SPECIALLY FOR WOMEN.
Delicate Fancies in Embroidered
Underwear.

Short under petticOats, daintily and
elaborately made, are very much the fashion
just now, and some Of them are marvels in
the way of embroidery and lace and ribbon
trimmings. The more useful, if not love-
lest ones, are made of very fine flannel in
soft. pale shades of pink, blue and creamy
white. The seams are all felled and
feather-stitched with silk of some contrast
ing color, and the hem and the band. which
is of narrow ribbon or silk braid, with long
ties, are similarly finished. Then there is
at least one lace ruffle added to the foot.

ties, or il single band of lace is

chetted or knitted of the very finest
split zephyr the color Of the flannel. But
whatever kind of lace Is used it is run in
the most open mesheS, with fine ribbons,
matching in color the silk used in the
feather stitches. Then there are fire cash
mere skirts, with satin facings and finish
ings, and silk thread embroideries in bands
or in separate flower clusters placed near
the foot of the front and side breadths. A
particularly elaborate and elegant little pet
ticoat of pale cameo pink cashmere, with
white satin facings and quilted border of
white satin six inches deep. A narrow
double rufle Of lace falls from under the
border and above it on the front and side
breadth clusters of roses are embroidered of
white silk, mixed with the finest of seed
pearls. The most fashionable skirts, how
ever, are Of fine white surah silk, orna-
mented with groups Of tucks and innumer-
able frills Of Valenciennes lace or fine en-
broideries of silk alone or mixed with tinsel.
The embroideries are sometimes in pale
color, and delicately tinted ribbons may be
run through the lace founees or frills, but
the skirts par excellence are those all in
white, and are so extremely delicate and
dainty that only those of unlimited wealth
can afford to wear them ordinarily.

HIS FEE WAS TOO SMALL.
Il Washington Lawyer Who WASH,
Expensive Enough.

EXpensiEe enough
One day last week the senior member OF
firm of local patent attorneys received a
call from gentleman who represented a
syndicate of English stockholders in a valu-
able patent. There was some dispute as to
the priority of invention, which resulted in
the gentleman in question being sent to this
country TO engage the services of q compe-
tent attorney to make the necessary re-
search and report. The fee finally agreed
upon was retainer of $3.50, and 500 day
additional for every day employed. The
retainer was paid, and the Enghshman left.
He returned the following morning and
asked for private interview with the
senior partner. When they were alone the
Englishman, with some embarrassment,
said:
Il have come to speak with you about
the retainer you received yesterday. L
would like your permission to change the
amount"
Il am sorry you regard my charges ex-
eessiye," the attorney began, when his Wis
ltor interrupted him with: mot at ALL
I've called to learn if you have any objec-
tlon 10 making it larger. You see, " he con-
tnued, IF wrote to my people that you
mad charged me only $3.50 they might think
you second-rate man, whereas if you in
crease the amount they will value your
services accordingly. | know you are all
right because inquired particularly about
you, but the syndicate l represent do not,
and l am first Of all DESTROYS of pleasing
them"
The attorney was equal to the occasion,
VERY we'll" said he, suppose we call it
$780," Cant you make it S1,000P" said
his visitor anxiously. The attorney nodded
affirmatively, whereupon the Englishman
laid down the money and left the office
with the air of a man who had won great
victory.

DECORATIVE NEEDLEwoRK.
Ops and Downs OF Artistic Taste in
the Revival of Embroidery.
Innllnn ri Journal

London Art Journal.
The revival of embroidery was the natural
outcome of the general revival of deco
rative art to which the great exhibition Of
1851 gave such an important impulse. At
no time in the history of English art had
decorative needlework reached such a state
of absolute debasement as in the first half
Of the present century. nor was it alone in
that unenyiable position. Ii is both inter-
esting and humiliating TO look back at the
illustrated catalogue of the great exhibit
ton and gain an idea from what was then
thought worthy of engraving, of the condi-
ton of the art of the day Decorative
needlework. however, had ceased to be an
art at all. For ecclesiastical purposes it still
fingered on, but secular embroidery had
sunk into the abOminatiOn of deSolation
known as Berlin woodwork. A better
state OF things no doubt exists now:
but while it is we'll to measure our pro-
greSs by looking back and noting how short
a time mas elapsed since the decline of the
decorative arts had reached what we NAV
hope was It's lowest ebb, it is painful to
think how much of this improved taste is
mere fashion-the reproduction of good
models rather than real renaissance of art.
on which any reliance can be placed. The
very rebound carried us into phase of low
toned mOnOtOny which was certainly less
aggressive. but scarcely in itself more rea-
sonable, than the snowy and pretentious
style which preceded it, because it was a
craze rather than the result of any percep-
ton of true art principles. Hence we had
forms OF construction which were passed
as artistic by the wOuld-be cultivatOrs of
the beautiful. mere productions of a past
era which had come into fashion again. but
which were not beautiful in themselves.
and in coloring it only needed to be dingy
enough to be admired. There was. if pos
sible, greater absence of any thought out
harmony of color than in the old Philistine
days, when people did at any rate guide
themselves by complementaries, even If of
a most crude and primitive kind The re-
suit was, as we have said, generally less
aggressive, but, in true sense often not
more artistic.
