The fine evening Nainsook petticoats
have as many AS seven tlounces of lace on
them. and the silk ones are daintily
fiounced and tucked. Some of the black
silk ones, for day wear, have a flounce OF
shot silk, with black lace over. For dav
wear are also made petticoats of bright
plaided silks, with ruffies of the same in
some cases; in others loose fiounces appear.
Then there are petticoats in plain, soft
silks of dainty color, with rows OF inser-
tion threaded with ribbon.
The variety in nightgowns is great.
Many are remarkable for their exquisite
work, the dotting all hand wrought, the
tiny Il jour veining appearing between the
plaits, the collars turning down from the
neck and making IA cascade downthe front,
which, turn it where you will, falls In
graceful folds Others have been trimmed
with the finest Irish guipure, which is
practically everlasting wear, and Others
again after the Mother Hubbard order.
The newest knickerbockers are cut wide
in the leg; some are gathered at the knee
on ribbons threaded through bands of in
sertiou; others are trimmed with frills OF
buttonholed cambric and curved upward
toward the top of the knee, where they cnl-
inmate in Il bow of ribbon. In the illus
tration are shown two styles of night
dress In the front of one appear insertions
of torchon lace and embroidery.

Ants are terrible fighters, says The Elk
aminer. They have very powerful jaws,
considering the size of their bodies, and
therefore their method of fighting is by
biting. They will bite one another anc
hold on with wonderful grip of the jaws
even after their legs have been bitten of
by other ants. Sometimes six or eight
ants will be clingng with death grip Il
each other, making peculiar spectacle
some with leg gone and some with hal
the body gone. One singular fact is thai
the grip of an ants jaw is retained ever
after the body has been bitten off ant
nothing but the head remains. Thi:
knowledge is possessed by certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, who put the auts to
very peculiar use. When an Indian gets /
cash cut in his hand, instead of having hi:
hand sewed together, as physicians do II
this country, he procures five or SIN larg'
black ants, and, holding their heads neal
the cash, they bring their jaws together IL
biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together Then the ln
dian pinehes off the bodies of the ants ant
leaves their heads clinging to the cash
which is held together until the wound II
perfectly healed

Gold and silver kid shoes are great deal
worn; indeed, the supply of this special Kid
is hardly equal to the demand. Many
Jewels are introduced into the embroider-
les, and occasionally the whole ornaments
ton is composed of gems. Velvet is coming
in for shoes, especially for bridesmaids, but
they require paste buckles. Bronze shoes
have returned to favor, and sometimes
these are checked all over with very narrow
ribbon.
With white dresses tan colored shoes
with pointed toes and tiny buckles on the
instep are much worn. Amy great orna
mentation on shoes is now out of date, but
they are often made Of gold and silver bro
cades and exquisite materials; and most oi
our leading shoemakers can make up pieces
to match the dress into shoes. few ol
the new shoes are richly embroidered il
the colors of the brocades; the bows, if any
are exceedingly small. One novelty is d
large lmcshed gold net applique all over the
shoes on to satin The high Louis XIV heels
are much worn.
