WOMEN'S CLOTHES.
Reasons Why Dress Should Always be
Carefully Considered

a wise old clergyman said to young
brother: When you go TO preach IN
the city take your best coat; when in
the country take your best sermon"
That does not seem complimentary
to the city, but it possesses a sound
kernel of truth. Wherever people have
sartorial advantages they are more or
less judged by their clothes | never
see a woman in strange garments Of
most excellent cloth but eccentric cut,
that | do not size her up as woman
of fads o idea" = 18th a capital Il.
She may be perfectly charming in
dependent" woman, but she must have
some faint Of eccont"iCity n h-r make
up, and it will out in her garb.
The miser is known by his clothes,
and 50 is the spendthrift. This no
body will deny. The woman with yul-
gar tastes parades herself in conspicu-
Gus attire, and the sloven is bedlaggled
and untidy. She who lacks artistic
qualities cannot disguise the fact SO
long as she goes abroad clothed in
her right mind, Our gowns are on
very intimate terms with us, and they
are bound to have resemblance
Clothes express the person as thor
oughly as the eyes or voice. On the
whole, l think it must be more of a
compliment to be called a well and
suitably dressed woman than to be
called a beauty. The one bears refer
ence TO single merit; the other to
diversity of parts.
In the first place, the well-dressed
woman indicates infallibly that she has
la level head. She does not wear car
rjage dresses when she goes walking,
nor queer mixtures of evening dress at
church or theater She must be re-
A1ed, because her clothes are never
blatant.
The matter of dress is not a small
one, and the man who thinks that it
does not matter what a woman wears
so long as heart is all right" is show
Ing that sublime ignorance of the sex
for which mankind was ever famous.

that woman whose only thought in

HORSEWHIPPED HER FATHER S
ADMIRER

Miss Elaine Clarrage, an attractive
young woman residing in San Francis
co, has just achieved notoriety by pub
licly Furnishing Nina Trimmer, a form
er friend, because Of the persistent at
tentions she bestowed upon her Miss
Clarrages) fathar. The trouble began
at the home OF the ClarIages ir San
Francisco. Miss Trimme- took up a
position across the street from the
house, and with a pair of opera glasses
watched every move OF the family.
Miss ClarIage and her brother Edward
appeared after a time and wordy
war followed. Miss Trimmer started
down town and the Garages followed.
They met again and another tongue
lashing was administered. The trio
came on down town and at the corner
of Twelfth and Washington streets
Miss Clarrage grabbed a whip from a
delivery wagon that stood near the
corner and attacked Miss Trimmer.
Miss Trimmer lodged behind Edward
Clarrage, seeking to avoid the blows
which were rained upon her head and
shoulders. She used the young man
for shield quite effectually. but still
the Infatuated girl followed her around
and managed to land several singing
Nrws. There was q short struggle for
the now frayed-out whip, and the
young ClaIage ended the affair by
parting the contestants and ordering
his sister home
Miss Clarrage, in explaining the cause
Of the affair, said Miss Nina Trim

Good roads seems to be the cry an

bushes and trees in the limits OF the
road in the months of August and Sem
TENDER next following such enactment
and cause the same TO be burned except
such as shall be left by special direc-
ton Of the municipal officers for shade
ornamentation or use.
Then compel the owners or abutters
to cut them each year thereafter: and
to insure the execution of the law let
the towns attend to the matter, cut
the bushes themselves and carry the
expense of the same into the next years

taxes.
Do this and in the end it Will harm
no one, for the roadsides will be worth
moving for hay, and it will add to the
selling value Of nearly every farm
enough to pay the first cost.
| know it is agreeable to ride in the
shade on an August afternoon. but il
is disagreeable to ride in mud up 10
the axle, after the driving road is dry
and easy travelling as is almost always
the case when the road is shaded. Then
take the old walls that disfgure SO
many fields and dump them into the
bitches and cover them from the old
roadbed, and you may have a road that
will be hard the first day after The
snow is off and keep so till the snow
comes again.
