The Arblter of Fashion.

Worth was not a Frenchman, but a
native of Lincolnshire, in England, and
the son of solicitor. The father lost
his fortune by speculation, and at If
teen the son went to work, first In a
printing establishment and six months
later in the dry goods shop of Swan &
Edgar in London. There he staid for
five or six years, and then went to Paris,
where he entered the service of a fam
Gus silk house. While here Worth per-
suaded his employees to make up some
their materials and sell them in that
form. They began with cloaks, and 1856
Worth received a medal at a costume
exhibition for a cloak which he had de-
signed. His success emboldened him to
ask for partnership. This was refus-
ed, so in 1858 he set up an establishment,
in small way, at Rue de la Paix,
where he remained till he died When
he began he employed fifty hands; when
he died twelve hundred hands were at
work in the establishment, and during
each year from six to seven thousand
gowns, were made, and from three to
four thousand cloaks. This output
great though it was, did not represent
Worths whole influence on the fashion
Of the time For twenty years past the
leading modistes of Europe and America
have bought dresses from Worth to use
as models, therefore many OF his gowns
and cloaks we're reproduced with slight
notifications many times over.
He lived at Suresnes, near Paris, in a,
beautiful country seat, the rooms OF
which were furnished and upholstered
throughout from his own designs, even
the carpets having been specially made.
for him. Indeed, he was also the arehi-
tect of the house and landscape garden
er of the grounds. His hobby was the
collection of China, and it is thought
that he had one of the largest and most
valuable of such collections ever made.
AT this country place he entertained
his friends with an Oriental lavishness;
he threw off entirely the manner which
he reserved FOR his establishment in
Paris. There he was a most pronounced
Toseur, and his affections were extrava-
CANT almost to grotesqueness. At times
he was arbitrary, brusque, and even brut-
ally rude. But there was in all probabili-
ty a method in his manner, for through
it he secured his own way in everything
much more easily than he might have
done had his ways been those of gentle
ness, his manners those of courtesy. He
maintained that few women had sense
of fitness, and that therefore they need
ed to be bullied into approving what he
designed for them. Indeed, he has Of
ten said that half of his time was spent
in persuading his customers to abandon
what their own hearts were set on, and
to accept what he chose for them in
stead.

often that the church comes off even
as lightly as in the play now running
at the Comedy theatre. Here the au-
thor, being a new hand at his craft, has
been content to exhibit a lowering arch
deacon who is nothing more objectiona-
BILE than mildly platitudinous bore
Matters are considerably worse for "the
cloth in Mr.. Oscar Wilde's new trivial
comedy for serious people," which pos
sesses an incredibly imbecile rector-a
canon and D. d. to boot-who, being q
high churchman, is ready to re-christen,
without demur, everybody who asks
him, and, being celibate by convic-
tion, pairs off 1ncontinently with a mid
dle-aged governess. We do not need to
be reminded that all this, like the rest
of the play, is frank burlesque. But the
parson is entitled to reply that, so far
as the stage is concerned, he rarely gets
any other treatment than burlesque-
except, indeed, when he is made the vic
tim of more serious ill-usage.
Oddly enough, the stage clergyman of
to-day is considerably worse treated, as
rule, than his predecessor Of a less
sophisticated dramatic era. There was
a time, within the memory of good
many of us, when the parson of popular
drama could be almost Invariably re-
lied upon to comfort distressed heroes
and heroines with assurances of Provi-
Dental favor, and to employ his pro-
fessional eloquence in righteous denun-
citation of the schemes of momentarily
triumphant villany. Not seldom he
would appear as a representative of
muscular Christianity of the Kingsley
school, and bring down the house in an
ecstacy Of delight as he threw off his
clerical coat and proceeded to pummel
the villain with all the deadly science of
Tom Sayers. In those days the parson
was, as a general rule, a sympathetic
stage figure. Now he is sometimes a
self-seeking impostor, and much oftener
an arrant ass. AS for the unfortunate
curate, who is made to stand in the
modern theatrical pillory far more fire.
quently than his ecclesiastical superiors,
nothing seems to bad for him in the
opinion Of the latter-day dramatist.-3

Capes for Spring and Summer.
rFrom Harpers Bazar.


Capes have become absolutely neces-
sary as wraps over the full sleeves OF
fashionable dresses. Those to be worn
over spring and summer gowns are
quite short and very full. Some of the
newest models fall in full pleats only
in front and back, and are left open on
the sides, letting dress sleeves escape,
covering them merely with an immense
bow ON the shoulders with long ends OF
ribbon. Other new capes are cut in
many gored pieces that form godets all
around in set pleats. The more popular
choice, however, is the short circular
cape cut all in one piece, widening out
from the neck to fall in natural folds
that are very graceful godets. This
reaches nearly to the waist, but does
not usually conceal the belt line. There
are also still smaller collets, mere col
larettes indeed, reaching just over the
shoulder tips, and having long narrow
stolelike ends in front. And going to
the other extreme are the large golf
capes of heavy cloths that have now
become the fayorite wraps for travel
and for general wear.
For the intermediate season velvet is
the material chosen for capes, and in a
large Importation at Altman's there are
quite as many Of colored velvet as of the
standard black. Green is a favorite col
or for capes, as it goes well with many
other colors; and there are also brown,
violet and bluet capes, all trimmed with
black, either lace or chiffon in ruches and
accordion-pleated ruff1es, and with much
jet in points or in TROLLS patterns of
passementerie.
A thick ruche around the neck is all
most invariably seen, and may be of
satin ribbon, lace. or chiffon. White
lace is less used on velvet capes, but it
is not abandoned. Some brocades of
large unique patterns are also used for
colored capes of great richness, such as
are worn for driving and in the sum-
mer at Newport or Lenox.
The more general fancy is for simple
circular capes of black peau de sole
with jet embroidery about the shoulders
and plain on the lower edge A great
ruche of doubled black chiffon is around
the neck and the lining is of light silk,
either changeable or striped or checked.
A bow Of black satin ribbon with long
ends is in front and back
Box-cloth of the palest beige makes
pretty and simple capes for both spring
and summer wear. They are of the
short circular shapes, with many bands,
of the cloth stitched around them with
darker brown sewing-silk They have
a velvet collar turned over and edged
with cloth BAND Checked taffeta silk
bluet or lavender with white, is the lin
ing.

Parsons and PLAYS.

There is plenty Of work for the good
people who belong to the "guild"-still,
we believe, in existence-for promoting
| better relations between the pulpit and
the footlights. 1t is not enough for
them merely to commend the ballet to
| the sympathetic attention of the junior
clergy. That, though no doubt an es-
Unable object in itself, belongs only to
one side and possibly the easier side, of
their self-imposed mission. What is
more needed is an appeal to players, and
more especially to playrights, for miti-
cation of the despiteful usage to which
the parson of every variety is habitual-
ly subjected on the stage. 1t is true
that the church, in the, days gone by,
lost no opportunity Of making things
exceedingly unpleasant for the histrlon-
ic "rogues and vagabonds" who kept the
Thespian cart in motion. But the the
atre has since taken such an ample re-
venge that it is surely time for the once
irreconcilably hostile powers to cry
quits and conclude a treaty of peace
So far, it must be allowed that the signs
of q desire for more amicable relations
have proceeded almost exclusively from
the clerical camp.
Pulpit Nominations against the play
house are rarely heard in these days,
and the stage numbers an ever-increas-
ing body of clergy among it's well-wish-
ers and active supporters. Unfortun-
ately these signs of grace have not been
met in q corresponding spirit, and the
parson continues to be denied theatrical
justice as obsttnately as ever Though
of late years there has been a growing
tendency to introduce clerical charac-
ters into drama, comedy, and farce
the modern plays including among their
dramatis personae a clergyman deserv-
ing of admiration, or even of ordinary
respect, could be easily numbered upon
the fingers of one hand. The play
wrights rule in this matter is a very
simple one. If his play is comic, his
parson is a feeble, effeminate idiot. If
it is serious, the Roman collar and
NIB" waistcoat denote the presence of
a canting and meddlesome hypocrite, or
at best of an utterly worldly and UNI
schemer. Exceptions like
the delightful old father of MIR. Haddon
Chambers opium-eater in "John-a-
are so few and far between
that the parson has only too much reas-
on to regard himself as the most ill-used
of dramatic fiction, 1t is not
