cleaned and pressed and when l saw her on
the street, could hardly repre=s my sd-

The bs que and draperiss were OF the
cashmere and the skirt and decorations
were of the velvet The skirt was fished
With q narrow box-plaiting OF cashmere
and had long pointed drsperies of the same
in trout, with bluhsnt effect in the back.
On the left side, the drapery was sllow-d
10 open with eyelets worked in il and q
narrow ribbon run through. E.ch inter-
lacing wss finish 4 with bow OF satin rib
bun with a seal aud gilt plor-plon on the
ends. The neck was finished with hisu
dog collar of velvet fastened with gilt
buckle. The sleeves b d narrow velvet
cuffs. A shori wrap, rather lose IN front
and much shirred in the back was m ade OF
the cashmere, the veivet collar snd the
broad velvet ribbon being its only sugges-
ton of trimming, with this suit was worn
a brown felt hat, with a velvet brim and
Prince Charlie plaid scarf with group OF
scarlet birds with gil, legs, feet and beak'
perched directly 10 front. Around her neck
and showing q little above the dog collar
was a scarf 10 match the hat. Her gloves
were tan and she carried the cutest little
velvet muff, lined with plaid and il had
pair of the scarlet birds fastened at the CEN

pIons.

Well. owing to Wills illness and the
growing care of little Bessie and the baby,
have not had much leisure for reading
but still I have managed to read "The
prophet of the grea, smoky mountain" now
running in the Atlantic. OF course you
have heard that the author "Charles Eg-
bert Crsddock" is not a man as every one
supposed but woman, or girl rather hail
ing from It. Louis. Will says her work l;
very excellent particularly in the descrip-
tive, but don't know as L an so lond q
