WOMAN'S WEAR.

stylish than cream color.
 London is making a heroic effort to bring
 Breton lace again into fashion.
 A prophet of evil foretells for this year
 Easter gowns and b0nrcts of fashy red.
 Sashes fringed with all colors of the gown
 now come with the uew box empire dress pat
 terms
 Large rosettes of the very narrowest rib
 bon are at once the newest and most stylish
 trimming for bonnets White underwaists will be worn again this
 summer, both by very little children and those of larger growth. The monogram must now be embroidered twice upon the tablecioth at a point half way from the center to each end. The old time hemstitching is now favorite finish for all manner of house linen from table damask to pillow cases. A new fancy in fur is to wear the long black marten, Alaska sable, wrong side up, so as to show its lovely soft pile. She whose profile has the faintest Simian suggestion should avoid as she would the plague the cape or boa of monkey fur. Meek and lowly does not begin to express
 the flat snallness and lack of height of the fine new capote beguine, or baby bonnet. Satines will be as much worn as they were
 last season, especially the new French ones
 which closely simulate self toned brocade. A Parisian fancy for silk or satin footgear is to wear in place of bows four small mouse
 ears of silk lined with a contrasting color.
 A new stuff for ball gowns, just out in Paris, is tulle, with embroidery of the mar
 rowest ribbon scattered all over its surface.
 Cloth waists for wearing with skirts of
 dark wool, silk or velvet, have long velvet
 revers turned back from a vest of bright cloth. Lace dessert doylies, fan shaped, with sticks of gold braid, are a new English dinner fancy and are said to wash well in spite of the tinsel
 Tulle and crape skirts for very young
 women are made straight and full without
 hem or finish of any sort to mar their sweet simplicity
 Baby's best gowns now made often of cream washing silk with the finest of torchon lace in place of the time honored canbric and embroidery.
 The short velvet jackets now worn with
 dressy home toilets require full toreador vests of embroidery in soft wool, and of a delicately contrasting color. The newest and oldest way to beribbon yourself is to pass wide one diagonally from shoulder to belt and tie the ends at the back quite upon the shoulder blade. Two of the handsomest new hairpin heads are a thistle ball in gold wire, each ray tipped with small diamond, and small sunhower formed of diamonds and rubes Henrietta cloth promises to be so much | used this season that it is well to remember 1 that good quality of all wool wears much | better than that with silk warp Hats just out from Paris have crowns so l low as to be almost invisible from the front. 1 As a make weight there Is more than @ | whisper of the chignons revival. Very pale shades of blue and green are | used together in some new evening costumes. l Needless to add that an artist must combine and beauty wear them, or the result will be | simply fearful.-New York Commercial Ad- l vertiser
 CVORcEs IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES l sanctioned.

 Divorces are scarcely allowed in Thibet, | unless with the consent of both parties; re-

 Among some tribes of American Indians l the pieces of sticks given the witnesses of the

 ing "come back again." they are divorced. 1 Two kinds of divorces are granted in Cir cassia. By the first tho parties can imme- 1 diately marry again; by the second, not for
 a year.
 1 In Liberia if man is dissatisfied with the most trihing acts of his wife he tears cap or veil from her face, and that constitutes a | divorce.

 | Among the Moors, if the wife does not be-
 come the mother of boy, she may be di- l vorced with the consent of tho tribe and can
 marry again.
 1 In the Arctic regions a man who wants a l divorce leaves home in anger and does not
 return for several days. The wife takes the
 hint and departs.
 l In China divorces are allowed in all cases | of criminality, mutual dislike, jealousy, in-
 compatibility of temperament, or too much
 loquacity on the part of the wife. l Among the Tartars if the wife is ill treated
 she complains to the magistrate, who at-
 tended by the principal people accompanies
 her to the house and pronounces divorce. l HOW THEY SHAVE. Joseph H. Choate slaves himself
