broehe, with pale tea-roses and very pale
green leaves. White gloves are worn
with this dress, and very large and
tremendously cOlored fan IS carried to
enable the lady to Withstand the heat and
maintain her spiOmb. Some of these
large fans have eIquisitely painted scenes
upon them, and that too, without rem
dering them very expensive. Many of
these paintings ara the work of young
girl graduates Of our art schools, and al
though they are mostly copies of decora-
tive art of the last century, yet there are
among them original compositions OF
genuine merit
Large fans of figured silk are carried,
Dut then weight IS against them, and
small woman sometimes has the appear
ance OF serving as prop to hold one up,
just as some little men look like peram-

snapped ostrich feather fans are also
much affected, and they have a gauzv.
gossamer, faint and hlmy look very beconl-

At the races nowadays IN New York one
sees many quaint and charming cos
tunes. Gray tailor-mades are very popu-

braided. Shirts and open jackets are

much affected, and they do look delight
fully cool and natty. A pink shirt with
black skirt and OyercOat made up strlk-
ing costume; so did white cloth finished
on with long white feather boa. A cor
durOy suit was very taking. There seems
to be a determination to make the skirt
go, and one sees it at the races In every
possible contrast. Black and white is
quite as pretty as any For town wear 1t
doesn't go so fast, but ii has future,
and you may as well prepare % see steam
laundries increase in numbers. Nothing
has more style about it than what the
hOrried men call a boiled rag, and
predict that before another year you'll
see us women in full dress shirts and
black cloth vests cut away to nothing at
the waist.
Some exquisite pearl-gray costumes
have made their appearance, one IN satin
trimmed with fringe at the bottom OF the
skirt and also on the putting on the
sleeves, black velvet collar and N-shape
insertion Of pearl jet. Another, plain
gray cloth visiting dress, having gray
fOulRrd drapery embroidered with large
red flowers on the front Of the waist.
With this costume goes a gray toQue, gar
nished with gray feathers. Still another
costume in gray consists of a short pearl
gray taffeta, with a darker shade of vel
vet as plastrOn, back of bodice, and
sleeves. The sleeves very high on the

roses, the hair showing through, the veil
fully gathered and fastened at the back
with diamond ornament. The parasOl

side. They are generally so much taken
up with the breakers, the sand, the shells
and the other things that they have no
time to make themselves very disagreea-
| bic. True, 1t isn't always pleasant to
have pail of sand emptied on your sun
shade at the very moment your young
man IS whispering something particularly
nice; but, taking one consideration with
another, children, especially when gayly
and tastefully dressed, decorate and en-
liven a stretch of sea beach. So long as
we don't have to pay for the damage done
to shoes and dresses by the sea water We
can easily put up with their mischief and
noise.
Nothing could be prettier for a little
boy, at the shore or inland, than a white
flannel sailor suit, with collars and cuffs
striped IN pale blue, or IN any other be-
coming color, and a genuine sailors
shirt, showing the white edge across his
throat. If children have good legs they
should always be shown. Of course, in
a genuine Jack Tar suit this cannot be
done, for the knickert ockers must be re-
placed by trousers with spring bottoms.
The doubled breasted REFER jacket should
have a deep sailor collar on the outside
to give it style and nattiness. These
suits should be IN navy blue serge, al

mOnstrOsity Of the bill AMI the false
pretense of its friends with glariGg
eiiec.. While showing its vicious
attacks on the agricultural interest,
all through, there is one point in
it which he refers to, exposing its
villainous purpose, that is really a
good thing, but nOl.sO intended. Las
year 20, $50 Mexican ponies were inn
ported, their average value being
$3.50 per head, which paid Il duty OF
$52 1863. Underline Mckinley bill this
number of horses would pay duty
of 1887, 200. Now, if Mckinley
would double this tax and stop tie
importation entirely he would do a
good thing for the stock raising in
terest Of this country.
