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.” CUTICURA REMEDIES. I3aby Humors And All Skin and Scalp Dis 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. H. E. ItYAX, Cayuga. Living-ton Cos., 111.
