DRESS MAKES THE WOMAN
DECLARES NINE. SlMONE

And to have taste costs woman
nothing. 1t is something that cannot
be bought with money, something that
each one of you. my. readers, may
have for the asking. II you will but
seek II out alone.
You must not think that II You
have been slighted by tickle fortune
you cannot dress with as much grace
as the woman OF unlimited wealth.
Shall | tell you a secret? Wealth
often destroys whatever taste woman
may have. She depends upon her dol
lars rather than her sense, The one
can never take the place of the other
in II womans clothes. In fact, it Is
the woman of small means who often
presents a more attractive appearance
than her sister. who is long on income
and short on ideas. The one thinks
for herself, the other allows hcr dress
maker to think for her.
Goodness knows ! am not depre-
eating the genius of some of the
nodistes. Without them great many
women would be lost, but to depend
entirely. upon the tnste of sone one
else ia fatal tn n woman's hest an
pearance.
The point which a great many of
us overlook and which many have
never learned is the suitability of
things. Why should any woman try
10 onnear 10 he something that she ia
nor? why should she ape the fash
ions or world which IA above or
below her own station? II ia a fault

Nine. Simone, a noted French ac-
tress. who is In New York preparing
to make her American debut, and who
has been called the best-dressed wom-
an on the French stage, has written
for Eastern papers series of stories
on dress. In this letter she declares
that II she were n man she would
choose a wife for her ability to dress
well rather than for her good looks.
This is what the diva said in part:

peacocks naturally; every charm they
possess is doubled when clothed in
expensive raiment. Their beauty,
which may have seemed an insipid

Such women should wear garments Of

WonderfuI Earrinas.

Few present day earrings surpass in

the young woman was buried. these
ornaments represented doves swinging
in golden hoops. The miniature birds
were marvelously wrought. the feath.

breasts enriched with bands Of color
supplied by inserted gems Precious
stones cleaned like tiny sparks for the
eyes. Daintiest device OF all, the tail
feathers were so finely made and curl
ously adjusted as to move at the slight
est motion of the pendent hoop, so that
whenever the proud wearer should toss
or shake her head her two attendant
doves would seem to balance them
selves upon their perches, as live birds
do In swinging on bough. They were
found by exploring archaeologlsts. The
daughters trinkets have survived as

cording to Mr.. Ralph Neville in Lon

How Clouds Are CoIored.

The color OF a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon 1t and the position of the OBJ
server. 1t will be noticed that high
clouds are always white or light In
color, and this is because the light by
which they are seen is reflected from
the under surface by the numberless
drops Of moisture which go to form
the cloud. Heavy rain clouds, on the
other hand, are found much nearer the
earth, and so the light falls on them
more directly from above. giving a
silver lining to the cloud. though the
under surface appears black, owing
to the complete reflection and absorp-
ton of the light by the upper layers.
Seen from above by an observer in
a balloon the blackest rain clouds ap.

A Curious Will
From Chambers, Journal.

From Chambers Journal.
 A famous French marquis left queer will. To M. Boussey he left his blessing to compensate him for the curses which a neighbor appeared to have heaped upon him every day. with the pious hope that the said blessing might be useful to the recipient on the judgment day. In an- other clause he withdrew legacies or con siderable amount left to two friends oy . former will because they had so fre- quently proclaimed the testator as man who would cut farthing into four pieces, adding that he would on no account be the means of obliging them to alter thelr opinion.
 One of the old soldiers of the guard located in the Invalides received the hand some annuity of 29.000 francs from the circumstance that one day while on guard at the Pont des Arts he had paid the toll Of halfpenny for the marquis, whose shabby attire had led the old soldier to esteem him in need of charity. The final clause of this singular will read: 1T leave to my relatives oblivion, to my friends ingrattude and my soul to God. Regarding my body, it belongs to my family vault"

In this instance We find somewhat of the foun- dation of that English sympathy with the southern Confederacy the evidences or which survive in the tale of the cruiser Alabama and in other things of great comfort to southern people.
 The Neale publishing company, in 12 short years, beginning in the feebleness of limited resources and without a name, Is doing good work for the south even beyond the seas. Had the same work been done prior to the generation of Neale, who may prophecy what Yancey, and Slidell and Mason might have done in Europe as diplomats of the confederacy! It is enough to say here that the works of southern authors relating to the south, published by the Neale house, have been given a remark able quantity of space in the favorite journals of literary criticism of London. The Graphic, the Athenaeum, the Acad- emy, the Spectator, all delight to review these books as rare exhibitions of Amer ican literary achievement.

thence to Boston. From Niagara she came to Baltimore. Oh. this country is of two parts! The prince consort was an abolitionist; the queen waS an abo- litionist. Miss Murray, an abolitionist, had talked in this country with aboli- tonists. Letters to a gentleman of Bal timore preceding her arrival, had caused his carriage, accompanied by a negro butler, to meet the stranger at the rail
 road station. The negro butler ap- preached Miss Murray with the manners of the buffers at home. Could such man be slave. At the door negro maid met Miss Murray to show her to her chamber Presently at dinner, the tourist met a goodfy company. The very atmosphere was, not Bostonese, but English high life. There was no bell clapper tone to the voices of the com pany. These were English people. On to Washington. There the southern so- ciety was dominant, and Miss Murray entered it by instinct. She travelled southward, to Richmond. to Charleston, and went with Governor Aiken over his sea- island plantations seeing the slaves by the thousand at labor. She came on to Mobile. to New Orleans, and to Texas The printed volume of her pri- vate letters to England, correcting mis- taken views held there of the slaves and the masters of the south, offended the queen The maid of honor, the true, steadfast friend of the queens youth and her power, left the court to take up her residence on a farm.

Where, Horses Trot Upstairs to Bed

From the New York World.
 More horses are stabled and bedded down on floors than anywhere else i1 New York, in which respect they are made to follow the custom of humans. Horses actually ''trot upstairs to bed' like the little folk in the home. In some of the large stables a bell is hung in tae morning, which the stable hands know means feeding time. This, too. suggests the breakfast bell in the home. Horses, like children. as well grownups, do not come downstairs until they have had their hair brushed, and in many well kept stables hoof polish is applied before horses are sent out for the day.
 Horses, like the owners, find silence and darkness good combination for the night In stable where there are noise and bright lights horses keep on their feet longer than they do under the other condition. When a horse doubles his legs under him and droops his head he begins to rest right away. His eyes close naturally.
 There are stables where whistling, sing ing and even talking are prohibited after bedtime. These stables are as quiet as the upper floors of some hotels.

 I have said that young Neale in his 18th year carried q family of eight per sons to Washington city to be supported in comfort by the work of his pen. and that ne succeeded without delay. Since then he has written exhaustively, and his writing has been on the highest plane. To select those books that appeal to my own sympathies first. I would name the correlated three studies, Home Rule," 'Treaties," and 'The Sovereign ty of the States" I doubt if there are great number of men in all America cabinet the connection of facts and events set forth in these books, which.
 eVertheless, are essential to a just ap- precaton of the foundations of Ameri- can government. The reader is startled by the disclosures of long neglected facts.
 The historical novel, "The Betrayal" i" has been so widely reviewed In the south that special notice of it may be omitted here. Suffice it to be said, it is a power full portrayal of the history of Virginia for some 20 years, 1s70-1s9O. when the forces of darkness strove perilously strong with the spirit of Virginia.
 MT. Neale but now is entering upon the time of life that men begin their work. We of the south should be not slow to know of him as a friend who is needed.
