For all flowers died when Eve left Paradise,
And all the world was howerless awhile
Until q little child was laid in earth:
Then from its grave grew violets for it's ewes
, And from it's lips rose petals for it's smile;
AND SO all flowers from that chid's death took

A DEEP bright shade of red, known
as cold red, is the favorite shade at
present, and is like the poppy-red
which was so long popular. Ecru,
beige, brown and green are the colors
OF the season.
BLACK lace skirts are worn over
plainly gathered silk petticoats with a,
watered ribbon sash of the same color
as the silk Sometimes the bodice is
| OF the silk covered with lace, but
usually fancy silk ones are worn.
| A STRIKING ball dress has the bodice
and penals of the richest yellow satin,
outlined with skeleton leaves in terra
Gotta filoselle, while to carry out the
harmonious blending of color, the
skirt and draperies are of deep terra
Gotta tulle.
CHAMoIs leather gloves are exceed
1ngly popular at the seaside. They
are useful in warding off tan, and dur
able, as little ammonia water will
cleanse them effectively. They must
be washed and dried upon the hands
or they will shrink.
The princess dress promises to be
one OF the leading styles for house
wear, and may be made deliberately
and OF very costly materials or Of any
inexpensive fabric and in simple man
ner. The petticoat or front part of
the dress usually is of contrasting ma
terial to the bodice and back.
The divine rule of doing as we would
be done by is never better put to the
test than in matters of good and evil
speaking. We may sophisticate with
ourselves and upon the manner in
which we should wish to be treated
under many circumstances; but every
body recoils instinctively from the
thought of being spoken i'll of in his
absence.-Leigh Hunt.
! WHEN two or more females board
car at the same time it's a sign that
they are going to quarrel as to who
will pay the fare, and that they
| will finally end in the Philadelphia
plan. When homely girl and q pref
ty girl walk along the street together
it's a sure sign that the homely girl
will carry the parasol, and that she
will cover the pretty girls face with it..

THE vests and sleeves of some black
dresses are a mass of Jet pendants
that jingle with every movement of
the wearer. For summer this style Of
ornamentation has stiff, heavy ap-
pearance, the reverse of pleasant.
Sofas, arm chairs and rugs are apt to
be covered with bits of glass that have
become detached from these garments.
Sometimes the glass gets under foot
and crackles when it is stepped upon
as if one we're walking On eggs.
LACE continues to be worn with a
prodigality that but few years ago
would have seemed the height Of ex-
travagance, and thanks to the new
marvellous reproductions of the most
valuable varieties, a most beautiful
effect can now be achieved at a moder-
ate expense that would cost a small
fortune were the laces as expensive as
they appear. On full-dress occasions
lace bonnets are more fashionable
than any others, and roses are their
garniture.
For some time past Mrs. Fitzhugh
Lee and Mrs. John S. Wise have been
guests at the Hygeia Hotel at Old
Point Comfort. The news of Gen.
Lees nomination for governor of Vir-
ginia reached the hotel when the guests
were generally at dinner. AS soon as
she heard it, Mrs. Wise arose from the
table, passed over to Mrs. Lee and
congratulated her, saying: ''Mrs. Lee,
[ only regret that both our husbands
cannot be elected governor of Virginia
at the same time."- Washington Star.
EVERY year sees some brilliant ami
line dyes that are periodically brought
out for the benefit of a class of people
who are semi-barbarous in the matter
of color, and in every assembly, how
ever select and fashionable it may be,
there are always a few women clad in
glaring shade of s'royaP' purple, an
aggressive one Of indigo blue, or a too
assertive tint of green. Chartreuse is
the latest sinner in this respect,
this color being a brilliant me-
dunn shade, whose intensity charms
the detective taste Of the people al
luded to above.
THE only materials for salad dress
ing, says the London Globe, are pure
olive oil, white wine vinegar, common
salt, and white or black pepper, with a
suspicion, but only a suspicion, of
tarragon or of garlic, or of both, to
impart, not a flavor, but a suggestion.
How this is to be done depends upon
the skill of the mixer. The best salad
dressers in the world are the walters
at cheap French restaurants. They
take large spoon and lovingly rub it
with a piece of garlic; then they put
in two drops OF tarragon; then they
put into thespoon pepper and salt, and
modicum OF white wine and vinegar;
then they fill the spoon up with olive
oil, and whisk it's contents around
with fork until they are impartially
distributed upon the bowl below. So
much for the mixing of salad-dressing,
which ought never to have in it cream,
or yolk of egg, or meat sauce, 1t
