M Right TO Uglfness.

Sir Walter Besant writes in a Lon
don magazine that it is reported that a
woman lecturer i'll New York has been
advancing a new dectirne-a doctrine
of rebellion. She claims among the sa-
cred rights OF women nothing less than
the Right-with capital R-to be Ug-
ly-with a capital U-if they please.
"We old fashioned folk, who find moth
ing so delightful in the world as the
woman who is not ugly, the woman
who pleases and attracts by her lowell
ness Of face and form, or by the gra-
ciousness of her manners, or by the
ready sympathy of her mind, or by the
grace with which she presents herself,
so to speak, in a careful setting of dress,
need not be moved in the least by this
new doctrine. The woman lecturer can
not, try as hard and as long as che
nleases, put off her womanhood and be-
come neuter. The course of the world
has firmly established two strong points
in the human mind, ever the most saw
age. First, the man must always
have in him something of the warrior.
He must be quick to fight, strong to de-
fend; inventive and constructive; a
hunter after food and a c~ultivator of
the soil. It's, if he pleases, his Right
always with a capital-to be a cur and
a coward, but there never has been a
man who openly. deliberately and with
ont shame has taken up that role. 1t is,
on the other hand, understood to be the
special duty of the woman to look after
the home, to make that home pleasing
to man and to children, and since
this is and always will be the chief du-
ty and life work of the woman o whole
group of virtues has grown up for her
exclusive use. Among them the most
conspicuous is the virtue of attractive
ness. .Whatl' cries the advanced one.
Deck myself out in fine clothess to
please mere man? Neveri' Madam, you
are doubtless within your right. Dress
as you please, but if you refuse to obey
this law of your being you will fail TO
persuade women, as you will succeed
in making yourself disgusting.to men.
Do not reply that there are women who
are plain by nature. No need
remain unattraotive if she c~ultivates
graciousness, sympathy and becoming
dress"

An Invalid,s Christmas Gift.

Is there among your friends a weary
invalid for whom you are longing to
do something beautiful and helpful az
the coming holiday season7 II 60, You
cannot do better than to undertake the
preparation of a wonder bag for Christ
mas. A wonder bag is a large bag filed
with gifts from many friends, which
are to be drawn out on special days, ae-
cording to accompanying directions. 1t
may be arranged to last for any length
of time-three months, six months or
a year-drawings being made once,
twice or thrice a week, as may seem
best. Since the recipient Of the bag is
not given a list of the donors nor in
formed of the character Of the gifts q
double surprise awaits her at such
drawing. This contributes not q little
to the novelty and charm Of the scheme.
Make a strong bag of suitable ma
terial-cretonne, denim, canvas or lin
en-. Embroider it with initials a mono
gram or other suitable design and finish
it with stout drawstrings of broad RIB
bon. Since it is to hang in the sickroom
for SO long a time it should be made
not merely durable and serviceable, bus
also dainty and attractive. Wrap each
article in tissue paper, using many
tints. Mark it with the name of tina
donor and tie it securely with narrow
ribbon of a contrasting color, leaving
one end long enough to be used in draw
ing it out. Pack the parcels carefully
in the bag, heavier nes at the bottom
and let the long ribbons hang outside
at the top. Gifts appropriate for special
days, such as the invalid's birthday,
July 4, April l, Easter Sunday, Feb.
90, a very weary day." a stormy
Sunday" ETC., may be designated BY
tiny cards attached to their ribbons.
Most of the gifts, however, should be
left without dates in order that the in
valid may have the privilege once in
awhile Of deciding which ribbon to
draw.-Belle NJ. Brain in Woman's
Home Companion.

Handsome Costumes to Be
Worn at the Horse
Show.
4 PEEP AT SOME NEW CREATIONS
Some of the Coming Sensa-
tions In Dresses.-Rav-

Horse show week brings to light in New
York the gayest and newest Of the winter
gowns. Daring creations that are evolved
in secrecy and kept hidden away are dis
played in the front row boxes around the
tan bark arena. Clever witted, sharp eyed,
nimble fingered modistes are always on
hand. They do not look at the horses
They confne their attentions, as do most
of the other spectators, to the clothes OF
the women In the boxes. Then they go
home and duplicate some Of these ideas
for their best customers. Thus do we get
our styles.
i have seen some Of these horse show
costumes in advance, and can assure you
that they are worth looking at. One is OF
gray cloth, tucked all around the skirt in
CLUSTERS. I cannot imagine how this Is
done. There will be worn with this q
jacket of Russian green velvet, also tuck
cd, and with gold cord sewed over and
over in each tuck. Otherwise it is plain.
Another suit has a mode oolored reps
wool and silk poplin, the bottom of the
skirt being covered with six bias 1ounces.
A coat of ceachman's drnb cloth has a
smooth collar bordered with Alaska sable.
In the front there are two reyars of fur,
and a band reaches tho bottom and anoth'
or encircles the sleeves. There are no pock-
cts or buttons. The severity makes the
style.
A pretty reception gown, which may be
seen at the horse show on some approach
ing afternoon, is of n pink t~affeta,
with an applique Of black lace. The full
waist opens over . Y shaped vest Of white
lace. The waist lie Tapped surplies style.
Another costume is q lovely gown OF
maize colered figured silk muslin, over
laid by three rows of black ~ohantilly
around the bottom. There are two rows
of tho same on the waist. Chenille dots
are added to the waist and sleeves and
also to the lower part of the skirt, which
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-11-12

Is arranged to represent a Dewey f1ounce.
Most of these horse show gowns, by the
way, were designed In Paris.
1t has always seemed a pity to me that
80 few of our American women ever de-
velop any marked originality or individ-
uality in their costuming. They are too
willing to follow the fashion of the day as
provided or designed by foreign taste. We
all know that French taste is perfect
VII e it concerns their own personal re-
quirements, but all the designs made for
expectation to this country have some
thing added to fill our more pronounced
taste.
That Is, the French dressmakers and de-
signers appear to have imbibed the idea
that we like all our garments and belong
ings to be rather conspicuous than quiet
and refined. Perhaps they found some of
our m~illionaires lacking In the fine sense
OF fitness and judge all ths rest in the
same class. Then, when a designer evolves
a picture for one or another of the fashion
plates, and these form the basis of nearly
all our fashions In this country, 1t lie nee
essary to add here and there little touches
to make the picture pretty. II a gown is
mado exactly like the picture in 90 cases
out of 100 the garment is vulgar and over
burdened with detail and trimming.
1t is so hard for a lady who Is really INK
ious to dress modestly and elegantly to
know this. She sees the picture, it pleases
her and she orders her gown to be made
exactly like that one. The result is hat
she never looks as If dressed in her own
clothes, while the Frenchwoman may al
most be known by her clothes. She chooses
what she finds to suit her best, and devil

birthday she received a letter from him.
Among other things, he said: "I'ye sent

once to see the widow. She was as chilly
as a cold storage warehouse, but he is

other is that people who don't read

to last q vehiciefor an average of 20 miles
travel. They can be recharged from any
regulation arc circuit, the recharging tax
ing from one to two hours time. An in
dication OF the increase in the use of these
electrically driven vehicles is found in the
fact that several Of the big elsctrical pow
er houses in New York have had stations
added to their equipment especially for
the recharging of such vehicles.
Stored electricity involves great weight,
and in some eases the batteries constitute
moro than half of the weight Of tho entire
vehicle. Tho frame and wheels of the
wagon or carriage must be made unusual
ly strong and heavy to sustain the load.
That has been one OF the greatest obstacles
in the path of tho electrical carriages prog
ress IN this country. 1t Is being over
come gradually, however.
Inventive genius has evolved methods
to provide for the demand for lighter bat
teries, and in the newer models OF motor
carriages now being put on the market
the weight Is not nearly go great as IN
those of a year ago. Much attention 10
also bsing paid to other than electrical
forces for motor carriages, with a view to
making them acceptable for use and thus
