Fashion Notes.

Jetted velvet is a novel fabric.
Braided cloth jackets arc the caprict
of the seas on.
Leather is now utilizsd for buttons or
outdoor heavy wraps.
AL the new hats have the trimmings
heavily massed at the back.
Embroidered crcpa lisse is a favorite
trimming for evaaing costume.
Silver is this season preferred to gold
as a setting for handsome jewels.
Among other old fsshioas II jswelry
looped earrings have been reyiv!l.
Princesse dresses and polona1ses, open
ing over plain skirts, are the ideal cletf
gowns.
Cloth and fur combined make stylish
eapotes for wear with failor-made
gowns.
Black monkey fur is almost the only
allowable fur trimming with deep
#E HHs4
mourning.
Shoulder capes and NUTS Of gray os-
trich feathers arc clumsy looking ard
expensive novelties.
Bonnets of striped or plaid velvet look
pretty enough in show windows, but are
universally unhecomiag.
Very pretty models for children's cos
tunes are of broad cloth with the yoke
and cuffs of plush or velvet.
Soft-croWned round hats, of cloth or
velvet, are IN great fave- with young
ladies, and are easily made at home.
Charming effects are produced BY
having sleeves Of long mantles Of striped
plush or. velvet while the garment is Of
plain fabric.
The picturesque modsls for houss
dresses made by Worth this season al
low for grace and comfort as well as
beautiful effects.
The London-msde garments this sea-
son have i warm aud cosey effect. all
being snug fitting about the waist and
Of ample proportions.
Stylish turbans Of seal are among the
pretty things in head gear this scasoa.
Two pompons Of fluff fur are used as
their only decoration.
Beautiful white broadclotb wraps
have d trimming of bear skin or brown
marten, and ii there is any braiding that

Has It ever occurred to anybody what
Fery trying and difficult position that
II mother-in-law to the President is? 1t
said, and is most likely true, that
MFs. Folsom could have married MIR.
Cleveland herself when ne was Mayor
v Buffalo. The story, which comes
pretty straight, is that it was suggested
y Mr. Cleveland, he being OF marriage-
lAls agge, and being thrown necessarily
eh with Mrs. Folsom as executor of
husbands estate and guardian of
aer child, that q match with his friends
Fidow would be eminently suitable.
rs Cleveland assented to the eternal
hfness Of the thing and authorized a
kIaad to sound Mrs. Folsom. But Mrs.
Fplsem declined to entertain the propo-

tol.ia Ian are the best of friends, albeit,

fer him to sit with his back to the

Robes OF Birds Plunaae,

Q collect and cure immense quantities Of

hipped to Spain. which, when they
cached their destination after a long

worthless, their beauty having baen en-

Whr women arc Nervon.

Professor Redom, the eminent German
hxqienist, declared in a recent lecture
shat the of women is rener-
aIlv owing to two defects-anenia,
ssused by the silly notion hat q hearty
s~ppetite is unfeminine, and fresh-air
starvation, accompanied by a lack of x
ercise. To their fondness for fresh air.
their open wi lows at night, and their
constant exrr-ise, he attributes tbe
greater beauty Of the English women.
aThe beauty of the German women, !" he
lies in their face, with its chang
isg and amiable expression. The beauty
IT the English lies in the whole body
and IN their health. German women
hs adds, fare martyrs to an unnatural
state Of civilization, and if they would
only initiate the English, hysteria would
diminish in frequency"

Deen made sore with wonder, a shining
olack bug shot out from under the bIacl

ABOUT the cushion. There was a thin.
delicate gold ring about its body, which
was attached to the pin and chain. The
pug locked like q beetle, and had /,

and the following information was given
concerning the animal:
That sir, is to be the swell thing in
laoies' Jewelry. The style originated in
1ucatan, where the ladies wear two OF
three at a time, and it will not be lono
before every fashiopable lady in the CITY
will be wearing one"
Women of sound mental character2,
asked the listener.
Yes, sir, intellectual women. We are
now busy getting out some on the order
OF w~ell-known ladies. The backs of the
bugs arc hard and admit of mounting in
rubles or diamonds without injury to
the bug, but this is merely a matter OF
taste. The rings encircling the body
are frequently set in rubies, though the
chief beauty of the ornament is to have
the back mounted. just imagine the
oddlty OF wearing a live insect set in
diamonds. Why, I tell you, sir, it is
one of the greatest crazes that ever
struck the city. They can be worn in
the hair and at the neck, aud the chain
that you see attached prevents them
from crawling only just SO far. Yes /
know it makes one shudder to think of
it, but there is no torture too great for a
stylish woman.
"Expensive2 No, the bugs alone cost
81, and the quality of the gold and
style of stones must depend upon the
purse Of the purchaser. They are very
easily kept, as all a lady has to do after
wearing n is to lay it near u banana,
VIII re the odor alone will keep it alive.
If the craze reaches the point we pre-
dict, there will be men learning the
trade mounting bugs' backs.
