Late Agonies in Esthetic Hose.
From the Daily Graphic.

From the Daily Graphic.
Stockings, it delights my esthetic soul to
say, are fashionable only when very pl ain.
Black silk is worn more than ever, although
some are predicting and trying to hasten the
day of the white balbriggan. A tidy cOmpro-
mise is an ecru-eOlored stocking. with white
sole, heel and toe of light weight and good
value for the money. Many who do not
like the black silk stocking or who think it
too expensive, buy Isle thread stockings in
dark-blue, slate, red or green. These are
generally the women who try to hide their
feet when taking Turkish baths. They
are almost sure to stain the feet.
Loud checks. stripes and plaids
are always pleasing to some and
can, of course, be found on sale, but they
are not consideted ''niee.p For slipper
stockings a little more latitude Is allowed
and gay colOrs, especially in silk, are
allowable. Still, the rule is for fine-em-
broidered dots and delicate open work, and
we are all glad 10 know that the days are
past for red stockings on right feet aud
yellow stockings on left feet and both in
full view on a Long Branch piazza.

The Coifsure Considered.

Anew Partisan couture, more becoming
than the very simple one set by Madame
Jane Hadding, is called the ''dauphine,"
and consists in group of two or three long
curls caught into a queue at the neck with
a loose knot of ribbon. very becoming to
fresh young face if the curls are of natures
making.
There is tendency to make a change in
the way of dressing the hair. Instead of
curled bandeaus the hair is to be taken back
in Recamier style.
The large twisted piece OF hair in the
back is replaced by small loops placed one
above the other. They are narrow, but
high.
As very pretty face is needed to sue
ceSsfully take the hair all off the forehead,
a la Chinese. another style is to be adopted
with this one. and in this the hair is entirely
taken of the center of the forehead, a small
curled lock remaining on the side.
The Chinese arrangement admits of the
hairs being taken loosely back and slightly
pulled. which is less trying to the face. The
indications are, from present appearances,
that before long the hair will be arranged
altogether in these two ways.

Confirmation Dresses.

The general rule obtaining in Paris in re-
spect of confirmation dresses is tn at they
shall always be simple. They are made,
however, of fine muslin, and good uualt V
of silk is used for the lining.
The handkerchief. bag, bell and book
may be costly and rich. A confirmation
dress may have skirt of light quality of
silk or of plain muslin. The thin muslin
overdreSs has wide hem on the lower
part. The waist is half low in the neck,
with gathered muslin guimpe covering
the neck.
A boys confirmation suit is of black cloth
with white pique vest. The trousers and
coat are of cloth. The front of the coat
opens on the upper part as well as slightly
below. to show the vest. White mother-of-
pearl buttons close the vest down the front.
Another confirmation dress is of muslin.
with insertions of white ''moire' ribbon.
The silk skirt is covered with muslin,
trimmed on the lower part with three
rows os MORE ribbon. forming insertions.
The waist, "a Ia VERGE" has high MORE
collar, trimmed with plaitings of crepe

Upon the sky are hues unrolled
OF splendors born on high,
Whose treasures all on earth behold
Upon the sky.
But in the dreamer's eye,
The pathway through the dusky world,
Some new life trembles nigh:
An unknown blossom fold on fold
Whose scented leaflets lie,
The dawn burst and the mornings gold
Upon the sky.
The rich red bloom suffused with dew
Doth larger form assume;
The calyx holds no more from view
The rich red bloom
1t waves its fiery plume
Like vestal flame beneath the blue,
Soft suns and moons Hume.
A shrine for only lovers true
Within the green woods gloom,
But wantou creatures come and WOO
The rich red bloom
Thy fancy weaves a spell supreme,
Whose witch cry ne'er aggrieves.
Such charm along LIES summer stream
Thy fancy weaves.
The gold that gilds the sheaves,
Gildsalso real thought and theme,
Wherein thy heart believes.
On highthe mystic rainbows CLEAN,
Whose touch the world deceives,
Which lies in light of wondrous dream
Thy fancy weaves.

Because thy soul is high and white,

its servants are doing. Were it not for this
