London Truth: "Princess Beatrice has
| Just had very pretty dress made for her
| The material is soft, fawn colored rieuna
cloth, trimmed with striped MORE and new

match. AS this dress was made with habit
bodice we may infer the continued popu-
larity of this FORM"
"Pansy mull' is the appropriate name OF
very effective fabric; it is the softest and
finest of India null, with immense pansies
printed on it, and is used for fchus, wide
plaitipgs for the throat, and for little girls
gowns, which are lace trimmed, and are

One of the most accomplished of steno-
graphic reporters is Miss Abbie Pulsifer 4
daughter of Major s. D. Pulsifer, of Auburn,
Me-, who has brought up a family Of steno-
graphers and who il the veteran of the pro

A Washington girl, Gertrude Nelson, won
a prize of five dollars by writing the best
letter accepting an offer OF marriage. That
is all right, Gertrude, but let us tell you and
any other girl that when a man is afraid to
come to the house and ask for you right 10
your face, but sneaks off behind the post
Office and asks you at long range with
three cent declaration of his love, the best
answer you can make to him is 'No," in FIVE

Later bonnets, for summer wear, will be
entirely formed of laces, or those of straw
will be completely hidden beneath exquisite
yelling. Spanish lsc-s will be largely used,
but the delicate new laces will bs in still
greater favor, such as the moresque, the ORR
entail, the Languedoc, Mschlin, and other
textiles. Very few feathers will be used on
these honnsts, but q lwers in great profusion
will garnish them, with loops and knots of
narrow ribbon; they may be further trimmed
with opalesceni, irridescent or pearl beads.
A great deal of decorative color is now
fashionable for bed-coverings. Silk covers
OF embroidery or Of rich damasks are used
over the entire bed. Ii white spread is pre-
ferred, it is frightened by scarf drapery Of
rich, dark brocade, thSt is thrown carelessly
across the foot Of the bed The Japanese
threads in tai esuy de+igus, are especially
handsome. Antique laces, combined with
white muslin, are used over colored silk lin
ings Tor bed-spreads, with pillows spreads to
match. 4 border of red plush, upon which
the lace edge falls, is pretty finish; when
not lined, these lace spreads are used over
down coDforts bles that are covered with
rose, blue or red silk.
London Truth: cashmere shawls are still
cut up into poionaises to be worn over vel
vet skirt, either black, brown or some dark
color which harmonizes with that of the
cashmere. English women have never yet
been able to drare themselves gracefully in
sh avis. 4 French woman seems TO accom-
plish the feat without effort and by the ex-
ercise of 4 kind of instinct. 1t is somewhere
about the shoulders that an English woman
goes wrong, but were il possible TO define the
exact point OF her failure it would he n sim
pie m after TO apply the remedy. Her Ssh
mere shawl being, therefore, an unsatisfac-
Tory and unavailable garment, in which she
looks the merest bundle, she is quite right to
put it up into a dress or mantle. The texture
IS always delightful, and the amount OF wear
70 be extracted from these Indian cashmeres
q something fabulous"
