with tailor gowns, and for nous luetaire
Swede gloves Of eight-button leng,ns with
dressy toiIettes for making calls, the thea
ire, &c. Gray, tan and mode gloves re-
main the popular choice, with light pea,l
gray fer dressy wear. Wide Stitching IL
not used except on pearl gloves, when II
may be either black or pearl color. sac
gloves, into which the hands slip easily,
are for general use. White gloves are
fashionably worn with evening toilettes
and by bridesmaids, with white or colored
dresses, but light tan shades are by no
means abandoned.
The new grape iewelry recently. intro
duced in London is beautiful, and looks
quite seasOnable now. The fruit is beauti-
fully modelled and colored, and Of the nat
urai size. Ii doesn't look heavy or clumsy,
as one would suppose who had not seen it.
A brooch consists of three or four green or
purple grapes, and the stalk OF the fruit is
initiated IN gold. There are watch-chains
and bracelets Ornamented with the same
fruit.
A costly trine In buckskin metal trim
med, appears i'm the shape Of a riding coat
which may be purchased for the modest sum
Of 5000. This, however, to the equestrian
who seeks to secure chic habit bodice, Is
a matter Of small moment. Let the cut be
perfection, and she is willing and ready 10
pay for il. Certainly in nothing can the
figure be more completely moulded than
when encased IN this pliable mate
rial, which clings so lovingly to every
line Of the feminine form.
Partisan tea gowns are furnished with
antique bodices half high, the dropping ruhs
of lace and long sleeves reaching quite to
the wrist, being quaint and picturesque in
the extreme.
Plain gold pearl and jewelled passementa-
ries decorate the pointed Wristbands high
upon the sides, which are still used TO finish
toilets of white musseline De sole as the
Whitehead cloth.

Miss Kilson, daughter of Sir James Kill
son. the English steel king who has been
travelling in this country, has been taking
note OF some American women and fash
ions. She was interviewed in Baltimore,
with this result: american men are pretty
much the same as Englishmen. They dress
Just about the same, don't YOU know. and
are polite and chivalrOus, but the girls-oh,
my, the girls-they're different. Yes, the
ladies are different over here-that is, they
dress differently, you know. Their gowns
are more pronOunced-more striking
] think ! saw a typical American girl in
Birmingham. She was pretty, not thin moi
stout, fairly TALL and dressed-well, tribe
striking, as Fye said. That's about her,
isn't it, We went through all the fashion
able shops in New York and saw lots OF
pretty things, bnt, my. they cost so much
so very much more than at home, you
know" Miss kitsOn said that London, and
not Paris, now set the styles.-Chicago

Combination In Names.

In a family in Charlest0wn, Mass, there
are four boys; the first was named Leon I.
Carter. the second was given the name OF
Elmo c.. no thought being given to the
name previously given; later the colnci-
dence was noted that the name of the first
son contained exactly the letters of the
second and that, also by accident, the
termination OF the middle name was ton.
Two additional sons were born, and here
are the names Of the four:

The following resolutions were

1890:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this body to demand of each of the
Political Parties, when in convention
assembled, equal representation, or
representation according to our popa-
lstiOn. AS we are in the majority of
the voting population, we think we
have a right to demand this, First,
we think it essential to our success as
farmers, that we have farmer candi.
dates for representation, Senators,
congressman and Governor of this
State, and in order to carry out our
demands, we appoint committee in
each of the Political Parties to visit
said conventions when convened, in
order to let them know we are in
earnest about this much needed re-
form. AS in the language of the
Bible, knowing the terror Of the
laws, we make these demands, be-
lieving we have right to equal rep
resentation, with all other classes,
and occupations Of men, and we
demand nothing more, equal rights
to all, and special favors to none, is
