THE SPIRIT OF HURRY IN RECREATION. A common criticism made by foreigners who visit our shores is that we devote too much time to business and too little to pleasure; that we all work too hard with brain, or nerve, or muscle and give leisure and recreation too small a place in our plan of life. This charge is certainly not an unjust one, and we are slowly becoming conscious of our need of reform in this respect. Many efforts, both public and private, to arrive at a wiser distribution of time are now being made and will doubtless prove successful in improving both work and workers. Another evil, however, which we have not yet fully met, is that the same spirit of hurry and desire of crowding a great deal into a short space of time which has characterized our business life, is spreading over our so-called hours of leisure. This is perhaps not strange when we consider the vastly increasing opportunities of every kind which an advancing civilization is opening up before us. For self-culture and intellectual curiosity there are multitudes of books, lectures and classes on every variety of subject; philanthropy offers an unlimited field to the charitable; athletic sports and gymnasiums promise health and pleasure to the active; art and music are worlds in themselves; society and fashion are exhaustless in their demands on those within their spheres; clubs of every description attract their votaries; travel is made so easy and inviting that thousands partake of it, although once it was the costly privilege of a very few. When to all these we add the claims of family and friends, and the more strictly personal desires known to each one, we can scarcely wonder that the same eager haste with which diligent men and women pursue their respective occupations should also enter into the few short hours which they can devote to their things.

There are, however, many urgent reasons why this should be strenuously avoided. Mental and moral sanity demand that at least a portion of our time be peaceful and reposeful. We all admit the necessity of the rest which sleep affords, but there is another kind of rest for the waking hours which is nearly as essential. If the entire day and evening are spent in eager excitement; if nerve and brain are taxed to their utmost, first in business, and then in a succession of other engrossing interests, the system is unprepared for the soothing influence of sleep, and often refuses to yield to it. Human nature requires a certain modicum of pleasurable excitement, and there are monotonous and uninteresting lives which suffer from the lack of it; but it also demands for its healthy continuance a certain period when excitement is banished and a quiet and restful serenity takes possession. If we fail to secure this, both our health and powers are endangered. The home evenings, where parents and children grow intimate, where confidences are exchanged and affection is nourished, where tranquil happiness brings that rest of the brain which is the best preparation for calm and unbroken sleep, are growing all too rare.

Besides this, the spirit of hurry in recreations destroys the best good they have in store for us. It unsettles the attention, distracts the observant powers, fritters the thoughts and confuses the impressions. We visit a picture gallery, for example, resolved to omit nothing, though our time is limited. So we walk hastily through, looking at each picture in turn and receiving only a jumble of images in our mind, without definiteness or coherence. Had we devoted the short time at our disposal to one or two of the best or most interesting works of art, we might have carried away a vivid and lasting impression in our memory while entirely avoiding the mental fatigue of our hurried struggle to see the whole. So in travel. This nervous haste to go everywhere and see everything spoils the best results of our excursions. Conscious of the swift passage of our brief holiday, we fly from town to town, from building to building, we gaze in turn upon lake, mountain and river, meadow and stream, congratulating ourselves upon seeing so much and so speedily, when in fact we are not seeing anything as it deserves. Mr. Helps says upon this point: "Let no truly observant man feel the least envious or disconcerted when he hears others talk familiarly of cities which are dreamland to him, the names of which are poetry in his mind. Many of these men never have seen, and never can see anything as he can see it. The wise do not hurry without good reason. A judicious traveller tells me that he once went to see one of the greatest wonders of the world. He gazed and gazed, each minute seeing more, and might have gone on seeing into the thing for weeks, he said. Two regular tourists walked in, glanced about them and, almost before he could look round they were gone. They will say they saw what there was to be seen. Poor fellows! Other men might have instructed them; now they will have their own misconceptions, arising from hasty impressions, to contend with." The same is true of all recreations. The spirit of hurry must give way to the spirit of tranquility to insure their best results. Our hours of leisure are too few and too precious to be wasted by clamoring process, which can only end in fatigue and mental confusion.

WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE. During the session of Legislature there were 502 bills introduced and considered in the House and 334 were introduced in the Senate. Of this number the Senate passed 205 and the House about 270. Nearly all the bills passed will become laws. In the whole number not a single political bill was passed, many useless offices were abolished, salaries have been reduced and appropriations fairly slaughtered. The incidental bill carries but $7,000 this year, this being about $4,000 less than last year and about $10,000 less than the Democratic Legislature of 1892. It is estimated the total appropriations this year, including those for the new wing of the State Prison and the Reformatory, will show a decrease over last year of over $250,000. The work of the Legislature is well summarized as follows:

Not a single office has been created. Not a single salary has been increased.

The Legislature started in by cutting off from $10,000 to $20,000 expenses in the salaries of pages, doorkeepers and

other appointive offices.

It continued the good work by saving the State $50,000 annually in abolishing

the useless offices of law judges.

It has cut down much needed appropriations but at the same time it has provided for the beginning of a State Reformatory, for the enlargement of the State Prison, and for a greatly needed extension to the Morris Plains Asylum. It has added to the State School Fund in order to supply much needed improvements in the State system of

schools.

It has adopted amendments to the Constitution essential to the moral and judicial protection of the people. It has opened up and exposed to public view the rascalities, the thievery and the bold, unscrupulous robbery of the State in former years, and has stopped it all. This is exactly the same as saving the State untold thousands of dollars in the annual appropriations. It has enacted the elective Judiciary bill, the new naturalization bill, has judiciously amended the township school law, and its acts and enactments will bear close scrutiny from beginning to

end.

Wildwood Election Ordered. Supreme Court Justice Reed, on motion of Judge Howard Carrow, of Camden, Monday night granted an order for the incorporation of Wildwood as a borough. The election will be held on the 30th

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 8, 1895.

WOMEN'S DRESSES. Ready-to-wear, and that means infinitely more than you've hoped for in readymade dresses--perfect as made-to-order; conscientious care guarding every step in the fashioning; styles taken from the best foreign models. These three styles are among our exclusive productions: "The Goodwood," "The Gerton," "The Ailsa." $14 and

$15.

COTTON DRESS STUFFS. Daintily pretty creations--woven beauties; printed beauties, and filmy beauties that look as though the makers had laid them over beds of flowers and let the sun coax them through. You've made it necessary for us to gather more than ever and we've made the bigger gathering brighter than you've known. The prices are as winsome as the goods. Let's skip the bigger ones to-day and look at these. Lawns, 4c--Yankee made; maker says "fast colors," customers tell us the statement is right. Pretty, too. Dress Cheviot, 5c--A cotton for sturdy wear; bramble-proof, nearly; serviceable always. These were intended to be 10c. 32-in. Printed Lawns, 8c--Closely woven, even threads; light colored grounds, with dots, stripes and tiny figures. Fairly 12 ½c goods. 36-in. Printed Surah, 8c--A close twilled cotton apeing the wool in looks. The quality has been 12 ½c, but the beauty is new. Printed Dimities, 8c--Sheer, crisp, dainty. Figures and flowers. Printed Dimities, 12½c--Made to be like the 25c imported ones. It's saying much to acknowledge the maker's success.

DRESS STUFFS

Counter after counter full; grouped as we thought for your convenience--maybe not, but how else can we show the loom-chattered wit of all nations? Not one beauty in fifty gets a word in the papers; but they every one deserve it. Spend fifteen minutes or half-a-day among them.

Silk-and-wool Crepe Brilliant. Charming color combinations. A mingling of dainty colored yarns brightened with silk threads that play at high-and-seek all over it. 10 styles, $1.25 a yard.

Figured silk-and-wool Crepe Brilliant. Eight different combinations; bolder weave, heavier threads, covered with silk figures. 40 in., $1.50 a yard. Silk-and-wool Tailor-cord Suiting. Six different color combinations, woven with a bold diagonal twill of half and half silk-and-wool. Weave and colorings that make a stylish gown. 18 in., $2 a yard. Fancy Silk-Mixed Cheviots. 38 different styles of weaves and color play are combined in these silk-mixed, sun-glint Cheviot Dress Stuffs. The large sales keep the number of pieces few; but there are new arrivals almost daily from the mills. Variety is hard to get better than to-day's. 40 in., 75c a yard. Silk-and-wool Taffetas. Suitable for wear the entire summer, woven with tidy dots and figures on narrow silk stripes; twelve different patterns, including pin checks in navy blue and white. 75c and $1 a yard.

And here's a list of stuffs ready for any outing--with no danger of hurt.

English ravenette Serges. Fine all-wool twilled Serge chemically treated to turn water, and from which the stains of travel can be easily removed. Suitable for dress, traveling or storm wear. Maker's stamp on wrong side every few yards. Making more they're learning better, and the $2 quality of a few months ago is now $1.25. 60 in., navy blue and black. In cheviot-finish, navy blue, black and brown, $1.50 a yard. Pluette. Wade here; a cheviot-finished Serge. The maker claims that nothing short of heat will destroy the shower-proof properties of this fabric. Sightly and stylish, with a close fine twill, in navy blue and black; 48 in., $1 a yard; 56 in., $1.25 a yard.

Saltwater Serge. Made in Bradford, the largest woolen manufacturing centre of England, and treated specially in the yarn before weaving and afterward in the dyeing and finishing. Take a bunch of it in hand, crispy; release it and see how quickly it recovers its former condition--no wrinkles or creases; and the maker says that even sea-water won't hurt its color. Three qualities, 42 and 44 in., navy blue and blacks, 55, 75 and 85c; cardinal and cream, 60 and 85c a yard.

WOMEN'S SHOE, $1.50 Are you cheated? The papers in towns not a day's journey from Philadelphia advertise Women's Shoes at $1.50 from $3, which is claimed to be giving them to you at less than it took to make them. We bought a pair and tore them apart. The leather is quite good, the lining ordinary, the wax and tacks of the sole hid by a bit of stuff pasted over--let the foot get warm, the glue gives and the wearer gets down to the stocking-tearing sole tor-

ture of the bargain.

Does the seller tote fair? No, and yet the Shoes are fairly worth what they cost; but they were led to buy them as $3 Shoes. Analyze the costs of making and our regular $1.50 Shoes cost more than we could duplicate the "$3 Shoe" for. Ours has Goodyear welt, with insole that are same as hand-sewed; has nothing to hide and can't come out. Prettily stitched soles; almost daintily finished tops--not a skimp. Sold 16,000 pairs of them last year, and we'll sell many more this year; not a bargain Shoe, but a bargain in Shoes.

We don't let anybody give you quite as much for your money as you'll get here.

BEDROOM SUITS. Two-thirds of what you'd pay for them anywhere else. The makers thank us for the room we made for them by taking three car-loads; thanked us most for the quick cash. Saving is yours. Birch Bedroom Suits, fresh from the factories; natural finish; especially good for Summer furnishings, be it home, hotel or cottage. Six patterns--two with square mirrors; two with oval mirrors; two with Cheval dressing mirrors. At $20--Birch Suit, 3 pieces.
