FOR THE LADIES.

combination.

very fashionable.
Terra Gotta gloves are worn with pale
pink and blue dresses.
Crystal chandeliers and pendants are
coming into use again.
Very high standing collars, enclosing
a ruche, are much worn.
The favorite color for undressed kid.
for street wear is dark tan.
The small capote and the large bon
net are equally fashionable.
Crenelated edges to fancy house
jackets are a growing fancy.
Shoes that lace over the instep ar
once more the height of fashion.
French dressmakers make a bonnet
and muff to match each costume.
White tulle is used in the place of an
invisible hair net to keep the front hai1
in good shape.
A white China silk, with a plated
gold pattern over it, is in favor for
bodies and paniers.
Buckles in rose, blue, green, copper
and other colors come for decorating
muffs, hat and bonnets.
Plain dark velvet opera cloaks lined
with striped plush and trimmed with
fur are fashionable fancy.
The taste for lace of all kinds, real
and imitation, increases from season
to seasan and from day to day.
The fashion of wearing the jacket
and waist of different color and ma
terial from the skirt grows in favor.
Lace, which is more worn than ever,
and flowers are the two accessories
which make demi-toilet. dresses elegant
The corsage bouquet, or bow, is worn
high on the left sice Of the bodice, near
the shoulder, and not far from the
neck.
The tendency to enlarge the sleeve
above the elbow until it has to be fulled
in at the armhole is marked in many
imported costumes.
An exquisite jabot collar is made of
double lace, with a bow at the throat,
while the crossed ends are fastened
with spray of flowers.
A pretty bow for the neck. to be
worn with evening toilets, is formed of
loops of delicately- tinted ribbon above
fall of plated lace. Tufts Of flowers
ornament it at both ends.
An exquisite party dress for little
girl of eight is of pale pink nuns veil
ing, secured at the waist with wide
surah and finished with fiounce and
berthe of open-work silk embroidery.
The tailor-made coats for ladies are
so tight-ftting, that the bodice of a
dress is generally taken off for outdoor
wear, and thin but warm stockinette
one submitted, with long sleeves, fitting
as closely as possible.
Black satin dresses, with black gloves
and black ostrich feather fans, are seen
with cloaks of the most brilliant red
velvet. The bonnet worn with such
a toilet is red velvet, finished with a
border of finely cut jet beads.

A Working Empress.

A foreign paper says The empress
OF Austria, even putting aside the fact
that she is grandmother, is a most
marvellous woman, and has recently
been through more than unusual
severe course of training for the hunt
ing season, which, by the way, she will
probably spend in Hungary. During
the time that her majesty was at her
summer residence at Ischl, in Upper
Austria. she generally rose at 6 o'clock

LOVE AND A DUCKING.

sThis is my daughter, Caroline.
Carrie, Mr.. Sloane" :
Harry Sloane bowed, and pretty,
winsome Carrie Hervey bowed in re-
turn.
Harry had picked out the farm as
residing place during a business
trip.
After Carries father had intro
duced the young people he went to
the barn, leaving the pair seated upon
the porch.
"a pleasant spot this" said Harry,
after he had finished admiring the
pretty, dimpled hands which the girl
had carelessly laid upon the light blue
serge dress.
"You like t?" she asked.
"Like does but half express my ad-
miration. 1t seems as though l should
be perfectly satisfied to linger here
forever" responded Harry.
"But surely, Mr.. Sloane, the attrac-
tions of city life must surpass those
of such humdrum locality as this"
"On the contrary, prefer what you
call the humdrum locality
"And why, may ask ?"
because, because--well, / cannot
fully explain my reason. l suppose it
is because l am heartily sick of city
ways"
"And so you come here for a
.change?"
eyes, 1 believe that is the reason" ;"
The pair sat there upon the porch,
talking upon one subject and the
other, until the evening shadows fast
deepened into darkness.
Finally Harry arose, and said,-
"AsI am somewhat tired with my
journey l will retire."
The girl called her father, and the
latter taking lamp led the way to the
front chamber on the upper floor.
Harry took up his travelling bag, and
after goodnight" to Carrie, he fol-
lowed the old gentleman up the stairs,
and shortly afterwards was soundly
sleeping
"He is handsome, and so is Jack. He
is gentlemanly. and Jack is not quite
SO easy. He talks and acts like real
gentleman, and Jack can hardly ever
find the right word to say when it is
needed. Jack loves me, and II won
der do l really and truly love Jack %
Thus Carrie mused after she had dis
robed herself for the night, and sat by
the window.
Strange, she had never questioned
the fact as to whether or not she loved
Jack. She had always taken it for
granted that she did love the handsome
brown-faced farmer-boy, who had ac-
companied her home from singing in
the parish room on practising nights in
the winter, and taken her to picnics
and on excursions in summer.
Theirs had been on affection without
any question, any doubt or mistrust tc
mar the serenity of its flow.
Two, three weeks pass rapidly, and
Harry Sloane finds himself musing
over tho possibility of his being able to
provide for o wife. Carries lovely
face, her pretty figure and her grace
have been the whole cause of his per-
plexity. Before he met her he never
had thought of ever marrying.
He had espied fine young farmer
on several occasions talking with Car

it is fortunate, indeed, that the tempera-

An extraordinary act of teroclty was
committed in the Rue dc Mezieres yester.
day by mason named Sarrot. This man
was working on a scatfodlng with another
mason named Gauthier, when quarrel
broke out between them, which was
promptly settled by the foreman. Sarrot
resumed his work in sullen spirit, and a
few moments later seized an axe and com.
