PARIS FASHIONS.
The Use or Lace. Gold Braid, GOLD Lace, Cold
Beads, Yellow Flowers.

A Paris letter says: Lace was never more
generally worn than at present, and per-
haps never more applied TO various pur-
poses. Sunshades and walking-dresses are
partially composed OF II. to say nothing OF
the many charming effects In evening dress
which Ii helps to produce. II Is useful,
and adaptable as few things are. A dress
OF black silk or satin, covered with black
lace founces, or drsped with lace t,inie.
may suit almost any OF society's eXigeB-
cies. II may serve for out-oi-door ~ well
as for evening wear.
Among evening toilets, as seen ne the
opera and at the Theatre Italian, white
prevails largely, together with ivory, ecru,
and pale-gray tints. Lace and en-
broidered tulle, In some form or other.
generally mingle with these, while The pale
costumes themselves are often relieved by
bright spots OF color. The taste for shot
silks Is on the increase, II that IL possible.
Some OF the specimens almost vie with the
sheen and lustre Of nature. as seen on the
wings OF certain insects and on the feath-
ers of certain birds. Some costumes, par
TALLY composed OF this changing silk,
present the eye with luxury OF color.
Cross rays OF pink and blue, or OF pink
and gold. or OF pink and deep red, blend
exquisltely and afford scope for variety
ard harmony Of color in the mate
rial composing the other portions OF the
dress.
The jupe Is often made with downward
pleats; in fact, this style is particularly
noticeable at the moment, and admits Of
much latitude in the size OF the pleat,
which varies from four or five inches TO
4. al, L.,
and perpendicular pleats may meet upon
the same dress, the front OF the skirt being
peated and the back trimmed with
LOUNGES. Bands and loops Of ribbon or
velvet are unsparingly sprinkled upon the
costume, and il is often in this spriDkling
that the cOnturiere gives the artistic finish
ing touch to her work. Ruby and pale
pink, gold and russell brown, pearl-gray
and crimson, together with every shade OF
yellow. are among prevailing colors.
Gold braid, gold lace, gold beads, and 4
variety OF yellow flowers, from dafodils
to buttercups, occupy large place in mil
linery ~ does the chOuT. often Of amber,
maize. or gOd-brCwn velvet.
Materials for summer dresses. from bdp-
tiSte percdle and surah TO Grape and cash
mere, mostly display figured surfaces.
Sometimes single flowers are srewn upon
plain ground; sometimes thercis blend
ing Of many colors and design, Civ Ing to
the dress Il certain antique air. Partisan
ladies are showing no decided intention Of
altering the manner OF wearing their hair.
They continue to display the napes Of their
uecks to perfection, and to grace the
crowns OF their heads with rope OF hair
twisted into the form OF the figure 8. For
evening dress suspicion OF powder is
sometimes sprinkled upon the hair OF la
dies whose locks are beginning to silver
with time,

Miss Herter 70 Miss Mor,e,s Office On oc,o. !

Miss Herter 10 Miss Morse's Office on Octo-
Der 10Th, and asked why Miss Morse re-
quired security. She said that she repre-
sented a syndicate Of thirty ladies and was
In her third term Of her Ladies' Invest
ment Bureau. One OF the former opera
tors had run away with 1000. Ordinarily
she required q deposit OF $1,000, but as
Miss Herter was an agreeable young lady
and spoke several languages she would
require only 5000. She gave q receipt for
the money, guaranteeing per cent. in
terest, and told Miss Herter to report
for duty on October 23d. On that day
Miss Morse could not be found. Elk.
Assistant District Attorney O'Byrne in
troduced for the defence the record
OF q civil suit against Miss Morse,
and on bis summing up argued that the
receipt guaranteeing interest and the re-
cord OF the civil suit showed that the 5000
was merely loGn to Miss Morse, which
she had not been able to pay. Miss Morse
did not testify in her own behalf. and no
other witness was called. The claim Of
the prosecution was that the money was
obtained by Miss Morse with fraudulent
intent. The jury, after celebrating for
three hours, reported that they could not
agree. They stood eight to four for con-
viction. Judge Cowing discharged them
and rcmanded Miss Morse toawait new
trial. After the verdict was announced
Miss Morse's interest IN the younger jurors
disappeared.

Guilty in the new cOnduits OF the Sectional
Underground Company, and the manh0lo
in front OF Independence Hall was opened
last night for the purpose of repairing the
damage. A workman was lowered down,
and President johnson, of the Under
ground Company, held lantern down to
light his way. A moment later volume
Of fame shot up the manhoe, followed by
4 deep detonatiOn that shook the ground
for distance OF two squares. The only
