The Fashions Of Paris.

All Paris Is dancing now, and the great
modistes are at their wits ends to pro-
duce something so very novel that no one
has ever seen its like before; and perhaps
che nearest approach to something en-
tirely new is in the two elegant robes,
pictures of which are shown herewith.
There is a blending of all the styles and
ali the epochs since the time of Eve, and
they are both as pretty as they are novel.
The gown on the left side is of pale pink
tulle over glace silk in the same shade,
and the skirt is made plain and full all
around. Across the front is fastened an
enormous spray of roses and foliage of
the tea variety, in which pink and cream
color are blended.
The under corsage is made of cream
col9red crepe, as are the full sleeves.
The Spanish jacket is of black faille,
botdered with gold and jeweled gal
lo6n, and finished with a gold clasp.
Another robe made almost exactly
like this had skirt of cream faille with
ND overdress, and the flowers were en-
bboidered instead of being attached.
The other robe is in princesSe form
with rich train. The front of the
j5pon is of ivory white brocade, trimmed
across the bottom with a couple of mar

The merry Woman About Town in
The New York Evening Sun mentions
her experience in boarding houses when
there are and are not men TO be served.
To the average chamberInaid and female
cook, to nearly all women who have at
some time in their lives been employed
in q menial capacity, Man is always to
be written with big NJ. and Man is a
large tin god on wheels. If a Nan in
a boarding house oversleeps himself the
coffee is boiling hot for him. when he
comes, and the chops are the juiciest and
tenderest. The female dragons who
guard kitchen and dining room are ali
smiles for him and sugared sweetness.
But let the hapless woman boarder over
sleep herself! Scowls and frowns meet
her. She takes the cold scraps, and must
be glad even TO get them, says the
Woman About Town" This is a sam
pie of how the female servant regards
men and women generally. She shows
the instinct of the mental and the slave

they believe TO be the masters. That this
feeling among women toward the mas
culne sex has degenerated till Ii has

Women in the South Who Are Making
Mark.
In the first magazine in this country,
In Its most ambitious issue Of 1SS9-tne
holiday number-there appeared as Its
fairest attraction a story entitled "a
Golden Wedding" by Ruth McEnery
Stuart. Mrs Stuart is resident OF New
Orleans, and belongs to the best people
of her section. She is a young WIDOW
with one child, a son. A picture OF her
shows an expressive, intellectual face.
She is slight and graceful in figure.
Her fame is due largely to her success
as writer Of short stories, mainly In
dialect, which have appeared in The
Princeton Review, Youths Companion,
America, Harper's Magazine and other
popular and fastidious journals. She
has been particularly felicitous IN pro-
5ucing not only the words of her negro
characters, but the very coloring of the
thought behind the words, and her writ
ings in that vein are pronounced fault
less by the most competent judges; add
ed to chese rare qualifications is her bold
and original conception of plot and stu
alton. There is never a threadbare Incl
dent or a hackneyed scene-al fresh,
invigorating, stimulating. She has
achieved much and viii do more,
being young, gifted, in love with
her art, she will undoubtedly win
a place in the first rank of southern
writers. She will DO good work in
whatever field she labors, and admits, in

tious, though l find myself constantly

1t has been only a few years since
fugitive pieces commenced to fly about
in the southern papers signed with the
unfamiliar name quoted above. The
Atlanta Constitution and The New Or
leans Times-Democrat were the first to
recognize this new singer. For the most
part the poems were in the sonnet form,
said to be the highest and most difficult
medium for poetic expression. They
were strong, dramatic in thought, dainty
and quaint in dress, and soon the north
jern papers and magazines saw their dis
Itinguishing merit. The Century has hon
'ored Miss Bell with the publication Of
eight or ten Of her poems, and she now
} finds ready acceptance for all that she
sends to the press. Her most extensive
work has been the writing of no less
than 113 sonnets TO a beautiful, accom-
iplished and philanthropic lady of Allan
ia, the leader of society as well as the
pioneer in many noble charities.
Among her other poems are "Mari-
posa" Ghe Spanish idea 'sea-and-rest'
of the butterfly, written in very
arch and musical style; "Blind Tom"
on the wonderful, pitiful negro pianist,
and "Jo-reeter-Joree," descriptive of a
southern bird, reproducing with singu-
lar fidelity its weird and striking call.

A Man of Many Wounds.

Henry Gibbs, who was shot through
the body Sunday night, is again able TO
be out. This man is walking bullet
pouch. He is a man 81 years old, ana
was born in Clay county, Kentucky.
Two years ago he moved to Jellico, and
since his residence there he has become
involved in many difficulties.
The first was with Thomas Cotton, who
shot him in the left ankle, the ball lodg-
ing in the joint. The second t-me he
was shot by Nathan Collins, the bail
taking effect in his left knee joint, and
remaining there. The third ARRAY origi-
mated at Cumberland Gap, when he was
ambushed by seven men. Colan Turner
shot Gibbs in the right side with two
loads of buckshot and birdshot. Over
200 shot have been picked from his side
and shoulder. At the same time Al
Cole shot him with 44-calibre in the
right breast, the ball coming out under
the shoulder blade.
Gibbs got three Of his wounds in this
battle-the fourth, fifth and sixth times
by Andy Griswold, one ball taking effect
in the right breast, another through the
right shoulder, and the third entering
his left thigh, and, ranging downward,
lodging in the heshy part Of the leg. The
sixth time was Sunday night, in n diff
Guilty with Harry Broughton. who shot
him through the body, the ball entering
on the left side, and was cut from under
the skin On the right side. This laid
him up for seven days.
He has been cut fifteen times. and
carries the scars to prove his assertion.
he does not seem any the worse for his
wounds, ana talks in a joking manner
about his many shooting and cutting
