daughter Of a respectable washerwoman,
and while still quite young married la

Leaving him after time she crossed the
water and took service with the family
Of Mr.. Lalor, at Dublin. Mrs. Lalor
died, and the help" became known as the
widower's niece" In this capacity she
met Dr.. Arthur Macan, a fashionable ply
stefan, who married her after brief court
ship. Before the honeymoon was over Mr..
Lynch arrived in town, and sued the doc
tor for alternating his wife's affections.
Macan sent the woman back to America,
and jury assessed him one farthing for
the damage he had done to Mr.. Lynch's
domestic happiness.
All these facts came to light the other
day as a result of Mrs. Lynch's extraordi-

brought her some cash and q good deal of
notoriety.
These ara but a few instances among
many of the manner in which the advent
uress plies her trade and solves the prob

are many, but they are all based on the
old time propositions that man can be
fooled, and that a clever woman can mold
him to her wishes like wax.

upon the skirt in front. The oorssse
was trimmed to simulate basque with
the same pattern of lace, and the front
was filed in with white chiffon.
The ornamental panels for the new
rich materials which viii be worn late
this fall and winter are very beautiful.
The form is made in an elongated V, to
be applied with the wide part down
ward. The embroidery is Of the richest
description. Some of them are worked
on faille or silk, and in all the soft Per-
sian colors, interspersed with gold and
silver threSds. The lovely cream serges
will have a panel Of violet or mauve
faille, with regular lace pattern en-
broidered all over it in heavy silk.
Sometimes the veinings are done in gold
or silver thread, making it wondrously
beautiful.
White and cream colored Spanish lace
are both used very much in oombina-
ton with surah, faille and foulard silk,
and one or two very novel gowns are
shown of black faille with the sntire
front breadth Of white lace, with sleeves
and vest to match. This is SO novel
fancy that it will become very popular.
Another is of msuve faille, princesse
style, with perfectly plain back, plated
heavily, and in front it is draped grace
fully with white lace, of which the full
sleeves are also made. The waist dra-
perry is very novel and stylish.
