The newest innovation in fashions
has been introduced by Ellen Terry,
who recently appeared in an overdress
knit of pure Silken thread. The outnt
was striking. and is said to be beautiful,
but dresses of silken thread are hardly
cheap enough to become popular.
The new Cadogan knot, rather
graceful way of wearing the hair, is
much in vogue. The hair on the fore
head is lightly waved and the knot at
the back is twice as long vertically as it
is horizontally. from the knot there
hang two half-curled tresSeS, which
Just touch the shoulder.
The city of Buffalo is becoming great
place for women to practice various
professions. According to a late can
yass it is found that Buffalo supports
six artists, one florist, one hairdreSser,
one elocutiOniSt, two dreSSmakerS, one
milliner, one carpet weaver, one manu-
facturer of magnetic appliances, ane
manufacturer of articles for cleaning
and polishing, one French platter, one
proprietor of an employment bureau,
one restorative artist and one laundreSs.
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt-Damala, who
is at present at CauteretS, performed a
plucly deed the other day, says the
London Telegraph. She drove TO Rail-
liere in tilbury. holding the reins her
self. and behind her followed her sister
and several friends in a four-horse
.sbreak." Nine. Bernhard crossed the
Benquez bridge. which spans danger
Gus torrent flowing through rocks of
granite, in safety, but the horses at
tached to the "break" became fright
ened and catastrophe was imminent.
The great tragedienne, however, sprang
lightly out of her tilbury, and, at the
peril of her life, got the frightened ami
mails to cross the bridge, and thus saved
both herself and her party.
A London paper recently made some
some extrayagant statements as 10 the
weight OF women's dresses. The fact is
that the ordinary costume worn by a
woman of medium stature is remarkably
light. Very few weigh over nine
pounds, dresses of silk and jet being the
heaviest. a dsesS of cloth and jet aver
ages about six pounds, a long velvet
dress for evening wear about five, q
cloth winter dress five, tailor-made
dress about six pounds, and awrap of
solid jet three pounds, while dress of
surah silk weighs somewhere in the
neighborhood of three and one-half
pounds only. Summer dresses weigh
from half pound to two pounds.

in great numbers in smart chevlot.
tweed or mixed wool costumes.
Next, we may feel sure that no matter
what may be her struggles and resist
ance. the woman of fashion must sue
cumb to the comfOrt-destroying hustle;
it has ''bobbed up serenely" again this
fall, although in slightly diminished
form. But the little hard packs stuffed
with hair and backache are ban
iShed, il is to be hoped forever and aye.
The hustle of this season is two hoops
OF steelS about two inches wide run
through the back breadths of a dress.
and therefore stout enough to sustain
the weight of any skirt so that there
will be no sagging in the back. These
steels are shorter than the shortest of
the set of three used last season, max
ing the size of the panier much less.
The shortest is placed four inches be-
low the skirt band, and the second four
inches below that. Such is the dictum
for street, calling, afternoon reception,
theater and church dresses.
House dresses, especially those with
trains, may be worn with the same SyS-
TEN or extension or without any panler
whatever, which is easily decided by
the cut and fashion of the gown.
Besides the trial of sitting on these
steelS women must contend with an
other annoyance in connection with
these devices, namely, the p0king OF
the steel ends through the foundation
skirt, especially if it be of silk. That
this must inevitably take place goes
without saying, but the evil day may be
put off by stitching piece of stout
tape an inch wide down each side of the
laDr. l. n
using the same broad, stout tape across
the back breadths for the steelS to run
through.
a new material is introduced for these
foundation skirts. 1t if a sort of shiny,
wiry, slippery bunting, which is much
nicer than cambria, much lighter than
farmers satin, much cheaper and more
lasting than silk, and that slips on quite
as well as any of the three.
For calling and reception dresses the
material will be embroidered broad
cloths combined with pushes, benga-
lines and velvets. The exquisite cash
mereS which have been imported this
season, with deliberately worked borders
in subdued cOlOrS. combined with soft
India silks, are found to be too delight
full. feature of the summers wear TO

embroidered and lace-trimmed, and its
exquisite plated ruffle of finest lace in
the neck and falling over the bosom
and shadowing the hands with its filmy
daintiness. Women should give thanks
indeed for the revival which has brought
back the lace ruffle in the sleeves. I'm

cloth coats of last season, which so
shamed and put out of eOuntenance
the tan-cOlOred garments of the year be-
fore. no longer lend a iaunty air to
shapely figures. All kinds and STYLES
of long garments, draped in shawl and
Scarf-like fashion, meet the present
demand. The directOire coat, with its
huge lappelS, immense hip pockets.
wide cuffs and long tails, is the smart
and taking style. the Empire cloak
comes next, which should be pleasing
news TO those who possess the peasant
cloak of last spring, for with the addi-
ton of shoulder cape. and over this
hood. and broad belt TO encircle the
waist, such wraps may be altered into a
very fair resemblance to the Empire
fashion.
For travelling wraps ulSters are always
good form. They are not now made
with loose fronts, but fit the figure
snugly, are made very long, have hip
pockets. and have one rever which
turns back over the shoulder. Long
broken plaidS are used. Collars on Ill
SterS as well as bOdiceS are cut a little
lower, and set down a tTitle lower also
on the neck of the dress. For travelling
and for evening carriage wear long
wraps have been introduced, made from
Scotch plaid double shawls, especially
the blue and green plaid of the Stuart
clap. They are simply gathered about
the neck and shocked or Shirred down
from four to six inches. Immense
loose capuchin hoods hang over the
back, belt passes across the back and,
slipping through an opening in a side
seam, hooks about the waist underneath
the loosely hanging fronts. The gar
ment may be lined or not. as Scotch
shawls are always dOuble-faced, but the
fronts hang better if they are faced with
silk. The fringe of the shawl is the
finish of the cloak all round
For occasions of elegant costuming
the French draped wraps are the suit
able thing, with long, loose fronts. some
times plated all the way down and
sometimes merely gathered at the
throat. They are made in soft failles
and in brocades, in cloths, and the rich
est of them of camel'S-hair shawls.
| Similar cloakS are made of heavy, coarse
serges in large plaids for every day
wear.
Some few of the garments which are
| a cross between a cloak and last years
tea gown are shown. These are fur
trimmed, and very long fur boas are to
be worn with them. The sleeves are
invariably flowing.
Short mantleS are not displayed at
| all.
House dresses, both for morning and
afternoon wear, are slower in develop
ing their styles. Those displayed are
but repliqua of last years designs.
! Reception and ball dresses have not as
yet presented any new features.
1t is said that the fashion of removing
the bonnet at the theater and opera is
| growing so rapidly that millinerS have
been driven to the verge of distraction

waist. COlored corSetS are now in great
favor, the light shades being used for
summer, such as dove, pale rose, clean
blue and scarlet. Black cOrsetS are also
worn. being liked by many as well as
are black stockings. A new fancy COM
bines two colOrS in the same corset, as
a Gobelin blue satin corset with the
bones covered with a copper red. or
black corset striped with pistache

color to that on the bust and hips.
Jean, coutille and Sateen are the fab
ricS of washing cOrSetS that may be
cleaned at home, while those of satin
need professional scourer. Summer
corsets of transparent canvas as thin as
lace are held to the figure by zone OF
sateen. For nursing mothers are cor
sets that have slit down each
breast that can be easily opened or
can be closed by single but

added three wide side steels. Pretty

this sort of sentiment as long as it is
done in a sentimental way, but when it
is taken as basis upon which to erect a
life structure it will be found to be
something like feeding on the
scent of new-mOWn hay, drinking
only hOneyed words and breathing some
ones dear name. Sentiment is pretty
enough, but it lacks in substantial
qualities. When you enter into the

LIKE THE SALT WHICH GIVETH SAVIOR.
Danville IN. " Advertiser:
A lovely woman, faithful daughter
and kind sister, respected and beloved,
committed suicide one day last week
because her sister. aged twenty, was
about to be married, while she at the
age of thirty, had not the courage to
face the world as an ''Old maid" Yet
the old maids of the world are the salt
which giveth SAVIOR. Women of
honorable independence, winning
their way in life where many "lords
of CREATION miserably fail, the
grand dependence of parents and broth
ers and sisters, they tighten for others
the burdens of married life which they
do not choose to carry for themselves.
The title of ''old maid ought to be con-
sidered badge of nobility, instead of a
title of failure in life.
THIS is AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.
Pittsburg Commercial.
Pure, ardent love is not an animal
passion. 1t is charitable, reasonable
and Just. The man or woman who has
this love will never be troubled with
jealousy or with regrets. A love that
is not charitable and rational is not of
heaven, and is. therefore, likely to prove
unfortunate. Be sure your love is pure
and honest, and that you are honestly
loved i'll return, and your married life
will be continued round of happiness.
Pure love can only come from a pure
mind and honest heart.

Flowers of all sizes, forms and mate
rial are in great demand. A new use
for them has been found. Enameled
daisies of small size are worn as buttons
on dainty evening bodices. For the
same purpose are shown small silver
pansIes and buttercups.
GarnetS are coming into popular favor.
A bonnet pin has ball of small garnets
made to represent a raspberry. Clasps
and buckles are set with garnets. A
garnet fly makes pretty scarf pin,
while representations in garnet of but
terflies or bees are worn in the hair.
Amber is worn again, and will prob
ably grow in popularity. Combs of pure
amber are beautiful in dark hair. A
pretty design is topped with large
amber acorn. Tortoise shell hair-pins
continue in favor. Butterflies and birds
of glittering stones are worn in the hair.
A handsome butterfly brooch of enamel
has the wings outlined with brillants.

warranted to stand anything and keep

A DIFFERENCE.

From your dainty glass you sip
The rarest wine:
Only bitter dregs and lees
Are left in mine.
The sweetest fruit you have
In all the land:
Toashes mine has turned
Within my hand.
Your conquests you count Ger
And little dream
My love is greater far
Than all they seem.
A thousand hearts are yours
You care for none;
I'd give my life TO have
The heart of one.
