FASHION NOTES


There is no decrease in the length Of
the sunshade sticks this season.
Velvet ribbon an inch and half
wide do well for bonnet strings.
Armure and faille Francaise silks
are appropriate for elderly ladies.
Perfumes are worn any place and
every place but OH the handkerchief.
Fans to match the costumes are
out in all the new colors; thanks to
Japanese industry.
The latest styles in bedroom furni-
ture are very beautiful, introducing
several new woods.
A new material for summer dresses
is the japanese grenadine, which is
said to 'wcar forever"
Little wraps Of black lace and jet
and of netted passementerie in cords
promise to become popular.
Dresses of wool are combined free
ly with colored silk or with striped
satin in harmonizing colors.
Many of the new suitings brought
out for tailor gowns have fringed bor-
ders in q contrasting color on one sell
wage.
All the new bonnets are very small.
The front have sometimes wired lace
lappets for trimmings, which look like
butterflies wings.
All the little bonnets and toques
have strings of narrow velvet ribbon
in the back, and from the knot some
buds and bits of foliage peep out.
The marvellous excellence of the
French flowers this season almost sur
passes belief and is the delight of the
ladies'. They come into play in nearly
all styles.
The latest fancy in floral bonnets is
study in hawthorn and briar roses
surrounded by aigrettes of light green
foliage and tied with black OF moss
green velvet strings.
A new style of glove, with the
stamp of Paris on it, has the top or
arm made of alternate rows of kid
and fiat Val lace. Proportional to the
novelty is the price.
Cream, dove, ecru, reseda Milan
braids are all in favor, but are led in
popularity by Tuscan yellow, which in
turn is surpassed by black hats and
bonnets, these easily leading,
A neat hat for miss is poke
shaped leghorn with silk crown and
trimmings of white velvet forget-me-
nots. The facing is of lace, with
wreath of the same forget-me-nots.

THE SUMNER BODICE.

In nothing is the range of ideas more
observable than in the bodice. The
basque is by no means dispensed with,
it is freely optional. The Empire
waist is also retained, with its shorten
ing effect of wide, soft sash, so becom-
ing to young figures.
But there is also distinct revival of
the heightened, slender, moyen-age
bodice of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, which reappeared in modi-
fled form, forty years ago. 1t is now
outlined upon the hips with shaped
band of silk or velvet, taking the place
of the girdle, which, however, is also
revived in magnificent designs, and
occasionally displayed in artistic Co.'S
tunes. Such styles are only suitable
for the ceremonious dresses of ladies
no longer very young; soft materials,
gathered skirt, and surplice waist and
the Swiss corslet bodice, suit better
the light fabrics worn by young girls
during the spring and summer season.
The pretty plated rufiles for the
neck will be used as much or even
more than last year, but young women,
in fact all women who want them of
the desirable, soft, India tone in white
muslin and lisse, should make them
for themselves, or the plating will
not be fine enough for elegance. A
light summer cotton, or spring woolen
dress is wonderfully becoming with
one of these ruflles surrounding the
rtther low-cut round neck, which SO
charmingly frames the throat. - The
Housekeeper.

The party came off with eclat. Stacy
looked like newly opened rosebud.
The music was delghtful-the supper
such as onty Charezzi could get up.
.'But Stacv," said Emily Eldon, who
was of rather critical turn, "mamma
says yon shouldn't accept so many
favors from any gentleman who is
neither your relative nor your ac-
cepted lover"
':Does she?" said Stacy, with mis-
chievous sparkle of the eyes. "Well,
then, tell her to set her mind at rest; !;
Mr.. Vavasor is my accepted lover! He
asked me to marry him last night, and
I'm sure Aunt Anastasia knows it,
with bright upward glance at the por-
trait-'for see how she smiles down
upon me-"
And for moment it did seem as if
there was smile on the face of "The
Lady With the Pearls" - TFireside

The Song.

The Song.
The poet sang of War, that mighty king
Whose crown is flame, whose oath is thun-
dering,
Whose sceptre steel. The paan shrilled
unheard
OF fiery souls by batle-fury stirred;
And screaming shells out-sang his minstrel
ing.
Again he sang the glorics Gold can bring;
Ort-voiced him now the coins metallic ring
And, mad for gain, men needed not word
The poet sang.
Then softly to his own heart did he sing;
And trembling-sweet song of Love took
wing,
AS tender as the call of mating bird:
The smoke-grimed soldier In the trenches
heard,
The flushed gold-heaper caught each whisper
ing
The poet sang!
-[Dorothea Dimond in Frank Leslie's.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
VANITY AT THE TABLE.

From Paris comes the information
that an essential to perfect dinner
service at the present time is q small
mirror, handsomely mounted, placed
upon the table in front of each lady.
This singular appurtenance enables the
lady to crafty her natural solicitude
as to the condition of her coiffure and
as to her general appearance; further
more, by an adroit manipulation Of
the mirror one is able to see what is
going ON around her.

same gems, going round to the other
ear, across the forehead just at the
line of the hair. How those gorgeous
jewels were kept in place was secret
known only to madame's coiffeur and
jeweller, but it was "Javanoise," and,
therefore, beautiful and distinguished
innovation on the diamond star and
butterfly ornamentations. Such is one
of the results of the Paris Exhibitions
where the fashions of Java dancers
were first introduced to Western imi-
tators.

Ran His Train Through the One Ahead.
.There are heroes and heroes, and
there are heroines and heroines," said
Chauncey M. Depew in speaking of
personal bravery. "There are blue
shirted men who 60 over our railroad
lines every day in engine cabs who
would laugh at you if you intimated to
them that they are heroes, and who in
spite of all are as brave as any man
who ever drew sword or carried a
musket. Railroad men have seldom
much time to think. They are towards
or heroes in second. Not long ago
one of our engineers of an express
train rounded turn in the road and
saw that another train had been derail-
ed, and lay right across the track. A
collision was inevitable. The engineer
might have taken chances and jumped,
but he didn't. AS he said afterward:
"I saw right away we were in for
it, and like flash it struck me that our
only chance was to go right ahead and
cut through if we could. So l threw
her open and let her 60
"The experiment was perilous, but
it was successful. He did 'cut through,
and no one was injured. This act of

courageous, cool-headed man.
"Another engineer on a Western

ago with tragic results. He tried TO

Gold From Siberian Mines.

A very heavy consignment of gold
from the Siberian mines recently ar
rived at st. Petersburg. Our CORES
pondent telegraphs that the caravan,
which left Irkutsk on the 9th of De-
cember, took 1885, $40 ounces of gold.
The wagons containing it were escort
ed by 800 Cossacks, under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Coils. Mekrassoff and
Karneyotf. Part of this gold was
from the Amoor fields.

"Wnat's this, Stacy?"
DR.. Deemer stared first at her, then
at the slip of pale green paper in her
hand.
"It's check, Uncle Deemer, for
two hundred dollars. Canyon cash it
for me?"
"A-check !"
"Yes. I've sold my aunt Anasta-
sia,' calmly admitted Stacy. ''She's
going to help me give my party, the
darling Lady With the Pearls"

gentleman could be made to under
stand the full extent of his niece's der

HER PARTY.
BY SHIRLEY BROWNE.

"Fm sorry to disappoint you, little
girl" said Doctor Dcemer, "but l am
afraid this party of yours is quite out
of the question"
Stacy set down the quaint old Chinese
coffee-pot and looked at him with
large bcryl-bluc eyes of disapproval.
'.Uncle," said she, '.you promised
it to me-"
Doctor Deemer retreated behind the
stronghold of the weekly paper.
Stacy's reproachful eyes were too
much for him.
EYES," he acknowledged, ~ know
/ did. And meant to keep my prom
Use, but ] couldn't foresee then how
things would turn out. Our funds are
very low; in fact, we seem to be in
debt everywhere. l don't really know
what is to be the end of it."
"Yet," said Stacy, with slow, severe
accents, 'you went to the book sale
ar. paid forty dollars for that old
edition of Beaumont and Fletcher"
"Ye'. know, Stacy; it was a great
bargain"
'.Forty dollars would have furnished
music and refreshments for my
party"
"Don't scold, child" said the doc
tor, stirring his egg. "Tm very
sorry! forgot all about the party"
"You'rc always forgetting me-"
said Stacy, big tear balancing itself
on each reproachful eye. "Nly poor
party-and I'd told so many people
about it, and promised 10 invite all the
girls! l shall never accept any more
invitations, now that l can't repay
them!"
Plash-plash! went the big tears on
the old Canton china breakfast plate.
Doctor Deemer was tender-hearted
man, and the two diamond drops went
to his very soul.
"Don't cry, Stacy" said he. "Have
your party just the same, with cake
and lemonade. Dcb'y can make very
fair cupcake, and lemons are only
thirty cents dozen. And Simeon
shall bring up his fiddle"
"Cupcake, and lemonade, and
Simeon," scornfully uttered Stacy.
"No, Uncle Deemer, l haven't fallen
so low as that. l can do without a
party but can't condescend to second
rate invitations"
And she ran out of She room in the
tempest of tears, coming into collision
with old Dolby as she did so, and
scattering plate of graham gems on
the floor.
Doctor Deemer and his niece, Anas-
tasia, lived all alone in Roslyn Hall,
one of those great echoing houses where
everything goes to prove the empty
glow of the past. Doctor Deemer had
lost his fortune, and Anastasia's. too,
in series of disastrous speculations.
He had all the lasts of man of
wealth, and blind alteration of his
ancestry. He himself was quite con-
tent to dwell in life's shadow; but
sometimes it seemed to him as if Stacy
ought TO have little more sunshine.
Stacy thought so, too. Her 1S-year-
soul revolved against the sort of life
she led with a great rebellion.
"Louise Melton is engaged TO be
married." thought she, "and Emily
Eldon spends her winters in New
York. But l shall live and die an old
maid, for l never see any one, nor
travel anywhere Louise was going
to bring her Chicago cousins TO my
Easter party, and Emily was going to

A HEART DINNER,


A debutante had heart dinner Civ
en- to her the other day in New York
city. The tables were heart shaped
and covered with pale pink satin over
laid with a drawn linen cloth. AT
each plate was hcart-shaped, pink
satin bonbonnieIe and the menu had
stuck through it heart scarf pins for
the men and brooches for the girls. A
single heart of moonstone framed in
diamonds formed the pins, while two
hearts of the same style fastened to-
gether with tiny arrow of gold made
the brooch. The centre piece was a
huge heart of pink carnations, with
an arrow of white lilies of the valley
transfiXing it. The hostess wore rose
crepe gown and had silver heart as
the buckle at her waist ribbon, while
about her neck was :: narrow silver
chain and little silver heart on which
was inscribed: "To my hearts de-
light" Well, hearts have been play
things from time immemorial, and if
it is really true that for once hearts
are again trumps then Cupid Esquire

eous blue seersucker that day when he
came to see the prize chrysanthemums
in the garden"
Up and down, up and down the long
oak-foored gallery tore Stacy with
flaming checks and yellow curls stream
ing out behind. 1t was Stacy's way
when she got into passion to walk
herself out of it. Just opposite apor-
trait of ter great-grandaunt, whose
name she had somehow inherited, she
came to a sudden stop.
"Well," she cried, "why do you
stare so steadily down at me, Aunt
Anastasia, with those big blue eyes?

an opened letter lying on the dark
oaken floor, directly under the tar
nisl gilt frame.
"What's this?" she cried, "Oh, a

of Gilbert Stuart for a private collec-
ton, and have heard of THE Lady

Stacy Deemer rushed upstairs to her
room, wrote a hurried letter to the
New York picture dealer, ran to the
postofficc just in time to save the mail,
and came dancing back, her yellow
curls afloat, her cheeks pink as roses.
The wreaths of snow were melting

PAINTING HOUSE TO MATCH DRESSES.
TIE idea that women should dress in
such colors as will match their sur
roundings has its advantages, and again
it has its disadvantages. The writer
knows of young woman whose hus-
band recently purchased an artistically
painted Queen Anne cottage in de-
lightful suburb of this city. Last
summer, the first in the new home, his
wife would never sit upon the veranda
without being dressed in a gown which
contrasted harmoniously with the color
of the house. The long winter inter-
vened and this spring the color of the
house was allowed to escape from her
calculations in buying her summer
dress. goods. When they were all
bought it was discovered that they
contrasted vile'y with the veranda
Now she insists that the house be re-
painted. New York Tribune.
