Good Form in Dress.

The young girls who arrive in troops
to receive" at the coming-out tea
of n debutante friend invariably wear
white frocks, with the bodice cut high
and with long sleeves. Swathed to the
throat and wrist are they in fine
French muslin, chiffon or openWork
ambroideries. You no longer see
single young girl receiving at an after
noon reception with her frock cut out
at the throat. The low bodice has COM
pletely vanished from our drawing
rooms before dinner, and we now copy
the customs Of English cousins who
used to look establishment at the deml-
toilet and low-cut bodices once worn
by American girls at afternoon teas.
It is quite true that the young girls
have left in the dressing room a parcel
or suit case, containing low evening
bodice. but it will not be assumed until
toward 8 o'clock. White frocks, cut
high and long and buttoned in the
back, are the regulation wear this
season. It is certainly the most ap
prOprlate QrCSS Tor young SlIl.

bushes are started. Certain branches
of the gooseberry tend to fall upon me

or early spring one looks about the
bushes he will find such branches.
They may be cut loose from the parent

has the least bit of root will grow and

thought one of the worst evils that can

to an extreme degree by a wealthy

Chaplain. In order to avoid the up

opinion death might cause he had a
little chapel built over the family burial
place and so arranged that he could
use 1t every day as a sitting-room.
He used to spend in it the early hours
Of the afternoon reading his paper

The Important Art of Manicure.

list of necessary instruments:

Educated Woman and Matrlmony

The London School Board makes
official complaint that 1.-THE average
professional life Of the women teach
ers is only eleven years, because of
the havoc wrought by matrlmony
among this remarkably attractive
class of the community. New York
and other cities have called on the
courts to compel a woman teacher
to give up her school as soon as she
marries. Chicago comtemPlates
requiring all teachers TO sign a
pledge that they will not marry
during the school year. The Agrl-
cultural College of Colorado reports
that it educates girls for teachers
and then they marry as soon as
they are graduated. The Govern
ment is trying to discourage matrl-
mony by discharging the guilty
woman employee.
One class mourns because edu-
eating women will destroy their
taste for marriage, another class
grieves because the educated Wom-
en- insist on marrying; a third class
insists that going into business will
make a woman so upattractlve that
she cannot marry, and fourth de-
clares that she shall be punished IT
she does. Oh, the joy, the indepen-
dence, in being a mau, for in his
coniugal affairs the world neither
cares nor dares to meddle.

FREEZING WEATHER
To the North, With Snow. Next
Month.
Five Stormy Periods Predicted fol-
Storms Of Rain and
Snow, and Heavy FrOsts.

October weather, as summarized
from Hicks forecast will be as fol,
lows:
A reactionary storm disturbance
lis central on the 2nd and Sd, at
which time will appear a decided
change to warmer, with falling ba-
rometer and other indications OF
autumnal storms.
Heavy equinoctial storms in the
South are probable about 5th to
Sth.
A sweeping high barometer and
stiff gales from the northwest,
bringing frost to freezing north
ward, are quite probable toward
the end of the above disturbances;
but the regular storm period, run
ming from the 9th to 18th, may so
prolong storm conditions from about
the 5th, as to retard the high ba-
rometer and change to colder,
untilafter the elimination of
the regular storm period
central on the 9th. Look out for
early and heavy sleet northward.
The l4th, 18th and 10th are reac-
tionary storm days, on which there
Will come progressive change to
warmer, with falling barometer,
cloudiness, rain. and pos
sible snow in the north and west.
The next regular storm period is
central on the both. covering the
18th to the BIRD. The moon is again
on the celestial equator on the 10th,
and new on the both. A decided
change to warmer, with falling ba-
rometer, Will appear in the west
early in the period, say ABOUT the
18th, and these conditions will move
eastwardly, followed by growing
and storms of rain
and wind during the 18th to 22ud.
Do the west aud northwest tangents
)t these storm areas look for much
colder winds and weather, with
early snow very probable north of
he middle states. Very cool to
cold, frosty nights may be expected
after these disturbances, touching
most parts OF the country, progress
Ively, from about the 2lst to the
oath.
The 25th and 26th are central
days of reactlonary storm move
ments, on and about which may be
expected change to warmer, with
falling barometer and more storms
OF rain, turning 10 snow in the
north, as the rising barometer
presses forward behind the low
area. Cool, frosty nights may be
after these latest disturb
ances, up 10 the enc of the month.
