wOMEN'S WAYS.
Jennie June--A Dying GirI--Fashioa- OF
the Hour.
JENNIE JUNE.
A couple of years ago, more or less,
says Jennie June, one of the women
journalists of New kork had, not n for
tune, but moderate sum awarded her
from the estate of her father, which she
determined 10 devote to q good long
trip abroad-a trip TO include the Holy
Land and everything else worth seeing.
She went, she saw, she corresponded,
enjoyed rowing existence, and, finally,
being woman, she found the world
contained for her nothing of halfso much
interest as lace. From that time she
pursued lace. She hunted for il in its
remotcst haunts; she visited its great
manufactures; she made acquaintance
with its workers in cottages and By the
roadside; she collected specimens of
every known species, and preserved
them rs naturalist does caterpillars or

not know about lace is not worth know
ing, and, having come home, her money

intends to earn some more, in the inter
walls of her working journalists life, by
giving an illustrated talk about lace, a
sort of object lesson, indeed, as she will
make her exhibition ofspecimens part
of this novel, interesting and instructive
form of afternoon entertainment.
SOME SINS DO DEAR THEIR rRIvuEGr."
When the poor girl was dying fast
his was Il kind heart who said "Mollie,
you are getting well, | knew it," He
knew that he was deceiying her, but why
say, when she looked with imploring
eyes at him, "you are bound to die"
when it would have been thrust into
the sinking heart. The lie gave her
comfort, and in the memories of those
present who heard it will be song echo
ing down the dusty way of life, for the
woman smiled when il was uttered.
Clinging, as consumptives do, to hope,
she believed she was better, and so she
was, for the end was very near, and the
ministers of death were whispering at
the door. And she is better now as she
lies with crossed hands and her beautiful
eyes closed forever.-lSdn Iptopio Her.

FASHION OF THE HOUR.
\ PRETTY wrap, called the milkmaids
mantle, has been introduced in Paris. 1t
is copied faithfully from the cloaks worn
by Breton milkmaids. II is somewhat
large, made of white woolcn waterproof,
and lined with poppy red flannel 1t
has a square hood, also lined with red,
and is bordcred with black velvet The
mixture of red white and black is char
acteristic and the mantle will he popular
for an early morning and damp even
ing.
THE winter bonnet is decidedly larger
than the early autumn exhibits suggest
ed, and it has a protrnding border line
with gathered velvet or satin, but with
no ornament inside. 1t requires the
hair to bc worn low over the forehead,
either crimped or fringcd. The outside
trimming is large satin bows, feathers or
colored velvet flowers, with great deal
Of foliage.
Calicoes this season are exceedingly
pretty. The groundings are dark nut
brown, navy blue, olive and moss shades,
upon which polka dots, plaids and fori-
ated patterns appear in great varieties.
4 border for trimming comes in nearly
all the yard wide goods, and is placed ai
| the top and bottom Of the flounces, and
upon the cuffs, collars and pocket flaps.
BLACK kidsare admissible everywhere
even in full dress for the opera they
are considered stylish. Giants de Suede
are worn in full dress when very long.
The most stylish glove for evening wear
is corn color. In Paris it is the most
popular. and is worn TO the exclusion of
white.
STARTLING effects are noted in dress
materials that are known as novelties.
They are in every variety of color, and
in and through them all run threads OF
gold Egyptian designs, palm leaves, dots
and dashcs; in short, every conceivable
variation of design.
pLAITINGs of various Kinds remain in
favor for the general garniture of dress
skirts, and mixtures Of piece trimmings
are used in order to produce novelty
and variety. These always match what
ever is used upon the upper portion Of
the toilet.
CoAr basqucs made of light weight
goods, such as basket, camefs hair and
ladies' cloths in seal browns, navy blues
and dark grays, are decided feature OF
the fall stylet. They are made exactly
like gcntlemen's coats, both in tit and
finish.
THE rage for shirring, which seems to
be on the increase, has extended TO
princess dresses, and even the hounces
are shirrcd at intervals in perpendicular
clusters of two or three gauging threads,
throwing the intervening sections into
pufls.
THE throat is dressed high, and close
as possible. Ruches of white lisse are
placed inside ruches made of real lace.
Linen collars are fastened as high as
may be, and underneath a soft silk neck
tie is worn. fastened in front in bow
knot
WALKING garments are mostly made
with the Jacket bodice; some have a
double skirt, others have single one
trimmed en- to6iier in front and draped
behind very slightly.
WALKING costumes are extremely
simple and masculine in shape, and very
unlike the dresses for receptions and
soirees, which are complicated in the
highest degree.
Fur trimmed garments will be more
used this year than they have ever been
before. Boas are displaced by fur (which
is placed about the nccks and cuffs of
garments.
