is a single row of braid stitched to
the edge. The finest suits do not
show this. They are satin-lined, but
destitute Of any trimming whatever. The
fashionable tailor-made skirt consists of
three pieces: a trimmed skirt, a habit
bodice, and frock coat or reding0te. The
skirt is laid inside or clustered pleats sur
mounted by short draped apron or folds
which are lost in the drapery behind, this
descending to the top Of killed tiounce
unless the perpendicular plaits are laid
all around alike, as is not unfrequently
the case. Heretofore it has not been pos
slble to get genuine tailor-made silk
lined suit under $780, now they can be OBJ
tanned with the frOck coat-not the redin-
cote or what is called the Newmarket
tor $50, of good quality, cut and workman
ship.
THE INDOOR DRESS
forms of course the greatest contrast to the
outdoor dress. 1t is marked by singu-
lar refinement, but often by as much sim
plicity. White and delicate tints are
universal. Black has almost disappeared
from indoor toilets. Fine trimming laces-
oriental and imitation Mecklin-are in
dulged in on ordinary occasions, and
lovely effects are produced by narrow
standing loops of ribbon in three colors
and the lace pleatings and ruches, which
the battlemented edges OF the narrow
standing collars disclose.
Fancy work takes the form Of painting
or embrOiderins panels or decorations for
plain satin or silk home dresses, and
quaint forms copied from pictures are
sometimes INDUCED in for the benefit of
the family circle or an exclusive coterie.
Little social clubs and societies have
become as thick as mushrooms. There,is
the Homer Club, the Browning Club, the
Elizabethan Club, the Reading Club, and
hundreds of others, all of which are quiet
little societies never heard of in print, but
which number some of the best people in
their ranks, and are very significant as
showing the tendency toward intellectual
pursuits in social life. JENNY JUNE.

DUCKS ON A BENDER
Two Tipping Birds who are Always on
Hand when Drinks are Going ROuEd.

Two Tipping Birds who are Always on
Hand when Drinks are Going ROurd.
One of the attractions of liquor sa-
loon in East Newark, says fhe New York
San, is a pair of Muscovy ducks. A
stranger going in would see nothing re-
markable about them, except their extra
ordinary size, but the regular patrons of
the saloon know very well what the birds
want when they approach with a gentle
''quack."
They seem not to care what their tipple
is. They will gulp down beer or whisky
with equal satisfaction. They nod their
heads before drinking, and this, the pro-
prietor of the saloon thinks, is their mode
of indicating that the libation is dedicated
to the health of the donor. 1t is, clearly,
not conducive to their own, for after two
or three repetitions of the social draught
their eyes assume foggy, PARKWAY eX-
preston, and they rub their heads with
Increasing fervor and affection against
the legs Of the customers.
From the drunkenness of affection they
pass to the drunkenness of hilarity. They
waddle staggerlngly around the saloon,
quacking out jokes which, though not
wholly Ineligible, furnish the bystand-
ers with a good deal of fun. Men who
would not by any means offer one of their
friends a second glass of liquor open their
hearts and their pockets and minister to
the vices of these disslpated ducks, until
the drunkenness of hilarity merges into
the drunkenness of pugnacity, and, with
gaping beaks and uncertain feet, they
strive. Intellectually, to injure each other.
Finally the intoxicated ducks, ceasing
to afford amusement, are carried away
and put to bed. Formerly their couch
was on the grass IN the back yard, but
one day large cat found them there,
and was so astOnished at her own good
luck that she hesitated before settling
down to work. The delay destroyed her
chance. She was seen, and only hard
climbing saved her from being Drained
with an empty bottle. Since that time
the ducks have been allowed to sleep off
their spree in the cellar.
''Kill them at last!' exclaimed the pro-
prietor, when this possibility was sug-
gested to him. ''Well, maybe so; but
they've been five years at it, and it doesn't
seem to have done them much harm yet.
| think if their liquor was stopped they
would not live long; but | don't intend to
try it. l have had offers of good deal OF
money for those ducks. You see they're
seasoned, and a Frenchman told me once
that, though their principal drinks are
only beer and whisky, they must have
become so mellowed with alcohol that
they would be just as good as ducks
stewed in champagne. But dollars and
cents can't buy them"

ALL IN THE DRAW.


Four candidates sat-such an anxious band!
At table wherein big jack pot lay;
Each ghed as he looked at the cards IN his
hand,
And wondered just how it were best toplay;
For boomers may boom, but the voters give
law,
And the issue at last is all in the draw,
With jack pot on the table.
One counted an Office and spoils at command,
And one on a book that was not yet done,
And one on war record took his stand
And elegant hopes of Ohio had one:
For there's plenty of sand in a candidates
craw.
And he sometimes forgets that its all in the
draw,
With jack pot on the table.
They Clipped, and they raised, and they
bluffed as they bet,
And tried all the various tricks Of the game;
Though all were so eager to capture the
same;
For cheek. as a rule, is more potent than jaw,
But the issue at last Is all in the draw,
With jack pot on the table.
a dark little man at the corner stepped IN,
And ordered them sharply to come to a
show;
He laid down a hand that was certain to win,
And sadly the candidates turned to go;
For the sharp tooth of grief at the giZzard
will gnaw
when a candidate loses his all on the draw
And farewell to the pot on the table

THE CRoOK's FIRST GAME
A 500 Watch Left Over in the Lottery
and Obtainable for SIS.

and Obtainable for SIS.
A Blocker street, New York, crook
stood on the top step of a hIgh-stoop house
not far from Mulberry street yesterday
afternoon, says the sam of the Both uIt.,
balancing a neat silver-headed cane onthe
END of his white forefnger, when friend
came along the street. The crook sat
down ON the iron hand rail and said:
''COme up"
"What were you thinking aboutT' said
the friend.
''The wonderful influence which APP
parently small incidents have on the lives
of men. No one knows what the final
effect of his lightest word may be. / can
illustrate in my own experience. You
have frequently heard me speak of my
parents with respect because they sent
me to church and Sunday school. l was
at church one day when about entering
into the cares and responsibilities of man
hood. A venerable man, stranger to
me, mounted the pulpit. After the usual
scriptural reading and psalm singing he
announced his text. 1t came to me as a
revelation from heaven:
"'Consider the lilies of the field; they
toll not, neither do"
The listener laughed, and the crook
smiled and said: eyes, | have been con-
sidering ever since that Solomon and
other working people never wore as good
ly apparel as the gentlemen of leisure
like myself"
"But you are sure to get caught some
time" said the crooks friend.
81 suppose so, but l was lucky in my
first venture, and have taken that as an
omen of good luck"
what was the game?v
VERY easy. Soon after the sermon /
told you about l fell in with a gentleman
who had been the boOkkeeper in a lottery
scheme. Being of a methodical turn, he
had copied the addresses of all the cor
| respondents who wrote to the managers
of the lottery. When l met him he was
carrying the banner"
walking the streets with a sign?"
'No. Sleeping in the park and work
ing free lunches. He told me of the list.

simply wrote letter to each address, the

is decidedly simple. almost to severity.
The adaptation of color to laces and the
snowy ornamentation applied to thin fab
RIGS by recent improvements in machinery
is sure to be followed by a deluge of color
and glitter, and already the evidence of q
great movement in color among the
masses is clear and strong. This is not
to be regretted. The mothers of the ma
iority of the daughters Of to-day did pen
nance all their lives in grey cotton or
black alpaca. Their lives were depressed
by the absence of brightness and cheer
fulness from their clothes and
surroundings. The beauty of coIors
woven into flowers for their adornment
was as foreign to their expectations as to
their wardrobes, which, perhaps, hardly
held the extra gown, or the bonnet for
Sunday best. Colors were put on by
hand with the needle and after stiff con-
ventional patterns. and only at high cost.
Laces were expensive. Real or coarse
cotton limitations and beaded trimmings
were only known in black and white.
Hundreds of bright and pretty accessories
are available to-day at trifle of cost
which then were out of reach or not IN
existence, and the hunger of the ages for
brightness and beauty will be satisfied in
a confused, violent and unsystematic
way by the present and coming possibill-
ties in the way of color and cheap orna-
mentati0n.
But in the meantime fashion-high
fashions taking-has already taken the
alarm. 1t is nothing if not different from
the majority. 1t delights in an eternal
minority. 1t takes refuge in the strictest
of tailer-made costumes; in long, close
Jersey redingOtes, in small toques of cloth
which fit the head as the coat fits the
body; in the darkest or least conspicuous,
what may be considered atmospheric
shades of color, and in the entire absence
of anything in the way of ornament, even
buttons. The most buttons for cloth suits
are Of braid, and the only finish allowed
