The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1878-06-15

F4NCIE.S FOR THE FAIR.

CHANGEABLE silks are among the
summer fabrics.
ELEGANT parasols are made of satin
and finished with straw fringe.
PRINCES of two distinct colors are
put on some of the new costumes.
AFTERNOON dances are the latest
freak of fancy in the fashionable world.
NEW p,rasols are made of black
matalasse silk and lined with white silk.
OLD-FAsHIoN yoke waists are again
in favor for dresses warranted to wash.
WHITE illusion wells dotted with Ro-
man pearls are novelty for dress
bonnets.
SANDALS with colored heels and straps
are worn with embroidered hosiery in
the house.
BoNNETs are smaller and not as tow
ering as they have been for several sea-
sons past.
LADIES riding habits are composed of
three separate garments-basque, skirt,
and trousers.
In Arizona there are four men to one
woman. Servant girls get twenty-five
dollars and upward a month, and there
is an increasing demand for them.
THE fact came out in trial at San
Francisco the other day that woman
had carried $50, 400 in greenbacks con-
cealed in the intricacies of her hustle
for nearly six months.
A GOOD book and good woman are
excellent things for those who know how
justly to appreciate their value. There
are men, however, who judge of both
from the beauty of the covering.
A CAMDEN woman was prevented
from attending the funeral of her sister
by the non-arrival in time of lace
handkerchief from New York. The
brutality of the railway company is
severely commented on by the neigh
bors.
WHEN man attempts to open a
bureau-drawer by pulling on the key,
he generally hauls the key out of the
keyhole nine times in succession, and
the tenth time drags the whole drawer
out upon the floor. A woman never
makes mistake of this kind.
THERE are lots of curious folks in this
world. They encourage a young lady
to devote three or four years to music
" because she may have to teach it some
day." but neglect to encourage her to
learn anything of homework, never
dreaming that she may be wife some
day.
A WISE book reviewer thus airs his
views: "Whenev, you see in story
such an expression as vow will, or
vow WON'T you may know woman
wrote it," Yes, the rule is infallible.
And the fact is quite remarkable, too,
that when you find in story mild
oath or two, you may know that a wo-
man didn't write it,
The fashion of making all rich dresses
very simple is fast becoming popular.
The plain petticoat front, the reverse
sides, and flowing back represent the
artistic Herr Deux dresses described at
the beginning of the season. Now that
short skirts are so generally adopted,
ira ned dresses are made merely with
reference to house wear, and the richest
laces are used for garniture.
BALL dresses for young ladies are
very generally made of tarlatan or or
CANDY, in white, blue, and rose color
these are, however, only of comparative
simplicity, for they are covered with
futed trimmings, fisses, ruches, pinked-
out quillings, c.. the bodice is made
with basques, slanted off at the sid, s, or
with points, and laced at the back.
Young girls do not wear their dresses
too low.
WRAPPERS for brides are of gay plaid
camePs hair, made with plastron front
of silk, and trimmed with the thick
white Spanish lace that is now made OF
thread in blonde patterns. Pink and
b ue together make a pretty plaid, with
pink silk for the pastron, on which is a
blue watered ribbon. Deep collars and
cuffs of pink silk shirred in fine close
rows and edged with lace trim this
handsomely.
GOLD is again fashionable as trim
ming, both on dresses and on bonnes.
1t is handsome when used with taste and
extreme moderation, but it is vulgar
when lavished, and when the surround
ings are not in harmony with it. Gold
fringes, aiguillettes and braid, Gathers
tipped with gold and gold leaves, are
charming on rich evening dress, to be
worn in large, magnificent ballroom ;
but on ordinary occasions the abuse of
gold as trimming is pretentious and
ridiculous.
HE AND SHE.
I'll be at the window as he gees by
As he goes by
He'll lift his hi ad to look at the sky,
The Western sky,
To see If the sun has set for fair
And suddenly there
Against the sky in the golden air
He'll see pair
OF fam liar eyes; and shall see
As he l0oks at me
sudden smile and nod, may be;
All tbis In three
Or perhaps in four swift moments--then,
All then,
In another moment the world of men
For him, when
The street is turned, different face
To take my p ace,
While by my window here retracs
Each line Of the face
Which smiled at me, as it passed by
With glance Of the eye
That swept me in with the Western sky,
The sun et sky.
Tomorrow shall be at the window when
