The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-11-14

Undoubtedly, this Is TO be winter
of surprising magnificence in dress,
Judging by the princely toilets to be
found i'm the establishments where our
wealthy women get their clothes. The
dresses e receptions, dinners and
balls are largely of Venetian, old
Roman and pompadour fabrics, show
ing marvellous planning of rare col
ors intermingled with go and silver.
AS TO outlines, the originality consists
mostly in the arrangement OF the
bodices and the finish of the neck and
sleeves. In these things there are Won
derful iverstie3-antlque and historic
effects have been sought. The sleeves
are practically antiques, and the bod
ices are representations of the Vandyke
period, of the Venetian, and of the
Louis NJ. Pompadour effects are
numerous. One cannot help wonder
ing how those dainty girls who wear
copies of toilets OF the infamous Pom
padour would feel ii they read who
and what she was.
The two wraps sketched are picked
ont OF the great variety now in vogue.
The neat little winter jacket is strik-
ingly original in design and very be-

faShiOn notes.
Buttons as a garniture are in high
favor.
CHNcHILLA is still the favorite fur
for children's wear.
FANCY ornaments of let are used in
profusion upon the winter millinery.
PERSIAN and Oriental designs are
conspicuous in both silks and woolens.
THE newest fur collars are deep and
pointed, forming V Mt the back,
and coming to point at the waist-line
in front.
The fancy for green does not abate
in the least, and will doubtless continue
to be the reigning color throughout the
entire winter.
A MOST exquisite combination cos
tune recently noted was composed of
bois dc rose satin, black velvet, and
light blue MORE.
BLACK bear fur promises to be the
popular all-purpose for the coming sea-
son. 1t is n beautiful, silky fur, and
generally becoming.
WITH the exception of the strictly
tailor-made costumes, two, and some
times three and four, materials are the
rule for the new gowns.
TRIMMING fur is seldom used about
the bottom of fur or cloth coats, but
silk and brocade pelisses are sometimes
trimmed all around with fur,

Instead OF being a coward. the leading

The first fashionable ball Of the sea-

Aside from the great display of new
evening toilets, it was remarkable for
the use of the "quizzer." That is the

and as doubtless seen by the reader at
the theater and elsewhere. But this was
its first exploitation az a ball. Not less
than n score of the bellies belonging to

"QuiZZers," and handled them with all
the pretty coluetry AZ their command.

In this particular instance, one glove

at the breast, while the other was of

To such nicely does fashion extend

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE
Coquettish breakfast caps are the
latest affectation of young housewives
and unmarried girls. The picture
shows two examples of this sort of
head-dress The casual observer may
see no difference in this dress from
those that are usually worn 10y wait
resses, though theirs are generally
coarser in texture. The really expert
eye can discern at glance why these
two likenesses are those of mistresses
and not of serving the distinc-
ton is in the hair. No fashionable
housewife now permits her servant
girls to wear bangs. All the indica-
tons of intelligence thas belong 10 a
high and bare forehead are given mp
to the menials, while the women TO
whom, for politcness sake, must be ac-
corded superior intellectually, lower
their foreheads by means of such
frizzled bangs as are shown In the
picture. All danger of confounding
the employers and the employees stops
at the neck. No waitress in stylish
dining-room would lie allowed to wear
either the high collar of velvet and
lace which Cncircles the neck of one
OF these figures, nor would she be
permitted even the moderate lowneSs
Of corsage displayed il the other in
stance. But these directions are
for masculine readers. VIA ladies
will care TO know is that breakfast
caps have come into vogue again for
them, and that great display of good
taste may be employed in forming
them so that they will be suitable and
decorative TO the heads upon which
they will be placed. There are reports
from London and Paris in regard to
hair dressing THAI the bang must GO, y
and to a certain extent it has already
gone from those cities. L am told by
a tourist that high foreheads (some of
them suspected of being slightly
artificiaD are becoming the rage. The
hair is brushed back from the face,
crimped and rolled over cushion.
If the forehead is too low for this style
the hair is cut and depilatories to eradi-
| cate the roots are used, thus reviving Il
| kind of Disagreement that was prac-
ticad by our grandmothers Some of
us are able to remember ladies who had
triangular tuft of white hair over the
center of the forehead long before the
rest of their head became gray. That
marked the spot which in their earlier
days they had denuded of hair in order
to produce the high pointed forehead.

obsolete, and they let the hair grow

entirely new. The other wrap is a
graceful Russian circular fur-lined
cloak, handsomely trimmed and com
Portable, while the shape is one that
looks well on any figure. The shape
will subsequently be seen in many col
ors as well as in black, and is usually
lined with squirrel fur. Great varieties
are also represented in outdoor gar
ments. The wraps, whether long or
short, are uncommonly stylish and
handsome. Satin and velvet stripes,
Indian stuffs, rare broche, intermingled
with gold and silver threads, are seen,
and many are elaborate products of the
loom, or are handsomely trimmed with
costly fur or ornate garnitures.
Many women with small purses wear
long and rich cloaks That is to say,
they cover shabbiness of dress with
rich mantle, so that they may appear
in outdoor dress like wives or daugh
tiers of millionaires, no matter if they
have to be threadbare when indoors.

New ORLEANS, La, April 18.-Today's
game was only witnessed by about 800
people, but was very exciting. Pat Low
cry, OF Brooklyn, New Orleans new second
baseman, made his debut, and was too
nervous to do anything. Others in the
nine played as bad, but none of the errors
counted. 1t was pitchers battle, and
Widner scored his third successive shut
out. Nichols pitched again for Memphis
and did fine work. Vaughn and the rest
of the team gave him magnificent support.
Each side only got in three hits, but
the difference was that New Orleans
got all its hits together. Fuller and Sneed
made doubles in succession and earned a
run. Werden followed with another
double, but McAleer came 30 near sprint
ing under il that Sneed stopped between
second and third so Us to get back in case
of q fly catch. He was held at third and
afterward thrown out at the plate. 1t was
the only run OF the game. Memphis
claimed run in the fourth. McAleer led off
with three-bagger. Phelan made long
drive TO left and Keinzle juggled the fly.
McAleer started for home and crossed
the plate. After several attempts Keinze
finally held the ball, threw TO the plate
and Bligh threw to third, when the umpire
decided McAleer out for starting before
the ball was caught. Memphis claimed the
fly was caught as soon as the ball touched

A SIX YEAR OLD CHILD ASSAULTED
By A NEGRO MAN.

Left Bleeding, Unconscious and Prob
ably Fatally Acknowledgment in This
City and Jailed.

A case OF the most fiendish brutality
was brought to light yesterday forenoon
and the perpetrator is now behind the
bars of the county Jail. Several days ago
Dora Adlock, tho six year old child Of a
widow lady living near Frayscr station in
the Sixth district, while on her way TO q
neighbours, all alone, was met on the road
by q negro named Robert Lewis, nine
teen years old, who forcibly took the child
in his arms and carried her to an untcn-
antcd house some distance from the road,
and there subjected his helpless and inno-
cent victim 10 the most cruel and brutal
treatment. After accomplishing his hell
ish purpose the brute fed, and left the
poor child bleeding and screaming from
her injuries. The time passed by when
the child should have been at home; the
mother became greatly distressed and
mado her fears known To kind neigh
bors, who at once instituted search for the
missing girl. After several hours search
she was found lying near tho ROADSIDE,
where she had dragged herself from the
house.
The irail little creature was picked up
nearer dead than alive and carried home
and medical assistance summoned. Her
injuries are Of such u nature that IL will take
her some time 10 recover. In the mean
time posse OF citizens have been scour-
ing the surrounding country for the licnd-
ish scoundrel, whose identity was clearly
established from the fact that the child had
known him before. The search failed, for
tunatcly for the negro, for had he been
caught he would most likely have been
dealt with summarily. All this time ho
