ITALIAN MARIoNETTEs.

The first modern Italian writer who al
ludes to the public performances of mari
onettes is the learned DIR. Jerome Cardan,
who was born at Pava in 1901. He speaks
with positive enthusiasm of the perfec-
ton to which the art Of working the lit
tie figures had then been brought; how,
by the pulling of single string, they
could be made to play, fight. hunt dance,
blow trumpets and cook "very artistic
ally" Judging from sixteenth century
pictures and descriptions, the popular
puppet shows of those days differed but
little from the performances that may be
witnessed on the piazza OF any Italian
city in our own time.
There was the little portable stage, or
castelletto, on which the burattini of
Florence and Rome and the fantoccini OF
Naples played their mimic parts. The
latter city was the birthplace of the hero
of the modern street drama. "Pulcinella,"
so named. it is said, from the hen chick
en- whose cry his voice is supposed to
resemble. The Neapolitan Pulcinella was
by. no means such monster of iniquity
as our English Punch. He seems to have
been nothing worse than a pleasure-lov-
ing, quick-witted. irresponsible scamp of
the ''nobody's enemy but his own" type.

SHE SAID SHE WAS UGLY.


Madame was a living example Of
the old proverb about calling a spade
a spade, as she fairly reveled in scan

sufficiently remarkable proof of the
depth of her attachment that she was
never known to utter depreciatory
remark about her aunt.

lAIalckenaer. Quite as outspoken
about herself as about any one else,
she candidly acknowledges her want
of beauty. In her utter carelessness
as to her personal appearance, she
probably contrasted as sharply with
her contemporaries as she did in her
embarrassing habit of stating with
startling direotness the truth and the
whole truth on every subject and &C.

little over year ago-June 2s 1854
President Cleveland approved an act Of
Congress making the first Monday in Sep
TENDER of every year legal holiday In
the District of Columbia. Previous to this
time the day had been celebrated here
with much ceremony by the laboring men
and had already become known by the now
familiar term of Labor day. 1t needed
only national recognition to make 1t one
of the most important holidays of the year.
Today the second celebration Of the day
in the District as a legal holiday took
place, and it was marked by parade of
the various organizations affiliated In the
common cause and upholding the dignity
of labor that will be memorable to those
who participated as well as those who study
the lessons it will teach from the stand
point of observers.
The origin of Labor day is Interesting.
September 5, 1882 the various labor organf-
cations of New York city and vicinity pa

were made. At that time the Knights OF

In preparing an article chronicling the

and recognition to which organizations of

of which am much indebted to an older

and who is probably the only person COM
petent to have given the statements with SO
much precision.
While the order of the Knights Of Labor

to each other in their trades and pecuniary
interests generally, they stand united also
for the betterment of the municipality and

Hints of the Demi-SeasOn.

The styles worn in autumn gowns are
those of the late summer. Novelties ap-
pear in winter. when they are required for
evening dresses calling costumes and the
various elaborate functions Of life in large
cities.
The first dresses of warmer stuffs will
have double-breasted waists, basques, or
Jackets, worn with inside plastrons of rich
material and color. Blouse fronts and box
pleats will not be abandoned. The dropping
blouse effect is so generally liked for the
round waists of summer that it has spread
to summer Jackets as well, which are now
made slightly loose and belted to droop.
much in the fashion of the belted basque
Of long ago There are two ways of cutting
these jackets, one with open front, the belt
passing under it from the sides and dfscios-
Ing a blouse front of silk beneath. The
other plan laps the fronts, making them
double breasted, and letting them droop
slightly at the belt lire, where they are
fastened by four buttons, two in row,
and these are usually snowy buttons Of cut
steel or miniatures, or of the dress material
framed in a ring of gilt OF silver.

Sleeves and Skirts.
From Harper's Bazaar.

Paris dressmakers are concerning them
selves principally with the sleeves and
skirts of the future. The large sleeve will
die hard, and In Paris they suggest, instead
of a single balloon pun, a series of puffs-
four, five or siX-placed at slight distances
apart around a tightly fitted sleeve. This
is in the nature Of a compromise. as the
upper puff is around the armhole and gives
the broad effect now in favor The Parish
enne who adopts Marie Antonette styles
accepts the ciose-topped sleeve with
small puff at the elbow and flowing ruffie
around the wrist. But in all the Louis XVI
gowns Worth sends to this country he uses
the puffed sleeve of today, but in nodera-
ton, that the anachronism may not be too
conspicuous. Redfern predicts a return to
the early Victorian styles, with long
shoulder seams as their notable feature.
These seams are well enough for those who
have prettily turned shoulders. but the
large sleeves with shorter seams above
them hide the lack of this beauty and are
becoming to all.
The full skirt will continue another sea-
son, but with variations. Tabsr breadths,
panels and fiounces are talked of instead
of the plain skirt now In favor. Fl0Unccs
are seldom liked for heavy fabrics, but the
front breadth of a contra sting material
breaks up the monotony of a plain skirt,
and has the fun Their advantage OF Offering
a good plan for Increasing the width Of
skirt left over from a previous season. The
new STYLES promise to bring combinations
of two or three materials for one dress into
use, and such plans make for economy.
