There Is Method in the Madness of
the Woman Who Dresses We'll.

Among the numerous benign influences
surrounding the h)me life that OF dress Is
usually estimated as Of the least importance.
It is difficult to determine Just WAY such an
opinion should be entertained. since dress
enters more thoroughly into a woman's
calculations than any other OF the fine ar,s.
Pictures she can, II need be. dispense with (.
even music may he ranked among the unat-
tsinable luxurics OF life " the purse be
strGitened; but clothes no woman can neg
lect, And since a gown is sine qua non
OF her existence, why should she not devote
as much time and thought to It's designing
az she would to the selection OF a painting,
a piece of statuary. or any other work OF
art?
The thoughtful woman needs not to look
beyond her own environment for a mission
that will elevate and ennoble those within
reach Of her Influence. The triie old say
Ing. Charity begins at home" holds good
IN this instance; and before she begins to
recognize the world outside she will do we'll
to gladden. and beautlfy the sacred precincts
Of her own home. Most people have re-
allied at some time or other the restiulness
Of harmonious surroundings-wh In no
sense depends upon wealth or social position
and the same quality Is found In we'll
chosen gown, which Is In perfect accord
with the woman who wears t.. Cost Is q
| part OF the question which demands no
| consideration since the simplest and most
| inexpensive cotton may be and often Is more
| beautiful In It's ensemble than the richest
| silk. 1t is altogether a question OF appro.
| prlateness, Of taste and above all Of per-
! feet harmony.
To the captlous crit who recognizes but
| one feature Of woman's dress-and that IL
| least attractive one--lt may seem inc0ncelv.
able that there should be any more exalted
motive for 1t than the qualification OF per.
sonal vanity and pleasure. But the Idea
woman goes even further. She realizes L
the full the marvellous power OF beauty; sht
knows how even the lowest strata OF hu
manlty may be touched BY the lovelness Of
a aower-by the sweet Innocence and purity
OF a little child, and she utillzes thii
| knowledge In every walk in life and II
every phase OF Its varloue conditions. sucl
a woman - this has found the true woman'i
kingdom, ~, in the oft quoted words o
an ancient philosopher. her price is fa
| above rubies"

That there is fashion In lamps as in
everything else goes without saying. In
faris, where they are used altogether for
the purpose OF drawing room illumination,
the high pedestal lamp Is the variety most
In vogue. while the only globe tolerated is
OF the tulip form In yelned or coored glass.
Elaborate lamp shades. which few years
since were regarded only as luxuries, have
now become staple article OF trade, and
ngure among the most expensive OF imported
goods. As their cost places them beyond the
reach OF limited Income. many women have
exercised their ingenuity in manufacturing
shades for their own use, and have sue
ceeded even beyond their expectations, al
though the work can in no sense be consId-
cred easy. Not the least difficult part is
the covering OF the wire frame with thin,
soft silk. the fittings or plaiungs in which
must be previously arranged and secured In
place. The thread or silk used In sewing
must be very ane and the stitches small
while the trimmings must be entirely mn
lshed before they are put on. Neatness OF
execution and perfect symmetry Of form are
absolutely essential to the success Of the
work, as any urevenness OF application or
elumsiness of finish is uncompromlslngly
apparent when tie lamp Is lighted.

may not be considered out OF place. Cheap

Phillips Queer Act.

Yesterday afternoon Constable Taliesin
Phillips arrested and took before Justice
Lawlor an old Hebrew named Hyman
Koplan, who earns living by hauling
coal The charge the constable made was
cruelty to animals, but when the time
arrived for him to state his case it was
such fimsy one that the Justice dis
missed the complaint and put the costs,
amounting to about five dollars, on the
officer. In specifying his charges the
officer said Koplan hammered at the
horse's hoofs and pushed the animal
from one place to another. Koplan said
he hammered the hoof to remove the
caked snow from them and he pushed the
horse and wagon to help the animal haul
the load of coal.

Carter'S New Play.

The claim is made for Lincoln JS
Carter's new scenic play, "The Tornado"
that its realisms are of such an imposing
nature that even the pictorial matter used
in advertising the play do not do the
piece justice, that the scenes depicted by
the posters are actually so much more
impressive when seen, as Mr., Carter
presents them in his play, that one must
acknowledge that for once the printers
ink has not overdone things. This, Of
course, is a novelty in theatrical advertis-
ing. But he promised that there should
be nothing but novelties in"The Tornado ~
and Mr.. Carter has shown in the past
that he knows how to build astonishing
things for the stage, so we will wait and
see his new play at Ferguson's theatre
tomorrow evening, before we comment
further
