Sew Youk, Nov. 6.—A Parisian novelist has described the interior of a great dry-goods house, its piles of soft and shining fabrics, the Bashing of Its many colors, the infinite variety Of its allurements, in strong terms, but it is a question if it is too strong, when the dissipating effect of such Invish display upon the minds of the young aud easily Influenced Is considered. Nor are the strietures applicable to Paris alone; they are equally suited to New York—more true, indeed, for the confusion is greater here, the Intrinsic merit less and the waste Ineom- rably more,and more widely distributed. aking a genetal view of the ‘great shops and thor- tered goods stem to be purchased alike by the @mine them more closely, and one finds he Iauech of them. is sham, “pressed” designs, mna- chine embroidery, course tinsel, applique work unfinished upon the edges, everything done for effect and to imitate something that bas real value.

PROBLEMS IN ECONOMY —A STUDY IN STRIPES, It is pitiable to see in this wild confusion of design and material the utter bewilderment of | ‘women whose means and knowledge ot ways and methods are both limited; nor Is there any source from which they can obtain enligiten- ment, One can only have a thing well done by a very high price for it, The ordinary woman cannot pay a high price, and here problems are always presenting ‘themselves ‘afresh and forever remaining unsolved.

Stripes are, proverbially hard to manage, par- tieularly when they are wide and solid and far apart. They arc obstinate as well as aggressive; ‘are worse than a fenc like wail which you can over nor ride around.

AUTUMN SEYLES-SUPERB AMERICAN BRO- CADES, Some autumn designs of home as well as fore eign manufacture may, however, be found sug- gestive and interesting, and there is one fact in connection with one of these which is worth re- cording. Beautiful and rich and varied as are the brocaded stuils which come trom France, the finest and most lovely in color and design which [have seen abroad or at home 4s of American manufacture. It was made for hang- ings, and the groundwork is a wouder‘ully deli- cate'mixture ot pale blue and gold. “Upon tix ‘are short, double strings of smali coins, exeeated in mixed threads of gold and silver, sometimes one and sometimes the other preponderating, but always inwrought in the groundwork, and the general tone equalized by threads of gold and silver in the spaces, so that the design is never obvious, as if merely de- Poslted upon. the surface, design is made ja several different combinations of color, but one that produce so charming an effect as that described, hb intended for hangings, ‘would make a beautiful dress in the style worn by Elten Terry in the first act of the “Merchant of Venice” and by Miss Anderson in the first apd last acts of “As You Like It” One dress has indeed been ordered by one of the most ele- gant women in New York eity, but it will have a front of satin embroi ‘with silver and old, and be more conventionalized than the styles indicated as worn by the two great artists, it may be said that stage dressing would not suit the drawing-room, bus that depends upon the kind of dressing we fiud..npon the stage: in the instances mentioned ‘the styles are abso- ore used than any other one material. nife” ‘The flects in braiding obtained by setting rial and very grace | narrow cord-like braid upon edge, and which e; but this | were ed. and made only for a| Probabl dress, cost a hundred and twenty-five | jron by hionable last year, have subsided. ‘one reason is the necessity of sewing hand, or purchasing @ special and re- | cently invented attachment to a sewing ma- ‘The latest development in stripes is in solid | Chine toc . ute it.

Plumes of lovely, rled ostrich feathers are neglected or sold for asong, while the rage for the wings of the barn- yard fowl, such as are used in the country for “hearth dusters,” continues. CORDUROY—ORNAMENTS OF “ARIZONA WooD.” Corduray is still used, the grey being gen- erally preferred, and buttons ' old (oxydized) silver, with carved heads upon them, constitut- ing the ornaments. The finish, however, is very tine, silk linings being used’ and the Best tallorstitching. Its use is also nearly limited to little boys and jackets for ladies; skirts of | corduroy haying been found heavy and un- adaptable. There are « great variety of new elasps, buttons and other ornaments, in old silver, bronze carved wood and rendissance styles, which combine wrought metal with antique carved heads, and small Rbine stones, turquoises, Indiau or Bohemian garnet, tiger cyes,_moonstones, cat's eyes and agates, In this connection may also be mentioned the sibilities suggested by a novel display of articles aude from “azate” and “Jaspar” woods, ob- lained from Arizona, agd “agatized” or “jas- parized” by the action of minerais in the Soil and water surrounding embedded trees, and perbaps precipitated vy voleanieaction.

At present the ornamental articles are confined to sleeve buttons, beads, “Queen Anne’ chains (the short watch-chains now so. fashtonable) and & few others of semi-use and ornament. ‘The material for these {s sent to Oberstein to be cut, but with the resources in Arizona, from which this is derived, a manutacturing estab- lishment will doubtiess shortly be equi here which will develop the possibilities of thls extraordinary material and expend upon the fine worsmanship which adds so. mnee to the xalue of stinilar productions in Europe.

SCOTCH SPECIALTIES AND INDIA SHAWLS, Other quite new and very attractive things which come under the same category are Scotch specialties, and consist of grouse claws mounted with silver and set in the small hoof like end with a stone. ‘These are used for shawl and cloak fastenings, and also for hat ornaments, though they are two dollars and upwards each.

They are admir- able for any and all of these purposes, as they are 80: and durable, and can be cleaned as often as needful without deterioration. SANITARY GARMENTS. Among letters of inquiry recently received are several in regard to the possibilities of “sanitary” dress, and exactly what we possess as a substitute for garments which are held by a band around the waist. In Germany there has been a distinet movement recently, in favor of sanitary clothing. Dr. Jaeger, of Stuttgart, has invented a complete dress of wool, the va- rious articles comprising which are ‘adapted both to men and women, and any separate art- fles of which can, be used in place of those ord- inarlly employed, if on trie! they are found benefictal. The stockingette material, as it ap pears in the garments, Is fine, exquisitely soft 4nd woven in the nataral tints of the wool. It is made in combination undergarments for men and for women, In separate vests and drawers, in hosiery, both socks and long stockings, in nightrobes, in gloves, in jackets, in skirts and even in trowsers, This dress claims to be acure and preventative of rheumatism and a remedy for many ills arising from insufMicient, impro- per and unequal garments. It is possible for a man or woman to dress entirely in “Jaeger” clothing, if they wish to do so, or they may cover the whole surface of the body with. it bi adopting the underwear and hosiery and add- ing the gloves for the street. The shapes and making of the underwear could hardly be im- proved. The vests and combinations do not open in front, but upon the shoulders, and are double over the chest, the garments for ladies are finished at the neck with a nar- row woollen lace, the natural shade of the wool and matching the vest or combination. The workmanship is very neatly executed. The light weight, softness, purity of the tints and un- shrinkable quality of the material, renders the garments very pleasunt wear, while their ‘warmth and comfort adapts them well to our cold northern, eastern and western regions. In Stuttgart the prices are low, about three dollars for ‘a suit, including combination gare ment, or the two separate pleces composing a suitand one pair ‘Of hose. itis not necessary, of course, to buy these last and without them the cost would be about two dollars and a half. ‘This, considering the special character, quality and heatness of the articles, 1s very low. What the price would be here it is impdssibie to tell, our American combination garments (we have none equal to the “ r”’ in softness and finish,) are from five to six dollars each, and @ find ribbed garment made to fit ‘more neatly than others and with the sleeves cut and sewed in and the neck finished with a narrow edgeing of lace, is seven dollars and a half. ‘Aa yet the “Jaeger” woolen clothing has not, I believe, tound its way to this country, except in small quantities by, private hands, “Tt is sent to England, and is highly appreciated there. Franee has none of it, but it is none the less a true benefaction and marks a great advance In the practice of medicine when a scientific phy- sician devotes his knowledge and energies to adding a permanent contribution to the sani- tary and preventative resources of mankind, Tt is not now necessary for women to wear any gpemene fastened by a belt or band about he waist, A woolen “combination” covers the body from throat te ankles, over this 1s worn a corset or corset waist, tothe sides of which are attached the stocking suspenders, Over this a combined chemise and drawers is placed, which also serves as corset cover, and then a very short flannel skirt, attached toa deep single yoke, the yoke one-third the depth of the whole skirt. Above the flannel another all wool skirt may be worn, with a deep yoke at- tachment, or its place may be taken by full trowsers (a divided skirt) to match the dress. There is nothing particularly new in this arrangement of the clothing, except the “trowsers.” A number of ladies both in and out of the great cities, have been wearing the gar- ments as indicated formany years, and have found their difficulties lessened and their com- fort increased by so doing. The principal obstacle is the cost of “combination” underwear and the necessity for still further improve- ment in {is styleand manufacture. The raw material is so much cheaper in this country than elsewhere, that it would seem sible to manutacture'it at a cost which would not practi- cally put It out of the power of every wile and daughterota workingman to dress warmly, healthfally and conveniently. JENNY JUNE. ‘soo Her Gayety Led to » Duel. A YOUNG CHAMPION OF AN ALABAMA GIRL SHOT BY MAJOR WYLEY. Gadsden, Ala. Special to the N.Y. World, Nov. 3. Miss Nettie Latham is one of the most beaut!- ful girls in this county, and is a member of an exclustve family and a leader in society. About two weeks ago a handsome young com- mercial traveler named Stump, representing oneof theleading grain and provision houses of 4 Chicago, came to Gadsden. His pleasing ad- dress made him many friends, and among the number was Major J. H. Wyley, a wealthy grain dealer, prominent throughout North Ala- bama. In the course of a conversation Wyley incidentally mentioned toStump that he would find Miss Latham, ® most agreeable acquaint. ‘ance, and vaguely hinted at the faint whisper- ings which her gayety had provoked. jump on the foliowing day sent a note to Miss Latham, asking the privilege of calling. He made an insulting insinuation and signed the missive “An Orphan.” Miss Latham sent for J. D. Young, who has been paying her de- ‘voted aitention, and read him the contents and demanded that’he administer a proper chas- tisement on Stump. Young was furious. Ho found Stamp playing billiards at the Kittrell house. Young w: up deliberately, jerked out his pistol and aiming at Stump's head pulled the tigger, but a young man who was stand- ing by threw up Young's arm as he fired and the bullet 1 in the celling. Stump rashed on bis assailant, but before he could fire again he was disarmed and fuir-play de- manded. Young denounced Stump as a villain who attempted to ruin Miss Latham. Stump realized his position and explained to Young that he knew nothing whatever concerning the lady, that he was a stranger and acted solely on information given him by a reputable citizen. “Will you give me the name of your inform- antf” demanded young. “Certainly,” replied Stump. “Then I femand it,” Young answered. “Fis name 1s Major Wyley.” Young demanded that Stump accompany him to Major W yley's and make the stateinont in the Major's presence. Stump agreed, and the two proceeded to Major Wyley's risidence, When they entered they found the venerable gentleman sitting at his desk. He is on the shady side of sixty, of commanding presence and undoubted o . As Young entered he sald: “Major W yley, this man says he wrote an inswiting note to Miss Latham on information Given by you, Do you acknowledge it?” Major yley looked the questioner straight in theeye and replied: “I told him only what was town talk, end can stand by it,” Young demanded that he make a pubile retraction, and Wyley coolly responded, “I am an old man, past sixty, while you are young, powerful and active, “i warn, not to lay the weight of your fingeron me. I will not retract anything, and if you want satisfaction, by = We will shoot it out here at ten “¥ Young muttered some- thing about seeing him again and leit the 80. ‘A day passed, and on the following mornin; Wyigy, while slanding on the public square, saw Yo ing. Young came up an exclaimed, “demand that you take’ beck what you said concerning Miss Latham.” Wyley said he would take back nothing. Young then struck him a stinging biow in the temple, Which knocked him dewn, but as he rosa" hé Hed out his pistol afid fired at bis assailant. roung by this time had also drawn bis weapon and a duel at short range ensued.

Some lovers of good novels who enjoy their favorites without stopping to classify them, may Msten to the current disputes about the snalytical fiction of tne day, and have the while a quite vague notion of the peculiar style indicated by the term. Better than any defini- tion is @ tangible example. Happily here is one from a writer in “Lippincott's” which is Just sulted to the occasion. First the old fashioned novel of incident which said what it had to say and moved on: OLD STYLE. “Do you always choose such an early hour as this for your daily rambles?” he asked. “ Not always,” she said, “but very otten.” “And is it because the freshness of the morn- ing tempts you out, or ‘because you like to be lone? arioiather think it is because I like to be lone, “Then for once you have failed of yonr ob- ject.

SEW STYLE, He watched her for a moment in silence, wondering curiously whether the faint increase of color in her face was due to his unexpected ‘rance. When he spoke at Inst there was a aicertain constraint in voice and tisaner as though back of his apparent cordiality there lurked sundry misgivings as to the wisdom ot his present course, and a sense of irritation at the failure of his own nature to grasp com: pletely the subtile organizatton of his com- nion, | “Do you always choose such an ear! jour as this for your dally rambles?” he asked, studying with a halt-tender scrutiny the irregu- lar, sensitive face before htm. ‘Tue girl faltered, and raised her evesto meet his glance.

There was a touch both of defiance and of expectation in the quick turn of her head and the gleam of her halt-shut eyes. “I rather think it is because I like to be alone,” she said at length.

From the Denver Tribune. If there is anything characteristic of Ameri- ans of which they are more proud than any other, itis the courtesy which the men who are natives of this country exhibit towards women, and the respect which the gentler sex receives in public. This is a trait of the Ameri- can character of which Americans are justly proud, and in which they doubtless excel the people of any other country. But while this is arue of the men, it isa matter to be deeply re- gretted that ay much cannot be said of the Women ot this country. American Women are justly renowned for their beauty, their vivacity and the many charms of manner and conversation which make them attractive to men of all nations, ‘Loo much cannot be sai@for their high moral character, for it can be more truly sald of the women of America than of those of any other nation that the “hearts of their husbands do safely trust in them.” Ivis true also that in their deportment to men of their acquaintance American women are, as a rule, most courteous and polite, But after all this 1s said in their favor an observing person cannot fail to admit that it is true that American women seem very generally to be prompted in their conduct in public by a spirit of selfishness which very often finds expression in acts of positive rude- ness, This deplorable defect may not be more nounced in American men than it isin women of other nationalities, but we believe it is. We believe also that itis very largely due to the fact that in this country women are so enerally treated with marked courtesy b; men, Americun women have learned to lool upon this courteous treaiment as a matter of course. They look for it as a thing which ts their due, and have thus lost sight of their re- ciprocal obligations with reference to it, If any man fails to show them this respect, which all American gentlemen freely admit their due, they resent it asa wrong. It is a compli- ment to the men of America that the women ot this country do consider that they are wronged when there is any neglect to show them courtesy, but it is a disgrace to American women that tor this courtesy there is so fre- ‘The truth of this is seen every day upon the streets of Denver, as well as of other American cities. It is seen in street cars, upon railway trains and in places of public resort. In ugly Weather, when the streets are muddy, it is no uncommon thing to see two women, walking side by side upon a crossing, force some man whom they meet to make ‘way for them by stepping out into the mud. Neither of the women in this case seems to feel herself to be under any obligation whatever to step behind her companion 80 as to let the man have one of the,walks. Possibly the women have not seen that the man has stepped off of the crossing into the mud, or if they have they do not care, They think that it was nothing more than he was bound to do, and so they pass on in their selfish disregard ot his discomfort, and heed- Jess of the fact that they have been very rude, This is but an illustration of the truth in what we have said of the Impoliteness of Amer- ican women, It is also frequently illustrated in such @ place as the post office. Men often stand patiently at the letter or stamp window, waiting until women are served who have come into the office long after them. It is ex- ccedingly rare that women ever think of walt. ing under such circumstances, ifthe men are strangers tothem. The impoliteness shown by women to men in street cars is almost prover- Dial. ‘This is a great discredit to our American women, and their rudeness to strangers of their own sex 1s probably more marked than their lack of politeness to men. Better that It should be so than that there should ever de- velop in American men failure to show the utmost respect to women. ‘Any American gen- ieman would unite with’ us in saying that the utmost courtesy should be shown to women on all occasions, whether they show a proper ap- preciation of it or not. But, nevertheless, American women have in this inatter lesson to learn. ——+o-_____ Two Famous Lawn Tennis Players. The following description of the Renshaw brothers, the famous lawn tennis champions of England, oceurs in an illustrated article on English lawn tennis players, by J.J. Ross, in Outing for November: The brothers are twins, almost twenty-five ears of age, natives of Leamington, England. ‘hey ‘arse began laying lawn tennis at Chel- tenham about elght years ago, Both the Ren- shaws are men of slight build, medium height with brown hair of medium darkness, ‘an with small light brown mustaches. ‘The Kenshaws are not engaged in any bust- ness or profession; in fact, are gentlemen of leisure, though they do not “spend ee ying lawn tenis,” as has onen eon nase) ‘fo the above I may add the information ined from other sou! that Erne = Seaw is cousidored one of the pattie eens est jumpers in England, When at school heex- celled all his mates in athletic spo: and since then has made a running jumpor 21 feet, Win, Renshaw’s height is 5 feet 0 inches, and he welghs 146 lbs., while Ernest Renshaw is D fect 10% Inches in eight, and weighs 160 tbs, Both the Renshaw brothers are justiy re- garded as very superior men in all atiiletic pur- Suits, William Charles, who, to most observ. ers, seems older than his brother, is by. some good judges credited with the wrénger intellt- ence, or, as one famous lawittennis player Said to me in answer to the question, “Walch do you consider the stronger player ofthe two brothers?” —“I believe that one is Just as good & lawn-tennis player as tho other, but when it comes to a tight place in a match ‘William Hen- sbaw’s su} for judgment gi tage over hisbrother” Vee him an advan- ————~rer—__ How Royalty Honors Genius.

S. S. SCROFULA OF LUNGS, ‘Tam now 49 years old, and have suffered for the last 15 years with a lung trouble. I have spent thou- sands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; but temporary rellef was all that I obtained. Iwas unfit for any manua! labor for several years. A Sfriend strongly recommended the use of Swift's Specific (8. 8.S),claiming that he himself had been greatly bene- fited by its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try it ‘The resulta are remarkable. My cough has left me, my strength has returned, and I weigh 60 pounds more than ever didin my life, It has been three ‘years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have haduo return of the disease,and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs, I do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel as wel: as Tever felt since Iwas boy.
