INbRTISTIC DRESSING.
Il. Worth Deplores Lack Of Taste Which
Governs Some Women's Toilets.

The woman who is dressed by a really skilfUl
InodIste need never fear TO place herself entirely
IN his hands. says NJ Worth, OF Paris. But ap-
T7arer1y women trust their Ino1istes much less to-
tav than they did before dress became the ohses-
sion l. now is" as VI. Worth puts it In Harpers
Bazaar his arbter of dress describes one expert
ence with a woman who asked his OPINION but
preferred her Ought TO wear purple or
sreen2~ she implOTed him
Do YOU wish for my honest opinion, rladame?"
Your candid opinion. certainly; if you will"
Then madame I think your complexion is too
pale for green. Purple would suit you far better
Nevertheless. st is green he dresses her in, be
cause she does so much want it, and he sees
that that way only lies happiness for her His
care must be to secure the shade OF that viii
least Of all quarrel with her complexion, and
tone down its evil effect by putting some other
color near her skin.
Very different is Madame d, the Italian actress
Of worldwide fame Racked with illness as she
so often is, says VI. Worth and by the force Of
her intellect and the demands Of the parts she
plays she sometimes looks very frail and exhaust
cd To give her gowns that would increase that
appearance would be wrong: therefore. when her
preference is for color that viii not suit her. he
tells her the truth Madame, that makes you
look old and sad" And she Hiu thank him,
but says NJ Worth, few other women ADMIRE
such plain speaking.
This grea; actresses main choice is white which
is suitable for women Of all ages, from the cradle
TO the bier" says the modiste-
makes some interesting paragraphs Queen Alex
srdra is a born artist in dress he says. and then
she and her sisters from their earliest years,
were taught what becoming, by their mother,
the late Queen Of Denmark. Consequently she
never asks: VIII that be worm" ''Will this

majesty often gets charming ideas fro galleries
and museums NJ. Worth AIDES. No only has
ehe ideas. but SIZE has fingers that can carry
them out She often trims ner own hats and
makes root and branch alterations in even the
most recherche Paris mIlline-y.''
Queen Helena OF Italy loves soft blue-gray- The
young sovereign Of Holland Is always happiest
when the occasion admits OF her wearing trim
tailor-u1aGe gown
Carmen sylvia likes best 10 the flowing dra-
peries Of Rurnania, and long lace wells, fastened
with jewelled pins. The Empress Of Russia takes

more satisfactory subject for the rnodiste. She

THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY.

The famous Washington Artillery of
New Orleans, which won great renown in
the armies of the Confederacy, is asking
for recognition and financial assistance
from the Legislature. Refusing to be
Mathematical under the arbitrary Dick
Law, the Washington Artillery is purely
local organization, and offers it's services
to the State, and in case of war without the
State. We are not in favor of the big an
preparations annually made by the Legisla-
ture To the National Guard. which can be
ordered out of the State by the National
Government at any time to any State in
the Union. But as appropriations will
continue to be made, we think it right and
just that the claims of the old battle
SCARED heroes who have won eternal fame
for Louisiana should be literally recoo-
nlzed. Gentlemen of the General Assem-
bly,, not Louisiana alone, but every State
IN the South, is proud of the glorious rec
ord of the Washington Artillery. Give
the old boys the glad hand.

SENATE BILL NO. 6.

elsewhere we publish communication
from Senator Boggs who thinks injustice
was done him in an editorial in the Banner
last week. The Banner always tries to be
fair, and if We understand Senate Bill No.
no injustice was done any one.
Granting the State Superintendent
the authority to remove Parish Superin-
tendents at his sweet will, when there are
competent courts and juries in our State,
and every man is entitled to fair trial,
means one-man rule and nothing else. In
the language of that sturdy old Democratic
journal, the Shreveport Caucasian, under
the provisions of the bill, 'sthe people
would become mere figure heads, as all
power would be vested in the State Board"
commend SenatorBoggs most heartily
for his vote against the proposed State
Superntendent'ssa salary grab, butwe cannot
