discharged. He is German, and is consd-
cred handsome. Mr.. Mor0sini's suspicious
were first aroused two weeks ago, when he
found Miss Victoria resting calmly in the
arms of the coachman. The old broker be-
came terribly enraged, and scene imme-
diately followed, Miss Victoria being sent
to her room and Shilling ordered off the
premises. Early yesterday morning the
lovers fled, and are supposed to have arrived

Fashion Notes.
Fans remain very large.

Fans remain very large.
Crinoline is on the increase.
Drapewies grow less elaborate.
The Figaro is the coming jacket.
Small l1reuze bonnets are in vogue.
.Jetted braids appear among dress
trimm ngs.
Skirts are nearly all gathered in at
the waist.
No heels and full gathered skirts are
coming IN.
Cameo clasps fasten belts to round
wasted dresses.
Belts and sashes tied on one side are
much in favor.
Satin corsets are easier to wear than
those of coutil.
Every woman of fashion has at least
one lace toilet.
Braids of all kinds will be much usgd
for dress decorations.
Foulards are the favorite wear of
children for fall dresses.
There is rage at this moment for
excessively small bonnets.
Figaro Jackets are made of velvet
gauze for dressv fall wear.
i Jackets of ribbed velvet or velVeteem
are correct for fall wear.
Handkerchiefs with fancy colored
borders remain in high favor.
Stout women look better in gathered
skirts than in tight gored ones.
A cheering line in a Paris letter an
nounces that bustles are less prominent.
Silver braid in rows and rings will be
the stylish trimming for black cashmere
dresses.
At a late fashionable wedding in Eng.
land the BRIDES bouquet, composed OF
white lilies, was large enough to fill a
big wheelbarrow.
1t is gratifying to learn that corsets
are undergoing change; they are
made shorter in the waist and allow
more room for the hips.
When the fall travelling dress is not
of gray, mohair, it is preferred OF biscuit
or mushroom colored light wool, and
dark green or olive velvet collar, cuffs,
and parements braided with gold.
The fan must match the toilet and
suit the occasion. There are race fans,
regatta fans. ballroom and dinner fans,
piazza, parlor, and theater fans, but no
church fans. Fans should never be car
ried to church.
The Empress of Austria, whose skill
