this is not infallible. An excellent
dressing is now prepared that re-
stores the polish, and does not soil
skirts when moist.
Haif-high Polish CATERS with
medium rounded toes without tips,
and buttoned with jet are the favorite
boots for walking. Heels are slightly
lower, very little curved, and are
much broader than the slOplng heels
lately in vogue. Fancy boots are
stitched with white. A carriage or
evening shoe is laced IN front and
trimmed over the instep with braiding
and Jet. a pretty light gaiter IS made
of prunella uppers finished with kid.
Bronze boots are still seen on the
street. All bronze IS defaced By
moisture. There is q bronze dressing
that viii restore the color. but not
permanently.
The white satin of the wedding
dress is made into bridal slippers and
CATERS. The ornaments are blonde
lace and seed pearl embroidery. The
CATERS are buttoned with Roman
pearls. Dancing boots, with slightly
concave heels, are Of colored kid, or
of the material Of the dress, with
colored heels.
Bows for slippers are made of col
ored velvet, cut bias, and of kid leaves
bound with silk and held together by
steel buckles. Bronze bows have gilt
buckles. Large Pompadour rozettes
that cover the entire instep are admir-
ed for morning use. They. are put on
ordinary black kid slippers, with
curved heels, covered with cloth the
color Of the rosette. Toilette slippers
without heels have kid facings a half
inch deep around the top, and chain
stitched with violet or blue silk.
Full Polish boots are selected for
children. For school and for ordi-
nary wear the pebbled goat is pre-
ferred to kid. Cuir-color, bronze and
fancy morocco is used for dress gait
ers They are trimmed with rosettes,
tassels, and the fancy stitching and
applique ornaments that are not in
good taste for ladies.

AYERS CATHARTIC pills.

For all the Purposes Of q LeTatiUe Medicine
Perhaps no one medicine is so uniyer-
sally required by every body as a cathartic,
nor was ever any before so universally
adopted into use, in every country and
among all classes, as this mild but efficient
pnrgatiVe PILL. The obvious reason is
that it is q more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Those

mere, Chambery gauze, alpaca, and
the japanese foulards are selected for
Summer suits, in delicate shades Of
buff, awn-color, drab and pea-green.
Glossy white alpaca and mohair are
trimmed with the clear light blue, now
so fashionable in Europe. Chambery
gauze or goats hair, a thicker fabric
than that worn for evening dresses, is
ia narrow stripes of any bright color,

THE FASHION =.
COUNTRY SUITS.


Spring toilettes having been brought
to completion IN time to display. them
on the promenade during the balmy
Nav weather. our modistes are already
devising costumes for Summer. In an
tieipation Of the Usual heglra to the
sea side and watering places, country
salts, as they are called, are IN active
preparation. The Partisan models I'M
ported tor the coming season are IN
the Watteau or Pompadour style, or q
Ia lUarie 4 tojnette.
The Watteau Is IN imitation OF the
pastoral dress worn by court shep-
herdesses in the days Of Louis XIV,
when they enacted idyls at TrianOn
and Fontainebleau. It Is a close copy
Of the Original costume, with its
square Pompadour neck, its velvet
necklace and cross, the merest atom
of sleeve, a belt and sash loOped with
eglantine. and a festooned Over-dress
with striped petticoat, short enough
to display clocked stockings and sllp-
pers with large rOsettes. Inns Ianc!-
full attire is surmounted By a Louis
Quinze hat turned up at the lett slde'
and a cardinal pelerlne with long
pointed hood.
Differing from this Is the Marie An
toinette. With its high-necked fchu
folded over the breast, sleeves pulled
to the elbow and frilled, slender
waist ard paniers. with skirts trimmed
with i1numerable ruf1es and ruches.
The broad-rimmed garden hat of chip
is trimmed with field flowers, and
completes a costume peculiarly be-
coming to youthful faces and slender
figures. The Vatican is better suited
to maturity and embonpoint, but, ike
everything else, they are worn indis-
criminately.

HTNTs ABOUT Dies. lIAKING.

French dresses, when buttoned in
front of the corsage, are no longer
very high at the throat. The neck is
disclosed as far down as the slope of
the shoulders. Vandykcd and seal
loped bands are universally worn.
They fit more neatly when cut bias,
and should match the trimming in
color. Another plan is to stitch a
row. of points on a narrow band. The
points are formed by doubling small
squares of silk. then folding toward
the center.
Underskirts OF imported costumes
have belt defined on the skirt, plain
and smooth in front, but are gathered
in the back with drawing string.
The best plan for finishing the edge
Of a skirt is to sew the material of the
dress and facing together on the
wrong side, making a broad seam,
then turn over evenly, and press
smoothly. The seam may be from a
quarter of an inch to an inch wide,
and if sewn without puckering,. serves
to make the edge Of the skirt stand
out firmly The old practice of turn
ing up the material of the dress on
the facing is Objectionable, as the
skirt is apt to cut out at the edge.

article is to strike at BIS credit: He raises
$50. 600, goes into the market, and IN Two hours

ploys broker to hawk about the street. The

naturally suggested that screw may be loose

names, and hence be loses no time IN running
about. On the other hand. each note buyer

ceivable paid in, which he is anxious to invest
Immediately in bills receivable, and he at once
picks out Of the brokers' portfolio such paper
as he likes best. The secret reason why men
fail in New York will be found in the way
their paper is rated in Wall-street. Any con-
Germ which rules second best for few years will
go down, for the reason that this will prevent
them from buying goods in on advantageous
manner. In this way the failure OF the large
house Of Bowen, McNamee s. Co. was prophe-
sled years before it took place, for while they
did profitable trade and built two marble
stores in Broadway, yet their paper went in
the street at two and one-half per cent. per
month, and this killed them on the long run.
Dealing in notes is liable to one peculiar dam
ger, and that is forgery. Generally speaking,
buyers depend on the reputation OF the broker,
who knows where he gets his paper, and will
not hazard q business worth $50. 900 year to
get of bad note. Sometimes, however,

this be explained2 Simply by the fact that he has
executed several neat torgeries, some OF which
he sells to unscrupulous parties. This was

above referred to, but we think The guilty par
ties stand good chance Of State prison, which
they richly deserve at any rate.
