Dark wine and garnet are the favor
ite colors for child ems hosiery.
Satin ribbon IL used more than gros
grain for bonnet trimmings and strings.
A novelty and luxury Is the per-
fumed glove; the odor Is made delicate
and lasting.
The style Of jewelry most In vogue
in Paris u the Etruscan. A series Of
medallions linked together with gold
chains form the necklace.
-Merinos are quite overlaid this win
ter by the handsome cashmeres which
ladies mix with almost as much silk as
cashmere for home toilets exclusively.
-Overskirts are draperies instead OF
precise designs, and when the costume
Is intended for ball the train Is de-
cidedly Insignificant, II, indeed, it exists
at all.
White silk stockings for bridal wear
are either plain, clocked or embroidered
on the side seams or instep, or have
medallions or ovals inserted in the in
step or sides of fine laces.
There is an effort TO do away with
basque bodices for young ladies, and to
revive the pointed bodices of few years
ago, also the short round Josephine
bodice, with or without very wide belt.
"A New York wedding nearly ended
in tragedy the other day. TIE bride
and bride-m stood so near register
that at different times during the cere-
mony and reception their trains lay up
on it, and the white ruii1es which trim
med them were scorched and almost
ignited.
Transparent sleeves are much worn
with dresses of thick material, and this
Is convenient fashion for those who
have black velvet or satin toilets, as q
variety can be produced BY inserting
long sleeves made either Of Breton lace
and white net, or of black brussels net
and white lace.
The newest hats for young girls in
their teens are OF felt, high crowned,
with square tops, trimme with three
rows Of inch-wide ribbon in bands
placed quite far apart around the crown.
The brims roll in Derby shape. Other
felt hats have scarf Of brown or navy
blue satin, with white polka dots.
The ribbons used for lingerie,
jabots, neckties and all similar articles
are mostly white. Long loops Of satin
ribbon are much liked. Feathers, birds
and insects are used for ladies' coifures,
and young ladies prefer ribbons. bows
and puts. The hair is still dressed
quite high on the head, and taken up in
the back, although not as tightly as it
has been. The hair is also worn twisted
and falling loosely on the neck.
The imitation diamonds made Of
Rhine pebbles are now used in Paris for
many purposes. There are not only
diamond buttons, mounted like solitaire,
or in clusters, but buckles for the shoes
and belts in all conceivable designs.
There are also fastenings for necklaces
and bracelets Of velvet, and very small
buckles to fasten the ribbon loops which
are placed down the front Of dresses
and on the lower part Of sleeves Ear
rings, crosses and ornamental pins are
also made Of these stones.

That Was about AL Dolly knew Of the
hymn, but il seemed to satisfy her per-
fectly, as she hummed it over and over
again. She had picked it up some
where in the street or in the school
yard, for to church Dolly had never
been in all her heather life. Her school
days, too, were few and far between,
and ct the age Of 10 her education was
considered completed BY the indwellers
Of Rabbit Alley, where Dolly's blue eyes
first opened on the light Of . trouble

weeks after she was born, and her
father year later. Brother or sister
Dolly had none; but she had sturdy
heart (warm and tender, a. strong
hearts usually Are), and . quick, busy
brain under her thick ragged hair,
which nature had meant to be fine and
golden as the flosC II corn. For nature

ginning sent her into the world .

that belong to babyhood; but the years,
rough handed and heavy-footed, had
jostled and trampled the child until
there was little left Of her beauty save
the tender blue Of her eyes and . Ger
tain frank smile that would have made
homelier face than Dolly's very good
to look upon. All her little life 50 far

the neighbors IN Rabbit Alley, first with

Polly who has drunken husband and

Two babes in the woods have been
succored by an Empress and Marquis.
One cold day last December they knock
ed at the door Of the Spanish Consulate
in London. Their name was Nune5;
one was boy Of fifteen, the other girl
Of seven; and they had baby brother.
Their father had died, and while they
were living in Tunis they had lost their
mother. They had been told that they
had an uncle in monastery near Lei
cester in England, and they set out from
Africa TO find him. From Tunis they
went to Malta and thence to Marseillss
and Paris, where their money gave out.
They were alone in Parasitic lad, his
sister, and the baby. The little one
was sick, and although they received
assistance from some Ursuline Nuns he
faded, and dropped and died. With sd
hearts but buoyant spirits the two CHI
dren went on their way to find Their
uncle. They walked from Paris 70 O.
lais, begging their bread, and some kind
soul paid their way across the Straits 70
Dover. They pawned what jewelry they
had and what clothing they could spare,
and managed to reach Charing Cross,
London. They had no money; they were
hungry. They saw some Italian girls
playing an organ in the street, and ask.
ed them to tell them whsre they could
sleep. The street musicians took them
to their garnet, and the next morning
the wanderers found their way 70 the
Italian Consul General He gave them
the money they required for their jour..
ney to Leicester, stristly requiring o.
them that, upon their arrival. their un-
Gle should write and acquaint him OF the
fact. Several days elapsed, and, as no
news had been recsived, the Consul
General himself addressed letter 10 the
chief Of the religious institution. who
replied that the children had arrived
but that no relative Of theirs was known
In the establishment. What had taker

Our Wheeling singers who went to
Parkersburg 10 sing at the concert gwen
for the benefit of the Episcopal Church,
evidently pleased those who heard
them, as witness the following from the
Stat Journal of last week:
THE WHEELING QUARTETTE.-A rare
musical treat was afforded our citizens
on the occasion of the concert given by
the Wheeling Quartette in Rose hall on
the evening OF the Dist inst. The Quar-
tette. assisted by Prof. Kilmeyer, kindly
rendered their services in aid OF Trinity
Church, and the large and fashionable
audience that assembled expected much
of a musical feast, and received more
than their greatest expectations antici-
mated, as their hearty applause OF each
and every effort of our Wheeling friends
testified. Ii would be impossible
10 draw any distinctions as to merit,
so well did each one sustain his or her
partial the performers were heartily
and Justify encored during the evening,
and the Kindness and readiness with
which they responded was greatly APP
preciated, as the programme in itself
was great tax upon their energies and
talents. The concert was opened by
the quartette with List! the Evening
Breeze" which Immediately won the
sympathy and approval OF the audience,
which was sustained throughout the
entire evening. Mrs. Geo. b. Caldwell,
i'm the solo "Iong Live the Moments OF
Pleasure" displayed a strong yet sweet
and well cultured voice, together with a
winning and magnetic expression OF
countenance that fairly brought down the
house. Miss Rose McNaughton in the
solo Judith" rendered it with excellent
effect, and her fine COntraltO voice was
spoken OF in the highest TENS OF COM
mendation. Mr.. Lucas, tho tenor of the
Ouartette, was warmly received and APP
preCiated, and in response to an encore
rendered a selection from Ii. VI. ;. Pin
aiore. which never well, hardly ever
fails TO please. Mr. Seeley's fine bass
voice, with its rich, deep tone was sim
ply grand, and after an encore, and by
special request, he sang only Mary
Ann which was immense. Prof hll-
mever's playing was all that could be
desired and won many encomiums Of
praise. The concert closed with the
Laughing Trio, by Mrs. Caldwell and
Messrs. Lucas and Seelev, and with a
universal expression OF thanks TO the
ladies and gentlemen for their kindness,
we hope that ere long they may
favor us again.

There are number of young men in
this city, Young men who pretend to a
great deal of blue blood and gentle
breeding, who practice a certain habit
that fills the soul of the average Young
lady. who has to do her own shopping
and is as modest as a daisy, with torture.
They mean well, these young men do,
and it Is simple thOUghtlessneSS. When
a lady passes certain stores in this
neighborhoOd, she is compelled TO run
the gauntlet Of score OF staring, curious
ewes, owned 10y these identical young
men who iuicst certain localities and
have not the grace to refrain from peer
iug and even lcering at the aforesaid
modest maids. OF course their eyes are
their own and they may look if they
will. hut they under estimate the power
of these seli-samc optics and subject
