lozenge of white crystal, relieved with steel
and finished off at the edge with dew drop
fringe, says London correspondent of The
DISPATCH. The bodice is white satin
trimmed with ostrich tips; the train is OF
the best and thickest white cloth, which
costs, by the way, quite as much as Court
brocade lined with swansdown. Since the
Empress of Austria and Archduchess Valerie
have adopted cloth tor evening wear, this
somewhat heavy material has become quite
the thing. 1t is said, however. that the
Queen does not regard the innovation, at
east, so far as Court dresses are concerned,
with favor; and the Court Chamberlain will
probably prohibit "any materials but silk,
satin or velvet" before the next drawing
room.
One of the latest things in screens is a
gigantic web with spider of proportionate
size.
a very good afternoon gown is Of Bor-
deaux red wooden stuff. The plain skirt is
gathered very full at the back, and bordered
with deep band of silver and black en-
broidery. The short bodice is fastened at
the side, and embroidered with black and
silver in the back, yoke-shape across the
shoulders, in front coming into the point of
the waist. A very full founce of the en-
broidered stuff falls over the tops of the
sleeves down to the point of the bodice,
which is finished with a black and silver
girdle. A soft ruche of black feathers
round the throat gives an effective finish to
a most charming costume. Such gown
could, of course, be worn to small dinners
of evenings.
"Here is something new that we are hav-

Something About the Ventilation of His

Something About the Ventilation of His
Gift to New York.
New York Herald
The fresh air that is used in the ventilat-
ing system of Carnegie's Music Hall of
New York is taken in above the roof, some
130 feet above the curb line, and brought
down through shaft into what is known as
the "fan room," the inlet capacity being
over 5000, 900 cubic feet of air per hour.
Here it is distributed by means of four
large fans and four engines through the
house by an intricate system of ducts, some
of which are nearly as large as the corridors
themselves.
Nor is this all. In the upper part OF the
"lateral building" are three supplementary
fans and engines, which act as counter irri-
tants to the air (hot or cold at pleasure),
which are made to sweep through the build
ing with such cleansing power.
Engineer Russell assured me that the air
in each room could be and was changed
every 20 minutes.
To test the power of the ducts through
which the currents were sent, I was forced to
use both hands to open one of the doors
through which the air was circulating. Bits
of paper were tossed about as in a whirl-
wind. And yet. in the room above, into
which the current was turned, there was no
unpleasant feeling of draught so we'll was
the air regulated andsso uniformly diffused.

placed in a deep, fat dish, with pieces of

around it. The dish should be kept full of
water and then placed in dark room until
the roots begin to grow. Fit funnel of
stiff paper over the dish, with large open

warmth after the leaves appear. When the
leaves reach the top of the funnel take the
paper awav and place the dish in a sunny
window. The buds will soon appear and
each bulb will give six flower stalks, each
one of which will bear several beautiful
flowers.
For tall, slender figures the three-quarter
length bodices and jackets are most becom-
ing, but they are disastrous if worn BY a
short and fat woman. A very good example
of this style of costume was shown by
smart London dressmaker the other dav.

The skirt is short and narrow, economical,

justed, being buttoned to the waist by three
sensible suspender buttons. Two large
pockets, garnished with bright gimp of such
hue as may suit the feminine fancy, are
strongly attached thereto. Tine lower and

ments and may extend across the entire
front width as business increases; while the

No vessel ever before left Philadelphia

baIdi was defeated, Louis Paris, one of his
soldiers, living in this city, seized one Of
the color-bearers and captured the flag. He
bore it away in triumph, although the
Papal guards fought desperately to regain
their colors. For a long time efforts have
been made to discover the whereabouts of

to have a peep-hole in the shade when drawn
down. We have seen these window shades
usually Hollands. with q central section cut
out il the form of sphere or diamond, and
bit of Irish point lace inserted. Some
times strips of lace and Holland shade cloth
alternate, although the most approved use

A Lawyers Wit and Sarcasm Convulse All
Who Hear Him-Peculisr Suit for Hair
Work Goods-value of Trade Secrets
Other Court Cuttings.
The suit of the National Artistic Hair
Work Company against the Benedictlne
Sisters was on trial all day yesterday, be-
fore Judge Ewing. Early in the day coun-
sci for both sides asked leave of the court to
change the title of the defendants to ''St Bene.
diets Academy, Of Allegheny. Pa.," which was
granted.
The suit was an action to recover Sl,S45 for
material furnished the Academy. which con-
sisted of lot of charts, gaiy painted on light
canvas, showing cattle, dogs, children and
divers objects, together with a pamphlet OF
some 100 pages which was called BOOK 5 OF IN;
structions. This latter was said 10 be valued
at S254, and in the plea of the plaintiff great
stress was placed on the value of secrets OF
the trade" etc. The defense held that the ma
and that which was furnished was excrbitaDt
in price. To substantiate thus. several dealers
in artists materials we're put on the stand and
fonr pupils Of the academy also testified.
Thomas NJ. Marshall, ST., was the principal
counsel for the defense, and his address was
entirely confined to ridlculing the claim of the
plaintiffs. He convulsed the court, the jury
and the onlookers, at times, with his sarcasm
aimed at the high artistic merritt of the
goods, their gaily-painted charts of hairy dogs
nice, hairy dogs-or were they woolly ones7
and the cattlel and the little grill nice, re-
spectacle little girl to be in that company, and
see that horse-I wouldn't want him In my
barn." Then Mr.. Marshall turned his attention
to the book of instructions wherein trade
secrets were said to be contained. He read
portions of it to the jury, and characterized
the entire matter as very commonplace, and
declared there was no secret in ii.
The Judges charge to the jury will be made
this morning.
