[Special Correspondence.! New York, March -28.—I never re alized before what a blessed privilege it must be to be a man. Just to be one of those blessed mortals who only have to choose between a stove pipe and a Derby, a stiif hat or a slouch. What happiness! To be a woman just now is to be distracted by a million beauties in Husband and Wife. „ Among other absurdities we have well meaning husbands and wives harassing one another to death for no reason in the world but the desire of conforming to current notions regarding the proper conduct of married people. These vic tims are expected to go about perpetu ally together, as if they were a pair of carriage horses; to be forever: holding claims over one another, exacting or making useless sacrifices, and generally getting in one another’s way. The man who marrtes finds that his liberty has gone, and the woman exchanges one set of restrictions for another. has been revived, and.one or two of the most extravagant wraps of the season are nearly covered with this work. Vel vet and silk wraps trimmed with this are very elegant. Jet In the finer quali- *es will always tk used on black silk, and nothing is so handsome, but for the colored cloth suits and all other season able wool goods the embroidered panels and bunds, or the braiding will be largely employed as trimming. Jerseys have made another bid for their old time popularity, and now they are seen in all the prettiest new colors and in black made with yokes of honey comb smocking. The waist is sometimes gathered in with a belt, and sometimes left loose in Garibaldi style/ and then again they are seen in sailor shape, but the prettieut are those whieh are smocked at the waist line as Well as across the shoulders. T very popular She thinks herself neglected if the husband does not always return to her in the evenings, and the husband and society think her un- dutiful, frivolous, and so forth, if she does not stay at home alone trying to righ him back again. The luckless man finds his wife so very dutiful and domesticated, and so very much confined to her “proper sphere." that she is, perchance, more exemplary than entertaining. Still, she may look injured and resigned, but she must not seek society and occupation on her own account, adding to the common mental store, bringing new interest and knowl edge into the joint existence, and becom ing thus a contented, cultivated and agreeable beiug.

Smocking enters so largely into the dec oration of all kinds of costumes that one is to be pardoned for talking so much It is seen even on bonnets and about it. hat trimmings, and I saw a pair of pink silk stockings which had a row of smock ing two inches wide up the instep.

You see a dhinty “creation” in white Dunstable, with a brim smashed into seven different forms, and with a bunch of magnificent red poppies lying like lambent flames along all these while a cool green field of oat 9-12w creases, _ heads is massed upon the crown, and your heart longs for it; but the milliner tells you that that style is only becoming to very young ladies. You didn’t for a moment think of wearing that hat, but you might have bought it just for its suggestions of summer sunshine and harvest. Crushed in that instance you find a great ■ flaring gray hat. with the softest plumes shading from pure white through all the grays to a jet black, and these held in place by a fine steel buckle and a band of velvet just the color of a little blind mole, and you ask the price of it confidently, to discover that it is $54. Ever since that time I have been trying to discover why fifty-four instead of fifty- five. The person who could afford it 'at that price certainly would not have found the other dollar burdensome. 1 often wonder where milliners expect to go when they die, or don’t they believe in a hereafter? The Mysterious Wrestler. In Mr. A. C. Gunter’s new book, “That Frenchman,” the scene opens in Paris during the last years of the second em pire, changes to St. Petersburg and ilipn to the German Russian frontier. The tale is melodramatic in character, as are Mr.. Gunter’s other books, but the author states that he has tried to develop more comedy. The advance orders he reports at 40,000. He has introduced as one of hischaracters “the wrestler in the mask," a man who produced a great sensation in Paris in 1867 and ’68. This person was supposed to be some great nobleman who was fond of wrestling. He was in the habit of driving to the scene wrap|>ed in a long cloak, under which he wore his wrestling dress. On his face he had a small, black silk mask. He met aU com ers and was never defeated. Naturally he was the source of gossip, and the halls or circus was crowded when it was an nounced that he was to appear.—Current Literature. NEW COIFFURES FOR YOUNG LADIES. and to obviate this sad catastrophe fash ion has decided that all } oung ladies whose fort&feads are pretty shall wear their hair slightly waved and turned chat- back from the face and either in elaine braid, hanging in one long braid in the back or simply tied in the nape of the neck by a becoming ribbon. All married ladies, no matter how young, and all giddy matrons, no mattet how old, must make martyrs of themselves as usual, with their hair crimped, waved or curled down over their foreheads. Still there is some latitude allowed, and people of independent spirit can de viate enough to adopt the style most be coming to individuals. Among the new hats, Dunstable is the most stylish, and they are faced with a satiny straw or with lace, or with velvet, Chronic Female DiscaiM. Leucorrhoeu.

It was at an examination here in Boston that a young woman found herself con fronted with the question: “Are you of good moral character?" She was very much amused at the question and in doubt how to treat it. Calling the examiner to her desk she said about the question: “I have the reputation of being of good moral character. But you know ‘reputation’ is what people think of us, while ‘character’ is what God and the angels know of us, and that I don't want to tell" * The examiner said she need not worry. —Albany Express.
