Where are the heather Chinee
A new method has lately been discovered OF
washing lace by machinery Will. III friction
and without hot water. The results are very
satisfactory. Collars, coiffures, barbes, caps,
handkerchiefs anu the like are restored 70 q

the fabric, b. It ever so fine ana delicate.
ORNAMENTS.
Quite a reaction is taking place 10 regard
to ornaments, especially jewelry:' The bar

hoops, the dangling balls, the massive clamp

trash which the dollar stores have poured
forth. have created disgust in the, souls OF
women oi.high refinement ard cultivation.
Alta very brilliant reunion lately this sub
iect was discussed, and SOME of the most ele-
CANT women present declared theirSconFic-
ton that earrings. rings, bracelets and the
like were relics Of savagism, evidences OF q
past condition OF bondage. and instead OF
.beautifying marred the symmetry, grace and
perfection of the human form. One lady SAID a
burden had really been lifted from her shoulders
since she had made up her mind to dispense
with jeYelled ornaments; that the change OF
fashion and the necessity of arranging anu
adapting them to. new styles and different
dresses took exactly the money she wished
10 make use of in other directions, and she
felt herself not only better. and more taste
fully dressed, but relieved rom a PosiIlTe
that she had lopg ago disposed OF sall
her gold and mixed jewelry.: and in
vested the proceeds in a diamond cross ana
earrings, which she wore Gu. full. dress occa-
sions. Ordinarily she.Tore no JeWeirE,; III
fact, she thought the present style OF oress
hardly Admitted Of it, which is true. "A third
objected 10 earrings upon any occasion or OF
any kind, and Thought rlngs.in the nose were
lust as necessary and would look just as well.

kindly to the profusion and variety OF opna-

denee sufficient of want OF good breeding and
thorough culture.
SUMMER BQNNETS.
The pretty gypsles of English and Italian
straw are almost universally worn, and al
most as universally becoming. The only FAULT
is that they are roo much trimmed. Lace,
ribbon, flowers, feathers, IRE nh piled on enc
small foundation, and the result Is that the
Shape is lost in aconfused mass OF decoration
and draPe'y.
Bonnets worn By elegant mairons are a
of chip, orhamented with black lace and tea
roses, or With Frou-Fron gros grain ribbon,
white lace, and a soft white ostrich plume, In.
the heart OF which nestles a satin passion
flower, the color-of the ribbon, shaded with
brown. But The pretiest hats tor young girls
retain something Of the toque shape, in English
straw, and are simply trimmed with q binding
of blue veIvet, a scarf Of blue gauze de chine,
fastened with a pearl horseshoe and q spray
Of English hedge roses.
There are three distinct styles Of the new
brlmned Leghorn hats, one OF when mas
a high crown, another a low erown, while the
third reprOduces the large, old.fashioned En-
glish gypsy bonnet. Quite a number have al
ready been seen upon Broadway, out they are
better adapted 10 the morning. attire. Of q lacy
in the country than the sober and somewhat
conventual character oil q city street toilette.
PRETTY PARAsnLs.
New summer ~paraso!s display great variety
and some novelty. Very pretty silk ones are
lined vita white or colors, and have small
scent bottles with a perforated gilt top fitted
in the handle. In addition 10 this, is"a ring
with a chain attached for holding the handker-
chief. Light pink, blue and other fapey:color-
cd six paiasos are covered With rufled white
muslin, which has.an odd sort Cd oversklrty ap-
pearance and deprives them oil, the possibility
OF doing anything but sun duty.
TRAVELLING SETS.
New travelling sets are made OF white linen
lawn, with pointed collar, bow, cuffs. and
handkerchief Of buff grass linen, embroidered
in black and crimson or scarlet weol. These
would be suited for the Alirendacks or Rocky
Mountains, but nowhere else.

for, and-q1ere so useful Tor negligp, are not
fashioaablS worn with colored skirts or
