An unusually large number of democratic
Congressman are reported TO have declined
a denomination. They say they want more
time to devote TO private affairs. This is
the usual excuse of a Congressman who is
not sure of a reelection.
THEY KEEP PACE WITH THE PEOPLE.

Judge Kelley says that Congressman are
better dressed, better-behayed and less in
temperate than they were when be first went
TO Washington. This confirms Mr.. Reeds

CONGRESSMAN REED.

The denomination and reelection Of oil
four of our Maine Congressman this yesl
seems reasonably assured. There is no op.
position TO Congressman Reed, and even

will, no doubt. this year send a solid dele.
cation in his interest. With q good show
for the next national house, and the eligibil.
ity of Mr.. Reed for the Speakership Of tina,

BONNETS, HATS AND Wells.

An English custom, which is being a.
tempted here By some ultra fashionable
women, and some who find it convenient
for economical reasons, ia that OF wearing
straw bonnets in winter.
Pretty French bonnets, which are most
scrviceable fer rough wear, are made OF
Angora lace md wooden braid, with a
pompor or q Russian aigrette on the aide.
Velvet strings usually tie such a bonnet.
These are in colors and in black and white.
The becoming and comfortable Tam
O'Shanter hat is again ia fashion, and is
80 much liked by those who are young
enough to wear it that the fashion is likely
10 remain.
A pretty gray hat OF felt With q gray
dove on il ia very becoming for a dark hair
ed young lady who does not object, as so
many do nowadays, to wearing birds. 1t
is strange when one thinks OF 1t how many
young ladies refuse to wear birds or even
birds heads on their hats for sentimental
reasons, yet have no computations Of con-
science about wearing wing and tailfea,hers
ad minimum from the seIfsame birds.
Little caps OF red wool are used instead
oc hoods on s~leighing parties or to wear
with a sortie de sal. They are sometimes
knitted Of silk and are very elastic aud
pretty.
The college gquare crown is seen on the
last fashionable English round hats and
bonners. The Princess OF Wales has
adopted this make in one OF her street hats
and in consequence 1t ia popular, although
not very graceful.

FINISHING AND FURNISHING.

Orchids are, after all, an economical
flower, as, well treated, they last q week,
and may serve on severa! occasions.
Bandana handkerchieis are utilized for
table covers for little mahogany tables.
There is a wide edging OF some prytty lace
bordering them. Either oriental or Mar
quise is appropriate.
Fire irons are decorated with bows Of
ribbon. What next?
An exquisite and piuey odor may be
given to a room with pine needle extract
through an atomizer. 1t ID also very crate.
iul to any one afflicted with any difficulty
OF the throat.
Silver card cases have a large monogram
in black enamel and are Very elegant and
fashionable.
The famous rose curtain" exhibited at
the display made By the Society Of Associst.
ID Artists was called by a lady that mesa
OF roses" Such o mess Of roses one could
very well endure.
Leopard skin rugs snd those Of the polar
bear are utilized for sofa decoration, and
have a true look Of Russian comfort
Coin buttons are q fashion Of the hour
They may be re4i coins if one choose, other.
wlse they are an imitation Of silver or silver
gilt.
Russian cords are usel 10 trimming hate,
Jackets and even tailor.made gowns. This
cord is OF woods and is very heavy and large.

FROM DRAWING-RoOM TO KITCHEN,

A charming ornament for the lunch or
dinner table are silver dishes or those OF
cut crystal on which are arranged, in form
of ~garlsnds, bouquets OF Parma violets
which are atterward distributed as favors
10 the guests.
"a nowadays is expected TO
dress to match her china" So says an
English writer of fashion gossip, and as the
Chinese aud japanese wares are fashion
able, she must be costumed q Ia Chinoise
or q la Japonaiso.
Afternoon teas now give place TO
coffee" parties. at which coffee. cakes,
creams, ices and %jellies are sarved.
Ices to be very elegant are served in lit.
tie paper cups in the form OF roses or tuIips.
A pretty breakfast apron is nov con-
sidered as essential 10 complete q pretty
morniug neglige toilet
Plush or velvet is the proper fabric for
tea gowns for m%atrons, and thin Japanese
fabrics for young ladies.
Cut glass cream pitcher and sugar bowls
are considered more elegant than silver
unless it ia of antique design.

| saw women carrying bricks and NOR
tar up an unfinished six story building.
Women were also on the scaaolding laying
bricks. These women wore high boots
reaching quite up to the knee, and short
skirts not quite reaching the tops OF the
boots. Women similarly attired were mix
ing mortar below. Between the tops OF
the boots and the bottoms of the skirts
there was three inches OF bare knee.

black hats and a corkscrew curl falling on
either side Of each ear. nclsvs in sheep
skin robes, reschiug to their heels; Bohe-
misns, Hungarisns and Croats in their
picturesqe costumes, and on reaching the
ground floor OF the hotel there sat q mag
~niicent Turk in the loose, airy graceful
gsrb of his country. Wien seemed to me
q masquerade turned loose in the streets.
There are few cats and many heas. The
dogs are enOrmouse in size, and trained TO
drag small carts. The cigars are 'long
%uinas," and are built round a broom straw,
which is to be pulledIout on lighting to Sc,
cure O draught. | drew on these cigars o
week before iiEding this olt. The omni.
buses have two compartments and two sets
of fares. Beer is four cents a glass. They
put q small green feather bed on the coun-
terpsne for you to sleep under. People
there, as a rule, sleep singlY. Double
beds are rare. All the streets are planted
with fine trees. Some have two, some
three rows.

DRESS FOR THE FAIR.
New Materials n Few ways to out

New Materials and Few Ways to Out
Them Novelties in Cotton Fabrics.
Leading dry goods houses are now
opening their first i~mportations in cotton
fabrics, and novelties are shown in zephyr
pinghsms, satines, French percales, etc.
New zephyrs are out in new colors and
show sl sizes Of checks, plaids and stripes,
while the new satins display the choicest OF
figures and cclors, such as have only been
represented in foulsrds, which they much
resemble. French percales are shown IN
checks as we'll ss in large plaids. Ondines
will occupy q place between zephyr glng-
hams and lawns. These new goods show
printed figures on plain colored grounds
Quite new and ~extreamly pretty are the
embroidered dress patterns OF anime.
These come in a box with plate showing
how the costume is to be made. There
are many beautiful embroidered dress pat
terms in white goods as we'll as ecru color
which goes to show that this tint will be
again worn. =.
The all over embroideries are exquisite,
and a lady may have her dress entirely OF
this material or Of plain fabric with tiounces
and trimmings of embroidery.
Faille, satin duchesse, surah, vei!ing and
cashmere will be in especial favor, and
dresses Of this last material are being made
in such shades as bronze, myrtle and olive
green, various shades in brown and in gray
OF q light and silver tint.
Reads are to be more worn the coming
season than for several years before. A
word to the wise: There is a chance now
for ladies who do their own sewing and
wish to do their own beading to get beads
at cheaper prices than the stores can otfel
them,at three months hence. A dexterous
person can make a $40 beaded front fol
her silk dress at a quarter the cost OF the
fronts in the stores, the cheaper ornament
in proportion. OF course, If ones time II
worth money this is not economy, but very
many women can spend their time to gooc
advantage with q box of beads and q fine
needle.
Knitted silk underwear is a luxury thai
only the wealthy can enjoy, as a tirst.class
outfit costs several hundred dollars. Entire
outfits of China silk underwear are not un
common. They are expensive, but mo-
more so than very fine linen lawn, that IL
so often selected for bridal suits. A brida
SET, chemise, drawers and night dress
