TEXTURES FOR AUTUMN WEAR.

TEXTURES FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
 Soft clinging effects will have the preference over all stiff materials. Cashmeres still have place in hand some gowns, as do the henriettas and albatross, as well as the fine serges. Canvas-oloths are made softer and show voriety of open wrought meshes In all the new autumn tints. Poplins are still with us and those of high silk en ulstre are much used for very dressy wear, especially in the shades of gray and green. For dressy black, either satin, poplin or some of the fine benga- line weaves are shown in preference to the brocades and moires. Grape effects and crepons are good, and show a ten dency to pretty silken gloss Ladies' cloth in every conceivable shade will be worn, and many black ones, made sol- idly or with color, are designed for calling and afternoon affairs.
 Braids of all sorts, in both plain and fancy weave, will be used in the great est profusion, and will be applied in all sorts of designs, as well as in straight up-and-down and all-around effects Some of the dress skirts show the bot tom edge cut in, vandykes, either bound or faced back with silk, and beneath is placed a three or four inch ruffie that may be either plaited or gathered. This, by the way, is an easy way of lengthening a dress-skirt. Woman S Home Companion

THE CONSTANT CARTER.


 The critical faculty is all very we'll ill it's way and when called into action by the foibles of our neighbors, but when it is directed against the individ- ual ego, it becomes a burden, ~and he who exercises it is a thorn of porten- tious proportions in quivering flesh. It is not, however, the professional critic, the man who is paid to criticise that which solicits criticism, whom any, save hysterical lady novelists or skinned actresses, would reproach. Critics of all kinds direct our taste, and tell us de gustibus non est disputan- dum," that is 'on a question of art istic merit don't you venture to hold an opinion, Leave it to us, your intel lectual adviseSs, who know" We obey, for we revere and esteem these pro- fessional gentlemen. We have no quarrel with them; it is the daily and hourly critic who earns our maledic- dictions, and against whom we long to invoke the aid of gods and heroes. Who is there who has not gloried in fine apparel, recently brought home from Conduit street or the Mile End Road, only to be dashed by the house. hold carper, who finds wrinkles in odd corners that evade the eye, or makes disparaging remarks on the "cut" in which the wearer has hitherto found complacent satisfaction? It is not a difficult matter to depress modest man on the subject of his clothes; a casual word will cause him to relegate for ever objurgated garments to the limbo of the bottom drawer or, should a slender purse forbid the luxury, will cause him weeks of little ease till the slandered suitings have worked out their irksome span.
 There are some men who seem to have been born into this world for the sole purpose of smelling out imperfec- tions, and they pursue their vocation with a praiseworthy persistence that leaves them little leisure for the enjoy ment of anything but the caviare of carping. Accompany one of this sort the soup is cold, the fish long since de- funct, the entree tasteless, and the mutton tough. The carper's compan- ion loses all enjoyment and pleasant interest in cooking at the sound of such lailings, while the naughty carper eats on,no whit disturbed by his own strict ures, and jackets his friend for his lack of appetite. After dinner the theatre brings no turn to captious complaints Were ever seats so uncomfortable? Was written ever such twaddle? and great Scott! did players ever live who played so ilI?" There is little pleasure of 'grumbIish by birthish," as the washerwoman dubbed her lady help and the annoying part of it is that the grumbler is the only one of his circle ! who remains serene and undiscouraged in life passed in the immediate vicinity Nothing upsets him. He has his idols i and so smashe s every other body's without the smallest fear of reprisals

to spend money that ever originated in
this board" was part of Mr.. Barker's
arraignment OF Mr.. Davis resolution
for the purchase of three lots at Sl,l00
each on Fillmore avenue. near the pres
cnt No. is building. MIR. Barker said
the present building was ample in its
accommodations and would be for
years to come, with the addition of
from two to four rooms. The proposed
purchase of lots was only IAN enter
ing wedge for a probable attempt i'm
the near future to secure from 10000
TO $50. 600 for q new building in a local
ity which now contains only twenty
five pupils
Mr.. Leonard moved that the resolu-
tion be referred to the building COM
mittee with instructions to secure bet
ter terms. Lots in the locality men
toned were not worth anywhere near
81 100 each, he said Mr.. Evans said
that $4OO each was the average value
of lots in that neighborhood. Mr. Leon
ards motion was lost by a vote of 12
to g. Mr.. Barker's motion to table
the original motion was lost by a vote
of 10 to 5.
1t was at this point that Mr.. Barker
made his assertion about fragrant
expenditure, but the Davis resolution
prevailed by a vote of IL to 6, Messrs.
May, Evans, Schriefer, Barker, Leon
ard and Francois voting negatively.
The following insurance committee
report. presented by Mr.. Roche, was
approved:
We recommend that as the old insur-
ance committee had already placed in
surance on the boilers in use in various
school buildings i'm the district in the
| agency of G. G.. Boland, the policies be
! accepted and that the premium of $50
/ be paid for one years insurance.
| We further recommend that at the end
! OF the year when said policy shall expire
! the insurance on the boilers be discon-
| tinued, as we consider the steam pressure
| in the boilers too low to render insurance
| necessary.
On motion Of Mr.. May permission was
| given Mrs. Underwood superintendent
| of the kindergarten work of the SCran-
! ton Kindergarten association, to ad-
| dress the board at the next meeting.
