English Serge Dresses with White silk
shirts.
The most useful dress for summer
journeys and for general wear is a
plainly made tailor gown of homespun
or Cheviot of light weight in beige or
blue-gray shade, or else of the rough
surfaced striped woods in gray and
white, with slight mixture of color
yellow, blue or brick red. The bodice
Is what English women call the fitted
froclS-coat, cut double breasted, with
revers collar and extending well over
the hips evenly all round. A plastrom
and standing collar of the material or a
linen chcmisette fill out the open neck.
The sleeves are of moderate size and
very long. One or two rows of stitch
ing give neat finish to all the edges and
two rows of polished horn buttons are
set down the front. The skirt escapes
the ground all around, and is of two
straight breadths fitted by darts in
front and on the sides, with all the full.
ness in the back in box plaits that are
deeply folded from belt to foot. A hem
four inches wide has two rows of
stitching-not more-at the top. The
foundation skirt is of silk or alpaca, as
the wearer prefers.
Dark blue English serge dresses are
as popular this season as they have ever
been, and the new fancy is to add a
vest OF t%an-colored cloth or homespun
that may almost be called yellow.
They are made with a coat of the sim.
plest shape, with or without a seam
across the hips, reaching eight or ten
inches below the waist The vest is a
single piece of the tan wool four inches
wide at the top, tapered to a point at
the waist line; it is sewed in
on the right side under "a row
of closely set black horn but.
tons (three-fourths of an inch in
diameter), and is buttoned to a similar
row down the left side. A standing
collar is tan.colored in front the width
OF the vest, with the remainder of blue
Serge. The sleeves have slight fitness
at the top, and are close about the low
er arm, with three small buttons that
close the opening at the wrist. The
skirt is of the familiar English shape,
or else it has a slender panel down the
left side of the tan-color inlaid between
folds or plaits of the same serge.
White linen and white silk skirts are
IA part of blue serge gowns intended for
midsummer in the country. They are
made with shield-shaped bosom like
those worn by men, and a standing col
lar broken over at the points. Stud
buttons are added and n scarf of white
or blue foulard. The coat of serge is
slashed at the sides, and its fronts do
not meet, leaving the shirt and the
white silk lining in view. A broad re.
vers collar in Directoire shape is piped
with white wool, and large white but
tons are set on each side Of the front
from the waist line upward. A white
straw sailor hat, with gold or silver
ribbon band around the crown, accom-.
panies this gown. Other shirt waists
of white silk, with bayadere stripes of
pink or light cherry-color, are worn by
young girls with blue serge coat and
skirt. Stylish rough blue diagonal
woods for gowns have bayadere stripes
OF red or tobacco brown woven in them.

SWORN EOES.

The dey OF Sun-up was OF splendid renown,
His name and his fame were worldwide;
He'd treasures untold of bright sparkling
gold,
And many possessions beside.
His armies were quartered all over the earth
Through Africa. China, Japan,
On land aud on sea twas admitted that he
Was a very remarkable man.
And yet in despite OF the honors and praise
This wonderful monarch had won.
There was gall in the cup Of the dey Of
Sun.up!
For there's nothing new under the sun.
And this was his grievance; the cause Of his
Woe;
That made such a martyr OF him;
His kingdom SO fair, fate compelled him to
Alasl with the knight OF Dublin.
Now, the dey of Sun.up was o jolly old soul,
And fond Of warm corners and such,
And cold, icy looks, and snow- covered hooks,
A Would all melt VT at his touch.
= And be said to himself, with Il terrible glare,
And q fash Of his saber, so bright:
SlfI get on his track I'll soon drive him back,
So look to your ~laurels, Sir Knight"
A hAAhhtp VI buiuiLh NuS as ItdltuS, ltE-

And his armies in somber array
he would gather about him and boldly set
out
To make an attack on the dey.
And he said to himself, with n terrible
frown-
His face was q sight to see:
"When / enter the field l will force him TO
yield,
And surrender his sword to mel"
So daily the conflict goes on between
These two, so fierce to begin;
And strange to relate, it is fixed by fate
That each shall q victory win.
For as soon as the evening hours come on
The knight has a chance to reign;
Till the veil is withdrawn that hides the
dawn
And the dey's on the throne again.

We had an excellent crossing, and
after a hasty supper at Calais, had
got into a first-class carriage in the eX.
press to Paris.
AT Amiens a French gentleman en-
tered the train and seated himself di-
rectly opposite me. He was in a talk

fore we We're engaged in conversation,

himself to me as the Marquis de Ker.

on the general variety of Partisan
topics.
When we had spoken together for a
little noticed that he was staring at
me in Il manner that was almost often
sive. His eyes were fixed on my collar.
While | was wondering whether any
thing in my linen was exciting the GU
riosity and interest of this carefully
attired old gentleman, he bent forward
and said, in a quiet and altered tone of
voice:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but what a
curious scarf pin that's that you are
wearing. Would you mind showing it
to me-"
willingly complied with his request,
took the pin out of my tie, and handed
it to him.

round and round. At last he handed it
back to me with a curt:

mystifed by his change of manner.
But he made no answer.
Finding it impossible to get a word
out OF him, | shrugged my shoulders
and settled down to my thoughts.
When we reached Paris ! jumped into

hotel. As was leaving the bureau of
the hotel, where | had registered, to
go to the room assigned to me, | met
the old gentleman again. He stared
hard at me as | passed, first at my face
and then at my pin.
But had no inclination to trouble
my head as to the reasons of his eccen-
tricity, and dismissed him once more
from my mind.
