Fresh Fashion Notes-

White dresses are to be tho rage in
Paris directly the hot weather sets in.
Cloaks for small girls are to be half
fitting and extend to the bottom of the
dress skirt.
A four-leaved shamrock in a tiny
crystal medallion is the last ornament
worn on bangles.
Pocket handkerchiefs are now made
with very narrow hens, edged with a
border of Valenciennes lace.
While there are many fancy styles in
the new exhibits of hosiery, solid COL
ors and dark shades seem to be the
favorites. The popularity of black
hose increases rather than diminishes,
and they will be worn with light dress
| es of all sorts and with the most dressy
toilets in evening shades.
Walking costumes of summer serge
or cheviot are made with a pleated
skirt; second skirt, much shorter,
plcated across the front forming a
schawl-point at the side and a puff on
the back, The bodice comes down in
to peak both ia front and at the back;
it is trimmed with a collar and ruf1le of
wollen lace to match.
Girls hats and bonnets for spring
are mostly Of dark straw, and the ma
jority Of them are faced with
velvet or other dark material and
turn very far back from the face,
the brims in many styles reaching
to the top of the hi Oh crowns, where
they are fastened by strong stitch or
are held in with the trimming. A few
made feathers are used, but more os-
rich tips arc seen than usual.
Thcater bodices are now being in
PRODUCED for the purpose of wearing
out skirts that have ceased to belong
to la premiere fvaicheur. These waists
arc made of embroidered tulle, beaded
with pamphlets, over bright colors,
such as jonuuil, scarlet, white, pale
pink or blue. The sleeves are
to the elbow and are trim
med with falling strings of iridcscent
jets; the high collar band is equally of
the same multicolored trimming and
epaulets OF the same beading
correspond with the vest. In
the capote worn with these
little vests the bouquet of flowers or
understanding, tsghtly-ticd bow of
rlban must be Of the some color as the
| fond of the bodice.
Round hats are very hi gh in the
crown, and have the brim wider on
one side than the other and slightly
rolled upward Some have little. II
any brim at the back of the head, it
being cut up to the edge of the crown
so there is no projection whatever at
the back. 1t is more fashionable to
trim this style of hat at the back than
at the front. Long plumes are so set
us to fall over the back of the head and
relieve the ''cut-off' appearance of
which many ladies have complained.
Other shapes are trimmed at one side
with loopes of ribbon or bunch of
flowers, or short or half-long ostrich
plumes. Many hat frames are covered
with lace or Grape and thicklv set with
beads. A few large round hats have
jerscy-cloth covers under a network
of beads or of knotted cord or braid.

Whv Men Smoke.

A writer in the St. James Gazette
thinks that a number Of literary men
smoke simply to make an income.
They have learned that with pipe in
their mouths thoughts not only come
more readily, but in better order; and
that, while it is often difficult to get
the proper word if they are not smok-
ing, it runs to the point of the pen the
moment they Light up Psychologist
cally this is the most interesting; and
the reason womankind cannot grasp it
probably is that psychology is not, I'M
fortunately, taught in ladies' scmin-
aries. Smoking is a great safeguard
against infectious diseases. 1t is only
by reading up the subject scientifically
in medical trcatises that one thorough
" gets to understand the thousand
risks of this kind that we run every
day. In the country during the sum-
| mcr months, when men ale On their
holidays, they look forward to having
at temporary respite from smoking.
Then it does no, so much matter how the
! temperament is: living so much in the
open air, the smoking of other persons
has little effect on them, and there is
less danger of infection. 1t is to keep off
the flies that men smoke on the seaside
and on the hills Their own weather.
| beaten countenances can stand the
flies; but these little demons would not
only spoil the summer for our suscept-
ible wifes and sisters and children. but
would disGgure them as we'll
That is what a man cannot endure.
You may have seen picnics on the river
or among the fields, with all the men
smoking and the ladies standing quite
near them. With many men smoking
is merely m excuse for staying at
home. A man looks foolish Of an
evening doing nothing: yet he is too
tired to do much. A cigar supplies the
amount of labor he requires, and he
does not mind the trouble of smoking
it SO long as it enables him to stay at
home without loss of dignity and look
admiringly, and yet undcmonstrative-
ly, at his wife. Should man with a
small income be an cpicure, or natural
ly of an irascible temper, it will add
greatly to the happiness of his home il
he compels himself to smoke. Aud at
present, when times are so hard as to
affect every one more or less, cigar
is cheap and excellent substitute fo1
expensive amuscments.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen mas completed the proposals for
bids for making stamped envelopes for
the next four years. May every four
years these bids are advertised for, and
the competition is more active and
hair-splitting than for any other gov
eminent contract, as it is the largest
single contract which the department
makes. For twelve years the Plinp-
ton Envelope Company of Hartford,
Conn.,. and the Morgan Envelope Com
pany of Springfield. Mass, have had
the making of stamped envelopes.
Since the Government began in 1851 to
sell stamped envelopes there has been
steady increase in the amount requir-
ed each year, until the Government has
for several years been selling more en-
velopes than all other producers COM
bincd. Last year 27O.OOO,5OO stamped
envelopes, worth $5,773,0O0, were sold.
With every letting the size of the con-
tract increases and the price of enve-
lopes is reduced. Envelopes which in
1869 cost 81. 80 per thousand can now
be sold for $3.50 per thousand, and
the extra letter size that then cost $6
are now sold for So. 40.
The proposals this year provide a
greater variety of paper and number
of new grades. 1t was found that peo-
pie preferred to buy the best quality of
envelopes rather than the medium sorts
while no cheap grade was provided.
This time a plain ungummed manila
envelope has been called for which can
be sold for 40 cents a thousand. This
will meet the demand of circular adver-
tiscrs, which is large one, monopo-
lied hitherto by private dealers. Two
sizes called baronial, about SKA inches,
have been inserted for the benefit of the
ladies who like to use fancy note
papers. The size most used is the plain
white or amber known as No. 5, 34x6-
SIG inches. OF this, for the year end
ing March 81, 13O,475,0OO were re-
quired, more than twice as many az
any other kind used.
Bidders are required to give bond
for 100000 that they will 60 on with
the contract if it is awarded to them
The contractor is required to do the
