Fashion Nou.

=
The straight, s1endtr lace pin is
generally worn, but the tendency Of
fashion is toward brooches in odd,
fantastic shapes.
Alligator-skin- satchels, pockets and
portInonnaies are much used. They
come in all shades of yellow and black,
but pale yellow IS the preferred color
White wooden. evening dresses with
accessories and trimmings of colored
or white velvet, plush, brocade satin,
lace and chenille fringes will be much
worn.
Steel buttons as large as trade dol
lars with incised figures cut on their
polished surfaces are used to trim the
skirt draperies Of many imported cos
tunes.
The richest among the new silks are
the ottoman veleurs in heavy wide
repped surfaces with large scattered
flowers and figuresin long pile plush
and velvets
Plush coats with black braid orna-
ments loopAd across tho front, military
fashion, are worn by young ladies over
a variety of skirts, for both indoor and
outdoor wear.
Light silk, of pale sca-green. delicate
pink and lilac are combined, for even
ing ware with dark garnet, dark blue,
brown and royal purple yelvets with
admirable effect.
The fancy of the present moment is
decidedly for monotone costumes, and
while combinations Of two or moru
materials in the same dress continue
fashionable, these different fabrics arc
in most cases of the same color. Very
dark coloIs are selected for the street.
Chenille hoods with capes, ia black
and in all colors, are most comfortable
for wearing at night or for driving In
cold weather. The hoods have white
or black lace falling round the face and
are trimmed with bows of ribbon. The
cape falls to the shoulder and the hood
is tied closely under the chin.
The Vatican shoe is for dancing or
full dress ball wear. 1t is Of cream
suede; the toe is embellished with silver
and gold beads in floral design. The
bow on top is of cream satin and the
high French heels are covered with
suede. The stockings should match the
shade of the shoes, and they may be
embroidered in the same designs.
The taiior-made tweed coats, with
the colonel waistcoat showing below
the waist in front, are worn with va
rious skirts; the gray ones especially
with red waistcoats over black or dark
blue skirts, A few white waistcoats
can be seen, and these hayo gold
braiding and gold buttons Cen
d'arme. navy-blue. black. brown and
very dark dresses show these coats OF
to advantage.

"Baseballs are like human beings
you never know what's in them until
you cut them open" said Al Reach, the
old-time seeond-baser, as he placed one
of his professional league balls before q
circular saw, and after some little trou-
bic halved it. Therel What you
think of that2 A great deal of science
and hard work is required in the manu-
fracture Of balls. For instance, the
"pall known as Reachs professional
adopted last week by the American and
the Interstate associations, is patented.
In the center is round piece Of the best
Para gum. Then thereis thebest stock
ing yarn. This is stretched first by ma
chinery TO its utmost tension. Then
it is wound by hand so tight that,
as you see, It resembles one solid
piece of material The wind
ing is done by single strands at a time.
This makes it more compact. A round
of white yarn is now put in. and the
whole covered with a rubber plastic
cement. When this becomes hard it
preserves the spherical shape Of the
ball, and prevents the inside from
shifting when the ball is struck. You
have seen some balls knocked egg
shaped the first blow they are struck.
Wen, with this cement covering that
is impossible. Then comes more yarn,
and finally the cover. The covering
for all the good balls are made Of
horse-hide Long experience has
shown this to be the best. Cow or
goat-skin viii become wrinkled and
wear loose. Why, there is as much
change in the making Of baseballs in
the last ten years as there is in the
game itself. The sewing on of the
covers is done by hand, and the thread
used is catgut."
No one man makes a ball complete.
One person becomes proficient in the
first winding, then some one else takes
it; another man will fit the cover, but
there are few of the workmen who be-
come proficient in the art Of sewing
the cover. A dozen men in the course
Of a day will turn out about twenty
five dozen first-class balls, and as a
rule they make good wages. Some
manufacturers put carpet list in the
balls. but this can easily be detected
when the batting begins, because the
ball soon loses its shape. OF course,
for the cheap balls. such as the boys
begin with, not so much care is exer-
cised in the manufacture. They are
made in cups, which revolve by fast
moving machinery. The insides are
made up of scraps Of leather and
rubber, and then carpet listing is
wound around the ball. 1t takes a
man about ten minutes to turn one of
these out complete. The Reach pro-
fessional ball weighs from five to five
and one-quarter ounces, and is nine and
one-quarter inches in circumference.
All the other balls used by the profess
ionals and high class amateurs are OF
the same proportions. 1t is calculated
that about five million basebalis are
made each year, and these are not ex-
travagant figures, when it is consid-
cred that upon every vacant lot in the
large cities and upon every village
green in the country there are crowds
of men and boys banging away at a
ball whenever the weather permits.
And yet people say the national game
is dying out.--Philadelphtd Record,
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1883-02-07

Most attractive is a toilet of white
Indian silk, with hounces bordered
with white Spanish lace; the skirt is
made rather short to show the little
red satin shoes, with bars across the
foot Of the stockings of spanish lace.
The jacket corsage is of red satin. with
frills and fiounces of Spanish lace and
a large bouquet Of white gardenias st
the side.
