The house was filed with fashion and
respectability, chosen singers chanted
the sweetest music. and outside, i'll the
crowd each man hugged himself that he
was not as the rich one who lay within.
''Ah," said an old Irishwoman looking
on, perhaps we'll have as good cof-
fin ourselves when the time comes, not
so grand maybe, but it'll answer the
purpose. He'll mowld as soon as any
of US there" Thousands of employees
escorted the hearse, sallow-faced clerks
and burly porteTs, four abreast, but
there was not room for them in the
church, and without doubt they were
glad to be in the sun, enjoying their I'M
accustomed holiday. The retail store

art died, the only time except on legal
holidays, it is said since it was built
1t is also said the other dry goods firms
have not enjoyed such a run for years as
in the two days that Stewards has been

apparent for the man, but his loss seems
more like a business change than any
thing else.
GOOD FUNERAL.
On the same day that Stewart was
buried, another funeral took place,
whose chief object seemed to be to outdo
the display of the millionaire, only as it
was arranged according to the wishes Of
the deceased, it was probably intended
only to show that she could have as fine
a show as any body. The dead woman
was fifty years old, daughter of a milk
man who drove his own cart, unless his
wife relieved him in that duty, and the
widow of rich man, who made his
money in ice and real estate speculations
long ago. By her wish the corpse was
in her. wedding dress with red and white
roses, laid in her coffin rich with black
and violet velvet, fringed and tasseled
with bullion and lined with quilted
white satin. The coffin lay in a parlor,
backed by tall monuments of flowers,
which looked as if the ornamental sculp-
ture of a stone-cutter's yard had been
transported there. The hearse was
drawn by six black horses, with gilded
trappings, next came six carriages with
four horses each, seventy more followed,
half of them empty, and large wagon
carried the flowers to the grave. Pride
could no further go.
THE FASHIONS.
The finish and yet simplicity of the
new styles is admirable. A fashionable
polonaise is cut with only one dart, and
the back has few seams, but it is mar
velously fitted by cores under the arms,
so that it defines the figure with the ele-
gance of a tight garment with all the
ease of three quarter fitting one
This is the style above all Others for
Summer travelling. A specimen in drab
clotn tor Spring has large pocket, ike
a courier's bag, slung with quilted
strap of cloth over the right shoulder, a
most convenient notion for carrying the
dozen indispensable things a woman
wants in travelling. A new hat that
goes well with this and promises to be
in favor, is the small shepherdess shape
bent over the forehead and curled slight
ly above the ears, of rough straw, to be
trimmed with black velvet and field
flowers of one color under the brim.-
This is a veritable shade hat, and yet
modest enough in size for town wear
Shirred overskirts have nearly disap-
peared. The new ones are very long,
all round, drawn in slight folds, instead
of heavy pleats, and have comparative
ly little trimming pIETKO
