the moment. Some of twelve or four
teen button length are sufficiently per-
fumed with violets, to convey the i'm.
preston that bouquet of that flower is
cealed in some part of the dress.
Several elaborate designs are shown for
evening wear. There are specimens of
black, on which are tendrils of flowers,
embroidered in beads either of steel, Jet
or silver. These are white kid similarly
ornamented in seed pearls, and gloves
in shades Of pale pink and blue, which
have their floral designs represented in
beads to match. One of the novelties
of the season are the fancy Suede glove
of sixteen button length, in which the
skin does not extend beyond four but.
tons, while the remainder is supplied in
lace of the precise shade of the kid.
For general wear the popular tan Suede
glove OF length to suit the taste of the
wearer is most popular.
Fans for evening wear are marvellous
in beauty. The feathery plnmes of the
ostrich are, perhaps, the most delicate.
The most graceful feathers are chosen
for these, finished in the center with the

The new fans, destined especially for
young girls, are of gauze to match the
color of the toilet, and besprinkled eth

lines with spangles of steel, silver or

purchaser. Moonlight harmonizes we'll
with black, and brightens the frame.

On some of the lace fans appears
bordering of flowers carried half over
the leaf, with an arrangement of the
same as a posey, at one side having
numerous loops and bows of ribbon
forming the bows are introduced all the
shades apparent in the petals of the
flowers.
Some of the newest transparent black
lace fans have cascade of the black
lace on the outer rib, fastened here and
there with diamond brooches, SO that if
possible they are rather prettier closed

Strong young men struck at the poor
maniac with thick sticks. Weak and
dizzy with pain, the unfortunate crea-

her face covered with blood and dirt. In
this state she reached the house of the
head policeman, who stood regarding the
scene with crossed arms from the cause.

The mob now proceeded to bind her. In
fact, a slin-knot was made in rope and
passed round her neck, and she was thus
dragged along the ground into court
yard, her head striking the ground re-
peatedly. Then her feet were tied with
another rope and her feet with thin
string. Bat the owner of the courtyard
drove her out again. upon which the
mob ia tened her by the rope
round her neck to ring on the
closed door, and by the rope
round her feet to a post opposite. Now
she was SAFE. and the mob began to
mock her, having no longer any fear.
At every movement of her body the
slip-knot tightened! Some one, rather
more humane than his fellows, relieved
her of this rope, on which she fell to the
ground, striking her head against the
edge of the causeway. Finally it enter

send the mad woman to the asylum. and
