IN EVERY STYLE.

Dresses For Balls and Dresses For Chill
dren-Something to Please Everyone.
Embroidered tulle is the fabric for
ball dresses, and is shown in all deli
cate tints of cream, rose, or blue, with
detached sprays of flowers wrought in
dark floss or with gilt or silver threads,
and sometimes with both, and also
Eeined with fine arrasene. French
modistes use faille under tulle, but the
preference here is for satin, as its lus-
ter enhances the beauty of the thin
tulle, and in many cases the corsage is
bertha of tulle at the top, The low
corsage of tulle dresses is decidedly
round, being round at the top and
round at the waist line, where Swiss
belt or sash of some kind completes it.
One pretty bodice has the tulle put or.
in folds at the top of the low corsage
and crossed to the waist in surplice
fashion; rows of daisies, or a single
row of larger roses, pass around the
neck, and the short skirt has a border
of these flowers massed at the foot;
this is seen in plain white tulle over
pale green or blue satin, and recalls
the simple dresses worn by debutantes
ten or fifteen years ago. The short
skirts are made in ballet style, with
fiounce after founce of tulle, each lap
ping over that below it for the front
breadths, while the back is in waterfall
pleats of doubled Lyons tulle, falling
straightfro the waist to the foot. EN-
broidered null and plain null trimmed
with Valcenciennes lace are still worn
by young girls, but the fancy now is for
silken fabrics, such as silk-muslin or
Chambery gauze. There are also fewer
white wool dresses worn this season,
as these were general wear for after
Moons in the summer; there are, how
ever, some fine embroidered nuns veil
ings that are as effective as China Grape
when trimmed with the point Espagnol
laces.
The little Gretchen dresses are made
up for small girls who walk in bridal
professions, or to wear at afternoon
parties. The full round skirt gathered
to the waist may be made of an en-
broidered founce, or it may have three
or four hem-stitched tucks above
hem, or there may be three little frills
VI lbce dEOuuu IT, Inc plain TOu0u
waist of muslin is cut half-low and
round in the, neck, and has revers of
embroidery or lace to fall over care
lessly; the front has piece of embroid-
cry or else tucks inserted, and is banded
across three times with white satin
ribbon an inch wide, tied in small
bow at the end of each strap. A wide
sash of the muslin is sewed in the
under-arm seams, and tied behind in
large bow, giving very bouffant eff
feet. This low waist is worn over
high guimpe of muslin, trimmed with a
full frill around the neck, and made
with long sleeves gathered in at the
wrist by band of ribbon, and finished
with frill. White camel's-hair or
bison-cloth dresses for larger girls are
also made in this peasant style, and are
finished around the skirt with tucks, or
with rows of silver or gilt braid. The
waist may be made high, and the
guimpe only outlined with swan s-down
and with the gilt or silver braid. -Har-

FREEDOM IN DRESS.


Let Every One Enjoy and Adhere to Their
Own Ideas of Dress.
There are standbys or peculiar insti-
buttons of dress in different places very
curious and amusing. All over the
West, in thinly settled regions, the wo-
men adhere to the long sun bonnet
and the men to an easy-going style of
garment which does not vary in fash
ion. The Acadians of Louisiana, peo-
pie who live in the country and seldom
visit the cities, preserve a primitive
style of dress, though once in while
one visits the city and introduces a
new fashion. There is an amusing
anecdote of woman returning home
with hoopskirt. Such thing had
never been seen in the village and all
were wild to procure the new fashion.
Hoops were then just going out and q
storekeeper made quite an amount of
money by selling off his old stock at
increased figures. 1t is a mistake to
believe that only well-dressed people
are vain; many sloven is as proud of
his appearance as faultlessly attired
exquisite. The Puritan gloried as
much in ugliness of garment as the
cavalier in his costly attire, the sans
culote in his disgusting rags as the aris-
tocrat in his lace rutiles and perfumed
linen. And how we gradually associ-
ate animate with inanimate thingsl
Fancy Mr.. Piekwick without specta-
Giles! The noble ''Injun" without war
paint and dirty blanket! John China
man sans pigtail! And Cleopatra in
an ulster! Anda variety of incongrui-
ties. We confess to cosmopolitanism;
let every one enjoy and adhere to their
own ideas of dress. Philadelphia Times.

! THE only Lucius Swift in the world-and
we've got him-with heart full of sorrow at
| the perverse wickedness of the world, which
stubbornly refuses to be as good as he and his
kind, made a pilgrimage to Washington to
complain to his patron saint that Grandpa
Jones wasn't playing fair at all, and was hog
ging everything in the indianapolis postoffice
for the benefit of Democrats. Mr.. Swift,
with that confidence in Democracy character
istic Of people who are feebe-minded, dreamed
that Democracy had been transformed
into an angel of light, and that the word
reform had been written in fire across its
brow. Wien Grandpa Jones proceeded to do
| what every sane man knew he would do, Mr.
| Swift was filled with dismay, and ran to tell
the President all about it, and how selfish he
was, and how unholy Mr.. Cleveland seems
to have listened to what he had to say, and
then, doubtless, patted him on the head told
him he was good little boy, and to run right
home before dark. Mr.. Jones is guilty as
charged, but what Of it? What are you 60
ing to do about it, He is postmaster at In
dianapolis, and is q Democrat from the days
when Democracy was even rottener than it is.
He is a Democrat and suits Democrats. The
half dozen mugwumps in this city will 'have
their trouble for their pains" in attempting to
interfere where they have no business. Mr..
Swift may congratulate himself that the Presi-
dent did not turn him over his knee and spank

KELLEY. of Virginia, sah is every bit as
much an ass now as he was before he was
dreamed of in connection with any appoint
ment whatever, and proceeds to demonstrate
it at Paris, where lie is now waiting for assist
ance to help him out of the awkward position
in which his ill-advised utterances have in
volved him. Interviewed by a reporter of the
Paris Gaulois, he blandly says: cit is per-
fectly true that have been rejected by the
Austrian government, but until the question
is definitely settled the utmost reserve is i'm
posed on met Was there ever more thor
oughly innocent noodle? Braying like a don
key, he protests that it is imposed on him to
be discreet. Appointed as diplomatic, he
chatters like nagpie about state secrets.
Mr.. Kelley confidently tells the representative
of the Gaulois that he may feel fattered at his
reception, since he (Keiley) had not only de-
clined an interview from the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse, but had even refused to see its
representative. It is said that the Austrian
ambassador at Paris was greatly amused by the
child like, impulsive Mr.. Kelley. Luckily,
the Austrian court knows that he is not a rep
resentative American.

self boiled in hell under given contingencies,
the curiosity of the public in regard to this
newly announced devotional tendency is likely
to be painful It is also rather distressing to
be compelled to chill the Posts enthusiasm by
noting the fact that other party organs with
even greater facilities for getting at the truth,
do not approve of the President, nor tender
him their sympathy; also, that the standard
of public service has not been raised, and that
numerous demagogues and tricksters have
been given place. Mr.. Cleveland may DO all
that is pure, noble, unselfsh and patriotic, as
the Post would have US believe but it shoull
adhere more strictly to truth in other state
ments if it wishes these to be accepted without
question. While the President is calling a
halt in the departments he should extend the
order to his injudicious Washington champion,
which is doing him no service, but rather an
injury by its frantic efforts to defend his
course.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-07-22

THE time is not so far in the past as to be
forgotten, at least by others than himself,
when Mr.. Cleveland was indust1iously and
persistently engaged in asking his Democratic
feilowcitizens to put him into Office of one
kind and another from hangman up. At
present his chief occupation seems to be that
of turning away, with insulting remarks, the
same fellow citizens now in pursuit of office
themselves. He is also given to entertaining
his callers with coarse jokes on the hungry
members of his party who naturally look for
some gratitude on his part, but whom, if his
not altogether admiring party organs are to be
believed, he stigmatizes as cursed plague
and consigns to nameless fate, or wishes for
the cholera to take them The thought per-
haps occurs to some Of these dissatisfied or
gans and irate and vengeful ofiice-seekers that
soon, in the Presidents case, the old adage
mus be verified, that 'beggars mounted run
their horses to death"

yet what is the residuum! What man of signal
ability has bean appointed to any office what

thought to encourage instruction in the

ignorance finding that he had brother in Will

and when he could not get in there, with that
absurd obstinacy which is his main greatness he
sent him to Austria, on the theory that if he was
not good enough for an inferior power, he was
quite good enough for superior one. Poor Kelley
is next to ruined, and ruined by this dull peform

PRESIDENT CREWS lenient policy will
have to be abandoned in the interest of JUS
tice. He is strenuously opposed to capital
punishment, and has made it a rule to pardon
such as had been sentenced to the gui!lotine,
whenever the circumstances Of the crime
would admit; at present, however, there are
no less than eighteen condemned men in the
prison in the narrow Rue Roquette, some
of them having done murder for
the smallest sums of money, having
become SO reckless that they took no
pains to ascertain beforehand whether their
victim had much or little on his person. In
one instance the condemned killed man and
realized but four cents for the crime. With
perfect sang froid he remarked to q companion
