AMERICAN WOMEN BLAMED
Brooklyn Eagle.


Paris, July 17.-It is not that women are
loudly dressed-never has better taste existed
than at present for the selection Of colors,
they ever did, and it is no wonder, for gowns
the incrustations. lace work. tucking, pleat-
ing are hand made. Worth, for instance,
spends his nights in designing. the materials
of gowns, and then how they will be made up.
Do you know whom the French women blame
for this extraordinary extravaganza in dress
at present? Mesdames les Americaines. You
go to- any entertainment any assembly, and
the best, the most extensively dressed, are
Americans. We'll that Is all right" said
one American woman to me. I'VE have the
money and the taste. Paris taught us how to
dress, and now we teach Paris how to dress"
French actresses, however, vie with Anerf-
can women in the length Of their. dressmak-
ers bills. Mile. Jeanne Dupare In four years
spent $4,000 on dress This was found out in
lawsuit which Mile Dupare had with her
dressmaker for overcharging. This time the
bill amounted to only $4,000, a mere triae, as
the French papers stated Naturally, an ex
pert had to settle the intricate. question. The
judges Of the court, whose salaries are only
$1,000 a year, opened their eyes at this ex
penditure Just to adorn beautiful woman.
They probably are not aware that Mile. Du-l
pare's underskirts cost s120 apiece, and these
are considered too plain to wear on the stage.

THE THEArFRS

Tomorrow evening at the Metropolitan
Miss Percy Haswell and her excellent
stock company will present Henry Arthur
Jones brilliant society comedy, THE LII
ars." Although the play has been seen
here that fact Will merely whet, the .appe-
tite of the local playgoers for more of
this superbly written comedy OF man
ners In modern English society. No
brighter or more sparkling dialogue has
ever been written for the stage. The
plot, too, is so whimsical yet so interest
ing that 1t holds the attention from start
to finish. The action commences in a
tent on the lawn of country house on
the Thames river. Here Lady Jessica
Nepean, a frivolous, light hearted, fas-
cinating but neglected wife. indulges in a
Irritation with Edward Faulkner. The
husband, Gilbert Nepean, warns his wife,
but she persists. Faulkner takes the
matter. more seriously, however, and asks
her to meet him at country inn for
dinner. Lady Jessica does SO, but under
protest, declaring that she has taken the
wrong road quite by accident. Some Of
her friends see her, however, and then
Lady Jessica and her friends unite in q
conspiracy to keep the truth from the
husband. Lie after lie is told to head
off little bit OF truth, and after a whole
mountain Of lies has been erected, the
insertion Of little bit of truth causes the
entire structure to topple. The denoue-
ment is very dramatic and in the end the
foolish Lady Jessica regains the love Of
her husband and the incident is hushed up
in clever way. IL.
Miss Haswell will appear as Lady Jes-
sica, and the role not only gives her an
opportunity to wear some captivating
gowns but also affords her opportunity for
strong emotional work, as we'll as the
lightest of frivolous comedy. Miss Has

depreciation Of music differs largely ac-
cording to how it Is phrased, as the mu-
sicians, say. Rivela's conceptions in this
respect show a remarkable insight into
the thought of the composer. And this
explains how he is able to Gull some ten

offer 1t to his auditors in all its ten

MELANCHOLY IS CONTAGIOUS.

M. 3. sangster, in Christian Intelligencer.
Nothing is more subtly contagious than
melancholy. Therefore, it is most un-
kind to indict it on a neighbor or friend.
II one feels depressed, the first obliga-
tion is to fight against the infiction,
seeking out its cause, which nine times
out Of ten is discovered to be in physical
malaise. A man has worked day In and
day out beyond his capital for daily eff
fort, and has finally drawn so layishly
on his reserves that some morning he
wakes up bankrupt in nervous energy.
Or he has dyspepsia, aiend incarnate in
the citadel of the body. woman has
been mending and sewing and cooking
and doing church work till she has over
taxed her. vitality and she yainly tries
to be cheerful. Let both try the virtue
OF rest. OF outdoor life, of scongenial conf

continually with God.

Many Minneapolitans are great travel

the summer and the little trips taken in
the spring and fall leave their home in

houses used to be a puzzle jbut their
! owners are solving it in a most philan-
tbropic way. They dislike to shut them

The advantages Of lending a furnished
home to trustworthy person are about
evenly divided between the owner and the
borrower. The former secures careful
tenant who will look after the house and
grounds, and at the same time reserves
the right to return when he chooses
which he could not do if he rented out
right. The borrower gives up a seven
by-nine apartment for q, whole. house

AS regularly as some families move out
to the lake, others move into the homes
they left and the man .and woman who
have boarded for nine months Of the year
take on airs Of proprietorship. The
former runs the lawn mower with a proud
telling of possession while his wife
works among the, flowers as though she
had planted the seed. The airs of these
temporary householders are sometimes
!. rather amusing and they talk of "our
house" as II they had not lately desig-
mated their one room by the same title.
They are unused to responsibilities and
lot infrequently go to bed with doors and
windows unfastened. One couple amused
the neighborhood not a week ago by lock-
ing themselves out the first might of their
occupancy and were forced to cut out a
screen before they could enter.

HEARTsEAsE, AMID RUE.
The Christian Register.

Much of our Joy in life is marred by the
lurking consciousness of the other side
Of things, the wrong side of the tapestry,
where threads of the weaving dangle and
the pattern is lost in inextricable confu-
sion The sense of unreality and sham,
Of great conspiracy of silence by which
society exists, a tacit agreement to cover
up dark and discouraging facts and keep
them out Of sight through polite illusions
and pretence, embitters and hardens the
mind. This state of feeling is unfortu-
nate1y almost chronic in our day. Too
many OF our young people have tasted rue
before winning heartsease.
The dreadful disease of disillusion and
unfaith in the great verities, the need OF
something to tie to, anchor upon, where
there will be no dragging by contrary
winds and tides. has eaten out the heart
OF genuine joy in life.
