One of tb many devices for varying the effect of simple dresses is to wear ribbon bre-telles These are made with niauy yards of moire or picot edged pros gra ribbons of an inch and a half in width, which are ed in an elaborate knot at tbe waist in the back, brought over the shoulders, where a number of loops are tied and drawn io again to the wtist iu front, where the rest is tied into many and elaborate loops and euds.

Of course these look well on figures uot too much inclined to embr.upoint, and should be of a shade to match the dress. Doi.lt. IS7, D. E. Wolf, Dr.

New York, Jan. 5. Social happenings have in a great measure been held iu abeyance during the holiday season, but now that Santa (Jiaus has done his prettiest aud deserted us for another year the round of receptions and balls has begun again. The advent season in the Episcopal and R.omau Catbol Churches has also had a marked effect on society, many -ladies refusing all iuvitatious and restricting themse.ves to family affairs or sma teas aud During the advent season Archdeacon K.irby has preached at the Chorea of Heavenly Rest Suudav even ugs tt very lare cuugre-gatious. The archdeacon has a.

great reuu-tatiou as a spec al preacher, discourses being full of freshness, piquaucy aud power. The death of Mrs. Astor pas had tne effect of putting a check on what promised to be one ot the most brill aut seasons New York has had for years. Mrs. Astor was not only the zed head of her own set, but also of New York society and wns aeferred to ou ali social matters, no matter how trivial.

Many of her ir.en is have already expressed their intention of absenting themselves from society during the proscr.bed tim-j of conventional mourning, 3il davs, and have left cards edged with black, ailhougn themse.ves not iu intiuruiug, at the family mansiou.

There lias been considerable discuss'on among the out-of-town correspondents as tj me smabest possible sum upon winch a tash-io i) a I ilo youug woman can become clothed and in her right miud to be led to the altar.

But thev are referring to the girls uuwse fathers have boxes at the opera an. I who adoru the balls with their lovely and expensive presence.

Aud. as compared wiih me bum ia.il year for the box, or for the yearly "keep" of voinan herself, it is far from being extravagant, seeing that be is relegating ali future bills to tbe fortunate sou law. ibis is about the way the mouey is speut: t-j begin wnn underwear. If the youug wumua cnuus to the garments of her loiebeai she get. a dozeu each ot plain underwear.

Society considers itself fortunate nowadays if it has even one reallv large party or reception to eo to between Sunday and Sunday.

This week Mrs. Frank Semple's reception ednesday furnished the elite with an opportunity to dou its best bib and tucker end frivil a bit. The winter sports have begun in earnest, ami if we can ouiy have a l.ttie of tbe much vaunted Minnesota weather the young folks can tobog and stiowsboe to the.r he trts' con -tent, aud the lack of parties will not be missed. Marriage is still too often a bargain, but at least it is no longer an entirely onesided bar-Rain. It is tending toward the onl true ideal life-long conn au.tn.-bip a partnership on equal tf-tuis, with equai ve and take on both sides.

"Women uo longer feel bound render that implicit old ence which was considered de rigueur in our eat grandmother's days, and men uo longer uuivtrsally demand it. Husbands, moieovir, are h'giu-niug to learn that the prime duty is uot to look after their wives. The very sentence is indicative of the most ghastiy misapprehension of the whole ideal of uiatr The general feel ing of society condemns a man who lives to rule his ou the same principle as a pasha rules his harem. And indeed the whole scheme of modem life makes it practically impossible for turn to do so. A.

married woman enjoys, ns a rule, complete liberty durmg the lifelong day. aud even at night it is fr queuCy imposs ble, for a busy man to escort his wife. Thus everything turns on the relations between the married couple. If a girl is really in love ith the mau she marries she may lie trusted with auy amount of subsequent freedom If not, not aud therefore we say that the injudicious and worldly parents who are responsible for the great majority of ill-assorted unious are also responsible for the many evil results which are to be seen in society at this day. For it is a fact that lots of English girls are as much forced into marriage as the French girl, whose husband, is selected while she is yet in the convent.

Not by ma force, no but by the whole tone of her education, by the exaggerated fear of becoming an old maid by the obvious necessity ofmakngway for a younger sister, by the pers stent srhemiug of her parents, aud by her own longing for emanc pat. on. For marriage undoubtedly does mean emancipation to most women and it is ut'ecise those who look forward to it most who are likeiy to make the worst use fit Kv. of Baltimore, says: Apart of a woman's education is to make a good loaf of bread. We men must eat.

A girl is not fit to be called a girl unless she can make good bread, and the world is finding that out. Every girl ought to be a good house-keeper. If slid is not, the young man who marries her wiil have to keep house himself. Woman possesses a great deal of substantial 1 fe. If she stands by ber father and mother and home, if she keeps the parlor in order, aud now then slips iuto tb.3 kitchen and has a talk with the cook, she wiil be giving herself a true womanly education.

Tun women of the land need a little waking up to this. The women of America are not so ac tive as those of Europe. In Germany they re requ red to have a trade. In Eugland they help their husbands in business and ac counts. Let me ask.

do you help your moth erf Does your father th.nk his home hap pier because of your presence in it? Can you make a good biscuit? These are home ques tions. You must feed the body as well as the soul, and women most know all about home life. She must govern ber house. It is her empire, where she can receive her friends and show them her hand.woik. Miss Leffler-Arnim's statement, in a lecture delivered recently at St.

Savior's Hospital, tbat "she hud beard of instances where ladies were so determined not to exceed' tbe fashionable measurement tbat they bad actually held on to a crossbar while their maids fast enea tne ntteeu men corset." nas excited a great deal of incredulity, but there is uoth- ing really improbable in it. From the sixteenth century down to our own day there is hardly auy torture that has uot been inflicted on girls, and endured by women, in obedience to the dictates of an unreasonable and monstrous fashion "In order to obtain a real Spanish figure," says Montaigne, "what a Gehenna of suffering will not a -woman endure, drawn iu aud pressed by great coches euteriug the flesh nay, sometimes they eveu die thereof 1" "A few days after mt arr val at school," Mrs. Somervi le tells ns in her memoirs, 'although perfectly straight and well made, I was enclosed iu stiff stars, with a steel bosk in front, while above my frock bands drew my shonMers back until the shoulder blades mot. Then a steel rod with a semicircle, which went uuder my chin, was clasped to tbe steel busk in my stavs. In this constrained state I and most of tbe younger girls had to prepare our lessons;" andintbelfe of Mrs.

Edgeworth we read tbat being seit to a certain fashionable establishment "she underwent all the usual tortures of backboards, iron collars, and dumbs, and also (because she was a verv tiny person) the unusual one of being bung by tbe neck to draw out the muscles aud increase the growth," a signal failure in her case. Indeed, instances of absolute mutilation and misery are so common in the past that it Is unnecessary to multiply them; but it is really sad to think that in our day a civilized woman can hang en to a crossbar while her maid laces her waist into a 15-incb circle. To begin with, the waist is not a circle at all, but an oval; nor can there bo any greater error than to imagine that an unnaturally small waist gives an air of grace, or eveu of brightness to the whole flguro. Its effect, as a rule, is to simply exaggerate the width of the shoulders and tbe hips; and those whoso figures possess that statebness. which is called stoutness by the vulgar, convert what a quality iuto a defect by yielding to tba if Trnn.

It is amusing to note how much nonsense there is in bringing girls out into society. Girls who have beeu from the aje of lOyears, perhaps eveu youuger, in the habit of receiving with their mammas, who have sat with the guests atstats diuuers aud who haveleen takr-n into the family councils for years, are at the age of Hi or put BACK INTO LEADING STIiiSGS, sent with a teacher or a party of girls under one matron to Earope for a few- years of travel or study. At the eud of this tune they returu home aud large party or bad at the commencement of the season aunouuees to the world that they are to "cutneout'' in time for the marrhigable reason. Two targe baiis have already been this season to present to society two young ladies, representatives of two of the oldest of the New York families.

Thousands of dollars and liousands of blossoms were requ red to unfold these rose buds into full blooming roses. They had both spent the crysalis stage in Europe, where they learned several accomplishments and had acqu red several languages aud an admixture of American and French manners, so much so that everyone who was bidden to the fetes remarked on tbe charming little foreigu manners of theyonug debutantes and tbat are greatly adiu red by the young people who admire that smacks of Eugl.sh or French. They have, it is true, exchanged the freedom aud the liberty which is so essential a part of the American girl's make-up and have acquired a certain degree of primness or repese. They have learned to walk well, dauce gracefully aud coquette with their lorgnette with s-uch exqursite shades of meaning in its nse as to make all the rest of tha eiris fatut from envy. lor the manipulation of these glasses is a part of the French gri'sart aud iu strong coutrast with the provincial way in which tbe.r use is affected on this side of tbe wa.er.

A haudsome tea gown latelv imported is made of mahogany-colored faille Fraucaise and old gold satin trimmed with fur and gold uet. The fable princesse dress opens iu front, aud is bordered with a band of fur at each side. The long, loose sleeves are open from the shoulder, lined with old-gold satin and trimmed with the fur at the edge. Beneath these are gathered sieeves of amber crape, dotted with dark garnet beads. A large sat bow is placed on the left shoulder, ths made of old gold.

The petticoat is of mahogony satin, veiled w.th gold net, with a scarf of the same takeu around the hips in oriental fashion, and knotted at the left side. The tdges of the two long scurf ends are draw to a close point by a silk shirr-string and held by tassels of garnet beads. A stra ght mahogony velvet collar goes around the neck, wh.cb is partly covered, at the back. only, by a narrow- band of the fur trimming. The bodice port.

on opens slightly over a vest of gold lace. Among the new devices iu waist buckles are some very handsome ones in oxydized metal, fashioned after the pattern of old Norwegian silver clasps, and bearing a marked resemblance to the sterling metal These clasps wear remarkably well, and there are brooches and bangles to correspond. In other fancy stores are l-ouglit-iron bangles, necklets, girdies aud clasps. There is no reason why graceful and unique ornaments made of materials less costly than gold or silver should uot become popular for a time at least. Uood honest jnetal, with nothing meretricious about it, has a merit and value of its own not to be sniffed at.

Cinderella dances, closing ou the stroke of 12, have begun once again. The prettiest toilets worn at a recent dance were made of broad striped satin fabrics, soma in. brilliant oriental colorings, others in strips of faintest tints of rose, lilac, or blue. Above full skirts made of these rich fabrics were worn Spanish bodices of velvet, of tener of black than of a color matched to the stripe, with- Russian guimpes above of tinted crepe lisse, crepe de chiue, or shirred surah. The bodices were mobtly plain, but in a number of instances joyful candidates for matrimony met their depressed comrades at the Minnesota ciub and endeavored to arouse their drooping spirits bv the appiicat.on of certain well-known restoratives but all in vain they would weep.

It was au revo and uot adieu, for th? others will soon follow. The lean year hop of the German club will occur Tusdav evening, and there is a verv g-ceral. a thoQh somewhat robust flattering among the men of tbe club Those who have not been invited are desoiate. and tho-e who have are regarding their short back hair with vexation, and selecting with cara from their stock of Worth srowns.
