LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.

Ball fringe continues in favor.
White fans are used for full dress.
This is the sloppy ere for ladies'
dresses.
Summer shoes and walking boots
have square box-toes.
The wash woman costume is much
worn at the seaside.
Fancy and extravaganza will run
riot this fall in buttons.
Button-hole boquets made of wax
flowers are much worn.
Bunting dresses shake off the dust
and will endure hard usage.
A profusion Of ribbons are seen
everywhere as trimmings.
Excess of fancy now runs to trim
ming the skirts of chemises.
Ladies' in mourning wear black
lace, mitts with cuff of Grape.
The latest novelty in the shape of
artificial flowers is sunfower.
Ladies linen hankerchiefs have
pen and-ink sketckes on the corners.
Wide belts, embroidered in gray
colors, are now decidedly fashionable.
Almond color is the latest. 1t Is
seen in kid gloves, ribbons, straw for
bonnets, and in silk for wear.
A favorite pastime for ladies now
is crocheting silk purses; the silk
and clasp being purchased at moder'
ate price. a
"Governessse should never be re-
ouired to do low mental work." said
4 gentleman. s"Ccrtainly not. but
they frequently aspire to the hyme-
piai," replied the lady.
There are many things which dis
concerns the average young lady,
and one Of them is while reading an
intensity interesting novel, to dis
cover that in the most exciting part
there is a chapter torn out.
A woman applied the other night
to the officer in charge of a police
station in Baltimore for the loan OF
q revolver, saying she wanted to pro-
tect herself from some young men
who were insulting her. She was
refused.
About lively as picture of misery
as there is in existence is the face
of man who sits at the foot of
long table when dish of the first
green corn of the season is being
passed down the table.
Said an orator at the Woman's
Rights Congress at Paris: ave were
born naked, and yet society makes
Us cover ourselves with clothes, to
earn which we have to work and la
Dor. Such anomalies as these will
rapidly disappear when our rights
are conceded"
Every now and then some chap
writes to a newspaper for a receipt
to prevent hair from coming out. If
men would 60 home from the lodge
before midnight, with their legs So
Der, their hair wouldn't come out so
rapidly. We always 60 home early,
and we have more hair now than the
day We were born.
What a perfect idea of impecuDi-
osity is given in the remark made
last week by one Responding Hiber-
man to another. "Falth," says one,
~ haven't more than ten. cents in
nv pocket" "Be jabers," retorted
the other, "you are better of than I
am, then. I've nothing in my pock-
ct, and very little of that, ayther."
When shoemakers throw aside
their hammers and cease work, they
are said to strike. When they pick
up their tools and bang away indus
triously on leather, they are repre-
sented az having dcne with striking.
When they strike, they don't strike,
and when they don't strike, they
strike. No wonder the labor ques-
ton bewilders all the astute states
men ia the land.
The last thing out in fashionable
frivolities is the language OF the hair.
A certain arrangement of the cheve-
lure means one thing, and a differ
ent arrangement another thing; SO
that by these means "a message may
be conveyed to a favored one across
q crowded ballroom without word
being uttered. By the favored one
ia meant, Of course tho fair ones

is herself significantly hirsute, she is
also encouraging his suit. But 1t
