WHAT THEY WEAR.
, frocks are the rage.

Recamier frocks are the rage.
 Long driving cloaks are of dark silk.
 Cashmere polonaises are appropriately worn over silk skirts.
 Silk gowns are de rigueur for church, par ticularly those of black.
 Elegant visiting toilets are of richly ena- broidered silk combined with lace.
 The most elegant jackets have separate waistcoats of embroidered twilled silk.
 Dressy mantles arc made of black lace and cashmere, the latter of some fashionable shade.
 All accessories of the toilet-gloves, ker- chiefs, portemonnaie, sunshade or umbrella must be as fine as possible.
 Short mantles of peau de soie are worn for church or calls. They are trimmed with fringes, and jet or silver bead loops
 The natty little street jacket grows prettier as the season advances. The chic coat is of white, trimmed with gold or silver galloon with buttons en suite.
 Dresses of old time lawn, very sheer and very much dotted and besprigged, with shirred round hats en suite, will be in de- mand for garden parties.
 Shot trimmings are feature of present millinery; tulles, feathers and flowers being fretted, flecked and diversified to a degree by the caprices of the color caldron.
 Long coats or cloaks of Suede or copper colored diagonal show waists girdled by belts of embroidered galloon. The same gal loon edges the collar and cuffs, also the Tapped front of the waist.
 Plain, straight dresses are not ''go." A modest degree of bouf fancy is absolutely essential to the perfect set of skirt; and if care and taste be exercised in the selection of hustle, the desired degree of tournure Is secured.
 Notwithstanding the popularity of the polonaise, ladies possessing conservative tastes adhere to the basque waist; and 1t is certainly more comfortable and elegant when fitted over the shapely modern corset, which is veritable triumph in coutiL
 Kerchiefs are especially ornate. Blue, rose, mauve, lilac and apple green tints vie with host of other current colors in the surah, batiste or crepe de Chine confections, embellished with festoons of lace, embroidery and tiny dots, sported by metropolitan ele gantes.
 Many bonnets have soft silk crown, with fancy straw brim in two colors, and trim mings of branched brown and green leaves. Others are of black embroidered tulle shirred on trellis frame of gold. Several oriental colors embroider, in shell patterns, the straw brim, and bunch of crimped gold thread constitutes the trimming. and Ladies' Wear Review.

DRAWING ROOM GOSSIP.

The harp, which is the oldest musical in- strument, is becoming the latest fad.
 Copper is coming into fashion as a mate rial for ornamenting mems canes, umbrellas, etc.
 There seems to be distinction with diff ference between a terra cotta dress and a mahogany colored dress.
 The woman of fashion who intends to keep up with tho procession will have @ fan to match each and every dress
 Picture frames made of shells and dried sea grasses are new, but it is not likely that they will become permanently popular.
 Japanese raindrop jars, used in eastern countries, have been introduced here and are sure to be the craze, like the potpourri.
 It is mistake now to think that the girl of the period who wears the biggest hat has the biggest head. Indeed, it is a great mis- take.
 There is much that is new and pretty in the line of silver ornaments for personal dec oration and quite beyond the fields of pinch beck
 Knickerbockers for tennis are now "bad form" Trousers, turned up, too, should be worn of white flannel, although tho very violet Scotch plaids are threatened
 Field clocks are novelty. They are on white glass, the size of target, and, mounted on a tripod, can be seen by the players a' large at tennis or any other outdoor game un the lawn.

 Her father knew at last that she was honest, and for brief while had exultation, of the kind that infames the madman's eye, swelled until it had sickened her heart with the force and fullness of it. But the emotion died under the heavy droop of humiliated honor. She had won back her name, but what had the victory cost hera Her husband was gone, her father was dying, her heart was wounded and bleeding badly.

 Softly the poor woman climbed the stairs and Jenny went into the little room which | in all her life, she had vowed never again t.; enter. Speculating she stood, wondering how it had befallen that her mother had come so speedily.
