New York, Aug 4.—lf only it had been
possible for mothers to have waited until
no w to buy their darlings’ outfits for the
summer 1 What a small purse they would
have needed 1 And those who bought
oniv a few dresses at the beginning of the
warm season, waiting for reduction time
to come around, are now fully rewarded.
There would seem to be even more bar
pains in children's wear than in ladies’,
from the appearance of counters and shop
windows. Fifty cents, I think, is the
lowest price at which a child’s dress may
oe secured: and it is a very serviceable
morning dress, with simple deep hem,
and a large shoulder ruffle that falls to
waist line.
There are very pretty percale suits that

laundry beautifully, for girls from 12 to
16. in light pretty patterns, made with
dainty ruffles, for $1.50.
One dollar and seventy-nine cents was
the next price that attracted my atten
tion. It offered one a thin, delicate lawn
of pink and white stripe, made with a
white yoke of stripes of embroidery and
lace. Two full ruffles of the pink fell be
low, as well as over the shoulders. The
sleeves were white and edged with em
broidery. Young misses were able to
procure very pretty morning dresses with
simple ruffles, in pale lawn stripes, for
$1.29.
The duck suits cost from $1.50 to $2.50,
neatly made and well shaped. A cool
white suit for a young lady of 16, made to
fall to the feet, is of sheer batiste, with
one ruffle at the bottom. The waist has
shoulder bretelles of white embroidery,
which point down to the belt. Between
these ruffles, the bodice is laid in fine
folds. A simple belt is made in three
folds, and the full sleeves are tucked at
the wrist. This dress costs $5.
Another dainty one for a young lady of
the same age costs a dollar less. The ma
terial is a bastiste also, in fine pink and
white stripe this time, dotted with a
small black figure. The ruffles which
form the trimming are embroidered in a
deep scallop, in black. Two of them
trim the skirt. The scalloo comes into
play in the easy, cool surplice which
forms the waist. The sleeves reach
only to the elbow, with ruffle falling
therefrom.
A warmer dress, designed for seaside

Fear, is of bright scarlet serge, trimmed
with rows of narrow serpentine braid, in
white. It is made jacket style, with a
cool white waist beneath. The narrow
belt is trimmed with braid, as are the
cuffs and the sharp revers. This dress is
marked $6.00
For the careful mother who superin
tends tbe making of each gown and never
buys a ready-made dress at the shops,
there are all the bright, cool materials
worn by older folk, to select from. There
is this difference, however, that large
Patterns will he avoided, and dainty,
hue figures sought after. Bright colors
ate in vogue for children,’ especially
younger ones. Bright com
binations in scarlets and beige,
marine blues and whites,
tnades of pink, are largely worn. The

soilness of the fold, and the fact that

Pale corn yollow, specked with dots of tho
same shade. It is relieved by touches of
mack velvet ribbon. The ribbon, in No.

uown in front by a stee.l buckle, so as not
be uncomfortably high. Elaborate

•noui(i er . Tho bodice has a skirt of some
twelve inches falling over the hips, and
this is prettily trimmed by deep loops of
black set a few inches apart, all around.
The bodice itself is slightly gathered, and
two rows of fine cream insertion are set
in points to define the yoke. The belt is
encircled with the black.
A unique gown is in clear, deep cherry
color, with a simple sk.rt trimming of a
broad band of cherry, two shades deeper.
The waist has an elaborate front of fine
embroidery, forming a plastron which
narrows as it nears the belt; but spreads
over the shoulders into large ruffles.
Catching down the plastron, each side, is
a narrow fold of silk, in the deepest shade
of cherry. But that which first claims at
tention is the full panier which falls
gracefully over each hip.
A combination seaside suit is a charm
ing arrangement of bright marine blue
and white. Over the skirt of plain blue
falls an overskirt of white, so long that
only a few inches of the blue are visible.
The bodice is fitted close r, made of al
ternate stripes of blue and white, and a
line between is markeu by the dark blue
belt. Over the piain waist falls the
jauntiest of small blue jackets, with
high small revers at the neck And
still further protection is afforded by the
short, detached capo that is added,
lined with white silk that shades into a
blue now and then. The sleeves are ma
rine blue.
For younger children there are styles
somewhat simpler, but equally chic. One
pert little miss is clad all in pale blue and
white. The material is a blue crepe, and
the small gathered slip is trimmed from
top to bottom with rows of broad lace in
sertion. A deep lace collar encircles the
neck. A pretty sash arrangement is seen
at the left side, starting under the arm
and running across the front, upward to
the lace collar, where it ends in a bow of
loops only. Beneath the sash at the left
my little lady has daintily lifted her
frock, and caught it in a pretty blue knot.
So that the plain blue petticoat shows
below. She wears the biggest of blue
hats about which a ruffle of lace +alls al
most to her eyes. She is an old-fashioned,
attractive little miss.
The little lady that walks next her,
and carefully takes her hand, is a trifle
taller, and more of a woman. Her gown
is a cool summer silk, of faint mixed
pinky shades, rather subdued. The gown
is slipped over a cool white guimpe. Its
yoke is gathered a little and over the
folds are laid three rows of brownish in
sertion, both back and front. Over each
shoulder there stretches a fetching little
fan arrangement, made of silk, accordeon
pleated A smaller and fuller fan stands
protectingl.y over the other half, hiding
the maiden's ears.
The wool challies, that women have
largely discarded since newer and cooler
materials have come among us, are still
used for young maidens. They are
trimmed with lace and velvet ehoux, the
shade of the flowers that dot them.
CHASED INTO A STEEPLE.
A Negro Imprisoned 200 Feet Above
Ground to Be Starved Out.
From the Philadelphia Record
Cincinnati, 0., Julv 28.—1n the steeple
of St. Philomona’s Catholic church, 200
feet above ground, is held imprisoned an
unknown negro, who was chased up there
by the police. He will be starved out.
The fellow was discovered among the
coal in the priest’s cellar, yesterday
morning, by a servant girl. She screamed
and the negro ran into the yard, and up
stairs into the attic The girl’s cries at
tracted a crowd,and two policemen went
into the church to arrest the negro. He
was discovered lying on a beam, but when
knocked off,he jumped off and fired several
shots at his pursuers and made for the
belfry door. He rushed in, ran down the
steps to the choir loft, jumped forty feet
to the floor below, sprang up and ran
tnrough a door leading to the steeple, up
which he disappeared.
Harvard college has recently extended a
call to Kev. Joseph Estlla Carpenter of Oxford
college. England, to become one of the college
preachers.

They sat after dinner on the’veranda of
a charming country house, says the New
York Tribune, and somebody started a
cynical talk on ‘"the uses of the poor” by
reading aloud this newspaper paragraph :
"An appeal has been made for half
worn clothing to send to a poor minister
in charge of a country parish, and a well
dressed woman, discussing the matter
with a neighbor, said: T will just get out
that old cloak of mine. It is so full of
moths I dare not keep it in the house any
longer, and I might as well send it out
there as not.’”
The reporter of this remark had added:
"The recording angel doubtless knows
how to appraise second-hand clothing
sent in missionary boxes, and would
charge up the sending of the moth
eaten cloak on the proper side of his
ledger.” The kindly hostess who amid
her many social duties finds time for
much charitable work looked up from
her embroidery thoughtfully. "Last
spring,” she said, “when one of our city
clergymen asked for discarded cloth
ing for the parish poor, he begged the
ladies to store their partly worn furs and
other heavy clothing until the winter, as
even the poor do not take kindly to such
garments for midsummer wear. He had
in mind the limitation of closet-room even
in large city houses, and the fact that
the poor may be more useful as recipients
of bulky cast-off when room must be made
for the new stock of the season. Some
persons adopt the plan of selling their
old clothes, but that grates up the finer
feelings; besides, there are many things
for whigh the dealers would pay noth
ing.
"Another use of the poor in this connec
tion," she continued, "is that they enable
one to compromise with one's conscience
on the score of economy. One woman, for
instance, has decided to set aside a cer
tain sum periodically for church or char
ity. She has some partially worn cloth
ing which it is not convenient to make
over. She reasons with herself that if
she gives the old clothes to the poor they
will be more useful than money, and her
money reserved for charity can go to
ward her suit. She has the gratitude of
the recipient—though some appear un
grateful—and benevolence and economy
are appeased.”
•‘Then,” said the clever woman, “there
is 'slumming' as a diversion, penance or
transitory fad, as the case may be. More
over, there's the application of the poor
as poultices to trouble-stricken souls—of
ten beneficial to the poulticed, if not to
the poor. Of course, I know that one's
own suffering often calls forth a deeper
sympathy with the sufferings of others.
I object only to the sham, when acquaint
ance with the sorrows of the poor is
sought merely as a balm to one’s own—by
way of contrast or diversion of thought,
or as a relief from ennui, perhaps.”
“Then the poor are useful to authors,
artists and orators,” said the clubman.
"I know a writer—a fellow who taught
in a downtown mission with the object of
studying types, and wrote some pathetic
stories from these studies. When he had
acquired the desired information he gave
up his mission work. He afterward re
marked of some members of his class that
they were ‘not poor enough to be pic
turesque.’ ”
The hostess smoothed the fair locks of
the little head that leaned against her
shoulder. “After all,” she said softly,
“we do appreciate the love that shows it
self in self sacrificing work forothe poor
and the sorrowing; though we refuse the
counterfeit, we don't dishonorthe genuine
note issued by the bank of Benevolence.”
People about to marry, says the La
dies Pictorial, do not as a rule, eeliber
atel.v sit down and make up their minds
to ‘ meet their doom” on scientific princi
ples. You may arrange your wardrobe
by correspondence with "Butterfly;”
you may eat and drink according to the
dictates of “Fourchette” or "Cheff,” or
some other culinary authority who de
livers judgment in print. You may
model your society manners and tone on
the rules laid down for you by "Comme
il-Faut,” but when it comes to choosing a
wife or selecting a husband, even the en
tire staff of your pet weekly journal can
avail you nothing. Physiognomists,
palmists, graphologists, philosophers,
married editors and family folk may
each and all give advice, it is true, but
whatman or woman was ever guided in
the least degree by any one but himself
or herself when the great plunge
into matrimony is about to
be taken’ Dr. Paolo Mantegazza,
however, is vain enough to fancy that
he has found a means of guiding a
young man’s fancy when it lightly turns
to thoughts of love. And to this end he
has written a book. Doubtless he is under
the impression that his “Art of Taking a
Wife” will become a kind of lover’s hand
book, a standard work, which mothers
will place in their son's hands together
with the Bible, and which all would-be
Benedicts will consult, as a matter of
course, just as on occasions we refer to
the encyclopedia or the London directory.
In all seriousness he has compiled a vol
ume. purporting to set forth in scientific
fashion all that goes to make or mar a
marriage, and in the evident belief that
if only the precautions to which he
alludes are taken, and his ponderous trite
advice is followed the great marriage
problem will be solved, and everybody
will "live happy ever after.”
It would now be most interesting to
know what course Dr. Mantegazza would
recommend the other side to take. This
naif and amusingly serious counsel to his
own sex on the great and always en
thralling subject of marriage makes one
most curious to know his views on the
art of taking husbands. He is philosophic
enough to have come to the conclusion
that a marriage is about the least disa
greeable system ever yet arrived at with
relation to the sexes, and he thinks he
has found the secret of making it as com
fortable as possible for man, but we feel
that he has a yet greater work to do, that
his self-imposed mission is not yet accom
plished. He must put women on the right
I track: he must guide us as well into the
j straight path of domestic bliss, and then,
: perhaps, the New Woman will cease from
troubling and Sir Francis Jeune will be at
rest.
Have you ever noticed, says the New
York World, how many people have ears
which project, eyes which look bald be
cause they have no eyelashes and brows,
and thumbs which are broad and fiat on
the end' That is because in infancy their
mothers were either indifferent or igno-
I rant of a few simple observances which
i would ha\e obviated all these physical
defects Babies for the first few years
are really only bundles of malleable carti-
I laqe. and it behooves mothers to see that
this cartilage is not trained in the wav it
should not go.
About the ears— Many men and women
to day have to thank the bonnet strings
of infant years for oval appendages
which establish a resemblance between
them and donkeys. Mothers should avoid
tying anything behind the baby's ears. A
good plan, when the baby is asleep, is to
lay it on its side, so the little head will
press the ear flat. So common has become
this disfigurement that skeleton caps are
made to press the baby 's ears close to the
head. A silk handkerchief, however,
drawn over the top of the bead, down
over the ears and tied securely under the
chin answers the same purpose. Chil
dren with ears which project should
sleep with this arrangement over the
ears.
Many children inherit "bald” eyes, or
eyes without lashes, and only a shadow
where the brows should be This is es
pecially the case where one or both
parents are blondes.
Pure vaseline rubbed on the brows
several times daily and put on the lashes
at night will promote immediate growth.
Nor does this apply only to children, but
is equally efficient with adults.
Nothing too strong can be said against
permitting children to suck their thumbs.
Charming and heart-delighting as this
common occupation of the baby is to the
average mother, nothing will more surely
ruin the shape of the hands It is the
cause of broad, flat thumbs in after life.
There are preparations to put upon the
baby's thumbs which will render these
rosy digits less palatable, and after one
or two attempts baby will soon forget the
injurious habit.
Cotton, lisle and silk stockings are all
worn, writes Isabel A. Mallon in an arti
cle that cannot fail to please all women,
under the title “Dainty Styles in Lin
gerie” in the August Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Many women, myself among the
number, prefer a cotton to a lisle thread
stocking, inasmuch as the twist of the
threads in the lisle ones irritates the
soles of the feet. Dark blue and black
stockings are liked for street wear, ex
cept when tan shoes are worn, and then,
of course the stockings match the shoes.
The navy blue stocking is usually
chosen by thbse who tind that the
dye from a black stocking affects
their skin. This is by no means common,
but the very minute it is discovered one
should cease wearing the black and select
another color, or else wear white, for one
never knows to what extent a skin disor
der may go. With gray or scarlet shoes
or slippers the stockings are chosen to
match, and these may be gotten in silk
at a much lower price than is given for
black ones. Many women have discov
ered that the wearing of suspenders
pulls a silk stocking so that it “rail
roads," which means "goodbv" to the
stocking, and so for this reason the wear
ing of the garter above the knee is gain
ing in favor.
The various devices of the lone female
for self-protection under possible emerg
encies. says the New York Tribune, are
sometimes very funny. The elderly
maiden lady who has an eager soul, de
spite her timidity, and has visited every
country in Europe, and most of the out
of-the-way places in America, confesses
to having actually purchased a pair of
man's boots to put outside her door at
night in suspicious-looking inns, instead
of her own tell-tale No. 3s. Another mid
dle-aged traveler, who makes yearly pil
grimages to the home of various friends
and relatives, always labels herself as if
she were a package, with the name of
her next destination. "You see, if I
should suddenly die they would at least
forward you my corpse,” she remarked
cheerfully to one of her hostesses, to
whom she was explaining her system.
Boots—men’s boots, that is—seem to in
spire much confidence in the unprotected
female, for another lady, whose husband
and son are often away, also uses them in
lieumf her natural protectors, and during
their absence places the boots at night
before the door of every unoccupied room,
in order to impress the nocturnal visitor.
Another fixed conviction in the minds
of many women is that they will become
insensible some day in the street, and
many are the expedients adopted to in
sure a knowledge of their identity in such
an emergency. It really seems as if their
dread was not unreasonable, for a man,
with his multitudindiis pockets, has. as a
rule, papers in plenty to show who he is,
while a woman has only her pocketbook,
which, in nine cases out of ten, she holds
in her hand, and would drop if suddenly
attacked with illness. To meet this diffi
culty one woman has given standing
orders to her dressmaker to stitch a tape
bearing her name and address just inside
the front of every dress, so that when
the long-expected faint occurs and "they”
unbutton her gown to give her air
•’they” will know where to take
her. Original burglar scares are
very popular in rural districts, and
some of the methods adopted are very in
genious. "I am so sorry, dear, that I
shall have to put you on theground floor.”
said a lady farmer to her guest, who
would not have dreamed of feeling ner
vous if she had not seen the precautions
adopted for her safety, but who confessed
the next morning to having spent a night
of terror. "You see, 1 shall make you
quite safe,” continued her hostess. “My
room is just at the head of the stairs, and
1 have hung a fish horn for you to blow at
the side of your bed in case you feel
frightened, and I am quite sure no bur
glars can enter through the windows
without your knowing it. for I have tied
a bell at each joining of the shutters, and
have put red pepper ail over the sills to
make them sneeze!”
Her eyes were not “cerulean blue.”
Her silken tresses "do not ' fall
In rippling waves of amber hue:'
She has no "special gift ’ at all—
This gentle woman sweet and good.
Who sprang not from a royal race.
Yet wears her crown of womanhood
With more than queenly grace
She does not seem to float on air.
Like thistledown, amidst the dance;”
Nor would her modest spirit care
To "hold men spellbound with a glance."
But she is gracious to the poor;
The sick and sorrowful aver
That when she enters at their door
The sunshine foil jw her.
She has not soared to Learning's hlghts.
Or sounded W is lorn s depths profound,
She only claims her woman s rights
Where tasks for tender hands abound;
Yet though she shrinks from themes ahstuse.
Nor studies ethics" overmuch,
The common things in daily use
Grow fairer at her touch.
Enjoying most where most she loves,
She has no gieit desire to roam,
But by her pure example proves
How love may sanctify the home
And thus she rules with kindly hand
The rr aim she understands the best,
While all her happy household band
Arise and call her blest.
—Chambers’ Journal.
lam continually being asked, says a
writer in tbe Ladies’ Home Journal, what
stays I vvculd advise. Being an advocate
of the well-fitting, properly-worn corsets,
I can only say, in the first place, that 1
do not believe in stays that are too tight,
a something that can never be said about
an absolutely well-fitting one Over long
corsets are seldom desirable, inasmuch
as they turn over on the edge and the
bones are apt to press upon the abdomen
in a way that is not pleasant. A high
busted corset should be selected for the
woman who is rather large, but for her
who is slender a lower one will be found
to fit better and to give a better shape.
French dressmakers all prefer a short cor
set. Never buy your corset too large in the
bust. They simply turn over and make
an ugly lump, and do not, as you expect,
appear to increase the size of the bust.
Eten if one buys coutille corsets a silk
lacing should be gotten, as. not only will
it last longer and be found to draw with
greater ease, but it will not. like the
round eotton lace, imprint itself upon the
back of your bodice. The gauze corset is
comfortable for summer wear, and if a
good quality is gotten one should be able
to wear it an entire season Personally,
Ido not think there is any economy in
buying a cheap corset, as the bones will
break and the material fray before it has
absolutely adapted itself to one's shape.
The eternal fitness of things, says the
New York Tribune, is anything but ap
parent. as a rule, in feminine headgear,
and the manifest incongruity between a
bedi ened hat and the wearer would
oftentimes be really laughable if it were
not an accepted fact of our curious civili
zation that a woman of any age may put
flowers, ribbons, or even stuffed birds on
her head, regardless of the absurditv of
wrinkles and rosebuds It really should
be a law of fashion that flowers should
be worn only by the young and fair. Let
every one with a sense of humor, for in
stance. watch for a few minutea the
thronging crowd of shoppers in Twenty
third and Fourteenth street, and note the
old. haggard and careworn faces crowned
with brilliant flowers and bright
ribbons, and be cannot fail to be
amused if the pathetic side which is al
ways akin to the ridiculous in our sad
humanity does not happen to strike him
lirst, and an involuntary pity for the poor
old things stifle the laughter. Lace is
always dignified, beautiful and becoming.
Rich ribbons in subdued tints are also
suitable Velvets seem particularly
adapted for women who have passed their
first youth, while for lighter trimmiugs
there are always jet. cut steel and other
ornamentations, affording an abundant
choice, without recourse to flowers and
chiffons, which aro manifestly out of
place.
That was a sensible New Orleans
mother, says the New York Picayuue,
who. when her bright 16-year-old
daughter, came home for vacation from
the old Crsulines convent the other day,
placed in her hands a pattern, a pair of
scissors and a pretty roll of muslin, and
told her smilingly that she was going to
supplement the “isms and ‘ologies” she
had acquired at school b.v a little practi
cal lesson in work, which must eventu
ally form a part of every woman's
life. And one may imagine the pleasure
this sweet maiden felt when, as the hours
wore away, she saw the filmy folds
taking shape beneath ner deft fingers.
When evening came she was able to put
on a dress of her own making—the first
she had had ever made- and going up to
her good mother she said in the fullness
of her heart, at tne new and
happy experience that had come
into her young life, “I don’t
know how long it is going to last, but,
mamma, I like sewing mighty well.” Now
isn't this a lovely picture of home life,
and a mother's gentle influence in train
ing her daughter to industrious and neces
sary work, and so guiding her young, un
skilled hands, that she could make a
dress in one day and not feel fatigued or
disgusted with the work and thrown it
aside in despair as so many girls might
have done. And what this thoughtful
mother has done, every earnest, far
sighted mother may do in these vacation
days, when time bangs heavily on youth
ful hands, and superabundance of activity
needs direction into useful channels. In
all the years to come this sweet girl
will never forget that first dress she
made and wore, and above all that
“mother” showed her how to make it.
A wealth}’ New York woman who
spends her summers in Sharon, Conn.,
says the Now York Times, has estab
lished there this summer a philanthropy
that is ns lovely as it is benoficient. She
bought a small house with several acres
of land, just out of the town, and built a
large addition of one story, fitted up in
the best manner for a child's hospital.
Twelve of tbe worst cases from the hos
pital for the Crippled and Ruptured, on
Forty-second street, were taken up there
June 1. and will remain until well into
September. They have their own resi
dent physician and nurses, with matron
and servants. The ward is large and airy
and the children have improved very
fast; some of them really look brown and
healthy. Few of them could sit up except
on invalid chairs specially contrived to
suit eacn case, but now every child gets
out of doors under the trees, and many of
them can move about. The retreat is
solelj forchildren.the eldest there now be
ing 11 years old. and its founder has fanci
fully and prettily called the place “Bobo
link.”
No phase of hospital suffering is more
(edious and unbearable than that of de
formed and crippled children, and the be
nevolence which has for its aim the miti
gation of their pain-racked lives, is good
ness that comes straight from heaved.
Nine persons out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eye will instantly begin to rub the eye
with one hand while hunting for their
handkerchief with the other. They may,
and sometimes do, remove the
offending cinder, but more fre
quently they rub until the eye
becomes inflamed, bind a handkerchief
around the head, and go to bed. This is
all wrong. The better way is net to rub
the eye with the cinder in it at all. but
rub the other eye as vigorously as you
like, according to a writer in the Medical
Summary, who relates the following ex
perience ;
“A few years since I was riding on the
engine of a fast express. The engineer
threw open the front window, and I
caught a cinder that gave me the most
excruciating pain I began to rub the
eye with both hands. ‘Let your eye
alone and rub the other eye’ (this from
the engineer). I thought he was chaffing
me, and worked the harder. ‘I know you
doctors think you know it all, but if you
will let that eye alone and rub the
other one, the cinder will be
out in two minutes,’ persisted the
engineer 1 began to rub the other
eye; soon I felt the cinder down near the
inner canthus, and made ready to take it
out • Let it alone and keep at the well
eye,’ shouted the doctor pro tern. I did
so for a minute longer, and looking in a
small glass he gave me found the offender
on my cheek. Since then I have tried it
manv times, and have advised many
others, and have never known it to fail in
one instance, unless it was as sharp as a
piece of steel or something that cut into
tbe ball and required an operation to re
move it.”
SOME ODDITIES IN ETIQUETTE.
What Is Considered Proper and Im
proper in Different Countries.
In Holland a lady is expected to retire
precipitately if she should enter a store
or restaurant where men are congregated.
She waits until they have transacted
their business and departed.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to receive a
male visitor, and they rarely accompany
him to the door, lor a Spaniard to give
a lady—even bis wife—his arm while out
walking is looked upon as a violation of
propriety.
No Turk will ever enter a sitting room
with dirty shoes. The upper classes wear
tight-fitting shoes with goloshes over
them. Tbe latter, which receive all the
dirt and dust, are left outside the door.
The Turk nover washes in dirty water.
Water is poured over hit hands, so that
when polluted it runs away.
in Syria the people never take off their
hats or turbans when entering the bouse
or visiting a friend, but they always
leave their shoes at the door. There aro
no mats or scrapers outside, and the
floors inside are covered with expensive
rugs, kept very clean in Moslem houses
ami used to kneel upon while praying.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be
fore calling, anil, gives a day's notice if tbe
visit is one of great importance. He is
