- AN EMPHASIZING QUESTION.

An interesting question in constitu- tional interpretation has been raised in Pennsylvania, Governor Hastings, In pardoning some men convicted of elec- tion frauds sought to relieve them from the disfranchisement which their sentence involved. Attorney General Mccormick rendered an opinion in fa- vor of the governors action, but his position is antagonized by constitution al lawyers in the State equal at least, in reputation to the attorney general it is said, and not under the necessity of defending their own action, the at- torney general being member of the Board of Pardons, which recommended These lawyers hold that the disfran- chisement of this class of offenders Is brought about by a provision of the State constitution, and not by legisla- tive enactment One of the most inn  they point out, was to secure purity of elections so that the will of the people might be fairly ascertained, and an other was that the power of pardon vested in the governor by the old con | stitution should be decreased and re- strained, and it was with that object that the Board of Pardons was created. But fearing that even this check upon the pardoning power would be insufficient in the cases of convicts whose crimes were of a political character, the con | stitutional convention embodied in the constitution penalties for this class | of cases, so that, should the Board of Pardons and the governor be induced for political reasons or through politi- cal pressure to permit offenders against the purity of elections to be freed from l imprisonment, they should not escape all punishment, and should not be in- l trusted again with the privileges of the | franchise.

nIYoRCE ETIOUETrE.

Perhaps some of our feminine readers don't know just how they ought to be- have when divorced or when any of their feminine friends are divorced. A long-felt want has been met by the construction of a code of etiquette for the united and her friends, and we take pleasure in calling the attention of New Haven Society to it. Of course those not in Society needn't pay any atten- ton to it, but can behave as they please.
 According to this code it is proper and polite for woman who has let Society know, by the beginning of legal | proceedings, that she is tired of her husband to wait to know on what terms she will be received by her friends when legally absolved from her matri- monial obligations. The friend who agrees to uphold and countenance the wife in the case always gives at once proof of sympathy. It is In eminent good taste to call, after the fashion of a condoling acquaintance, leave card at the door and send up modest offer ing of flowers. If no flowers are em- ployed as indications of, goodwill a message of noncommittal kindness and an inquiry after the woman's health are proper Again, when the legal bus mess is at an end and the feminine actor in the domestic tragedy retires for time to her parents house or makes ready to go abroad, the indica- tions of unaltered interest are made through the medium of visiting cards personally delivered. Ten days or two weeks having elapsed, call is in order and an invitation is often given to a small and formal dining. Usually when so much ceremony is observed, the very deferential negotiations come to an end or merge into the usual polite intercourse. Where the friendship is
 more intimate a short and carefully expressed note should be dispatched to the woman. After a time a call is in order. No more recognition of these courtesles Is required of the recipient
 than the simple Thank you' of a wife bereaTed by death of her chosen mate.

may be occasionally admitted to their evening entertainments. The founder, in the course of an interesting conver- sation, has explained the raison d-etre or her club in very modest terms. She said that the idea of such an establish ment was excellent, useful and, in- deed, indispensable, and that she was only surprised that 1t had not long ago occurred to others and been carried out before How many women were isola- ted in their lives and yet thoroughly worthy of respect. Widows, old maids, wives whom their husbands selfishly left to spend their evenings alone, wo- men who cultivated the fine arts, who toiled and taught, with others who, had no cheerful home, could here meet after the labors of the day or after weary hours of solitude and take sweet coun- sel together. To all these worthy and courageous ladies she had determined to offer this rendezvous and give them some of the pleasures and benefits of a happy home. She made no secret of the names of the members, and added that everything was conducted on seri- ous and business-like principles. The annual subscription was sixty francs, and candidates had to go under rather a severe ordeal ere obtaining admission to the club,
 From this point of view we are much more strict than you are in your mems clubs" exclaimed the founder, with a smile and she went on to ex plain that the evening began with dim ner, followed hy conversation in the sa- Ions, where play for money stakes was absolutely forbidden "Soon," she con- cluded, "when we are naore numerous we shall give soirees artistiques, to which men may be admitted, but they must not regard this as a custom ? The salons, the dining and the library are all prettily decorated. and the club appears to be extremely com fortable. Such is the first cercle de femmes started in this country. It is simply intended to provide society for women; but now that the ice is broken it may find imitators both here and in the provinces, and there is no saying that ladies' as well as mems clubs may not become quite general institutions. it is true that not few of our French friends are rather inclined to predict that the ldUl6S VIII IlOt dS d rue prove themselves so enterprising; but this re- mains to be seen. At any rate, accord ing to the explana tion of the founder of this, the first establishment of the kind | there is no idea whatever of taking wo- | men away from their home duties the motive being really kindly not to say philanthropc.-Pari Correspondence London Telegraph.

For further trimming there was a yoke of guipure finished with a wide bias fold of cloth, which was slashed in the cor ners and held together by straps and buttons. A second fold gave the epau- lets.

FASHION NOTES.
An Odd Strap Finish.

It is over year since the craze for trimming dresses with straps of cloth. and at that time there was such gen eral rush to this device that women soon tired Of the everlasting buttons and straps that pretended to fasten and didn't. Now that the fashion is well passed it is safe to use the straps again, and they will seem all right since they are not duplicated by nine dresses out of ten, as they were in the time alluded to. In this pictured dress they served to endow a comparatively simple dress with a distinct character of it's own, making of the whole an at- tractive oddity. The material was biege colored cloth, the skirt garnished with straps of different lengths fast ened with buttons and put on at regu-
