Most OF the French gowns still retain
bouffant back.
One thing most noticeable in all
gowns is the increasing tendency to
elaborate details in the sleeve
The old-fashioned grenadine is again
seen in some of the imported dresses.
Many are woven with satin stripes to
simulate the ribbon effects which have
been for a long timo popular in net
dresses.
Skirts of walking gowns are made a
little longer and they generally touch
the ground in the back. For the
house demi-trains are once more popu.
lar and many handsome imported
gowns arc made up in this manner.
Plain killed skirts without any
drapery are very fashionable, and their
first cousin in style the accordion skirt
will in all probability he more worn
than any other style during the sum
mer.
Sashes are all the rage and no wo-
man, no matter what her age, who can
possibly have one, considers her ward
robe complete without this addition to
it. Some think they make an old per-
son look younger, while others con-
slider them absurd for any but young
people.
Hats, rs rule, are low and fiat; but
the trimming brings them up to any
height desired. This is decidedly Il
flower season, and art rivals nature in
the variety and beauty of the blossoms
produced.
Blouse waists, made in both plain
and fancy materials, promise to be even
more popular than last season. These
help to give variety to costumes, as
several skirts can be worn with the
same waist; they are particularly ap-
propriate for young persons.
A charming bonnet is one of close
lifting shape made of crepe and en-
broidered net OF the new shade OF green
called SaHIc. Tho crown is made of
putilngs OF crepe caught into a largo
flve-pronged buckle. Tho trimming is
brought from the back over to the front
where it forms knot On top is n
mass OF small pansies, cowslips and
roses. Tho strings are embroidered
net caught with spray of roses. -

into the swftest part of the current. They
crouched stolidly, looking at the shores,
while between them, dressed in
white and kneeling with her face turned
heavenward, was n girl or years old
She seemed stricken with paralysis until
she came opposite the tower, and then she
turned her face to the operator She was
so close they could see big tears on her
cheeks, and her pallor was as death The
helpless men ON shore shouted to her to
keep up her courage, and she resumed her
devout attitude and disappeared under the
trees of a projecting point short distance
below.
The body of Daniel Payton has been re-
covered, and near him was his horse. The
heroism of this modern Paul Revere will
be remembered in Johnstown and handed
down from one generation to another. He
tried to warn the people; he mounted his
horse and rode through the city crying to
the people to fly for their lives, that the dam
was breaking, but the people only laughed
ut his alarm and remained in their homes
to be caught few minutes later in the flood
that carried death on its bosom, and Daniel
Payton was also overtaken and drowned.
At New Florence were two young men
who should be crowned as true heroes
Their dress indicated them to be dudes bub
they were brave in every sense OF the
word They doffed their clothing and
formed lifo-saving crew of two members,
and did work worthy of men expert
enced in sterner walks of life. Their
plan of operation was simple, but
good one. railroad tie was Sc
cured and one of tho men fastened
himself to it with n rope, making crude
fe-preserver. He allowed himself enough
rope to work easily, similar plan was
adopted by his companion, and line was
tied on the shore. Their work began when
they saw an old man coming down
the seething current, and they
plunged in after him. The timber
to which they were attached
buoyed them up sufficiently and they Sc
cured the man, who was taken ashore and
was able to walk, although he was much
exhausted by the cold and fear of drown
ing A woman and little girl were the
next saved These three were from Cam
bria City. The young men kept at work
until ton or twelve persons were rescued.
They refused to give their names.

TWO KINGS Az DINNER.
Their Lack of Courtcsy and Absence OF
Etlauettr.


Etiquette.
The Duke OF Wellington used to toll
story OF Louis XVIII, King OF France.
The Duke was taking familiar din
ncr with the old King and the Princes
SOS of his court, the Duchess OF Angou-
leme and the Duchess OF Berri. Upon
the table at dessert was placed dish
OF early Strawberries. The king delib-
erately poured them all out into his
own plate, covered them with cream
and sugar and ate them, without offer
ing any to the ladies or apologizing for
not doing so.
Lord Mnhon, tho historian, on hear
ing the Duke relate this anecdote,
capped it with another. William I'LL,
King of England, dining one day with
his wife, Queen Mary, and Princess
Anne, afterward Queen Ammo, ate the
contents of dish of early peas with
out word of apology to the two ladies.
The Duke of Wellington laughed and
said, "Aye, hope 1t is not q royal Gus
tom." His guests must have known
what he meant by his remark. He had
recently gone through some trouble
some and some disgusting experiences
with that very vulgar and disreputable
King, George w., of whom the Duke
afterward said that "he really could
act like gentleman-for fifteen min
utes."
There are no "nobles" more proud of
their ancient lineage and fine breeding
than those of Spain. Wellington, who
lived among them for several years,
said that they formed little cotorie
about the court at Madrid, never lived
upon their estates, had no public life,
and valued nothing but the petty dis
tinctions of the court circle. He de-
scribed them as very good natured peo-
pie, of crude and primitive manners,
but complete liars and destitute Of
principle or high feeling"
The real aristocracy of u country
consists of those who take the lead in
strengthening, teaching and improving
it. Ancient birth has nothing to do
with the true aristocracy, not even in
the comparatively unimportant matter
of polite demeanor. Some OF the
greatest blackguards now living on the
sarth had unexceptionable great grand
fathers, and some OF the most consum-
mate gentlemen have made their own
way, unaided, from the lowliest homes,
or still inhabit them. Y. journal.
