grimaccS. After numerous alterations
of his face and hats, with verse sung
to each, he produces wide soft brim
with no crown to it. BY putting this
brim on his head in various positions
and with an equal number of dents,
turning up and down, and alterations
of positions on the head, he makes it
form an important part i'll as is of
portraits. The new sombrero hat for
women is susceptible of about as many
and violent holdings. In the picture
it is turned up in front, the blim at
that point being pinned temporarily to
the crown; but the pl:ab!o web of
straw can be twisted, pucker2d and
crunched into innumerable forms, and
one hat of that sort ought to last II

India silk with big figures, such as
palm leaves, is being made up into
summer dresses, and few of them are
seen in the streets of the town, where
they are somewhat spectacular in eff
feet. They will be suitable enough at
the summer resorts and anywhere in
doors, but for Broadway promenading
they are too gaTish. Some of the de-
signs in this fabric are so huge that Tho
shoulders of thin woman are hardly
broad enough to contain an entire fig
ure; and they do say that two sisters,
of slimness almost sufficient to qualify
them for living skeletons in museum,
have had gowns made out of palm
leaf pattern so big that half of it is
placed on the back of ones waist and
half on the other. Thus the complete
thing is shown when they are walking
matched together, but the leaf is halved
with either when the other is away

Fashion Notes.


ROSE weddings are fashionable.
FLOWER clusters are yelled with tulle.
ENGLISH blouse waists are in high
favor.
VELVET revers are added to bingham
dresses.
DRAPED corsages seldom have both
sides alike.
THERE is q revival of accordion
plated skirts.
CRoss-BARRED muslin is again used
for inexpensive dresses.
For boys from to nothing is moro
popular than the sailor suit.
ALL-ovER embroidery is used for
dressy guimpes for little girls.
PALE pink and olive checked ging-
hams are worn by schoolgirls.
GRAY nuns-veiling with wide selv-
age makes pretty summer toilet.
MORE is now preferred to surah as
the foundation for black lace dresses.
SILK knife plating, which turns over
like a frill, is used in the necks of
dresses.
LARGE Directoire bonnets do not
find favor in New York except for car
riage wear.
RIBBONS not more than three inches
wide are used for sashes which tie in
front and at the side.
EGYPTIAN null, which comes in va
riety of artistic shades, makes pretty
and inexpensive summer dresses.
SMALL visites are shown made of
dOve-colored or cream-white cloth
trimmed with rich silk passementeries
or covered with braiding.
The latest London horror is the din
ner coat" of rompadour brocade, some
thing like mans dress coat, but cut
short in front, and with the tails pro-
longed to train. 1t opens over a
waistcoat carefully tittel, has a coat
neck with revers of dark velvet, over
which trails jabot of white lace, ell
bow sleeves with more lace, and is nj
together fearful and wonderful gar
meut.

for her by the reduction of the tournure
in size.
my dear young lady," said severe
old physician TO belle who was under
his treatment, II think you will gain
strength in your weak back, for see
that you hats taken off the big hustle
which you have been wearing for II
year, and that your dress TOW hangs
somewhere near yourself. [ b / "
your weakness of spine has been
caused, rs much as by anything else,
by the weight and heat of that pre-
posterous burden. Now / shall look
for an effect from the medicines L give
you"
"I hope So" the girl quietly replied.
She didn't think it worth while to eX-
plain to the venerable doctor that
what she had been wearing was con-
struction of wire open work, very
light in weight, and af1orling really a
great deal of ventilation; whelels,
Whist she had put on in its stead was

Physicians are out OF their depth, ISL
ally, when they undertake 10 lie wise
about feminine apparel.
Very elegant tea-gowns, like the
three sketches III this article, have sud-
denly become conspicuous objects IN
the wardrobes of the wealthy. Es-
pecially is this true of brides. A fine
md various assortment of tca-gowns IS
reckoned an essential part of every pre-
tentious trousseau, and Of oil the nu-
meroUs June brides being made among
rich families of this city few neglected
to obey this latest behest of fashion.
Hardly any within of faneiful construc-
ton or of curious combinations of ma
terials is considered too odd for this
purpose. The long, dropping sleeves
are q feature, and usual arrangement
of colors is to have the robe white eX-
cept down the front, where stimulation
OF underdress in some dark or bright
hue is disclosed. Sometimes the e!ab-
Grafton of tea-gown makes it q great
deal like ball dress, by reason of its
open elbow sleeves, its N-shaped cut
away at the neck, and its ample train.
Speaking of brides. it is Il positive
fact that great many Of them indulge
in morphine. This is only temporary
indiscretion, however, and is supposed
to be excused by the nervousness of the
occasion. 1t used to be the proper
thing for delicate bride to faint just
before the ordeal of the ceremony at
the altar Now she has to take it into
her head to allay her nervousness by
means of an injection of morphia be-
meath the skin. This is done an hour
or two before the time for the cere-

About the vacation? Oh, no. The
vacation was all right, hut the proprie

Especial NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE !
There has been n declaration of in
dependence by women in the matter of
dress, but it is not ordinarily carried
into effect to any radical extent. PEP
sonal taste is eratified, but commonly
within the bounds of fashions dicta-
ton. Sometimes we see curious free
dom, however, in the matter of hat.
This untrammeled exercise of free will
is apt to he reserved for the country
resorts, but nearly every day one can
see in Broadway hat of not only i'm.
mcnse dimensions but of unique shape
The first drawing in this article illus
tratcs such an outbreak of airy fancy
1t shows hat that is capable of taking
on many different shapes, for it is like
Mexican sombrero rs to fleXibility,
although it is made of fine straw. In
one of our vaudeville entertainments q

comic songs In his own language can
not be understood by many of his audi
tors, but he realizes his characters very
ingeniously by means ofmerely changes
of hats in connection with his own

with plain goods of a lighter SHADE of
the same color, or of some contrasting
yet harmonizing hue. 1t will he seen
that in this toilet there is large, fluff
fly bow making a tournure. The dimin-
ishment of the hustle goes on in fashion
able society, but it is not yet abolished,
and its place is often taken by some eX-
terror arrangements of the draperies.
The finest gowns prepared for summer
wear at the resorts have very small
tournures, and no large ones are now
constructed by the best dressmakers.
Nevertheless, we shall have some of
the abnormally big ones in sight all
through the season, partly because a
few women like them, but principally
on account of the slowness with which
changes in such things become general.
The wealthy and exquisite are prompt
to alter their outlines, but the multi
tude of tolerably good dressers are well
nigh season behind. But let not the
carpers, ever ready to make mistaken
assertions regarding the effect of mod
ish attire upon women's health, con-
clude that there will be physical gain

The marriage portion of the Garfield
young people will be ample, as Mrs,
Garfield is rich and the Masons have
always lived in good style. General
Garfield's estate Melted the widow
about $4,000, and in addition she re-
ceived $25, ZOO insurance on his life.
Congress, it will be remembered, voted
her an annual pension of $1,000, and
gave her besides $4,000, which would
have been the balance of the salary
due the President at the end of his
first year in Office had he lived. The
amount of the popular subscription
raised directly after Garfeld's death
when invested for her in Government
bonds, aggregated $4,000. 1t will
be observed, therefore, that she is
quite comfortable when it comes to
hard cash, and her yearly income must
be at least $4,000.

PROTECT HOME INDUSTRIES.

During the late campaign we were
squealing about protection to home in

cigars shipped into lola we would infer
that our merchants were protectionists
only in theory and not in practice. OF
course that is your privilege; but
whether it is best for lola or not the
future will tell. 1t is hard matter to
introduce lola cigars unless the mer-
chants are inclined to handle them. 1

tory with five to six persons employed.

this industry to the extent of their
ability, l would be pleased to remain
with you and supply lola and vicinity
to the extent of my means.

We think that about the most
profitable enterprise that could engage
the attention of our Board of Trade
and the enterprising men both of the
city and surrounding country, would
be to work up the establishment of a
sugar factory and if possible get it in
operation by next summer. There is
no crop that is as sure, and that will
yield so large returns for the time and
attention required as sugar cane. 1t
can be raised on the thinnest soil and
is less susceptible 10 injury from
drought. The yield is from ten tons
at low estimate, to twenty tons per
acre. The price paid by the mills this
season was two dollars per ton. There
is no danger of over production and no
danger of competition. Of course the
plant required is expensive, but we
think there would be little trouble in
disposing of sufficient stock to raise
the necessary means. We have motto.
ed that in some places, farmers have
taken stock and have paid it
in cane after operations began.
The west wing of the carriage shops
could, no doubt, be utilized, and with
but little work, could be made to an
swer the purpose admirably. We
would like to hear from some of our
public sbirited citizens on the subject.
