PIE LADIES.
MATTERS ESSENTIAL TO PRESENT AND
FUTURE HAPPINESS.
The Search for Something to Wear
Tempting the Appetite-ser-
senal Hicknacks.

Breach of promise suits are quite fash
ionable this season with the fair sex.
The Skye.terrier bang is as popular as
ever with both the male and the female
dude.
The bouquet de corssge is still very pop
ular. A good. sized greenhouse full OF roses
to belt is very popular thing.
A doctor considers tight laciug public
benefit, inasmucn as it kills off the foolish
girls and leaves the wise ones to grow into
women.
Pocket books are still carried loosely in
the hand, or stuck into shallow pocket
latter style being more popular with the
sneak. thieves.
Trained dresses are considered very vul-
gar in the street. Tue department clean
Ing made a strong fight in their favor,
but it was all to no purpose.
An Eastern metropolitan journal says in
relation to latest fashions a dressy Co.'S
tune for young lady is long, full polo
naise of delicately stamped null, or nous
seline des Indies, open in front over skirt
of striped changeable ecru elk. Floating
ribbons from the throat and waist are al
the trimming necessary.
SHRED panniers, always an ugly fashion,
have died a natural death, as SO many Of
the extreme fashions do. They are toe
loud and obviously in bad taste. The
best dressed people never adopt anything
30 out of the way. There is variety enough
nowadays to suit everybody without adopt
ing anything conspicuous or startling.
With the exception of diamonds, both
real stones and imitations, which Ameri
cans persist in wearing in and ont of sea-
son, fancy articles both in gold, silver and
other metals, made up in variety of taste
fully executed designs, are all the fashion.
Arrows, deity fastened in the ears, are
very pretty as earrings, if they can be
called such. A lovely lace pin is made Of
golden crescent with starry diamond,
like dewdrop caught just inside.
Buttons have quite gone out of fashion,
and waists are fastened with hooks and eyes
and frogs or handsome passamenterie orna
ments, either the same shade as the dresI
or a contrasting hue. Plastron is the
French name for the larger ornaments, anc
three of these are usually sufficient. These
ornaments are not used for any part of the
dress except the corssge. Occasionally
braided dresses are seen VIII Lue COIsag'
or back even quite deliberately covered witt
braid.
An effort has been made to INTRODUCES
puff sleeves on thin dresses, mulls, for in
stance, or cambrics, particularly for thu
morning. If the effect is harmonious, ;
sort of pulled vest might be introduced
the skirt is in puffs-say three large loos'
ones. Some sleeves are merely pulled on thu
shoulder, making much looser sleeve thar
formerly. In thin goods this is very pref
ty. In thicker material tight sleeves still
prevail, SO tight the only wonder is how
one ever got them on.
Blouse waists are very pretty belted in
A slight figure always looks well in them
For cool days there is striped wooden ant
silk goods, called lawn-tennis suitings
which comes in various qualities ant
prices. A blouse sometimes is made o
this, with collars and cuffs of plain mate
rial, formed of the same goods as the skirt
over which the blouse is looped high
Again, the skirt will be of the stripe
which they now make up both ways, per
fectly plain-merely hemmed.
