(Copyright, 1895, by D.iclieller, Johnson & Bncheller.) Sisters, the pallor in the East tells us that tho Herald -daily edition of the dawn is speeding up the slopes of the Oneut; a little while and the rosy fingered hours will paint the day red. Emancipation is on its way by Adam and Eve's express. Yea, it is even now here, with both feet. How do I know this? How does tho cautious prophet become dead certain of anything? By keeping his ej esopen, ta'kmg both papers, and waiting patiently until tho event has prophesied itself. That's how. A day or two sinco I was trying to bring order out or the eternal chaos -which ever rules in tho jungle which I call my den, de bating within myself whether to go on with tho regular order or go out and set fire to tho house, the shorter and sometimes more profitable, and certainly under any circumstances, least expensive method of cleaning house A hasty but hurried in vestigation reealed the depressing fact that my fire insurance had lapsed some twain years erst I sighed and went on with the task of restoring i semblance or ordei in side The women folk sighed twice to my once, so I was also outsighed Singed copies or this will be sent on application.

Tho lady had a mouth not quite irom her head until it gradually tapered into a pair of shoulders which sloped down ward until they lost themselves in what was lftft of the body after the neck and shoul ders had been formed. From a waist not so largo in circumference as the thinnest partof the neck, swelled a vast, wide-circling skirt Lgs, or semblance or suggestion of legs the lady had none. Barely visible at tho front of the skirt a wee, tiny poiut like the vertex of a triangle peeped timidly out into sight and faintlj suggested that the rst of a foot was concealed somewhere be hind it. There is never anj suggestion of more than one foot I looked at the picture, and naturally thought or Sir John Suck ling's "Ballad Upon a Wedding " "IIt feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice stole in and out, As if they feared the light." Although I want you distinctly to under stand that nothing so coarse or vulgar as a petticoat vent with that sort of a fashion plate No, Mr-ec, ma'am We didn't wear such tilings in those modest dajs Not a mother's son of ua. Well, lifting mine eyes from that fash ion plate of long ago .and looking nut of my window upon "Anno Domini 1895" wheeling and galloping, and striding, and driving, and talljhoing past, the prophetic vision came upon me. I heard the deep, ro tund chest torn of woman none of your weak, piping, masculine falsetto calling out of to-day into the depths of to-morrow that woman is free free i;er-ree' Eman cipated all the way Ay, from the ground up That is wiiere she hab begun At the ground With her understanding It is the epoch of legs The ballet girl may put on her longest dress with the most sweeping train. She is no good She is in evidence and very expensively an hour or two every evening in tho season, maybe. But the end of the century woman cavorts all day long, and it doesn't cost a cent to see her lake her pedals out for an airing. "Her feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice stole in and out" Oh, they did, did they? Well, back in the bleak, desolate days, when she was the sul-lave of the tyrant man, maybe they did. But they don't steal out now Steal in and out. hey"' They come charging out like a pair of reciprocal cuirassiers, clad in good stout leather, with soles as thick as a Philadelphia pie. and they leave a track in the dust like a snowshoe. "As if they feared the light" Fear nothing! The Old, Familiar, Colored Fashion Plnte. Light?

The novel tells of love affairs of the hero, Hugh Blair, and goes into details of adventures, and con tains passionate utterances. Mrs. Stewart claims that the book is really an autobiography of the defendant, the various characters discussed being given fictitious names.

There Js a crisis in dress. The late style haH exhausted itself and need is to start fresh on a new. Which is not as easy as sajing Jack Robinson, or na making a novel garmeut out of an accidental mis cut, though the majority of folks may go think. Tor much is to be considered. There must be, for one thing, an understanding between tne dressmakers and the manu facturers, so that harmony bhnll exist between the material and the form. Much also is to bo sensitleiy felt; for if a stjle is to run tho legitimate cycle of a style, which is to say a course of two or three years, it must reflect social conditions. VnnoiiB things havo beeu tried and aban doned. The moment is difficult. rashion all spring has been turning over and over the modes or the past hundred ears or so, te see if among them arc any that may serve as a point of new depart ure. A number have been set up to try what the public would have to say to than; models of the Louis XVI.. and of the 1830 10 period mainly. A ud tlma far these tent ative models have beeu the only novelties of the season. REJUVENATING OLD STYLES. Among the principal revivals have been fichus, turbans, long bhoulder seams called 1830, and flowered material. The licliu came rrom the wardrobe or .Marie Antoinette, wlucli wardrobe, of the Trianon period, was early in March laid before Parisians in a play at the Porte b,t Martin, exquisitely rtconstituted by Dou cet. Everybody said of these costumes Behold the new stjles1 It is Doucet that has lanced the mode' But -it was not ho. The movement Louis XVI dwindled down July Promenade Toilets. to the fichu, and this soon merged into a variation of the little shoulder capes famil iar for two years past Clearly It Is not a reminder of Marie Antoinette that the public wants. The long shoulder persists, particularly In evening dress, but it al ways suggests 1830, and has not yet reached the stage of annihilation. Its sole significance appears to be a reaction from shoulders that have been too high. The turban idea, of more interest, is developed in certain hat trimmings, where the band is drawn tight under an overhanging crown, and tied at one side with au un pretending bow and a reather thrust into the knot, like that worn by Marie Antoi nette in a familiar portrait by Lebrun. Also in an evening coiffure, with chiffon tied in a rosette on one side of the head and a scarr passing theno across the top to end In another knot n the other side, a mass of curls being pushed forward or the rosettes over each ear in a way suggest ing a portrait or Lebrun herseir As to the riowered fabrics-, they possibly give more sign of pennant ncc than the rest, though it would be rash to predict a con quest for what has been tried so many times and has hitherto failed. THE MANLTCTURERS DIFFICULTIES. " Often enough in the last hundred years the manulacturers have pressed figured stuffs upon the public but never with any permanent success The fault has not been with the dressmakers, nor conscientiously with the public. Western taste has not been able to assimilate them. In England there is to be noticed an ef fort to put flowered silks upon the fashion by artificial forcing, but the movement will como to naught for the simple reason that they cannot be worn. The only oppor tumty for them is in the court trains, and court trains are not worn every day. The ordinary dress of English women is more severely given over to form and style at the expense or decoration than that of Paris, and a tailor gown made of brocado would bo nothing short or an infamy. Evi dently the unpopulantv or flowered fabrics is not understood or else the recent appeal to Englishwomen would not hav e been made to help on the industry bv wearing flowered vests. Tho form ot men's dress is even more antagonistic to decorated, stuffs than is that or the women It Is about ab near ly an outer skin as it is possible for dress to be. Men look no more pretty than women do with a tattoo spread over the abdomen, and even the high patronage of the Prince of Wales, which has been solicited, can not make such an idea acceptable to fash ion. If it is tried one of two things will happen; either It will be dropped as soon as tho novelty censes to amuse or else it will modify the form of men's dress, developing the vest into a long bklrted waistcoat such as was fashionablo when men did formerly wear brocades. Which it is likely to be there s no need to ask. The form of garmont, that suits decorated Afternoon Seashore Gowns. fabrics is loose and flowing. It ia suf ficiently unconstrained by fitting not to suggest a cuticle and to allow the qualities of tho texture to be displayed for them selves. Thus the decoration will seem to en rich tho fabric and not tho person. Such garments as those the orient has shown us, and the aesthetic idea in them is at the op- posito pole from that arrived at by western dress. EASE AND COMFORT IN DRESS. Still there is a growing taste from Paris Just now for the comparatively loose and flowing. Bloubes, full sleeves and large bkirts nro the fashion. The latest skirt rays out liko a whirling dervish. There fore, flowered fabrics have at this moment moro than usual hope of success. Is there thon a struggle on between the western Ideal of form and the eastern ideal of deco- jgmmL Morning: Costume. ration? I know nothing about it; those that live will see, but I may venture an observation. The field from which fashion draws its inspiration Is Immensely larger than it was Once Paris fashion catered to n small num ber in a limited area, and the mass of the world wore a costume that has never changed; once a social incident that con cerned France alone could color the mode; but now fashion labors for the round globe and all womankind upon it, and to a cli eiilelle that looks upon France not as the center of the world, but as a province of it merely, on whom local occurrences In Prance have correspondingly diminished influence Neither Marie Antoinette nor Louis PhiUIpe reminiscences interest greatly this larger cllentelle, which asks rather what is it that is interesting the world? At any rate, this much is clear. Paris has seen this spring both these epochs many times brought to light and poked back again, and only those remaining oni that reflect the Orient Flowered fabrics, turbans and dervish skirts are of the East, the East that to day Is in all men's minds They speak of Egypt, of Chitral expedition, of Slatm Bev, escapes from the Soudan, of Japan ese victories, of geographical parcelhug3 out of Asia to the West THE LATEST FANCIES. At last the gigot sleeves are in a fair way of disappearing Poor old leg-o'-mutton, it has hung on well; it had its virtues, too; it was susceptible of a great variety of effects; one could distinguish in a fash ionable assembly the Worth gigot, severe and simple, and Uke an old Venetian sleeve; the Morln-Blossier gigot, which bubbled over doliciously at top, and was 1830 Dress. gracefully slender below; the Rouff gigot, which broke out into wonderful butter flies or bows: the Febx sleeve, etc One, at least, of the now sleeves that would supplant it has not this versatility. When everybody has got n bishop sleeve, every body will have got one, and all will be said, and done Or, so it seems, for it is all of a width to the wrist, and is there confined into a band. However, there is no knowing what the dressmakers may do when it comes to the pinch, for their resources arc inscrutable. ANOTHER SLEEVD NOVELTY. Another new sleeve, with more seeming possibilities in the way of design, is that which has been transformed out of the doubled ruffle. It is enormously wide, and is particularly beautiful when accordion plaited The blouse should be plaited, too, and as the edge of the blouse falls m a balloon, and drops to the elbow like a line with the edge of the sleeve, the effoct is somewhat that of a cape In a delight ful gown for Trouville is seen this idea in modification. The skirt is of alpaca, pale mauve, the blouse of mauve mousselinc de sole, accordeon plaited, and falling over the belt all round, and the sleeve is an ac cordeon plaiting of the moussehne, that falls to the elbow and is confined round the armhole wiih a huge puff of deep vio let satin, wide over the arm and growing narrower underneath, sling shape. The upper edge of this puff is set in the arm seam, violet belt. Tho neck has pearl embroidercd mauve passementerie set in and shaped in a sort of gusset form, with a point in back and front, building it up to the ears, and over this turns a muslin needle worked Valois collar, with very orig inal effect. Close caps are at the topsof manysleeves. which throws the fullness down low on the arm in 1830 style, and as it gets more and more the fashion to cut shoulder seams very long, these caps furnish a good way to lengthen down a shoulder made too high. NECK DECORATIONS. That opera bouffe neck garniture that consists of a maglo bunch under each ear has died tbe death from excess. When uch gearing come to be hung like sausage in tho shops At a few sous apiece its day is done. Elegance has supplanted it with the VaIol, that is to say, with a turn-over collar. Cuffs may bo worn or not, but the collar is obligatory; it is tho latest chic Tho burning and difficult question, of Don't Be Too Late!
