Polonaises are worn TO considerable
extent, and they nre worn long. Usually
they, as well as the shorter basQues and
bodices, are worn with vests-oiten only
little v's-near the collar. The lower
portion is in front draped in heavy folds
to q point at one side, leaving q large
part OF the skirt exposed. Behind the
draperies which form part of the polo
Daise are quite as heavy as those which
accompany the basque style OF costume,
but they are narrower and permit por-
tons of the skirt to bs seen even at the
back. The skirt, being 80 largely shown,
must be tastefully arranged and
trimmed. Usually it is either killed or
else made plain with side panels. A
wide border OF braid passementerie is
frequently laid along the lower edge,
and in fact where polonaise is worn
greater pains should always be taken
with the skirt than when heavy and yo-
luminous drsperies are Mt hand to cover
up all deficiencies in this quarter.

STREET WEAR.

For wear upon the street this season q
few ladies favor light plaid woollen ma
terials. Dresses of these goods are
made with the utmost simplicity. 1t is
almost impossible to effectively or taste
fully trim plaid, and these street suits
are only garnished with small velvet col
lars and narrow cuffs of the same. They
usually are worn with vests OF plain
woollen materials. Short open basque,
drapery almost concealing the skirt, and
arranged over the hustle with great sim
plicity.
Hair-line woollens are worn for in
door dress. A house-dress must be made
quiet but tasteful. These fne-striped
woollens are generally trimmed with
braid, and exhibit braided vests.

NEW YORK, May 26, 1888.
Very sweet summer dresses for little
tots are being shown just now. White
seems TO be favored for the little ones,
and dresses OF white-embroidered net,
lace-slips over plain muslin under
dresses, nun's-veiling, and similar mate
rails are very popular. Many bright
hued costumes are, however, to be seen.
Gmmpes are extremely popular. In
fact almost every stylish child's dress is
made in this fashion. The sleeves are
pulled and loose, having a narrow band
OF ribbon between shoulder and elbow.
The fine grades of figured goods-fig-
ured India silks, challieS, and even fou-
lards-are much used for juvenile cos
tunes. On Wednesday OF this week all
ths children of our sister city, BROOKLYN,
turned out in their Sunday-School Union
anniversary march, and the number of
quaint, pretty, and novel dresses ex-
hibited was great.

The Most Famous English Bankers.

The most famous of English bankers
are the Barings, to whom sort of Amer
lean interest attaches because one of the
married the celebrated Philadelphia
heiress and beauty, Anne Louise Bing-
ham. She was one of the first of Amer
ican peeresses, Mr.. Barring becoming
Lord Ashburton in 1885. 1t was with
him, while he was Minister from Eng
land, that Daniel Webster, then Secre-
tary of State, negotiated the treaty set
tling the northeastern boundary. The
details of the treaty were arranged be-
tween these old-fashoned diplomats
while they were off on fishing excur-
sion together. The founder of the bank
ing-house was Sir Francis Barring, who
died in 1880, leaving fortune of
1000, 900 to his three sons-Thomas,
Alexander and Henry. Thomas, sue
Cceding to the baronetcy, gave up the
business. Henry, the youngest brother,
had rather romantic reputation as a
lucky gambler, who was frequently able
to break the bank of gambling house.
He was the amazement of beholders when

him, and continue to play until the bank
was compelled to stop. But the reputa-
ton of successful gambler was hardly
suited to the membership of a great
banking house, and Mr.. Henry was in
duced to retire from the firm. Alexander
Barring, often called alexander the
Great" continued the business and ex-
tended the fortunes of the house. He it
was that advanced the money after
Waterloo that freed France from the oc-
cupation of the allied armies. "There
are six great powers in Europe" said a
statesman at that time, England,
France, Russia, Austria, Prussia and the
Darings" While not as wealthy OF

PeODle Who SnOre.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard of a snoring savage, says a writer
in the Fireside. In fact, if the wild man
of the woods and plains does not sleep
quietly he runs the risk of being discov.
cred by his enemy, and the scalp of the
snorer would soon adorn the belt of his
crafty and more silent sleeping adver-
sary. In the natural state, then, "natu-
raj selection" weeds out those who dis
turb their neighbors by making night
hideous with their snores. With civil.
zation, however, we have changed all
this. The impure air of our sleeping
The nasal passages are the first to be af,
fected. Instead of warming the inspired
air on its way to the lungs, and removing
from it the dangerous impurities with
which it is loaded, the nose becomes
obstructed. A part OF the air enters and
escapes by way of the mouth. The veil
of the palate vibrates between the two
currents-that through the mouth and
the one passing through the partially
closed nostrils-like torn sail in the
wind The snore, then, means that the
sleeper's mouth is partially open, and
that his lungs are in danger from the al,
not being properly warmed and purified.
From the continual operation of these
causes the increase of impure all
in the sleeping rooms and permitting
habitual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-some scientists have predicted
that in the future all men land the wo.
