Smart Ilnlr Dressing. The hairdresser seems to believe that the pompadour is tottering to its fall.

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 cept this arrangement kindly are never theless quelling the proud rod up from the brow and placing the puffs and'bands just on the crown, as a base upon which to establish sometimes a charming aigrette, sometimes three white feathers.

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- Three New and Fashionable Methods of Combing the Hair. 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. “In Ihe old countries tile apprentice learns by toilsome process, and what he leame he learns thoroughly, but he has none of the young American's quick grasp I Concentrated STBffIGIHJ LIEBIG * COMPANY’S EXTRACTI 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. ANGLO-SAXON WOMEN IN PARIS. The Most Snccensfnl Tea Tlooom in the French Capital 1* Under the Management of Two English Girls, and It Is There Americans Love to Congregate. After the bewilderment of a few hours in the delightful shops of Paris visitors this summer have found it most refresh ing to visit someone of |he innumerable tea rooms scattered about the city. One of the prettiest and most successful of these wayside rests has lately been open- Finding the Pretty English Tea Room on the Map of Faria, ed by two British girls. These young women, who are daughters of an English clergyman, have filled a great want by means of their enterprise in supplying for Anglo-Saxons the only tea room where English is spoken on the left side of the Seine. The repose of its cosy, artistic interior, and the sound of ones mother tongue while sipping a cup of delicious tea, is a delight and solace In the midst of a day s shopping. Not only tea, but enough for a light luncheon can be or dered, so that a morning is easily planned for shopping at one of Jhe great depart ment stores and refreshments at noon at fhls little tea room. The proprietors are always ready to give any possible infor mation to their customers, and even keep a list of desirable pensions ln the neigh borhood, which they recommend. This little touch of friendliness and suggestion of home Ls most welcome to English speaking strangers who find themselves In the vicinity of the shop on the Rue St. Flaclde. Its name, “Au Tea Cosy," quite unique to these parts, Is plainly printed on the window. 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; Six Tone Pictures, Henry K. Hadley; Four Character Sketches, L. E. Orth; Climbing the Stairway of a Queer French Ship. Gavotte, Minuet, Saltarelle, James H. Rogers; Badinage,' In Springtime, Charles Fonteyn Manney; Berceuse, F.

There are plenty of people now Uv'n. wno can remember all too vividly how th : "Luddites” terrorized Derbyshire La„ cashire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire ant other countries. For the space of tw. whole years, in the affected areas nc man's life was safe from the vengeance el "King Ludd” and his henchmen, and It was only after sixty-four of them had been executed in one gigantic batch that the horrors came to an end. Thirty years W occurred the carious "Rebecca' riots mostly In Wales, the special object of th: rioters being the destruction of all turn pikes throughout the principality. The "Chartists” are typical Boxere Their intentions at the outset were good and their demands by no means unreason’ able. Yet whenever they managed to the upper hand frightful scenes were In variably enacted. At Bristol they broke open the prisons, set fire to the Mansion House, the Bishop's palace, and more than a hundred private dwellings, and murder ed and pfllaged to their hearts' content Similar scenes were repeated elsewhere At Birmingham, in one short summer night (July 15, 1839), well-nigh incalculable damage was done. Belfast has had Its own special Boxers and anti-Boxers almost from time i m . memorial. They are known locally as Or angemen and Catholics, and always at the slightest provocation, often at none at all, they fly at one another's throats burn one another's houses, and act geiu erally after the most approved Boxer fashion the world over. Their last great outbreak was in 1888. whep eleven of the combatants lost their lives and over 'M were wounded. Prior to that, however, several other similar scenes were enacted, and always with like results. In 1864, the “fun" was started by the unveiling in Dublin of the O'Connell monument, nine people were killed outright and one hundred and fifty were injured; and in 1872 property co the value of £120,000 was w'antonly ” de stroyed. It is doubtful whether the Chi nese Boxers have done very much worse than this at Tien Tsin. 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.
