For and About Woman.
WOMENT's DRESS.
A. stout wowau has recently been
complaining that the fashiou news
-
mere and magazines print no plates
that give fleshy women any eatiefat-
tion. She avers that none brit
women of elender, grateful figures
can study these plates to any adat
age, and declares that a foreigner
who caw these periodicals would
suppose that all women in America
were of willowy proportions. • And
yet the nionber of such is huiti by
modistes and dealers in the wearing
apparel of women to be astnall minor-
ity. American women, especially
those who have the means to .dress
in accordance with fashion's tlecreea,
are inclined to decided plumpness,
and the regret of such when they exa
mine the elaborate plates, displaying
handsome garnsents on supple-fortn-
ed women, may be ieingined. But
the makers of these inagaiinesniIe
when these complaints aro brought
to their ears and declare that to
print realist ie plates for stout women
would cause others to sutile, too.
GIRLS NO LONGER TIIE rAsnioN.
2'.ociety is not all joy to the debut
ante nowadays. The married belles
carry off the' honors. That is why
so many of the young girls of Phila•
delpbia and New York go abroad
and stay till they are old enough to
win some attention here, says the
Philadelphia Press. There isn't one
of them who stands the ghost of a
chance against the perfectly dressed,
well poised brides of two or three
winters. An 18•year-old is nowhere
when they are about, There might
as well be no balls or assemblies, for
that matter, so far as the younger
fry are concerned, and as for the
private entertainments, it' a much
the same thing there.
The "buds" take what partners
are left whcn the young married
women have had their choice. Girls
are not the fashion any more. The
married belles dance just as well,
dress more richly and talk better, it
doesn't compromise well-dressed
young men from the bachelor depart -
meet which he is in no haste to des
sert for benedicts' quarters to dance
attendance upou them,and take it all
isall,now is the married belles' reign.
The popular unmarried women
who can hold their own in the 'halls
rooms are of more than one season's
standing. The debutantes are eager-
ly heralded, the society world is ans
xious to see them, families ,clamor
forthe privilege of chaperoning them,
but after all they are likely to eujoy
their second and third season better,
and to get more desirable partners
than in their first.
Runs VS. CARPETS.
Before another tweey. years shall
have passed away, says a New York
contemporary, we venture to predict
that there will scarcely- he a room in
the .city which will be covered from
end to end and side to side with
thick impenetrable earpet. Apo t
from all fashion and all theory, it
will be recognized as a fact that.
health demands moNailde floor cov•
erings which can be cleansed daily.
Rugs are certainly free front. many
or the most Serious objections to Car.
pets, even whoa they are fixed upon
the floor, Which in our estimation
they never ought to be. It is pos-
eible to weal' we,ll around them, to
itatioSe the (lust from the corners of.
the room, and even under the rug
itself. But such a condition of,,af-
fairs is still far from satisfactory.
There is always more or less dirt
about a stationary carpet, in any
roo•ur that is much lived in, and the
best housemaids ill the world cannot
rid an immovable rug of dust as
readily on the floor as they could off
it. Carpets ought, as a matter of
health, to be taken up 01100 a week,
laid over a line and thoroughly
leaten, but wha.re is the household
. where this rule is enforced ? The
• 'growing -Conviction of the auperior•
ity of ruffs to carpets is shown in the
newest houses, in many of which
the floors are expreasly arranged
with stained borders, a parquet floor-
ing, it is possible to leave en.
tirety uncovered. What a boon this
is to persons of stuull nu,,trus 1 Noth•
ing eats into a small sem of money
for houseturnishing more diaastrouss
ly then a .carpet. It in useless to
buy a cheap one ; cheap carpets are
never of any use, and the criee of a'
good one is a formidable considera-
tiom This is another argument in
favor of Ellgri —cheap rugs wear a
great deal better that cheap carpets,
for the obvious reason that they are
not. pulled and strainad in every
direction, and are only subjected to
legitimate wear and tear.
CouRTEsv TO LADIES.
Marion Harland, writing in the
Congregationalist, says, "Familiarity
of speech leads as naturally to free -
dam of touch as brooks to rivers,
or neglect of small sweet courtesies
to overt boorialmess. I do not, ex-
aggerate in asserting that the feinita
ine portion of young America that
affects picnics, singing schools, straw
rides, church sociables and snrpaise
parties needs as much to he ticketed
"bands off as the valuables in an
,art exhibition. When the finger

kinsman is pressed upon my should-
er to poiut a story or attract atten-
tion : when a.,forward youth fillips

evening party with "1 say !' I may
be and am offended, but in a quiet,
matronly way. When I see a thought-
less school girl bit hand in hand on
o steamboat or car with a man whom
I know to be a mere acquaintance,
or the opera cloak pressed long and
closely about the pretty youug thing
whom her escort wraps up officiously
before leading her to her carriage ;
when girls are hauled and pushed
and buffets(' in romping games and
dances that are nothing better,,as
the herd might jostle one another,
my blood heats with „more indign-
ant fire. No true man will need,
lessly, much less wantonly, put a
woman upou the defensive. The
best that can be said of him who
clapps tliflady guest on the back
as he might her husband, or the
coxcomb who, without her permis-
sloe, dares to omit the "Miss' in au'
cosfin; his lady frietel, is that he
"knows no better."

An Arab's Courtship,
•
The Arab levee as none but an
Arab can love ; but he is also
mighty excitable and easily won.
An Arab sees a girl bearing water
or brushwood ; and, in a moment,
almost at a glance, is as madly in
love as if he hail passed years of
courtship. fie thinks of nothing
else, cares awl dreatns of nothing
else but the girl he loves ; and not
iufrequently,,if he is disappointed in
his affections; be pintssatel diem. Ie
order$o continence his suits -ft seeds
for a member of the girItt tribe who
has access to the harem ; and, first
ensuring his secrecy by a snivel,'
oath, confesses his love, and P11
his confidant to arrange an Intel'•
view, The eonfidant goes to the
girl ; gives her a flower or a blade
of grass, and says, 'Swear by Him
who made this flower and US AISC,
that you will not reveal to anyone
thet which 1 ant about to unfold to
you.' If the girl will not accept
Ll, e proposal she will not take the
oath ; but nevertheless, keeps the
iffarFiTealISecret from all. If
she is favorably disposed to the
mstch, she answers, 1 swear by
Him who made the flower you hold,
and us ;' and the nice and time of
meeting are settled. 'rhea', oatl.s
are never broken, and it is not long
before 'the lover becomes the !nippy
husband.
A Surprised Lawyer.
--r —
Judge Nehrlts•of the city court,
New York city, treated lawyer
Nathan S. Levy to a disagreeable
surprise Monday. Mr. Levy was
making a plaintive argument to the
jury on behalf of Mrs, Francesco
Moritz, an interesting client, who
clai Med that she lied been slandered
by two of her fellow employees itt
Stratford J Storm's cigar factory—
Angus and Theodore Facile. The
New Yolk Times thus tells the
story :—
A II at 'once in a burst of rhetori-
oat effulgeuce Mr. Levy exclaimed :
"It isn't money my clinent wants.
It is the vindiestion of her charac•
ter, more precious to her than dia.
motels or rubies. As far as money
issoncerned, she is ,willing to act
cept six cants damages—"
"If that is NO you need proceed no
further, Mr. Levy, remarked Judge
-IsTehrbas;" I will direct the jury to
bring in a verdict for six cents dant.
ages. We will devote no more
time to the case."
Mr, Levy vas dumfounded at this
too liberal interpretation by the
court of his statement. He' gasped
for breath, turned pale and subsided
ince a Alain Before he could re-
cover the verdict of six cents had
been hindered ami the next case
called for trash Mr. Levy passel
the next hour in vainly endeavoring
to make his enraged client • under-
stand that Judge Nehrbas' ruling
was a joke, which would be recti.

•'rbe Maid and trig gighwayman
It 'was a giddy, gushing girl from
Nev York, with an awplitude of
bang and a scarceness of vocabulaii,
which showed at once her romantic
tenderness. She was travelling in a
stage coach in true of the sparsely
settled regions of the country.
"011 1" she said to her mother, "I
do wouder whether we are going to
make this whole trip without even
the sigu of an adventure ? Would-
n't it be horrid ?"
Her mother informed her that she
didn't have much common sense,
butthe_girl-didn't seemed to mind
it in the least. In the course of the
next hour, however the coach stop-
ed suddenly and ale muzzle of a
pistol was shoved through the door.
"Sorry to trouble you, ladies,"
said the man whose head followed
the pistol, "but if you've got any
valibles, them's what we want, an'
we're a little pressed fur time."
"Oh, mamma, at last we have
found a real highwayman," said the
girl with a delighted shriek. •
"You're a real live robber, aren't
you?"
"Well, I reckon that's what Pm.
called."
"And yon tell people to hold up
their hands, awl say, "your money
or your life to them, don't you 1"
"I hey doue so, Miss. But I aiu't

"How lovely ! Just come right
in and sit here beside me."
"Ye see, Mies, I'm here on busi-
ness, an' I'll truuble you---"
"No you won't trouble us at all.
Just come in, we wou't hurt you. I

The highwayman had dropped his
pistol, and was beginning to look
apprehensive.
"Do you have la) go away and rub
somebody ?" she inspired natively.

A Presbyterian Examination of
a Witness
When the late Dr. Guthrie of
Edinburgh was minister of Arbir-
lot, in the presbytery of Arbroath,
one of his co -presbyters was charged
with the crime of drunkenness,, and
was dealt with accordingly. When
investigating the case many wituess-
es were called and exii.iniued by the
presbytery; but most of thein, look-
ing more with pity on the misery
to which deposition would 'reduce
the minister's wife and family than
to the interests of religion and the
Church in such a case, were found
unwilling to say anything that
Wight condenin him, or lead to such
a result. Their answer was this: --
"We'll no' say, far less swear, he
was drunk ; he might have been
sick, or something o' that kind—
wha kens'?" •
The presbytery seeing'. this, fell
on another way of getting atthe truth.
This was by asking them, not,
Whether he was drunk, but whether,
without saying for a filet that ha
was so, it was their impression at
the time that he was. Following
this plan, whoa it was, brought out
that on a particular Sunday even ino,
the minister had lolled' over tle'et
side of the pulpit—being in fact
unable to stand upright—and said
that he loved his people so mach
that he would carry them all to
heaven- ou his back, Mr. Guthrie
asked the witness, a strong partisan
of the offending party—
"Now, John, when you heard
him say so, what impression did so
strange a speech make on you 1"
"Weel," he replied, ",lfaister
Guthrie, Pll juist tell ye what 1
thocht. There Was a great fat wife,
ye see, sitting in. the -seat before
1110 ; and thinks I, iny lad, if you
set off tas-the kingdom o' Heaven
wi' that wife on your back, my
certie, ye'll no' be back for the rest
o' its ill felonry !"
The presbytery by this i•eply,
were convulsed with laughter, and
none laughed more hearty 111511 11)0

picture presented to John's mind of
,,the reverend gentlenunion his way
