The same kind of smocks are also
made of WOODEN goods, and later i'll the

by quite elaborate quilting of the fabric

gathering the cloth in at this point, the

tsprcrAL NEW YORK letter.


There are degrees in the fashionable
ness of fashionable women in New York.
A comparativcIv small contingent of
very wealthy and enterprising bellies
keep we'll AHEAD of the lbass OF modlsh
women; Let us illustrate this point.
Here ate Two girls dressed fashionsbly.
Their hats are June shapes. their bod
ices are in the latest Developments OF
the familiar Jersey, their skirts are
draped high behind, and take them all
in all they are excellent opponents OF
approved garments. You will find
them subsequently duplicated all
thfoigil promenade in Fifth avenue
or Broadway. Tiiefe is nothing singu-
lar or individual in their aspect. They
are exhibits of the general tendei1cy ot
fashion fof Tie ensuing season. But
look further along at the second picture
and Vou will find an essentially differ
emf figure. and it Is that Of what may he
termed an extreme belle. SHE btoba-
hls belongs to one of "our best fami-
lies" and hcf allowance of clothes
money is like that of princess. She
can command the services of an origin
nj designer, or Ut Ohe VIII S't'
ideas fresh from the foreign cen
ters of dressmaking. Therefore, she
is able to wear this June what
the majority OF 81 hob women will not
get. or even desire, before August or
September. She has gained her die
tinction principally by being pioneer
in TIE fevival Of lace fringe as toilet
establishment. yhat material has not
been in vogue for long time. but it Is
coming, and she is among the first TO
bring it in, Her shoulders and bosom
are droped with it, aud it extends down
the 'front.' of her skirts: She has almost
discarded the hustle. for the toutnure is
formed by the drapery Of TIE skirt ,itselt
rather than by interior support Head
crs of fa-hon news may have been puz-
zled of late to get 1T the truth regard
ing tie hustle: They have seen state
ments Fa,eatedlv that the hustle has
gone out Of fashloii, iiha at the same
time they have seen it nearly as large
as ever in actual use by fashionable
women, The fact is that the doom OF
the hustle is pronounced, and for the
exclusive kind dt dfess ! have Just de
scribed we are beginning to discard II
altogether; but most OF lis wear 1t III 4

tools in his capacious pocket. The
old parasol or umbrella, which has
lain i'll the closet for years, and
thought to be worthless, is taken and
repaired by the member until it is al
most as good as ever, and for less than
fourth of the cost Of new one.
Despite his disreputable appearance,
the public is indebted to the umbrella
member for that which must otherwise
be cast aside and wasted. 1t is not a
calling in which there seems to be II
great deal of money, but occasionally
the member, who is sober and industri-
Gus, accumulates enough to establish
a peanut-stand. In doing this he does
not abandon his trade, however. but
sells the COOLERS and watches the
sky. Whenever there is hint of fall
ing weather, his stand is folded up, his
stock is placed in security, he seizes
his kit of tools, and is out on the
streets crying: "Parasols to mend
umbrellas to mend" in the same old
monotonous sing-song.

Amid lfo's busy, busting band;

My journey may be long-and more,
My aching feet get sandal sore:
All, who can tell how soon twill end,
At sixty, or three-score and ten?
Father help me to leave the past
And steer for Heaven and home at last.
! IN fifty two! life seems q dream,
And yeti its tears and smiles I've seen.
My youh?furdays. see them now,
The glow of morn was on my brow;
Life burdens the had not borne.
And winter was of terror shorn;
Ny sky was bright and clear and fair,
Along my path bloomed flowers rare;
Hut now turn from all the past,
And Bteor for Heaven and home at last.

This Ito hath strife with tit for tat,
And aching hearts and pain and sorrow,
And those Just born who die to morrow.
Then What is lie, that wo should cling
To worl ily scenes and worldly things,
With such II purJ ose, willard aim,
When rest is found beyond its plain?
Father, help me to stand firm at the mast
And steer for Hea7 zen and home ut last.
I'm nfty-twol All, can it be,
So little left of earth for me?
That so soon shall pass away
From friends and those that longer stay?
Shall walk in bliss the golden shore,
And greet the dear ones gone beforeP

But ever stand firm at the mast

My works not dono, with my might

My sun of life is fast declining,
Its golden tints on hilltops shining,
And mellow lines far in the west,
Pespeak the Christians peaceful rest.
So now farewell to all the past,
To steer for Heaven and home at last
I'm ifty-two! What of my life?
What have done in the worlds great strife
Assisted by song prepept on prayer,
Ore soul to write its name up there?
How will the books I've written here
Read out when in Court appear?
Why come these thoughts within this breast
10 rob my soul of ease and rost?
Is it to warn me, moro and more,
To hoist the sails and ply thepar?
If 70, III stand hard by the mast,
And steer for Heaven, sweet home. at las
