on the railroad track in front of an express
train, ran and picked it up, and was herself
struck by the engine, but at the instant

A COUNTRY newspaper reporter visited
Vasssr College for the purpose OF getting
the views of the young ladies on the tariff
question. To the very first one he encoun-
tered he opened the subject without circum-
~locution by remarking: Il suppose you
girls go in for protection 1--WE did, she
said, with a low, sweet gurgle, shut if they're
going TO increase the tax on chewing-gum

BLACK toilets, especially in airy fabrics,
over either a black or brisht-colored founda-
ton, are now in the hight of fashion. Such
dresses are of black cnantilly, Spanish lace,
brocaded grenadine, or silk gauz., trimmed
with plea,ed fiouces Alternating with those OF
lace. Some of the imported dresses of back,
lace and other diaphanous fibrics are
trimmed with exquisite silver passementeries
and ornaments forming pendants at the ends
OF narrow satin ribbons upon the tablier and
scarf, and at the edges of the crenelated
bodice. Silver lace is also used, and the drs-
peries are held with silver buckles in fligree
in old Roman designs. -
WORTH is employing for some of his
handsomest toilets brocades with flowers
gigantic enough TO vel by the size of the
figures, even his cousummate art oil arrang-
ing materials 10 make them reasonably quiet
and unobtrusive. This he manages chiefly
by using only a small quantity of this gor-
geous material in each dress and never using
it for a corssge. One Of his latest creations
is a golden olive satin, with a ground OF
dark olive brocade, the figure being a huge
magnolia with foliage in shades of golden
owe ana pale green. Inc tram is oil tue
plain golden satin and the skirt is of the
brocade. The from is caught up tightly to
show a narrow knife-pieated rufls of dark
olive satin, over which falls a fringe COM
posed of little 8 TX floss balls in the varied
tones OF the brocade.
WAIsTCoATs OF almost every shape and ma.
terial are exceedingly fashionabl but the new
style of bodice demands the most careful fl
and finish, otherwise their introduction will
often mar the good effect of an otherwise
stylish toilet. Amateur dressmakers and la.
dies who cannot command the services of the
best nodistes would do better to limit Their
desires to hose added trimmings which
though less aspiring, are quite as fashiona'
Bile and much more easily arranged. Fol
example, suppose a perfectly plain close
fitting corsage. Ga this may be placed q
p~lastron of satin or lace, either long or short
wide or marrow, as is best suited to the wear.
e. Shirred silk 6chus edged with lace are
also easily adjusted, and a number of these
in white and pale evening shades make 8
pretty variety Tor Frightening a single dress
OF black silk or satin.
