is simple, although various materials enter
| into it's construction. Over q silk founda-
! ton there is arranged full straight drapery
OF tulle, in two parts. trimmed with bands

of Silver-beaded tulle. 1t is prettily fin
ished with a sash of wide white MORE rib
bon. fashioned in knot at the waist. An
original style marks the low corsaga of this
dress. White silk is arranged to form the
left side, both in front and back. crossing
over to meet the other half, which is draped
with beaded tulle. Sprays of silver lilies
decorate this dainty corsage across the front
One Of several pink dresses noticed is a
tulle, with which silver embroidery is
effectively combined A full train of tulle
is set off with a MORE ribbon sash, which
falls from the side seams OF the corsage.
Tulle, embroidered in silver, forms a
drapery raised high at the left side and
brought across the front of tine petticoat,

of satin prettily trim the side, below a
panier, edged with embroidery. The
effect of

in shades of pink and purple, that extends
across the front drapery, is very brilliant.
The idea is carried out in the decoration of
| the bodice, a bunch of those bell-like bios
SONS being disposed on one shoulder.
Beaded tulle over pink satin forms the low
corsage, which is cut pointed in front and
back.
There is nothing modern in the style Of
red dinner dress, which is decidedly pic
turesque. Over a white satin brOcade petit
coat there is a long drapery of heavy red
silk that loses itself on the right side in the
train. More of the white silk is revealed
On the other side for the drapery is raised
and turns back in a reverse toward the
front. The silk on either side of the open
ing is trimmed with square-shaped orna-
ments of gold braid and garnets. No trim
ming is needed to add to the beauty OF the
rich silk that forms graceful folds in a full
train. The red silk bodice, pleated at the
back, has white silk front, draped with a
tchu of white lace, outlined with gold, and
elbow sleeves trimmed with lace. A grde
of gold, studded with garnets, is in keeping
with this effective gown. the idea of which
| is suggested by an old picture.
Conspicuous among house dresses is a
matinee of the daintiest and richest style
imaginable. Pale-pink plush forms the
main portion, including the train, which is
beautifully trimmed with fringe of lambs
wool, while the waist is extended in long
tabs at the side, edged with wide yellow
lace. Between the train and the drapery
narrow ruffles of pale-pink silk embroidery
and lace form an elaborate panel The
front of the petticoat is filled in with length
wise folds of embroidery and lace, and
pink ribbons trim the waist of this elegant
gown.

How to stew oysters.

From the Caterer.
Take twenty-five bearded oysters (fresh
ones are always better than salt, for they do
not shrivel in the cooking) strain them from
the liquor, and put them in bowl and add
to them teaspoonful of lemon juice. Then
put the liquor of the oysters, together with
the boards, into a saucepan, adding little
whole mace. four or five peppercorns a
pinch of cayenne pepper, a very little grated
nutmeg and piece of lemon-rind the size of
nickel" Place the saucepan over the
fire; let the liquor simmer very gently for
fifteen minutes; then strain it, and thcken
it with teaspoonful of -four, in which an
ounce of butter has been smoothly rubbed.
Now add a gill of cream and stir the liquor
over a gentle fire until it becomes thick and
smooth. Then put in the oysters, and let
the pan remain only long enough for them
to become heated through. Do not allow
them to boil or they will shriyel and be-
come tough. AS soon as they are heated,
have ready some slices of toast on a hot
dish, and over these pour the oysters, with
their gravy, and serve Immediately.
An oyster stew with few mushrooms
added is always an acceptable dish, at
luncheon, OF, indeed, at most other times
We have discovered, however, that, in lieu
of the mushrooms, slices of cucumbers can
be used to advantage and almost success
fully rival, in point of excellence, the mush-
rooms. Prepare the cucumbers this way:
Select a good-sized one, such as would be
used at table. Peel it and boil it in sailed
water for ten minutes. While hot cut it
into thin slices, slightly salt and pepper
each, and drop them into the stew five
minutes before taking it up.
Oysters-or, more properly speaking, the
liquor in which they are stewed-s should
seldom be cooked more than fifteen min
utes.

The Girl of the South.

Gen. Roberts of the Washington Herald
has this to say of the female population Of
the South:
From where the tide washes the Poto-
mac and Chesapeake beach; from the pure
streams that flow from ice-cold Kentucky
springs in the bluegrass land; from the
banks of the far off Southern rivers. where
the ever-moaning pines sung her lullaby
there comes to the nations capital a type Of
American girl of whom my poor pencil is
not worthy. Not very well educated, per-
haps, for she grew up just as her birthland
was healing from the scars of savage war,
she seems to know-by instinct, perhaps
all that makes the sex adorable and worthy
of love and honor. She does not read
much. for she has not been able to get the
books. She knows nothing of the renais-
sance in art, and mayhap has never heard
Of Ruskin, but when she has overcome her
shynesss she can talk intelligently and
sometimes with perception that astonishes,
and listen appreciatively. She could not
give you any of the rules of dress that
modern art has laid down, but her costumes
are chosen with born good taste that is
never at fault.
The Southern girl shines brightest at
home. She has not forgotten the old-time
respect that children should have for their
mothers who gave them life, and the grace
full affection in which she holds the gray
haired woman who kept brave heart
amid the horrors of war and in the sicken-
ing days of poverty and privation that fol-
lowed in its train, and. though she had all
this to bear, has taught her young daughters
lessons of self-respect, of courage in mis-
fortune, that can never be efaced. Those
of true, modest womanhood she did not
need to be taught, for they were inherent

avenue she is as distinctly. recognizable as
though she were marked From Georgia. or

a MESSAGE OF LOVE.
Little Willie on my knee.

Little Willie on my knee,
Blowing bubbles, said to me,
"Papa, dear, if 1 should blow
One big bubble full of love,
Would it go
Up TO angel-land above?
And would darling sister know
That it came from brother dear,
Waiting, oh, so lonesome here?"
Leaning DER the sill, he blew,
And the bubble slowly grew,
Till. at last. with love made light,
Rising DER the roof it sped
Out of sight
Then my little Willie said,
Gazing up with strange delight:
''Yes, dear papa, there it goes
GOD viii see that sister knows"

How TO Make Good Coffee.

COr. new I OK Times.
Buy the best coffee and grind it to the
consistency of ordinary cornmeal. Into a
French teapot put an ounce of coffee for
every person. One pound of coffee will
make 16 cups, and no more. Have every
thing clean, and as soon as the water in the
teakettle begins to boil moisten the coffee
gently. and leave it to soak and sw III for
three minutes; then add a little more water:
don't be In hurry: continue to add water
until you have obtained not more than a
large coffee cup full of the extract. If care
fully done the entire virtue of the coffee
will be in the cupful of liquor at the end of
five minutes. For four persons use quart
of pure milk and have it piping hot; heat
the large cups by pouring into them hot
water; now divide the coffee into the four
cups, each of which will be one-quarter
full; fill with the boiling milk. This is pure
breakfast coffee. the coffee of the gods, of
which no man after drinking would be so
base as to call for second cup. He that
drinketh it this morning will be unhappy if
he fails to get it tomorrow morning. But
these instructions must be followed to the
letter.

Something Lovely i'm Gowns.

One of the most superb gowns this sea-
son is combination of pink satin, white
lace, beaded in silver and silver embroidery.
The front drapery of pink satin is cut up in
deep point and falls away at the right
side; it is ornamented with an elaborate
embroidery of silver and beads and a fringe
to match falls over the lace petticoat,
which is rather lace dTapery over silk.
This silver-beaded lace is again revealed at
the left side, the satin drapery above form
ing smaller point over it and panel Of
silver and bead embroidery On pink satin
intervenes between the side drapery and
the train. The satin, draped in pleats to
form side paniers, joins the train of the
same, which is buoffant at the top and ex-
tends in folds that need no trimming to add
to the rich effect of the satin. The cor
sage, cut pointed front and back, which is
laced, is prettily made with satin crossing
the front diagonally and caught with bow
of creamy white ribbon at the left side;
silver embroidery trims the edge of the low
neck, while dainty rufde of lace falls over
the arm.
FLORAL GARNITURE.
Floral garniture is not used more effec-
lively on any costume than on white ball
! dress, combination of silver beaded tulle
and plain tulle. The petticoat is otpa-
mented with sprays of silver lilies of the
valley and green leaves, beginning at the
right side and graduated in length beneath
yelling OF silyer-beaded tulle, and drap-
cry of white silk fills in the space above,
falling in point at the left side. A pleat-
ing Of bands of tulle and crepe, set off with
punches of the same flowers, gives full
finish to the edge of the skirt. The effect

the
OBJECT OF HER PREFERENCE.
This was a era y-haired man Of perhaps
so years, with a figure that was still eie-
giant. and clad in most fashionable attire.
He is notable as an old beau in New York,
and a man of great reputation for success
with my sex. He first attracted attention
many years ago-before my time-not only
by the elaborate attention which he be-
slowed upon his attire, but because he
never ventured out at any time of the year
without having small red rosebud and
geranium leaf in his button-hole. The rose
and the leaf were invariably similar in size,
and one DAYS boutonniere was SO much
like another's that it began to seem as
though the nosegay of the beau was wax.
It was not, however. The man in question
has deep-seated convictions about things
which are and are not proper, and having
( decided in his youth about the proper size
! for q bud and geranium, he made
a contract with florist to supply his de-
. mands BY special messenger every day.
This agreement has held good ever since.
| When the custom of wearing button-hole
bouquets was not widespread the persistent
appearance of the elegant rOunder, with
! his solitary leaf and the single red rose,
was curiosity unusual. Now that the
! custom has grown into wide popularity the
interest lags. This is never seen with
men, and seldom with women. His income
is ample, his apartments in Madison avenue
are magnifcently furnished. and he has
had regular table and chair at Delmonlco' S
for many years. He meets men at dinner
sometimes, and chats with them in the
cafe, I am told, but he never walks or
drives with them. When he walks along
the street he has eyes only for girls, and he
affects an entire contempt for actresses,
who are too common and too much accus-
toned to alteration, he says, to appreciate
mans attention. Nor is this trim, we'll

Fresh Fashion Notes.

House shoes and slippers, in all colors,
are shown in soft, dull, undressed kid.
| Plush hats are very fashionable, but more
especially for young girls and children.
| The fancy for combining bronze and sal
mon pink will, it is said, lead to the adop-
ton of pink hose with bronze shoes before
the season is over.
Quite popular are the soft felt hats of al
most masculine style; wide MORE ribbon
goes round the crown and long, smooth
feather comes out on one side.
There is new feather trimming so
closely resembling natural beaver that it is
difficult to detect the difference at any dis
tance 1t is very durable absolutely water
proof, and while very thick and firm is ex-
tremely light.
A novelty is long cloak of silver-gray
plush lined with cardinal faille Franchise,
and has very long, loose sleeves that hang
nearly to the bottom of the garment. II is
designed especially for carriage and evening
wear and resembles ostrich feathers in their
natural colors.
Dull green ard blues are much in vogue.
None but the very fair of complexion adopt
them; brunettes should wear red, purple,
copper-color and such warm tints, which
are also quite fashionable. Pinks and
bright reds are all the rage for evening
toilet, and for walking costumes rich browns
and maroons are altogether as mnch in
favor as telegram-blue or moss-green.
Black rosary beads are extensively used
in mourning for millinery and dress and
wrap garniture, and with most satisfactory
effect They are among the most desirable
of the new fashionable trimmings, as they
are in various sizes and shapes and in glossy
and dull finish, so that they produce in
skillful hands most artistic results. An
attractive costume for light mourning is
shown in camels'-har fabric with a
handsome panel and full waist and sleeve
trimmings in watered silk set on in APP
pliQue with outlining of small rosary beads.
An attractive skating-dress for a blonde
is made of green billiard cloth. The skirt
is trimmed with fiat gold braid. 1t is laid
in box-plaits with the braiding pattern on
the outside of the plaits. There is a short
drapery. very close. and straight back
breadths with a pattern in gold across the
lower. edge of the hem. The close-fttlng
basque has similar braiding. and small
tassels of gold bullion on the points Of the
position back. The short jacket has a
braiding pattern wrought on the front and
pocket lids, and the garment is trimmed
with golden beaver A turban of green
velvet with band of beaver, and muf to
match, complete this jaunty costume.

The Common Ground.

The Philadelphia Press of the 18th
inst, contains the following interest
ing article on all men who believe
that there should be a fair vote and
an honest count at every ballot-box
in the land. 1t says
There is one purpose which all
wings of the Republican party desire
to accomplish, no matter what differ
ences may have divided them in the
past. This is the necessity of estab-
fishing fair and honest elections in
every state in the Union. Until this
object is attained, the people cannot
give an impartial verdict upon any
question of governmental policy, and
consequently until ii is settled, and
settled rightly, all other issues must
wait.
The leading place which this topic
occupies in the speeches of prominent
Republicans, and the interest which
its discussion invariably eXcites, show
how strong a hold it has taken upon
the public mind. The injustice done
to the Northern voter by the frauds
and intimidation practised in the
states of the South is too palpable to
escape the attention Ofany intelligent
man in the nation. That it will be
permitted to continue is libel upon
their sense of right and justice.
AT present minority Of voters in
the Southern States, aided by intim-
idation and combined with a minor
ity in the Northern States, controls
the presidency, with all its vast pow
erS. and the lower House of Congress.
The representation granted the South
for its colOred population, who are not
allowed to vote, gave Cleveland his
majority in the Electoral College and
the Democratic party its majority in
the House of Representatives And
so, by exercising the colored mans
right of suffrage as well as his own,
the white man in the South can exert
double or treble the influence a
Northern voter can in shaping the
laws and directing the policy of the
general Government.
To right this wrong and place every
voter in the land upon an equal foot
ing is the object towards which the
Republican party has rigidly set its
face. The Indignation excited by the
recent appointment to Government
position of an abettor and endOrser of
political murder in Mississippi was
one evidence only of the peoples de-
termination that they will no longer
submit tamely to this gross injustice.
