" Children and young girls are never o pleasing as when simply drccl." ' a "Certainly; and our taste u corrupted when we do not see this. But thtre'i poor Mrs. f. thmks it absoluttlj neeesury - to fol low the last fashion-plate ; so shworks like a slave from morning tHlijrht -' and lur sewing-machine is often going till after mid night. Ko wonder Ehe looks broken down, and has neuralgia and a diseased spine. She has donclhe work of two women, and it is the hardest kind of work, too. Erery Inch uf those interminable yards of hemming and bindjng, gathering and fastening, passes through her fingers, to say nothing of th contriving and fitting, and basting and rip ping. J wonder the woman is alive. I don't believe there is a woman in the tity harder worked." : - - " But why don't the daughters help her?" "Those in pchool haven't any tirno. Grade does all she can ; but with her calls and callers, practising and pic-nicing, croquetting and o quettlng,- it would be cruel to expect her to do more than make the plainest portion of her under-clothefi." " But it's absurd," Isaid, "for a mechanics wife to go into such extra vagan se. " ; ' I don't know as a mechanic's wife can be expected to be more sensible than any other woman," "said Hester dryly. "A re form must begin somewhere else I fancy." "I suppose so,-' I said with a sigh; but the whole subject is full of difficulties." "All of which might be overcome if women had a spark of independence. Here is a tan gible evil for them to grapple with, now that they have waked up to a sense of their strength and capabilities." "Yes ; they may as well begin a reform here, as of thoi nation at the ballot-box " I said, laughing; "But how to do it is' the question. Is there any standard by which dress can be judged and regulated." "Not now," said Hester : "but T in.r, rthe principles of art, true art, might be ap plied to drees as to other things : that thorn is an essential, intrinsic beauty or ugliness in our garments, entirely irrespective of fashion; in other wordsr that it is one thing to be well dressed, and another to be fashionably dressed." ' 3 "Yes," Isaid dressed V" "but what is it to be well , t! -Ca tel1 y0U wbat it is't," said Hester. ' It isn't to wear a huge protuberance on your head or your, back, which, if you had been born with it j would hare been consid ered a shocking deformity. It isn't to con ceal all the lines of the human figure, or to make it one mountain of trimming, when trimming should always be subservient, add ine grace, and defining outlines. And then, too, it must be something permanent. It can't be the cbanginjr thine fashion!, dressing is. Art wouldn't make a hallnnn f us this month, and a scantily-draped statue the -next ; Ac wouldn't tilt us up on heels that agonize our toes, and pitch us down stain? tb-day, and to-morrow see: us on the ground iikc po many oarcriootea Indians. "lhat would be comfort." Isaid. "If when dress was made, it would stav m.-irlo and look well till it was worn out. ic would lessen half our labors. " " Well, Hepsy, I believe tho rood time is coming the time when we shall hare a higher civilization, and break the chains fashion fetters us with now. Then we shall distinguish between true beauty and deformi ty ; and our milliners and dressmakers will be artktcs, and not moditte ; and, -instead of lopping and stretching us all on one iron bed. xi .1.1 . uiey win stnay adaptation to ace. comnlex- ion, and character, till we come out of thei r hands individual, as well as "comfortable and attractive. When we think of it, isn't it strange how it ever came about that we let oursslves all be worried into exactly the same shaped garments, no matter how dif ferent we are in size and figure ?" i C 1 I ' 1 f If T . cu suciii-ie anu aosura. j. saia : and Hester went away. Exactly at. one o clock on Thursday the Great Expanded arrived. She was a good aeai puuea out truly, and made all manner Of fun of herself. When lifter Gravwod came in, wearing ner untnmmed crav silk. hc made a low obeisance. " I do thee homage, thou most heroic of womankind !" she cried. "I cast myself in ne aust at thy tect, I envy, I adore the, tnou woman wiio darest ! rinally we got a little ouieted : though naturally enough, our thousrhts still ran on dress. "1 am disgusted with myself." said Lou: 'i really am. 1 don't want to be fashion able; I couldn't afford it if I did ; but my tastes are all1 plain and simple. I consider such an over-loaded, puffed-out concern as 11. ! l. l ... . inis not oniy ridiculous, but vulgar ; yet here T ... ? . j i t t ' am eaung it ; ana x lose my seit-respect in consequence.

" First I had a pitched battle with Mis. Cuttit, and came off victori ous ; then I ran the gantlet of her twenty sewing-girls, wh opened all their forty eyes in holy terror at the trying on. i should as soon think of fighting Her' cules," paid Lon. . " There's no place where 1, am so thoroughly cowed as in dressmakers rsoms, I don t dare to peep or mutter. " Yes ;' amiable people like you rather submit than make a fuss." "But they ought to make a fuss," said Lou ; ""it's sheer cowardice in my case, not amiability. Every lady's dress should bean expression of her own individual taste and character but Took at us ! we are all turned out just alike, like so many ninepins?' ' "Well, what is to be done about it ?" " "Why not form an anti-fashion society. said Hester, "and get all .sensible women to pledge themselves to dress according t their own ideas of propriety, without regard to fashion? 4 Union is strength,' and organized ellort the; order ot the day. . " Capitall" cried Lou " we'll draft and sign a declaration of independence ; and you. Hester, shall put down your name with a great dash, John Hancock-like. 1 I'll make, out the list of grievances." said I. ' . ' "Easy enough to do that," said Lou: wornout : mothers: bankrupted fathers, neg lected babies, disgusted husbands". . 1 Hold there I" I cried.

Tom was in his most hospitable mood ; "iyn and Hester brilliant ; the professor geni d ; and the soups, salmon, and roast lamb, all hem-' done to a turn, the hostess serene. The learned professor and the pretty Hester could not have come together und-r more ausnHous influences ; and Tom and I had great com placency in our little plan A few da-3 after, Tom told me he had been drawing the professor out a little on our guests. "And what did he say at ntcr ?" I asked eagerly. " He said ! this : Miss Gravwood is cer tainly quite pretty ; but what a' pity it is fhe doesn't drees better ! Your friend," Miss Liy ermore. sets her a good example there. " The horrid man ! and he pretending t have classic tastes!" I cried. And (will you believe it?) Tom and .1 are now l.th quite 6ure that the professor, who detests fashion and frippery, who admires only clnste lo 6'gns" and " classic outlines." is actually in love with Lou. And the balloon did it ! Yes the balloon did it ! . " ' Oh, the consistency of men ! Wanted to Arrire. A seedy-looking individual walked into the Crawford House in Cleveland, a few evenings ago, and stepping up to the register, seized the pen and registered his name at the toot of the long list of the day's arrivals. It was a noble name Georgo Washington Botts wiitten in n firm, bold hand, and. with a big flourish underneath. Jt was plain that the seedy man was accustomed to making a flourish in the world, if it wera only' with nen 'Have a room?" inquired the clerk, in cidentally measuring the man with his eagle eyo to see if he wouldn't fit in one of his sky Boudoirs. "No," said seedy shortly, picking his teeth with a splinter toothpick lie had selected from the well assorted supply always found on the counter. . "Supper then, I suppose?" added the clerk, preparing to add an S to tho tnd of George "Washington Botts' name. 'No, Sir, no supper," said Mr. Botts, with severity; "I simply want to arrive. A-r ar, r-i-v-o rive, arrive. I want neither room, supper nor anything else, but particularly desire to arrive. It is a long time since I have arrived at a hotel a very long time" (his voice choked a little), "and I thought, if you hadn't any objec tion, I I would like to arrive once more oeiore l died." . Here he was compelled to hiie his tmr. tions in hia coat tail, in the absence of a pocket handkerchief. Tho clerk, always ieauy u ao a gooa action, generously allowed the unfortunate individual to ar rive, and George Washington Hot to hastily drying his eyes with a Den winor! wrung the captain's hand in 'mute thon-di heartlelt gratitude, and then stalket: gloomily forth into darkness and tl ie night.

Necessity is the mother -of invention, snd the Lorv necessity caasel a fearful strain on the inventive powers of the mgtnious poprr lation of the United States, It is now announced that a new engine for pre pelling streetcars has been invented so compact as to occupy no more space than an ordinary I ae-burn ing parlor stove, and which docs not intrude upon passenger room. By the iculiir ar rangement of the various parts economy of fuel is accomplished, 4b smoke itseff is consumed, and there is no soot, cin ders or noise. The engine Las the power of five horses, and the cars, which are of the usual dimensions, can be controlled, as to stoppage and propul sion, quite as handily as though drawn by horse. The power can be increased at pleasoro op to capacity of a twtnty tive hoie poirer engine, thus enabling ik to ascend grades of four hundred feet to the mile. The engineer can "slow up" in the space of thirty-two feet when the can are going at the rate of twenty five miles an hour. The engine is place 1 upon the rear platform, so that the win dows cm be left open in pleasant weath er, without the annoyance of rmoke or cinders, as there is none of either, while any dust that might be. raised Is left behind, thus conerring avast s mount of tdearar tnd comfort nnon 3s passenger.
