To change to the ever interesting
subject of clothes, can't help thinking
from the specimens l see on athletic
girls that the plated linen skirt is not
all 1t should be. 1t gets so mussy.
The plaits crumple this way and that,
especially after couple of hours
crouching on the deck of a sailboat. so
that the wearer looks anything but
neat. I am afraid the deliberately
plated skirt is only for prim city wear
and not for anything rougher than a
ride in ones cart or automobile. 1t
may do you some good, however to
know that there is n right and a wrong
way of plating a skirt: The right way
consists of having the plaits turn to-
ward the back. never toward the front
If they are turned toward the back they
will come together nicely; if 1t is the
opposite. direction there will be a space
to be accounted for filled with wrinkles
and crumplings. or else two box plaits
which Will forever hang out of line
as they are cut on the bias
With the ecru and white linen skirts
all the up to date girls are wearing
white or champagne colored shoes,
and. indeed nothing so spoils a costume
of snowy white as a pair of heavy
black shoes. The shoes are made verv
low, lacing only one or two holes and
they have medium heavy soles and mill
tary or French heels, according to
tastes.

| National Intelligencer, and created al
most as much excitement as Judge Par
kers telegram to the Democratic Con-
Vention.
The Convention mot at Baltimore on
the LIST of May. and the Hon. Watkins
Leigh made a most eloquent speech in
nominating Mr.. Clay for the Presiden-
cy, and before he had finished his
speech the Convention rose en- masse
and nominated Mr.. Clay by acclama-
ton.
Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.. Clay were
warm personal friends. Their opinions
on the annexation of Texas were the
same. and 1t was agreed between them,
while Mr.. Van Buren, was on visit
to Mr.. Clay at Ashland, that they
should each write a letter giving their
views in opposition to the annexation
of Texas, which should appear in the
National Intelligencer and The Globe,
the organs of the two parties. At the
time this agreement was made the
nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, was re-
garded as certain, but in consequence
of some political movements in the
Democratic Party, James X. Polk re-
ceived the nomination.
The election of Mr.. Clay was regard
ed as certain, but the publication of his
Alabama letter." as IL was called, late
in the canvass. so displeased the anti
slavery party that it withdrew it's sup
port from Mr.. Clay, and nominated
Mr.. James, G. Berney. who received
about $4,000 votes. which being with
drawn from Mr.. Clay, gave the State
of New York to Mr.. Polk, and elected
him to the Presidency.

Mr. Van Buren, had predicted. as re-
sulting from the annexation of Texas.

WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA.
Emancipation of the Sex Denounced N
Dangerous to the Country.
ChicaUo ChrnniclR

Dangerous to the Country.
Chicago Chronicle.
Australia has furnished the world
some lessons in mans tendency to fly
off the tangents and run into ex-
tremes that ought to be valuable.
Among these have been the fact of the
loss of a million In population within
the time since the labor unions have
had virtual or actual control of the
country-loss, that is to say, through
emigration of workers unwilling to sur
render their individuality to the un.
ions.
Along with this development of I'M
ionism in labor there has been note
worthy expansion in what II has been
the fashion to call the emancipation
of woman" With this is said to have
| come increased disinclination in the
sex toward marriage and a serious fall
ing off in the birth rate among those
who marry.
Against such condition reaction
was inevitable, and the reaction was
sure to be unreasonable In something
like the same degree as were the causes
for 1t. There is nothing surprising,
therefore. though there Is much that
is discouraging, to find in one of the
journals published in Sydney the fol-
lowing expression OF extreme views in
an dHtdBoHistlc ulreCtlOn. An INTEL
lectual woman" says this editor, us
an abnormality; she has the brain of
man in the body of a woman. Intel
lect in woman has so dazzled us by its
brilliance that we have failed to rec
ognize 1t as a disease, like genius in
man and the pearl in an oyster But
nevertheless 1t is a disease, and must
inevitably be the death of a race in
which 1t is fostered."
This is of course. an extreme OF re-
action. 1t is. as sueh.' symptomatic of
the diseased condition which has
spread in modern times and has borne
fruit In action, in England's remote col
onies especially, but is also noticeable
among us. 1t is not intellectually in
woman or man that Is, in itself. abnor-
mai. 1t is its development along with
neglect to develop the sense of moral
responsibility.
The cure is not in reducing the paL
TENTS intellectual activity, but In re-
storing her balance of character. Men
need something of the same curative
process.

HENRY CLAY AND PARKER.
Letter Of the One Like the Telegram
of the Other.

Washington Post.
A generally forgotten episode in our
political history has been recalled to
my mind by the action of Judge Par
ker in sending his now famous dispatch
to the st. Louis Convention
In 1874 the issue of that campaign
was the annexation of Texas 1t was
the predominant issue in the South,
where the extension of slave territory
was regarded as necessary to their
peculiar institution. Mr.. Clay, return
ing from a tour of the Southern States.
on reaching Raleigh. N. c., addressed
a letter to the National Intelligencer
dated April II. proclaiming his oppo-
sition to the annexation of Texas. Mr.
Parker's telegraphic dispatch did not
create more surprise than did the let
ter of Mr.. Clay. A day or two after
his letter was received Mr.. Clay ar
rived in Washing. and was waited on
by Mr.. Gales, who urged him to with
hold the letter from publication until
after the meeting of the Whig Con-
vention. which met in Baltimore on the
LIST of May, 1874. This Mr.. Clay re-
fused to do in so emphatic a manner
that Mr.. Gales returned to the office
and said Mr.. Clay had treated him
like schoolboy." Mr.. Seaton said he
would see him that afternoon. Mr..
Seaton returned from his interview
with Mr.. Clay. hardly less annoyed
than Mr.. Gales by Mr. Clay's persist
ence in the publication of the letter.

In the meanwhile the Hon. Reverdy

that their influence with Mr.. Clay
would induce him to withhold the letter
from publication until the adjournment
of the Convention at Baltimore.

mistake a growing sign of the times,
there will be worldwide league
against American millionaires, and the
sooner this comes about the better"
lust what the nature Of our English
contemporary's grievance may be we
are unable to determine. However Sc
rious the provocation, 1t is distressing
to see so staid a Journal working Itself
up to such high pitch of Indignation
and exercising itself over such a hope
less cause. The very suggestion of a
worldwide league against American
millionaires Is so absurd as to rob 1t of
any seriousness. particularly when the
source of the complaint is considered.
Ostracise American millionaires? What,
we should like to inquire, would be-
come of the titled gentry of Europe,
whose success in capturing the hands
and fortunes Of daughters of these self
sa me despised millionaires has been the
chief means Of keeping the family coat
of-arms out of the pawnshop? Think
of the arms of dukes and counts and
minor celebrities whose field of opera
lions would thus be circumscribed and
whose hope of relief would be elimi-
mated by the formation of such u
league.
The absurdity of such an agitation is
apparent to any one who will give the
matter a moments thought. The Amer
lean millionaire may be an aggressive
sort of fellow, with a weakness for ex-
tracing capital from his foreign rela-
lions and a penchant for extending the
scope of his operations to the utter
most parts of the world, regardless of
the fact that he may be invading ter
irtory that others had come to look
upon as theirs. 1t may be even his
presence in the select circles of Euro
pean society is not wholly desirable.
But to boycott him! Never, at least
not as long as he persists in rearing
daughters and providing them with in
dependent wealth whenever a title sue
ceeds in capturing them. Vive lie
American millionaire and his charming
daughter with her fondness for titles:

this field of operations by forming a
