Fashions Fancics.

New designs in rich silk fabrics measure
half yard from the end OF the long tleX-
bic stem 10 the curled edge Of the great
shaded flower, Veur de lis, or tiger lily.
The ribbons most used in trimming dark
straw hats and bOnnetS are satin on one
side aud velvet on the other. They are in
fine dark or ecru shades, matching the
straw.
One OF the latest hats is the old Jenny
Lind gypsy revived, simply brim Of
straw, or some one OF the tinsel braids,
with proiusion OF flowers, feathers, and
laces so arranged that Were the diminutive
thing sentient it must needs give up the
ghost from sheer inability to bear its bur-
den.
Late tailor-made costumes have exhibit
ed novelty in cuts and collars or revers
OF stamped leather. Ii is soft and bcauti-
fully finished in ecru and Russia.leather
cOlors. and sometimes neatly stitched as
VOL rs stamped. This addition is only
seen on a few imported costumes, and they
are accOmoanied by cloth hats trimmed
with leather to match, the ends drawn
through small oXidized buckles.
Fashions must be more or less a game at
see-saw. the limits being so fixed in the
very nature OF the case as not to permit Of
any very wide divergence without tres
passing on the absurd or the eccentric. ex-
tremes which the majority dread. The age
OF mOnstrosity is over. The actual form
OF our garments has changed but little in
the past fifteen years. 1t has only shaped
itself more closely to the human anatomy
and yibratcd to the demand for diversity
in details. leaving the essential almost I'M
changed.
Atwood fabrics now partake OF much Of
the elegance once thought possible only for
yelycts and high-class silks, and one sees
an amount OF richness in the texture OF
these materials that makes them much
sought after as the chief constituents OF
promenade costumes. Cancels hair, in all
its grades Of yigogne, Chuddah, and
serge, may he said TO bear the palm as the
fabric par excellence OF the best dressed
women in Paris when promenading or
shopping, aud not few attire themselves
In perfectly-fitting Atwood toilets for calls

STYLED "the President" and should moi
wonder II many OF the masses regard IL as
the President Of the new world who travels
with such grand retinue and enjoys the
hospitality OF palaces. At Cawnpore the
palatial bungalow Of the maharajah wa
placed entirely at the Presidents disposal,
and when he and his party arrived at night
they found the grounds lighted up.
Among the many gorgeous accounts IN
The TheoSophiSt one relates to the Presi'
dents reception at the Court OF Kashmir.
The Maharajah Sahib had sent his State
carriage TO the nearest station, and when
they crossed the river Colonel OlcOtt found
two State elephants prepared for him
self fitted with silver howdah in finest
Kashmir repousSe, with dragon supporters
and velvet cushions. The bungalow set
arart for the British resident and other
grandest guests were placed at the
disposal of the president for week,
horses were always kept saddlcd for
him and his party, and a guard OF
honor attended him. The president was
treated as what is called technically ga
first-class guest" there being four classes.
This means at the close OF the Visit he was
presented with twenty-one pots OF sweet.
meats. seven rich cloths, and $500 rupees.
II is rumored. however, that Colonel Olcott 5
visit to Kashmir did not end so pleasantly,
bv reason OF his failure to cure the RI
jah's disease. The missionaries are not
so far above human rs not to grOan
at all this, nor Colonel Olcott so far re-
moved from old New England Calvinism
as not to find their groans part OF the en-
ioyment Of his Adyar paradise. so infer
from finding Il sharp missionary comment
on the colOners pageants quoted in The
IheOSOphiSt and ascribed TO jealousy.
Apart from all interests OF theo>opby, and
none the less If if should be proved a hum
bug, this American might we'll be regarded
by the English in India as missionary
who has shown how much may be accom-
piShed among llinduS by kindness, SYM
pathy, the absence OF all arrogance and
respect for their religious traditions.
