EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
About the fashions for September.
Isn’t it quite too ridiculous to ”see
how our women folk are dressing:
First you meet a fat girligwearing a
heavy coat and skirt, a fgrfgcollarette
and a felt hat. Behind'fher walks a
thin damsel in a White, duck skirt, a
muslin shirt waist and a‘ hat trimmed
with mull and ponies. "f '
Then some of them itaffiect combina-
tions. One woman will put on a heavy
feather boa and a cloth coat with a
muslin frock, another will wear an or-
gandie and a golf cape.
One perfectly dressed woman seen
yesterday had on a fine serge skirt,
perfectly hung and lined with silk.
, _, Her shirt waist was of checked silk,
not the wash variety, and with it she
hadaneat collar and string tie, the
latter black. Her hat was a black A1-
:_ pine, trimmed with a few quills, her
_. shoes were also black, and her gloves
: white.
She looked cool and happy, also
well protected from the September
winds. She didn’t affect one like a
-' traveling remnant of summer, nor like
an advertisement of the coming winter.
I think, anyway, that it’s an abomin-
able fashion, this one of considering
that there are only two seasons to thel
year, when there are really four.
Folks say, ‘I’ll have this in summer,’
and ‘this in winter;’ occasionally they
mention a spring suit or a fall hat, but
not very often.
Then on cold days in the fall they
come around in faded ginghams and
flimsy ~muslins, all bedraggled, and. de-
plore the fact that it’s too early for furs
and beaver coats. As for the woman
with‘a sealskin, we all know her.
She is so everlastingly proud of that
garment that she wears it until May.
In the autumn it comes out at the first
hint of frost, and she swelters in it a
good two months before the coming
of Thanksgiving.
Lots of folks, for instance, never con-
sider it necessary to have any between
seasons clothing. You meet them on
a hot day in April wearing their
winter frocks and. coats, with heavy
felt hats that must give them inflam-
mation of the brain. Suddenly, if
May is warm, they jump right. into
muslins and cotton shirt waists. No
wonder they catch cold. I should
think they’d all die straight off with
pneumonia. .
“I pity most, however, the poor little
children. They have to wear what
their mothers order, regardless of
their wishes. I’ve known Mrs. Smith’s
Mary to be wearing winter underwear
in June because the family finances
hadn’t allowed of purchasing her any-
thing more seasonable—though, of
course, the finances made a new bonnet
for Mrs. Smith quite easily obtained.
And that same child will shiver until
October in thin gauze and summer
frocks.” ' ‘
The spending money of every woman
should be divided into four rather than
two parts. A spring coat and a fall
cape will save the winter garments, a
spring hat may be made to do utility
duty part of the summer, and the
autumn frock will do nicely for house
wear in the winter, saving the heavier
winter street suit.

SECRETARY SEWA'RD "‘5 DISGUISE.‘
He Went to Court in the Hotel Porter’s
. Kneeybreechel, Stockings and Shoes.
In the North American Review, Sir
William Russell, LL.D., narrates an
anecdote in which Secretary Seward
bad part: . , '-
Mr. Seward, who had been received
with great respect in Russia, came to
England, and, naturally, desired to go
to court. He was to be presented at
the levee by the United States Minis-
ter as a Senator of the United States.
He drove oi! at the appointed time
to the palace. but was stopped in the
corridor by a gentleman in uniform,
who said he could not pass because
he was not “properly dressed.”
Mr. Seward Was in full evening
dress, black dress coat, waistcoat and
trousers and white crava‘t, but it
would not do. The gentleman ex-
plained that he must have knee-
breeches, shoes and stockings-that
was absolutely necessary. An idea
struck Mr. Seward. There was a. nice
old man, about his size, the porter
of the hotel he was staying at, who
sat in a box in the hall, and 011 he
drove.
Immense success! The porter had a
beautiful new pair of knee-breeches
and black silk stockings and low
shoes. A few dollars for the loan was
all that was needed. ~~ Mr. Seward was
speedily equipped, drove back to the
palace, where he was admitted and
finally had the pleasure of making his
bow in the hotel porter’s clothes to her
Majesty.
Now, all that is changed, and Amer-
ican citizens attend European courts
in plain evening dress. ’
