charming novelties, in dress. Leaders
in fashion are not confpiDg them
selves in any way to previous styles,
but are aiming at startling changes
and entirely original designs. The
Louis XIV costume in brckskin, with
muskrat edgings, will be a favorite
among the older and more sedate
squaws, and the loose travelling suits
made of wagon covers. with dash of
axle grease and seal brown tar, will be
much worn before it is discarded. A
redingote of autiquated logcabip bed

vor with old and swayback squaws
who are in half pourDrng.

shone hops. The trail will not be in
vogue this year, the nearest approach
to it being the tablecloth costume,
held in place with embossed safety
pin. The more frolicsome bellies,
however, will wear blue mosquito ba,
sash at the waist, and gents British
half hose. This will be the favorite
evening costume. Novelties in jew

maids, with no special attractions il
form of feature, have recently severely
criticized the costume adopted, during
the present month, by Devy of Sho-
shone bellies, which consists of ar
alpaca umbrella and a dash of rec
paint. While the suit is, of course
