Oh, would the gods the ziftie gie us, To'soe ourselves us others see us. This quotation is a little ancient. perhaps, but it flits into our mind quite naturaliy when wu s0e how soms peopls walk, [ won- der how many poople there ars who ever give n thought to their style of pedestrian Jocomotion, Fashion’s frown has long forbidden the babit of swinging the arms and yet,when we #top to think of it, that is tho natural way to help us walk, How vory careful wo are ‘when on a main streot not toswing our arms. { By keoping our mind upon theso rebollious moembers wo do succeed 1o keeping thom stll. But dou't we get awfully tiredi Just watch tha swell girl as she fancies herself out of sight around tho corner on sowo un- frequented street; down go tho arms and they swing naturaily in unison with the lower extromities. Sto can walk faster and not be half sotired us if the arms wereunder L illance, o limns aro like tho spokes of a wagon wheel trying to describe a circle. 1t is wonderfully amusing to rote the dif- ferent styles of gait in which 80 many puo- plo carry themsolves, T'here is tho Tast gait, the slow gait, tho graceful and the awkward gait, and two swinging on the garden gate, when 1Us not late und pa has gone to lodgo and wa is at prayer menting and Molly bas her eve out. But we digress— hat is not the gato we contemplate. Wo were speaking of the walking gait. Thore 18 the tall man with the long stride and tho tall girl with a likewiso; there is the short man who holds himself so very straight, as ir to uake vou beiieve he is taller than you supposed; his short steps are verv brisk and two are taken to oue long stride of his taller prother. Wo often wonder why some peopla walk Ina crooked line when od the street and thus como in collision with some ono who is trying Lo keep a “‘bee line.”” Do some Iadies thivk it gracetul to sway the form 1rom side to side; or do they nover wive the matter a thought! The latter no doubt is tho fault, and they walk simply because they are golng somewhero, Now that it is no longer the style to wear tight shoes one can balance more casily upon the ball of the foot, which gives the necaed elastic spring, and the strength of the heel is uot called into play 0s much as in the bygoue days, when the shoos were so short aud tight that the toes were held us if in a vise, 5 The little mincing step, once thought so desivable, is rapidly going out. Ine gliding step is the one Lo cultivate. It is easier ana 80 much more graceful. As for the urms, as they seem to b6 indespensable articles, it will be necessary to carry them. To walk a la moge 1t is ‘correct o place the left arm akimbo, the hand resting on the hip, and If you are wearing a diamond keep it in sight. An imposing frout s always desirable. 1n the right hand carry the umorella or a gentieman his walk- Jug stick, for in theso days of parcel delivery It s not necessary for a lady or geutleman to make an express wagon of themselves by earrying a number of bundles, for tho whole expression of a pretty dress or nobby suit 10ay bo ruined by a big brown parcel or a package douo up in newspaper. When we st & person carrying a large bundle we curiously wonder “what is in it.” Memory takes us back to childhood’s days and we remember that borrid tin _bucket in ‘Which mother put up our school lunch, ana how we did ot dere 1o opcn against carrying a respectable tin “pail.’” But oh! how we did hate it, and what humil- iation that 1nocent buckel did cause us hurrylng along trying to hide it uuder our —glank; and our foolish litile heart dreading to mept u fashionublo friond. Necessity and good sense may oftimes compel a lady or gentleman to carry an arm- ful, 0 1t would be unjust to judge'the man by the buudie. But1t 13 not ¢ood form to carry a package, and, girls, if you want to look pratty vou can’¢ do it Keop in mind tho oft-repeatod advice, “‘shoulders thrown pack.” Walk in a straight line. Ladies, keep step with an escort, if you have one, Euld up your head, but uo_ stargazing. on't try 1o loca e a ‘““man in Mars” whilo ou walk on some pocr mortal's toes, rother, please don’t watch that pretty fittlo girl across the way so intently that yol quite forget to keep in step with the Bood little Wife at your side. 2 Au Revomr o The failure of young men to marry has compelled hundreds of thousands of women to earn an idependent living, writes John Lambert Payue i the September La- dies' Howe Journal, All bonor to the girls who work; but the Divine plan was that mon should be the breadearners and that women should be the center of homes, Whenever such afundamenta! law of society s this 18 violated retribution is inavitable, ilnore are today upwards of 2,000,000 women n the United States who mako a living by professionnl and personal scrvices, such as the practice of law aud wedicine, the teach- fng of music and art worlk, clerical service of one sort or another in government and other offices, quite apart from the army of young women who serve in stores aud toll at me- chanical labor, Noove who can look back over a generation of time has failed to ob- serve the extent to which women have be- come 1ndependent breadearners within com- acatively rocent years, and particularly in hose avenuos which education and retined hubits of life buve onened up, Itis, in fact, & grave soclal problem whore this thing will end It would seem that this, among other causes, 15 accomplishing the purpose which Malthus almed to teach; for the inexorable conclusions of the statistician show that the American aud Canadian family is steadily rowing smaller. Lf the average number por umily bad been s great in 1500 as in 1860, there would haye been 6,000,000 peoplo in tho United States and 430,000 in Canada_above what the receut census revealod, This 1s & fuct of furreacbiog lwportance, and ap- plios its force in other directions than the Buoject of this article, Is thero a remedy f Certainiy there is none which can be easily and readily applied. Two hundred years ugo, guided largely by the Jesuits, tho zealous King louis of Krance made stern laws for the government of this young colony in respect to murriage, He de- ©reod that every father having a son 18 yoars of ngze, or a daughter of 15, shouid be held Accountable 1o the state if thoy were not married, M ats Was thero over anything so oxhaustless as & mother's patience! asks the Poiladelphia Times, The pretty baby cries and squirms about Just when everyiiug is being doue for its comfort, yet she does not, as an_outsider foois like doing, give it an ewphatic little slap or o pat that wight be called & slap if be- stowed by another , she bears with it, sings 10 it, murmurs sweet words into th unbocding ears, and would think any one u toely rigiculous who saw anytbiog rewark- able in Ler increasing goounoss. It must be B part of motherhood, for 1t comes to the verv oung parent as wellns to the woman who as raised many children before this last exutious atom appeared. Tho soclety girl who looked positively ghust when & buby was brought in for her Iuspection and who would leave a car if any small creature commenced to cry takes toher own baby s though brought up to the situa- tou from childhood.

Abundance of fresh air and sunshine is the rulo in all cases, except whero the order of tho physician probibits the light. There is far more danger of the ratient becoming ener ventilation.” Euglish physicians iosist that an open fire is A necessity to the roper ven. tilution of a sickroom, and an eminent au- thority on this subject says: I do not con- sider any room suitable for a patient to oc- cuny during a prolonged illnoss where there i3 not an open fire burni; order to secure proper ventilation.” A tight stove or a furnaco register will not sorve any such purpose. On the contrary, the stove throws out a gdry heat, which can only bs partly counteraoted by keeping bofling water on the stove. 1t does not solve in any way the provlem of ventilation, The furnace reglater, too, often brings up acurrent of foul air from the cellar or the kitchen, into which the cold alr box opens. Unfortunately it is quite the exc have the cola nir box open outdoors, as it should. Even whoro it so opans the furnace register does not assist materiaily in vonti- Iating the room. One of the best methods of removing odors is 10 take & shovel of burning coal, sprinkle it with coffos and pass it uround the room Where there is infectious disease a deodoriz- ing solution should be obtained from the physician and used in the water in which the vtenails of the room, the bedding and clotn- ing of tho patient are washed. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, advisory dean of the woman’s dapartment ‘of Chicago university, was a student ar Michigan uni- versity ana afterwards a teacher there and at Genova Lake. For two years she held tho ohair of nistory at Wellesloy and for six yoars was president of the college, which of- fice she resigned to marry Prof. Palmer of Harvard, Miss Bulkioy, thedean of the uni- versity, has boen for many years principal of the High school in Plawtield, N. J., and is an educator of wide reputation. Under her discipline the Plainfiela school has veen ele- vated to that extent that its graduutes are received by colleges on 1ts certificates with- out examination. Oragon has a girl mail carrler, Miss Minnie Weston, a brave, spivited and beautiful girl. just out of her ns.

Fashion's Mirror, Very strong efforts have been made to bring that very handsome material, lrish poplin, back into favor, and in these days of repped and corded fabricsit is quite likely to succeed. Collars at the moment are of the low, turn down variety or nonexistent and an arrange- ment of lace, chiffon or embroidered silk muslin, like a priest’s rabot,appears on many of the fashionable gowns, Crepon, which has proved so popular a material ihrougu the spring and summer, is prominent among the autumn goods. It is in heavier weight than the summer crepon and 1v some new designs. A vory handsome Venetian oponwork em- broidery in shaded silk of dark color and bronze-gold or copper metal cords will bo used in the autumn for trimming cloth, cash- mere und vigogne dresses, The much derided solferino and magenta shiades come again to the fore after many ment, and rechristened tho thoy bid fair to rank umong the highly favored dyes of autumn. Small smocked skirts exactly like a countryman’s smock are worn by little boys of 3 in short trousers, Thoy are arranged with a fullness, falling ovor tha waist beit, and have round, turned down collars. Any slender woman who wishes to arrango her dress skirt in panierstvle about her hips, or to wear draperies of lace or net from her shoulders or her belt, can do so with the knowledge that her gown will be strictly au fait. Fillets and coronets of siik or velvet rib- bon are worn in the hair. The portion that bands the hair is a flat bias piece or is softly braided. A smart little upstanding bow at the top, a littie to the teft side, finishos this bit of fancy head aezoration. The newest ribbon belts fasten to the left side with stiff upstanding ribbon bows. Tho long waist buckles heretofore used to oclasp broad sashas are row placea diagonally, and threaded through with thrbe or more rows of inchwide velvet or otner ribbon There1s a revival of fancy for the full- basqued coat, that of the Louis XVI. type. Ivis sometimes fashioned with a seam round the waist, aud the basque cut like the gored skirts, plaited or gathered beaeath a belt, which is of black satin with appliquo of jet. Some of the cotton gowns worn at the sum- mer resorts this season are marvels of doli- cate boauty. The India muslins, printed with shagowy designs in pale pick, mauye, and tender green, are made up over sheath skirts of pink shot with green, or lilac witn silyer, ote. Grenadine, gauze and barege are all fash- ionavle and effective summer materials. The newest of theso grenadines have n small raised rib on a clear ground in a different color, and among the duintiest of these are those with u cord of whito ou a crsme grouud, Tartans of all clans and tartans of none will be highly fashionable this fall. Skirts of these plaids will be trimmed variously with narrow bias frills, with bias pipings or folds, with deep reverso hems ot the goods, with ruches, or black velvet ribbon or black giump in rows. A fact worth noting in connection with this season’s wools are that many of the handsomest are imported from Germany. The German cheviot and rep goods are variea and beautiful, the latter having a satiny finish not seen in either the Scotch or English fabrics. Capes are now \he fad as watering place IRRed capes of cloth, made full, with lar ana reaching almost 1o the kuees are much affected by the fashionable woman. These are found comfortable over the light organdies ana batistes, and are proof against sea air exposure, Avother protty wedding dress is of white duchesse satin with a wide givdle of silver guipure with lovers’ knots of orange blossoms 1o fasten it. A baud of silver lace trims the bottom of the skirt, headed with the orange blossoms aud leaves, and several lare bows of wide white satin ribbon adorn the fat square train. A brown sailor hat shown by cne of tho fashionatle buttors, and after received fashion s far as its shapn 15 concerned, is mude 0dd by having a stiff baud of green and blue plaid ribbon aboutit. It seems like a combination of the sailor and the bagpipes, and it looks as If it ought not to go, it is so inbarmonious. A vory swell girl ourls hor hair on silver curling tongs that bave handles after tho Louis Quinze design, which are very elabo- rato and vary troublesomo to keep clean; but when 1t comes tb a question of the silver on her dressing oase, she will go to any trouble, and will, if she can got no one else to do it, polish it horself until it is as bright as ner own bair. Serges appeur in all the varieties, from the fine camel’s bair serge to the heavy storm serge, with the whipcord serge and novelty lines in between, Tweads are more desirable than usual, being fluer aud less weighty- looking. The cneviots show some excellent qualiues 1w mixed coloring that is new ia this fabric. They will make bandsome traveliug gowns for fall, Tho military cloak of last vear is hore agiin, which i5 10 bo expected when remem- bering the imnense stocks of this garment with which most of the merchants closed the winter sales last spring. While some of the capes romain ibe samo longth, many are suortened uoticeably, ‘Cho directoire cape redingote is revived, usually with the three- layer, or, #s itoften will be called, the triple cape. Smokink gowns are the latest addition to the wardrobe of the popular woman who is beloved by ber feliox man, They are of the rich warm brown of the tobacco itself, or of the faint gray bluoe of the rings and clouds of smoke.
