TWO BALL DRESSES.
One Dream of Red Roses, the Other q
Vision in Tulle.

One Dream of Red Roses, the Other q
Vision in Tulle.
Rich red roses, large roses and clus-
tiers of little roses, with buds and foli-
age, are put on the very edge of the
dress all round without any ruffle OF
tulle, in such manner that it looks as
II the wearer had been wandering in
rose garden, and had swept guam
tity of fallen flowers on to her trailing
skirt. The dress is of apple-green
silk, with a single vailing of brown
tulle, which goes right over the roses
The skirt is quite simple and the low
bodice very elaborate. It is of the
green silk with the lighttulle fulled
on to it; the neck has rich piece of
gold lace turned down all around it.
Then there is an arrangement of rib
bons which appears to me to SAVIOR of
the miraculous. A broad dark green
MORE ribbon edged on each side with
salmon color is drawn tightly around
the figure; it passes under each arm
and comes to the neck of the bodice,
both in front and behind How this is
drawn tight by the bodice being worn
defes the ordinary intelligence, but so
it is; and the Wearer looks as if tied
into the dress, especially as another
similar ribbon is knotted round the
waist. On the shoulders are high
pulled sleeves of the brown tulle, and
above those, higher still, row of up
standing bows of the green and yellow
ribbon.
Che moro evening gown | must de-
scribe, which to me is glorious in
color. The dress is all of pure daffo-
dil-yellow silk, vailed with tulle OF
the same shade. A full tulle ruffle
goes all round the skirt, and on it lies
a wreath Of the loyliest velvet pansiea
great rich pansies Of every shade
that grow in parsy petals, but with
the heliotropes and violets predom-
mating. All the rest of the dress IS
the full yellow, except for the waist
ribbon. matched to the heliotrope tint
in the pansies, and on to one long end

CoQUETTE.

She does not know
The ardor OF my passion
Though she's divine,
Such love as mine

She is so sweet,
But though discreet,
She's playful as a kitten.
And can see

II she knew how I'm smitten

The Bird Market of Lucknow.

Some birds are used incidentally,
and it is well known what strange
ideas native doctors have of the vir-
tues of bird flesh. Both the flesh and
the brains of the common sparrow,
especially the cock sparrow, are in
great repute for certain diseases; so a
cageful of these familiar chatterers is
never missing in the market. Certain
species are used in making love po-
lions, and are administered by rejected
suitors to the objects of their adora-
ton. On the other hand, the blood or
the flesh of an owl is supposed to make
a person insane who drinks or eats it.
On this account men who are de-
voured by jealousy of rival or hatred
of an enemy come furtively to the
market, and, purchasing an owl, in
silence carry it home secretly and pre-
pare decoction which an accOmplice
will put into the food or drink of the
object of their malignant designs.
The list of uses for bird flesh is not
exhausted yet. Eating a crow is sup
posed to prolong life by keeping the
hair black and preventing it from turn
ing gray. The common roller, often
called bluejay, has certain rites per-
formed over it, and is then set free
after one feather has been plucked
from it. This feather is then worn as
an amulet, and is supposed to have
great potency in averting the evil eye.
Another purpose for which birds are
purchased every morning is to be set
free again. This is done by Hindus
as a work of merit, and by Mohamme-
dams, after certain rites have been per-
formed, as an atonement in imitation
of the Jewish scapegoat.
1T is essential that a bird used for
this purpose should be strong enough
to fly away, but that does not induce
the cruel dealers to feed the birds or to
refrain from dislocating their wings
or breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck, and
leave the customer to choose a strong
bird if he can find one, and to go away
if he cannot.
The merit obtained by setting bird
free is not attributed to the Deity, but
is supposed to come in a large meas
ure from the bird itself or from its at
tendant spirit, and hence birds of good
or bad omen, and especially kites and
crows, are in much demand, and are
regularly caught to be sold for this
purpose.

Everybody Loves to Watch EN-.

it was on a Sixth avenue elevated
train the other day, and they got in at
Fourteenth street. Each was about
90 years old. Each wore heavy dark
coat of rich material, fur trimmed,
and with wide sleeves; each had Oh
gloves of the same shade, and from
beneath the skirts of each peeped out
the tiny patent leather tips of pair of
shoes that were evidently of the same
size. Each wore high hat with black
feathers, and little white plume set
off each hat in exactly the same way.
The costume of each was identical with
that of the other, even down to such
details as scarf pins and ribbons, and
each carried a square package that
seemed to contain crayon portrait of
herself or of the other one, which each
set down in front of herself and rested
against her knees at exactly the same
angle. Everybody in the car watched
them and wondered how their folks
told which from t'other. When they
got out everyone in the car smiled
comfortable, contented sort of smile
and settled down with an air of being
more at peace with the world than
formerly. A real nice pair of twins
always does affect folks that way,
somehow.-NewY York Sun.
