FOR WOMEN.

Andrews, Ind, has a brass band
composed of ID young ladies.
A letter from Hamburg, where the
Prince Of Wales, King and Queen OF
Greece, and other notables are staying,
says: An American young lady, Miss
Chamberlain, of Cleveland, a beautiful
girl, is in favor with the Prince of
Wales. He promenades with her every
day, and she often dimes at the Kur-
haus with him and other ladies.
A Bradford lady's husband was de-
tanned late n night at his business in
Haverhill and could o join a whist
party to which he had been invited.
"Why didn't Charlie Gomez" asked the
host. Because y answered his wife,
"he had to stay at the store-Iafter a
vain search for the word she wantedI-
teetering his accounts" "Balancing''
was the word she wanted.
The patchwork upon which our
grandmothers exercised so much ingen-
uity is the subject of a revival, or, we
ought rather to say, Of o new departure.
This novel patchwork is made by cut
ting foundation squares Of muslin, all
the same size, and arranging upon them
odds and ends of silk or ribbon, plush
or velvet, in any way the maker pleas
Is, basting them in position and then
joining them together with feather
stitch in gold-colored flesolle. The
squares when completed are Joined to-
gether in the same way, and the result
is a harmonious confusion of colors
which has quite an Eastern effect.
The costliest pair of shoes | have ev-
er seen covered the pedal extremities of
a New York lady. They cost 500
The same lady wore a pair of stockings
which cost 500. They were made of
black silk, and midway between the
ankle and the knee was a green tree
embroidered in silk, and resting upon
the branches Of the tree were bright
plumed birds, some in the act of flying.
On the ''bulge'' or largest part of the
stocking was n huntsman, clad in red
shirt and trousers, taking aim at the
birds in the tree. Upon the instep was
the monogram of the lady wrought in
gold letters. Between the knee and
the upper part of the stocking were
eighteen narrow bands of varying hues.

STYLES.

Shrimp pink, strawberry red and
electric blue velvet bows are worn at
the neck with linen collars.
To be very fashionable fall window
curtains must be of the new Madras or
Cabullace, and the hired girl must never
be instructed to pull down the shades''
unless it is positively and absolutely
necessary.
The English walking coats of hun
ters' green, admiral blue, mastic or am
~ber-colored cloth, fastened with silk
cords, and barndebourgs or frogs, are
more than eve the fashion this season.
These c~hic-looking coats are infinitely
more becoming to graceful figures than
a cape, dolman, or short visite, setting
off the form to good advantage.
Handkerchief pouches and bags con-
tinue in fashion. They add very much
to the finish of a toilet designed for
any occasion. Stylish modistes now
send home their most expensive cos
TUNES with a pouch accompanying the
the dress, made en- suite with the toilet.
Tides, those misnamed articles of
drawing room adornment, are to be
abolished in their stead small squares
of lace or muslin, or even of darker
material, are fitted into the backs of
chairs and securely fastened into posi-
ton.

sTULTILoQUENCE

"To a thoughtful voter the possession
of large private interests would seem to
be an Objectionable feature in the can,
didacy of any man for tho position of
delegate to congress. 1t is but natural
for persons to give their own affairs the
preference, and public matters n secon-
Diary consideration, and when the clash
comes the peoples interest would be
very apt to be neglected. Sun, OF
Thursday.
True, he (Mr. Meldrum) is not pos
sessed of large personal interests and

Upon taking his seat in congress, Mr..

forming the duties of a delegate. -
Sun, Of Friday.
When did the Sun adopt these views?
Two weeks ago it was enthusiastically
supporting for delegate F. E. Warren,
one of the busiest and richest men in
Wyoming, and these were some of its
reasons:
For fourteen years has Hon. f. e.
Warren been identified with the more
important interests of the territory. En-
gagged in a number of pursuits, embrac-
ing within their identification portions
OF the territory at the extreme westerly
and northerly and easterly limits, he
perhaps has had and still has unequaled
opportunities of becoming thoroughly
conversant with all the wants of the ter
ritory. = = 1t 1.-THE SUM advances
Mr.. Warren as a candidate for delegate.
No man is more widely known in Wy
Oming; NONE HAS MORE VAR
led OR VALUABLE INTERESTS.
He is a self-made man, whose prosperi-
ty is inseparably intertwined with the
advancement of the territory. Sun,
