haired camel's-hair goods, tweeds,
homespuns, fine ladies' cloths and
other materials suitable for tailor
gowns. Heavy knotted effects are a
noteworthy feature of many of the new
goods. Large quantities of figured,
striped and plaided goods appear on the
invoice books of importers, but these
are invariably accompanied by plain
goods to match them in color. The
fancy goods is to be used spar+ngly with
the plain. In most cases it is confined
to the front OF the dress, the sleeves,
collar, and some simple garniture of the
bodice, the remainder of the dress be-
ing made Of tho plain material. In
many dresses the skirt is made en-
tirely of the plain gools, and the
figured or plaidcd fabric is used only for
the sleeves, tho pointed girdle and the
faring collar. Thus q natural-colored
camel's-hair cloth of oxquisitely silken
weave forms the chief part of suit and
figured camcrs-hair in the same shade,
with large moon spots of long wool,
forms the front, the largo sleeves, and
the collar. There are wool cloths fig
ured with zig-zag lines of black velvot,
and patterned in varied ways with uncut
velvet in different colors natural
brown, old blue, mode, silver-gray, and
other grounds; and this material is con-
fined in the gowns in which it is used
to the sleeves, collar, and slight garni-
ture of the front of the skirt. Cancels
hair cloths crossed with narrow bands of
astrakhan or striped with lines of heavy
knotted threads are to be used similarly
with plain cloth.
There are many pretty, soft wool
cloths in natural colors striped with
shot threads in more brilliant hue,
called by importers ''Longchamps suit
ings." These are intended to be made
up with sleeves of soft corded silk. The
''Bois de Boulogne suitings" are shown
chiefly in mixtures in which some shade
of natural gray, brown. or stone blue is
the prevailing hue. They are imported
with velvet accompanying them in dark

lar The importation of silk and velvet
dyed to harmorize exactly in color with
the wool goods with which they are to be
used is feature of the season and will be
very gratifying to ladies who have spent
in this city untold time, after purchas-
ing dress, in shopping for silk or vel
vet to match it; and who have been
forced at last to take something far
from satisfactory. Many of the new
velvet sleeves are embroidered this sea-
son, as change from the plain velvet
sleeves so much worn last summer.
These are imported with the collar
worked and ready to be cut out. The
plain velvet or silk sleeve is not as new
as the figured or embroidered ONE

LUXURY AND MISERY.
Two City Items That Form Delicious Con-
trasts of Light and Shade.


There is pretty blonde at the Man
sion who, while ignoring any personal
adornment with jewels herself, lavishes
wealth of beautiful diamonds on an
ugly and diminutive pug dog, which is
her inseparable companion. She is de-
cidedly masculine in her dress and treats
the seashore dude with a naughty air
which borders on contempt. Her homo
is in Germantown, Philadelphia, and
her acquaintances there know her as
an expert equestrienno and crack
shot. She never wore jewelry OF any
kind, although her collection of dia-
monds easily exceeds $1,000 in value.
But her dear puggie" fairly glitters
when he is dressed for the promenade,
and besides wearing diamond earrings,
that would be the envy OF any society
belle, he has collar around his puny
neck which is studded with no less than
sixteen pure white gems. This aristo-
cratic little canine has a number of out
fits which are literally sprinkled with
diamonds. and altogether would be a
rich prize for smart sneak thief.

WHIMS OF FASHION.
What Stylish Women Will Wear DuriI
the Coming Season.

What Stylish Women Will Wear During
the Coming Season.
Light colors are still in great favor.
and black is gaining prominence in con-
trast.
Gray is to be we'll worn this winter i'm
combination with soft yellow and gold
braid.
The newest and most unique idea of a
dressing gown is monks robe with
knotted rope girdle.
Mechlin lace is used for trimming
costly lingerie, to which its fine delicate
mesh is we'll adapted.
All women wear tightly clinging
gowns and bodices that mould the fig
ure. Few women look we'll in Thorn.
New lace-trimmed handkerchiofs have
quarter-inch hens and are edged with
inch-wide Valenciennes lace.
Cotton and muslin balayeuses are to
be replaced by silk or a thick colored
zephyr embroidered in white.
Turquoise and jet is the latest fash
ionable combination. Bodices and the
fronts of skirts are frequently embroi-
dered with them.
Among the most popular wedding
presents are vinaigrettes, with large,
dull gold tops, bearing the brides mon
ogram set in diamonds and rubies. =
Wooden muslins are taking the place
of the organdies. Some resemble Not
tingham lace, others are striped or
plaided. All are stylish and durable.
The new make of shirt is moro lady
like than the stiff mannish front and is
arranged all over with small inch-wide
box plaits drawn in at the waist beneath
belt
Corselets are made in Swiss belt
fashion, with slight points below the
waist, and much longer points rising on
the chest in front and between the
shoulders in the back.
Cairo embroideries are novel and
beautiful, and promise to be largely
used on winter dresses, on vests, cuffs,
pockets, and senorita jackets. The
gold and silver boleros already in use
are most effective. The workers as
we'll as the wares are to be imported to
England.
1t is prophesied by the seers that
long gold chains arc coming in again.
The new ones are set with pearls by
way of variety, and certain great
Duchess has set the seal of popularity
upon them by appearing in one, which
many of the fashionable women in Lon
don are hurriedly copying.
Soft twill silk petticoats in deep red,
scarlet, or old pink, or any preferred
color, are made with five bias ruff1es
pinked out on each edge and gathered
full. These petticoats are very light in
weight, and have superseded lace
trimmed China silk skirts for both
house and street wear.
New pocket handkerchiefs are em-
broidered in flowers in their natural
colors, and each of the owners initials
are wrought in different colors. Very
Frenchy indeed are those of sheer white
linen, edged with deep real lace in
black and with black lace butterflies or
bees appliqued on tho linen.-N. Y. Sun.

INSECTS AS MEDICINE.
Old-Time Remedies Derived from the AMI
NAL Kingdom.

maj hiDHuOm
A writer in an old number of the
Galaxy has furnished curious exhibit
of the practice OF old-time doctors in the
use of remedies derived from the ami
NAL kingdom. 1t furnishes good meas
ure of the progress of the human intel
lect Insects once formed class of
medicines, considered very effective in
certain cases, and time was when the
doctor would order a dose of three gnats
or three drops of lady-bird milk, just as
he might order three grains of calomel
in our day. Wood lice, ants and beetles
used to be prescribed for the cure of
toothache. The sacred beetle is eaten
by the women Of Egypt and regarded as
an emblem Of fertility. The oil-beetle
exudes deep yellow oil from the joints
Of the legs. which Was esteemed diuretic
and used in rheumatic complaints; it
has also been recommended in hydro
phobia. In some cases the effects at
tributed to these curious remedies may
possibly be produced by them, as, for
instance when Turkish women, eat,
cooked with butter, the 6taps SutcatG Ia
sort of beetle), with view to the de-
velopment of fat; but when the same
remedy is represented as an antidote
against earache and the sting of the
scorpion, we are less inclined to believe
in its etilcacy.-Christian at Work.

PARK.-The death Of w. w. Park, well
known to every one in Montpelier where
he has llVed Tor over quarter Of a century
occurred yesterday morning, shortly before
eight o'clock. While during his last few
hours death was expected at almost any
minute, he had not been critically i'll until
within week, although for "A wear his
health had been poor Last fall he had an
attack of typhoid fever, and since then he
AT no time had recovered his former health
Mr. Park was born at Newton, Mass, on
July II, 1881. In 1851 he moved with his
parents to ROyaton and from ROyalton he
went to Greensboro. 1t was at Greensboro
that he met Miss Martha Baker, whom he
married in 1862 and who survives him. Mr.
Park came to Montpelier in 1861, and in
1862 he entered the employ of w. +. Nc
Clure, remaining with him until 1865, when
he began business with John Taft, under the
firm name Of j. Taft & Co. Later on the
firm name was changed to Bailey & Park,
E. w. Bailey having succeeded Mr.. Taft.
For several years they carried ON an eX-
tensive business in flour, feed, meal, gro-
ceries etc, but it was finally decided to d-
vide the business, Mr.. Bailey taking the
grain department, while Mr.. Park continued
the grocery trade. Mr. Park took as part
ner, little later, &. A. Robinson of st. Johns
bury, but afterwards he conducted the busi-
ness alone up to April last, when l.. b. Brooks
became associated with him. Throughout
this long and active business career Mr..
Park enjoyed the confidence OF all with
whom he became in any way connected,
and his integrity and honesty of purpose
and method were unquestioned He had
five children, one of whom died while quite
young. Three daughters and son still
live to mourn the death of a loved and in
dulgent father. The daughters are Mrs.
w. G. Berry and Misses Katherine 4. and
Mary. His son Harry is twelve years of
age. Mr.. Park was Mason, but his retir-
ing disposition led him to refrain from
active work in any social organization.
His life was spent in the circle Of his fam
lily and intimate friends, to whom he made
himself companion and helper in the
truest sense of the words. He was genial,
cordial man in all his intercourse with
others, and the respect in which his memory
is held is evnced in no better or convincing
way than by the expressions of regret at
his death that are on the lips of his neigh
bors and acquaintances. The funeral will
be tomorrow afternoon at the residence on
IOOmiS street

not claim that death can not enter our

no mystery to any one who looks into the

body, mind ard spirit is health-giving.
