tleman's hat. A ribbon passes
around the crown, and is joined to,
eether by Il buckle. On one side
there Is cluster OF dropping cocks
plumes The improved French
dresses likewise shows the prova-
lenee Of English taste but tho Paris
ian modlstes compensate tor the So
verify OF cut and finish by adding
an abundance of trimming. The
material used is generally souache
braid, sewed on edgewisc, so that
the pattern Is raised, or frogs or any
other silk ornaments in n shade 10
match the color OF the costume. The
latest thing In the ornamentauon il
to atfix real beetles, loausts or other
large insects to prominent points.
The animal is killed with sulphurlc
od0rs and then q thread or q piece
of fine wire is passed horizontally
through 1t Immediately behind the
connection of head and body. In
this way the animal will last rs long
us the hat itself. In lingerles tho
officers collar OF plain linen is most
worn. 1t is much more economical
than crepe liSse ruchings. Small
white tuIle seariJ are twisted around
the neck and taken down the front
of tho inside OF the waist like II
fichu. A rather striking novelty IS
to wear PLAIN wrap handkerch ct
on the front of tho waist. Fancy
jewelry continues in great favor
and among the latest agonies is the
fashion OF fastening bonnet strings
with gilt flies, ..
The lion of the week has been Mr.,
Alexander NJ. sullivan, tho Irish
leader and "patrio" rs his country
meh admirlngIy term him. had
the pleasure of meeting him at the
house of prominent Irish Amerl'
can and was much impressed with
him. He is a man of medium height,
and slight figure. His HAIR and
beard are grizzled, his eyes are blue
and are singularly open and attrac'
tive and his manners are winsome
in the ex RENE. After conversing
with him for five minutes you feel
as il you had known HIM tor years
The lady members OF his family are
equally attractive. Their first de-
sire after the formOhtes of rocep.
tions had been gone through with
was to sec the stores and some la
dies volunteered to take them out
shopping. They returned in the
evening Immt nscly pleased with al
! they had seen. The stores simply
enchanted them ald as regards
prices, they said that the idea thai
one could buy things so much cheap
er in London was all folly. Ameri
can ladies pleased them immensely
One OF them observed that a person
might walk through London for d
week without seeing as many pref
ty women as one could find hero Of
an afternoon. In their opinion on,
women dressed much moro neatly
and tastetully than English ladies
and in their appearance and grace
were true Pa.lscnnes. Nowhere
in the world were childrcn dressoC
as PRETTY as in this country, anC
said she, "half a dozen afternoons
on Broadway and IN the stores il
alone worth u trip across the AT
lantic."
Tho International Rife Match i,
over, and, as was expected, The
Americans were dagracoiully beat
en-. tho British team loading thcm
ITO points at tho conclusion Of the
second days shooting. The lack o
discipline among our men, tho inie
riorlty oftheir weapon and thei
lack of skill IN hitting the target u
long ranges was painfully evident
But, the experience will not b,
thrown away If the members OF III,
National Guard promptly set on
and profit by ii. The Hurrah feel
ing Of "Amorica leads tho world
will not lead 10 victory by Itself
and the sooner American manulac
turers O. firearms find out that the,
have still something 10 learn III
better for them, The match wa
not at all we'll managed and III
officers of the National rife Associa
ton under whose auspices tho shoot
ing occurred showed a deplorabl
lack of executive ability. The fac
is that in tho Association there ar
too many Generals, Colonies m,
Majors. A few simple private
would leavon tho dough of whicl
the Association is apparently com
posed, wonderfully.
