TiSsH de neiQe, a new Summer fabric
Of white, cream color or ecru, is trimmed
with Smyrna or cashmere lace; but if
Of other colors, with silk fringes.
The fashion has been adopted in
Paris, by ladies who attend the races,
or go anywhere in their own carriages,
carrying sun umbrellas of red nloire
silk.
Closely drawn back dresses are fur
nished with elastic braid, which is fast
ened across the back breadths of the
skirt at different intervals the entire
length.
Exceedingly nobby" looking hats,
having their crowns high and pointed,
and the brims wide, are worn a little on
one side, or far on the back of the
head.
Lace scarfs, tied close around the
neck, inside the collar, are a great deal
worn in door and out of doors. The
real lace is preferred, and these scarfs
cost from 81 to $40. They consist of a
piece of insertion and wide lace edging,
and can be easily made at home.
The fashion which has been followed
in other materials, is now being carried TO-
grenadine-that of making the under
skirt of the plain fabric, and the upper
part of striped or checkered grenadine.
In this arrangement the overskirt and
basque is preferred to the pOlonaiSs.
Cashmere lace goods are much used
for making into polonaises and over
dresses, to be worn with black or col
ored underskirts. 1t is generally fin
ished with cashmere lace. A combina-
ton Of this material with silk is
something little newer. For instance,
brown silk underskirt with plated
founces and polonGise of the cashmere
lace, having silk sleeves with brown silk
buttons down the back, and brown rib
bon bows to drape the front.
KEROSENE Om.-Now that kerosene
lamps are 30 extensively used, particu-
larly in the country, it is well to be
careful while using this explosive mate
rial. When lamps explode, the acci-
dent is always caused by the vapor, or
gas, that collects in the space above the
oil. When full of oil, of course a lamp
contains no gas; but Immediately on
lighting the lamp, consumption of ell
begins, soon leaving a space for gas,
which commences to form as the lamp
warns up, and, after burning q short
time, sufficient gas will accumulate to
form an explosion. The gas in lamp
will explode only when ignited; in this
respect it is like gunpowder. Now, the
wick tube in all lamp burners is larger
than the wick which is to pass through
it. It would not do to have the wick
| tightly in the burner; on the contrary,
it is essential that it should move up
and down with perfect ease. In this
way it is unavoidable that space in the
tube is left along the sides Of the wick
sufficient for the fame from the burner
to pass down into the lamp and explode
the gas. Many things may occur to
cause the fame to pass down the wick.
A lamp may be standing on table or
mantel, and slight puff of air from the
open window, or sudden opening of
door, may do it; or lamp may be taken
up too quickly, or into a draught.
Blowing down the chimney to extinguish
the light is a frequent cause of explo-
sion. Lamp explosions have also been
caused by using a chimney broken off
at the top, or one that has piece broken
out, whereby the draught is variable,
and the fame unsteady; or sometimes q
thoughtless person puts a small-sized
wick in large burner, thus leaving a
considerable space along the edges of
the wick. After all, the best precaution
is not to buy cheap kerosene, but a good
article, which thus cannot be adulterated
with dangerous benzine. 1t is cheap
