We do not believe the Convention has

win the party must poll ITS full strength,
and there are thousands OF lifelong Repub-
licans who will hesitate TO vote for the
Maine statesman. They are mostly the
silent men who stand aIoof from caucuses
and conventions, and who have nothing to
fear from the crack OF the party whip.
They are thoughtful and in earnest, and
in doubtful States like New York are
likely to determine the final result. Should
these Independents act as they have done
in certain other cases the mistake made at
Chicago will soon be apparent.

a SOCIAL MYsrEKY EXPLAINED.
How Young Men of the Period Flourish
Without Visible Means of support.

How Young Men of the Period Flourish
Without Visible Means of Support.
New York Graphic
A somewhat familiar parsonage in New York
is the young man Of good family who lives with
out any visible means of support, and goes in the
best society. He is probably the most mysteri-
Gus man in New York. and few if any, of his
friends understand how be manages to get along.
After little study this apparent secret begins
to come out and assume distinct form 1t will
be seen that the expenses of young unmarried
man with good common sense are but nominal,
and that very small sum will suffice to
keep his head above water. With econom-
ical but not parsimonious habits 81 600
or $500 year will keep one of these
society swells afioat, where he would need at
least $40 900 year if he were married. Say he
is a clerk in brokers' Office IN Wall street,
where he manages to exc out $15 or 500 week.
That is supposed to be an occupation not in
compatible with the habits of gentleman. He
boards perhaps with some married friend, and
paws therefor $40 a week; or he may have a
room in some mysterious place. for which his in
come suffers to the extent of 81 or So week.
He may belong to a club where his dues are
but nominal, and the reduced price at which he
gets his dinners and wines there will save
him enough to pay his club expenses Then
he is well known among the club
men, and by assiduousiy cultivating their ac-
qualntance he manages to be asked out
to dinner four or five times week. But the
tailor. All, there's the rub! To this interesting
individual he is introduced by some wealthy
friend and orders dress suit, for which he pays
OF promises to pay $40 or $50. That obtained,
together with an opera hat, a cane and pair of
patent leather shoes. he walks into society like
Aladdin into the caves of the genii. Such little
necessaries that follow, as flowers for his lady
friends, cigars, car-fare a carriage now and then
and an occasional box at the opera, he can make
up by cool head at a game of cards or perhaps
writing the club gossip or society news for some
weekly paper, and thus well dressed, with easy
hours and plenty of invitations out, he manages
to make both ends meet without compromising
his standing as gentleman.

Evangelist Barnes in France.

Rev. George o. Barnes, the Kentucky evan
gelist, writes the Stanford Journal from Rouen:
Il say our French--which means that Vernon
does the wrestling with the unmanageable lingo
while stand by in pitiable, helpless condition
with an almost uncomfortable desire to pitch
in with the Hindustan tongue when he gets in a
tight place. / know they could not appreciate
English, but have an insane idea that if / ad-
dress them in something not English the chances
are in favor of being understood. 1t is curious
delusion, well known to many, in virtue of which
one thinks that in addressing Dutchman, for
example, if, instead of pure English one speaks
with very broken German accent. the unhappy
the ungrammatical style of very small child,
vulgarly known as baby talk, will seem to sim
plify the difficulty. Any approach to the unin-
tellgible will, it is thought somewhat bridge

MIDSUMMER MODES.


White silk gloves are worn by the million
Lace stockings are the latest extravaganza in
hosiery.
Crocheted collars and cuffs are again fash
ionable.
Chatelaine watches are not as much worn as
formerly
Bangles Of shells are worn by young ladies at
the seaside.
Amber ribbons are most frequently worn with
white dresses.
The fashion for round waists is becoming more
and more prevalent.
Auburn hair will decidedly be the fashion for
the next few months.
Linen collars should be worn with jerseys, or
very narrow lace frills.
The hair is very frequently seen powdered,
not with white but colored powder.
Fan scabbards are novelties They are made
OF brocade and suspended by ribbon.
Alligator slippers, with tiny buckle on the
toe, are worn in the morning at Saratoga.
Red is becoming SO fashionable that even
riding habits are made of red ladies' CLOTH
Narrow satin ribbons are worn tied closely
around the neck and in bow the left side.
Swiss hose caps so much worn by English
matrons, are coming into vogue for young ladies.
With many all white suits worn by little girls
there is a Sacque of figured white velvet to be
added on cool days
To brighten UP black dresses, ladies turn in
the dress below the throat and wear achemisette
of gathered black tule or white net
Thistles, chestnut burrs, ears Of corn, sprays
of wheat and oat straw ornaments in gold
and silver to fasten lace or collars with.
Immense collars of the most delicate lace are
worn, pointing to the very waist in front. so as
to form vest, and touching on the belt line at
the back
Dresses for young ladies are prettily made Of
fine wool in Marguerite fashion, with straight,
full skirt slightly gored in the front only. with
deep hem, and bands of ribbon velvet around
the skirt, full round bodice, worn with Swiss
girdle of velvet to match the trimming on the
skirt.
1t is said there is no less than twenty distinct
shades of the mushroom .'champignonp color,
though the shade in any of its varied tones is not
so much worn as was expected. It has probably
been found unbecoming, as most toilets of these
neutral hues are certainly more trying than the
more pronounced colors
