FASHION NOTES.

-Side-conbs are again worn by la
dies, old and young.
Amber beads strung at intervals on
black silk fringes are among the i'm
portstions.
-Old-fashioned steel bead sachels are
again worn as chatelaines, in rivalry of
the velvet pockets.
The most fashionable evening
dresses have the corsage opening v
shaped in front and back.
Cardinal capes, reaching to the ell
bows and cut straight around, are fash
ionable for light wraps.
Pins of frosted silver in the form of
a single plume are used to fasten black
lace around the throat.
Fall hats are of black straw trimmed
with black velvet and enEvened by au-
tumn leaves or peoples.
The novelties in ladies' handker-
chiefs are of fine cambria with colored
borders and exceedingly small.
Large buckles of pearls, like those
worn generations ago, are fashionable
for the wide belts so popular now.
The pretty and becoming Breton
dresses having gone out of fashion, the
style is used in Undertaking.
"A beautiful material of rich Orien-
tai coloring, used for trimming hats and
bonnets, is called "Nabob gauze."
The engagement-bracele is a new
idea. 1t is narrow, aat gold band,
and locks on the wrist with combina-
ton lock.
New hnen-lawn and muslin dresses
are made with yoke waists, the yoke en-
tirely covered with rows of narrow lace
laid on fat.
Among the recently imported
dresses is a black silk with pinked
founces, over which hangs a black
crepe over-dress with embroidered mar
guerites.
New curtains for sleeping
are made of unbleached muslin, faced
with Turkey-red, and looped back with
red ribbons, with very pretty effect.
Artificial flowers are now sold in
''sets" of four punches. One little
bunch is for the hair, one for the belt,
another for the throat, and still another
to hang from the chatelaine.

New ORLEANS, July l2.-Ehue! l
begin to realize that I have something
TO do with this worlds affairs. MY
nurse, Mrs. Delaney, has just stepped
out, and my glance falls on some num-
bers of the Picdyune lying on chair.
By a mighty optical effort | try to read
the telegraph headings on the corner,
bent up on the back of the chair, but
every thing becomes blurred, and l re-
Hnquish the vain attempt. The door
opens without any preliminary knock,
and an intellectual-looking young mu-
latto, arrayed in a sPotless white suit,
approaches my bedside. He has stud
led at Oberlin, is a graduate of medi-
cine in France, and an assistant to my
physician, who has large practice which
has swollen TO immense proportions dur
inc the last three months. | talk about
my illness, my prospective restoration
to complete health, my desire to write
letters, and he answers me by depre-
eating smile, and wave of his tapering
brown fingers. But insist that must
do something, and he fually consents
that | shall dictate short epistles to my
friends.

Keep Your Head Up.

Doleful and morose people can be de-
tected on the streets from their manner
of carrying the head. 1t is inclined for
ward and has disjointed, swinging
motion. The face is carried as if anx-
ious to "git thar" in advance of the
toes, looks awfully mournful, land is gen.
orally wrinkled the nasal organ has a
mournful droop, and appears as if the
blood was not allowed to run freely
down the back of their necks, which
seemingly gives the nose such an cry
sipelatOus coloring, that it is mistaken
for an indication of anti-blue ribbon IN
dulgences. Look up when on the street.
If disposed to do otherwise, force the
habit on yourself of carrying the head
| erect, the eyes exalted, and bent on
things above the sidewalks aad cutters.
There is nothing cheering to be found
in studying pavements and cobble-
stones. Glance at the tree-tops, at the
sunshine. Light on the eye always
has a tendency to cheer the mind, be-
cause the brain connects directly with
the optic nerves, and pleasing effect
on them touches the thought and en-
livens it accordingly. Besides, to carry
ones nose high is alleged by phrenolo-
gists to be an evidence of self-confdence
and independence of spirit. AS happy
as cowboy" is frequently quoted
These baref0oted urchins almost invari-
ably 90 along with their head alOft, eyes
bent on the horizon, and a notable
characteristic is their propensity for
whistling. The latter is another cheer
full habit. Whistle Justify; whistle on
all proper occasions. 1t is an exceP-
tional case of a man who can not whis-
tie, however poor his musical education
NAV be. The habit expands the lungs,
gives the mind an agreeable sensation,
and keeps one from brooding over
troubles. A lady of considerable fame
has paid whistlers eulogy 66y asserting
that she never fears man who whistles,
because evil thoughts find no room in
the heart of the one who is fond of such
pleasing exercise.-Troy Times.

The Empress of Austria is now a
grandmamma, and yet no one could,
with justice, give her more than 80 or 80
years at the outside. Her waist is still
as round and as small as when she was
young Princess, and not, as now, her
Majesty. Sometimes her face wears a
most lovely color, and, after gallop-
ing up and down two or three times
the long avenue Of the Prater, she looks
younger and prettier than ever. She
leads strange life for an Empress, and
avoids society as much as possible.
