Proud. Even if Poor,

The welded couple were of poor but
honest parents, and the bride was a laun-
dry woman. To give the requisite ecIot
to the proceedings, therefore, they were
unable to enlist much extraneous aid
which had to be paid for; so the resources
of the laundry had to be utilized. The
wedding coach was constructed of a
clothes barrow, with an inverted washtub
as chair of state for the blushing bride.
Three donkeys of the establishment were
harnessed tandem fashion, and, thus pro-
~fessionally surrouhded, the laundress
started on her journey to the married
state.

the latter may appear a little more like

We are not speaking of the wear Of
slippers during the hot and sultry
months Of summer, but the common
practice among women of wearing
them exclusively around the house.
Men are fond of DOMINIC the dressing
gown and slippers in the evening after
the chores are done, but they do not
wear them around their work. AL
though they may be a rest and a
change then, something that will sup
port the ankles is very useful and
essential. 1t is a great inconvience
too. to be obliged to change ones shoes
to go out on al errand or to step out
doors. Women would often be more
willing to take walks were it not for
the trouble of getting ready. Not to
dispense with slippers altogether, for,
as we have said, they are often useful.
we think the general health of women
would be improved 10y wearing high
shoes more and slippers less.

Fashion Notes,

Low walking shoes are much worp
this summer.
Linen-fnish percales and prints are
novelties for hummer wear.
A diamond spur with a ruby lash
is a favorite design for a lady's lace
pin.
Fans of large and unique forms are
the only ones that should be used for
wall decorations.
The rage for color in ornaments is
the same as that in every other di-
rection this season.
Arabian, Moorish, and Egyptian
household fancies are all the rage for
London interiors.
Mittens and Isle thread gloves have
driven giants de Suede and kid from
the field until fall.
Ch~artreuse is a color that embraces
many shades ST green, from old bottle
to pale cress green.
Large bows of white ribbon or OF
piece goods, generally soft silk, adorn
many summer frocks.
Embroidery, flowers. feathers and
| tirsel are the combinations found in
dressy summer bonnet.
Absinthe and pale coral is a French
/ color combination much in favor on
the other side at present.
The day OF much-draped, much-cut-
up, hounced, pleated, shirred, and
rufied dresses is gone by.
To look well, tinsel braid must be of
the finest quality, and must be put ON
by an artist %embroiderer.
Ecru canvas etamine and dark green
velvet or velveteen are combined in
the handsomest travelling suits, which
must be tailor-made, of course.
Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are
mixed together to form a fashionable
medley of color in all sorts of pins,
bracelets, rings andother adornments.
The stuff of which a dress is made
is of small moment compared with
the cut and make, which must be now
a-days British, and by an English
tailor.
There are ladies, and fashionable
women, too, who utterly refuse te
wear tinsel, high hats OR bonnets. bus
ties or high coiffures. but they are thu
exception, not the rule.
Tailor cut and made suits are mucf
more important as stamping tn
fashionable prestige of the wearel
than costly fabrics made up by dress
makers of even fine ability.
Black silk braid is used as a trim
ming and binding for all cloth dresse
of whatever color, and the button
should be black also, but If preferred
| braid and buttons may match the dres

In a Hurry,

Did youe V notice a woman in a hurry:
She goes along dccorously for a little
time. Suddenly she makes a squirt, runs
about twenty yards, slows down painting,
and if you just watch the man walking
leisurely on the other side of the street
you will find he'll get to the corner of the
block before she does, and she is out OF
breath at that.
