the Wabash and Canadian Pacific railroads by
which they will turn over all their easthound

tion OF the small capote. The hair is
drawn down on the forehead in Z wayy

small pompadour pun. IL is French
psltr q simDls. and SO 10 the capote, which
is made of green emeralatinted velvet,
with soft bow of green silk, and dia-
mond and Jet butterfly.
The ball gown illustrated Is most
suitable and becoming to a brunette,
and is OF pearl-colored tarlstane with
feursttss in rose-colored bead. The
ribbon bows on the shoulder and at the
corsage are Of rose red ribbon relieved
by a gathered bertha of white lace.
The skirt has branches Of eglantine,
and the fan Is composed Of dainty rose
colored feathers.
The theater cape illustrated is made
OF wash-leather colored faced cloth.
lined with black satin, and adorned
round the throat with four box
plated frills OF black velvet The hat
also Of the yellow cloth, is somewhat
Of the "Dick WhIttington' shape, and
is edged with a narrow band OF black
astrachan; at the side are two black
ostrich tips, and in the center is jet
dagger, which ornament is also seen
piercing the knot OF astrachan on the
front of tie mufF.
1t is probably the French passion for
novelty which is bringing Russian lace
so prominently into favor in Paris. 1t
is stated that great Russian Princess
has thrown her example so forcibly
towards creating a demand for it that
one firm alone has ordered more than a
thousand pounds worth from the lace
makers OF Orel.
Hitherto 1t has only been used by the
Russians themselves and has been rrso-
tically unknown outside the Empire OF
the Cars. Nothing bat the purest linen
thread is used for Ii, and its primary
claim lies in the fact that 1t is the only
real lace which is produced In color
mixtures Clear, true white Is compar-
atively rarely seen in II, as the an
bleached fax makes rich ecru. With
this blue, either pale or deep. and a
strong red are commonly used, as these
shades are favored with the people.
Orange is also introduced with good
effect, and delicate Uie,fr rose shade, as
well as golden brown tint. are en-
ployed occasionally at intervals White
and red or white and blue are much
used, and occasionally is to be found
some delightful blending Of dark colors
only.
The designs are interestingly barbar-
ic, and these Russian laces are not only y
quaint novelties to wear, but lend them
selves acceptsbly to another fashion

the immense chimney Of the thread
works twice. The outer course of brick
was torn of In several places and tho
chimney probably injured in other ways,
SO that it was thought unsafe TO continue
the operation of the mills till an exam
ination could be made.
The height OF the stack is 3S5 feot,
greater than that of any other in the
United States. How TO examine and
repair the damage wrought was . prob
lem solved by Phillips, who offered to
climb the chimney and hang a
painters scafolaing from the top.
He proposed TO use ladders which he
would lash firmly to each other and 6x
to the side of the chimney by means OF
spikes driven into the cement between
the bricks. His proposition was sc-
cepted, and week ago last wednesday
he began TO ascend the chimney.
With ladders and ropes and spikes
Phillips set to work, and in few hours
he demonstrated the practicability OF
his plan. A fire truck ladder thirty.
Ave feet in length Was used as a
foundation, it's spikes at the bottom
being sunk in a heavy plank, and its
upper end fastened to the chimney
with hooked spikes, which were
firmly driven into the cement The
second ladder, which is twenty-five feet
long, was lashed TO the first, underlap-
ping Ii five feet A cross cleat of wood
was fastened at the base, to make the
union more secure. and a strong plank
