Shall Men Choose
Women's Clothes!

IL Ia often said that women dress to
please each other. but men dress to
please themselves. On this point q
writer in 1.-THE Lady's Pictorial" says:
Now and then one sees q woman
whose clothes are absolutely character
istic of her, and bear the impress Of
having been carefully thought out by
their wearer. These. are those who
never wear garments fashioned like
others; but the majority o. women do
not desire, nor, indeed would 1t become
them, to be individualistic in their at
tire. They like TO be sin the fashion" Z"
And the question IL are they, or are
men. best suited to making what Is un-
derstood by Ia mode. On the whole
one inclines TO the opinion that men
are really the best judges Of what best
suits the female form divine; and, on
the other hand, it would seem as II wo-
mans taste in mems clothing Is far
more reliable than mans. She Is quick
TO detect q mistake in the choice Of q
Tie, W uOIC IuC huklC vi . ndlr tuc SGT
of a coat, the pattern of tweed, the
shape Of q collar, and she never falls
into error OF urging her men folk to
adopt any atrocious things merely be-
cause they are described as ''very fash
ionable." The man whom q woman
considers well dressed, is well fitted,
absolutely well groomed and quite un-
obtrusive alike in the matter OF hats,
waistcoats, ties or patterns, and this
looks as il each sex were meant to
select the others clothes. Women are
ready enough to admit mems good
taste and cleverness in this direction,
but the other sex disclaim with horror
the ability of their womenkind to ex-
ercise any judgement with regard TO
their wardrobes, despite the fact that
an unfavorable feminine opinion of any
thing they are wearing means its in
stant disuse. Perhaps IL men and wo-
men alike more freely expressed them
selves in fashion journals from time 70

The resignation of the superintendent
and matron of the Girls Industrial
Home at Delaware probably relieves
Governor Nash of the duty of reogan-
izing that institution. The investiga-
tion by a committee of the board OF
State Charities of the death at the
Girls Home OF an inmate named Nora
Ferris in 1900, proved that neither Cap
tain Stiles, the superintendent, nor his
wife, who was matron, had taken nee
essary steps to get at the truth, and
while the superintendent and mstron
were not charged with participation in
the cruel treatment which led to the
Ferris girls death, they were censured
for apparent negligence in not ascer-
tanning the facts after the girls death
had been reported 10 them. The trou-
BILE appears to have been that an attend
ant was placed in control OF some OF
the inmates who was entirely untitled
for the discharge of her duties. The
superintendent and matron had TO take
the responsibility for that condition OF
affairs, and their resignation solves
the problem which confronted the
Governor.-Cleveland Leader.

seeing Irving In one OF his great char
acters. II chanced that after being
present at the first night Of Ravens

had occasion to post on to Edinburgh
to chronicle the proceedings in the
penultimate Midlothian campaign. At
dinner on the night Of my arrival l
had the good fortune to find myself
seated next to Mr.. Gladstone. says a
writer In Chambers Journal.
It was time Of great storm and
stress in the political world. Mr.. Glad
stone was leading the attack upon the
government which resulted In its de-
feat at the general election two years
later. When he heard that had been
at the first night OF "Ravenswood." all
other topics were set aside. He over
whelmed me with a torrent OF ques-
tions as to how Irving had worked out
particular episodes.
I remembered he was particularly
anxious to know how the final scene,
where the hat of the drowned Ravens
wood Is found forlorn on the sands,
was staged. He told me that of all
Scott's novels he most admired ''The
Bride Of Lammermoor."

June 2, 1902.
Our vacation plans were interrupted
by the cholera scare, and very few had
a chance TO leave the island. l spent
two weeks in Iloilo, three teaching in
the Capiz Normal school, four among
the mountains Of Dumaros, and now I
am at home for couple OF weeks be-
fore school opens. am at present agi-
tating the remodeling of my school
building. and trying to teach the ma
tives habits OF cleanliness. Since the
cholera has reached Samar and Leyts
extra precautions are being taken, and
Anne rican teachers have been asked to
act as members OF sanitary boards.
Panitan is ''muy alegre" tvery
merry at present. For the last two
days we have been having q kind OF a
jubilee. There Is u custom observed
here of singing to the flowers through
out the month OF May. A great many
pretty and sweet-scented flowers are in
bloom at this time, and an altar OF
flowers is erected in each house Of the
better class, before which altar six or
eight girls kneel and sing the flower
song. Some OF the altars are tastily
arranged, and the smoothness and sim
plicity OF the singing has q peculiarly
satisfying effect The month ends
with a grand jubilee and fiesta, such as
we are now enjoying. For the past two
days we have been having enough ex-
citement for a Fourth of July celebra-
