WHAT WILL BE THE FASHION NEXT
SUMMER?

lfcrney's Progress
Last summer there was much startling
novelty about the bathing dresses OF the
young ladies at the seaside resorts. They
wore no more the weighty, baggy cos
tunes which used to transform our
~womankind into ugly. unrecognizable
objects. The ladies seemed to like the
attire, and it is certain it the gentlemen
objected it to by word, they took care Q
be on the beach at the bathing hour.
| With the new dresses came a great trol-
icsomeness of spirits, and it was no un-
common trick tor a bright society belle
to turn somersaults from the shoulders
of a gentlemea into the sea. How will
1t be this summer? Has Mother Grundy
improved the opportunity the winter af-
lorded, and talked the lasses back to
heavy. thick and thoroughly enveloplng
flannel? l think not. The bold expert
ment the past summer was too success
full tor that.

THE GRANT FEVER.

The Grant fever in the country among
republicans is perceptibly declining. Il
never had any basis except a tactious en-
thusiasm which has been unable to over.
bear the solid repugnance Of the best
republicans. not only to a third term,
but to Grantism in civic administration.
As the republicans must have a united
party to succeed, Grant is out OF the
question. There are plenty Of other
stronger candidates., and they will
