The old tradition that a man should
cherish his wife, support her as some
thing infinitely delicate and precious,
shield her from the world, and regard
her, not as the pleasant companion of the
hunting field and smoking room, but as
the being associated with the deepest and
most enduring sentiment of his heart,
has, Of couse, no significance for the new
young man. and it is only just to say
that the modern woman has given him
every Justification for his belief that she
can push. trample and fight as success
fully as the most insensitive male
The sisters and mother of the new
young man. if they happen to belong 70
the old order Of women, are not to be
congratulated. They will find themselves
one day signing for the old-time young
man, with his ehiyalrous ideas about Wo-
men. and his stupid unenlightened con-
yiction of his own inferiority in most
things except force, which he delighted TO
use for their benefit and admiration.
Here is a pretty idea for decorating
evening slippers. says the Ladies Home
Journal One Of my girl friends has
sent me some patterns and designs, ana
says she bought two pairs of slippers
one pink satin pair and one white KID.
The pink satin ones she has embroidered.
in gold thread in a large sort of bowkneri
design, and she writes me they are ex-
tremely pretty. The white kid slippers
she painted in peoples and green leaves.
This time l think have struck a really
practical idea and one which we can
utilize nicely next winter.
NO woman who respects herself would
dream of wearing a parasol without a
bow or a rosette of some sort round the
handle, and it is rather in handles than
on any other point in these projections
from rain and sun that fashion asserts
herself. The parasols of today are so
large that they have affected the sale of
e~ntous-cas, but a few still remain, and
they and the umbrellas often display
handles of exactly the same color as the
silk, handsomely mounted Malachite,
lapis-lazuli, and amethyst are in great de-
mand for green, blue and violet sun
shades. The more useful handles are of
gun-metal.
1t is said that the fall season of 1899
will be one of the best plaid seasons that
we have had for several years. There
seems to be a demand on the part Of cur
women in general for extremes In ma
terials. They want a tailor-made suit
which is simplicity Itself, and then they
want something striking by way of
change, and of course nothing viii suit
them but a plaid skirt, and the larger the
plaid the better they ike It.
To be quite up to date a silk stocking
must be fine enough TO pass through a
wedding ring. al openwork pattern being
carried all over it. ovals of lace being let
in on the instep. More original are the
stockings with narrow insertions of Chan
lilly lace. which start from the toe and
Irvine round and round the leg to the top
of the stocking: but the greatest novelties
Of all are the medallions of colored flowers
embroidered on the instep.
Underpetticoats are becoming things of
beauty, though. alas. they are not joys
forever. White broehe are the most in
favor. They are trimmed with little
ruehes, and ornamented with lovely in
sertion and draperies Of fine mousseline
de sole. and. in fact. nothing can be too
elaborate or beautiful to use in making
these extremely expensive and but rare
y seen articles Of dress.
Lace pins of diamond crescents run

mond bars balancing immense pearls,
and open squares of half iamonds and
half emeralds are most effective. as they

The new royal marine. Neapoltan and
silver blues in cloth and lighter weight
woods, for costumes. princess dresses, red
ingotes and jackets will present such
tempting shades this autumn that they
will find purchasers without number. The
rich, beautiful marine and Neapolitan
dyes are becoming to women of every
type.
A new rubber corset has recently In
vaded the market. and IS ar excellent
garment for the completion of a bathing
outfit, since its qualities make it a life
preserver in itself. and its wearer in the
surf does not. therefore, have to burden
herself with a clumsy belt to keep her
ahoat.
A very bewildering sight indeed was a
recent private exhibit of summer cos
tunes, with foulard in every conceivable
guise and made up in every conceivable
style. Lace and lace Insertion are used
TO give a certain effectiveness TO these
inexpensive silks.
