Thin Dresses,

Thin fabrics prevail this summer, saws
Harper's Bazaar, and it is an exception to
the rule to see heavy silks and satins
such as formerly were worn all through
the summer. At fashionable weddings
in the daytime or evening only few
elderly women wear rich brocades and
stiff faille, while the greater number,
especially Of young women, have dainty
and fresh toilets of simple fabrics. In
one instance a pink and white striped
muslin, and a pale rose-colored satteen
with many yards of Valenciennes lace
and bows of black velvet ribbon, did
effective duty among dresses of lace, of
gauze, and of China Grape. 1t is the
well-chosen color, the graceful fit, the
tasteful design, and the crisp, cool look
that give charm to summer toilettes.
For this reason hght-colored dresses are
worn in preference to she dark blue.

formerly as much used in the summer as

At the Queens Ball.

The London Truth says: May, who
was at the Queens ball on Friday night,
tells me that the young Princess Louise
looked painfully shy; she is not pretty,
but has gentle, pleasing and somewhat
serious expression She was dressed
very simply in pale-blue satin and tulle-
looped with clusters of cherry blossoms.
She wore no jewels save a couple of
aigrettes in her hair. Of the other deb
utantes, Lady Alexandra Leveson-
Cover wore a very becoming dress of
white satin and tulle, trimmed very
artistically with profusion of lilies of
the valley. The Princess of Wales looked
well in yellow satin embroidered with
silver and trimmed with silver lace. She
wore splendid tiara of diamonds. The
majority of the dresses were decidedly
in good taste and quiet. There were no
eccentricities or extremes of any kind.
The royalties danced briskly until supper
time. Prince George seemed to enjoy
himself, and he appears more at his ease
in society than his elder brother, who is
very awkward and shy. Mays husband
saws that he was struck by the remark
able absence of beauty. He complains
that he did not see one woman whose
face or figure could be remembered.

A Sflyer-ShOd Horse.

A visitor to the Westinghouse stables
in the East End, of Pittsburg, says {
local letter, sees among an array of hand
some blooded horses one of peculiar
beauty of color and carriage. Casua
notice is quickened into close inspection
when 1t is noticed that the horse never
moves. He is dead. Though lifeless,
he is, perhaps, the only horse In America
to-day which wears full set of solid
silver shoes.
Mrs. George Westinghouse is the
leader of West End fashionable life. Her
dresses are the costliest, her receptions
the most brilliant and her turnout the
finest in the city. Her husband is said
to have settled an income of $3.50, 900
per year pin money upon her. She is a
lady of artistic taste, and year ago she
decided upon a team of cream-colored
horses with flowing, snowy names. Such
horses are as rare as they are beautiful,
but Mrs. Westinghouse, nothing daunted,
set about to procure them. Four agents
were employed, and for months the
country was secuted and stables and
stock farms ransacked to find the silver
tipped horses.
AT last the team was turned over TO
their delighted mistress. They cost but
So, 900, but the expense of getting them
was enormous. Mrs. Westinghouse, early
in the use of her new acquisition, be-
came concerned as to what she should
do if one of them should die. The
agents who secured the first pair were
sent out to find third. They were sue
cessful, and soon the three beauties were
on friendly terms.
The strangest part of the story is, per-
haps, that what Mrs. Westinghouse
feared, the death of one of the original
pair, occurred but two weeks after the
third one had been acquired. So much
had Mrs Westinghouse been attached to
the horse that she ordered him sent to
New York to well-known taxidermist
to be stuffed There he was treated to
silver shoes and given as near as possible
a look of recognition, so that when his
mistress enters the stables none appears
more glad to see her than he.
The horse is groomed blanketed and
attended to as carefully as if alive. His
bed is always made and his manager al
ways full of hay.

WHAT HE publishes this paper
came out daily instead of weekly it is
quite likely its editor would be unable,
to go about unarmed. We think this
because we see so many chances to writei
smart observations about things that get
cold and grow old before the week rolls,
around, and we are therefore obliged to
let them pass unnoticed. This reminds
us to remark that great editor can
rarely, if ever, be fully appreciated, be-
cause his greatness, or at least his
wisdom, consists more largely in the
things he keeps out of his paper than in
those he actually publishes to the world.
