The Bondage or American Wo*
men.
The liberty American women have
be.'orc marriage in sharp contrast to tho
bondage succeeding it. Foreigners are
as much startled by ouo as choy are sur
prised by the other. They think wc
fail to shield in time of peril, an 1 re ar
bulwarks iu front of security. They
cannot undcrstind h<>w hose nstring,
sagacious and -elf helpful, in an uigaur
ded state, should require vigilanco and
rest riet i u when pos.-e*>od of added
knowledge, higher responsibilities, aud
legal protectors. The freedom of our
wedded women should be ng broad and
full as that of the uuweded. Domesticity
should regulate itself. Tho cord of
loyalty, binding love can not be stretch
! cd very far without breaking ; and when
j it breaks, love is released. A man and
woman aro married to each othor, not
to all their acquaintances an 1 ov >ry cu
rious gossip. It is fair to presume
that they kuow whut they wishj,
and that they can arrange their
affairs without into, mediation. Tho
liberty they aro gonorally willing to
give the one to the othor they are re
strained fron giving by tho question of
appearances. From this defcrenoo to
tho society they secretly despise they
insure mutnal weariness an A dissonance,
and forego likewise the satisfaction and
advancement they might, havo gained
by taking more personal and spiritual
latitude Beside the nuptial alta r too
often yawns the tomb of woman's pro
gress, and, strangely and sadly snoogh,
she assists at its burial without protest
or complaint.
Tns Uumband.?Ladies sometimes
do not value their husbands as they
ought. They not uofreqneutly loam the
value of a good husband for the first
tim by the lees of him. Yet the hus
band is the very roof tree of tho house

koy.stone called hams. We is ths bread,,

of the golden ohsiq of life whioh sqr

its king. Yet, we say, how frail ;is that
life on which bo much depends I How
frail is the life of the husband and
father 1 When he is taken away, who
shall fill his place 7 When heissiok,
what gloomy elouds hover orer the
house 1 When he is dead, what dark
ness, weeping, agony I The poverty,
like the murderous assassin, breaks in
the window?starvation, like a famish
ing wolf, howls at the door. Widow
hood is often as associate of sackcloth
and ashes. Orphanhood too often moans
desolation and woe.
Creole) Women.
The Creole woman is prettier than the
French women. There is a climatic in
fluence in America whioh refiaes features
and gives delioaoy to tho complexion.
This is especially the case in Louisiana,
where finely formed women ?ro often
feund to be the descendants of ignoble
looking ancestors. The light olive ti nt
of tho woman seems to have been paint
ed over a ground color of blushing lake,
and this pinkish oreaminess of the skin
saves it from dullness and sallowness.
In a word, there is something of that
traaspsreoy for whioh painters are
always seeking.
She inherits from her mother over the
sea tho physical characteristics of rouud
limbs and delicate extremities, with a
figure iomethiug slighter?another
effect of climate, also that sense of art
with which '.he people are born, but ean
never entirely acquire. From the same
source come her coquetry and her grace
of speech and action, but modified. She
does not wear crude colors or swry
shapes; nor docs she ozpress herself
with unseemly gesture or discordant
tones. Her dress is rather sombre than
gay, and her carriage simple and conven
tional?for they all walk alike. Smooth
ness and graceful propriety are bars. In
a word there is an absence of angles in
her gsneral oonduot.? Galaxy.
Inshions.
The fashionable umbrella is now more
attenuated than evor.
Ladies, hats this season consists chiefly
of two bows of ribbon and a stiff ostrieh
feather.
The Elizabethan ruffs are assuming
proportions more ponderous and awe-in ?
spiting than ever.
Cameos have gone out of fashion for
jewelry, hating been succeeded by en
taglios?antique, if possible.
It is fashionable now to have all tho
maid servants in tho household, to wear
anfmy *iW the English style.
Ladies just from Europe wear their
hair very plain and low on the nock?a
style all the tago in Paris.
Fringes are to be very fashionable as
trimmings this winter. Some of the
haudsouicr sorts are as expensive as fine
laces.
The war against gilt and imitation
jewolcry continues furiously. As a re
sult, very little of it is worn by would
be fashionable ladies.
Peaceek blue is the new eolor for
sashes, which are worn of the widest
kind of ribbon, and with long ends
down to the skirt of the dress. Peacock
blue is very soft and beautiful shade.
