FOR FEMININE ' READERS.
A Pleasaat Euipioyment for Young:
Ladies
There are in Chicago perhaps forty or
' fifty working girls -who" are inclined to
congratulate themselves on their compar
atively easy lot. They are employed in
the different sewing machine companies
represented here to teach purchasers of
machines the uses and care of them. In
the office of one of the largest "Western
agencies yesterday morning six of these
girls were preparing for their day's work.
Each one was presented by the forewoman
with the list of the houses where she was
to call during the day to give a lesson,
and each one of them carried out with
her a little satchel rilled "with fancy work
' of various kinds to be employed in illus
trating the different uses to which the
machine could be put. "When the girls
had all departed the forewoman had a
few moments leisure and kindly explained
to an early and curious yisitor something
of the details of their duties.
"It is much nicer employment," she
began, ''than anything to be found in
stores or factories, and is better paid.
And then you are your own boss. The
girls get their orders here and start out
at 9 o'clock in the morning. That's the
last we see of them until the next morn
ing, for when they have covered all their
assignments they are at liberty to go
home."
"Does the average purchase of a ma
chine require many lessons in order to
make good use of it?"
"Three are usually sufficient. Some
ladies are more slow to learn than others,
and there are so many attachments for
hemming, filling, tucking, embroidering
and so forth, that it is no small matter
to learn the use of them, and how to oil,
clean and keep the machine in good or
der. Then occasionly a customer gets
into some kind of trouble with her ma
chine, and we have to send a girl back
again to set things right. A girl meets
a good many hardships in the business,
such as being out in all kinds of weather
and traveling about from one part of the
city to another, but, on the whole, the
business is healthful and well paid."

Coquettish Mexican Women
A letter to the Newark (N", J.) Adver
tiser says: The favorite hour for strolling
about the streets here for the ladies, is
in the morning from about 9 till
12 o'clock. During those hours you
encounter throngs of ladies, both Mexi
can and foreigners, walking leisurely
along, staring in the shop windows,
occasionally entering to make their
purchases or to pull over the dress goods
and trimmings and drive the clerk9 dis
tracted in the good old American lady's
fashion, and then depart without buying
anything, just the same as in the cities
of the North.
The Mexican ladies love admiration,
like to be noticed, even stared at in the
streets and all public places by men.
You can see this to be the case from their
pleased manner when they are closely
observed by strangers, particularly by
foreigners. It is remarked upon by
every foreigner, no matter of what na
tionality, who comes here. Probably the
true reason for this is that Mexican hus
bands, with rare exceptions, are not
affectionate for a long period
after marriage; they soon grow
weary of their wives and
seek distraction and affection
elsewhere than at home. Furthermore
the position of the wife here i3 not so
favored, so honored a one as it is in the
United States. A shade of the ancient
Oriental idea that wives should be the
slaves, the servants of their husbands,
pervades Mexican homelife, and the wife
Is, in many respects, decidedly the in
ferior of her husband. This inferiority
is felt, not only in the lower grades of
society, but even among the highest
classes. Though unacknowledged, per
haps, in words, it is expressed in actions
and in the relations between husband
and wife. Uence it is not strange that
Mexican women should seek for admira
tion and symuathy from other men than
their own spouses. And, inasmuch as
many of tbem have heard or read of the
superior position held by women in
American society, and of the devotion of
the average American to his wife, and
the universal gallantry of the stronger
sex toward the (physically) weaker one
in the United States, it is not strange
that Mexican women of the higher classes
usually look with favor upon American
men if they are gentlemen. However,
American men are not apt to be strongly
fascinated by Mexican women, as even
the best of them are badly educated, poor
conversationists (talking'of nothing but
their "novios" beaux and dress) and few
of them are as beautiful as the average
American girl.
Fashion Notes.
Parasols made of successive rows of
lace are very popular.
It is no longer fashionable to draw the
gloves over the sleeves.
Fronts of bright-colored beads are
worn over black silk dresses.
Bonnets overlaid with red and gold
embroidery are much favored.
Ruchings and quillings are completely
out of style this year in Pans.
Velvet trimming is now rarely used
for trimming dresses intended for street
wear.
The favorite wrap this season is short
in the back, and long and paneled in
frjmt.
Foulard, on account of it3 clinging
propensities, is the favorite silk" in
Kussia.
The most popular stockings are those
with a design of large squares of differ?
ent colors.
Three, five or seven rows of ribbon vel
vet make the fashionable trimming for
dress skirts in Paris.
A stylish collar is made of black Span
ish lace, plaited and dotted with gold,
over stiff net. The edges are wired, and
and the very broad frill is ornamented
with tiny pearl beads.
Long, plain velvet coats are imported
for winter wear. They have borders of
fur, chenille or embroidery in jet done
on the garment iuelf. The more fluffy
the border the more fashionable.
The difference between a Tarn O'Shan
ter and a deer-stalker hat is that the
former is ornamented with a brooch and
feather or with rosettes, while a twisted
veil and a bow are worn with the latter.
Traveling dresses made of checked
tweed, with a kilted skirt, round drapery,
and a short, round bodice with a plaited
back, collar open at neck for tie, are all
the rage on the other side of the Atlan
tic. Armholes of dresses are seen this sea
son trimmed in a new manner. A piece
of medium sized velvet or ribbon goes en
tirely around, and the two ends which
meet on the shoder at the top are tied
in a gracelul looped bow.
A pretty use ot the somewhat over
worked white muslin hat trimming ap
peared the other day in its use upon a
brown hat bound with brown velvet.
It was twisted lightly about the crown
and fastened with a spray of scarlet
salvia.
High coiffures prevail in Paris. The
coil of hair on the top of the head is held
in place by gold or silver headed pins,
and the forehead is covered with little
round rings of hair termed statue curls,
which are decidedly stiff in effect and
unbecoming to most faces. - :
" Baby " is the name given to the lit
tle bonnets with full satin linings and
narrow satin striDgs now in favor in'
Paris. They are trimmed outside with'
a wreath of fine flowers with a tuft ris
ing high in front, and sometimes have a
spray of flowers resting on the hair.
Noted Men's Hat.
Have you observed, writes a "Washing-'
ton correspondent of the Boston Traveller
that as soon as a man springs into public
notice he at once seeks some distinctive,
article of head-gear? It is a little'diffi
cult to tell why this is, but it is never
theless a fact. President Arthur usually
wears a tall silk hat. It looks like a
President's hat. Whoever made it, it is
the only one of its kind in Washington.
In the first place it is a very tall hat,
with just the shadow of a curve near the
crown. The rim is broad and nearly
straight, and hangs out over his eyes. It
is a hat among hats, and one would ask
the name of its owner among a thousand.
Attorney-General Brewster's white silk
hats are almost historical. He has them
made in Philadelphia, and it is under
stood consumes several each season. It
is a matter of some curiosity why he
should want a new hat of this species.
Certainly it must be a great puzzle for
him to pick out his latest purchase from
among the large stock which he must
have on hand. His hats are made to
be brushed either or both ways, and
they usually are. They are built very
high, with a bulging crown and a rolling
br.m, something after the style of the
headgear worn in the pictures of the al
legorical "Uncle Sam." Mr. Blaine
sometimes wears a stylish silk hat, but
his lavorite is a black slouch, which he
draws down over his eyes until it nearly
touches his nose. Gen. Butler and
Senator Edmunds and Senator Hoar also
run to slouches, all apparently made on
pretty nearly the same model. Gen.
Logan wears a cavalry slouch hat about
half the time and a respectable silk hat
the remainder. Senator Ingalls' hat is
tall and angular, like himself. Secretary
Chandler usually wears a derby. Secre
tary Frelinghuysen wears a tall, thin silk
hat.. Secretary Lincoln's silk hat is usu
ally stylish and dressy, while Secretary
Teller's makes him look like an Episcopal
bishop. Postmaster-General Gresham
has developed a genuine fondness
for his old black slouch
hat, which he throws down
anywhere. Commissioner Loring; wears
the most dignified-looking silk nat in
"Washington. No one would ever think
of such a thing as rubbing that hat the
wrong way, and as Tor crushing it, the
idea would be preposterous. General
Rosencrans affects the military slouch
hat, while General Sheridan wears a
light derby of a fashionable make. Be
fore he was elected speaKer, Mr. Carlisle
always wore a slouch hat ; now he wears
a tall silk one with a harrow brim, which
looks as though it was three sizes too
small. Senator Mahone wears a light
brown slouch hat on the left side of "his
head, which gives him a dashing appear
ance. Judge Lawrence, the eccentric
first controller of the treasury depart
ment, wears a flat-crowned hat with a
wide brim. This is savagely pushed
down on his head, just as though he had
given an adverse decision of 10,000
words. It almost covers his ears, but
don't; that is, one can see the ears.
These are a very few of the immense
number of distinguished-looking hats
which may be seen in "Washington.
A Straw Watch.
The Bohemians speak enthusiastically
of the feat performed by a young pris
oner sentenced for five years to Karthaus.
It is a straw watch five centimeters in
diameter by two in thickness. The work
comprise a few bits of straw, some cot
ton, two needles and a pin, a small piece
of paper forming the dial. It is said to
go for six hours, and could be made to
go twelve with a few improvements. It
does not seem to occur to the convict's
admiring countrymen that he could have
turned his time to a better purpose than
the construction of a curious and useless
toy. Brooklyn Eagle.

THE ARM"- OF TYPES.
Oh, a glorious fame is the fame of the fray
For the banner of Stars and Stripes?
But the mightiest soldiers of all are they
Who march in the Army of Types!
How they come at the wave of the Captain' 8
hand,
How they gather with rattle and click,
And leap to the ranks at the silent command,
On the forming ground of the stick I
And whether it storm or whether it shine,
And ever by day and by night,
With a click, click, click, they fall into line,
And march away to the fight.
Each soldier moves on his squad of a word,
To the dram of the age in the van,
And armed with a two-edged invisible sword
That cuts through the spirit of man.
Where Ignorance sits on her shadowy
thrones,
Built round by the walls of old night,
They crumble and crush into powder the
stones,
And let in the legions of light.
Where Tyranny reigns with his foot and his
yoke
On the neck of the poor and the just,
They cease not to smite till the fetters are
broke,
And the tyrant is laid in the dust.
Oh, Army of Freedom! and Army of Light!
Oh, host of our God! battle onl
Till the people shall rule in their God given
right,
And the long night of error is gone!
Oh, a glorious fame is the fame of the fray
For the banner of Stars and Stripes,
But the mightiest soldiers of all are they
"Who march in the Army of Types!
