And blows TO a crusader,
Nav she live and die an old, old maid,
Just what her folly made her.

Blue cheviot linen suits for travel
ing will encase the female form.

A Washington correspondent re-
ports that Imogene, the daughter OF

A French fancy for summer par
lors is to use furniture slips of Swiss
muslin, trimmed with futed ruff1es
to match the curtains.
Plated blouse waists will be worn
again as parts of most dresses, anu
also white waists will be worn with
dark skirts.
Gray wooden suits, trimmed with
dark violets, are greatly in favor
with young ladies, especially with
blondes.
To accompany seaside suits, there
are grass-linen collars and cravats
combined, banded with white linen.
The same style appears in blue and
white cambria.
Belts will still be worn, as they
possess the merit of sustaining the
waist ami. rendering walking less
fatiguing. Cashmere belts p~rOfusely
beaded are most in vogue.
Flora Mcrlimsey has discarded
her bonnet and donned the Rabagas
for the balance of the season. She
has also her pagoda ~sunshade, her
linen suit and lyle thread gloves all
reauy IOT iustant use.
1t is the fancy to Lea flowers
wherever they can be introduced,
and the sashes Of lace pOlOnaises
are caught at the back by a knot OF
roses and dropping clematis or
lilies of the valley.
They are beading those lace scarfs
worn around the neck, for some
reason or another, and the great aim
and ambition Of each and every lady
appears to be to get the beads as
large as possible.
Overskirts have been finally merg-
ed into a simple apron front, all the
putting, looping, &c, being concen-
trated at the back In a very peculiar
style, which gives to little women
the appearance Of deformIty. Lit
tie women, however, are the last to
believe that this is the case.
Sashes made of ribbon and lace
alternately are quite the correct
thing. The new ones are of real
lace and handsome grOs grain, of
course, but the imitation affairs are
coming right along, and In a little
while these new and pretty things
will be "cOmmOn."-NeU York,

There is an unusually thin gauze
veil now in fashion among the
ladies. His white i'm color, and has
an edging of lace as a "set Off" We

ture of dumb pianos for young ladies
who wish to practise Thalbergian

house, upliftsit voice for the removal
of all protective duties on musical
instruments.
Shoes still match the dress i'm color

sides, are popular. For home wear,
high black satin, with bars across
the instep and almost to the top,
with colored silk stockings that
match the dress, are the handsomest
articles to wear.
White C and the different
shades of gray are the ~favorite
colors for summer costumes. There
are also immense quantities of
pretty half-striped lawns imported,
with chintz fern leaf-wheat-ear, or
lace-like borderings, which make

Some one says if we would show
ourselves really good to our daugh-
tiers we ''must be generous to them
i'm a truer sense than that of hang
ing trinkets on their necks." No
words could be more sensible. Nine
girls out of ten would rather have a
