V Women’s Doings in New York.
ICew York, Nov. 17.—The talk of a club
a for women in New York is having its
o,iodic revival. It will co ue to nothing.

1 ai-ev enough to shoulder such a project.

club is the best known of
the women’s clubs of London. It is ten years
eld and it has had a checkered existence.
There is a superstition to the effect that no
rlub of women can ever maintain an exist
ence without a definite plan for improving
somebody or something, its members or
* me other section of humanity. The
s mervillo club in the beginning meant to
improve and to reform the world. Its
inmial dues were only $1 25, and it was in
tended that working women, society
women, and women of every sta
tion and degree, should join ranks
to put out their hands for the franchise, for
dress reform, for physical culture and ath
etics lor the sex, for equal pay for equal
work, for the opening of all sorts of doors
I , the employment of w omen. It is need
les to say that no such millennial union was
stained. The Somerville club languished.
Last spring it took a fresh start, opened a
pleasant suite of rooms in Oxford circus,
tnd is now the largest women’s club and
the most democratic and most interesting in
tbe city. Its dues are still only $2 50 a
vear , and its membership includes the
puc ’.css of Portsmouth, Lady Gray and a
number of titled folk, with Mrs. Millicent
Garrett Fawcett, Frances Power Cobbe,
v Harberton, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett
Anderson, as well as a contingent of medi
cs! students, young literary women, book
keepers and "self-dependent women of all
kinds.
IEE SOMERVILLE CLUB HAS FURNISHED
is rooms in the prevailing aesthetic taste.
It has its shelves filled with a formidable
array of books and subscribes to a long list
of papers and magazines. It arranges a
regular programme of lectures and debates
for tho winter, and tea is served to mem
bers who happen in any afternoon at 4
o’clock. The real life of toe club is in these
informal droppings in. In one corner they
are discussing Buddha, in another bonnets.
The Somerville has a wide range.
London literary women have a club to
themselves. It is the University in New
Bond street and is practically, though not
professedly, limited to (authors and profes
sional women. It attracts a visitor by its
cheery open fires.
The Bloomsbury club takes in women
fond of out-of-door life and gets up club
walks and country trips the season through.
It has a fine gymnasium and women
practice there daily. It has a good billiard
room.
The Lotos club is more or less literary,
and is a club of gentlefolk, as is the Alex
andra, which last is an expensive club to
belong to and very exclusive, though fairly
pleasant. The Alexandra has a house in
Grosvenor street, very handsomely fur
nished and complete in its arrangements.
There are several clubs for men and
women jointly, as the Albemarle and the
Junior Denison. London women thor
oughly enjoy olub life, solitary women for
its companionship and cosiness and mar
ried women for the chance of meeting and
drinking tea with girlhood friends.
A DIMPLED, FRESH COLORED, ATTRACTIVE
woman was pushing her way up Broadway
with a somewhat bewildered air at a busy
hour yesterday afternoon. Three montus
sgo this woman was detailing plans for a
migration to America at a London break
fast table with a Yale senior, a Methodist
minister from Denver and a New York
doctor of divinity, as listeners. Her
father-in-law, so she said, was an English
squire of the old school. Her young hus-
Li.nd was disgusted with squiredom and
was a younger son besides. For herself she
was a squire’s daughter, but democrat
through and through. Filled with a desire
to make himself useful in some honest
work, her husband, with her encourage
ment, had learned blacksmithing, but found
his position an anomalous one, because cer
tain of the neighboring gentry recognized
tiiem, while others cut them dead to the
annoyance of the aristocratic father-in-law.
She wanted to come to the United States,
w here she had understood a man might
work at any trade and still take social posi
tion with his family among the best in the
land.
“Can I go into good society if my hus
band shoes horses*” She put the question
joint blank, and the Americans hemmed
and hawed.
“Well, really it would be a pity to take
such a step under a misapprehension,” said
the Yale senior.
"The case is often different," said the
Denver minister, “in villages to what it is in
the large towns.”
“New York and London are very much
alike nowadays,” said the doctor of divin
ity..
Nevertheless her courage served her to
c '>me. Her husband shod one or two of the
c.-ack roadsters in the horse show at Madi
son Square garden last week, aud she is liv
ing in a very small fiat up town. She had
found New York a desert thus far, she said
yesterday, aud she pined for interesting
people to talk to, but she believed her plans
could be carried out, and sho meant before
spring to solace herself with acquaintances
literary, artistic, social, of as good material
as could be found in the town. She should
k lock at tho door of the society she wanted,
and it would open and lot her in. Will it f

A BONA FIDE DIRECTOIRE
go >vn was lifted carefully from its tissue
p per wrappings the other day. It was a
soft, handwoven silk, like tbe China silks of
our day, of the same yellow green, shading
into black, that is so much in vogue this
winter. It dated back to the verv first
yoai's of the century aua it was dropping in
pieces u ith age. It belonged to a belle at
the federal ci urt, a young girl of a i old
New York family, whose descendants have
treasured it as an heirloom. There was
the low neck, the puffed sleeves, the short
waist, ending just unde' - the bust, the long
straight, full skirt, falling in clinging folds
about tho figure, the very cut that Jose
phine’s gowns were modeled after and that
society women are now reviving so far as
they can. It was a gala gown and a very
beautiful piece of costume, bpt the dress
maker of 1888 would smile at the demo
cratic simplicity of the dress maker of 1800.
It was made up over a lining of coarse
brown cotton, with unfinished seams stand
ing out in primitive fashion and set with
stitches that speak not Over eweil for
the needlework daintiness of th period.
There was no time and no strength wasted
in lingering touches over its completion,
but when’t was done ’twas done in stro g,
simple fashion as goed as any. With the
gown lay the corset over which it was ad
justed; but if the robe was outwardly like
the robe of to-day the stays were like noth
ing which this generation has seen. They
were made by hand, at home evidently, of
coarse, almost barbarously rude brown
linen, stiffened by many whalebones and
by a great wooden busk in front, curiously
carved. It was a corset to outwear twenty
of the dainty satin things a girl puts on
nowadays. The brave holiday show was
wholesomely noar to honest homsepun in
those days. E. P. H.
HOW TO DRESS WELL WITH LIT
TLE MONEY.
Remarkable Development of tbe
“Ready Marie” Business in Late
Years—Reasons Why Garments Are
Cheap.
New York, Nov. 17.—Everybody, ex
cepting the people who write on the sub
ject for the newspapers, knows that the
old and important question: “How muck
does it cost a man to dress?” is as difficult
to answer as toe equally old and less im
[xirtant one “How big is a piece of chalk?”
It costs a man just as much, or almost as
little as he chocses to spend on his clothing,
and on that proposition hangs an interest
ing story. Twenty years ago, tho average
city man who felt obliged to appear well
dressed would seldom buy his clothing at a
“ready made clothing store.” His gar
ments, at least his better ones, were inva
riably made to order. To-day many of the
conspicuously well-dressed men of the me
tropolis buy all, or nearly all their gar
ments “ready-made.”
“How has the change come about?” I
asked of Mr. Leopold Liffman, who has,
with his partners, done much to develop
the clothing business.
The art ot cutting is as carefully ttudied
and practiced in the factories now as it is
in any of the tailors’ establishments where
fancy prices are paid bv the customer for
individual attention. Naturally, also, there
have been some improvements in what
may be called the mechanics of the trade,
such as the cutting of numerous thicknesses
of cloth at once with a circular knife, run,
like a circular saw, by steam or electric
power, but these are of comparatively little
importance in our business, since, after all,
hand labor is necessary for the most of the
work in making clothes, and individual
skill is the main factor in the production.
While it is true that a man on the same
amount of money can dress much better
than formerly, it is also true, and is almost
a sequitur, that ho can dress as well as he
did formerly on much less money, and the
smallness of the sum now required to fit a
man with a complete suit of coat, vest,
trousers and overcoat, is most amazing to
those who have not studied the question. It
is difficult to establish grades in the infinite
variety in which men dress, but it may be
done approximately, aud for the sake of
illustration I will suppose four cases. The
first is a man of comfortable means who
goes into “society,” dines occasionally at
Delmonico’s, and is a first-nighter,” but
who economizes whenever he can without
sacrificing appearances. He may dress so
that his clothes may never be noticed by
anyone (which is said to be the true test of
good taste) on very little money. His even
ing suit will cost him from S2B to $35; his
business suit will cost from S2O to $25; and
his morning dress suit, or Prince Albert,
will cost $24 to S2B. These clothes, it is
understood, will fit him as well, and will
last as long or nearly os long as if made
to order by a first-class tailor. His over
coats will cost, say S2O for tho light one,
and about $25 for the heavy one.
The difference between the expense of
dressing in this case and in the next ono,
which is that of a hardworking clerk
who is compelled to make a small salary go
as far as possible, is that the first man will
duplicate his suits oftener, and have a
greater variety. The latter may buy a
trifle cheajierif he chooses, but be can main
tain an excellent appearance by wearing
clothes which will cost him as follows: A
food business suit will cost him from sls to
18; his “Sunday suit” will cost from S2O to
$22, and his light overcoat would be about
sls, while his winter coat would be $2 or $3
more in price.
The third case supposed is that of a fairly
well-to-do-mechanic who wears his working
clothes ordinarily, but wants a “best suit”
for “Sundays, high-days, holidays and bon
fire nights.” He may buy working suits
for sl2 to sl4, and “best suits” for from
sl7 to S2O.
The fourth case is that of the poor devil
who has no income and no regular employ
ment, who is foroed to bo content with the
cheapest garments that will keep bim warm
and preserve him from the appearance of a
tramp. His clothes will not last long, but
he can buy them for very little. An over
coat that w ith care will last a winter, and
keep him from suffering, may be had for $2,
though he may, if he is in lnck, spend as
much as $lO, and a full suit of coat, vest
and trousers, of approximate fit, for any
thing he likes or is able to pay over $5.
These prices, that the last-named man
pays seems preposterous, but they are the
figures at which very many people buy their
clothing. How long the clotnes will last de
pends on tbe iroar they get.
Fales-Curt is.
A Duke as a Green Grocer.
From the London Truth.
The Duke of Norfolk appears to have be
come a green grocer, for I hear that he is
not above selling his fruit, vegetables and
flowers at current market rates, either
wholesale or retail. Visitors to Arundel
Castle gardens may purchase anything thoy
fanoy, and large hampers of produce aud
huge baskets of cut flowers are dispatched
several times a week to Brighton and i’orts
mouth. Under the circumsiances, it soenis
decidedly unfair,, while the duke is driving
a roaring trade,' that his glaai housos should
be rated merely as pleasure grounds,
whereas professed nurserymen have to pay
a very much higher rate. Tho duke has
quite enough advantage over the ordinary
tradesman without being favored in the
matter of rates.
Going Down Hill.
There are more ways than one of going down
hill. Besides rolling over a precipice, rushing
down a toboggan slide aud other methods, you
may, if you neglect to rectify an erratic diges
tion, discipline a rebellious liver and restore a
regular habit of the bowels, rapidly descend an
incline whose bottom Is the grave. A failure in
vigor, impairment of appetite, troubled sleep,
loss of flesh and mental energy—these are tbe
infallible indications t bat show decay, anil ought
to suggest repair. The finest, surest, pleasant
est means of repairing pbysleal energy is Hoe
tetter’s Stomach Bitter::. Where the mineral
potions and weak apjietizers fail, this potent
botanic Invigorant succeeds. Whether feeble
ness is the attendant of disease, inherent in the
constitution, or tbe companion ot convalesoenee,
often very slow after wasting maladies, the Bit
ters has ever proved a reliable means of rem
edying it. through tho medium of Improved di
gestion. The Bitters cure malarial complaints,
rheumatLm, consiijiation aud kidney troubles.

THE DEBUTANTE'S OUTFIT.
What It Costa to Launch the Society
Girl.
(Copyright, 1888.)
New York, Nov. 17.—The outfit of a
debutante is becoming as elaborate as the
trousseau of a bride. Not infrequently it
costs as much, usually it is just as complete
and well ordered down to the minutest de
tail.
To launch a girl successfully in society as
charming as can be found may not involve
the expenditure of more than SSO. On the
other hand. $ 1,000 is of ten spoilt and $5,000
is not considered a large sum. Some fami
lies lavish SIO,OOO on the adornment of a
bud just ready to unfold its leaves.
It is an abrubt transition, that of the
little girl of yesterday into the young lady
ot to-day, and not improbably, it has c lied
for three or four months study in the ate
liers of Worth, with supplementary re
searches in the markets of Vienna a id Ber
lin to emphasize properly the change. The
society bud is out of the green calyx stage.
She shows the pink, and from the crown
of her pretty head to the soles of her dainty
feet her attire must bio in,
The debutante’s first ordeal is the intro
ductory tea. and the w’holo rosebud garden
of girls is busy just now laying out ribbons
ami posios ibr that formidable ceremony,
the youug aspirant for social favor pre
sented on such an occasion may wear, ap
propriately enough, white surah trimmed
with lace. Better than this, she may wear
a petticoat of ivory-colored cloth trimmed
with rows of narrow green ribbon, separat
ing bands of delicate tracery of g ild em
broidery. The gown is cut in simple,
straight Directory fashion—becoming to no
body if not to a girl—with sash of wrinkled
folds of white tied loosely about the
hips aud hanging on ore ride The waist
coat is of white embroidered in gold, and
the coat is of smooth-faced green cloth. 1 f
a gown of this manner does not suit my lit
tle lady she may we r soft white Japaue-e
crepe with full crossed surplice waist, and
sash of two long ends tailing amid tho side
draperies, finished with ti-sels and tiol
with ribbon; or thin flue col cut in the
same modified empire fashion, just as
pret y and even more youthful. Or, for an
entire change from the prevailing Nap
leonic styles, she may wear India camel’.-
hair, in old blue lined with rose-colored
surah; a drapery of rose-colored cord
formed into n network being onfi.it'd a the
right shoulder and allowed to fall in easv
foids to the bottom of tb' right side of the
gown. Greek effects being aimed at in the
draping.
AFTERNOON ATTIRE.
Next the teas, come the dances, and the
pretty creatures whose feet are already
beating time to imaginary music exhaust
the resources of white. White is the color
of the debutante as distinctively as it is
that of tbe bride. The debutante in tulle
has become a classic. Slender waist tightly
swathed in smooth white silk, rising like a
sea nymph from billows on billows of foam.
It looks purity and simplicity itself, but in
reality it is a very costly gown. There is
first the silk foundation skirt. Then there
are puffings and plaitings and financings of
muslin to give airiness and bouyancy. Then
there is skirt over skirt, nobody knows how
many skirts of tulle before the thistle down
is ready to float in tbe waltz. Twice she
will wear it, mi ybe three times if she be a
dainty and careful maid, then it is crushed
and broken beyond recognition, as if you
had rubbed the down off a butterfly’s wing.
The tulle fairy fastens flowers on her
shoulder. They trail across her bodice and
fall down over her skirt. Somethin* the
fancy takes her to depart from the tulle
conventions and become a flower herself.
Then she wears a poppy or a lily or a gose
gown. Her tulle skirts become petals, cut
after the shapo of the posy she has chosen,
and given freedom to sway as the flower
sways, making the pretty girl rise and fmli
with the lightness of the ballet dancer to
Strauss’ strains.
READY FOR THE DANCE.
A white crysanthernum gown is tho new
est conservatory notion in tulles, devised
by Morin-Blossier for a golden-haired dar
ling of fortune who is to make her bow
very shortly to Washington’s dames and
domoisolles. Throe outer tulle skirts form
scores of narrow, fringed petals, longer be
low, shorter above, the very likeness of so
ciety’s pet autumnal flower. There is a
gleam of gold at the flower’s heart about
the rounded waist. Chrysanthemum pins
in white enamel fasten the shoulder knots
and are thrust iuto the hole. The same
idea carried out in yellow tulle mimics the
witch hazel blossom lor a small and sprightly
Now York brunotte.
The debutante, if she goes out much, will
not start with less than two or threo and is
quite likely to want six or seven while even
ing gowns. As to material she is not by
any means confined to tuile. A brown
eyed damsel who expects a partner for
every dance tills winter, in which hope
may she not be disappointed, will make her
first appearance in white silk draped with
white gauze, run with gold threads and
fastened here and there with sprays of gold
leaves, Another gown ordered lor the
same confident young is of white
satin, over which is draped white net
ornamented with long stalks of lilies in ap
plique embroidery of silver. The bottom
of the net drapery is cut in squares failing
over a ruffle of white lace, finished with
silver embroidery and shiniug with silver
■pnngles.
A tall shadowy girl with a curious etbe
real charm is to come out in white tuile,
whose whiteness is not of the mual hard,
positive order. The foundation skirt of her
odd costume is of soft water green silk.
Over this are two skirts of smoky tulle and
then skirts of gray green tulle, growing
lighter in shade continually, tho outer skirt
being in itself and being made by the cloi and
co ors behind it, white like the white if
floating vapors, a soft white for the strange
dreamy creature whose it is.
EVENING WRAP AND COIFFURE.
A debutante of a iLffeijent order, plump
an l piquant, looks forward to her fiist b. 41
wit h anticipations of a good time in a petti
coat of white satin over widen is hung a pas
someuter.e drapery, all of sweet peas, ex< -
euted in gold and white silk cords and i e.ud-,
the richness of effect of this handiwork
being unsurpassed by any' of the treasured
relics of bygone courts and centuries.
White silk brocaded with flfteks of chip
ping sparrows makes a pretty gown, par
tially veiled with snow-flecked gauze, th:
snow being represented by tutts of ostrich
feathers.

NEW ART GOWNS.
Less conventional dresses are sometimes
dared by young and pretty candidates for
favors. Art gowns are now and then a
maid’s first love in point of costume. A
girl’s gown tlint goes back to the days of
Queen Blanche is made of exquisitely fine
white crepe loosely defining tho form, fast
ened liehind and confined just at the hip
with a girdle of pearls. The quaint sleeves
are puffed in wrinkling folds at the shoulder
and the bodice opens in a V bordered by
pearls and filled in with lace. A gown of
the first empire is of cream colored silk
with loose short waist gathered by a jew
eled belt. It has flowing angel sleeves fall
ing back from the round arms and fastened
on the shoulders by jewels. When the de
butante had supplied herself from such a
variety it may be that a couple of after
noon dresses have cost her $250, and t at
her six evening gowns have averaged $225
each, making $1,050 already spent, aud no
provision begun for theater wear, for dia
llers and receptions, for walking suits, for
morning gowns, for skating, for underwear,
tor cloaks, hats or tho multitudinous trifles
of a young woman’s dainty toilet. She will
want a visiting dress 'with petticoat of
faille francaise striped in blue and dull gold
or pink. Over this should te draped soft
blue camel’s hair. She will waut a prome
nade gown of gi ay or brown eamoi’s hair
heavily braided in black. She will want
something in warm Russian blue for tbe ice,
something else in wild rose silk for tbe
opera,and yet again in antique rose-colored,
ribbed velvet with draped overdress of
ivory poplin for an afternoon dance. She
will want pretty things in nun’s veiling and
cashmere for the house, and when her
dress bags and closets are full it will be
strange if she has not used up the best part
of another SI,OOO, to say n> it hing of the SOOO
which will go with no difficulty at ail into
millinery and wraps and silk chemises and
satin corsets and embroidered stockings and
gloves. Three thousand six hundred dol
lars have melted and knickknacks still re
main. Society is an expensive luxury, and
the society girl has a use for every penny
she can find. There is an immense amount
of money floatiugjabout nowadays, aud no
small share of it goes into the pretty belong
ings of pretty girls. Ellen Osborn.
Women Tricycliste.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Some of the ladies in and around this
city have made some good records. Mrs.
Jonnson, of Orange, N. J., has ridden over
a thousand miles during the season, one of
her longest rides being miles, in
company with her husband, on a tandem
tricycle, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Lewis, of
this city, spent the whole of last, summer on
a four through Europe on a tricycle. They
covered between one and two thousand
niUes.
Something new in the way of cyclic loco
motion lias ueeu introduced. It is a safety
bicycle for ladies. It is almost similar to
the ivdiuary i.leyc'e, except that the con
struction of the back bono or connecting
bar, vbich presented an insuperable dif
ficulty to a woman in her ordinary wearing
apparel, has been changed by curving it
town and upward in the shajre of a figure
2. By this arrangement when a lady is
seated upon the saddle with her feet on tho
pedals, there is nothing to jirevent her dress
from falling around her in a proper mau
ncr. There are four of these machines
wii ch are of English origin, in this city.
They are owned by Mr. and Mrs. Kirk
Brown, Mr. and Mrs, H. B. Hart, Mr. Cope
and Mr. Tucker of Germantown.
MEDICAL
Dyspepsia
Is ono of the most prevalent of diseases.
Few persons have perfect digestion.
One of Ayer’s fills, taken after dinner,
or a dose at night before retiring, never
fails to give relief in the worst cases,
and wonderfully assists the process of
nutrition. Asa family medicine, Ayer’s
Fills are unequaled.
Japies Quinn, 00 Middle st., Hartford,
Conn., testifies : “ 1 have used Ayer’s
Fills for the past thirty years and con
sider them an invaluable family medi
cine. I know of no belter remedy for
liver troubles, and have always found
them a prompt cure for dyspepsia.”
Lucius Alexander, of Marblehead,
Mass., was long a severe sufferer from
Dyspepsia, complicated with enlarge
ment of the Liver, most of the time
being unable to retain any food in iiis
stomach. Three boxes of Ayer’s Pills
cured bim.
Frederic G. Greener, of East Dedham,

Indigestion, was cured before bo used
