There's a black rage in Paris it's the style to look as if yon were in light mourning there, whether it's so or not. All the toilets one sees are black of some description, or black and white that is, all but the hats. A woman may go out deeply and solemnly robed in a garment that one would surely •appose to be worn as a token of grief

THE PARISIAN GOWN.

•until one's eyes reached the headgear, •when its light and brilliant coloring would immediately dispel the effect. They're not a bit consistent in gay Paris, else one might think they had at lata reached a period of sobriety and common sense that they had concluded to be more like their English sisters, and settle down In quieter and more subdued colors. Hut when a woman wears a black gown and a hat containing several colors of the rainbow in bright display, there is little foundation for tho belief, after all.

A dress that has just come here from that city, one that will be worn by a gay city belle at a very quiet little watering place, is in soft foulard silk, of big black and white and gray plaid at least, the plain skirt is of this material. Tho long bodice is of black rnottsseIi.no do soio, and is gathered In at the front in looso folds. The edge is scalloped all round-with white. Down the front a double jabot of black and white chiffon, with a scallop the same as that at the edge of the bodice, is fastened, baited in by a sash that starts vvido and high under tho arms, and narrows off and ties in a stiff bow at tho front. I had a peep at the hat, too, that is going to be worn with tho dress, but it wasn't gay, as I expected it would be. It was just a very tiny, Hat shape, covered with soft, gray lace, ^rhnjnofj with black jet flowers and black,ribbon!.

And then I scanned a pretty black ehantilly that was coming out at a dinner it had a long silk over jacket that came v\*ay down over the lace skift, but was open a little at tho front to let tho lace come through.

I saw another of black crepe—the soft, silky, llhnsy kind—of princess cut.

TWO DAINTY SUNSHADES.

all fulled and gathered close into the left shoulder. Over it went a deep •white collar of sheer batiste, edged with lace points.

There's something about black that attracts one, and Americans are beginning to take up the French fad. There's nothing lilco gausty black against an exquisitely fair skin, especially these summer evenings, and so the summer girl, knowing full well the value of looking her prettiest and most captivating in tho yrorm season, speedily 'orders two or three thjja black gowns aiji^ng ^er suum\pr jrardrobe.

Ercft in the Lot city one sfes considerable of it. I saw a couple walking before me this morning that made a charming picture. The man was dad In a light, cool summer suit. The Httle woman by his side was gowned all in black, but sho looked as cool and charming as if the thermometer hod been sixty instead of ninety. She was a genuine Gnctchen, sweet and plump and fair, with a faint color on her cheeks and a pure gold in her hair. Her dress was of black failla, mode very simply, with deep black Jefcjwdnti at the edge of the skirt the same deep points around the xllce's edge and alio at the neck. Kin what was most attractive •was her perfect n«Us«i Although her train verv long, there wasn't a speck of dnsi on it—she held it up so -well—and 1 caught a glimpse undern«as of a dainty, spotlessly white skirt —a, most refreshing sight after our fussy silk onek. Her little russet ties matched her hair, and her black lae« bonnet had faint bh*.h roses standing np from it. The two looked so eon*ffiru'iV happy that I fallowed

them a long tame, watching-them as they talked easily together, and catching the look of distress that came over her face when the lace of her tie loosened. She stopped right away to have it fastened, and I heard her say? "Tie it tight," as I passed them and went on, wishing all women would look as pretty and dress as quietly as this one.

Say, don't yon love parasols? Even if you haven't the remotest idea of buying one, isn't it delightful to pick up a lot of the pretty things and open and close them with a snap, and hold them behind your head and admire yourself in the mirror as you twirl one, all puffs and raffles, oyer your shoulder? It is nice to have one for every gown, but if that u. out of the question, why, do the next best thing and pick out a pretty one that will harmonize with most anything. That is what a friend of mine asked me to do for her, to purchase a parasol that she could wear with all her summer gowns, and I stood and hesitated long before these two.

Number one—White chiffon ground, and over it, star-shaped, so as to cover almost all the ground, Irish point of exquisite pattern jabots of chiffon running from center to edge at wide intervals two short flounces of white chiffon innumerable fine white ribbon loops in the center, on top of the stick stick in cream, well thorned, with an pnyx ball at the handle.

Number two—Black moire, all covered with black lace, put on like palm leaves each palm leaf trimmed with a ruffle of crepe lisse around the whole parasol the stick black bamboo, with fancy carved handle. "Which of the two would you have chosen?"

I chose the white one at length, for I knew the maiden had a favorite dress that would doubtless be seen on many occasions, and that would look particularly well in connection with this white sunshade. The color of the dress is a pale pink, and its skirt has no train, for sho wants to run over the shining sands without holding it up. It has a very deep ruffle of the same pink as the dress—a thin, fine muslin—headed by a closely-twisted muslin rope. At tho belt is a narrow band of pale fawn velvet. The neck is cut in a rather low V, and a pretty lace fichu falls over the shoulders.

and knots itself carelessly in front. Her islceves •como only to the elbow and tho the lace ruflles do not Wring them down very much farther, so that sho looks cool and airy on the warmest of days. And when she shall raise that white sunshade over the pretty figure and take a stroll over summer piazza or green grass, there'll be no resisting her, I know. EVA A. SCHUBERT.

Could Retaliate.

Mother Simpson had sent to Boston, and bought a new "set of china." Thcro it was, in its glory of white and gold, nobody knows how many pieces enough, apparently, to set a table for "all tho king's men." "But don't it seem a sinful waste, sister?" asked her brother's wife, who was still using her old "mulberry pattorn." "You're gcttin' along in years, an' you won't need no chiny long." "I may not need it long, but I need it now, an' I have needed it for forty years," returned Mother Simpson, stoutly. "You don't know how I've, been cramped, Laviny!" "Well, I don't jestly see how," said Laviny. "You've al'ays set your table, an' cat off on't, an' that's all any on us do." "Set my table! Yes, but have I ever give a tea-party? Now, Laviny Edwards, hace I? I've been invited out over'n over again, an' now I can retaliate!"—Youth's Companion.

Afraid of Know tag Too 2tfurh.

Attempts at educating the English yoeman do not always meet the encouragement and success they deserve, "The conservatives are going to give us more free education, Jones," says an enthusiastic young member of the Primrose league to her father's estate' carpenter. ''There is to be a carving class, and you must go and learn to make all sorts of beautiful things, and then if you are laid up in the winter at any time you can amuse yourself and earn money by your carving." Jones promises reluctantly and as if he was doing the young lady a great favor. "H9W% di$ y$u get on last night asks the* girl a few days laiei ell, miss, I didn't go. I thought it over well and made ouflf I went I might get to know too much, and that ain't good £oi anybody."—Chicago Tribune.

Ralph's Success.

I COPYRIGHT, 1892.]

Writers and editors of to-day differ widely from those of the last generation, but it must not be supposed that romance went out of the profession of letters when bohemianism found the good taste to withdraw. Many of the names associated with our leading magazines bring good stories to the memory of who knows the secrets of the inner circle.

Take the case of J. Bxisben Walker, the editor and proprietor of -the Cosmopolitan Magazine.. He has had a career remarkable in some of its phases of change and contrast. Few men have

:K„: JOHN BRISBEN WALKER

had so wide a range of experience, and I know of no one who has ever made such a success as he has made after many years of relative failure. There is no trace of any of his remarkable trials and experiences in the stern lines of his regular-featured face. There is hardly a gray hair in his short black looks, although he must be to-day in the neighborhood of forty-four years of age. He has been throughout a man of remarkable fortitude and self-reliance.

A Pennsylvanian by birth, at the age of ten Mr. Walker entered a classical school in Washington, D. C. He pursued his studies at various schools for the next ten years, finally resigning from West Point in 1868 to enter the military service of the Chinese government at the suggestion of lion. Anson Burlingame, who was on his way around the world as ambassador of that country, accompanying Hon, J. Ross Browne. Returning to the United States in 1870 he engaged in manufacturing in the Kanawah valley, took an active interest in politics and was nominated for congress. In the panic of 1873 and 1874 he lost his entire fortune. Turning to the nearest work at hand ho prepared a series of articles for the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette on the mineral and manufacturing interest of the country.

Mr. Walker shortly afterward becamg managing editor of the Telegraph,^nd early in 1870 was made editor ill cnief of the Washington (D. C.) Daily Chronicle, and for three years was engaged in journalism. In 187S rtie removed to

Denver and engaged, }n a small way, in alfalfa farming. He was a pioneer in the introduction of that wonderful plant, and gave his farm his closest personal attention, wearing overalls and flannel shirt, working in the ditches, or spending his day on horseback, and at the end of ten years making Berkley farm the largest alfalfa farm cast of the Rocky mountains. At the same time he was engaged in a series of engineering operations which secured from the Platte river an area equal to more than five hundred lots, adjoining the Union depot of Denver and almost in tho heart of the town.

With itho large capital acquired from the sale of his property he has come to the rescue of the Cosmopolitan Magasine and has made it a handsome financial success.

For more than twenty years Henry Mills Alden has been managing editor of Harper's Magazine. With the solid fulcrum of such a publication, even clumsy leverage would Insure com* manding influence, but he w&uld be a positive force In almost any sphere of human activity. He Is in complete harmony with the traditions of the great publishing house. These traditions foster but one identity—that of the magazine itself. Oa the surface tho individual has no existence be fk simply one of the hidden springs contributing to the vast ocean at literature which sweeps over the Harper pages. So it happens that the managing editor, in that capacity, is a comparatively unknown man. He and his associates .are seen and known only by the few. Tbey are so inaccessible and so far beyond the reach of accidental discovery that, without a guide's services, they are entirely safe from Intrusion.

Cincinnati. His childhood was spent is, that city and at Painesville, O. He was educated in the public schools of Cincinnati and at Prof. WorraU's academy in "Covington, Ky., where he studied the higher mathematics and prepared himself fat his profession as civil engineer.

With the visions of big suspension bridges, massive aqueducts and difficult railroad tunnels floating through his head, he accepted a position with Mr. Earnshaw, C. E., in Cincinnati, and for. weeks dragged a heavy iron chain over the dusty limestone roads and quarries, or with a bulky sledge drove the oak stakes home in the mud of Mill Creek bottom. He left Mr. Earnshaw to take a place in the office of R. C. Phillips, at $4 per week, an advance of just 400 cents on his previous salary.

He soon afterward took a position in the city civil engineer's office, and then one in the platting commissioner's office, under Gen. Hickenlooper. Later and more remunerative professional engagements brought opportunity for travel, which he eagerly accepted, and in the next five years he visited almost every city, town and village between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic, the gulf of Mexico and the great northern lakes.

It was during this period that social problems excited his interest, and he never missed an opportunity of interviewing employers and workmen in the shops, the mills and the mines.

While in New York on a vacation, Mr. Drake, of the Century Company, met him, and becoming interested in some natural history sketches, encouraged him, by purchasing his sketches for the Century Company, to adopt the profession of art. Mr. Beard is still on that "vacation" and has been a contributor to the magazines, both with the brush and pen, ever since. Ho exhibits at the Academy occasionally, and is the author of the "American Boys' Handy Book," published by Charles Scribner's Sons. Beard studies at the Art Students' league at night and for four years under Sartain and Beckwith. His last work of importance was the illustrating of Mark Twain's "A Yankee at King Arthur's Court."

Webster & Co., by the way, have recently established a department for trade books and will, henceforth givo special attention to trade publications. In January of the present year Mr. Arthur Stedman, son of the poet Sted-

man, became the literary adviser of the house. He is still a young man, having been born in June, 1850. Tho excellent judgment he displayed in tho selection and arrangement of Whitman's poems for the new "Fiction, Fact and Fancy*' series of this house has been universally commended by sensible people.

Young Stedman graduated from Yale in the regular department with the class of '81, and received the degree of Master of Arts in course for studies in American literary "his tory. He worked for a year after his graduation on a country newspaper in Connecticut and left to take a position under E. C. Stedman and Miss Hutchinson, on the "Library of American Literature," which he retained for eight years. All the biographies of American authors in that work were prepared by him.

Every reader of the Harper's magazines for this year must have noticed the unusual amount of space accorded to the productions of a single writer, Julian Ralph. You can count upon your thumbs the number of men who have been so honored by the Harpers. Ralph has several times had two articles in a single number of the "monthly," find they have been good ones, too. Sir. J. Henry Harper, of that famous firm, is the man who has discovered Ralph's abilities and usefulness to a magazine, according to current report. Not that he was without recognition before, but

certainly he had never been placod lnso favorable a position for the display of his talents.

Julian Ralph was born in Now York cify In 1853. He received fair schooling, and then, as he puts it, "went to college in a printing ofilcc." He took a four years? course, beginning In 1887, and then starts the Lead«r Sn Bed B&ak, N. J-, which swamped him financially in eleven weeks. Se had the usual fortune a newspaper writer for a time, and at last becaiae connected with the staff of the New York Graphic. There, in 1375, he mads' his first real ••toll** in his reports of the Beecher trial. These won him a good place on (he Sun, which be held .until recently, with the intermission of a year when be orascity editor of the World under Mr. Btuabait
