the loose, flowing draperies with SIM
liar ornamentation of fine shocking.
Black-faced cloth is also being
used for slight mourning, as
and serge. Where deeper mourning is
required, as in case of immediate rela-
tiyes, many varieties of Grape are en-
ployed, the quantity used depending, of
course, upon the nearness of the rela-
tive for whom the mourning is worn.
As trimming for black gowns, and for
use in millinery, Grape is, OF course.
quite Indispensable; but when some
ching more durable is required, as, for
instance, mourning tea-goWn or a
mantle, it is better to employ some such
fabric as Grape cloth, which has all the
appearance OF good Grape, but far more
durability. AS the mourning becomes
less deep we are able to exercise our in
genuity in devising costumes which.
although they are made entirely in
black materials, are yet capable OF a
more varied treatment than when they
are only in black fabrics, trimmed ell
tirely with Grape. For evening gowns,
for instance, it is quite permissible to
wear a pretty combination of black silk,
with embroidered designs in dull jet,
and panels, perhaps, of striped MORE.
Another pretty gown may be carried
out with full black draperies of fine
black lace, and front draped with
alternate insertions of lace and velvet
ribbon.
APRIL SHOWERS
are falling pretty often now, and that
brings NY the subject of fashions in
shoes. The usage among the in
tensely stylish women of New York
varies from season to season as to what
to do with their feet when it rains. Or
binary rubber OyerShOeS are not hand
some at their best. and they are never
in high favor, although tolerated for
comforts sake by some of us. High
overshoes, with cloth surfaces and rub
Der underneath, are more slightly, but
they are open to the objection of in
creasing our pedal understandings from
three to SKIES. Any establishment of
number six covering, when there are
no trousers to partially cover and miti-
gate the size, is only an aggrevation.
This spring the fashion among swell
girls is to discard oyershOes altogether
and wear tolerably heavy but neat gait
ers, reaching half way to the knee.
One thing in their favor is that good
ones cost from SO to SIS pair. They
are made of the very finest calf skin,
and are kept well oiled, so as to be i'm
peryiouS to moisture. For outdoor
wear fancy shoes are fashionable
craze at the moment. and leading boot
makers are giving great attention to the
latest notions of all foreign makers.
Russian leather shoes have just
been introduced for afternoon
wear, and are chiefly made
in rich red and tan color, Or
namented on the toes with cut steel
beads or small paste buckles; and when
walking becomes possible with change
in the weather, we are to have laced
walking shoes of the same beautiful
material and in the same colors. Tan
color and red will harmonize with most

of the inverted V was fully half way
down her spinal column. turned the
conversation to Seemlier topie-that
of pretty girl in waltz with an
equally presentable young man. But
by no means all the coupling was
equally agreeable to the feminine
halves. A maiden likes to waltz with a
nice fellow, whose chin just scrapes her
ear, and in whose collar button her
modest eyes may be fixed at dead
level. Unfortunately, eXigencles too
often mate her inharmoniouSly with an
old chap who is too short. or too fat, or
both, and awkward besides. The pig

twenty years ago doesn't pair well with
the glideS and slides of to-day, but we
have to suffer when circumstances de-
demand il.
Well, we do sometimes have to come
down
FROM IDEAL TO REAL MEN
when it comes to mating. There is to
me something charmingly frank in the
correspondent of contemporary who
calls herself "a Tailor-Made Girl" and
inquiries whether the romantic ideas of
love and marriage entertained by her
father and mother or her own more
practical view is correct The answer
given to this anxious but worldly-minded
damSel is that there are various kinds
of love; that the love attraction OF a
man for a woman and a woman for a
man is merely bodily infirmity; that
marriage is prepoSterouS legalized
fraud, and that the love necessary for
matrimony belongs to the second class,
which is purely selfish, so that the best
thing to do is to find some decrepit old
earl and, in the words of the writer,
''marry early and marry often" 1t is
only fair to add that in postscript this
Satirist of modern morals says that he
doesn't believe word that he has said.
1t is, however, a fair hit when he goes
on to say that we live in an age of tran
Sition and startling theories. and that it
is not wonderful if in sheer bewilder-
ment people Gluten at the one reliable
thing they knOw-money.
Elegance of style and material are the
features of the evening gowns of the
new season. An exceedingly stylish
one of peau de sole, in the new silver
shade, called ''silver wedding" gray,
was
MADE WITH THREE PANELS
in front of white silk, cross-barred with
black velvet lines. The polonaise of the
dress was made with a partly loose
front. opening over a vest OF white silk,
with DirectOire scarf of black net at
the throat. The selvedge of the silk
was displayed in front, and the polonaise
was looped up in big puffs at the back
with a wide sash of black MORE ribbon.
A stylish dress of golden brown India
silk was draped simply across the front
breadths with a diagonal band of shir-
ring, coming from high on the left side
and reaching to the foot of the gown Oh
the right. The basque of this gown was
short and trimmed with high collar of
Carrick-ma-cross lace, extending in
points over the corsage, like the
ancient gorget, as this new
collar is sometimes called. The
sleeves of the basque were full

and high, and we're finished at the
wrist with disappointed Vandyke cuffs.
They were precisely similar to the
sleeve and cuff with which all are
familiar in the portraits of Charles /.
and courtiers of his time painted by the
Dutch artists. Gowns for wear at water
ing places, tea gowns and many other
dresses are profusely displayed in at
traetive styles. Although there are
certain plain colors, such as stem-green,
poppy red and mouse, which are very
popular, decidedly the most fashionable
ribbons and silks are those of mixed
tints, so that it is rare indeed to meet
with trimming of a single shade. Some
effect is apparently obtained by dyeing
one shade upon another, while others
have the tones simply fading into each
other. The favorite combinations APP
pear to be electric blue and gray, navy
and buttercup, eau de nil and orange,
brown and gray, or brown and water
cress-green, bright red and cream and
olive greens, and kind of old pink that
is rather browner than the shade in
in vogue last season.
THE BUsTLE QUESTION
is bustlng just now. Some of us want
to enlarge it, but the majority are for
contraction, and already the dimensions
of that much-ridiculed protuberance are
visibly lessened. But there is enough
of it left in sight yet to provide nov
city. This called the tremelo hustle,
and it is worn by women who affect
great vivacity of manner. The under
lying construction is composed of spiral
springs, which shake and culver at the
slightest motion of the wearer, thus i'm
parting to the hustle the appearance of
having live rats or something else of an
active nature concealed underneath the
draperies. Running through the week
we have had practical trials of leaping
from windows into blankets. The fire
department is DESTROYS of familiarizing
their own men and other people with
that mode of escape from fire, and it
happens that in Barnum's show there
is trapeze girl who doesn't

OUR NATAL DAY.

The patriotic observance North and
South, East and West, Of the birth day
of this great republican empire indi-
Gates how indissolubIy the sisterhood
of States are linked together and shows
TO the world strong, united, liberty
loving people. In this sense it has q
two-fold Significance now, for with
each returning 4th of July the survi-
vors of the contending hosts Of the late
war vie with each other in banfshtng
the hatreds and bitter memories and
holding dear only the deeds OF valor
and love and sacrifice that were born
of that unhappy conflict. BY this
means we prove that there ia no longer
q North and South in sectional
sense, but that we are strong, united
people. 1t proves that the South has
accepted In good faith the arbritrament
of the sword and that her Sous are as
loyal to the flag, the constitution and
the laws as our brothers of the North :;
that they would not have it otherwise
and that they would fight now with
the same valor that characterized and
covered them with glory on the field
OF Yorktown, atChaIneite and in Next
co, to preserve the glory of tho flag, to
hold intact the constitution and to
preserve the unity of the States insep-
erably and forever.
But these fraternal feelings have not
yet reached their zenith. The people
OF tho North have not quite reached
that degree of confidence In us of the
South as to trust US with the reins of
government. We, however, do not
blame them for this. 1t was quite
natural that they should require OF US
a probationary service before consent.
Ing TO admit US to the highest council
boards and TO- cntrust the destinies o.
the nation to our hands. But thai
timo has nearly come. One Democratic
administration, which has brought
Southern statesmen TO the front, has
proved that we are worthy of every
confidence and ere another four years
is added to our glorious history it will
not be an essential prerequisite that an
aspirant for vice.presidentiai or even
presidential honors shall have been
born north of Mason and Dixon's
line.

Persons visiting Washington have,
perhaps, regarded the Capitol as com.
plete, but it is, In fact, an unfinished
building, and the House has just ap-
propriated 800, 900 for grand portico
and staircase for tho west front. How.
ever false an economy may prevail
with Senators and Representatives re-
garding other public buildings, they
all know better then to put cheap
work on the Capitol. Originally the
east front of the building was meant
as the real front, but placing tho Pres'-
dents house back of the Capitol caused
the City of Washington to be built
behind the Capitol as ii was. So the
west front bad to be made as grand
and imposing as the east. Two or
three years ago Congress appropriated
over $500, 900 for tho new marble ter
race, which is now complete. 1t adds
UNNECESSARILY to the beauty OF the
building, as it apparently gives an adj
diiionai story, thus doing away with
the heavy effect of the dome. The
Capitol is a very good standard for

OUACHlTA AZ A GRASS PRODUCING
AND STOCK RAISING COUNTRY.

OF late years several important cx-
periments have been made in this
parish in the cultivation of grasses and
in almost every instance they have
proved successful, showing the wonder
full adaptability of our soil for almost
every species of grass and at tho same
time indisputably establishing the fact
that we have country unsurpassed
for stock raising. NIessrs. Stone & Lay
ton, real estate agents, have recently
been making experiments in grasses
on the Layton place just below town
and they have met with the most en-
couraging success. They now have
on exhibition at their Office, No. 81
DeSiard street, several cuttings from
harvestings just made and we doubt ii
a better showing can be made any
where. Among the cuttings on ex-
hibition are two of Red Glover planted
in October, 1887. The first cutting was
harvested in June and grew to a
heighth of s! feet. The second cutting
from the sane planting was harvested
in July and Is y feet high. They have
also speciman of the famous Ken
lucky Blue Grass and II does rs well
hero as on its native soil. 1t grew to a
heighth of 5 feet. They Experimental
also in Italian Rye Grass. 1t was plan
ted in the fall of 1887 and harvested in
July, having reached II heighth Of
about 5 feet. This grass makes the
finest winter pasturage known, being
an evergreen and never freezing.
Our people have recognized the fact
for several years that we possess n
splendid stock country and they are
gradually becoming Il stock raising
people. These experiments will tend
In great measure to give impetus to
this paying industry and in few
years from seeing an euterprising citi-
zen here and there raising his own
mules and possessing his herd of blood
ed cattle, II will have become the rule
instead of the exception and North
Louisiana will be Independent Of the
Missouri mule drover and herds of
fine cattle will have taken the place
of the common stock so numerousty
and protitiessiy roaming over the
country.

One Of the most attractive portions of
