The young man drank to excess, became

then distinctly heard:

The gentleman listening certainly
thought some one was being murdered.
He proceeded cautiously into the barn,

Fashion FancieS,

Brccaded cloths in light limits are used
5or more dress! garments Of the dolman
shape Some pretty garments of this
kind are made with one or three seams
shaping the back square, broad, sleeve
like wings, and a slender scarf front.
Feathery passementeries, crimped fringes
and anticipated laces trim these wraps.
as we'll as the pretty little fschus of silk
and grenadine, which will be VOTE as
last year to match the summer dresses.
Although great many of the skirts of
short dresses are made with the overskirt
drapery sewed on, ye some of the stvlish
dressmakers say they shall continue to
make the long, plain overskirt distinct
from the underskirt as we'll. The vel
vet-founced skirt will also be made as
last year, because it is particularly pretty,
with vest, collar and cuffs as we'll.
There is new hat out for little boys
called the Turks cap 1t resembles
the fez, and has a round tassel orna-
mented On top; it comes in mixed straw
ready trimmed. In the English straws
for children there are delicate tints of
sapphire blue instead of the dark navy
blue SO much worn last year.
The new spring balmorals are shown
IN black al paca, also plain and striped
mohalrs in various shades Of gray. They
are trimmed with plaitings, bias bands
and dashes Of color with red or blue pip
ings. Tasteful white skirts have f1ounces
OF embroidery, edged with lace, or Ital-
ian Valenciennes.
Plain rows of stitching is a favorite
I'd o$s1 G.:
Sometimes the bottom Of the skirt is IN
trimmed and simply stitched, but this is
not becoming to any but the most petite
figures, to which naturally belong small
feet. and do not need the distractins in
iuence of curves and broken lines.
There is new color this season called
"electric light" it is neither blue, nor
lavender, nor gray, nor silver, but it
seems to assume each of these tones in
different lights, but on the whole it is not
very pretty, nor will it be any more pop
ular with the ladies than the electric
light itself.
The vest is the distinguish ing feature
of the stylish costume. for the reason that
it AFFORDS excellent means of introducing
bright and contrast1vc effects. Some
hand in brilliant colors, are shown tor
vests and revers.
Decanters are now elsbora tely incased
in gilt silver. The glasses and goblets
| correspond. A new card tray immitates
dead white sheeting, and on this are
incrusted gold enamel birds on a spray
of apple blossom.
The new salts bottle is a tube of crystal
with large lapls On the top. 1t opens
