The hairdresser seems to believe that
the pompadour is tottering to its fall. The
justifieatlon for this way of thinking lies
in the irrefulabie foot that a great many
women who are zealously mindful of their
good looks and repuiation for taste are
appearing in the evening with their locks
combed low. Not. indeed, in a Langtry
club, which nt best was an unbecoming
ar.d uncomfortable coiffure, but arranged
in two full globe-like rolls pinned below
the crown and above the nape, and deco
rated with short-toithed, pearl crowned
combs thrust In at the base of every fold.
This does not prevent the soft waving of
the front of the hair, but such an arrange
ment would appear simply foolish with a
classic pompadour, and the front hair is
sottiy combed back without a central
part.
Those whose faces are to broad to ac

theless quelling the proud rod up from
the brow and placing the puffs and'bands

A DEARTH OF YOl \'G TAILORS.
The More Masculine a Woman I. the
More She Depends l pon Man.
New York. July 20.—A short time ago
the tailors' trade was of exclusively mas
culi M geninc, men catering to men as
does the barbers' or the gunsmiths' trade
to-day. Then woman discovered the com
fort ar.d availableness of tai'.or-made gar
ments and appropriated a large share of
the tailor's skill to herself, thus aug
menting the number of people to be work
ed for, while adding nothing to the cla*s
who were to do the work. For women
may never hope to he tailors. Strength
os much as skiii. the heavy iron os well
as the pliant needle, is essential in the
trade, and with all her cleverness and art
no woman can turn out a cloth gown or
cloth mantel or jacket and have the look
and feel to tile wearer as It looks ahl
feels when made by a man. In this par
ticular Industry she falls short of the
man's standard in the character of her
work.
"Women make better lawyers and min
isters than tailors,” said a prominent au
thority. "They might be employed in
the lighter details, but never for the fun
damental part of the work. That must
be .lone by men, and the scarcity of skill
ed labor is to-day, as it has been for sev
eral years, a very grave consideration,
and it is apt to increase rather than to
lessen since there ore no young appren
tices coming on. The American boy,
even the son of the foreign born tailor,
is averse to learning the trade.. He thinks
it womanish to sit sewing on the bench,
and the increased attention devoted to
feminine costumes has seemingly strength
ened- his aversion. I have myself offered
all manner of inducements to bright-wit
ted, active lads to learn the business, but
they prefer to become plumbers or briek-

layers, printers or engineers, to be any
thing, in fact, but tailors, such as their
fathers or uncles are.
"If the boys could be made to see It,
there are os good, if not better, chances
for a successful career in tailoring than
hi many other railings. It Is one of the few
trades ill which a man's value increases
as he grows older. The skilled carpenter,
stonemason, etc., is apt to be set aside
when Ills vigor declines. AVith middle life
he has passed his usefulness, but the old
old tailor, schooled in every vagary of his
art, Is even more highly prized than are
the young and vigorous workmen. Pa
tience, Infinite practice and experience are
his tools,and these are the dowry of years.
The most prosperous merchant tailors and
owners of sumptuous establishments In
this country began as workmen on the
bench. It require* from two to three
year*' shop apprenticeship to make a cred
itable workman, and as long to develop In
to a first-class cutter and designer.

of ideas and origination of methods. Bel
gium and Sweden send out the best men.
In Germany also the &tan<iard is high, and
good men acquire the trade. Europe's best
journeyman tailors, of all nations, come
to the United States, attracted by the 54
ar.d 55 a day wages, but the rank and file
of the unskilled workmen come also, and
there is no means of separating the fit
from the unfit except by actual trial, and
often at the cost of a ruined garment."
The merchant tailors’ exchanges in all
the large cities have long been concerned
as to the shortage of skilled labor. They
have fostered schools of tailoring and of
fered free tuition and prizes for the best
made coat, trousers or waistcoat executed
by an apprentice. In nearly every case
their efforts have been futile. A school
that could accommodate fifty pupils and
was officered by enthusiastic patrons, who
secured the most competent teachers,
would have only a dozen or more schol
ars. The New York tailors’ exchange
even established a gymnasium, where the
tailors' apprentices could have an offset
to their sedentary work, but enthusiasm
was not to be created. Even the poorest
boj's declined to enlist. They preferred
clerking at $6 or $7 a week with no chance
of promotion rather than a trade that de
manded such close attention, no matter
what future prizes were offered. Conse
quently there is a mere handful of ap
prentices learning the trade, and at each
recurring busy season the headquarters
for cutting systems and tailors’ devices are
besieged for skilled outers, designers and
sewers to fill positions in tailors’ estab
lishments in the various towns and cities.
There are not enough first rank workmen
to go round. The half skilled labor is
used in default of better, and their blund
ers evoke anathemas in the back 6hops,
and much fault finding and consequent
irritation before the board.
It is interesting to note the growth of
the trade which has b come so indisoen
sable to woman's well being. Fourteen or
fifteen years ago th re were only a few
Paris tailors making a specialty of "Ama
zones,” as laoles' riding habi.s were term
ed. Then a woman, a leader of fashion,
who loook and exceptionally well in a se
verely simple habit, conceived the idea
of having a street gown similarly planned
to s*t off her charms. The tailor who mod
e.c-d the innovation took special pains to
please his paroness. Orhrr women saw,
admired and imitated. It became a fad to
have at least one man-made gown in a
fashionable wardrobe. And first class tail
ors encouraged the idea by grafting exclu
sive ladies’ departments cn to their origi
nal plant and employing the best talent
to supply designs. Then (he business wo
man and her domestic sister of conserva
tive tas'e perceived how well the tailor
made gown withstood wear and became
occasions when a more dressy costume
was unsuitable. These began to order tail
or-made gowns,and the tailors,recognizing
this increased opportunity, began to make
up models sufficiently moderate in price
to appeal to conservative purses. The in
fection spread, the comfort and conven
ience of the growns being ttieir own com
mendation.
•It is a quaint commentary that woman,
the nearer she approaches to the woman’s
.ights type in essaying man’s occupations,
should the more depend upon him. to
clothe her. For all the professional wo-
habitually wear tailor-made gowns,
as does the efficient woman clerks, secre
taries and supervisors, buyers and agents.
And the club woman and woman philan-
hen she is called upon to direct
a meeting or address a conference of
workers, picks out her tailor-made gown
to wear as the most suitable exponent of
her attitude in the matter of dress.
DELICIOUS PEACH DESSERTS.
A Pickle, a Foam, an Ice, a Cheese,
n Compote, n Sauce, a Jelly, a Pad
ding and n Pie.
To prepare Jellied peaches, pare and cut
in halves one dozen peaches, and cook
for ten minutes in boiling syrup, made of
one and one-half cups of sugar and a
pint of water. On taking the saucepan
from the fire turn into it half a box of
gelatine which has been eoaking for two
hours in about one-half cup of water.
Set the saucepan into a basin of cold
water, stirring' occasionally until the mix
ture becomes cool, but before It turns to
jelly turn the mixture into a mold and put
in the ice for two or three hours. When
ready to serve, turn out on a flat dish
and cover the Jelly with whipped cream.
A tablespoon of maraschino put with the
gelatine improves the flavor of this con
fection.
A Compote.—To make o compote of
peaches, cut the pared fruit in half and
put in a saucepan with four tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Let them get heated
through. Put each half peach on a square
of sponge cake, hollow side up. Moisten
one tablcspoonful of cornstarch with cold
water, adding two teaspoonfuls of lemon
Juice and one egg very lightly whipped,
mixing with the peach syrup, and let all
boil together for a few moments. When
slightly cool, pour o-ver the peaches and
put in a cold place. The syrup will jelly
all about the fruit end tnake an appetiz
ing dish. Serve with plain or tvhipped
cream. This dessert is quickly prepared,
or within an hour if you have ice.
Fruit Foam .—Peach foam: Pare end
cut up half a dozen peaches, strain
through a sieve and mix the pulp with
powdered sugar, enough to sweeten. Beat
the whites of three eggs to a 6liff froth
and add it to the peech pulp, and beat"
until thick, smooth and velvety. Pour
into a mold, which must be placed on
ice. Serve with sweetened, whipped, a
plain, thick, ‘‘double" cream, and petits
fours. Peach foam can be made of can
ned peaches.
A Peach Pudding.—A delicious peach
pudding is made In this way; Fill a pud
ding dish with whole, peeled peaches, #nd
pour over them two cups of water. Cover
closely and bake until the peaches are
tender; then drain off the juice from the
peaches and let it stand till cool. Add to
the juice one pint sweet milk, four well
beaten eggs, n small cup of flour, which
has one teaspoonful of baking powder
mixed in It, one cup of sugar, one table
epoonful of melted butter end a little salt.
Beat well and then pour this mixture over
the peaches; bake until a rich brown, and
serve with cream.
Anotchr Pudding.—Anothei; way to make
a peach pudding Is to line the bototm of. a'
deep dish with thick slices of stale sponge
cake, soaked In sherry. Fill the dish with
sliced and peeled peaches, well sweetened.
Spread a meringue over the top and leave
It in the oven long enough to brown. Serve
very cold with cream.
Poach Fritters.—Cut the peeled fruit In
half, sprinkle with sugar moistened with
maraschliio. and roll them in powdered
macaroons before dipping them In the bat
ter. Fry to an amber color, roll In sugar,
and serve hot.
A Fine Sauce.-A peach sauce to use
with a plain pudldng—say a bread pudding
—is made by mashing to a pulp very ripe
peaches which have been pared and cut In
pieces, Add sugar to sweeten and a table
spoonful of melted butter. Stir well to
gether and put on the Are to cook. Serve
warm.
A Peach Pie.—For a peach pie line a pie
plate with good puff paste and fill with
peeled and halved peaches. Sprinkle the
fruit with sugar—about half a cup—and
sift over one tablespoonful of flour. Jf
the fruit is not juicy use less flour. Add a
few bits of butter and bake.
An Ice.—Frozen peaches make a good
summer dessert. Peel and slice a quantity
of peaches—about two quarts—cover with
one pound of sugar and let them stand for
two hours. Mash fine, add one quart of
cold water and freeze the same as ice
crearft.
Peach Cheese.—Peach cheese requires to
every pound or’ fruit three and three-quar
ter of a pound of sugar. Pare and slice the
peaches. Put the skins and pits in a
saucepan with a little water and boil slow
ly. Strain through a jelly bag. Put the
peaches in this juice, which should be al
most cold, and boil until the fruit is a
soft paste; stir and mash often while boil
ing; then add the sugar and boil slowly,
stirring constantly. If. at the end of
fifteen minutes, it is removed from the
fire, it is peach marmalade. If it is boil
ed longer, or until thick enough to cut
with a knife, it is cheese marmalade. This
can be used for sweet sandwiches or eaten
as a dessert, with cream.
For Brandi and Peaches—Make a syrup
of half a pound of sugar and half a tea
cup of water for each pond.cf fruit. Skim
carefully, as the scum rises in boiling;
then put in the whole, peeled peaches and
boil until tender, no longer. Put the
peaches in glass jars and pour over the
fruit the syrup, to which has been added
half a pint of white brandy to every
pound of peaches. After the peaches
have been taken from the syrup, boil it
a little linger to thicken it. Peaches care
fully brushed and not peeled are preferr
ed by some housekeepers for brandied
peaches. They require no spicks, but it
adds to the flavor to put in each jar of
fruit a few b’anched peach pits, or al
monds The syrup must be cold before
the brandy Is added.
Sweet Pickled Peaches—Peel and halve
the fruit. To four pounds of fruit allow
one pound of sugar and a pint of vinegar,
a tablespoonful of ground allspice, a tea
spoonful ground cinnamon, half a tea
spoonful of mace and half a nutmeg. Tie
the spices in a muslin bag and put it-in
the vinegar and sugar, w’hich must be
bollirg before the peaches are put in; and
let them simmer until half cooked. Turn
into a stone J3r. The following day heat
ihe l'quor to the boiling* point and turn
over the fruit. Continue this for five days.
On the fifth day put the peaches on with
the liquor and simmer until tender. Put
in glass jars and seal.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MUSICIANS.
Wherein Ides the Charm of the
Pinnn W hen Used Non-Prnfesslon
nlly.
New York, July 20.—The construction of
a musical piece, after all. Is a very sim
ple matter. I remember once meeting a
young girl who objected to some piano
compositions recommended to her because
It did not have "a regular bass," and
when questioned about what the meant
by that Thrase it came out that what
she called a "regular bass" were the
chords of the tonic (first note of the
scale,) the dominant (fifth note) and sub
dominant, (fourth note,) ln other words,
she meant an accompaniment, such as is
written for a waliz, or dance music gen
erally When It was polrtted out to the
young lady that It was possible to divide
these chords and turn tht* about into
differin' s) ap sand varieties, ihat thev
were the a phnbet of music and that dif
ferent words could be swelled by their
use, yet the fact remained that in simple
pieces, divided or together, her "regular
bass" was*always on hand, she only said:
"Why, how easy!” and Immediately plung
ed Into a minuet and gavotte, which had
before seemed Impossible to her.
Out of a hundred young piano players
it is safe to say that not more than two
know what they are doing. They drum
away and their parents swell with pride,
while the little fingers often talk non
sense. Send to New York, or Boston for
some pretty new music, Airs de Ballet,
minuets, gavottes, little studies, waltzes,
air gay.and nocturnes,spring songs.cradle
songs or character stueke usually supply
the poe'ic and sentimental. Read the right
hand carefully, sentence by sentence,
with your brain as well as your fingers,
and you will make discovery of how the
composer did h s work; you will be intro
duced to a musician for the first time.
Ho usually takes four bars to make his
first remark. Sometimes he likes what he
says so much that he repeats it at once;
then fte answers his own remark by an
other sentence, and that part of the con
versation ends; then the first stanzas of
the poem is said. This is musical analysis
in an tshc’l.for sometimes the first stan
za of the poem is rep°ated before the sub
ject is changed, and sometimes there is
no charge of subject, and the writer goes
on saving the same thing over and over,
only in a different tone of voice.
Now. the important idea in the com
poser’s head having been announced in
the very beginning, all the player who Is
reading the piece for the first time has to
do is to go on and see how well he tells
his story.
I know an excellent pianist who has not
much time for practice, but who always
manager to keep a large repertoire of new
pieces on hand by first playing the new
music over a few' times until it goes
without apparent fault, and then playing
these novelties every time she Is asked
to play until she Is ready to take up
a new' batch. Her audience does not care
at all that the pieces are not played
quickly or brilliantly as long as they ore
pleasing, and especially when they be
come better with every repetition. She
plays things they do not know; she plays
them interestingly, and above all.
smoothly—she is entertaining her audi
ence and learning herself. Among the.
German composers of to-day Sehuett, who
is a Vienna teacher; Ludwig Schytte, a
Dane; Von Wilm, a German, and Chaul
made, a Frenchman, have written nu
merous things which are both pretty,
easy and brilliant. We have a host of
good composers right here in America, of
which Arthur Foote. Nevins, Hadley,
Rogers, and above all. McDowell, al
though his pieces are mostly too difficult
for the average parlor player. There is
no lack of simple music which is not
in the least hackneyed, and it is neither
necessary for every one in the same vil
lage to play the same light opera than it
is for every singer in a large city to
play the same coon song. Good music is
in plenty these days, and it has the Im
mense advantage, over trash of being not
only Individual in its speech, but of be
ing able to be heard many times without
exhausting the patience of the listener.
Here is a partial list of new and inter
esting compositions for the piano: “The
Flatteror,” (Flatterer) in Spanish style,
and "The Scarf Dance” are both by
Chauimade, and quite easy to play with
good effect. A “Gavotte Humoresque,” by
Sehuett, is brilliant, not hard at all, so is
Chauimade’s "Arabesque.” Other pieces
worth playing and not requiring much
technique are; Mazurka in Bb., Op. 8,
No. 2, Von Wilm; Petite Valze ln Ab,
Op. 62, No. 11; Gurlitt; Serenade, Gurlitt;

and their demands by no means unreason’

a hundred private dwellings, and murder

Similar scenes were repeated elsewhere
At Birmingham, in one short summer

The self-styled "Skeleton Army" was
nn organization whose pet aversion was
the Salvation Army. In 1881 these reli
gious (or perhaps it would be more cor
rect to say anti-religious) Boxers created
great disturbances at Gravesend, Worth
ing, Brighton and elsewhere, and later
on Eastbourne was the scene of even
more violent rioting In which many Sal
vationists were badly hurt. At Tredegar,
in Monmouthshire, however, the men of
blood and fire turned the tables on their
assailants, w’ho were mostly Irish labor
ers. < For three whole days and nights
the Boxers (Skeletons) held their own. but
eventually the pertinacity of the other
side overcame (heir resistance, the quar
ter of the town in whifh the aggressors
lived was sacked, and they themselves
were driven ignominiously forth into the
open country. A few days later six hun
dred of them had to be transported back
to Ireland at the expense of the govern
ment.

ing to London Truth) issued a ukase posi
tively prohibiting baccarat, which is no
longer to be played within his dominions,

been for many years the favorite game at

ment for a first offense is a heavy fine,
while the second will render the culprit li
able to a prolonged term of imprisonment.
