Enshinna Frnm Pnris.

Some odd ideas are shown in the
decoration Of gowns in Paris now. For
instance, travelling gown OF loosely
woven pale-blue plaid cheyiot has
bands OF white enamelled leather for
trimming. These outline the vest,
form the collar and belt, and run in
two points down on the front of the
skirt. The lower part Of the skirt
is made in kilt form-a pretty oll-lash-
ioned revival
Stitched bands are most popular
wherever they are possible, even on
silk gowns. On duck, linens and
piques they are the usual trimming,
On n blue yachting gown the white
pique front panel has crisscrossed
bands Of the same stitched on.--Har-

Charity work For woman.

Much wrong is done in the sacred
name Of charity in taking up a poor
girl, giving her an undue idea of her
talents, sending her to Paris to study
singing telling her she will be great
prlma donna, and then deserting her
if she fails. 1t is just then that She
needs charity, and the person who
is able to give should investigate such
cases Sometimes poor girl has n
superior voice, and is able to excite
envy. She is bounded out Of her place
by some one who cannot sing as well
as she does,
Such person lifted up to the high
est hopes, dtopped to the lowest rung
of despair, is the person to help. She
needs that twenty fairs be given for
her. Do not let her starve. The for
gotten artist who is so poor, so old,
so hungry, it is her picture which
should be ratfied for And, above all,
have the charity of the heart for those
who are attacked. There is more need
Of n little kind incredullty sometimes
than for much money.-Mrs. John
Sherwood, in Harper's BaZar.

That they are beautiful however,
never has been denied, for in all ages
they have been lauded in poetry and
song as one Of the loyellest types Of
womanklnd.
All the cold colors belong TO this
type. Those dainty, refreshing har.
monies are hers, whether her checks
resemble the petal of rose or he Of
that delicate palness so often accom-
panying haxen hair and the blue or
violet eye Cold blues from dark to
light silyery blues that have no sug
gestion of green or yellow. chalk blues
that are dun of surface and resemble
some cold skies, all are hers to com.
mand. Pale cold green, combined
with white or gray, can also be worn,
though one should experiment with
green carefully. The wrong tint will
have a disastrous result upon the hair.
Dull black can also be worn and a
very dark red, but it must be So dark
as to show only in the light.

WOMEN IN THE PAlLlPPINEs.
Fortune Awaits the DressmalSer who

Fortune Awaits the Dressmalzer who
win Start an Establishment There,
"There is a fortune for any woman
who will go to the Philippines and
start a dressmaking establishment"
says the wife of an army officer, who
has just returned from six months
visit to her husbands post "She
could charge fancy prices and COM
mand them. When ] was there and
wanted some new clothes was forced
to go to a Chinaman, the only dress
maker in the place. And they do blotch
things. They can no more fit an Amer
lean woman than their native clothes
would.
'When l first went to fhe islands
was Mortified at the manner of dress
the women and young girls assumed.
They would drive out in the morning
and go shopping, wearing garment
that resembled the Mother Hubbard so
closely that one could not tell the diff.
ference except in the material used.
Their Mother Hubbards are really
works of art They are creations of
silk and lace ribbons, and after one
gets accustomed to seeing a woman
on the street in such negligee it really
seems sensible and quite pretty. Ma.
Mia women never wear cOrsets in the
morning. But in the evening, when
the air has become cool, they make
up for lost time and wear lace ball
gowns, with the bodice cut very low
and most of the time without any
sleeves at all. A Philippine lady never
wears a hat or bonnet in the evening.
1T is quite easy to spot strangers
the minute you see them. Out they
come in the morning with tight dresses
on, shirt waists and skirts, and in the
evening they appear with large, beau
tiful hats After they have been
there while they still wear beautiful
clothes, but their style has changed.
They wear wrappers in the morning
and in the evening they are seen in
evening dress, whether or not they
are going to any entertainment, and
they never appear with a hat on. The
only hat a Philippine lady wears is a
sombrcro, or perhaps she only uses
a parasol. This is one reason why
they have such beautiful hair.
american women have troubles Of
their own when they want to buy
shoes. The shoes made in Manila no
American woman would wear They
have a short yamp, and the whole
shape of the thing is simply horrible
The only thing to do is to have shoes

of nineteen years slips into church

for a diminutiye crown under bunch

two of green foliage. The rose leaves
stand up n little like an algrcttc.

Lace Capes.

Lace capes are about the most eX.
pensiyc garments in the way of wraps
that are seen anywhere. They can
be made possible for winter as well
as summer wear provided they are
lined with warm lining. They look a
little incOngruous at first for cold
weather, but rs they are trimmed with
fur and rich embroidery in spangled
designs, they can hardly be classed
as exclusively summer garments. The
white lace wraps are made up over
accordion-pleated mousselnc de sole
that in its turn. is lined with white
satin. They are quite long, and the
lace is put on rather full, but not in
pleats, and the full beauty OF the
design shows over the light mousse
line de sole. The yoke effect over the
shoulders is sometimes hidden by a
capuchin hood of velvet lined with
spangled lace. There are long ends
of pleated chiffon edged with a ruch-
ing. Black lace over white, with the
hood lined with black spangled lace
or blue silk with steel makes n most
effective wrap. 1t is n style which
cannot be initiated in cheap materials,
for there is so much of the lace to be
seen it is necessary to have it of the
very best The hood is made Of white
or black velvet, as desired. Black
looks better than the white, however,
although both are fashionable. These
lace capes are the most effective even
ing wraps that will be worn during

The High Office OF
EX=PreSident.

The "Evening Posts, en- April
%, says:
Gen. Harrison illustrated, in his
speeches at the missionary conference
on Saturday, the delightful liberty,
combined with dignity, which an
ex.President may enjoy in this CO.
untry. Indeed, he furnished = new
reason for an honorable ambition to
hold the Presidency-such privileges
does that Office confer upon the man
who has left it. To command the
respect, and to have the ear of the
people, and then to be absolutely
free and untrammelled in what you
say to them-one might be willing
even to be President as stepping
stone to his higher Office Of e4-
President. 1t is something like the
distinction which J. III. Barrie says
that journalism has given many men
after they have left it. With Mr..
Cleveland exercising his gift of
fearless speech, and Gen. Harrison
instructing and delighting his audi
encps, we need not worry over the
old question, "What shall we do With
cur ex Presidentsi" The real cues
ton is, EEWhat should we do sCithOut
themfn. ..........
The ex.President INDUCED himself
in more undisguised levity when he
came to speak of Gov. Roosevelt.
1t was comparatively easy for the
Governor to slip down frsm Albany.
Indeed, it was well known that he
frequently came to New York "fOr
the purpose Ofhaving consultations"
Again the missionaries smiled at
this introduction Of the fighter ofthe
Platt breakfast-table. Then, when
they saw the Colonel himself sitting
there looking very fierce and angry,
the spectacle was enough to s9shake
the midriff of despair with laughter" I"
and the Olympian mirth ran through
Carnegie Hall. Even MIR Roosevelt
concluded that laughter was the bet
ter part of valor, and finally joined
in the merriment, 1t aCas very sue
cessful diversion of one military
man at the expense Of another, and
the Colonel must have taken away
higher idea OF the Generals tactics
If not of his tact. For our part,
we can only say of Benjamin Har
iison that, if he keeps on in his
course Of audacious raillery, he will
be in peril of hsing confounded With
that mythical being, referred to by
an American of Grant Duff's ac
quaintance, s'Bepjamin TrovatO, Who
said SO many good things"
In the serious part OF Gen. Harr
ison's address-which so completely
snuffed out President Mckinley
. he also showed what a thing it is to
be an ex-Presideut. He made a
really statesmanlike suggestion res
pecting the repression of the rum
