A HANDSOME COUNTER.
The Most Ornamental of Abllene's
Fine Bank Fixtures.

There has lately been put in position
in Kirby's bank on Second street, one |
Of the handsomest and most costly |
counters in the state. Indeed we
doubt if there is in Kansas its equal for
finish and beauty.
The fixture is about eight feet high
and extends the full length'of the bank
room. having windows for the cashiers
and tellers and a door for the private
Office. 1t is constructed Of solid black
walnut with brass rod ornaments and
elegantly carved uprights. The lower
part is divided into panels which are
inlaid with ash, ebony. walnut and
mahogany in tasteful and artistic de-
signs, which lend much beauty to the
appearance. Heavy French plate glass
are set in the upper panels and plate
glass mirrors reflect the patrons faces
with absolute perfection.
The carving on the panels and the
elegant finish of the workmanship is
especially worthy of mention as it
rivals the skill of the largest establish
ments and the designs are happily APP
propriate and unique. Messr5. Kruger
& Thompson, the makers, have GER
tainly Outdone themselves in this work
of art and can afford to be proud OF 1t.
Mr.. o. f. Sibbald, the painter, also de-
serves credit.
This is by no means the only orna-
: Iment in Mr.. Kirby'S attractive bank

Household.

If in the busy round Of household life,
if in the craze for fashionable folles for
house decorations there could be pause
given to ambitions, and in some cases
over burdened mothers, that there might
be n time to consider, it is possible there
would be more earnest and sustained eff

the angulaTities that he is supposed TO

be used IN this way when no other jet is
on the costume. The sleeve that dress
makers designate as the ''push-up
sleeve is exceedingly unbecoming, even
to slender arms.
ola Surprise de la Course lis the name
given to a dress which was in high favor
at the English races. At first view it
appears somewhat like a plain redingOte,
but when thrown open in front displays
petticoat and waistcOat of great rich
ness.
Tea-gowns in new fashion, after the
style of the Egyptian "abaya, - are
made OF Open-work Hindu cloth, with
embroidered Jokes and sleeves long and
flowing. They are open down the front
over soft India silk petticoats, and are
held in lightly at the waist with glrdIes
of silk cord
Eight or ten rows of shirrIng around
the waist line are employed by French
modistes to hold the fullness of blouse
waists of sheer white lawn. The ma
terial then falls two inches below the
shirring, and lace or embroidered edg-
ing, also two inches wide, is sewed to
the edge of the muslin.
Surphce waists of thin dresses have
the fullness from the shoulders pTettilv
shaped into q pointed yoke by drawing
ribbon through casing made by facing
an inch-wide strip from each armhOle to
a point lower down on the edge of the
front. The ribbons meet at the point on
the bust and are tied in bow.
A pretty waist, little different from
the endless tucked ones that every one is
wearing, is made of soft surah or India
silk in any plain color 1t is shirred
across the shoulders in the back to the
depth OF about four inches, and the same
at the shoulders in the front. The full
ness is then drawn down over plain
lining and confined at the waist line with
two or three rows of shirring, and is
worn with sash or any of the pretty
belts so much in vogue this summer. A
muttOu-leg sleeve is the proper ac-
Compartment TO this waist, which is
much prettier in reality than in the de-
scription.

Maryland State Grange.

The Maryland State Grange met
in the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation Hall. in Baltimore, on Tues
day.
Reports were submitted by the
master and other grange officers,
showing about 1000 members and o
generally prosperous condition of
the grange. Master Murray, in his
report, says that it is true the past
year has not been as prosperous q
one as the Maryland farmers could
wish. They have had to face poor
crops and poorer prices. But even
this is no reason why they should
lose heart or repine. 1t should rath.
er arouse them to more diligent
efforts to put into practice the prin-
cip!es of the order, and to leave no
stone unturncd, to shrink from no
sacrifice of personal prejudice, 10
better their condition by all right Gus
means 1t is an i'll wind that blows
nobody any good, and if unprosper-
Gus years shall avail to drive farmers
to organize and CO operate, he for
one shall be ready to thank God for
the hard times that shall be produc-
tive of so much permanent good to
them all
The report cordially commends
the State Agricultural College and
Experiment Station and President
Alvord. Good to the farmers of the
State must result from cordial CO.
operation between the grange and the
college and station. Master Murray
recommends an aggressive policy,
aad that the Maryland farmers shall,
in these days of push and enterprise,
lay aside their conservatism and
drive along roads that have not be-
fore been driven along.
