NOTES FOR WOMEN.
Gossip About Gowns and the Way they
are Made.
New York, Sopt. IT.—“Why don't you
women go to different dressmakers;”
“What is the trouble!”
“One has given up expecting to see you
dress yourselves according to your individual
tastes, characters and styles. You are all
dressmakers’ models, but if you would noly
introduce variety by consenting to be
of different dressmakers that would relieve
the general monotony a little. As it is you
all go to'the same one or else all the dress
maker copy one another.”
This challenge, issued at a Newport gar
den party a short time since, resulted in a
novel dress reception in a quiet little stndio
the other evening. The invitations ex
tended to ladies contained the stipulation
that each woman attending should wear
what, in her eyes, was the ideal dress for her
sex,the idea being to induce each fair dame to
put on tor once wnat she would prefer to
wear always if the conventions of society
permitted. No, such restriction was put
upon the escort. Gentlemen were permitted
to experiment in aesthetic mole attire or not
as the}' chose with the exception of the hy
percritical artist whose auimadversioiu had
furnished the occasion of the gathering He
was notified that an exemplification of the
millennial costume of the man was required
at his hands.
The gowns brought out at this unique
evening tea displayed considerable origin
ality and indicated a greater amount of
thought bestowed on healthful and artisti
cally beautiful dress than one would have
given New York subjects of the lady’s
tailor by day and the French modiste by
night credit for. They did not follow any
existing di-ess reform models closely, though
one divided skirt was in the field. No two
resembled each other and a number of ex
tremely pleasing costumes were evolved. A
tall, slight bloude wore a gown of a peach
blow siik crepe. It fitted closely at the
back, falling without draperies. In front
it dropped loosely in long Greek folds, con
fined by a silver girdle. The sleeves were
close to the elbow, quite full above. No
trimmings of any kiud were allowed and no
ornaments worn. The shoos were low cut,
without heels aud of a light undressed kid.
The dress just cleared the floor. Another
gown was of white silk, soft and clinging,
cut after a modification of the Directoire
fashion. The bodice was cut neither high
in the neck nor low, but gathered perhaps
two inches or three below the usual day
light choker level, showing a pretty throat.
The loose short waist without darts was
gathered into a belt, and the skirts abso
lutely without trimming or drapery fell
close about the limbs. For the slender rosy
brunette who wore it nothing more effective
could have been devised.
A majority of the gowns probably were
in the softer silks which make the most
graceful of drapery dresses and lend them
selves most easiiy to a departure from con
ventional forms. Numbers of the women
present, giving the occasion its broadest
latitude, illustrated their ideas not of even
ing and gala gowns, but of every day dress
suitable to their chosen occupations. A
walking gown, for instance, of a russet
brown cashmere w-as made with a short
skirt with.. < A draperies, laid in broadside
plaits. The bodice was close fitting behind
with loose jacket fronts falling over a full
blouse of p’aided surah in garnet and olive
shades. An artist’s wife, more radical in
her dress reform desires than many of her
companions, habited herself in a soft moss
green wool gown with a full plain skirt some
four inches shorter than the customary
walking length. With this she put on a
full blouse of the same material, falling
over a belt and laced with a silk cord. She
allowed herself a wide velvet collar and
velvet cuffs to the leg o’ mutton sleeves and
then declared herself ready for any of life’s
emergencies even to running to the fourth
story two steps at once. A Ilighlandish
costume with skirts reaching just below the
knees and reached by long laced boots with
soft undressed kid tops colored to harmonize
with the gown was the only startling devia
tion from ordinary attire, but the dresses
without exception were so contrived as not
to insist on the outlines of the figure, and
being free instead of strained from bias
seam to bias seam, were proportionately
graceful. Not one fitted closeiy above the
waist line. They were tea gowns and tennis
gowns adapted to all other uses.
The men of the party did not avail them
selves of their privilege very fully, though
the individual who was put on honor to
wear what he thought ho ought to wear al
lowed his conscience to wrestle with him so
far as to put on a white flannel shirt and a
painter's jacket instead of a dress suit.
THE FEMIN'INE BACHELOR
is becoming a feature of New York. She
has developed hero to an extent not known
in any other city. She is frequently pretty,
she is always well dressed, she ranges from
k. to 3o years old and she leads an independ
ent life not usual with any other class of
women. The feminine bachelor is a woman,
young, unmarried, living by herself or with
a companion like herself, to whom society
by common consent allows an individual
freedom never dreamed of by the chape
roned girl, and to be likened only to the
Bohemian existence of the unmarried man.
The feminine baehelor is usually a bright
girl and she often comes from the country.
Bhe is fully capable of taking care of her
self and her numbers multiply every sea
son.
The feminine bachelor is save for other
Bohemian women a stranger in the city,
though her bon comaraderio extends the
circle of her acquaintance rapidly. She is
an art student, a medical student, she is
learning music or shorthand. She has lite
rary yearnings and sends manuscripts to all
the publishers. She is on ail independent
footing, comes and goes as she pleases, holds
herself bound by no code of propriety save
her own, and has induced society to accept
her code ns for her as good a one as need bo.
She has comparatively low acquaintances
of tlio other sex. Meii are apt to like her
and she is apt to like them, but she is too
busy to let the association go very far. She
is not distinctively a bluestocking like the
Boston old maid. She does not remain sin
gle of set purpose, but is like enough to con
tinue unmarried through tilling her life full
of other things.
The true feminine bachelor is never a pes
simist. She likes New York; she rejoices
in her own perfect freedom mid she dissi
pates in a bright, innocent, light-hearted
way that is more like the joviality of boys
ana girls than the dignity of three decades
of years. The feminine bachelor goes to
concerts and lectures and to the theatre a
great deal. I have never missed her oil a
tirst night. She is always there and is the
l<ost posted woman on opora and plays :n
the city. She comes alone and she goes
home alone and nobody moiests her or makes
her afraid.
THE INDEPENDENT WOMAN,
city gypsy she calls herself sometimes, has
Mot u-mully a full poeke book. She can't
afford too big a rone bill* and frequently
her otllce or studio or workroom is sitting-
Tootn and bedroom in one. There are build
ings, not too many of tnem, which make a
specialty of letting offices to her and hero
sue will exercise an ingenuity that stamps
her ns truly feminine t >conceal its dcticien
cies, adapt it for business and turn it into a
home. Her folding tail doesn't betruy that
she slee|w there. Her toilet arrangements
are tucked away behind n liund-pajnted
screen or secluded by bright dra|>eries. If
she can afford it she goes to a restaurant.
If she can’t the |Kie<ibilities of a gas stove
and "light housekeeping” are IxmiidlewL
These emancipated women hunt in couples
usuully, und the partners to a hornnkeeping
arrangement of this kind engaged in widely
different work perhaps through tho day
contract friendsniim that lujl for a lifetime.
Tb*i*i} women of tile offices, tile studios and
the studios grow into Bohemian coteries
whose members are iudo|>en'lent of other
associations. There an* anywhere from
l. 1,800 of them in the city I suppose,
anil they are the most interesting, frequently
the must brill mill, of nil city women to meet.
They are leading a life that would have
••e**u impossible to any woman without os
b&cjsiu twuuli -llv* ago, but is now
so fully recognized that the most sensitive
of women can thrive under it and grow
original in it. The feminine bachelor is a
feature of modern New York.
THE HOUSE OF THE FUTURE
will have in most of its rooms hard wood
floor, bal'd wood walls and, hard wood ceil
ing. So it. looks now ut any rate. The
tendency in that direction is already no
ticeable. An inspection of the finer houses
built in the city within a year or two shows
a liking for wood paneling everywhere. As
best-, arranged, the darkest wood for the
floor, a lighter shade for txe walls and the
lightest overhead. Oak. ash. mahogany,
maple, sycamore, holly, rosewood and ebony
are the woods that figure most prominently
under the new regime and, properl}• treated,
they make apartments that are not only
beautiful aesthetically but hygienic&lly good
to live in. Rugs take the place of carpets
and hanging are used in sufficient quantity
to give a warm, furnished look but not. to
breed dust and germs.
In a Fifth avenue show window are ex
hibited photographs of Queen Victoria with
her everlasting veil, the Princess of Wales,
in evening dress and also in carriage cos
tume, the little princesses, a liberal sprin
kling of minor royalties, Ladv Gray, Lady
Campbell, Mrs. Cornwallis West baok and
front, Miss Fortescue, the Lingarde and
other English beauties and celebrities. Mrs.
Cleveland and Mary Anderson are the only
American women admitted within the
charmed circle, and even Mary will come
back to us, if she comes at all, quite Eng
lish, they say. Anglomania is not on the
decline.
Reputation conies quickly when it comes
at all sometimes. Few people had heard of
Amelie R.ves two years ago. Now every
body knows that her grandfather, William
C. Rives, used to be United States Minister
to France, that she is a very promising
story teller and one of the most beautiful
women of the day, all of which is a good
deal for one woman to be. E. P. H.
MANSFIELD’S DUAL ROLE.
He Appears to be Equally Successful
in Both.
New York, Sept 17. —Clever Richard
Mansfield has set the town talking again.
He is the most enterprising and the most
indefatigable of workers, and his reputation
has been gained in a legitimate way and not
through the medium of the divorce courts
or by posing as a masher. There has not in
many years been so much preliminary t ilk
about a play as the rehearsals of “Dr. Jekyl
and Mr. Hyde” called forth. The presence
of the author of that famous book in New
York at the time did much to strengthen
the interest. Robert Louis Stephenson sat
among the audience the first night looking
ghastly ill. It is a hard fate that the most
eminent and original of English novel
writers to-day should be in such wretched
health. His life has been several times
despaired of, and his present condition is pa
thetic iu the last degree.
The success of Mansfield’s production is
absolute. He has added anew role to his
reportoire which will live. The change
which the actor makes in his dual charac
ter is astounding when it is realized that in
it he depends entirely on his art. From the
large, serene and benevolent “Dr. Jekyl”—
which ii pronounced, by the way, as though
spelled Jeekyl—he twists himself instantly
into the sinister and murderous monster
Hyde. His face is distorted into the sem
blance almost of an animal, his figure
shrinks, his arms and fingers twist them
selves into uncouth shapes, and he seems an
entirely different man. The play revolves
entirely around the star, and Mansfield
reaps all the honors. This is as it should be,
for practically he does all the work.
The week has been a notable one in the
theatres for many reasons. There have
been several new plays of the farcical
variety and the long run of “Erminie” has
been brought to a close. The success of this
opera dwarfs all other similar productions.
It is marvelous to think of the protracted
hit it has made when it is considered that
the whole triumph is due to the theatre and
not the piece. “Erminie” has been played in
London and by several companies in differ
ent cities here, but never with anything ap
proaching the success it has met with at the
Casino. The seats have been sold at a
premium for weeks, and now speculators
are paying $3 and 84 for single seats in the
boxes. The standard of excellence has
been kept up throughout, and the
management of the house deserves the
honors Though the opera has run for
nearly two years, Mr. Aronson continues
to improve the cast and strengthen every
weak point. The troupe that now goes on
tour will rank as the best company that
ever went out of New York. Francis Wil
son is the peer of Dixey and Goodwin and
the most finished of character actors, wliile
his partner, Daboll, ranks with the best
comedians. Either of these men could star.
So could either of tho two leading women,
for that matter. Pauline Hall and Marie
Jansen are at the very top of the ladder
now. ’ Lillian Russell is a fallen goddess be
side either of them. The quartette of cele
brities in the Casino company will be backed
up by all the original troupe. Every stick
of scenery goes along for the tour of sixteen
weeks in the six principal cities of the
union. People out of town will then have
an opportunity of passing judgment oil the
most successful theatrical production that
New York has ever known.
Mr. John A. Mackay reappeared after a
long absence from the stage in a very queer
and grewsome specimen of a play cidled
“Circus in Town.” It was a most lugu
brious failure as a piece, as there was not
the most remote chance for any one to make
any futj, the role of the loading comedian
being about as lightsome, dashing and gay
as a ten-year old mud pie. It begins to look
ns though tho public had become somewhat
satiated with what iscalled farcical comedy,
which usually consists of vulgar horse play
interjected bodily into more or less monot
onous variety business. Blakf.lv Hall.
Two Noted Women Who Write.
From tlie Kansas Citu Journal.
People vvno read overy week articles writ
ten by certain individuals like to form some
s.g-t of an idea regarding their personality.
Clara Lanza, who sometimes signs herself
"The Marchioness Lanza," is the only
daughter of Dr. William A. Hammond, of
New York city. She is a tall, fine-looking,
beautiful blonde, the mother of two or
three beautiful boys, whom I have often
met walking in Central Park with their
Italian father, tho Marquis di Lanza lie
is a small, natty, agreeable man, of perhaps
thirty-odd years, who came to this country
some fifteen years ago and found a position
in a silk house in New York. He
is also a blonde, and has none
of Ihe appearance of the ordinary
ltaliun. I have known him for many
years and have the highest regard for him.
it was my good fortune to be present at tho
wedding of Miss Hammond with Marquis
Lanza. It took place in her father’s mag
nificent residence, tho interior of which is a
perfect museum of art. The match was a
"love match,” and I think the two have
been perfectly happy over since. The Lan
zas now have a beautiful homo of their
own, just east of Fifth avenue and Central
Park, in the most fashionable portion of the
city. Mmo. Lanza, like her celebrate* 1
father, is much given to writing, and is
fond of scientific subjects and transactions,
as well as newspaper paragraphing. Olive
Logan I know many years ago, when she
was an actress, and afterward a lecturer,
living on East Fourth street in New
York, near Washington .Square Will
Syk<-s lived in the same house, wrote much
for the press and kept big scran-books.
Afterwards the two were married, and in
ilue time Sykes wus appointed Consul at
Cardiff, Wales, whore lie remained until he
died. Olive then became a widow and wont
nil to London, read much in the British
Museum and wrote for tne press. She spent
last, winter in the city, but seldom went out
In society, living very quietly on Capital
llill. Slie was once quite handsome, but
with years has grown very stout, and her
hair is now mixed yellow and gray. She is
much more at home in London than in nnv
American city, and meets many flue people
on the other side.
TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1<), 1887.
THE MAGIC WORDS.
The scene of conflict was a level plain
That lay among the stretching huts of Spain,
And on the Sana that glistened in the sun.
Ten thousand lay, whose hours of life had run.
'Till noonday's heat, from earliest sign of dawn
Tho hatt ling forces were in combat drawn.
And ere the sun sank silent in the west,
A host of men had found eternal rest.
Behind the bat tie tie Id, beneath a tent,
A soldier lay, on death his vision bent.
A kindly Priest, that spoke of God, was near.
A doctor, he was there, but full of fear.
Each was a Jew, had each a Hebrew's zeal.
But licit her dared bis name or race reveal.
But death had robbed t hem of their mortal fears,
Here in his shadow they would spend their tears.
"SUemang Yisreal,” tho dying soldier breathed,
His face, in death, with smiles all wreathed.
“Adonai Elohenoo," said piously the man of
God;
The Doctor murmured, "Adonai Echad."
The Priest reached out , and grasped the doc
tor’ hand,
These tnagic words had forged a mighty band,
And then upon the doctor's bosom lay his head,
And wept. The soldier now, alas! was dead.
—Jewish Exponent.
“Mizpah.”
From the Jewish Exponent.
The magic of a word is oft-times more
wonderful than the clever tricks of the
gifted magician of the nineteenth century,
for it soothes in its utterance, comforts m
its sound, and strengthens in its desire to
give to each that which he needs.
A little band of gold encircles the finger
of my friend, a gift from one whose love
“has been weighed in the balance, and not
found wanting.” Engraved in Roman let
ters upon that ring is the single word “Miz
pah as the rays catch each letter, it shines
forth, and iu its beauty speaks to the heart
in the language of unselfish affection. It is
the most beuutiful prayer ever written, the
most earnest invocation to the deity for
help and succor; aud its brevity appeals to
the heart as greatly as it attracts the eye.
In that one little word is hidden the secret
of a mother’s heart, as she bids farewell to her
child, ere he steps forth to take his place in
the struggling mass of those who labor and
watch. A* a “watch-tower,” with its ever
vigilant Sentinel to keep him from being
dashed to pieces against the dangerous rocks
of evil temptation, “Mizpah” shines its
light in the path he should tread, and
if he closes his eyes and will not see.
upon his own head rests the responsibility
of his acts. It speaks to him, in the ab
sence of better counsel, and commits him to
the care of the Lord. “Who shall watch
between me and thee, when we are absent,
one from the other!” And these words echo
the sweet strains of childhood’s days, and
force mauy an example to the surface once
again, that the remembrance might bring
benefit to his weary soul.
“Mizpah’s” pile of stones stood as an
everlasting witness between Jacob and La
ban, and formed, as it were, the peace
offering between these two, so opposite in
character. In every age and in every clime
it has read a lesson to some, who have been
anxious to be instructed. To my friend of
to-day it speaks of devotion mingled with
self-sacrifice; it forms the link which
connects him with his loved one, when
“they are absent, one from the other.” It
exhorts him to be faithful to the love of his
youth, and to watch ‘each opportunity
whose aim is honor. Its sentinel sends forth
its metal ring when danger threatens, and
awakens him when apathy’s sleep weighs
down his eyelids, and robs him of his con
sciousness. And to you, as well as to me,
it speaks of the great “Mizpah,” the God of
Israel, who Watches and guards over
us all, in our homes as well as
abroad; in times of peace as well as in
times of war; in rain as well as in sunshine,
and in darkness as well as in light. The
word may not bo on the circlet around our
fingers, but it is eugraved on the tablets of
our hearts, where time will not mar its
beauty, nor ago lessen its influence and
power Keep it then, for its value is in
.-rease. 1, as we learn each day its noble aim;
it is a treasure worthy a kind’s ransom, for
its sister gems are laiih, and hope, and trust.
Aye! with “Mizpah” as our witness God
will be convinced of our sincerity, and will,
I am confident, help us to attain the end
which is nearest and dearest to our hearts.
No matter then where our lines may be cast,
our zeal will,remain the same. No matter
where our footsteps lead us, when we take
up the burden of our lives, we shall feel and
know that, though banished from home and
kindred, “Mizpah” will whisper to our
loved ones: “The Lord will watch between
me and thee when we are absent, one from
the other.”

eases Speedily Cured by
Cuticura.
Our little son will be four years of age on the
25th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked with a
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in a physician who treated him for aliout four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician to lie hives in aggravated form,
became larger iu blotches and more mid more
distressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called other
physicians, until r.o less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
tile '-Util of lost July, when we began to give him
Cuticura Resolvent infernally, and the Cuti
cura Soap externally, and by the last of August
lie was so nearly well that we gave him only one
dose of the Ri: solvent uhoiu every second day
for about ten days longer.ami he lias never been
troubled since with the horrible malady. In all
we used less than one-half of a bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent, n liitie less than one box of
Cuticura. and only one cake of Cuticura Soap.
