On one of the most beautiful and fashioaa-
BILE avenues of Baltimore is the residence of
Colonel - a leading member of the Balti-

Sulphur Springs, leaving his house in charge
of his servants. Returning to the city uu-
announced few nights ago, he was surprised
to hear music proceeding from his parlor
Opening the front door with his latch-key,
he found his house filled with people, some
of whom were dancing, others promenading.

was an interesting scene when the Colonel

The "Jersey" Near Home.

IaFlS GetteT
The Jersey bodice is revived. Its enemies
have much to say against it, and those who
speak in its favor can make but poor case
The Princess of Wales pronounced against 1t
long ago. Others high in social life have
pronounced for it by wearing it, That it
suits but few is evident, and these few must
be modelled with business of proportions
which nature does not always bestow upon
the specimens of anatomy which she pro-
duces Moreover, even these, to wear the
Jersey. with becoming grace. must neither
become thin nor grow stout, but remain at
the just mean OF combined roundness and
slimness. How few, then. if we except
children and very yonng girls, can safely en-
case themselves in this much-dscussed gar
ment, which, to be seen in perfection, must
fit closely as a skin. From all accounts it is
not likely the revival of the Jersey bodice
will be welcomed warmly by the leaders and
followers of fashion, although it has received
an impetus in certain quarters calculated to
bring it into notice. Not long ago the young
Marquise de Baibeuf appeared at fete in a
Jersey with her crest embroidered in gold on
the front.

Toronto Mail.
People may talk as they like about the Sal

that the movement overtakes class Of PEG
pie not easily reached by the churches In
Toronto the army has assumed large proper
tions. 1t has taken from the streets and
made respectable men and women who, to
use a mild expression, were previous to
their enlistment anything but religious.
Though the beating of drums in London
does exasperate some persons, the noise has a
deep significance to others and 1T helps to
divert their attention from vice and impiety.
The verdict regarding the army in Kingston
is that it has really done great deal Of good.
Numerous vicious and idle people, it is al
legged, have been positively led to abandon
bad habits OF drunkenness and profanity and
to conduct themselves respectfully. 1t is
argued by persons who oppose the methods
of the army that those who join it only do
so with a vainglorious desire to make a show
of themselves. Considering that the soldiers
are ridiculed by many, and that nowadays
there is nothing to be gained by publicly
protesting religious convictions, this theory
is hardly plausible

Summer Hotel Walters.

Springfield Republican.
An observer in the White Mountains is not
disposed to sympathize with the supposed
hardships of the school-marms who go to the
mountains in the summer to serve as wait
ers. He says: In the first place, most of them
that come are determined to enjoy the sum-
mer, hard wock short hours and inconveni-
ences notwithstanding. Their work at this

The Arapahoe War Dance.
Laramie Boomerang.

The Arapahoe war dance is not, strictly
speaking, parlor pastime. True, it resem-
bles the racquet so far as kicking the lamps
out of the chandeliers is concerned, but
there are reasons-and good ones, too-why
it has never become popular in the most
recherche and baked-bean circles. For in
stance, the costume is pretty light About
twenty bucks participated in the soiree we
refer to, and the prevailing style of dress
seemed to bea bandana handkerchief, a little
red paint, and chew Of plug tobacco worn
in the left cheek. Then the postures are
anything but graceful, and the music some
what harsh and discordant to the cultivated
ear. 1t usually emanates from a few joints
of stovepipe, under the influence of power
ful castigation at the hands of the dusky
maidens of the forest who wear a few more
clothes and more paint, but about the same
amount of tobacco.

THE FASHIONS.

Gold lace and crimson roses trim the Lang
try turban.
Seaside dresses which attract attention are
of red or blue twilled cotton, trimmed with
white lace and garnitured with loops and
ends of black velvet ribbon.
Silver-gray mohair dresses, made to fit per-
fectly, and trimmed simply with self-p leat-
ings, are among the most ladylike and ser
viceable OF travelling costumes. They are
not affected by dampness, and shed the dust
! with good shaking.
Wells are now rarely seen even with small
bonnets. a few that appear are of gauze for
travelling, or of dotted net for the street;
mourning wells are no longer obligatory
even for those who assume deep mourning
on the death of relative.
Coffee-colored laces are in great favor, and
laces made of Irvine and interviewer with
colored threads; these are used for summer
cottons and linens. All imitation laces are
now made in several widths, so that the deep
hounce or covering for the tablier may match
the narrow bordering for the skirt and
basque.
The long, ample apron overskirt which ap-
pears on some of the latest French dresses is
becoming to figures both slender and stout,
and is an agreeable change from the short
bunchy tunics and paniers now so fashion
able. This style of overdress is suitable for
the most costly evening dresses, as well as for
costumes Tor travelling and the promenade.
Jerseys are exceedingly popular for chill
dren of all ages, except, indeed the infant in
arms and are worn of all colors, at all hours
of the day, and with all sorts of skirts.
Guimpe dresses are among popular crazes,
but are prettiest for small girls albeit they
are worn by grown ladies as we'll, only for
them being invariably belted in at the waist.
Flowing hair, with straight bang, is the
favorite style of couture for children, and
where the whole front of the hair is shingled
no ribbons are worn. the back being abso-
lutely left unconfned. Many mothers dis
countenance this style of hair dressing, how
ever, on the ground that it tangles, and so
breaks the hair. and prefer plated tresses for
their daughters, except for full evening
dress.
A pretty dress for early autumn is made
of golden brown fancy cloth. OF the under
skirt nothing shows beyond a box-pieated
founce. The second skirt is cut into square
blocks and embroidered in each tab. The
opening between the blocks is filled in with
a narrow duplicating of brown velvet This
skirt is apron shape, draping very low on one
side and looping high on the other, with a
large oblong buckle of gold and bronze
enamel clasping the folds. The tght-fitting
bodice is ornamented around the bottom ex-
actly like the second skirt but in somewhat
smaller proportions. A large turnover col
lar is cut into tabs and embroidered, as are
also the ends of the close coat-sleeves.

A HARMONIOUS MEETING.
Uncle Rufus Makes Suggestions About Time
Allowances.

New York Times.
The American Steam Yacht Clubs board
of trustees endeavored to have a meeting yes
terday at the Office of George s. Scott in the
Mills building. Mr.. Rufus Hatch and the
secretary, Mr. Henry A Taylor, were the
only members on deck at the appointed
time. After splicing the starboard main
brace they piped all hands aft, and seating
themselves in boatswain's chairs, proceeded
to an animated discussion of the question of
time allowances Mr.. Hatch, who had
studied Measurer Haswell's report Carefully
and comprehensively, said he thought there
was too much square root in it. He did not
care so much about square root as he did
about square dealing among the members
He explained what he meant by square deal
ings. His yacht is AZ feet long, Mr.. Gould's
is Is about aOS Ms 2SO ca Mr. T"y gH% Nj is
Seotts are 1876 each. Mr. Hatch s
idea of time allowance was that he should
receive from Mr.. Gould an allowance of 81
per cent.-about the price of Western Union
and proportionate discount from the
others, based OIL the difference between the
size of his yacht and that of their vessels.
Thus, in race beginning on Sept l, Mr..
Gould ought to allow him about five days
If Mr.. Gould arrived at the goal of the race
on Sept. 2, and Mr.. Hatch contrived to pass
the same point on Sept s. Mr.. Gould would

but Mr.. Gould ought to allow him a little
more time because Mr.. Gould drew more
water than he did. Mr.. Hatch thought, more
over, that no yacht should be admitted to the
club unless 1t possessed all the modern con-
veniences. Some yachts were sadly deficient
in this respect but Mr.. Hatch's was not He
thought that the American Yacht Club
would be remarkably successful when this
question of time allowance was settled 1t
ought to be settled in the way which he sug-
gested. Then Mr. Hatch could beat every
one in the club Mr.. Hatch moved the cleo
ton of John Roach, who recently bought
the yacht Yosemite for 81. Mr.. Taylor Sec
onded the motion and it was carried The
meeting was very harmonious At its con-
clusion those present carefully spliced the
port main brace and put themselves on a
taut bowline for their Offices There will be
another meeting soon.

READING FOR THE SABBATH


o God, Thou counselor divine,
White on iife's weary way tread.
o may Thy mercieE still be mine
Until Pm numbered with the dead.
The paths of sin are beaten hard
By us poor mortais here below;
But sinful pleasures all are marred
BY sorrow, sickness, pain and woe.
The way is dark, beset with death,
While through life's weary gloom we press;
We trudge along with fainting breath
Till we, at last, our sins confess,
Then raise our eyes aloft and see
With contrite hearts and prayerful souls,
Our Savior nailed upon the tree,
The weight then from the bosom rolls.
