shall

safe, there is no possibility of its catching
on the pedals. When riding it has the
appearance of an ordinary neat skirt with
this great merit, that reaching to the top
OF the boot, when off, it is equally slightly,
so that the wearer could at once climb
mountains, play golf or put in an appear
ance at any country house without attract
ing attention, which she would certainly
do if arrayed in the French type Of cycling
dress. There are CATERS and knicker-
bockers to match.
The skirt was made with q distinct apron
piece back and front, but the novelty is
that the side breadths are distinct, and,
when riding, these are fastened around the
ankle and the aprons buttoned on either
side OF them, Of the machine they no
longer encircIe the leg, but, by an arrange
ment of buttons, make the skirt sufficiently
wide for walking. There is no danger of
the apron blowing up in the wind, as it is
buttoned down at the knee. With this
costume is worn a well-ftted, rather long
coat, with a waistcoat Of drab cloth in
contrasting shade. The tout ensemble is
very good. l have never admired boomers,
and skirts such as are now worn, when
cycling, are frequently the reverse of grace
full. Perhaps 1t is unnecessary to remark
that flower or feather-adorned chapeaux
are as much our of place on bicycle as a
crush collar Of chiffon, for a woman to be
in good form should be as suitably attired
