EVE-ANGELICAL.

A new and very handsome shade of cardi-
nal is much used for children's dresses.
Clusters of large strawberries on cream
ground Is one of the latest designs for paint
ed muslin.
Mrs. Betsey Young of Georgia, Is seventy
years old, has never taken dose Of medi-
cine and has never seen a railroad.
Nantes next fall will al! be lined with
some bright color. gold, red, blue or pink.
Gold will be first choice. Velvet will be the
principal material.
Old gold is still used with nearly every,
other hue. Green Is also much in vogue. 1t
is combined with red satin. just as red and
blue have been for some time past.
1t now appears that the name of the young
lady whom Oscar Wilde pronounced the
most beautiful In the United States is Miss
Jennie Allen, Of Montgomery, Ala.
"My big rat" "My own darling green rab-
bt," "'the idolized pig of my Dreams" ETC.,
was what French wife wrote to acaptan Of
| artillery, and her husband has asked for q
| separation.
Satin Is on the wane as a dress fabric, and
| next season it will be superseded by other
| goods, notably rep silks, which are soft and
| yielding. and yet appear to be heavy from
! the thick cords in them.
Bridal dresses are again being made of
white gros grain and repped silk. They are
elaborately trimmed with elegant white silk
| embroidery and lace, and the regulation
orange blossoms is now mingled with white
| roses, geraniums and lilies.
A London actress has written a letter to
| ha prt ha ha lain hp Ear ri nF a
| who revises plays aud their "business," ask
ing that he will a5ate the nuisance of decol-
| lette dresses in the stalls and boxes as they
are annoying TO ladies on the stage.
1t is said that embroidery will be used in
great profusion on winter woolen dress goods.
Polka dots will be enlarged to great balls
that resemble embroidery, though they are
wrought by machinery. Self colcrs will be
| used In dress goods In preference to figures.
Heavy gros grain silks and taffetas will be
the choice over satin lustrous silks.
As a lady with her little daughter passed
out of church, the child bade good bye to a
poorly dressed little girl. ''How did you
know her?" inquired her mother, "Why
| you see, mamma, she came into our Sabbath
school alone, and made place for her on
my seat, and smiled, and she smiled, and
then we were acquainted" A good plan for
the big folks to follow in church.
All outside garments that are popular of
late years outline the form, more or less, by
| being cut to fit or gathered in to Its shape.
Attempts have been made to revive the long
! scarf straight upon the back aud hanging
straight down in front, but they have been
comparative failures. Shape outline Is de-
manded and the draped costume with more
or less modification will outlast this genera
tion at least.
II begins to be quite freely whispered that
the reigning fashion for feminine hair dress
ing, next summer, will be 10 wear the locks
simply cropped, close enough to the head to
admit of short curls all over it.. This whim
may be inspired by a revulslon from the
years of suhjection TO combs, hair pins and
crimping pins. 1t may also bring about
decided relief from headaches In hot weather
or from uncomfortable hats so perche upon
the usual superstructure of hair that can
only be held In place by skewers Of brass or
iron But who will venture to say that the
style will prove becoming? A very young
girl, with soft and dinpled surfaces
of cheek and chin, may acquire
a certain baby winsomeness by this couture,
hut We tremble to think of the mature ma
tron thus snilelessly adorned! However,
those who have lived through the Anglo

worn low enough TO reveal the defects of
every conceivable head and profile during
the past two years can do doubt survive the
new departure.
On casual inspection the irrational gown"
resembles an ordinary suit as much as one
pea resembles another, but there is radical
difference. Lady Habberton has evidently
been actuated by q desire to do away with
D tight lacing and to lessen the weight carried
by the hips. This desire Is commendable,
as the health of posterty depends upon fe-
male lungs and loins. The irrational gown
: is divided into four parts. First comes a
J neat silk blouse plated OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
q the front like shirt and finished at the neck
with turn down collar. Above Is worn {
jacket, cut away IN front so as to show the
: blouse, the back fitting like the ordinary
, basque. Coat sleeves terminate with lace
| trimmings. Surely there is nothing remark
able so far. Where, then. is the novelty? IL
the skirt. To avoid the necessity of petit
s coats Lady Habberton has devised an under
= skirt which is in reality commodious pal
h of Turkish trousers so open aud wide at th'
bottom as when worn to lose every appear
ance of trousers, being trimmed to the kne,
+ with kilt platings. This novelty is coveret
: by an overskirt with tablier and looped bacl
!. drapery.
