Yokes drawn on cords are to be USED
again for soft summer silks.
Green cloth full dress kilt suits are
very fashionable for small boys.
Jet and other head embroideries arr
worn to excess here and on the other
side.
There is less gold and gilt used on
summer hats THAI on those for spring
wear.
Bonnets seem to have reached theiI
greatest height, for this season al
least.
Black serge trimmed with black
| soutache braid is the fashionable
costume for the early seaside all-day
wear.
White and very light toilets are
now the best evidence of distinction
and the refinement. which accompanies
cultivation.
Dress fans are of transparent gauze,
painted, but in these also the black
and cream or delicate tinted ones are
alone worth the purchase money.
Most young ladies prefer the New,
market jacket with the tailor. made
suit to the short little dolman viste OF
mantelet of cloth, broche or velvet.
This is quite a year of white lilac.
The flower Is used in the most lavish
profusion upon dresses and IN
bouquets, the latter, of course, being
real and the former artificial.
Woollen lace is quite the success OF
the season. 1t is sold not only in
borders for tiounces but also. In widths
by the piece, in which case 1t is called
1aize, and employed for dresses over a
silk lining.
A new style of hat for ladies comes
from Paris in the shape of gilt or
steel helmets adorned with waving
feathers, and also hats made of the
bark of trees with a whole group of
vegetation by way Of trimming.
Charming walking dresses of deli

five or six years, with large, trimmed
white or cream capotes.
Examines striped with velvet in
many colors are extensively used for
young ladies' toilets. They consist of
full, straight skirts and waists cut up
on the hips, with small points back
and front. The backs of the skirts
are covered with a large bow of
MORE, velvet or ottoman.
Changeable taffetas are improved by
the addition of an apron of en-
broidery in batiste, etamine or net
work. The ground of this work is in
crossed designs, Ss5newhat like the
ground of guipure Renaissance. The
large flowers of fine ecru or gray
batiste are appliqued to the net and
embroidered over with heavy white
cotton. The leaves and branches are
lighter than the flowers.

Southern Eauestriennes.

In Dodge's "Patroclus and Pene-
LOPEZ occurs the following passage :
In this country the Southerner is the
most constantly in the saddle, and a
good rider in the sunny South is a
thoroughly good rider. But / have
often wondered at the number of poor
ones it is'possible to find in localities
where everybody moves about in the
saddle. Many men there, who ride all
the time, seem to have acquired the
trick of breaking every commandment
in the decalogue Of %equitation. Using
horses as a mere can of transporta-
ton seems sometimes to reduce the
steed to a simple beast of burden, and
equestrianism to the bald ability to sit
in the saddle as you would in an OK
cart.
/ think / have seen more graceful
equestriennes in the South than any
where else-than even in England.
But I must admit that all women who
ride well possess. such attractions for
me as perhaps to warp my judgment
in endeavoring to draw comparisons.
Who but a Paris could have awared
the applet
Although the Southern woman re-
fuses to ride the trot. she has a proper
substitute for 1t, and her seat is gem
orally admirable. Though [ greatly
admire a square trot well ridden in a
side-saddle, 1t is really the rise on this
gait which makes so many crooked fe-
male riders among ourselves and our
British cousins. This ought not to be
50; but ladies are apt to resent too
much severity in instruction, and with
out strict obedience to her master, a
lady never learns to ride gracefully
and stoutly. In the South, ladies ride
habitually, and moreover, a rack, single
foot, and eanter are not only graceful
but straight sitting PAGES for a wo-
man.
It is not to-day risking much, how
ever, to nrophesy that within the lapse
Of q little time our Eastern cities will
boast of as many clever Amazons as
are to be found in the South. Who can
contend chat our Yankee women have
not the intelligence, courage, vigor and
grace to rank with the riders Of any

Home Made Bustlos the Rest.

A New Orleans Times Democrat
reporter has interviewed the proprietor
Of a hustle establishmen and gather
ed from her many interesting par
~ticulars about a mysterious article of
feminine apparel. In her answer to
the question, "Wha style of bustles do
ladies like best p the expert furnished
a fresh illustration of the power of
The press:
To tell you the truth, sir, the
home made article gives more salts
faction than any other. l mean the
newspaper hustle, which can be made
in q few moments, and does not cost
q cent. A great many ladies win
wear no other kind, because when the
papers are properly wrapped around a
piece of baling Irvine it will retain it's
shape. no matter how severely it is
crushed, whereas a close seat in a
street car is death to a wire hustle,
and that is the reason why ladies when
they ride in the cars spread their
dresses over the seat and usurp as
much room as they can.
Crime Factor of 81 WOmanly Character.
"What are the prime factors of a
womanly character?" Gail Hamilton
answers:
/. lmagination-to enable her to put
herself instantly in another's place.
2. Sympathy, which co~nstrains her
TO make that other happy. This con-
stitutes the art and the fact of being
agreeable, which is a first duty Of a
woman.
3. Intellectual activity, SO much
swifter than mans as to be almost diff
ferent in kind and to be called by an
other name-instinct.
4. Some subtle moral superiority
which gives her a special taste for and
power over humanity, involving a
special distaste for weakness in mate
rial things. From this it follows that
woman is the natural umpire of soci-
ETY., the ideal standard of man. Her
purity should, therefore, be not only
spotless, but commanding. She ought
not only to be high-minded, but to ok
act high-mindedness. It is not enough
chat she be not degraded by society.
She ought to exalt society.

is notable increase ysar by year in
the amount of wheat supplied from
India and Australia to the English
market, and this will probably PR .
vent any very great increase in the

MINISTERS.

There are ministers and ministers,
but after all, are not the people who
always find fault with this, certain
Y much tried and much enduring
Class of citizens, more to be condemn
ed than they?
One peculiarly constructed iDdivid-
ual will 60 to church and will COM
plain that "the minister has no fire,
no zeal, no energy" unless he rants
and raves as was the custom with
some of the good old orthodox minis
ters-God rest their souls-when he
was young. Another will say that
the minister does "very well, indeed,
but he is too dramatic, too fond of
displaying his alocutional powers,
would prefer plain speaking, without
anything in the way of oratorical
Hourishes." And so these grumblers
60 on. They never pause to consider
that it is not so much the manner in
which truth is uttered, as it is the
truth itself.
What is the trick of voice, or face,
or gesture, if the heart that breaks
upon the lips of a minister is earnest
in the cause of bis Master, loyal and
anxious to obey to the best of his
knowledge, the commands, which to
him is the Deity Himself? There are
always people mean enough to ques-
ton the religion of even the minister.
There ia no margin for that minister's
humanity, he dare not walk or talk,
or disport himself in the social circle
with the freedom which belongs to
him by right, lest censorious eyes be
upon him, and eensorious tongues
assail him. What shamel For say
what we will, of the few who have
disgraced the cloth, society would
scarcely hold its fabric together, were
it not for the kindly, genial minister.
The minister who leaves his home, in
the &orm and darkness, perhaps, t,
say a prayer for, and offer consolation
to the dying; the minister who be-
slows his blessing on the.young people
who are about to tread life's pathway
hand in hand; the minister who
places on the brow of the tender babe.
the seal of baptism; the minister who
grows old and gray in the harness,
patiently and modestly, and whose
deeds have made 80 little show in the
world of men, that in their haste they
would pronounce them as naught, and
lastly, the minister, who as a minister,
has done his best and could do more.
