Mr. Carlyle was not so un- lant as to suggest that a barbarous in- stinct for personal decoration was at the bottom of women's desire for new clothes. His was a philosophy of tailoring rather than dressmaking and millinery. He re- served women's wardrob 1 umu- lutions of finery for the learned Teufels- drockh of the researches of another generation. Possibly the learned Teufels- drockh ot the future will find the solution of this mystery in a strange tr: ction which has recently occurred in Paris. A French lady of distinction, who re- cently died in that city, left behind so great a stock of apparel that her exe- cutors despaired of disposing of it among o large circle of relatives and acquaint: ances. They had a complete inyentory made of the wardrobe, and then sold it piece by piece at auction. It comprised seventy magnificent costumes of silk, plush velvet satin and other materials; fifteen mantles trimmed with rare furs; innumerable dressing-gowns, paletots, riding-habits’ jackets, etc; seventy pett coats, and silk, piush and satin~ unde: clothing in enormous quartit; arly three hundred pocket-handkerchiefs; one hundred and sixty five pairs of stocking; sixty pairs of shoes; forty pairs of gar- ters; one hundred bonnets or hats; ten mufls; forty umbrellas and parasols, and other articles in similar profusion. It was not a lot of old clothes. Everything was new and fresh and of the finest quality; and the entire wardrobe, while it when at a great sacrifice' brought over $32,000. Its original cost was estimated at 8ix or seven times as much, The sale seems to have excited great interest in is among both sexes, the inventories being extensively advertised and commented upon. Varlous lectures on women's extravagance have been read by acrid journalists, but the sale on the whole was regarded as beneficial for the interests of the gentler six, since it enabled wives to contrast their own modest possessions with the wardrobe of a well known lady of fashion, und to claim for themselves considerable talent for economy. 1t was reserved, however, for M. Pillet in the Devats to draw the Philosophical deduction that the extent of the wardrobe indicated that the de- ceased leader of fashion had collected clothes very much as wise men collect paintings, etchings, autographs, books, gews, portraita, coins or postage stamps. ghu had not worn one out of forty of her lavish purchases, and evidently had not acquired them from any sense of need or to sausfy what Mr. Carlyle styled “‘the decorative instinet” of the human family. She simply followed the bent of her mind as a collector of new and beautiful ob- jects. If she was in any sense a_type of er sex, the suggestiow is one which may explain many mysteries of the boudoir and closet, It may resolve what vulgar prejudice has condemned as wauton ex- truvagance into the common practice known among men as ‘“‘making collec- tions.” Certainly if men are wise in their generation when they gather to- ether antiquities of all sorts, women in their turn may be pardoned if they rank also as collectiors of prevailug costumes und mode, Female Gum-Chewe Chew! Chew! Chew! It has become & national habit, and he or she who has not a mouthful of gum or tobacco upon which the energies are expended in as exception. In social gatherings, on the street-ear, at public entertainments, it in the same everlasting wagging of the chin. Wax figues of the people of the resent will made, a thousand years rom now, with a perpetual-motion ma- chine hidden ~ in the mouth to keep the jaws moying in order to be a realistic representa tion, The figure would be a earlicature. Happy is the gum-manufacturer in this day and generation, for the ery is atill for more of his products. Refined women can rival the most inveterate tobacco-chewers in their power of chew- mg. Like the flowing of Tennyson's “Brook,"” their jaws wag on “forever." Some English Women's Work, Enghsh women in this generation have done some rather remarkable work it must be confessed. Mrs. Leonowens, Catherine Macquoid, Lady Brassey, and Lady Anne Blunt, have all acquired a reputation for adventurous travel, to- gether with a number of others. In political conomy Mrs. Fawcett has made an enviable name. so _has Mrs. sreen in history; and so‘has Miss Mar- tineau in both history and political econ- omy. In philosophical thought Franc Power Cobbe has achieved distincti Mrs. Jameson, Lady Eastlake, Mrs, Haweis, and Lydia Scott, are only a few of the names that are widely known in the realm of art criticism, as Elizabeth Thompson, of the *'Roll Call,” and Kate Greenaway, are but two instances of s large number who~ b used their pencil and brush scceptably im wt itsell. Unly three or four One of men of England have excelled the work of George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte,” Amelia B._ Edwards, Anne Thackeray, and Miss Yonge in the writ- ing of novels; the 1ast, through the youth of her readers, having an especially wide influence.

Women who have been able to accomplish so much with crip- pled means and methods of education and habit have a right to expect that their suceessors, to whom the royal paths have at last been opened, shall accom- plish a great deal wmore. Parasols for Summer. Parasols for spring and summer wear are large, long-handled and this season show ten goid or silver pointed ribs. The fabrics of which parasols are con- structed are of every sort of materi: used for dress, showing models in s plaided and striped velvet, colored net vlain green palm designs on grounds of ceru, ete. 0d similar patterns. Vertical bands of satin or plush are ar- ranged on gores of sheeny satin with stylish effi Parasols in mauresque shape are made wholly of ecrue silk tulle, the creamy folds and puffs banded down with stripes of Lyons velvet ribbon in velvet, wine color, dark moss green or black. Elegant looking parasols of golden- brown satin, lined with pale primrose silk, are striped with dark brown velvet on each gore, and finished around the edge with a pluted frill of pri colored crepe lisse, embroidered of wood-colors, shading from faintest Wilton yellow to deepest bronze Parasols have willow handles, ha somely carved and inlaid with Dbits of dark wood vari-colored. Less novel styles are shown in parasols of rich black or whi ce of a superb pattern, over foundations in satin of v conceivable shade. pensive sunshades, of which mention should be made, pur- ticularly of those of pongee, embroid- ered with daisies, A Little Lecture to Women, Bufalo Express: One hundred to one, if you chance to come up behind two women walking on a plank sidewaik, on both sides of which are inches of mud, you will be forced to step out into that mud, beg the women to let you pass dry- shod,or rudely push by them.

The fash- ionable young woman ot to-day steps trom the carriage, leaving her mother to follow her up to the steps and into the house as best she may. Only the minority, whose “‘good manners are the fruit of noble mind,” pay the gentle deference to elders that i1s so sweel to them and so pleasunt to see. A Society Girl's Summer Outfit, New York Letter in Scranton Truth: A society girl showed the other day her summer outing outtit. There we pink and green ribbed silk vests and stocking to match, and white china silk night gowns with lace frills, The latter are 8o like nothing on a hot sumnier night that one is glad to spend a super- fluous §15 on each just to keep cool. The other sets were of fine linen cambric and nainsook with a narrow edge of lace on the neck, but a flounce on the bottom, by order of the extravagant wearer. A New Kind of “Elevator Boy." Chicago News: In all this town I know but one woman elevator boy. Per- haps elevator conductor, or driver, or engineer, or manipulator, or something else would sound better than elevator boy, but it wouldn't be half so common or expressive. This woman elevator boy is the prettiest boy know of engaged in that field of useful- ness. She makes her toilet carefully, dresses well aud wears the neatest of loves. Her eyes, her hair, her lips? 'm not going to say anything about them, nor yet & word "about her com- plexion, nor the soft, sweet voice in which she calls out “‘second’ ‘‘fourth,” and the numbers of other floors, Nor {ut am I going to give the name of the uilding wherein she is employed, for that would not be fair to her. Already her elevator 18 the most popular one in town, and any hour of the day you may find her surrounded by admiring crowds. 'Tis really won- derful the number of passengers that elevator has to carry, and the proportion of them who ride from basement to sky- light, and then conclude that they will go down again, Why this isso doesn'tap- penr to be any of our business, and yet the thought is obvious that here is anpther opsnrtunily for woman. She makes an admirable elevator boy. Summing Up On Occupations. Boston Record: Thegirls of eighteen and twenty, who are now beginning to come forward to earn their own living in various new wavs, find a much easier field than their elder sisters and their aunts who tried their bands at ‘‘battling with the world.” The world appears in 80 amicable a_light to all young women who can do any one thing very well—whether it is to manage a type- writer or & business enterprise—that it is not easy to believe how diflicult it was for a girl to find anything to do besides school teaching and sewing ten years ago. There is scarcely any world work now in which a woman may not engage, no matter how difficult or extraordinary, if she have the desire and talent for it. City Girls Prettier Than Country Girls Milwaukee Wisconsin: It is one of the prineiples of modern sentiment that tine complexions are a country product. Plnk and white faces are invariably connected with fields and farm houses and a fair and blooming skin is counted the coun- try girl's heritage in contradistinction to that of her town sister. The country giri has not only not a better complexion than the town girl—she has a decidedly worse complexion. Take a company of town girls and & company of country gir! clear, fresh looking faces® Generaily among the former. And the thick, colorless, lifeless skins? Generally among the latter. Thisisa fact that auy oue can verify by observation, Beauty as tho Highest Trump. Milwaukee Wisconsin: Beauty is the highest trump ever held in the hand of wome!

The perjurer tells lis story without a change of color; the honest™ witness is flushed and confused by the lawyer who is hired to suppress truth in courts of justice Countless roses are said to blush unscen, They are very foolish — HONEY FOR THE LADIES, Rubles are decidedly in fashion. Wraps for summer wear are rich in jets. Necklaces are very little worn nowadays. Lace insertion and ribbon dresses are now very fashionable. "The parlor is probably the most frequented of all eourt rooms. Turbans remain in favor for city streets and for traveling hats. Crownless bonnets, worn like an old-fash- toned head dress, are favorites, Scarf mantles, very convenient wraps in- deed, are in favor for spring wear, Light tan-colored gloves of Danish Kid are still used with dresses of any color, White lilacs are first choice for bridal nose gays, with lilies of the valley a zood second. Plain net without dots now rivals point d'esprit with its many dots for dress bonnets, Black and white mixtures in stripes and bars are seen in the new gros grain and faille Francaiso silks. The newest tailor suits have very broad Waistcoats opening over shirt frouts ot Tus- sore or China silk. Leather buttons, moroceo, kid, seal, allizo- tor and dog skin, hand painted, are a new fad for street wear. Narrow stripes of frise velves in old tap- estry colors are frequently seen on grounds of heavy twilled surans. Black Bengaline, which has been so exten - sively used for siiort wraps, is this season also nuch used for dresses. Black watered silks are admirably com- bined with black camels™-hair for dresses of middie-aged and elderly ladies. A suggestion of silver throuzhout an entire black costume gives a a beautiful and un- common effeet to this sombre dress. Paris milliners combine fancy gauze and velyet ribhons on dress hats aud bonnets, adding choice wontures of fine flowers as aigrettes, It cost §22.50 in Burlington, Vt., for a man to kiss a girl at a depot in mistake for his sister, and now he is sorry he did not pick otu a prettier girl, Heliotrope is undoubtedly the color of the season. There are ten ditféront shades. ofthem are called “anemone,” two rec shades “plum’” and the darkest “dahli Irate Husband—*“You've been going through my pockets again and you've taken that tive-dollar bill! ow I won’t have it!” Tantalizing Wire at’s 80:you won't.” "1 observed, Mr. Bead, that at the banquet the other evening, Judge Boosey drank to his wite. Wasn't you surprised?” “indeed 1 was. I expected to see him drink to excess, as usual.’ Rev. Lyman Beecher's last wife was a boarding house keeper. He took two meals there and then proposed; yet some women think it does not pay to make boarders com- fortable. A young Irishman, who had just an- nounced his engagement, was usked, “And when did you propose?”’ “‘Faith,” said he, by starlight, and L got Ler answer in a kling.” ndeed, it happened in ‘less time than I take to tell it,” said the lady, who was con- sidered somethat of a bore. ' “Oh, 1 haven’t the least doubt of that,” replied her patient and truthful listener. A platu-spoken lady we know well, Fell in love with Sir James Russell Lowell, But when told he said *“‘naitchah’ For nature the aitcha’ Concluded the match wonldn’t go well. A pretty feature of a recent wedding was the wearing of natural tlowers in a high cluster on dress bounets of lace, bothin black and white. 'The same decoration was also noticed upon bonnets woru iu this city on Easter Snnday. Heliotrope cashmere gowns are draped over prown velvet, and the leg o’ mutton sleeves have the deep cuffs of the same vel- vet. Anotner com:bination is with panels and coat of sand colored Kersey cloth raided in helitrope. Sailor straw hats will be popular again this summer, but with ditferent trimming. The brims are wider and straighter, and those of fine straw are best liked. These have a broad band {about the crown, long stiff loops of ribbon a little to the left and pointing for- ward, with two long narrow wiugs set in the same manner, A pretty gown worn at the festival of the year was of fawn-colored cashmere, the ‘Wwaist of the polonaise laid entirely in very fine tucks. Tne sleeves were tucked to the elbow and below that to the wrist, leaving at the elbow a putf. 'The polonaise effect was somewhat concealed by soft sashes about the nips, kuotted on the tournure. It has been a complaint that fashions were adapted only to queenly figures, but the spring styles are taken from a period when a small woman was the leader. She hired the artists of u Kingdom to design patterns, eombined colors to suit her petite figure and blonde infant type of beauty. The nigh roll of nair now worn by fashionable ladies was Madame Pompadour’s fashion, introduced to render her stature more commanding. The Scotch zupnrr ginghams and cham- breys brought out' this season are worthy of special mention. The tufted xm‘-ed ng- hams have the design woven to closely semble the silk and wool stripes of last sea- son, and are shown in novel and really beau- tiful comvinations of color. Tiie solid cham- breys and ginghams are dyed in lovely shades of vink, lilac-blue, corn color, ete. and the embroidered patterns come in va ous widtns of flouncings. Indoor toilets are also of simple style, We notice a young lady’s dress of gray sicilienne, the skirt'of which is quite plain; it is plaited in full round plaits at the back and side, and arranged;in one wide plait in front. ~ The bodice is gauked over the shoulders, whence the fronts come down in full plaits to the waist. 'T'nis bodice is v(;:"y slightly olmn at the throat, and is trimu with a white lace tw where will you find” the smooth, | border continued in front down to the waist; round walstband; tight plain sleeves, not coming down much below the elbow, For spring wear a_pretty and stylish _cos- tume is of cheviot, made "with kilt skirt, a short front drapery laid in smooth folds over the hips and almost undraped over the tour- nure, a plain, short basque opening at the throat to show a white-corded silk cravat,and he sleeves only slizhtly full above the elbow. ‘The shoes- should have patent leather tips, the gloves be four button English walking ¢loves, with broad stitehing on the back. A white felt English walking hat, trimmed smoothly with white ribbons and wings,com- plete thé costume. Spring walking costumes are very simple. ‘They are generally of some light cloth or fancy woolen material combined with plain silk: for instance, a plain round skirt of dark-brewn silk, over this an ur|u‘r skirt of beige or buff woolen fabrie, falling in full, hollow plaits at the back, open in front, and slightly draped at each side. Tight-fitting Jjacket-bodice of the same material as the upper skirt, forming a round basque at the back, and remaining entirely open in front, over a plaited plastron of beige or buff and brown striped silk; this plastron overhangs a little lower than the waist, it is put on at the top to a small piece of plain, dark brown silk matehiug the underskirt, and finished with a small turned-up collar of the same ma- terial. Plain sleeves without any revers, li)ullnm!d at the wrist with two large but- ons. The new round hats which seem to find greatest favor are those which have medium bigh tapering crowns, with brims_that roll extremely high on one side, or on both. The front of the hat projects over the eyes, but the sides and back are close and short. Suede, ecru, hellotrope, Japanese red, golden brown, dark green, and gray are most exten- imported in Milan braids, but this does not comblete the color list. Some of the hats have crowns of fancy straw, braided in odd | wayes, shell patterns, and porcupine L\hlnls. | or in open canvas designs, while “the brim is of plain braid to be faced with velvet. A naity turban hat from an English house e of black fancy braid has the brim d with black velvet. Long loops of wide black gros-grain ribbon, edged with white silk cording, are arranged atthe frontina cluster and then laid over upon the high crown, as if a gale of wind had blown them | back.
