Fashion Notes.

Costly satin fabrics, brocaded with
clusters of walnuts, are imported.
Gold basket-straw bonnets, trimmed
with fiame-colored lace and fancy sill
yer straws and velvet intermingled, are
the newest fancies in French millinery.
The Chinese and japanese styles of
head-dress are in high vogue among
ultra-faShionable women, and the stars
and heads of the pins they use to thrust
through the top-knots are often studded
with diamonds, rubics and pearls of
rare value.
Among the most costly fabrics for
summer evening toilets are zephyr bro
cades and brocatelles, with brilliantly
colored exotics on dark grounds; mag
nifcent Indian tissues, woven with
threads of gold or silver; heavy otto
mans in all the new artistic shades;
lampas, with satin stripes figured with
velvet flowers, and damasks, with huge
single flowers or bouquets in clusters,
raised on sheeny satin grounds of prim-
rose, pineapple, cinnamon and golden
brown, tea-rose, shrlmp-pink, cameo,
mauve and endless shades of green.
Summer mantles offer but little variety
in shape from those of last season; they
are demi-pelisse visite, and mantelette
or scarf mantle. Some of the most ex-
pensive wraps are made of brocaded
gauZe velvet, or of brocaded Sicilienne
gauze, finished with marabout fringes,
elegant passementeries, chenille bands,
or with beaded embroidery, lace and
satin bows. There are many very beau
tiful wraps for young ladies, in graceful
shapes, and made of white lace, white
or tinted cesile velvet, lined with pale
colored surahs and trimmed with pearl
fringes, costing twenty-five dollars a
yard.
A pretty and serviceable fabric for
adorning summer dresses of white or
Candle, French muslin, and the like, is
a new very sheer cambria, with solid
embroidery covering its entire surface
from selvage to selvage, the embroidery
being done in exquisite Swiss, Venetian,
old Flemish and Irish point patterns.
This material will be used for jersey-cut
bodices to be attached to skirts COW
cred with ruffies embroidered in pat
tern to correspond, the joining of skirt
and bodice being concealed by a sash
drapery of extremely wide moire or sat
in ribbon. Children's entire costumes
will be made of this elegant material.
Many of the new parasols of silk and
satin are lined with Watteau-patterned
foulards, with lace arranged on the out
side in fan-plaiting. These are es-
pecially designed for garden-party use,
coaching and like occasions, and not
for the promenade. Other styles are of
broche satin, edged with marabout, and
all are large and coup-shape, with the
flaps on each gore arranged in the same
way as last year. The prettiest sun
shade seen thus far this season was one
covered with biscuit-colored broche sat.

The Man Who Interrupts.

do not, as a rule, thirst for the blood
of my fellow-man. l am willing that
the law should in all ordinary cases take
its course, but when we begin to discuss
the man who breaks into conversation
and ruins it with his own irrelevant
ideas. regardless of the feelings of hui
manity, am not law and order man.
The spirit of the "Red Vigilanter" is
reused in my breast and hunger for
the blood of that man.
lnterrupters are of two classes: First,
the common plug who thinks aloud and
whose conversation wanders with his
so-called mind. He breaks into the sad
dest and sweetest of sentiment, and the
choicest and most fearful of pathos,
with the remorseless ignorance that
marks stump-tail COW in dahlia bed.
He is the bull in my china shop, the
wormwood in my wine, and the kero-
sene in my maple sirup. l am shy in
conversation, and my unfettered flights
of poesy and sentiment are rare, but
this man is almost always near to mar
it all with a remark, or marginal note,
or a story, or bit of politics, ready to
bust my beautiful dream and make me
wish that his name might be carved on
marble slab in some quiet cemetery,
far away.
Dear reader, did you ever meet this
manor his wife? Did you ever strike
some beautiful thought and begin to
reel it off to your friends only to be shut
off in the middle of a sentence by this
choice and banner idiot of conversation?
If so, come and sit by me, and you may
pour your woes into my ear, and / in
turn will pour few gallons into your
listening ear.

She promised, with a quizzing smile,
He joyful went away,
And near those sktllful servitors
She never went that day.
And they pulled aud hauled and tore
The carpets from the floor,
And rent the rugs in slips,
And splntcrs knocked and chipS
From tables, lounges, chairs;
And cracked the dainty wares
Upon the etageres.

The picture-frames they smashed.
They streaked the tinted walls,
Blockaded all the halls,
Broke windows, battered doors,
