A FirSt-CIasS Bargain in Silk
and Wool Underwear.

The entire stock of Seconds in
Silk and Wool Underwear Of medium
weights for Ladies and Men from
one of the best manufacturers in the
country, at little over half the cost
of perfect goods. And to I'll iutcnts
and purposes these "Seconds are
perfect. They're just as good tor
wear, while even in looks they're
scarcely distinguishable from first
quality. Only an infm-> imal knot
here and there, or Il litt.a VA iatiOn
in a seam, to show where the imper-
fection has been fixed, and which
will be found if searched for, and
seldom otherwise.
This Silk and Wool knitted to-
gether makes most durable and plea
SAINT wearing Underwear. It's soft
and comfortable and nice N tgery
way, while if one considers It's sing
qualities it's cheaper than kinds which
cost less money-especially when it
can be bought for little over hall
value, as it can be now.
In this big lot Of "Secou.is" We have Iali"s

" Laughing Time" in Dress
Goods.

The time TO have New Dress Stuffs is
while they are new, and the time to laugh
is when everybody is pleased. We have
NO occasion to drop into minor keys.
Everybody seems delighted with the ele-
CANT Novelties our Buyer has brought over
from England, France and Scotland, and
our statesmen have been well received by
merchants in many sections of the country,
among whom they have distributed OVER
FORTY NEW STYLES, while we have
the same variety upon our counters. Yet we
understand that some of our largest city
stores haven't been able to show dozen yet.
As we said choice styles are scarce and
high in the foreign market now, and our
gathering is at its best.

Of what use is this troublesome GUS

tion, seeing with his ten thousand eyes
things that would pass unnoticed by us,
eagerly devouring his appropriate food.
This he finds in the smallest atoms al

to be noticed by the tidy housekeepers,
which otherwise would be permitted to
putrefy, communicating the air. We
may imagine that he circles about in

shall be convinced that he has an oh

is collected on his wings and head, for
as we see him light he scrapes his wings

It Is Girl Nature.

Now the propensity for wading which
is deeply implanted in the female bosom
is inexplicable. Unless girl has the
influenza or bunion she can not resist
the temptation to paddle about in the
salt water and get her clothing uncom-
fortably wet. This is subject full OF
interest to me from the casting aside Of
the shoes and stookigns to their resump-
ton. 1t is fact pretty generally
known in male circles that ladies prefer
sitting on the ground when pulling on
and off their stockings to occupying a
chair or bench. But having my doubts
as to the inflexibility of this rule I had
determined to convince myself by ex-
pertinent. After the setting of my
traps-to wit: the benches-I had not
long to wait. A bevy of young ladies,
one or two of whom recognized, came
trooping DON the beach, chatting and
laughing mefrily. They evidently won-
dered who had been kind enough to
place the benches there for their &C.
commodation, took possession of them
at once gleefully, confessed that they
were just too delightful for anything.
and seemed perfectly and unrestrain-
edly happy. 1 was rejoiced at having
dsproved moIdy theory. but alas, my
satisfaction was short-lived. When my
guests made up their minds that it was
time to wade they sprang from the
benches sat On the beach. and tugged
away at shoes and stockings in the old
fashion. The following day, resolving
to give my experiment every chance. I
had my hireling bathman strew guam
tity of broken bottles, empty oyster
cans, and rubbish of various kinds
along the beach and sat under my un-
brella and watched. The girls came
down about the same hour, seemed a
little dismayed at first, but rallying set
to work industriously. and soon had a
clear space upon which they squatted,
not taking the least notice Of the
benches this time. Then I put up my
umbrella and moved sadly away. Eve
must have sat her fair form down in
the garden mold of Eden adjusting her
first garment from the historic tig-t tree,
and left the habit as an Inheritance 20
her daughters for all time. .-Santa

La Belle Fatma.
Correspondence Boston Herald.

Correspondence Boston Herald.
The Parisians are f1ocking to the
Jardin de Paris, not to see the eccen.
trio dances that distinguish the spot,
but to behold curious entertainment
styled the Concert Tuisien," and,
above all, a new celebrated "profes-
sional beauty" from Tunis, known as
La Belle Fatma. The beautiful Fatma,
who has already created sensation
at the Tuilleries Gardens fetes, is un-
happily rather conscious of her power
OF attraction, and supercillious
smile fingers upon her features, which
would be perfect were it not that the
lips Disclose the gums. She is. how
ever, a superb creature, tall and
admirably proportioned. With sloe-
black eyes and a profuslon of ra-
ven hair, and in the Oriental costume
OF rose-oolored brocade and gold tis-
sue, all her charms are heightened.
She dances to the accompaniment of
the most fearful sounds, produced on
various instruments by a fat woman,
a fat man, a negress, a white woman,
young and pretty-but not beautiful
enough to vie with the beautiful Fat
ma-and eunich, whose presence
furnishes the Par,sians with a text for
some extremely witty and audacious
remarks. These people with the ex-
ception of the ponderous Tunisian,
Daniel Lambert, and the fat old WON.
en-Fatma's fat ma, as the Americans
promptly punned-each dance in turn
a sort of ecstatic rushing to and fro,
with a waving of handkercheifs, and
the eunich sings, while the instruments
bray and resound in a strange, fantas-
tic din. But the unquestioned star is
Fatma, who will not dance until col.
lection has been made in addition to
the fee charged at the door of the
booth, and who, after she has dazzled
us with gold and crimson raiment,
snQw-white arms and breast, flashing
eyes and rubby lips. sits enthroned in
state between the fat old woman and
the fat old man, and keeps up a per-
petual concert with the tambourine,
Tunis in Paris! 1t fascinates the spec
tator and makes him feel as though he
had dreamed that he had strayed
from the everyday boulevards and the
Jardin de Paris, which is nothing it

Washington Post: The Western
train which leaves the Baltimore &
Potomac depot at ten minutes past
10 p. m. had on board recently q
bridal couple. This is nothing strange,
for there is hardly Western train that
goes through that doesn't have bride
and groom ON board before it reaches
Chicago, but the manner in which this
young man and woman found that
they were quite suited to make each
other happy the remainder of their
days was rather a novel one, it having
been ascertained entirely by CORE
spondence. They were accompanied to
the depot by the brides aunt and the
clergyman who performed the mar
riage ceremony.
"It is fact" said the clergyman to
a Post reporter, after the train had
started. "They never saw each other
until o. week ago. The young man has
been for years very well acquainted
with his brides aunt. Before he went
West, several years ago, he was q
resident of Baltimore, where the young
lady's aunt then resided. The aunt,
who is of middle age, took a great
interest in the young fellow, and since
he has been West they have CORE
sponded constantly. In one of his
letters six months ago he stated that
he was doing SO well he thought he
could keep a wife very comfortable,
but he did not know any young ladies,
as his time was taken up with his
business. She jokingly suggested to
her neice, who was sitting by when the
letter was read, that there was an
opportunity for her. and the young
lady, in fun, replied: Tell him to
write to me- The aunt in her
next letter did so. The young man
wrote and inclosed q photograph oil
himself. Their correspondence ripen.
ed into love, and several weeks since
he wrote that he was coming to Wash.
ington, and would bring her back to
his western home if she would have
him. He arrived here last Monday.
She accepted him, for he was an hon.
est. intelligent young fellow that any
girl might feel proud to have as hus-
band, and she left with him for their
new home.
Though their courtship was car.
ried on" continued the clergyman,
Gin rather peculiar manner, 1 want
to assure you that they are very re.
spectacle people, and for that reason
hope you will not mention their
names, as it would be very annoying
to them"
The young lady's aunt will join the
young couple in their western home
as soon as she can settle her affairs
here.
