FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

| The "rocco bodice" now in fashion, has
one or two soft puffs gathered on the edge
| OF the basque and around the V shaped
neck.
| California women whose husbands have
been successful in mining operations are car
| rying off the palm for fine dressing this
| season.
Moonspots, two inches across, are the FASH
| able designs for grenadines. These spots
are of closely woven satin on an armure
ground.
White pique waistcoats, with collars rolling
over the velvet, or cloth.colla1of tailor-made
jackets, are much worn by young girls on the
other side.
John Kankhak, OF Meriden, whipped his
| wife recently because she wouldn't go to his
| church, and the courts are to decide whether
be was right.
Some vulgar women are not satisfied to
feel that they have no expensive hose, but
they must needs make an exhibition of their
feet whenever an occasion offers.
A new regime Mr.. Threefngers, of WASH
ingteD, d. c., gathered courage the other day
10 say TO Mrs. Three6ngers: "Wife, / must
have that night-key now. This isn't Hayes
administration"
$50 Garibsldi is dead" said an Omaha
girl yesterday. 81 remember mis- name per-
fectly, because he invented those Garibaldi
waists we used to wear a few years ago."
There is nothing exactly like fame.
The latest novelty in theatrical costumery
ia pair OF stockings costing $50 pair.
They are black silk, and are embroidered
with beads. lizard is depicted in life
like colors, surrounded by foliage of natural
hues.
Corded silk is fast replacing satin. One
of the most successful toilets at a Newport
dinner party was white corded silk trimmed
with Spanish lace and worn with dark red
slippers, long red gloves, red MORE fan and
Jacqueminot roses.
To be masculine IN dress and conduct is
tine highest ambition of many young women !
who left the school OF propriety 700 soon |
If they have any matrimonial aspirations |
the sooner they dress and act like other |
women the better. |
New fashions in furniture murder what is
called The Queen Anne style and run into I
the antique. Old-style of four-post bed i
steads, with silk csnopies, are coming in
again; likewise the high, straight-back chair
OF the Puritsnical days.
1t is no longer good form to carry about
or read in public cheap, paper-covered
novels, and now the thing is to have rich |
and handsonely-sound volume of some
standard work. 1t is needless TO say that
book publishers are delighted.
The male inhabitants Of New South Wales
appear TO be in sad condition. A great
number OF them find it physically impossible
to procure wives. According TO a report re-
Gently issued on the population of that col
ony no less than 900 women are required
to equalize the sexes. The other Australian
colonies require about the same number in
proportion to their population.
White or black dresses are frequently
adorned with multi-covered ribbons, loops,
and long steamers, or jabots in mixtures of
colors-olive, gray, and pink, or pale blue
cardinal and terra-cotta, for instance, being
copjoined. Primrose, bronze, brown and
crimson form another fashionable combina-
ton, but the slightest error in tint destroys
all the good effect. Well blended, this simple
trimming sufficiently brightens the sombrest
toilet.
Young girls from fourteen to sixteen years
Of age, who are generally Loo slight TO wear
ight-6tting plain waists, resort 10 the En-
.lish jacket, either plated or gathered with
7okes. A favorite style is vigogue or linen
he unique, and an English Jacket with a !
back and front. The gathered :
part below the yoke is drawn in tight around :
he waist, and the basque is plated all i
round. If this kind of costume is of plaid :
,oods, the drapery on the skirt and yoke of '
he waist is bias. .
Ribbon of every shade, design and width a
orms an important part in the costumes of a
he day. The old fashioned stiff bow is sell b
ON seen, the modern arrangements being r
as cascades, flats, plaques, choux f
r pompons; and dressy dress, or even a q
nipple morning toilet, now looks incomplete t
nd expressioness until some adornmeut of e
ibbon has been added. Upon some of the Il
lost fashionable costumes are used ribbons d
y the dozen yards upon the skirt alone; and c.
orsages and wraps are frequently covered r.
18th loops of ribbon, mingled with waves of o
ice. ri
For rowing and fishing parties where the e
,dies take a hand at the oars or the lines, b
lie palmer. the cheaper, the darker the d
resi-, the better. Girls who go in for sport Il
sed dress of dark blue flannel, round n
.irt, quite short and sufficiently full, with Ii
veral rows of dark braid. A loose blouse W
aist, with the same braid on the collar and n
lf., is about as appropriate as anything TT
N be. If this is too youthful, choose a | W
ell-cut Norfolk basque. A soft felt hat, 10
it'll brim that can be tipped down to Just dl
e angle TO shield the eyes and not quite m
mccall the fringe of hair, is the proper 60
,adgedr. -
