FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Kid Gloves.

Ruby gloves are the novelty brought
into vogue by the introduction Of gay
colors in street costumes. These are
dark shades deeper than wine or garnet
colors, and not the glaring red tints that
would shock fastidious tastes. They
look especially we'll with black costumes,
butwill be worn with almost any cos
tune that is trimmed with broche cash
meres of Oriental cOlors and design.
New gray gloves are blue tinted, and
also of damask and red plum shades; all
shades of slate are shown, from pale blue
gray to the darkest, and there are new
shades known as invisible brown that
are really gray. Seal brown is perfectly
represented, and there are many light
brown shades with much yellow in
them; and these are made still lighter
until they approach the stylish old gold
tints. OF the later there are most var
led shades, box after box being filled
with them. Bronze and olive gloves
are largely imported, and there is real
sea green. which is the green of the
ocean when tinged with blue. Medium
and dark shades of gloves are more styl-
Fshly worn than they have been for many
SEASONS. Black gloves have come to be
considered quite dressy when worn with
toilette 90 of medium colors, though not
with black dresses. Wood colors are
dmirod in ali the light shades of
ash, oak, maple and box. The greatest
demand is for plain simple stitched and
bound gloves with wrists long enough
to be fastened by three OF four buttons.
Those with six buttons are reserved for
more dressy wear, as when used with
close coat sleeves they rumple the cuffs
in being buttoned, and are really con-
cealed. Black gloves fastened by eight
buttons are, however, especially stylish
to wear with light suits. and sometimes
for dress occasions. Pure white gloves
are seldom sold except for weddings i;
cream white and pinkish-white are used
instead. Mauve, lavender and lilac
gloves are being revived for evening use,
while for visiting and carriage toilettes
the salmon and beige shades will still re-
main in favor. The stylish plain glove
of dressed kid. fastened by three buttons,
costs $l.90, and by four buttons, So. 90.
The number of buttons increases to
twelve, and the price to s. a pair.
Misses kid gloves are shown in the new
colors, fastened by from two to six but
tons; they cost from 81 to So so. Un-
dressed kid gloves are more popular than
they have ever been. and for many occa-
sions are equally as fashionable rs the
more expensive Dire ssed kid. Those with
light drab and pretty shades are prefer
red to wear with costumes of any color,
while very dark colors, especially brown,
are chosen for service. They are shown
with from two to six buttons, and cost
from 81 to 50. Ladies in mourning pre-
fer the undressed black kid gloves to all
others. For winter use, and riding or
driving. the castor gloves are shown in
white and in colors. Two qualities of
these gloves are imported, and when
fastened by two, three or four buttons,
they cost from $3.50 to $3.50 pair

A Fatal Balloon Trip.

The San Francisco Alta has the fol-
lowing account of the balloon accident
by which Charles III. Williams. director
of amusements at Woodward's Gardens,
and Prof. S. w. Colgrove, an aeronaut,
lost their lives: The ascent was an
nounced to take place at Woodward S
Gard at 3:45 p. n, and promptly at
that time the professor appeared on the
scene, accompanied by Mr.. Williams.
The large amphitheater was filled with
an expectant crowd. When all the pre-
parations were made, the professor gave
word to shut off the gas, which was 81
lowed, SO the gas-man states, to pour
into the balloon several seconds after
the order, SO that there can be no doubt
of the balloon having been fully inflated.
At the time q brisk gale was blowing
from the northwest, and many fears
were expressed that it would be danger
Gus to attempt the ascension. Nothing
dauL ted, however, the professor and
Mr.. Williams stepped into the basket,
and word WAS given to cut the ropes.
The command was obeyed, and the
monster balloon shot upward distance
of perhaps two hundred feet, where it
was caught bya swiftly-moying current
and deprf ssed with great velocity in a
southeasterly direction toward the bay
A burst of horror arose from the audi
ence, who could see the imminent
danger in which the balloonists were
placed. Their fears were not without
cause, for in crossing Howard street,
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, the
half-inch ropes which extend from the
hoop" to the basket (of which there
are eight came in contact with teie-
graph wire. saving five or six of them
in two, quite near the basket. AS the
balloon kept on, it seemed to those that
saw it that the basket hung from the
balloon for q few seconds by single
rope, and as it did so. just over Folsom
street, Williams fell to the ground, a
distance of perhaps fifty feet, striking on
his face on the curbstone, and killing
him almost instantly. The balloon,
lightened, shot upward few feet, when
the remaining ropes which held the
basket parted, and it dropped to the
ground with the professor in it, the con-
cussion throwing him into the street in
81 dying condition. He landed about
fifteen feet from where Williams body
lay, and was picked up insensible and
taken to his residence, No. 1913 First
avenue, where he died at about S 80
p NJ. After the fall of Colgrove, Mr.
Babcock approached and spoke to him.
He seemed to recognize the others
voice, and said, Cut loose, and get me
out of this" Otherwise his condition
was that of Inconsistencies. 1t has
been commented on, almost superstiti-
ously, that Colgrave's landing, on the
trip preceding the one which resulted SO
fatally, was in graveyard.
