THE MODERN ENGLISH WOMAN.
Follows Styles More scrupuIOusIy
 Than a Partisan.

At one tine the Englishwoman had reDutItion-and the comfort of hay ing by it rightfully-as the worst dress ed woman in Europe or America; ac- cordinE to the law of fashion, the most practically dressed. according to the law of common sense. And now? She observes the mode more Scrupulously than the Partisan, and is eager to make amends for the crimes of her ill-dress- ed past. I do not mean that she can as yet rival the Parisian; it is not in her nature to, but she devotes her en- ergies to the attempt with such zeal that she rushes to the other extreme. anticipating the hours and their oblga- tons, she appears at high noon in gowns that, in the previous phase she would have reserved for dinner She shops in chiffon and muslin. She faces the winters cold in lace, and the sum- mcr's deluge in slippers and open work stockings. The nest abOminable Cli- mate in the world cannot check her ambition. nor the dirtiest town put a restraint upon her fritolity. There was 2 time when it was the AmericaV who was supposed to be the foolish one. iu- duIging in a perpetual round of dia- monds and silks. Now, if in Bond street CT P'Ccadily you see Q useful tailor gown, neat linen skirt, stout well made boots. you may know the wearer for on American.

Georgetown Dsrky Divine Preached
 From Unusual Tex
 Tn and around quiet old George town there are a good many goats, and they furnished a coIored divine a text for his sermon recently. The exDnunder of the gospel told his flock that in many instances they were even infer for to the brute creation in their treat ment Of each other: that they Were not as thoughtful and considerate as the goat. He then told Of two goats he Lad seen meet on the narrow bridge and one luy down and let the other jump over him. Yes that is what they did said the colOreI parson, and there was no jawing about giving the right of Way; no talk Of breaking heads and police courts. If it had been two of you men who met on that oTidge one would have showed the other off. and there would have been trouble sure. You can learn lesson from the goats. Let us live like the goat brethren. .''--Washington Post.
