FASHION NOTES.


From the New York Evening Po.t.l
Ombre buttons have appeared
Shaded goods are coming more and
more into vogue.
The old bishop sleeve shirred at the
wrist and upon the shoulder has been
revived.
Stirring and tiny rufIle-, row upon
row, are seen upon all parts Of the sum-
mer costumes.
Very elegant grenadine toilets are
imported, trimmed with an elaborate
embroidery Of steel bead.
Dress skirts are trimmed to simulate
over-dresses and double skirts are ia
great measure dispensed with.
New English gloves Of delicate hued
silk are almost transparent. showing
faint color Of the hand through the
glove.
Leghorn hats are covered with -hir-
ring of cream-colored Spanish lace and
trimmed with wreath af.haded roses
or pink geranium blossoms.
Few dressy evening costumes are ey-
hihited without an accompanying ut5,i-
croir muf' Of tinted satin, covered with
lace, flowers and satin ribbons.
White lace stockings are worn over
those Of tinted silk with rich evening
toilets the silk stockings must invaria-
bly, match the color Of the dress worn,
as must the satin sandals.
Rewitohing little ''tea aprons are
made Of tinted satin painted ia wreaths
of morning glories, wood moss, ferns
and sweet pea blossoms, and edhed with
gathered ruffies Of mirecourt lace.
High Spanish combs Of Rhine pebbles
and cut zteel are exceedingly effective
ia the hair, and are at present very
fashionable. These ornaments are also
formed into hands of graded sizes to be-
worn with the hair arranged in the
Grecian style.
Travelling dresses Of Summer cash
mere or serge in tiny sbepherdess check
patterns are fashionable in very dark or
neutral cOlOrs, which arc generally
frightened by some touch of crimson or
scarlet, either ia the dress trimmings or
upon the bonnet.
Very cOquettish scars are imported,
made Of Spanish gauze edged with lace,
to be thrown over the head and twisted
around the throat during Summer
evening walk or upon leaving recep-
ton or concert. Young ladies wear
delicate cOlOrs 10 match their costumes
or dress trimmings. Their elders adopt
black. 1t requires little study to ar
range these wraps gracefully.
In spite of all efforts Of hairdressers
to burden the head with false Pniis and
heavy coils Of hair, coitfares remain of a
simple and comfortable style.

From the Oshkosh (Wis) Democrat.l
4 few months ago the leading hotel of
Oshkosh, the Beekwith House, was totally
bestowed by fire. Four persons in the no

number was Mrs ). B. Paige, the wife of
wealthy lum herman and capitalist, who oc-
s,upied a suite OF rooms on one of the upper
aoors While the hotel was burning Paige
appeared on the scene, aud lust about the
same time his wife appeared at enc of the
upper windows. trAntlcally crying f0F help.
Volumes of sm0ke issued from the windows
OF her room. While the crowd was stand
ing 4ghast, utterly helpless, Mr.. Paige offer
ed $5,00G reward to anybody who would res
cue his wife's body, whether alive or dead.
Charles Ref the assistant IRE chief of the
town, rushed up the stairs al the risk of his
life al. ID soon returned with the unf0rtuca ate
woman. who was smothered before help
reached her. Paige was 50 grief-stricken that
he said nothing about the reward at the
time or since He made his arrangements
10 depart from Oshkosh, for Davenport,
Iowa, where he will ia future reside. Pre-
viOus to his departure he vas served with
summons in Two suits both of which are OF
more than ordinary interest One was an
action brought by ;. Beekwith, proprietor
OF the hotel, against Paige for a board bill
which ne refused to pay on the ground that
beckwlth had no FIRE esespes TO his room,
Whleh he proposes to make test case of to
see whether landlords can collect under these
circumstances. The other suit was by As
slstant Fire Chief Ref for the collection of
the $9,oO0 reward offered by Paige for res
-culng his wife's body. He now refuses to
pay the amount or any other sum.
