skirt covers them. Over his shoulders a
long plaid falls nearly to feet. His belt
is evidently OF rich matcrial-I couldn't
make out what--and from il is suspended
a jewcled dagger in slver-mounted
sheath. IL isn't concealed weapon at all.
From the same belt on his right hangs
large tobacco pouch made OF Il VOLTS head.
His cap is small, of plaid material and his
whole appearance is that OF brave, big
Highland laddie.
Bonnets? As it Is nearing Easter the
shop windows are full OF them, OF the most
marvellous style. All the recent crusade
against high hats has resulted in an actual
enlargement of the really stylish bonnet.
They are made TO cover only the top, and
not the back OF the head and the coil of
hair behind and the brushed up locks in
front are fully exposed, There is u rakish
air about them. Ribbons, rather than
flowers are used for trimming. Upright
bows OF ribbons are kept in position
ways erect-by skillfully concealed wires
or heavy lining.
In the new costumes shown for spring
wear-if spring ever manages TO get winter
out OF her lap so rs to arise aud come forth
into the sunlight-thee is noticeable
minging Of yellow andgrcen. These were
once regarded as colors not TO be combined,
but all the modistcs have got the craze.
Estheticism is held responsible for this
innovation; but il really grows ont OF de.
sign which Nine. Allies, the costumer to
Mrs Cleveland, made OF dress for her.
Next, handsome George Drew had dress
with the same hitherto incongruous colors
it, She was seen ut Wallack's theater
in il, and now all the molistes are model
ing after Nine. Allies. She is an original
designer, and not only Mrs Cleveland, but
most OF the prominent actresses who can
afford to dress employ her peculiar genius
for artistic dress designing. And il is an
art after all.
The fashion in fans? They must match
the costume, and they must vary according
TO the occasion, a different style for the
honse, the street, the afternoon tea, the
reception, the theatcr party, etc. surah
and ivory with neglige dresses, gauze and
lace for the afternoon tea, painted vellum
or silk with amber or tortoise sticks for
dinners, and long ostrich feathers for
evening. Prices, 81 to S25.
sat in the lobby Of wallack's OH Fri
day night between the acts Of "Money"
and heard Col. John a. McCaull, the
manager of the comic opera company
which bears his name and boasts OF Cot
trelly rs star actress, tell some friends OF
the method they have in the west some
where OF ariifcially cooling n thcater,
could not catch which one, by means Of
ammonia passed through ordinary iron
pipes placed in every part OF the theater.
The ammonia will 80 cool these pipes that
in The hottest OF midsummer weather a
coating OF frost will form on the pipes and
tho temperature OF the thealer can be re-
duced TO any desired figure. They are
going even further than that now in this
city. There is large establishment here
which manufactures ammonia on large
scale and supplies IL in tanks about three
feet high and foot and half in diameter
TO stores, saloons and private houses for
cooling purposes. IL can be readily at
tached TO pipes, which may be run around
any room, into reirigeratois, anywhere in
fact, and the desired effect can be pro-
duccd al will. A tank Of the size named
will cool your parlor and dining.room and
supply the place OF ice in your refrigerator
for month. When tank is exhausted
tho company puts in another and you
have no trouble TO regulate IL. At the
company's Office saw bottle Of cham
payne froppcd, and frozen hard, too, in
less than two minutes, and ] helped drink
the wine; yet am 80 ungraiefu that /

cept handsome, though fat fellow, named
Fuller, who could talk ammonia like
Poor Poll" When We have storage bat
terics for electric lighting and syphons
charged with ammonia wonder what will
become Of the gas companies and ice
dealers.
Among the latest fashionable "iads'
Just now prevalent are what are called
"Circus parties" A number Of ladies
and gentlemen agree among themselves 10

are secured 50 that the party " not scpar-

ably boisierous manner, and adjourn to
supper ut Dclmonico's or the Hoffman
house. The fun is general until the sup
