prcnt court lIiaU The general character tor

acter for yeracity as witness.
1t further goes on to state THAT such
character i'll a man does not in like manner
affect his character for yeracity." So far
as know this 5 the first State to legally
declare such an attitude, but one familiar
with the police court annals has had ample
opportunity to discover that there is an un-
written law to this effect everywhere.
Not only is her character for veracity
!mpeached, but the belief seems to have
gained undisputed ground that because q
woman has lost her cha stity or her virtue,
as the common expression goes, that she
mas lost every other virtue.
In Washington during the past winter
we had an exhibition of how easy it is to
convict a woman unjustly of belonging to
the branded class and what treatment
she may expect when that reputation is
fastened upon her in the case of brave
Sibyl Wilbur, who went through the po-
lice court in disguise so she might testify
TO the treatment accorded women of the
Town. All she had to do to win such a
reputation was to walk on Pennsylvania
avenue after IL O'Clock at night ana to say
when accoSted by the officers of the la "

RIDING HABITS OF WHITE.

IT CORRESPONDENT now in the gay
capital of Austria writes in en-
I thusiastic terms of the white rid
L ing habits which are at present
popular there. Three of these,
worn with white sailor hats, w ere made of
soft but thin pique, the skirt extremely
short and the Jacket and waistcoat strapped
at the seams. The collar of the wastcoat
was high and quite military in shape, and
the sleeves hardly fulied a t the shoulder.
White gloves and white patent leather top
boots gave the whole costume a charming
finish. Tiny clusters of small, fresh bios

TIGHT SHOES.

n ONT wear tight shoes il you want
your feet to look and feel well.
Don't wear q short shoe. 1t does
- not make a foot look agreeably
small. 1t gives great pain and in
time produces bunions An ill-fitting shoe,
whether too small or too large, it does not
matter, produces corns and all their attend
ant discomforts. Temporary relief for
painful corn may be found by applying
a mixture of carbolic acid and sweet oil,
or binding on the corn at night a small
piece OF lemon. By rubbing the feet with
giycerine after bathing, blisters may be
prevented If they are tender, and gen.
eral soothing effect produced. A we'll
shaped foot looks well in any style
OF shoe: defective foot, whether de-
formed by nature or careless treatment,
should always be covered by black
shoe, which hides many shortcomings, and
outgro wings, and is always in good taste.

SENTIMENT OF WOMEN.
There is a very prevalent opinion that
women are harder on their SHINING sisters

takes that view in his eloquent sermon on
the social evil do rot agree to this. Wo-
men are not responsible for the views they
