Only two feminine virtues came to be re-
garded as important, viz: chastity and
piety. and as far as the Germans are con.
cerned there is no Disgusting the fact that
beyond this point they have never since
advanced. The Emperor William ii Gf

liberal enough to recognize third virtue,
viz. skill IN COOKING. Woman's sphere, he
said recently, is bounded by the three

kitchen, nursery. It did not trouble him
to consider how untrue he was to the best
German tradition in making this foolish
declaration. What kind of women can
you expect to foster in the mingled fumes
of nursery, church and kitchen? Simple,
devout creatures, no doubt pious, higher
domestics, who will bear children meekly
and be profoundly at tn, service of their
lords and masters. Itwould be the widest
folly to expec: any free and noble Towering
of soul thus narrowly circumscribed, and
it is small blame to the victims OF such
system if they fail to exhibit the qualities
which we have for 700 years been at pains
to suppress in them. 1t is against the
worn-out ideals of the age of chivalry that
the women are now beginning to re-
volt and although l am esthetically
shocked at their rebellion, my in
telligence justiies and approves IL. Let
them reconguer the right to be physicians,
surgeons, priestesses, and, if they like,
prophetesses, all of which they were dur
ing pagan times. Let them emerge from
their historical swaddling-clothes and
move their limbs and their souls with
happy freedom and grace. am aware, of
course, that to limited extent they have
already reconquered these ancient priyi-
leges, but the few daring pioneers enjoy
but chary recognition on the part of So
ciety at large, and for this very reason they
have been apt to develop their pugnacity
at the expense of their charm. Such
would not be the case if they felt them
selves to be normal and natural phenomena
as their colleagues of the masculine gender.

We have all heard so much about the
new Duchess, her trousseau, etc., that
really nothing new could be written, but
after hearing and reading that her we'd

ing, was from Paris direct, l was pleased to
learn that that very successful and skillful
woman, Mrs Donovan, one of New Yorks
best dressmakers, really made the young
brides wedding gown, although the de-
sign was from Doucet, and another point
worthy of remark, as a change from a
usual fashion, was the wearing of short
white gloves.

All the girls wore during the summer

came so greatly attached to them that our

cuffs OF satin and velvet. A yoke of white
satin, covered with very open black lace

white, the upper of black lace, and deep
cuffs to match. will make even a compar-
atively old black gown exceedingly pretty
and becoming. If girl is clever with her
needle she can make any number Of such
| dainty things. A remark made in connec-
ton with colored satin yokes is worth re-
mem bering, and that is that in such cases
only black lace should be used for the frills.

the thing even. AS public we are the
most ong-suffering and the most amiable
of any in the world. Neither the English
nor the French people would endure this,
especially when it is realized that the
means are to an end that is perfectly
frlghtful. If good, smooth pavements re-
suited after all this digging up nobody
would mind: but our pavements are worse
than country roads and rougher-well,
rougher than the men | saw in q political
procession the other night. Why can tive
have wooden pavement? Because it
costs great deal, and the people who have
charge of the pavements are quite willing
that the public should be uncomfortable,
provided their salaries are large. So they
placidly announce that wooden pavements
won't stand much traffic, and forget that
the traffic in London is q little larger
than it is here. Oh, New York is small
and provincial-and-and yet, with all it's
faults, etc., etc.
By the by, it is rather amusing, at the
time of the Vanderbilt wedding, to read
that the English presents would not come
here because of the duty on them. Eng
lish wedding presents are, without excep-
ton, the best things to buy i'll the whole
wide world. To give-not to receive.
Here, when we give present we i'm
poverish ourselves, or else steal, to pay
for it, but the present is fine one. How
ever, if You pick up an English news
paper and read the account of very
smart wedding you will discover after
the description of the bridal gown list
of presents, and it will read something
like this: 'The Duke and Duchess of
Mean-to-Live and the five Ladies Guy,
silver button-hook; the Earl and Count
ess of How Come You-So, photograph

Starvation a silk blotter; the Marquis

grandmother. the Countess of Fuss-and-
Feathers; the Hon. Mr.. Heartstone sent
one of his own books, with most charm
ing inscription. while our dear Queen, who
Is always so generous, gave the blushing
bride q cashmere shawl" Of course we
go to one extreme and they go to the
other, but outside of family jewels and the
really magnificent gifts that usually come
from the newly made peers, English we'd
ding presents are a beautiful sham. AS
for us, we are donkeys, and give our heads
away Probably, when we are a little
older we will reach the photograph frame
and blotting-case period; then we will be
wiser and richer.

AS the Tuxedo increases in popularity
many questions are constantly asked con-
cerning it, for instance, of what cloth
should it be made? when and where should
it be worn, etc. Vogue SO thoroughly an
swers all these questions that l quote re-
ply given to subscriber:
"A Tuxedo suit would be very smart
made of dress worsted or vicuna, or crepe
worsted. 1t should be made with shawl
collar, very long, of silk, extending to the
waist, with one hole for q boutonniere. The
lapels should be sharply slanted. The roll
or shawl collar should be of moderate width,
the coat or jacket. The waistcoat should
be cut shield shape, with four buttons. The
trousers should be moderately wide. with
no spring. The Tuxedo. or Cowes, or din
ner, or smoking jacket or suit is worn at
hom at dinner in the evening on all in
formal evening occasions, to the play in
the evening. at stage parties, bachelor din
ners, etc. In other words, man should
always wear his Tuxedo in the evening,
except on very formal occasions, dinners,
dances, weddings, receptions ETC., when
he dons the full dress or evening dress"

used in reference to any costume which

NEW YORK. N. Y, Nov. 12.-Blessed
are those people who do not have to ride
or walk on the streets of New York. When
they are not arranging to have cable laid
for the annihllation OF small children
they are digging up the ground, presum-
ably to mend the gas pipes; in reality, to
let you know how the gas smells. Or else,
somebody, with great deal of money, is
tearing down an old house and putting up
new building, which necessitates the
walking of the population in the middle
of the street, or else the clim bing
up flight of shackley steps and
crossing over a bridge that is truly
one of sighs, because of the accidents that
happen on it. Day before yesterday I fell
up the steps of one of these ghastly struc-
lures and tore new fur wrap, and then
fell down and got myself black and blue
where it isn't pleasant to be black and
blue. Even if one can afford to ride in
chaises one has the doubtful pleasure
first, of being overcharged, then of being
banged up and down and ratified about,
and of living in agony for fear that the
cable-car and the horse will come in con-
tact. The average cabman prefers Broad
way, because of its many dangers. He is

1t is customary to comprehend under
the term "chivalry" that radical change of
sentiment which about the time of the
Crusades, or a little earlier, began to reyo-
lutionize the social position of woman.

of pagan antiquity was superseded by an
exaggerated, mawkish and artificial hom-
age which implied a lessened respect

II is pointed out at the Treasury,
that Secretary Carlisle's estimates
last November tor the fiscal year

justified by the almost exact coin
cidence of receipts up to date with

some millions from the income tax
which has not yet been paid. Es'
timating the receipts for the next
three months at a no higher rate
than during March-not allowing
for sugar imports during the Sec
retary's estimate Of receipts-will
il is claimed at the Treasury, be al
most exactly verified. The expen'
ditures under appropriations made
by Congress may be trife above
