wish to add few words on outing
costumes to my letter of last week, as
there are some new developments in
them. and now is the time to speak OF
them or hold my peace the rest of the
summer.
Besides the snug fitting jerseys are
blouses Of every description, some made
of Jersey cloth and others of surah, pom
gee and wash silk, besides flannels The
surah blouses are in dark blue, red, terra
Gotta, beige and figured goods. 1t is q
great boon to be.able to buy these all
ready made and beautifully finished, as
few can sew as neatly or give the same
style. These come in graded sizes and
will be sold in all first class stores in
America.
The sailor blouses, however, are only
suitable for mountain climbing, yacht
ing or the seaside, or any active outdoor
occasion where plain dressing is neces-
sary. Those made of jersey cloth are
very pretty and durable, but not SO novel
or cool as those in the pongees and other
silks. Blouses in navy blue and the wash
silks will be worn very much by little
bows and even men for summer. lcould
not get the exact price of them, but
think they will cost about dollar and
half to three dollars apiece, according to
size and work.
Among some of the novelties for out
ing dresses, noticed several suits of
pongee in beige and dark blue and white,
all made in the the same style, viz: a
straight full skirt with a fiat bias band
stitched on with feather stitch, and a
sailor blouse, trimmed with narrow
feather stitch in the contrast. A wide
fringed out and knotted sash finished
each-the blouses laced up the front.

Rabbi r. L. Hess of the Mount Zion syna-

He has, what comparatively few persons pos
soss, complete copy of the Talmud, in
twelve volumes, folio, of the Frankfort edi-

ing the accretions of ages of Jewish comment
and exegesis on the law, has never been trans
lated into English in Its entirety, very
small portion Of il, indeed, is accessible TO
English readers There have been reports

pressed into less than twelve volumes, and to
render il into an English equivalent would
take many more volumes, for the Hebrew

near passing, failing on the last night OF the
session, and each by only few votes.

THE DOCTORS BILLS.

But two bills were passed affecting the medical
profession. The bill in which they were most in
terested that making a state board of medical ex-
aminers and iicensers, was permitted TO die with
many olher bills on the second reading calendar.
The bills which passed have become laws by the
approval of the governor. One OF them regulates
the practice of veterinary surgery IL provides
that every person practicing veterinary medicine
surgery shall be a graduate of a legally char
tered college or university, but practitioners of
five years standing at the time Of the passage Of
this act are permitted 10 register

adored angel pets
Of doggies. l have obtained sketches
of tho collars of three famous dogs who
have tho honor to belong to famous
ladies.
The bottom one is the collar worn by
Mrs. Langtry's little pug, mouse color
ed creature with nose as black as print
er's ink, and so tip tilted that you could
hang hat on it. The band is Of blue
velvet with golden bells, and a golden
plate in front with the angels name on
it. His name is "Pedee." The one at
the top belongs to Mrs. Frank Leslie's
little black and tan Zulu" The collar
is of red morocco, with golden bells and
clasps. This little dog is not as amiable
as her pretty mistress, but is much ad-
mired nevertheless and has over $500
worth of jewelry of her own in shape of
collars and bracelets.
The second collar belongs to Mrs.
George Gould's Terror" the mildest,
fattest and LATEST dog in existence. He
has but one fault. He is purse proud,
millionaire pug, and turns his nose up
at every dog less fortunate. His newest
collar is of ruby velvet, studded with
jewels.
The pug with the harness is fancy
sketch and only to show the newest har-
ness. Lazy ladies embroider them very
prettily.

HOW TO Clean silk.

For every quart of water required to
cleanse the silk pare and crate one large po-

must be cold, and let stand for two days
without disturbing it. Rain water is pre-
