woman and Billiards.

The philanthropist ill St. Louis who is preparing to equip. and run public billiard room exclusively for the female sex is getting ready for magnificent failure. There are some achievements that are beyond the reach of lovely won- an, and billiards is among them.
 The experiment would have a better chance of success ill St. Louis than else- where. The beautiful suburbs of that city are occupied by the homes of con- muters, wherein the female members of the family attempt the incompatible in- dustries of raising chickens and flowers. This involves the necessity of "shooing" the chickens out of the gardens and of throwing pebbles and chips of wood at them, and as a result of practice great many ladies are now able to throw stones at their neighbors' chickens without breaking their own back windows. But this does not prove that woman could play billiards
 There are other difficulties in the prof. sect besides woman's physical disability. Public billiard rooms are always up stairs, because one essential to successful management is the little dumb waiter which connects with the saloon below and the use of which is as a sealed book to woman. Then woman will not chalk her cue; the chalk would como off on her gown. Unless chalk is used, a mis- cue is inevitable, and no lady could be expected to use the language invariably used by the male player when he mis- cues.
 On the whole, it would certainly be better to abandon the Utopian project of lifting the new woman up to the level of billiards. It is premature. New York World.

An Ancient Custom,

Shakespeare, upon parting Brutus and Cassius prior to their tragic end on the plains of Philippi, did not seat them around conyivial board, where each might bespeak the others health and long life ill a bumper of wine. Perhaps the immortal author. in his fidelity to the gravity of those stirring times, could not reconcile the solemnity of that parting with the cup that cheers. There is no doubt, however, that wine or its equivalent was as easily ob- tainable ill those days as it is today
 There are many evidences in the ex- plorations of the buried cities of Pom- peii and Herculaneum that alcoholic beverages played q leading part in the luxury and debauchery of those ancient times. When Vesuvius' merciless show CT of ashes and lava descended upon the people, it found many of them in vari- ous stages of intoxicated abandonment, and in the progress of recent excavations have been found numherless bottles fiji ed with ashes, setting just as the revel- CTS had left them when forced to flee on that awful night more than 1,S00 years ago.

 the weave. Generally it is quite the other way, the intuition being handsomer at distance. while close examination shows the coarseness.
 Just now all the retail houses are mak- ing great efforts to sell off the essentially summer goods, and as from every present indication fashions next year will not differ very materially from those of this season, it would be good economy to buy now, especially ginghsms, lawns and all the linen batistes These three fabrics are like bread. Wo must have them, and they arc so very cheap, and are always nearly There Is not very much new in tho line of fabrics this week. The old ones appear in new colorS. Foulards in deep red, with polka spots Varying in size from pinhead to a quartet of dollar, in black or white, are quite vogue. Lawns and some of the light foulards, and oven the taffetas and louisines, are in these fiery reds, and also new shade called watermelon. This is very delicate and pretty. Some of tho silks have white or ivory ground with mignonette green, old rose, purple or black dots, the most of them being at least as large as dime. T These make tylish tea gowns and also full dresses. :ss~
 Speaking of taa gowns, recalls two that wero put on private view today. They were both imported and models from which many othegs will be developed. One of them was a soft India silk in a quaint and intricate design of terra ootta and rush gfaep.- The front breadth was gathered at the throat and fell in loose folds to the feet. The rest of the skirt was gathered, and in tbe hack the fullness was brought intOa close bunch, shirred two or three times. Thers was a tiny bit of a hustle to hold this shifring in place. Over the skirt was a sort of tunic of very pale.

frosty green grosgrain silk. Thls was open in the baok, and all around it was a deep lace nounce, falling in cascade folds from the neok. The collar was of the bat wing variety, with a little lace on the ln- side. The sleeves had puffs of the gros- grain nt inc top. The rest was shirred in mousquetaire style and had frill of very narrow lace along the inner seam. Tho tnnic is very oftcn seon on tho gowns for fall and those for winter will also doubt less show them. The plan seems to be to have an overgarment cut so that two DOT tions of 1t hang flat down the skirt Tn some cases they cover tho front and back and are open at tho sides In others they cover the sides, and arc open in front and at the buck. The tunic is the forerunner of the looped polonaise and dolly warden.
 Another handsome tea gown was lnado of striped silk in n blue bourette stripe on white ground. The front was laid in deep folds from the neck down. but 1t was held in tho front In blouse form by n rib bon in pne blue. The back was in a wat teau plait and had short train. There were belt lapels of fine white embroidery, and down the front of tho waist was very dressy arrangement made of two pointed ribbons edged with the emhroid- cry. The sleeves were puffed and had caps of lace at tho top and ruffles at the wrist. Tea gowns would look better with loose and flowing sleeves, but just now fashion is in favor of close ones.
 One of the prettiest parts of this gown was the back. The little jacket effect of lace extended over the shoulders, and tho

Tho Loyab.o s..yaneso p.on,s.

Down to Java is the title of m arti- clc in Tho Century, written by Eliza R. Scidnore. Tho author says:
 Native lifo swarms in this land of tho betel and tho banana, where there secm to be moro of inherent dream and calm than in other lands of tho lotus. Tho .Iayanese are the finest flowers of tho Malay race, n people possessed of a civilization, arts and literature in that golden poriod before the Mohammcdan and the European corqucsts They have gentle voices, gentle manners, line and expressive features and are the one people of Asia besides tho Japanese who havo real charm and attraction for tho alien. They aro moro winning, too, by contrast nfter one has met tho harsh un- lovely and unwashed people of China or the equally unwaslied, cringing Hindoo. They nro little people, and one feels the same indnlgent, protective sense as toward the Japaneso. Their language is soft and musical--"tbe Italian of tho tropics"- their ideas are poetic, and their love of flowers and perfumes, of music and the dance, of heroic plays and of every emo- tional form of art, proves them us innately @sthetio as their distant cousins, the Japa- nese, in whom there is so large an admix- turc of Malay stock. Their reverence for rank and age and their elaborate etiquette and punctilious courtesy to one another arc as marked in the common people as among the Japanese, but their abject crouching humility before their Dutch employers and the brutality of the latter to them are sub jects for sadder thinking and something to make the blood boil

embroidery fell over tho watteau plait. The collar was of tho tudor shape, and had lace around it and full bow at the back of the same blue ribbon. The belt started from under the plait. This all made the back of the gown nearly as or nate as the front, something rarely seen.
 A very handsome afternoon home gown was made of opal taffeta. It is wonder full how all the tints of that jewel can be wrought into dress material. The surface color is milky blue, and the shades it gives in different lights are those of tho opal. This had the skirt trimmed with m inch wide ruflle of absinth colored silk muslin all around the bottom and up the four front seams to the waist The blouse was made entirely of the absinth colored null In longitudinal shirrings, with a ruf1ie at the front Tho sleeves had puffs of the silk and ruff1es of the null. The lower part of the sleeves was shirred on, with a narrow ruf1le on the inner seam. Tho belt and stock wefe of changeabie blue and orange taffeta I think there will be many pieces of changeable stuffs shown late this season, especially in twills and ribbed goods.
 The newest designs in brooches and ear rings ara so absurdly old fashioned that vo smile at them while we buy them. Few arc jeweled. OLIVE HARPER.

 NEW YORK, Aug 3.-It is queer idea, but it is fact that women have worn cheviot, serge and other woollen stuffs dur ing the summer-not always, but often, and now are arranging to wear canvas during tho fall Mayhap they will wear 1t in the winter, too, for women are con- tradictory creatures. These canvas gowns will be of the checked variety and be made in way to suggest woolen shepherd cheeks. Some arc in dark blue and white, with lining of drab or gray. which makes an effective ground. Some of the open canvas weayes arc illuminated, and others resemble cheyiots in their softest mixed tints. Some look like coarse home, spuns at distance, and it is only on close approach that one sees tho real beauty of
