HONEY FOR THE LADIES.

Green will be the ruling color, varied and
mixed in many ways.
Deep organge tints, as well as all the di-
luted shades of gold and cowslip yellow, are
in high favor.
Flowers are much to the fore this season,
and have quite taken the place of feathers for
millinery purposes.
Black and gray are still worn for walking
costumes, but are seldom plain, being gener-
ally combined with color.
Tailor-made gowns are elaborated to suit
dress occasions by smart additions of mill
tary-like silver and gold braiding.
Low hats of fine black fancy straw, turned
up at the back and side, and tied on the top
with green ribbons and white lilac, are
popular.
Flannel is still the ~favorite stuff for tennis
and yachting costumes, but serge and Jersey
cloth are preferred by the best dressers, If ex-
pense is no object.
From Paris comes the mournful news that
the hustle has a new lease of life, and is
likely to die hard if it dies at all before the
oncoming of the empire gown.
Very wide ribbons now appear in the loop
ings of lace net and illusion gowns, and rich
graceful knots with fringed ends are far and
away better style than any sort of bow.
Japanese c%ottons, showing all sorts of i'm
possible blue figures upon their white
grounds, are made up into serviceable and
quaint-looklng parasols for country use.
The hustle has diminished, the towering
height OF hats and bonnets have come down
to a very becoming medium, the disiguring
high pointed shoulder effects have vanished.
Airy-looking bonnets are made of net in
a | colors over wire to match, shirred or
gathered, in poke shape, and almost smoth-
cred in field ioWer most harmonious to their
hue.
India pongee is more worn than for years
is used for hats, cloaks, costumes, blouses
and is often combined with dark green, or
| smoked with that color If the gown is of one
hue.

waist, and three panels on the skirt, in front
| and at the sides, between which appear wide
pleats often edged with folded ribbon.

The pretty summer silks known as benga-
lines, in fine reps, are of almost as light
weight as the French foulards. These are
made up in plain %colors, in stripes, and
checks, and in lovely pompadour designs.
One very good black silk, made in good but
uncomfortable style, can be made by adding
different vests, collars, cuffs, and so on, to
appear at least half a dozen gowns; so sue
cessfully, too, as to deceive the very elect.
Lady Georgina Legge made up a woman's
eleven for a game of cricket with the girls of
the B~irminham High school, and the match
was played on the Earl of Dartsmouth's
grounds before a large and select company.

The famous "Nellie Bly," of the New York
World, is a pretty authenticated girl with
pretty brown eyes and sweet face. Her
name is Miss Cochrano and it goes without

lady continues her daring exploits in journal
ism.
An Allentown (Pa.) firm of tailors en-
ploys a pretty young lady as collector. If "a

colored gloves to the newer tints of pile

the beautiful channels tlnts, but they are of a
dye that with n deepening of shade, would
soon reach the popular orange color.

enjoy is due to the fact that a gown made of
them is always bright and neat in appear

weather wear. These fabrics lend them
selves to any sort Of draping and trimming.
